Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"It's too late! Hurry, Vivi! That bird is dying. I'll take you there and stop the rebels!" Usopp said, reaching out to Princess Vivi.

"That bird?" Princess Vivi was taken aback and looked at Usopp in surprise.

On the ship, everyone treated Karu like a partner and never called him a bird.

“Usopp…show me your proof!” Princess Vivi looked at Usopp and said in a deep voice.

When they first encountered Mr. 2, they had already taken precautions, not only marking his left arm but also bandaging it.

Hearing Vivi's words, Usopp chuckled, revealing the bandage on his left arm, and said, "Hey...hey...you don't suspect me, do you?"

Princess Vivi was taken aback by Usopp's actions; that wasn't how they had agreed to it!

"Gah!!" Upon seeing Usopp's actions, Karu, who was lying on the ground, immediately realized that the Usopp in front of him was not the real one. So he struggled to get up from the ground, carried Princess Vivi, and ran towards Albana.

Upon seeing Princess Vivi escape, Usopp revealed his true colors, proving he was indeed Mr. 2, the transvestite.

After catching up with Usopp, he easily defeated him, so he rushed towards Princess Vivi first.

Although Karu escaped with Princess Vivi, Mr. 2 was hot on their heels. The south gate of Albana ahead of them was a long staircase, and if they went that way, Mr. 2 would definitely catch up with them.

"Karu, put me down. I'll fight him to the death. Your body can't hold on much longer!" Princess Vivi said softly, stroking Karu.

"Gah!!" However, Karu did not slow down, but instead accelerated his sprint. However, he was not rushing towards the south gate, but towards the cliff next to him.

"What? That duck can't actually run up there, can it?" Mr. 2 said in disbelief, looking at the sheer cliff outside Albana.

However, Karu, with his unwavering belief, managed to bring Princess Vivi up to the city wall.

"Don't be so smug, you stinky duck! Hand over the princess now!" Seeing this, Mr. 2 actually imitated Karu and rushed up the cliff, shouting as he ran, "There's nothing a transvestite can't do! Transvestite martial arts are the crystallization of blood, sweat, and tears!"

"Oh no!" Princess Vivi, who had just climbed onto the city wall, saw Mr. 2 rushing up as well. She bent down and asked Karu, "Karu, can you cross this battlefield to get to the palace? We need to find Jaka or the chief right now!"

Before them stood the king's army and the rebel army locked in battle.

"Gah!" Karu roared, then charged into the battlefield with Princess Vivi in ​​his arms.

"I've caught up with you! You stinky duck!" Just as Mr. 2 charged forward, Karu, who was traversing the battlefield, was also hit by a stray bullet. Karu, who was already at his limit, immediately fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

"Didn't I say... you're useless? You stinky duck... hahaha... who told you to ruin my good time!" Mr. 2 rushed towards Princess Vivi and Karu who had fallen to the ground.

"Caw... caw caw..." Karu flapped his wings and kept calling out to Princess Vivi.

“I know… but Karu…” Princess Vivi said, fighting back tears, “If I run away… what will you do!”

"Caw...caw caw..." Karu flapped its wings vigorously, as if telling Princess Vivi not to worry about it and to leave quickly.

"Go to hell, you stinky duck!" At this moment, Mr. 2 arrived and kicked Karu.

"Gah!"

"Gah!"

Suddenly, two figures appeared and crashed into Mr. 2, interrupting his attack and sending him flying.

"Who is it?" Mr. 2 roared angrily as he got up from the ground.

Two fast runners suddenly appeared in front of Karu; they were the ones who had attacked Mr. 2 and saved Captain Karu.

Karu is the captain of the Fastest Legion, an animal unique to Abalastan.

"Karu, well done! You're a true man!" Following behind the fast runner was the chef Sanji. After praising Karu, he turned to Vivi and asked, "Vivi, is there still a chance to stop the rebels?"

"Gah!" Karu stretched out his wings and cried out at Sanji.

"Sanji!" Vivi exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Sanji appear.

