"It's over, forget this..."
The corners of Kake's mouth twitched crazily, and he held his head in pain.
"Are you a child!?"
Gion gritted his teeth and said to Darren.
Darren shrugged, ignored these two guys, turned to look at Dragon, and said with a smile, "Rear Admiral Dragon, you can drop off Major Gion and Major Kaki at the nearest island. However, I have decided to set off with the ship. This is my personal decision and has nothing to do with anyone else. If something unexpected happens, I am willing to bear the consequences."
Dragon frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure, Darren? This is no joke. Once a battle breaks out, in such a fierce and urgent situation, there is no way I can guarantee your safety."
Darren smiled and said, "I am sure. And Rear Admiral Dragon, you should know that even if you forcibly throw me on the island, I will still appear on the battlefield... I can fly."
Dragon took a deep look at Darren, his eyebrows tightening. Gion and Kaki stared at him nervously, hoping that Dragon could convince Darren, a lunatic.
One second,
Two seconds,
Three seconds,
"Hahahahaha!! Okay!! Darren, you are truly a man I recognize!!"
In the confused eyes of Gion and Kaki, Dragon, who was silent, suddenly hugged Darren's shoulders and laughed heartily. His expression was excited and thrilling, he cracked his finger bones, making a crackling sound, and said enthusiastically, "Then... let's go kill that guy Roger!!"
That look... looked very much like a certain naval vice admiral. Gion's head was full of black lines. Kake covered his face in pain again. "It's over, forget this..."
Dragon smiled and said to the two of them, "Then I will place you two on a nearby island later. Then you can send a signal, and soon a warship from the nearby navy will be sent to pick you up."
"No, no need!"
Gion's teeth chattered loudly, and these words popped out from between his teeth.
"Oh?"
There was a smile in Darren's eyes.
Kake clenched his fists viciously and growled with red eyes, "Let's go too! Darren has said so, how can the two of us back down!? The Navy is no coward!"
Kake gritted his teeth, glared at Darren, and said angrily, "I knew that sooner or later this genius would die at the hands of a bastard like you!!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!" Dragon laughed again and raised his hand. "In that case... let's go!!"
The warship quickly adjusted its course, heading towards the coordinates given by the headquarters, and heading towards the destination at full speed. Blowing in the oncoming sea breeze, Darren's eyes burst out with an almost crazily burning fighting spirit, and the cape behind him danced wildly.
That's the Pirate King Gol D. Roger! How could he not go!? Looking at the turbulent sea with treacherous clouds and waves in the distance, Darren's mind seemed to echo with a soul-stirring and domineering laughter.
...Do you want my treasure? If you want it, I'll give it all to you! Go find it!! The Great Channel, I put everything in the world there!!
A shocking picture turned from blur to clarity in the deepest part of his brain. The man who stood on the execution platform and faced death, but still laughed boldly! Gol D. Roger, the character who runs through the entire One Piece storyline and ushered in the era of great pirates... Darren doesn't want to miss it no matter what!
He wants to...face the Pirate King!!
…
Two hours later.
The Great Channel.
Countless shells streaked through the air with black tracks, falling towards the Oro Jackson speeding ahead at an alarming speed.
Boom!
Pillars of seawater exploded around the pirate ship, rising into the sky.
Large balls of crimson flames burst high in the sky, emitting a large amount of black smoke.
"Roger!! Don't run away!! I will definitely take care of you this time!!!"
On the bow of the dog-headed warship, Garp, wearing a funny dog-headed hat, rolled up his sleeves, roared angrily, swung his hands like windmills, and threw cannonballs crazily.
"Then don't chase me, Garp! It's over! You've been chasing me for three days and three nights! You bastard, aren't you tired!?"
Roger's slightly irritable voice came from the distant pirate ship.
The sailors on the deck were very busy and sweating profusely.
They hurriedly moved a large number of artillery shells from the cabin and placed them on a special conveyor belt.
Rows of black cannonballs appeared on an assembly line and were continuously delivered to Garp.
Garp's adjutant, wearing a brown hat and a saber hanging from his waist, looked at the situation warily.
He looked at the pirate ship in the distance that was bumping in the waves and explosions, calculated the gradually increasing distance between the two sides, and his brain began to work quickly.
The hull of the Oro Jackson is constructed from the main body of the Adam tree. This material is extremely rare, extremely tough, and very light. It is one of the best shipbuilding materials in the world... bar none.
Because of this special and rare shipbuilding material, Roger's pirate ship Oro Jackson has an extremely fast speed that even a naval warship cannot match!
This is also one of the important reasons why Vice Admiral Garp has chased Roger countless times in the past, but the latter escaped!
No, we must speed up!
If this continues, even with the interference from Vice Admiral Garp's bombardment, it won't be long before Roger's pirate ship completely disappears from their sight.
The adjutant raised his hand and pressed his hat, his eyes quickly scanning the warship, and soon his sharp eyes fell on the warship's heavy guns.
His eyes suddenly lit up!
The warship is equipped with five heavy guns. If the heavy guns and unnecessary baggage are removed, the warship's speed will increase by at least 30%!
The headquarters has already given a positive answer. Vice Admiral Garp's son, Rear Admiral Dragon, will rush to the scene soon. Before that, he will never allow Roger's pirate group to distance themselves from the warship!
"Quick!! Unload all the heavy artillery on the warship and throw it directly into the sea!!"
Garp's lieutenant gave the order simply.
"But... if we remove the barrel, how can we still bombard--"
A young navy soldier said subconsciously, but as soon as he spoke, other navy soldiers looked at him like he was an idiot.
He also reacted instantly, turned around with a red face, and removed the barrel.
"You must bite him hard!!"
The adjutant muttered as he stared at the pirate ship, clenching his fists subconsciously.
As long as the reinforcements arrive, Rear Admiral Dragon's ability can easily stop Roger's pirate ship.
At that time, they will be able to directly launch front and rear double-teams and completely push Gol D. Roger, a great pirate with a long history of crimes, into a desperate situation!
