Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Marco, with his eyes constantly drooping, exuded a powerful aura.

"Yes, Captain!" Everyone sprang into action, and the whale ship's speed suddenly increased, rapidly advancing towards the target island.

Meanwhile, Frank, who had been blockading the island, awaited Thatch's arrival. However, the cloaked figures could no longer hold out. Faced with the Whitebeard Pirates' blockade, they could no longer conceal their presence. Therefore, they planned to find an opportunity to break out. Once they left the island and reached the open sea, they would have free rein.

As for why the Whitebeard Pirates blockaded the island but didn't seem to be looking for them, they didn't know either. After all, they couldn't possibly imagine that the Whitebeard Pirates were lacking in combat strength.

But just the day before their operation, Sachi finally arrived at the island with the combat members of the Fourth Division, which made Frank breathe a long sigh of relief.

If people found out that the Whitebeard Pirates had blockaded the island, identified the culprit who attacked them, but the culprit still managed to escape, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates.

So when Sachs arrived, Frank's anxiety finally subsided.

However, before Frank could arrange for people to search for the murderers, the day after Thatch arrived, the cloaked man launched an attack on the back of the island, intending to seize the Whitebeard Pirates' ship and set sail.

"Grand Commander Frank, news has come from the other side of the island. The enemy has appeared and is fighting our people. They request reinforcements!" Upon hearing this, Frank exchanged a glance with Sachi.

“I’ll go take a look!” Sachi said with a slight smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble Captain Sachi!" Frank said with a smile.

"It's nothing!" Sachi waved his hand, then led the combatants of the Fourth Division away.

But not long after Sachi and his men left, and as Frank was waiting for good news from Sachi, an explosion suddenly came from not far from the port.

"What's going on?" Frank asked, frowning.

"I don't know, that seems to be the Black Gold Pirates' temporary base. I'll go take a look!" Frank's subordinate quickly followed up.

"Okay! Be careful!" Frank nodded and replied.

But after waiting for a while, no one returned to report, and a sense of foreboding immediately arose in Frank's mind.

"boom!"

Without hesitation, Frank immediately fired a signal flare, summoning all the Whitebeard Pirates members in the vicinity.

But after waiting for a while, only about thirty people came to gather.

"What happened?" Frank asked in astonishment.

But everyone looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

"Let's go check out the Black Gold Pirates' base where the explosion happened!" After a moment's thought, Frank immediately realized it was definitely related to the previous explosion, so he led his men directly toward the Black Gold Pirates' base.

However, when they arrived at the Black Gold Pirates' base, they found only corpses scattered all over the ground, and even the Black Gold Pirates' officers had been knocked to the ground.

"Hey... how are you? What happened?" Frank asked anxiously as he found the Black Gold Pirates' vice-captain lying on the ground.

"Be...be careful...the cloaked man..." The vice-captain of the Black Gold Pirates could only utter one sentence before fainting.

"Damn it... a diversionary tactic?" Frank, combining the words of the Black Gold Pirates' vice-captain, immediately had some guesses.

The person who did it was most likely the cloaked man who attacked the Whitebeard Pirates before. They deliberately made a commotion on the back of the island to lure the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates to the back of the island.

They themselves attacked the port, attempting to seize ships and escape.

"Boom!"

Just then, another explosion was heard not far away. Frank disregarded everything else and led his men to rush over.

"It's the captain of the Black Gold Pirates!"

When Frank ran over, they found that the captain of the Black Gold Pirates was being attacked.

As a pirate crew from the New World, the fact that they can still occupy a small island in this sea shows that the Black Gold Pirates are quite strong, at least much stronger than Frank.

When those cloaked figures were first discovered, it was the Black Gold Pirates who led the main force, and it was only because those cloaked figures had no will to fight that they were able to repel them.

So when Frank saw the captain of the Black Gold Pirates being besieged, he immediately sent his men to help.

However, when faced with the main force of the cloaked man, these Whitebeard Pirates members, who were not even considered combatants, were quickly defeated by the cloaked man.

"The Whitebeard Pirates... are nothing special!" one of the cloaked figures said with a hint of contempt after defeating everyone except the captain of the Black Gold Pirates and Frank.

