Arrest... Gol D. Roger!?
As the voice of the military phone bug Gang Gu Kong fell, all the navy present were suddenly startled, and their expressions changed drastically.
Gol D. Roger!
The top man who truly stands at the pinnacle of this sea, the man who is known as one of the Three Legendary Pirates along with Whitebeard and Golden Lion!
Although compared to Golden Lion and Whitebeard, Roger does not have a large-scale pirate fleet, and the number of crew members is very small, every crew member under his command is a well-known strong man on this sea... The Roger Pirates are the most balanced Iron Wall Pirates among the three legendary pirate groups!
Did you hear that? I'm sorry, but it seems my escort can only go so far.
Dragon hung up the phone call. The smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by deep solemnity.
Where is the nearest island to us?
He looked at the navigator of the warship.
The navigator saluted:
Report to Rear Admiral Dragon, about half an hour northeast, there is a transit supply island for the route.
Dragon nodded and said:
Then set off immediately towards the island... This is an order from the headquarters. You should have no objections, right?
His eyes moved towards Gion and Kake.
When Dragon became serious, his words were undeniably domineering. How could he still be as silly as he was not long ago?
Gion and Kake looked at each other and shook their heads in silence.
Not to mention that this was a direct order from Navy Fleet Admiral Cyborg Kong. Regardless of the order, the great pirate Roger was not something they could deal with at this moment.
They knew this very well.
Participating in an action hastily will lead to death if you are not careful.
In fact, there is an unwritten rule circulating within the Navy against powerful pirates such as Roger, Golden Lion, and Whitebeard.
Big pirates will be the responsibility and handled by specific generals or general-level combat forces of the same level.
In other cases,
If an officer below the rank of general receives no orders from his superiors and accidentally encounters Roger and others' pirate ship at sea, he can adopt an appropriate avoidance strategy and then report directly to his superiors without any punishment for this.
This is to avoid unnecessary sacrifices as much as possible.
What about you, Darren?
Dragon's eyes finally fell on the Commodore, staring at him with burning eyes.
Although you have fought against Waldo, known as the Destroyer of Worlds, and survived in his hands, you should know...the reason why Waldo died in the North Sea in the end was due to luck. Big ingredients.
This time is different from the crusade against Waldo. The Ward Pirates are only supported by Waldo alone, but the Roger Pirates are full of strong men and talented people.
Darren, it's still too early for you to fight at this level.
Hearing this, Gion and Kake also nodded secretly in agreement and looked at Darren.
However, somehow, looking at Darren's excessively calm expression, the two of them always had some not-so-good premonitions in their hearts.
It's indeed a bit early.
Unexpectedly, Darren agreed with Dragon's point of view and nodded.
But at the moment when the two in Gion breathed a sigh of relief, Darren laughed inexplicably.
The corners of his mouth raised, and the more he smiled, the stronger the evil look in his eyes became.
But I still want to go.
——Are you crazy!?
When Gion and Kaki heard this, they both exclaimed. He felt a bottomless chill welling up from the soles of his feet, spreading up his spine and into his forehead. It's not because of anything else, but they know Darren's character very well. That's what this guy has decided; no matter what happens, or who it is, it can't change it!
"Hey, hey, hey... Darren, that's Gol D. Roger! Not the little pirates you met in the North Sea... Although Waldo is powerful, he and Roger, compared to that, are still far behind!!" Kake took a step closer and spoke to Darren in a low voice with a nervous look on his face.
"Oh?" Darren raised his eyebrows.
Gion also whispered in a cold sweat, "There are some things you don't know, but that guy Roger is not something we can deal with for the time being." She gritted her teeth. "The Battle of the Valley of Gods... do you know?"
Gion and Kake were different from the rest of the navy on the ship. They knew better than anyone what the name Gol D. Roger meant—extremely dangerous! And all this horror comes from a place name—Valley of the Gods.
Although the relevant information about that war has been completely blocked by the world government and the navy's top brass, determined to be buried in the dust of history, with the background and talents of Gion and Kake, they naturally have more or less an understanding of the details of that shocking and mighty war.
The Battle of the Valley of the Gods took place eight years ago. Before that war, there was a name on this sea that once terrified the world's governments and navies—Rocks D. Gibek.
Gion and Dragonexchanged glances, and after confirming that the latter did not stop him, he continued, "Rocks was the Conquerer of the sea more than ten years ago. With his immense strength and ambition, he recruited a group of powerful subordinates. It is even said that the pirate Whitebeard, the golden lion Shiki, as well as the notorious Kaido and Big Mom, were all once crew members of Rocks.
As the power of his subordinates continued to expand, Rocks' ambitions also grew. He wanted to become the king of the world and was openly hostile to the world government. Eight years ago, he launched a crazy attack on the settlement of the world's noble Celestial Dragons. The attack..."
"So the Battle of the Valley of the Gods broke out. Facing the menacing Rocks Pirates, the Navy assembled a large force and joined forces with the then-famous newcomer Pirate Roger to form a temporary alliance. Vice Admiral Garp joined forces with Roger in that war to end Rocks' raging ambitions. He became a god in one battle and took on the nickname Hero."
"Let me put it this way, do you understand? Roger is so powerful and terrifying that we cannot compete with him at all... He is recognized by the Navy Headquarters as the most difficult enemy."
It was precisely because she understood the crazy character of Darren that Gion had no choice but to speak out to dissuade him, looking worried. She was not afraid of dying for justice, but it was meaningless to die in vain knowing that she was outmatched.
Although she hated Darren, the scum of the navy, in her heart, she could not just watch Darren die.
But both Gion and Kake forgot something.
"Well, you all make sense," Darren grinned broadly. "But what you said makes me want to go even more..."
Gion was stunned immediately. Kake covered his face in pain.
