From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

He was not trying to deceive Roger. In fact, he really wanted to join forces with Roger, and even after that, it was not impossible to share the world with Roger.

For a hero like Shiqi, this was already an extraordinary concession.

But he was still willing, even though Roger had rejected him so many times.

Slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, Shi Ji waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I won't bother with you about this. Roger, I ask you again, do you want to join forces with me?"

"You know my answer very well, don't you?" Roger said without hesitation.

"Don't be so quick to refuse, Roger. I have said these words many times. Although we had many conflicts when we were young, let's let these grudges go with the wind. As long as you and I join forces, this sea will immediately become ours. You have the news that you have an "ancient weapon" that can destroy the world, right? And I also have a very good big plan, Roger! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Shiqi invited Roger with excitement in his eyes.

Listening to Shiqi's words, Roger asked in surprise: "How did you know?"

"Ancient weapons? It's not surprising that an ambitious person like me would know these things, right? Your reaction makes me even more certain." Shi Ji said with an evil smile.

But Roger finally shook his head and said, "You're right, but I'm different from you. I have no intention of finding those ancient weapons..."

Upon hearing this, Shiqi's face darkened and he said unhappily, "Are you going to give up this opportunity to rule the world, Roger?"

Roger smiled and said bluntly, "Shiqi, I have absolutely no interest in 'ruling the world'!"

Before Shiki could speak, Roger continued, "If you can't do what you want as a pirate, then going out to sea is meaningless! So Shiki, no matter how many times you make this suggestion, my answer is only one... I refuse!!!"

Shi Ji's face became extremely gloomy because of this, and his lion-like unruly figure began to tremble slightly.

Not fear, but anger!

Seeing Shiqi's appearance, the members on Roger's ship also prepared for battle.

Only Bucky was almost scared to death.

"Captain, why don't you just agree to him first? And make plans after we leave here? There are dozens of ships there!" Bucky cried.

"What are you afraid of, Buggy? Haven't you become immortal and won't die no matter how you are chopped into pieces?" Shanks teased with a smile.

After hearing this, Buggy glared at Shanks angrily and said, "Idiot, you have many weaknesses. I'm not immortal!"

After saying that, without paying any attention to Shanks, he hugged Roger's ship doctor, Crocus, and cried, "Mr. Crocus, the captain's health is not good, right? He can't do anything, right?"

Kurokas shook his spear and said with a smile, "Unfortunately, Buggy, the captain has been in top physical condition these past two days!"

"Hahahaha, give up, Bucky. We have known Roger for so long, and we have never succeeded in stopping anything he decided." Jabba said, rubbing Bucky's head with a hand axe in his hand.

Seeing that none of these people supported him, Buggy finally looked at the second-in-command on the ship.

"Mr. Rayleigh..." Bucky cried.

Rayleigh smiled, then his expression gradually became serious.

"Roger doesn't have much time left...so, we can't retreat." Rayleigh said in a slightly low voice.

At the same time, Shiqi took a deep breath and then exhaled all the smoke in his mouth.

He looked at Roger with a sinister look and said, "So, you're saying you want me to kill you here, Roger?"

Roger grinned confidently and said, "No, I'm going to kill all of you bastards right here!"

As Roger finished speaking, Shiqi said in a deep voice: "Fire, kill them!"

Only this time, it’s different!

Shiqi thought so in his heart.

Before, after Roger rejected him, he did not insist on killing Roger and his men. Instead, he patiently invited them again.

Sometimes, both parties would have a drink together or something.

But only this time, it doesn’t work.

Because Ski now knows that Roger has the method to master ancient weapons!

Not only the World Government is afraid of this, but Shiki is also afraid of this.

In his opinion, if Roger could join forces with him, everything would be easy and the ancient weapons would become an important force for them.

But if Roger refuses, this time, he must be killed.

Otherwise...what if ancient weapons become a threat to me in the future?

To some extent, his thinking is no different from that of the generals in the Warring States Period.

If there is a wrongful killing, there will be no letting off!

Kill all the sprouts that could threaten you!

Only in this way can we achieve hegemony!

To be honest, Shi Ji was also very regretful to make this decision. He really admired Roger, but for the sake of hegemony, he had to kill Roger here!

That's right, he was so confident. Shiki felt that he had been planning for so long and finally caught such a good opportunity. It shouldn't be a problem to surround Roger's pirate group and kill them!

A barrage of artillery fire instantly erupted from the large fleet under Ski's command.

At the same time, the Oro Jackson of the Roger Pirates roared and fired cannons.

Afterwards, Rayleigh, Jabba and other elite members of Roger's pirate group drew their weapons and rushed forward to meet the artillery fire.

The Battle of Edwall, later known as the battle that 'changed the course of history', began!

On the other side, navy warships are also rushing to the waters of Edwor.

On Chief of Staff Azuru's ship, Garp, Azuru, Kuzan, Gion and others were sitting together, drinking tea and chatting.

