Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Back when Shark Star brought those few times, their royal family won over the Naga with their strength!

Now that his son Shark Star has married her, and Naga, who has already inherited the legacy of the Naga Queen, is indeed more suitable for the throne than Shark Star.

What's even more remarkable is that the other party has a good character and is willing to assist Shark Star in managing Fishman Island, without being greedy for power at all.

"Father, you flatter me!" Naga said modestly. "Although we can't find any Innovators on Fishman Island, I believe that following the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely not be a bad thing!"

After saying that, she winked at the white-bearded girl, showing the mischievousness of a young girl.

"Gurararara... Our Whitebeard Pirates are a force from the old era. As you said, if the Innovators want to achieve something, we old-era forces are all obstacles to them. Following us... aren't you afraid of leading Fishman Island into utter ruin?" Whitebeard asked with a smile.

“To be honest, we wouldn’t make such a big bet if we were ordinary people! After all, Fishman Island doesn’t just belong to us, it belongs to all the fishmen! But… as beings who can know the future, Mr. Reina and Mrs. Shirley can be our guiding lights!” Naga said confidently.

Whitebeard nodded and said, "You're right! But to place your fate in the hands of these so-called futures and others... is the act of the weak! Only by becoming strong can you take the initiative when facing real upheavals!"

“Yes, Father!” Naga replied, her smile fading.

She knew that Whitebeard wasn't criticizing her, but reminding her not to be arrogant. She was carrying the weight of her entire tribe's fate, not just that of any one person! Only by making the tribe strong could she avoid being ignored and have a voice in the future.

Chapter 624 Akainu's Plan

"What did you say? Start a war with the Whitebeard Pirates now?" At Marine Headquarters, Chief of Staff Tsuru stared in shock at Fleet Admiral Akainu and asked, "What exactly are you planning to do?"

"It's obvious! Now that the Seven Warlords of the Sea have been abolished, and Kaido's Beasts Pirates and Charlotte Linlin's Big Mom Pirates have been defeated, this is the best time to strike at the Whitebeard Pirates!" Akainu said calmly, a cigar dangling from his lips. "Moreover, he's currently on Fishman Island. While the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates is here, they've diverted a significant amount of their forces to Crescent Moon Island and Amazon Lily!"

"But do you know what it means to attack the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, at this time?" Vice Admiral Tsuru asked, seeing that Akainu was not acting impulsively.

"Of course... the world is in turmoil because of Kaido and Big Mom's defeat, so... why don't we take advantage of this opportunity? I think Whitebeard wouldn't expect us to attack them!" Akainu said, a glint in his eyes.

“But… they’re on Fishman Island, the seabed is the domain of the fishmen!” Vice Admiral Tsuru said, frowning.

She had a feeling that Akainu's actions this time were not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather something he had been planning for a long time.

But if even she, as the chief strategist, didn't know about this...

"Don't worry!" Sure enough, Akainu's lips curled up slightly as he said, "The forces that were previously dispatched to capture the Seven Warlords have all quietly turned around and headed towards Amazon Lily!"

"What?" Vice Admiral Tsuru was taken aback. Looking at Akainu, her brain began to work frantically!

"Capturing the Seven Warlords... is just a pretext! So you can lure the Whitebeard Pirates to their rescue? Then you can seize the opportunity to surround a portion of their forces, drawing the Whitebeard Pirates to their aid, only to wipe them out in one fell swoop!? Why are you so sure that if the Seven Warlords are attacked, the Whitebeard Pirates will come to their aid? Wait... I see... that's why you attacked Fishman Island, even though Jinbe had long been stripped of his title as one of the Seven Warlords, you still used Jinbe as a pretext to threaten Fishman Island!" Vice Admiral Tsuru asked after a moment of contemplation.

"As expected of the chief strategist! Vice Admiral Tsuru is right!" Akainu clapped his hands and said, "The Seven Warlords of the Sea, this organization that originally belonged to the World Government, has long been thoroughly understood by the Whitebeard Pirates! So I took advantage of the World Government's cancellation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to launch an attack on them!"

"Faced with the Navy's overwhelming advance, they will inevitably seek help from the Whitebeard Pirates behind them! Even if they don't, Fishman Island is Whitebeard Pirates' territory, so they will definitely come! In that case... my plan will be at least half successful! Now that they have divided their forces to rescue Kuja, then... as long as I use these people as bait, Whitebeard will definitely fall for it!"

Seeing Akainu's smug look, Vice Admiral Tsuru frowned slightly and said, "The Whitebeard Pirates are not so easy to deal with!"

