Rogue Town Port.
The atmosphere immediately became extremely tense.
The warning of the impending war caused great concern among the civilians watching the battle.
On one side is the garrison navy of the Rogue Town Naval Base, and on the other side is the newly established overlord of the East China Sea, the William Pirates.
Which side will the balance of victory tip to
Is it the more than 3,000 navy men from Rogue Town, or the 8,000-man pirate fleet of William Pirates
Before the real battle.
No one can predict the outcome.
The navy has always relied on its numerical advantage to hunt down scattered pirates, but today, with the gathering of William's pirate group, the situation was reversed. This was a rare battle in which the pirates' strength far exceeded that of the navy.
More than three thousand people versus eight thousand people!
Every navy soldier was ready for battle, and even when facing pirates with far more numbers than their own, the navy soldiers showed little fear.
There is no other reason, it’s just because of the momentum!
The navy is still synonymous with victory on this ocean.
Similarly, they also have this confidence.
As the highest naval leader of Rogue Town, Colonel Smoker has been in office since taking office.
After clearing out many pirates, the order in Rogue Town temporarily became stable and peaceful.
Every time Colonel Smoker takes action, almost no pirates can resist, so they are full of confidence in Colonel Smoker.
In addition to Colonel Smoker, there are many powerful naval officers in the navy, among which Lieutenant Coles is an outstanding representative.
Less than a year after joining the navy, he was promoted to the position of second lieutenant in the navy headquarters. During this period, he defeated many pirates with high bounties.
While patrolling in Rogue Town.
Almost no pirates were able to come ashore, making Rogue Town extremely peaceful during this period.
This is all thanks to Lieutenant Coles.
What's more, these naval soldiers knew that just ten days ago, Lieutenant Coles defeated the previous overlord of the East China Sea, the Click Pirates, alone.
That was a large pirate fleet of 3,000 people, but it was still wiped out by Lieutenant Coles alone, and Click, with a bounty of 18 million, was captured alive.
This shows how powerful Lieutenant Coles is!
Although the William Pirates have 8,000 people, Lieutenant Coles can deal with a small half of them alone, and as for the remaining pirates, they, the navy soldiers, can easily fight them evenly.
This idea just circulated in the minds of the navy, but no one said it out loud.
If you say it.
Everyone will be surprised to find that, without realizing it, Lieutenant Coles has become synonymous with the navy's strength.
They will all remember it subconsciously.
All this may be due to the influence of Coles' amazing record.
On the first day of the rookie period, he killed the pirate Atun with a bounty of 7 million. In the third month of the rookie period, he killed the giant fist Yulong with a bounty of 10 million.
After the rookie period, he wiped out the gang in Rogue Town, and then defeated a large pirate group of 1,000 people at the Sea Restaurant alone, killing Barbarossa, who had a bounty of 24 million.
Recently, he solved the problem of Arlong, who had a bounty of 20 million, and after encountering the Click Pirates, the overlord of the East China Sea, he once again solved the problem of 3,000 people by himself!
Such a record.
How could it not be impressive!
The young naval officer standing on the far right in the front row of the harbor.
It's Lieutenant Coles!
The navy coat fluttering in the wind brought confidence of victory to many naval soldiers.
On the sea.
The William Pirates' large fleet possesses the latest sophisticated artillery and equipment, and its number of men far exceeds that of the naval force of Rogue Town.
The possibility of winning this battle is very high.
Similarly, they had full confidence in Captain William.
Because a few days ago, when selecting the leaders of each ship, William had fought with those new entrants who were quite powerful.
Among them, William displayed his superb swordsmanship skills and even cut through a hundred-meter-high mountain with one sword, leaving a deep impression on everyone.
Therefore, in the eyes of these new pirates, Captain William is almost invincible.
To rescue Ajin.
A chaotic battle with a total combat force of more than 10,000 people on both sides is about to begin.
"We will win this battle!"
"We will win this battle!"
From the side of the 8,000-strong pirate group, a burst of shouting was heard, and eventually they became one.
Take advantage of this momentum.
William suddenly drew out the famous sword from his waist. His eyes were like an eagle in the sky, firm and decisive, and he shouted the order to start the war.
