The retreat order of the Navy Headquarters is wise.
Two admirals were dispatched to hunt down Ian's dragon hunter pirate group. It can be seen that the world government and the navy attach great importance to Ian. They originally thought that the navy's tough stance could force the four emperors and prevent them from disrupting the situation. Yes, and this is indeed the case. If there is no Ace, the Whitebeard Pirates may indeed have some concerns this time and will not be dispatched.
However, what they didn't expect was that at this point in time, Fire Fist Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates!
Whitebeard attaches great importance to Ace, the adoptive son. After Ace, who just joined, made a plea to him for the first time, Whitebeard planned to stand up for his son without hesitation.
Before Kizaru and Zefa led the navy to Salamis Island, the Navy Headquarters also got the news that the Whitebeard Pirates were dispatched. At that time, they hesitated, thinking whether to let Kizaru and Zefa withdraw.
However, the turning point is that due to Doflamingo's secret intervention, the Beast Pirates also appeared, and collided with the Whitebeard Pirates, and the two sides confronted each other in the open sea.
After learning of this situation, the navy acquiesced to Kizaru and Zefa to continue their operations, wanting to make a time difference and take this opportunity to arrest the Dragon Hunter Pirates and Ian.
It's just that everyone underestimated the Dragon Hunter Pirates. During the battle, Fujitora held back Zefa, and Ian also broke out with all his strength. The bullet unexpectedly injured the yellow ape!
So far, including Aokiji, there are already two admirals injured in Ian's hands...
Injury does not mean defeat. In fact, Ian does not have the ability to completely defeat the navy now, but the battle is like this. A little accident often leads to a different final result. Ian uses his own fighting wisdom, and in The yellow ape gained a little advantage in the battle, so the balance of victory naturally tilted towards them.
Since the on-site footage was only seen through the report of an intern reporter, the navy headquarters did not know the specifics of Huang Yuan's injury. Although they also knew that even if an admiral was injured, it would be difficult to kill, but The problem is that the Whitebeard Pirates have withdrawn from the confrontation with the Beasts Pirates and are about to approach Salamis Island.
And Salamis Island is under the protection of Whitebeard. Due to the actions of the Navy to capture the Dragon Hunter Pirates, the island is now severely damaged. Under such circumstances, no one can guarantee that the enraged Whitebeard Will he attack the injured Yellow Ape? If Whitebeard is cruel and directly kills a general of the navy, the whole world will be shaken!
The consequences were too serious, and the plan to catch the Dragon Hunter Pirates was no longer feasible. Ian and the others held on and persisted, so the only one who took a step back was the navy.
With the order to retreat from the Navy headquarters, the navy on the island began to retreat to the port in an orderly manner. The guards of the Principality of Salamis chased them all the way, but rationally they did not chase too hard.
The retreating navy soldiers naturally saw the members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates at the port, but although they gritted their teeth, they were helpless. Many people had seen the battle between Ian and the yellow monkey in mid-air before, which made the navy soldiers They are also afraid of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, knowing that they are not ordinary pirates, and now under the retreat order, they dare not attack the Dragon Hunter Pirates rashly and cause more trouble.
While watching the navy soldiers retreat, Ian also told the members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates not to attack them.
After a big battle like this, the Dragon Hunter Pirates are actually quite injured. The navy soldiers have an absolute advantage in numbers. Although the Dragon Hunter Pirates are not weak in combat power, injuries are still inevitable. , the shield in Saldin's hand has been smashed by the navy's mortars. He at least blocked dozens of mortar shells for his partners in the pirate group. He was panting heavily and was covered in scars. .
The same is true for Doruni and the others. Anyway, almost all the people who can fight in the entire pirate group are injured at this time. Under such circumstances, even if Ian does not confess, they will not take the initiative to provoke the navy.
However, the navy that retreated to the port still encountered trouble, and this trouble was Fire Fist Ace!
Ian had told Ace before that he was asked to grab a warship and come back. Ace naturally had nothing to say, but how could the Navy let him easily take the ship
After jumping on a warship, Ace has been fighting against the tide of naval soldiers. He came to help Ian by himself before, so he didn't know that Whitebeard was coming soon. He kept guarding Looking at the warship, I felt that this was the hope for Ian and his pirate group to escape, and we must guard it.
This caused Ace to see Ian and Kizaru fighting, although he wanted to help Ian, but in the end he chose to guard the ship after seeing that Ian was fighting with Kizaru inextricably.