Despite saying that, she had to admit that Akainu's plan was truly perfect, and most importantly... he, the chief strategist, was completely unaware of such a major event!

It seems that the World Government helped Akainu behind the scenes this time, otherwise such a large-scale military operation plan could not have been kept from her, the Chief of Staff of the entire army!

"Don't worry, this plan will be foolproof!" Akainu said confidently.

"Then why did you call me here? To show off to this old woman?" Lieutenant General Tsuru stood up, sneered, and walked straight out of the office.

Akainu, with a cigar in his mouth, watched Vice Admiral Tsuru leave without saying a word.

"Your era... is coming to an end!" After a long pause, Akainu, enveloped in smoke, took a deep drag on his cigar and said softly.

On the other hand, after resolving the trouble with Amazon Lily of the Nine-Headed Serpent, Sachi led his men toward Fishman Island. They needed to coat the ship on the nearest island before diving to the seabed to rendezvous with the Moby Dick.

"Sachi, what new recipe are you working on this time?" Laco asked with a mischievous grin as he entered the restaurant and addressed Sachi, who was busy in the kitchen.

"Oh, Lacjo, hurry up and get out of here, don't cause any trouble. I'm thinking about what food to prepare for Dad's birthday this year! Reina told me about an interesting way of cooking, and I'm planning to try it!" Sachi said to his companion with a smile.

"Hahaha... I don't mind being a tool. If you can do it, I can give it a try!" Lakyo said with a smile, revealing his purpose.

Sachi's culinary skills are well-known; even when he experiments with new dishes, they never taste too bad.

Moreover, as the captain, Sachi rarely cooks seriously anymore, except for out of interest and to make food for his father.

Previously, when going on adventures aboard the Moby Dick, Sachi, as the head chef, would occasionally cook. However, since Crescent Island became mobile, Sachi basically stopped cooking, as there are plenty of chefs on Crescent Island who can satisfy everyone's daily needs.

"Okay, okay~ I know, but you can't mess things up before I finish making it!" Sachi replied helplessly.

"Boom~ Boom boom~"

But at that moment, a series of explosions startled both of them.

“Looks like our tasting will have to wait a bit!” Laco said softly as he stood up.

As pirates, they would be no strangers to the sound of exploding cannonballs, so it was obvious that either they had encountered an enemy or something had happened.

"Captain Sachi... Uh... Captain Laco! It's bad! We're surrounded by the Marines!" Just then, a pirate rushed in and reported loudly to Sachi.

"The Navy? The Navy that retreated from Amazon Lily? Why are they here? Did they deliberately ambush us here because they were defeated?" Sachi asked in surprise as he walked outside.

He really didn't expect it to be the Navy, after all, they had just finished fighting the Navy, and the other side shouldn't be here!

"I don't know... but judging from the number of warships, there are more than the navy that surrounded Amazon Lily before!" a pirate member following behind Sachi whispered.

“Something’s not right! They seem to be… coming for us?” Laqué frowned and said.

If the enemy's numbers are greater than those surrounding Amazon Lily, there are only two possibilities: either the navy is targeting them and deliberately waiting for them here.

Another possibility is that the navy, seeing their intervention, also dispatched reinforcements, which happened to meet them here.

However, Laco didn't believe things could be such a coincidence. After all, their target was Fishman Island, and if the other side were heading to Amazon Lily from Marine Headquarters, they wouldn't be taking this route.

Chapter 625 Surrounded

“What’s the situation now?” Sachi asked, frowning, as he came ashore on the deck.

Although there were many naval warships around them, strangely, the other side did not make a move, seemingly only intending to surround them and not to start a war.

"It seems the other side doesn't want to clash with us either; they must have just run into us by chance!" Jin Guduo said with a light laugh.

Given the current status and prestige of the Whitebeard Pirates, it's quite normal that the Navy would hesitate to act against them.

But Sachi and Laqué, who followed behind, thought differently.

The other side is the navy!

If the other party were just a pirate crew, they might be quite wary of the Whitebeard Pirates. But the other party is the Navy, the strongest force on the sea, without exception!

Even a small branch office, if it had a strong-willed commander, would dare to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates, let alone all these warships here. He didn't believe that the commanders of these warships would be afraid of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"No, they don't want to clash with us... they want to surround us! Look, every ship that tries to leave is blocked by them!" Laco pointed at the pirate ship that was forced back by the Navy, his face darkening as he spoke.