"Everyone follow me..."
But his words suddenly stopped.
Because a new warship appeared on the sea in the distance.
Why did warships suddenly come to support
William was somewhat puzzled. It should be impossible for other naval branches to get the news so quickly in such a short time.
Moreover, even if those naval branches got the news, it would take several days for them to arrive. It is simply impossible for them to arrive so quickly.
Unless the naval base in Rogue Town had already asked for help from the nearest naval base a few days ago.
But this is unlikely, because a few days ago, when William gathered all his troops, he only told his companions on the ship that he wanted to attack the Rogue Town base.
It is unlikely that the crew would leak the information, so where did this warship come from
At the port of Rogue Town.
The navy was also puzzled.
Coles looked at Smoker, his thoughts turning, wondering if Smoker had asked for help in advance
Smoker was actually a little confused and didn't know where this warship came from.
However, when his eyes swept over Coles, he suddenly had some guesses.
Could it be that someone from the Navy Headquarters wanted Coles to go to the Grand Line ahead of time
The atmosphere now.
From the original intense to deserted.
If I had to describe it, it would be when the two countries were at war, the atmosphere reached its peak, and both sides were eager to fight, and a king's princess suddenly appeared on the battlefield...
Why describe it this way
Perhaps it was because William was influenced by a biography of a knight he had recently read.
As the warship approached, the members of William's pirate group could also see some differences in the warship.
In addition to the huge size of this warship, the decoration on its head is in the shape of a brown-gray dog's head with a large white bone in its mouth.
After seeing the ship, Coles felt vaguely familiar with it, but for a moment, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Suddenly.
Some sailors who were familiar with the dog-head-patterned bow immediately screamed and shouted wildly.
"Vice Admiral Garp, it's Vice Admiral Garp's ship!"
Vice Admiral Garp!
As this term came out of the mouths of the navy, the whole atmosphere became jubilant, and the haze of being surrounded by the William Pirates' fleet quickly dissipated.
At this time, Coles also reacted. No wonder he felt that this ship was somewhat familiar. It turned out to be the dog-head ship of the naval hero Vice Admiral Garp.
In the original storyline.
Vice Admiral Garp first appeared in front of the public on this warship.
In the newspapers when he was a child, Coles had seen reports about Vice Admiral Garp's heroism, and the dog-head ship seemed to have appeared in the picture.
Different from the passionate sentiment in the navy.
The William Pirate Group was already in a state of complete tension.
Who is Vice Admiral Garp
A legendary figure in the navy, he has forced the Pirate King Roger into desperate situations several times, thus becoming a hero of the navy, known as "Hero Garp" and "Iron Fist Garp".
If Garp had not refused promotion many times, he would have already been the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.
The navy and pirates present were no strangers to this legendary hero from the East China Sea. They could even feel the power of Vice Admiral Garp more than anyone else.
Because every time Vice Admiral Garp traveled back and forth to the East China Sea, he would defeat the pirates he met.
Over time, the overall strength of the pirate groups in the East China Sea declined rapidly, and the average bounty was far lower than that of the other four seas.
The East China Sea once produced powerful pirates like Roger Rayleigh, who had great potential.
The pirates here are weak now. In addition to the World Government's focused suppression, Vice Admiral Garp's frequent travels are also a significant factor.
Watching the navy ship belonging to Vice Admiral Garp approaching the town of Rogue.
William's expression became extremely solemn. Although he had some confidence in his own strength, he was not so arrogant as to dare to compare himself with the legendary Vice Admiral Garp.
Although he has a powerful force of 8,000 people, they are all ordinary combat forces, and it is impossible for them to fight against Vice Admiral Garp.
"captain!"
Jeff spoke with a worried look on his face. He was afraid that Captain William would impulsively and recklessly go to war with the navy in his eagerness to rescue Ajin.
Facing Jeff's reminder, William waved his hand to indicate that he was calm now.
"Retreat for now."
With Vice Admiral Garp here, there is no way of having a conflict with the naval base in Rogue Town today, and the plan to rescue Akin has failed.
If you must fight.
Then the newly established overlord of the East China Sea will definitely perish at the fastest speed.
Vice Admiral Garp is so powerful!
