In a certain sea area of the New World, the alarm was sounding continuously on the Marine Fleet, and all the people on board the entire fleet were in action, hoisting sails, loading cannons, and quickly moving things, all in a hurry.
The crews on several supply ships responsible for transporting supplies to the periphery of the fleet were completely confused.
"Hey, what's happening? Is there an enemy attack?" they asked, grabbing a passing Marine from the side.
"You guys are from the supply team, right? Get ready for shelter. According to the intelligence, the enemy is about to enter our alert range."
"Huh?"
Several members of the supply team were puzzled. With their fleet, which included powerhouses like Hawk and Sengoku, what kind of enemy could make them so nervous?
"The consecutive alarms indicate that the situation is serious," said the Marine, wearing a uniform with the rank of warrant officer.
"According to the intelligence from the reconnaissance team, the Flying Pirate Crew, led by Shiki and Charlotte Linlin, has appeared in the sea area 20 miles away from us. Given the nature of the Flying Pirate Crew, if we don't defeat them, we won't be able to support Garp's team. Additionally, besides Shiki and others, we're facing the Lunaria Tribe's chief and the Lunaria Tribe Battle Team."
Looking at the intelligence, Zan told Sengoku and Hawk.
"The Lunaria Tribe? Are they seeking revenge against the World Government too?" Hawk, tall and slim, picked up the intelligence report.
"Yes, it's troublesome. Though the Lunaria Tribe has poor reproductive abilities, their individual combat strength is terrifying, even approaching that of a vice admiral. Plus, their Lunaria Tribe Battle Team, comparable to elite vice admirals, makes it quite challenging."
"Yeah, it's true. The lack of anti-aircraft combat capabilities puts us at a big disadvantage in this battle."
Zan's expression turned serious. Regardless of whether it was Shiki's Flying Pirate Crew, Charlotte Linlin, or the Lunaria Tribe, they all had excellent aerial combat abilities.
"Lunaria Tribe?"
Listening to Zan and Hawk's conversation, Sengoku looked confused. He doubted if he was a fake vice admiral. Why didn't he know about these things?
Although he was called Sengoku the buddha, it didn't mean he was ignorant.
"It's normal that you don't know Sengoku. After all, this tribe is considered confidential within the World Government," Zan explained, then continued, "Also, it's confirmed now that the World Government has reached an agreement with the giants of Elbaf. They won't help either side and have chosen to remain neutral. However, the only problem is whether the world government has the ability to deal with Rocks. If they can't deal with Rocks, we can't win this war."
Zan said it seriously. In his view, the core of the entire Rocks Pirate Crew was Rocks. As long as Rocks was dealt with, this internally divided pirate crew would naturally dissolve on its own. If Rocks couldn't be dealt with, everything would just talk. Moreover, the main issue was that, given the current situation, it was very difficult for them to deal with Rocks' main members, including Whitebeard, Shiki, Charlotte Linlin, and even Nicholas, without paying a considerable price.
"Captain Hawk, Vice Admiral Zephyr has sent a message!"
Seeing the message sent by Admiral Zephyr, Hawk's mood also became heavy. The East Sea Fleet was completely destroyed, and the G5 Branch's main force was depleted. It could be said that the losses were severe. The only good news was that Vice Admiral Zephyr's main force could support Garp's team in time.
"Bzzzz"
"Here it comes!"
Turning around and feeling the imposing Haki released from three people in front, Zan's glasses flashed with a cold light. Then, a surge of Haki, no less inferior, directly rushed towards the three imposing Haki.
The collision of Haki directly caused changes in the celestial phenomena, dark clouds covering the sky, and thunder flashing. Lightning bolts constantly appeared between the two sides, forming a spider web of destruction.
The battle was about to begin.
…
The New World, God valley!
Due to the Celestial Dragons, this island held a different status in this sea area. At this moment, however, the island was engulfed in the flames of war. Battles were happening everywhere on the island, with shouts and killings echoing, as if the island could collapse and sink into the sea at any moment.
Thunder and lightning flashed, the entire sky was dark, and the surrounding sea roared, giving off a sense of oppression. People with weak wills might even wet their pants before getting close.
The sky collapsed, thunderous roars echoed, and the sky above was filled with oppressive dark clouds, with rolling thunderbolts occasionally crashing down into the sea, creating a desolate atmosphere.
With a closer look, multiple battlefields were visible on the island at this moment. Among them, the central part of the island, the location of the God valley, had two figures leaving a trail of afterimages in the air. Each collision was like two meteorites colliding, with shockwaves emanating from the center, creating concentric circles of pressure. The dense, black-red thunderbolts formed a spider web of destruction, destroying everything.
If the battlefield were divided into three layers, this would undoubtedly be the core battlefield. Outside were the battlefields of top-tier forces, and the outermost layer was for the small fry.
Suddenly, a stream of light fell from the sky, and the surrounding ground was shattered by the impact, with cracks spreading in all directions. A deep, tens of meters-deep, giant basin formed.
When the dust settled, a figure appeared in the center of the huge basin.
At this point, his clothes were already tattered, revealing a muscular body filled with explosive power. He wiped away the blood from his forehead and looked at the figure lying at the edge of the basin.
"It's been a long time since I've met such strong fists."
Garp smiled and said, Although he was suppressed in the battle, such a battle could make people's blood boil, right?
"You're not bad either. I would call you the strongest in armament haki and martial arts! So, how about joining me in overthrowing this corrupt world government and those disgusting celestial dragons?" Rocks stood at the edge of the basin, looking at Garp in the center, extending a sincere invitation.
"Forget it. Although I'm not happy with those guys from the World Government, for ordinary people, even the worst order is better than no order at all."
