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

After crossing back from Upside Down Mountain, they robbed almost every ship they could find.

At first, they only had a small sailboat, but gradually they managed to acquire the large ship they have now.

But Kollridge Roy's ambitions were much greater.

He knew that the wealthy East Sea had a lot of wealth, and he knew best about Kyrenia Island.

I'd been there once before, and that time I robbed them of 30 million Berries, but back then, Coleridge Roy's strength was far less than it is now.

He was chased and fled in panic by the then-naval captain.

Kollridge Roy doesn't care about the Navy Captain at all. The reason he hasn't killed all the Navy personnel is because his goal is to rob them quickly.

Then they gathered their forces, built a large ship, and once again ventured into the Grand Line.

He didn't want to play pirate house in the East Blue, so he left the East Blue as quickly as possible after completing his objective.

-------------------------------------

The naval warships sailed at full speed all night and finally arrived at dawn.

I saw the ship that wasn't flying a pirate flag.

Without even looking, I knew it was that group of fleeing pirates.

At this moment, through the telescope, one can clearly see one grinning pirate after another jumping off the ship and running onto the beach.

"Reporting, Major Flying Squirrel, a pirate ship has been spotted ahead!"

Wearing a Navy Justice Cloak, the flying squirrel immediately went to the deck, looking at the pirate ship that was about to dock at the shore.

The flying squirrel calmly issued the order.

"Order: Warships, full speed ahead! Ram the pirate ship immediately! I want to leave these pirates with nowhere to escape!"

"Order! All naval personnel, prepare your weapons! We will disembark for hand-to-hand combat!"

"Yes, sir!"

One by one, the naval soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, were already itching to draw their weapons.

They are the most ordinary foundation, yet also the most important force in upholding justice.

Compared to the various righteous actions of the higher-ups, their hearts are much simpler: to kill pirates.

Most of them were poor survivors of the pirate rampage, earning meager wages and working the hardest jobs.

But they had no regrets, because this was their understanding of justice.

Meanwhile, the few pirates left on the pirate ship on lookout duty also noticed the arrival of the warship.

They issued an immediate warning, and the sharp whistles stopped the pirates rushing towards the village.

The one-eyed man from last night walked over now, carrying a large machete, and asked his captain:

"Boss, those marines are chasing us again. Should we go back and kill them?"

He then made a gesture as if cutting his own throat, making the scars on his face look particularly gruesome.

A flash of anger also appeared in Kollridge Roy's eyes:

"Those damn navy guys, we only fought them last time because we didn't intend to kill them. They really think we're afraid of them?"

"Men, let's go back and wipe out those navy guys first. And while we're at it, let's seize their warships."

"After dealing with the navy, we'll take this island and then sail to the Grand Line."

The leader's words greatly excited the pirates.

Whether they were old subordinates returning from the Grand Line or newly recruited members, they all witnessed Coleridge Roy's strength during their raids.

They believed that no one in the East China Sea could defeat Kollridge Roy, and besides, it would be cool to boast about seizing a warship.

The flying squirrel on the warship was unaware of the changes in the pirates' minds; he simply stared coldly at the island.

He had already sentenced these pirates to death in his mind.

The warship accelerated and crashed straight into the already docked pirate ship.

Seeing this, how could Koorridge Roy not know about the Navy's plan?

He, who had been calm, suddenly flew into a rage:

"Damn the navy, they're cutting off our retreat!"

"I will kill everyone today, including everyone on this island!"

The warship, traveling at an extremely high speed, crashed heavily into the pirate ship with unstoppable force.

boom!

A tremendous sound echoed across the sea as the pirate ship was cleaved in two by the warship's ramming horn.

The pirates who remained on the upper deck were thrown off and disappeared in the violent impact.

The naval soldiers were already prepared; they gripped the railing tightly and calmly dealt with the recoil after the impact.

"Alright... the pirates' escape route has been cut off. The next step is to send them on their way."

Major Flying Squirrel stood on the deck, drew his saber, and shouted:

"For justice!"

The naval soldiers quickly lined up in neat rows, drew their gleaming sabers, and roared in unison:

"For justice!"

After ramming the pirate ship, the warship did not stop, but quickly moved ashore.

The flying squirrel stared coldly at the pirates ahead, its eyes filled with intense hatred.

If Raleigh hadn't arranged for an accelerated pursuit, these pirates might already be in town, slaughtering civilians.

"attack!"

The flying squirrel couldn't wait for the ship to dock. He took the lead and jumped off the deck, swimming vigorously towards the beach.

The brave naval soldiers, like flying squirrels, swiftly swam towards the island.

Kollridge Roy sensed something was amiss; the navy before him seemed far more elite than any he had encountered before.

The navy personnel I encountered before, while not exactly cowardly, were certainly not as resolute and decisive as this one.

He didn't know what caused it, but Kollridge Roy had a feeling of unease in his heart.

"Hey, you guys, go and grab a few civilians from the town behind us right now."

"Their navy doesn't dare let us harm civilians; this tactic always works against the navy."

While gathering his men, Corridge Roy gave orders to a few of the faster pirates.

Go to the town behind us and capture a few civilians to act as protective charms.

On the warship, Raleigh, wearing a cloak of justice, stood on the deck watching the pirates' movements.

The messenger on the watchtower was meticulously relaying Raleigh's orders.

The flying squirrels were well prepared and had several battle plans for situations like this.

The first option is appropriate at this time.

Raleigh looked at the pirates on the beach, their fangs already bared, and smiled contemptuously.

"No prisoners will be taken in this operation."

Although his voice wasn't loud, it was enough to reach the ears of every soldier in the navy.

Whether it's the naval soldiers already running on the beach or the naval soldiers on the ship ready to join the battle at any time.

Their eyes revealed determination, and each of them was prepared to face death.

Because this is the norm for Branch 133.

Although Raleigh didn't intervene, he still set many rules.

One of the rules is that when facing pirates, no prisoners should be taken.

Once the pirates' escape route is completely blocked, then everyone should disembark and engage in hand-to-hand combat with them.

After all, these are just pirates from the four seas, and compared to the Grand Line and the New World, they are already considered weak.

If you can't even beat an opponent of this caliber, then you've reached the limit of your achievements in this lifetime.

Because of his strong belief in Raleigh's strength, Momonga made a rule with Raleigh that Raleigh would never interfere in the battle unless Momonga's life was in danger.

Raleigh understood that facing life and death was indeed the fastest way to grow.

It just so happened that his original intention was also to slack off on the battlefield, which coincided with the flying squirrel's request, so he was happy to let the flying squirrel do what he wanted.

As long as the pirates weren't too powerful, he allowed Momonga to lead the Marines and fight the ruthless pirates in their own way.

Raleigh's job was simply to keep watch on the warship and secretly help soldiers who might be killed by pirates.

Because of his clandestine actions, the naval soldiers on the warship all thought that Raleigh was just a rich kid and didn't take his strength seriously.

"Ready!"

"Give him a good beating..."

Bang bang bang!