"Oh? Is that so?" Frank was furious upon hearing this. He stepped forward and said with a light laugh, "Since you're not afraid of the Whitebeard Pirates, why hide yourselves? Take off your cloaks and tell us your names!"

Chapter 758 Frank's Plan

When Frank asked the question, the cloaked man did not actually remove his cloak.

Although they were confident they could kill the Black Gold Pirates' captain and Frank here, there were many people around, and if anyone revealed their appearance, they would never be able to live in peace again.

Because once the Whitebeard Pirates confirm their identities and issue a kill order, no matter where they flee, they will likely be unable to escape the Whitebeard Pirates' pursuit.

The world's number one pirate crew has this kind of intimidating power.

Taking action against the Whitebeard Pirates secretly is one thing, but to confront them head-on is something even the Marine Headquarters would have to think carefully about.

"What? You don't dare?" Frank immediately mocked when he saw that the other party had not removed his cloak.

"It's not that we dare not, but that there's no need!" The cloaked leader stopped his companion who was about to speak, and said, "Hurry up and finish them off, don't waste time!"

Upon seeing that the other side was about to attack, both Frank and the captain of the Black Gold Pirates changed their expressions.

Given their combined strength, if the opponent launches a full-scale attack, they probably wouldn't last even half an hour.

But at this point, even if Sachi had discovered the other party's plot, it would have been too late for him to arrive.

"Hoo~ It seems you guys are planning a full-scale war with the Whitebeard Pirates?" Frank took a deep breath and said.

"All-out war? No, no, no... We don't want to fight the world's number one pirate crew head-on! Once we've dealt with you, even the Whitebeard Pirates will have a hard time finding us again, right?" The cloaked leader chuckled. "So... there's no need to stall any longer. Your main force is probably still searching for those elusive shadows in the back mountains, isn't it? Hahaha..."

Even the leader of the cloaked figures couldn't help but burst into laughter when he spoke of his proudest moments.

Frank took a deep breath, turned his head and whispered to the captain of the Black Gold Pirates beside him, "When the fight breaks out, I will deliberately expose the secrets of my Whitebeard Pirates' officers, and then they will make me their primary target. You take the opportunity to escape towards the back of the mountain!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're not strong enough to hold them off, are you? I'll handle this!" Despite being severely injured, the captain of the Black Gold Pirates had no intention of running away, saying, "They did this to my crew, I can't possibly run away!"

"Idiot!" Frank cursed in a deep voice, "If you don't run now, you'll all die here! This is a matter for the Whitebeard Pirates. You leave now, preserve your life, and leave the revenge to the Whitebeard Pirates. As long as I die here, they will definitely not be able to escape!"

The captain of the Black Gold Pirates was taken aback. He could tell the other party's strength. He originally thought the other party was at most a minor leader, but he did not expect him to be a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Are you really a member of the Whitebeard Pirates?" the captain of the Black Gold Pirates asked hesitantly.

"No!" Frank rolled his eyes and replied.

The captain of the Black Gold Pirates breathed a long sigh of relief. If the Whitebeard Pirates' officers were only this strong, then the title of the world's number one pirate crew was probably undeserved.

"I am a core member!" Frank said softly.

"??!!!!" The captain of the Black Gold Pirates stared wide-eyed at Frank in disbelief.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm not a combatant, so I'm not very strong! But if I die here, I'll at least alert First Mate Reina. With the First Mate on the job, they won't be able to escape no matter where they run!" Frank said confidently.

"Gulp... The vice-captain you mentioned... is it Akame Reina?" The captain of the Black Gold Pirates swallowed hard and asked.

“That’s right! So there’s no way they can escape!” Frank said softly.

At this moment, the captain of the Black Gold Pirates began to hesitate. He was thinking about whether to run away, even though he had originally been determined to die.

But now that he has the opportunity to see his enemy die, there is no need for him to stay and die.

After thinking it over carefully, the captain of the Black Gold Pirates breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I see. But in that case, you absolutely cannot die here. Otherwise, the Whitebeard Pirates might not let it go, right? That could cause a huge upheaval in the New World!"

Frank remained silent.

If he really dies here, then the Whitebeard Pirates, far away in the North Blue, will not only abandon their territory in the North Blue, but at least more than half of their forces will return, and they will lay a trap in the New World. At that time, not only the New World, but the entire world will probably be thrown into turmoil.

