Chapter 192 The goal of revenge! Temporary alliance!
Merely using his domineering haki to stun thousands of pirates who were able to make a name for themselves in the new world, compared to shocking two pirate emperors at the same time, it doesn't seem that incredible, especially with the above. Against the background of hundreds of senior combatants who were also shocked.
If the mid-level combatants of the Space Dark Matter Pirates are still suspected of being high-level cannon fodder in the new world, then there is no doubt about the gold content of the high-level combatants.
After all, with a bounty of hundreds of millions of berries, he is considered a big pirate in the new world, but in the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, who only care about combat effectiveness, they may not even be able to reach the threshold of a high-level combatant.
"...Does anyone else have any objections to Lord Poros's arrangement?"
Katakuri, who was also affected by the overlord's domineering energy, turned a little pale, but as he often faced Boros directly, he was quite accustomed to this feeling. After a moment of silence, Katakuri took a deep breath and looked at the man who had woken up. The senior combatants who came over asked.
It was obvious that the previous battle plan came from Boros, but the pirates did not dare to get angry at Boros, so they pretended not to know and vented their anger on Katakuri.
But now that Boros has used actual actions to show who is the real person who made the plan, any further objection would be equivalent to facing Boros' wrath.
The senior combatants looked at each other, all wanting to let others stand out, but they didn't even have the courage to secretly encourage them, so everyone fell into silence.
"According to Lord Boros' arrangement, the main participants in the first round are the Doug Pirates, the Black Pirates, and the Storm Pirates..."
Every time Katakuri on the high platform announced a name, one of the senior combatants' faces turned dark, especially those captains of the pirate group who were not marked on the dome's combat map. They were still taking chances. , but as Katakuri read out their names one after another, he had to hold back in the end to avoid frying.
If you carefully compare the list of teams participating in the four rounds of battle, you will find that since the Space Dark Matter Pirates left Wano, all the large pirate groups that joined them have been incorporated into the first round of combat troops.
This also led to the fact that the first round of combat troops was almost the strongest on paper among the four rounds. It was commanded by more than fifty senior combatants, and more than a thousand intermediate combatants served as the backbone of the combat force. The total force It reached a scale of nearly 100,000 people.
Except for the fact that there are no top strong men to hold the battle, the strength of the first round of combat troops is fully qualified to rival the two pirate emperors who joined forces in the war!
The second and third rounds will be led by the BIGMOM Pirates and the Beasts Pirates respectively, led by the two pirate emperors Charlotte Lingling and Kaido, plus hundreds of subsequent pirates. The large and small pirate groups that have joined each have an astonishing strength of more than 50,000 in each round.
The final fourth round of combat troops had the smallest number of troops, but they were led by Boros himself, obviously preparing to have the final say at a critical moment.
If you want to find faults, this extremely simple "battle plan" is completely full of loopholes. The experienced pirates present can find a hundred problems at any time and still have something to say.
But when the person who formulated it is Boros, no matter how big the problem is, it becomes a small problem, and no matter how many shortcomings it is, it is just a small and insignificant flaw.
"Boss Boros, Esdeath and Tatsumaki don't seem to be included in the battle plan. Can they be allowed to lead us into the battle?"
However, the pirates who have been regarded as cannon fodder by default have obviously not given up their efforts. With their current strength, it is more than enough to attack Mariejoia. The main problem lies in the lack of top-level combat power.
If they can get the support of the two most advanced combatants, Esdeath and Tatsumaki, who are newly arrived, their first round of combat troops may be able to directly capture Mariejoia by themselves.
Thinking of this, the hearts of many pirates became hot. Although selfishness is a characteristic of pirates, when the temptation in front of them has reached a certain level, greed can easily cover their eyes.
"Of course not. Lord Esdeath and Lord Tatsumaki have other missions..."
Before Boros could speak, Katakuri had already rejected the pirates' proposal on his behalf.
Compared to those pirates who just think that Boros wants to use them as cannon fodder, as the person closest to Boros in the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, Katakuri can already vaguely feel that his captain Boros seems to have something more terrifying. purpose.
However, even if Katakuri guessed it, he would not say it. After all, the life and death of the pirates did not matter to him at all. Even the BIGMOM pirates who were incorporated into the second round of combat troops, Katakuri You can also use the power at hand to arrange those weaker brothers and sisters into logistics or other safer positions.
Since Lord Boros acquiesced to his little move, Katakuri would not be ignorant to reveal Boros's ulterior motives.
"Wait a minute, I'm very interested in wars in this world. Can you let me direct this war?"
Esdeath, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke with interest. As early as the war at the top, the female imperial general had been full of interest in the pirate world, a battlefield dominated by the strong.
