Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

“That’s right!” Frank nodded in response.

"Alright, in that case, I'll head out now!" Marco smiled and was about to hang up the Den Den Mushi, but at that moment, a voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"and many more!"

"Huh?" Frank looked at Shakya, who had appeared at the door of the communications room, with surprise, and asked in confusion, "Dr. Shakya, what's going on?"

"I heard that the Navy and the World Government have joined forces to take action against the Straw Hat crew, right? Is Marco going to provide support now?" Shakya asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Frank didn't hide anything, nodding in reply.

Dr. Shakya already had sufficient authority to access this level of intelligence, so it wasn't surprising that he knew about Frank.

“When I came here before, I mentioned that the World Government had specifically conscripted three Seraphim to carry out a mission, but they didn’t know the specific details of the mission! So I suspect that the three Seraphim are already in the North Sea!” Shakya said without further ado.

His words surprised both Frank and Marco. Although it was only three Seraphim, it was already a formidable force on the battlefield.

If caught off guard, the opponent might be caught off guard by a big guy.

“It seems the World Government and the Navy came prepared. So the outcome of this negotiation... might not be ideal. Frank, inform Dad immediately. I’m heading to the Straw Hats right now!” Upon hearing this, Marco immediately put down the Den Den Mushi and turned to leave.

"Captain Marco, my men are currently on the edge of the battlefield. They are equipped with communication devices. Once you arrive, you can find them first so you can contact us immediately!" Kuki quickly stepped forward and said, watching Marco walk away.

"Alright, that's thoughtful of you!" Marco patted Kuki on the shoulder, then spread his arms and transformed them into phoenix wings, flying towards the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Frank was also contacting Whitebeard while asking Dr. Shakya, "Doctor, which three Seraphim were summoned by the World Government this time?"

"Empress, Hawkeye, and Strait! They are the most combat-experienced and strongest among the Seraphim!" Shakya said without hesitation.

"Thank you so much, Doctor. I'll contact my father soon, and I expect the reinforcements will arrive soon!" Frank said, expressing his gratitude.

"I'm glad I could help you. By the way, Mr. Reina, have you decided what to do with that imprisoned extraterrestrial visitor?" Shakya hesitated for a moment before asking.

“Yes, the first mate originally planned to thaw him directly, and then have Miss Bling extract his memories. If he resisted, Captain Marco would absorb his luck power directly. But now it seems that the time will be delayed again!” Frank shrugged and replied.

He knew that Shakyamuni had always wanted to study the extraterrestrial visitor, but there was nothing he could do for the time being; he could only wait until things were over before discussing it further.

"I see. I wonder if I will be able to observe from the sidelines?" Shakyamuni asked upon hearing this.

"That shouldn't be a problem!" Frank said with a smile. "I'll send someone to inform the Doctor when the time comes!"

"Thank you very much!" Shakyamuni said with a smile.

Frank smiled slightly as he watched Shakya turn and leave. He felt that the other party was about to become a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. No force would refuse such a top-notch scientist.

"Is that Frank? What happened?" Just then, the Den Den Mushi that was supposed to contact Whitebeard was connected.

"Dad... here's what happened!" Frank quickly recounted what had just occurred.

"I see... You open the teleporter over there, and I'll teleport the first batch of people back in ten minutes!" Whitebeard replied after thinking for a moment.

Since the Navy and the World Government are determined to wage war in the North Blue, there's no need for them to hide anything anymore. It's time to tell the world why the Whitebeard Pirates are the world's number one pirate crew.

"Understood!" Frank said excitedly.

Fighting those extraterrestrial visitors was incredibly difficult for the world to comprehend, but after battling the Navy, the world will realize just how terrifying the Whitebeard Pirates truly are!

After disconnecting from Whitebeard, Frank immediately contacted the Science Department and activated the teleporter to await reinforcements.

"Tsk tsk tsk... I really didn't expect that we would have to fight the Navy first at a time like this. I hope it's not that slippery guy Kizaru this time!" Reina stepped out first from the teleporter.

"First mate!" Frank, who was waiting next to the teleporter, immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Chapter 1107 Marco Arrives

Frank became excited when Reina led the captains out of the teleporter.

"Why are you so excited, kid?" Reina chuckled and patted Frank on the shoulder.

"Haha... First mate, this is the time for our Whitebeard Pirates to make a name for ourselves in the world! We'll crush the Navy head-on and let the world know who truly rules this world!" Frank said with a loud laugh.

