Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Then, the piercing sound of sirens rang out in Marineford.

The naval soldiers responsible for guarding Marineford were taken aback at first, but then quickly reacted and lined up in their respective ranks in the square of Marineford.

Ten minutes after the alarm rang, apart from the naval soldiers stationed at various locations in the fortress, the naval soldiers who were free to move around had already lined up, waiting for Sengoku's pre-battle mobilization.

Inside the Yuanshi office, Sengoku had already straightened his cloak.

"Reporting to the Commander, the Marineford naval soldiers are fully equipped. Please give the order."

"Reporting to the Fleet Admiral, Admiral Sakazuki has sent a message: the Beast Pirates have been spotted outside the Marine base."

"Reporting to the Marshal, apart from the warships remaining at Marineford, all other warships are ready to depart."

Sengoku nodded and said in a deep voice;

"Issue a recall order to all officers and sailors except those on sick or injured leave, temporarily canceling their leave. Inform Admiral Raleigh that there will be a military parade in the square in half an hour."

The Warring States period didn't really want to fight this battle, but it was one they couldn't avoid.

How could the justice that reigns supreme in the world allow pirates to swagger around in front of it?

Inform General Sakazuki that headquarters is aware of his predicament and will soon send reinforcements. Even if he faces an attack from the Three Emperors, he must hold the fortress until the reinforcements arrive.

Half an hour later, Sengoku, dressed in the uniform of a naval admiral, appeared before the fully equipped and ready-to-go naval soldiers.

The naval soldiers remained silent, all waiting for Sengoku's orders.

"I have gathered you all back today for an important matter."

"I'll keep it short here. Pirates from the New World are active near the naval base guarded by Admiral Sakazuki, including the three Emperors of the pirate world."

I know they are powerful, but the Navy is even more powerful!

"Therefore, the navy must eliminate these assembled pirates. Only by breaking their spirit can we lay the foundation for our own elimination of pirates."

"Let's go!"

Although many things from the Warring States period were left unexplained, the naval soldiers below all answered loudly:

"yes!"

Most naval soldiers joined the navy because of persecution by pirates, so they are born with a deep-seated anger towards pirates.

It doesn't matter where they fight pirates, since their goal is to wipe out all the pirates.

Raleigh gave Sengoku a solemn military salute.

Under Sengoku's command, large numbers of naval soldiers boarded warships in the port and began their journey toward the New World.

Raleigh stayed at the very back to direct the march.

Sengoku walked over unnoticed and said:

"Rory, this time you and Sakazuki need to team up, otherwise you might not be able to fight against the Emperor of the Pirates."

"I'm handing over command to Sakazuki this time. You don't have any objections, do you?"

Raleigh shook his head; he had no objection to taking command.

Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking how fortunate it was that Raleigh was guarding Marineford; if it had been Kuzan, he would have had a real headache.

He knew that Sakazuki and Raleigh had a good relationship, so Raleigh was the best person to cooperate with Sakazuki.

"Master of the Warring States Period, I would like to ask, to what extent should this battle be fought?"

"Rollover asked."

Sengoku did some mental calculations and concluded that with the current strength of Sakazuki's forces and the soldiers mobilized by Marineford, they could win even if two Yonko-level pirate crews and some bandit crews just joining in.

Unless three Yonko-level pirate crews arrive, it's impossible to withstand the Navy's attack.

If it's a Yonko-level pirate crew, then we should take the opportunity to seize more territory in the New World as a foundation for future attacks. If it's two, then you and Sakazuki should try to cripple their forces. If it's three, then hold the base and don't lose it. I will send more generals over depending on the situation.

Raleigh nodded; this time he knew where the Navy's bottom line was.

No matter how much commotion they cause in the New World, as long as they can guarantee the minimum standard and not lose the bases currently controlled by the Navy, that's fine.

That makes things simple; Raleigh has a lot to do.

The atmosphere in the conference room at the naval base in the new world was somewhat heavy.

Sakazuki carefully read the intelligence report in his hand, which detailed the movements of pirates in the New World.