"What exactly do they want?" Sachi was a little confused. These navy men didn't want to fight them, but they wouldn't let them leave either. It was really inexplicable.

"Sachi, what do we do now? Should we force our way out?" After Sachi and Lakyo explained, Jingudo also noticed the strangeness of the situation and asked.

"Let's give it a try!" Sachi said after a moment's thought.

Continuing this stalemate is not a solution, so Sachi decided to try breaking out first.

However, after a battle, they were unable to break through the navy's defenses.

"Damn it... what are these marines trying to do?" Rakuyo, whose arm was bandaged, started to get agitated.

In the battle just now, they hit a point and tried to break out, but they were forced back by the navy.

Moreover, once they retreated, the navy did not pursue them, showing no intention of exterminating them, which made them even more confused.

With the current strength of the navy, although eliminating them would come at a cost, it would definitely be within a tolerable range.

“Their purpose… may not be simple!” At this moment, Sachi also walked over and said.

Once they retreated, the navy would not pursue them, so after their attempt to break out failed, Sachi decisively issued a retreat order. Now they were all surrounded by the navy and had no way to escape.

"Do you already know their purpose?" Jingudo asked Sachi.

He also had injuries. As the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, he always took the lead in battle and would never hide behind his brothers.

Sachi shook his head and said, "No, I don't know yet, but I can sense that the Navy's purpose... is probably not simple!"

"Captain! Captain Doma and the others are here!" At this moment, a member ran over and shouted to Sachi.

"Bring them here!" Sachi said immediately upon hearing this.

Captain Doma is one of the captains under the Whitebeard Pirates. His most distinctive feature is that he always has a monkey with him, and the monkey is skilled with a pistol and often helps Doma to ambush his opponents.

"Captain Sachi, Captain Lakyo, Captain Jingudo..." After Doma and the others arrived, they immediately greeted the captains.

They knew each other quite well.

"Doma, why aren't you on your own ships at this time? What are you doing here?" Laco asked in surprise when he saw that several captains had come over.

"What's going on with the Navy? Things are a bit strange right now, so we came to ask what happened and why the Navy is blocking us from leaving but not attacking us!" Before Doma could even speak, the impatient Rai-Qing Makugai asked directly.

Rai-Qing Makugai is one of the captains under the Whitebeard Pirates. Rai-Qing is his nickname because he has a distinctive "lightning" beard and his sword is wrapped with lightning bolts. In addition, he has an impatient personality, so he got this nickname.

Sachi shook his head and said, "We're discussing it right now! We don't know what they're up to; it seems they just want to trap us here!"

"This is really troublesome. If you ask me, we should just fight our way out and do whatever it takes! I don't believe they can wipe us all out here!" Makugay said angrily.

The navy's lineup this time is quite strong, with more than a dozen warships, and judging from the previous exchange, there are quite a few vice admirals involved.

“Idiot, look how many marines are around us! It’s not impossible for them to wipe us out. They’re probably afraid of the consequences if they eliminate us. After all, if Dad finds out, he’ll definitely not let them get away with it!” Doma stepped forward and said.

“But… if they’re afraid of Father, they should just let us leave! What’s the point of surrounding us here? Father is on Fishman Island! If Father finds out about us and brings his men to kill us, they’re in big trouble!” Captain Aiboita said with a light laugh.

Aiboita is now a captain under the Whitebeard Pirates, but unlike Doma and the others, he did not lead his crew to join the Whitebeard Pirates.

Because he was originally a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, but later formed his own pirate ship and became its captain, both he and his pirate crew can be considered part of the Whitebeard Pirates.

This situation is not an exception, but rather something that Whitebeard acknowledged and permitted.

Just like Witch Whitey Bay, she couldn't even get into the combat team on the ship, so she simply went out and formed her own pirate crew. Now she is also the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, wandering the New World.

Whitey Bay joined the crew quite early, but Whitebeard refused to let her join, arguing that fighting was a man's job and that no woman was allowed to join the combat team. Otherwise, she would probably be one of the captains now.

"Wait... what did you just say?" Just as Aboita finished speaking, Sachi seemed to realize something, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"What...what? I didn't say anything?" Aiboita was stunned, looking at Sachi's expression, he was still a little confused.

“Sachi…did you sense something?” Lakyo asked, looking at Sachi who was covered in sweat.

"Ah~ I do have a guess, but if my guess is true, then we're in big trouble!" Sachi had calmed down a bit by this point, and while thinking about his guess, he replied, "Maybe... the Navy wants to use us as bait... to catch Big Daddy, this big fish!"