"Dominate the world? We can't do that!" Reina said with a light laugh. "Alright, everyone step out and make way for the guys behind!"

Following behind Reina were the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The teleporter consumes a lot of energy each time it is activated, so it is usually turned off immediately after activation, and only a small number of people are teleported at a time.

However, this time they did not turn off the teleporter after turning it on, so they could directly teleport a large number of people, although it required more time and energy.

Soon, Ace, Vista, and ten other captains, along with five combat squads, emerged from the teleporter.

The Whitebeard Pirates currently have sixteen combat squads, each with a captain and one hundred combatants under their command. These are all elite combatants of the Whitebeard Pirates, totaling one thousand six hundred and sixteen people.

However, he has now returned to Wano Country, so his combat squad stayed with Whitebeard, managed by Jozu, who is responsible for protecting Whitebeard's safety.

Marco himself had been on Crescent Island, so his combat squad members stayed with him there.

Reina brought ten captains and five combat squads with him, and ten pirate crews under Whitebeard's command are also heading this way by ship.

With such power, Reina believed it would be more than enough to deal with the Navy. Although his pirate crew had not yet arrived, Reina did not intend to wait any longer. Instead, he led his captains onto the whale ship that Frank had prepared.

The Whale Ship, as the official pirate ship of the Whitebeard Pirates, was modeled after the Moby Dick, only smaller in size.

"Alright, let's go!" With everything ready, Reina gave the order, and the five whale ships sped towards Kaka Island. They would resupply in Kaka and then enter the battlefield.

Before that, Reina used necromancy to summon the Surveillance Eagle and sent it ahead to the battlefield, wanting to know the current situation on the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Marco, who had set off from Kaka Island, quickly arrived at the edge of the battlefield and found Kuki's subordinates.

"Captain Marco!" Kuki's subordinates immediately greeted him as Marco landed on the pirate ship.

"What is the current situation on the battlefield?" Marco asked.

However, everyone shook their heads, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "Lord Kuki told us not to get close, so we don't know the situation on the battlefield! But we did see a pirate ship retreating from another direction, and the Navy ignored it!"

“You did the right thing!” Marco nodded and said, “Keep an eye on the navy’s movements. If they approach you, retreat immediately and always maintain a safe distance from the navy!”

Feeling Marco's concern, these guys were so excited they didn't know what to do and rushed forward to express their desire to act alongside Captain Marco.

Marco smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You have a more important task: to monitor these naval forces and report the battle situation to the reinforcements further back. So don't come with me!"

"You bunch of idiots, are you going to follow Captain Marco and drag us down? You'll need Captain Marco to protect you later!" At this moment, a squad leader stepped forward to stop everyone, and then said to Marco, "Captain Marco, don't worry, we will be reporting the situation here to Boss Kuki in a timely manner!"

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you guys!" Marco patted the other person on the shoulder, then spread his arms, transformed into a half-beast form, and flew directly towards the center of the battlefield.

Marco's appearance naturally attracted the attention of the Navy and the World Government. At the same time, Luffy was also very happy. Jinbe gave a signal in Marco's direction, knowing that Marco was unaware of the situation here, so he wanted to share the situation with Marco.

However, at this moment, Marco's first attention was not on Luffy and Jinbe, but on Kizaru and Shanks who were fighting.

"Shanks is here too?" Marco thought to himself. With the Straw Hat Pirates' strength plus Shanks', they still had to ask them for help. Just how many troops did the Navy send?

But soon, he discovered that the World Government's CP0 member, Seraph Hawkeye, was already fighting all over the place.

"According to Shakya's intelligence, the World Government has mobilized three Seraphim, but there is only one here. Does that mean the enemy hasn't gone all out yet?" Marco was increasingly alarmed. The enemy's lineup was quite unexpected. The number of powerful individuals mobilized by the World Government was no less than that of the Navy.

This surprised Marco. He had originally thought that this operation was led by the Navy Headquarters, but now it seemed that things were not so simple.

As Marco circled in the air, he approached Shanks, intending to talk to him first and clarify things before making any further decisions.

As for the signal Jinbe gave him, he didn't have time to pay attention to it now, since this wasn't the time to reminisce.

"Is that Marco the Phoenix?" On the World Government warship at the center of the formation, Jegarcia Satan Saint, one of the Five Elders, asked softly as he watched Marco gliding through the air.