Below him were various generals, all awaiting Sakazuki's orders.

"Reporting to Admiral Sakazuki, our naval soldiers engaged in a small-scale battle with members of the Beasts Pirates. Our soldiers suffered 7 dead, 38 seriously wounded, and 44 pirates eliminated."

The messenger hurriedly pushed open the door and spoke to Sakazuki's position.

Upon hearing this, Sakazuki did not blame the messenger for his rashness, but instead planted the small flag symbolizing the navy in the place the messenger had mentioned.

This sand table was the first thing Sakazuki did after he arrived; he only set it up because Raleigh told him to.

But I must say, it's very useful.

This sand table clearly marks the surrounding naval and pirate forces, and the results of every battle are transmitted back immediately and integrated with the sand table.

Currently, the attacks are still small-scale and probing. Sakazuki's response is to fight fire with fire. For those pirates that have been thoroughly investigated and found to be not lying in ambush, the Navy will strike hard to eliminate as many opponents as possible before the battle begins.

"Pass down the order: reinforce this area with 300 men, and send in a lieutenant general. I want this position to be held firmly."

Even a large-scale pirate attack would take at least two hours to delay them.

Sakazuki's gaze swept over the generals below.

Fire Mountain, Doberman, Ghost Spider, and the others stood up without hesitation and began to speak to Sakazuki:

"General Sakazuki, I request to be assigned to this position and hold it. I guarantee the position will not fall under my control. If it does fall, I will die before it does."

Most of them actively chose Sakazuki because they were also hawks in the Navy, so they were not afraid of so-called pirate attacks at all.

Even if the location designated by Sakazuki might be subjected to a fierce attack by pirates, they would not be afraid in the slightest.

Sakazuki was pleased to see the generals eagerly requesting to participate in combat.

"Doberman, you're in charge of this position. Remember, once the fighting starts, even in the worst-case scenario, you must hold out for at least two hours. During that time, I won't be sending any reinforcements."

Sakazuki then made arrangements for other generals.

After all the generals were in place, Sakazuki made a second adjustment to the small flags on the sand table.

It is foreseeable that Sakazuki will most likely not leave this conference room.

"What did the headquarters say?"

Sakazuki sat in the main seat, rubbing his temples, and asked.

"Reporting to Admiral Sakazuki, headquarters has agreed to the reinforcement plan, and they have already dispatched Admiral Raleigh and thirty warships, totaling five thousand naval personnel, as the first batch of reinforcements. Fleet Admiral Sengoku will add more as needed."

A flicker of surprise crossed Sakazuki's eyes. He had originally thought Borsalino would be sent, but it turned out to be Raleigh, who was guarding headquarters.

He definitely preferred Raleigh to Borsalino, because Raleigh was very similar to him in both personality and strength, and cooperating with him would reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Okay, how much longer until Raleigh arrives?

Admiral Raleigh has contacted our operations center, and according to the nautical charts, he should arrive at our naval base in five days.

The base operations center calculated the time based on normal sailing time, while Raleigh and his crew arrived at full speed, so their arrival time was definitely faster than Sakazuki had anticipated. Of course, this kind of information could not be hidden, and since Sakazuki knew it, it naturally meant that the pirates also knew it.

Therefore, if the pirates were to launch an attack, they would definitely choose to launch a fierce assault before Raleigh's reinforcements arrive.

"Send the order to all generals to reinforce the fortifications. We must build an impregnable base before Raleigh arrives."

Sakazuki is not arrogant at all. He may look down on the strength of pirates, but that doesn't mean he would take risks.

He fears none of the Three Sovereigns; he will attack anyone who dares to come. However, he is very likely to be defeated if there are two or more of the Three Sovereigns.

Given the current strength of the navy, there is no need for him to take this risk!

On the high seas, dark clouds gathered, constantly churning and swirling in the sky, forming all sorts of shapes. Far from the naval base, small-scale battles broke out one after another.

As a small island within the territory of the Beasts Pirates, the shouts of battle were now deafening.

Roar! ! !