However, given the current situation, it is clearly impossible for both of them to escape. This matter originally belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Black Gold Pirates, in order to help, now only have their captain left. How could he let the other side cover his retreat?

Moreover, the current situation leaves them no room for further discussion, as the other side has already surrounded them.

"You go first!" Frank shoved the captain of the Black Gold Pirates aside and charged towards him.

"Want to escape from the Whitebeard Pirates? Ask me, one of their officers, if I'll allow it!" Pan Lan shouted as he charged toward the enemy.

As expected, Frank's self-disclosure of his identity completely changed the direction of the cloaked men's attack. As a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, he was definitely their primary target. Although Frank didn't seem very powerful, they dared not be careless at this moment.

"Oh!"

The leader of the cloaked men was the first to approach Frank and kicked him. It was originally just a probing move, but it unexpectedly hit Frank directly, sending him flying and leaving only a trail of blood in the air.

"Damn it!" Upon seeing this, the captain of the Black Gold Pirates immediately ran towards Frank.

"Cough cough..." When the captain of the Black Gold Pirates came to Frank's side, Frank had already struggled to stand up slowly, but he looked to be in very bad shape.

"With your strength, you think you can be considered a member of the Whitebeard Pirates? Kid, don't think you can leave alive just by pretending to be a member!" The cloaked man said to Frank with a dark face.

In his view, the other party was probably planning to pretend to be a member of the Whitebeard Pirates so that they wouldn't dare to actually kill him. However, the other party misjudged their situation. Now that they had offended the Whitebeard Pirates, they would dare to kill even Whitebeard himself, let alone his officers!

Chapter 759 Frank Seeking Death

"Damn it, do you even know who he is? Right now, you've only offended the Whitebeard Pirates. If you back down now, they'll at most arrest you. But if you kill him, you'll be permanently on the Whitebeard Pirates' kill list!" The captain of the Black Gold Pirates, shielding Frank behind him, roared.

"He's a core member of the Whitebeard Pirates! So far, there's no record of a core member of the Whitebeard Pirates dying in battle. Do you really not want to live anymore?"

His words stunned all the cloaked figures. They couldn't believe it. Someone with such strength was actually a core member of the Whitebeard Pirates? Was this a lie?

"Don't believe me? The Whitebeard Pirates are more than just a fighting force. As the world's number one pirate crew, their composition is quite different from that of ordinary pirate crews like yours and mine!" The captain of the Black Gold Pirates, having noticed the cloaked man's hesitation, spoke again.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. How could someone with my strength be a core member? I was just a captain of an ordinary pirate crew back then. I led everyone to join the Whitebeard Pirates, which is why I was fortunate enough to become an ordinary member! So if you want to leave today, you can't do it without killing me. I will stop you with all my might!" After calming down and recovering a bit, Frank stepped out from behind the captain of the Black Gold Pirates and said.

But the more he said that, the less the cloaked man believed it.

"Chief, what do we do now?" the cloaked figures asked, coming to their leader's side.

"Never mind, our goal is just to escape this island. Whether he's an ordinary officer or a core member, there's no need for us to kill him. If he really is one of the core members of the Whitebeard Pirates, then we'll fight the Whitebeard Pirates to the death!" the cloaked leader said after thinking for a moment.

The others nodded and turned to walk toward the ships in the harbor.

Their goal was simply to escape. Once they were out at sea, even the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't be able to find them in a short time. Moreover, although they attacked the Whitebeard Pirates, they didn't kill any important figures. As long as they didn't encounter the Whitebeard Pirates, the latter probably wouldn't care too much.

More importantly, they have not revealed their identities so far, making it difficult for the Whitebeard Pirates to find them in the future.

So after their leader made the decision, they decided to let Frank and the captain of the Black Gold Pirates go.

"Hey... I never said... you can leave!" But seeing that the other party was about to leave, Frank stepped forward and accelerated towards them.

"Idiot!" Upon seeing this, the captain of the Black Gold Pirates rushed over after Frank, his top priority now being to protect Frank.

Upon learning Frank's identity, he had already made his decision: protecting Frank was clearly more important than capturing these cloaked figures.

"Bang!" Just as Frank caught up with the cloaked man, the leader of the cloaked men grabbed Frank by the neck.