“Yes, sir! That’s Marco the Phoenix, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates! He’s incredibly strong, with combat power close to that of a Marine Admiral!” the government official beside him quickly replied.

Jegalsia Satan Saint chuckled and said, "But the Whitebeard Pirates only sent one person, do they really think he can rescue the Straw Hat crew?"

None of the guards or servants around him dared to answer.

"Pass down the order: finish this quickly. Now that Marco has arrived, it proves that the Whitebeard Pirates have their sights set on this area. After we've dealt with this quickly, we have more important things to do!" Jegarcia Satan Saint said in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir!" The messenger saluted and immediately turned to leave, relaying the order.

"Sir, if we encounter Uta, should we capture him alive?" At this moment, a World Government official asked cautiously.

“No need to specifically capture him alive. It would be best if we could capture him, but if not… a corpse will do!” Jegarcia Satan Saint said softly as he turned and walked toward the cabin.

Chapter 1108 Reaching a Stalemate

"What's going on here? Why are you here too? Has the Navy gone mad?" Marco asked Shanks curiously as he approached him.

"I came to pick up Uta, but the Marines surrounded us, and... the Five Elders are here too!" Shanks said with a wry smile. "If you're alone, I suggest you leave quickly and go back to find Whitebeard or Reyna, otherwise we might all be doomed here!"

"The Five Elders?" Marco was taken aback, seemingly confused, and asked, "Which Five Elders?"

"How many Five Elders are there in this world? Of course, it's those old geezers from the World Government!" Shanks replied helplessly.

"Gulp..." Marco swallowed hard and looked at Kizaru opposite him.

Yes, Kizaru didn't rush to attack. Instead, he waited for Marco and Shanks to finish their conversation. Especially when he saw Marco looking at him, Kizaru's lewd expression reappeared. He said, "Don't look at me like that. I can't command beings of that level. I'm just here to be a bodyguard!"

“There’s no other way but to hold on. I contacted my father when I came here, and reinforcements should be on their way. However, most of our troops are deployed at the front line, so it will take time for them to arrive!” Marco said, shrugging.

However, what he was really thinking about was how to send this message back. The mobilization of the Five Elders was no small matter. Marco even wondered if their target was Uta and Straw Hat Boy.

"Try your best! I don't need your help here, Luffy probably needs you more!" Shanks looked at Kizaru and said to Marco beside him.

For some reason, he had a feeling that Kizaru wasn't going all out, so if he could hold Kizaru off here, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Marco just wanted to pass on the information, so he nodded, spread his wings, and flew into the air.

However, before Marco could return the way he came, two Seraphim blocked his way.

"Seraph Empress and Seraph Sea Knight?" Marco looked at the two Seraphs before him, chuckled, and said, "I really didn't expect you two to be waiting for me!"

Marco already knew that Seraph had three units, but the Straw Hat crew and Shanks did not. When they finally saw reinforcements arrive, only to find that the enemy still had trump cards up their sleeves, and with the Five Elders still waiting to make their move, their hearts sank.

"The Whitebeard Pirates only sent one person?" Sanji was a bit troubled to see Marco being stopped by Seraphim.

He was initially surprised to see Marco arrive so quickly, thinking the Whitebeard Pirates were incredibly fast. However, he was surprised to find that only Marco showed up. Especially after the two Seraphim stopped Marco, Sanji regretted using the signal flare.

However, he soon had no time to deal with Marco, as the Navy began to tighten the encirclement, increasing the pressure on him, while Lucci's offensive became increasingly fierce.

This prevented Sanji from being distracted by anything else.

On the other hand, Zoro has completely suppressed Kaku, and even Kaku's form is somewhat broken.

Previously on Future Island, when he fought Zoro, although Zoro had the advantage, he felt that their strengths were not that different.

But now, he felt that he was no longer on the same level as Zoro. From the beginning of their fight, he was suppressed by Zoro. Even when he used his awakened Devil Fruit power, he was still no match for Zoro.

If it weren't for the help of many naval officers and CP0 members around him, he would probably have already been defeated by Zoro by now.

"Kaku, don't do anything reckless! Remember who you are and who you're working for!" Seeing Kaku acting strangely and even starting to drive away the allies who wanted to help him, Lucci, who noticed his situation in time, immediately shouted.