The roar from the ancient dragons filled the marines and pirates present with fear.

A multi-meter-tall Allosaurus was invincible on the battlefield; its tail, head, and sharp claws made it an unparalleled killing machine.

Each attack resulted in the deaths of numerous pirate crew members.

Blood paved a crimson path behind him, and countless naval soldiers followed him to expand their gains.

In just a quarter of an hour, the originally evenly matched battlefield was transformed into a scene where the navy was suppressing the pirates thanks to his efforts.

"You're asking for it!!!"

A sound no less powerful than a dragon's roar rang out from afar.

With a series of booming sounds, a massive body, as large as a small mountain, appeared in Drake's eyes.

Jack the Drought, one of the Three Disasters of the Beasts Pirates.

Drake glanced at the mammoths charging towards him in the distance, his mind flashing through Jack's file.

Seeing the silver gleam on the curved ivory, Drake rushed forward without thinking.

Even as the earth trembled, the two behemoths showed no intention of backing down.

All the naval soldiers and pirates spontaneously made way for the two already enraged behemoths to fight.

Drake's claws were covered in a dense layer of Armament Haki, and Jack opposite him was doing the same, covering his tusks with Armament Haki.

boom!

A powerful shockwave suddenly swept outwards from the point of impact, raising clouds of dust.

For about half a minute after the collision ended, both of them were in a state of mental blankness due to the force of the impact.

However, both sides were seasoned veterans and quickly regained their composure.

Both sides exerted their strength again, each wanting to knock the other over.

A most primal and violent physical battle began to clash on this small island.

boom!!!

With each clash, both sides used their most proficient attack methods and techniques.

Head, sharp claws, fangs, etc.

They unleashed all their attacks on the other side.

The ground began to crack continuously, and blood from both sides splattered, staining the soil of the battleground red.

"Go, Major General Drake!"

Since both are tanky tanks with high attack and defense, even though Drake is slightly weaker than Jack, he can't be defeated in a short time, so the surrounding marines are not worried.

Aside from chanting slogans for Drake, their remaining attention was focused on the pirates opposite them. "Brothers, killing one is enough, killing two is a bonus!"

Holding this belief,

The girls from Haichemen, like an invincible force, risked their lives to save each other.

The pirates were completely stunned by the attack; they had never seen such a terrifying opponent.

Pirates are pirates, even those under the banner of the Three Emperors.

When facing pirates or civilians weaker than themselves, they will show enough cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, but when facing the Navy stronger than themselves, they will start to quietly conserve their strength.

Whenever they encounter a tough opponent, they will voluntarily give up and let others take over the task.

In the past, the Three Disasters or the Flying Six would have helped them get started, but now even Jack, one of the Three Disasters, is tied up, leaving them to fend for themselves. As a result, the pirates have sacrificed their teammates to save their own lives.

The New World, another island of the Beasts Pirates.

Unlike Jack's island, where they were engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the enemy that Jhin was facing was far more formidable.

Most of the pirates formed a circle, with those who were more skilled in using Armament Haki at the very innermost part, extending outwards in layers.

Because they only have two goals.

To be precise, one of them wasn't even human.

On the ground, a tall figure was fighting pirates with a jet-black sword, his eagle-like eyes fixed on the pirates' movements.

His sword was a deadly weapon, and few pirates could withstand his slaughter.

Even bullets fired by pirates on the outskirts of the islands could be cleaved in two by his sword.

In the sky, Enel, wielding his mithril trident and crackling with lightning, was locked in a fierce battle with a pterosaur engulfed in flames.

Jin was clearly getting anxious, trying to shake off Enel's blockade, but he couldn't get rid of him at all.

All he could do was watch as the pacifist Mihawk slaughtered his way down below.

"Why are you still angry? Look how good the pacifists I brought are. They're almost never hurt and never make any mistakes."

boom!

Mihawk's eyes turned crimson, and he unleashed a laser beam at the densely packed area of ​​pirates. Vast numbers of pirates were obliterated in the explosion, leaving no trace of their bodies. Even King couldn't suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill him!!!"