"Who is that kid on the Sengoku ship? Why haven't I seen him before? He seems very smart?" Garp asked curiously while chewing on senbei.

This guy is carefree, even though Diarmait has been in Marineford for a while and has become friends with Kuzan.

But he paid no attention to Diarmait.

But if you think about it, it's normal. After all, Diarmait is just a small major in the Navy Headquarters.

"His name is Diarmait, and he is from our sixth officer training camp." Gion took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"Oh? Is this the seedling that Zefa guy likes?" Garp asked with a little interest.

Kuzan smiled and said, "That's right. Teacher Zefa is very optimistic about him. We talked about Diarmait before, when we were in the North Sea..."

Then, Kuzan told everyone what Zefa had told him about what happened in the North Sea.

"In that situation, how could Shiki be hurt? That kid is pretty good, Kuzan. Aren't you short of an assistant officer? Why didn't you get him to work under you?" Garp asked with a smile.

"Kuzan was invited, but he refused." Gion explained with a smile.

"He said he felt there was no future with me. Of course, I think so too." Kuzan shrugged and said casually.

"Now it seems that he is not only brave and decisive, but also smart." Chief of Staff Ahe suddenly said.

In fact, if she was given some time, she would be able to figure out Diarmait's thoughts.

But in the end, she had to admit that Diarmait was faster than her.

In the opinion of Chief of Staff Ahe, this is wisdom, and Diarmait must be a very wise man.

After all, she couldn't possibly know that Diarmait was the one who jumped out to cheat...

After a brief pause, Chief of Staff Ahe smiled and said, "Perhaps, we have found another powerful talent."

"Gion, you said he is in the same class as you, so how strong is he? Have you ever had any exchanges or competitions with him?" Garp asked curiously.

Gion shook his head and said with a hint of regret, "We were originally planning to spar in kendo, but wasn't this interrupted by the mission?"

"Still very immature." Kuzan suddenly said.

The others were stunned for a moment, but they did not doubt Kuzan's answer.

"Really? Well this time, try to take care of this little guy as much as possible and don't let him die here." Karp muttered.

Chapter 20: Warring States General: Teach him a lesson!

When the warship arrived at the waters of Edwor, everyone's face looked unhappy.

The Warring States general looked at the dark sky and felt that God was against him.

"We made the wrong choice..." General Zhan Guo said helplessly and regretfully as he stood on the deck.

Borsalino and Sakaski on the side had similar expressions, but Borsalino looked more or less indifferent.

Only Diarmait was a little puzzled. What did it mean?

"General, maybe it's true? The Sea of ​​Edwall is so vast... why don't we go in and look for it?" Diarmait suggested.

Admiral Zhan Guo said with a sigh, "Shi Ji is a cautious man. He also has the world's best climatologists under his command. Our navy's climate research intelligence is actually no match for Shi Ji. Perhaps we made such a mistake and misjudged the weather in the Edvol Sea, but Shi Ji... he wouldn't do that."

At this point, the Warring States general looked at Diarmait's somewhat incredulous expression, smiled inwardly, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said, "Diarmait, you did nothing wrong. If there was anything wrong, it was me. I was too careless."

After all, these three sea areas were circled by Zhan Guo himself, and Diarmuid only found the most likely sea area within the range he gave.

Diarmuid really can't be blamed for this situation now. He trusted the climate report given by the Intelligence Department too much.

After listening to the words of the Warring States General, Diarmuid finally understood what was going on.

He really wanted to tell General Zhan Guo that if they rushed in now, it should still be in time.

Maybe the battle between Roger and Shiki is over, maybe Roger's pirate group can't be caught, but as for Shiki, the rudder of the ship might already be hanging on his head. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deal with him!

Looking at the sky now, it seems that this gloomy weather has lasted for several days, but in fact, a huge storm just formed and swept out not long ago.

It was precisely because of this phenomenon that the Warring States generals mistakenly believed that they had made mistakes in their climate intelligence.

Judging from this perspective, Admiral Sengoku felt that even if the Roger Pirates really chose to pass through here, Shiki would not risk the annihilation of his entire army to ambush Roger here.

Then he is not going to kill Roger's pirate group, but to bring warmth to Roger's pirate group!

"General, I think we may still be able to fight for it!" Diarmuid said quickly.

Originally, seeing the weather, General Warring States and others were planning to turn around and head to Chalanna or the Lees Wilson Sea. In this way, although it would be a gamble on luck, they might still be able to catch up.

Of course, the Warring States generals no longer had much hope in their hearts.

If they keep going back and forth like this, even if the warship is fast enough, it probably won't be able to catch up.

He even believes that the Navy can now declare the mission a failure.

However, although he was a little frustrated, he did not suffer a big blow. After all, the navy just thought from the beginning that this was an opportunity worthy of attention.

Even if you fail, there is no loss.

It can even be considered a profit. After all, no matter what, Shiki will probably have a big battle with Roger. If any of these pirates fails, it will be a victory for the navy, right?