"Alright, you guys can step back now. I'll take care of this transvestite!" Sanji said with a slight smile.

"Then I'll leave Karu to you! Take good care of him for me!" Princess Vivi said to the two fast runners beside her.

"Gah~~"

After receiving a quick reply that he could run fast, Vivi glanced at Sanji again and then ran towards the palace.

Prior to this, Jaka had received news of intruders in the palace and had already returned to the palace to capture them.

Meanwhile, Luffy, who had been wandering around the palace for half a day without encountering Crocodile, Robin, or even the king, was constantly running away from the royal army.

"Who are you? Why are you invading the palace?" Jakka, who had rushed back from outside, found Luffy immediately.

Although he heard that there were two intruders, the third one was nowhere to be found, so now he could only choose to take down Luffy first.

"My name is Luffy, and I'm a pirate! I'm looking for Crocodile right now. Do you know where he is? Or the king, you can do that too!" Luffy replied earnestly.

"Pirates?" Jakka frowned upon hearing this. Ever since he learned of Crocodile's conspiracy, he had developed a dislike for pirates.

Chapter 295 Ace and Garp

"So, pirate... state your purpose, why did you come to the palace!?" Jakka looked at Luffy, who seemed a bit idiotic, and asked seriously.

"What? Didn't I just tell you? I'm here to find Crocodile and the King!" Luffy pouted, looking at him like he was an idiot, and said.

Jakka was almost driven mad by Luffy.

"Are you deaf? I'm asking you why you're looking for them!" Jaka suppressed his anger and asked again.

"Of course, it's to knock him out! As for the king... Vivi sent me to find him!" Luffy said with a matter-of-fact expression.

"Weiwei? Are you referring to Princess Nefertari Vivi?" Jaka asked in surprise.

"What what kind of profit? I don't know, but Vivi is indeed a princess!" Luffy nodded and said.

If someone else had said this, Jakka might have been more skeptical, but with Luffy... he figured that with Luffy's intelligence, he shouldn't be lying.

"The king is not in the kingdom, and Crocodile is not here either!" Jakka shook his head and said to Luffy.

"What? The king isn't in the palace? Where did he go? Seriously, does he even know what's going on? Crocodile is looking for him!" Luffy said, looking helpless as if he couldn't do anything about the king.

Jakar's lips twitched involuntarily. He believed that if the king were here, he would never want to be spoken to like that by the person in front of him.

On a rooftop not far away, listening to Luffy and Jaka's conversation, Aokiji frowned slightly. However, he didn't completely believe Jaka's words. In his opinion, it was very likely that the king had sensed something was wrong and had gone into hiding.

On the other side, Ace, who was fighting outside the city, was panting heavily as he looked at his opponents. Among them were not only those who possessed Haki, but also some strangely powerful ability users. If it weren't for Reina's training over the past three years, Ace would probably have been defeated by now.

"Firefly Fire Daruma!" Faced with the Blackbeard Pirates' siege, Ace immediately unleashed numerous small, bluish-green flames from his body, like fireflies dancing in the sky.

"Didn't we already try it? This move is useless! Fire Fist!" A man completely shrouded in a black cloak chuckled and unleashed a burst of flames with his fist, completely engulfing Ace's Firefly Daruma.

"Hmph! Whether it works or not is not up to you! Blazing Flame - Fire Daruma!" With Ace's movement, all the greenish-blue light spots exploded, forming a giant wave of fire that knocked everyone in the Blackbeard Pirates to the ground.

"I already know your ability, it's copying other people's abilities, right?" Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ace rushed directly towards the cloaked man and punched him with his fist covered in Armament Haki.

"So what if you see through us? You think you can escape from us?" The cloaked man's eyes, hidden in his cloak, suddenly turned red, and a pair of tomoe appeared in his eye sockets. He then used his arm to block Ace's attack.

"Sharingan? That's impossible!" Ace exclaimed in disbelief.

"Nothing is impossible!" The man in the black cloak, Gamenio, punched Ace in the stomach, sending him flying a distance. He chuckled and said, "Now, do you still think you're guaranteed to win?"