And when the navy started to retreat, more navy soldiers came. Ace didn't know what happened, so he could only grit his teeth and hit the navy with full firepower.
The injured Kizuru was supported by Zhan Taomaru, and when he retreated to the port, he saw this scene.
"Fire Fist Ace..." Kizuru naturally knew Ace's name, seeing the navy soldiers being bombarded by him with a large group of flames from the boat, Kizuru originally wanted to do it himself.
However, at this moment, he saw the fleet of the Whitebeard Pirates on the sea.
And in the sky, a big bird that was also burning with flames, dragging three flaming tail feathers, was flying towards here. The yellow ape knew that it was the phoenix Marco...
Time was running out, and if he didn't sail again, the navy's warship would be blocked in the port by the Whitebeard Pirates, so the yellow monkey thought about it and gave the navy soldiers an order to abandon the warship.
If they retreated like this, the navy would be able to withdraw from the port in time, but at this moment, Zefa found that his two students were missing!
"Where are Ain and Binz!?" Zefa anxiously asked the members of the pirate guerrillas under him.
After learning that Ain and Binz were taken to the warship by Fire Fist Ace and a woman dressed as a strange maid from the Dragon Hunter Pirates, Zefa immediately quit!
Right now, he is about to lead the pirate guerrillas to rush to the warship where Ace is, trying to snatch his students back.
In the eyes of Huang Yuan, this is simply unreasonable. At this time, the pirate guerrilla team has not been established for a long time. Although Ain and Binz are Zefa's right and left hands, according to their military ranks, they are at most two captains. For the sake of the two captains, did Zefa want all the navy to stay here and be surrounded by the Whitebeard Pirates?
Not only that, the faint pain from the wound reminded Huang Yuan that he was injured by the Hailou stone bullet left by Zefa again, and there was a feeling of new and old hatred coming together.
"Teacher Zefa, if you still want to continue fighting Fire Fist Ace, I won't stop you!" Kizuru said to Zefa with a cold face: "But I will take the rest of the navy soldiers to evacuate first!"
"Borsalino! You..." Zefa was so angry that he couldn't imagine that the yellow ape would jump out at this time and say such a heartless sentence.
The conflict between Zefa and Huangyuan has a long history. Although the two of them still maintained a basic harmony on the surface, at this moment, it finally broke out!
"Those are my students!" Zefa yelled at the yellow ape: "I brought them here, so I have to take them away as well!"
"Then teacher, do you mean that for the sake of the two of them, all the navy soldiers should be left here and be wiped out by the Whitebeard Pirates!?" Kizaru quarreled with Zefa unceremoniously: "Your student They can be regarded as members of the navy. Even if they fall into the hands of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, as long as they send a note, the Dragon Hunter Pirates may not necessarily treat them. They are just two people. Compared with so many navy soldiers Which one is more embarrassing to be captured by the Whitebeard Pirates!?"
"Is this just a matter of shame or not!?" Zefa roared, "Is the face of the Navy more important than the lives of my students!?"
The quarrel between the two made the naval soldiers around them shudder, and they didn't dare to speak at all.
After staring at Zefa and Kizaru for a while, Zefa finally said: "Borsalino, I never liked you as a student, you are too elusive, since you want to leave, then go away !"
Zefa took a step back and said, "My people and I have always advanced and retreated together!"
Hearing these words, in the ears of the pirate guerrilla members, they felt an unprecedented emotional agitation, and even shouted in unison: "Advance and retreat together!"
Seeing this scene, Huang Yuan didn't feel infected at all, but shook his head in his heart. Huang Yuan's philosophy has never been different from that of Zefa. He will only choose to look at the problem as a bystander, and then put himself in the The most favorable side, so he couldn't understand Zefa's character and thoughts.
"In that case, I wish Teacher Zefa good luck!" Huang Yuan said.
Because Ace snatched a warship, he finally took away the sailors of six warships, while Zefa and the pirate guerrilla soldiers of his three warships stayed and continued to attack Ace's defenders. He wanted to attack the warship that was on board and find Ain and Binz.
Ace is an idiot. When he brought Binz back, he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Binz, a ninja, was really interesting. He wanted to capture Binz and bring him back to show Whitebeard a show. If possible, he even wants this ninja to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
It's like the feeling of a son acting like a baby to his father. Ace himself didn't realize this. Want to help Whitebeard.
Perhaps his idea of making Whitebeard the Pirate King in the future started from this moment...