"The vice-captain's Sharingan? What's your relationship with the vice-captain? Or... have you copied his abilities too?" Ace wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up to ask.

"Pretty clever~ But as for the answer... you'll have to find it yourself!" Gamenio chuckled and said.

Just as Ace was about to say something, he suddenly sensed a murderous aura and quickly ducked to avoid a burning scimitar.

"Kid... don't be careless, you're not fighting alone anymore!" Demon hunter Idar appeared beside Ace and said with a light laugh.

"Hey, hey... go easy on him, don't break him, the captain still needs this guy!" On the other side, another man who had been hiding under a cloak also lifted his cloak and said with a light laugh.

This person was none other than Kadreik, the user of the Transformation Fruit, who had fought Reina back then.

He and Gameño should have died by Reina's sword back then, but for some reason, they have reappeared now.

“Zehahaha… Kadlec is right, now is not the time to kill him. A living Whitebeard 2nd Division Commander is better than a dead one!” Blackbeard Teach said with a loud laugh.

"You want to capture me alive? Let's see if you have the ability! Flame Ring - Pillar of Fire!" Ace began to select his equipment, and a pillar of fire shot straight towards Teach.

"Hahahaha... With so many of us, do you really think you have a chance to escape?" Champion Zizas Bazars ambushed Ace from behind, throwing a punch at him.

"Oh!"

A figure appeared behind Ace and sent Zizas Bazars flying with a single punch.

"navy?"

Apart from Teach, the rest of the Blackbeard Pirates were startled by the sudden appearance of the Marines.

"It's you? Garp!?" Teach exclaimed in surprise when he saw Garp wearing a cloak of justice.

"What? You seem surprised to see me?" Garp slowly walked to Ace's side and asked.

"Old...old man? What are you doing here?" Ace was indeed very surprised; he hadn't expected to run into Garp here.

"Hahaha... If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have been bullied? Speaking of which... shouldn't you have something to say to me? Hmm?"

"Bang!" Garp said, and punched Ace in the head.

"Ouch~~ It hurts, it hurts~~" Ace clutched his head, tears welling up in his eyes from the pain.

Actually, he was just using the pain from earlier to let the tears come out. Garp's words, "If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have been bullied?" had deeply moved him.

"What? The second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates has actually defected to the Navy?" The demon hunter Idar teased with a smile.

Although Garp is very famous, he doesn't think they will lose.

Sure enough, upon hearing the other party's words, Ace's expression changed, and he said to Garp, "Old man, this is my battle, don't interfere! Besides, I'm a pirate now, and we're on opposing sides!"

"boom!"

Ace had barely finished speaking when he was punched by Garp again, this time with real force.

"You brat~ You're lecturing me now? I'm a Marine, isn't it normal for me to capture pirates? What? You think you can tell me what to do?" Garp said to Ace with a displeased expression.

Faced with the unreasonable Garp, not to mention Ace, even the Blackbeard Pirates were speechless.

It's fine if you capture pirates, but aren't you surrounded by members of the world's number one pirate crew? Isn't this blatant double standard a bit much?

They didn't know Garp's character. Otherwise, let alone Ace, even his superior Sengoku wouldn't be able to order him to do something if he didn't want to.

Even those in the World Government, including the Celestial Dragons, know that the Navy has a powerful figure, but they just ignore him. If it weren't for Garp's reputation as a Navy hero, he would probably have been targeted by the Five Elders and the World Government long ago.

Of course, Sengoku's protection of Garp is also a factor, because Sengoku knows that as long as Garp is there, the Navy will have one more top-tier combatant, and the two have been friends for decades.

"Hahahaha... Marine hero Garp! If the world knew that you, as a Marine, were secretly helping the Pirate King Roger raise his child, even Sengoku wouldn't be able to protect you, would he?" Teach suddenly laughed loudly when he saw Garp's unrestrained manner.

His words caused Garp and Ace to change color simultaneously, and even his companions looked at Teach with suspicion and uncertainty.