It's just that Porusalino was only a naval admiral at that time. No matter how much he doted on her, he couldn't hand over the command of the war to Esdeath.
But the current Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates are obviously controlled by Porusalino, the mastermind behind the scenes. Boros, the nominal captain, doesn't care about anything at all. It's really not a problem for Esdeath to want the right to command the battle. .
"This doesn't seem to be in line with the rules..."
Even though the lower half of his face was covered by a scarf, he could still clearly see the hesitant expression on Katakuri's face.
He knew that the new members of Esdeath and Tatsumaki were special, but he was not sure if they were special enough to make Boros change his plan.
"Okay."
However, Boros, who was still deep in thought, casually replied at this time. Even if Katakuri tried hard, he would not have thought that Boros did not care about the future of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates at all, and even he himself could not say that he had any purpose. , all this is just Porusalino's arrangement.
Katakuri, who didn't know this premise, naturally couldn't guess what Boros was thinking. Fortunately, Katakuri, who grew up next to Charlotte Lingling, had long been accustomed to obeying orders. As soon as Boros finished speaking, Katakuri Kuri chose Congxin at the first moment.
"Then the first detachment will be led by Lord Esdeath, and the corresponding supplies and weapons and equipment have been prepared..."
Katakuri spoke with great respect, and at the same time presented the list of members of the first unit with both hands.
Even regardless of Esdeath's special status, her ability to compete with Kaido and her mother is enough to earn Katakuri's respect.
Seeing this scene, the pirates who were assigned to the first round of the battle also breathed a sigh of relief, and soon began to get excited.
Under the leadership of Esdeath-sama, whose strength is comparable to that of the Pirate Emperor, maybe they can really capture Mariejoia on their own. With such a huge contribution, they will be able to distribute the spoils later. Get a big share!
"Heh...you guys, do you want to come under my command?"
Esdeath put away the list provided by Katakuri, then turned to look at Xiao Yan, Xiao Mei and passers-by in the corner.
It’s not that they are expected to be good at fighting, it’s just to sell them well to the people in the chat group.
Esdeath was able to be promoted to become one of the few female generals in the empire in just a few years after joining the army. Esdeath relied not only on her ability to fight, but also on winning people's hearts. Esdeath also had skills that were inconsistent with her appearance and personality. specialty.
Otherwise, there would be no way to make Leva, the former empire general who was once her equal, surrender voluntarily and be so loyal that he would sacrifice his life in order to fulfill Esdeath's orders.
"Hey? I am willing! Boss Esdeath will be our guiding light from now on!"
Passers-by who had legs to hug immediately gave up their remaining moral integrity.
Although theoretically he could return to his own world at any time through the chat group, it would be good to have an extra bit of protection on the upcoming Mariejoia battlefield.
Not to mention that passers-by have long been accustomed to "following the boss and getting meat", so they naturally accepted the olive branch offered by Esdeath without hesitation.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei agreed without much hesitation. Although both passers-by and Xiao Yan have certain self-protection capabilities in their respective worlds, compared to the upcoming offensive and defensive battle of Mariejoia, their strength is still insufficient. Too much.
"What a nasty woman..."
Seeing Esdeath stealing the show, Tatsumaki, who was also the top combatant, groaned in displeasure, but had no intention of standing up.
Although both of them have extremely strong styles when fighting, in terms of their respective personalities, Tatsumaki and Esdeath can be said to be quite different.
This can be seen from the fact that Esdeath actively asked to participate in the war, but Tatsumaki chose to stay out of it.
Just as the world's attention was gradually focused on the holy land of Mariejoia, the red-haired pirates, who had disappeared for a while, quietly came to an uninhabited island in the new world.
"Ahem... The people of the Whitebeard Pirates are not going to let us go, are they?"
The pale Jesus Bu coughed while pouring extremely high-alcohol rum into his mouth. Since he was seriously injured by Porusalino's kick during the battle, Jesus Bu, who used to drink very restrainedly, also had to drink alcohol. Often drank strong alcohol to relieve pain.
"Don't worry, Marco said he would come...has the attack started again?"
Beckman, who had two revolvers stuck in his waist, walked over and threw an unopened bottle of spirits to Jesus.
Since losing his right arm, Beckman has had to replace his usual rifle with two revolvers that are easy to load ammunition. Although the new weapons are not as easy to use as the original 'old buddy', his strength has not decreased after all. Too serious.
"That's it, just enough to drink a few more sips of wine, haha...cough cough cough!"
Jesus laughed out loud without caring, but he couldn't help but cough violently while laughing.
When Jesus Bu, a top sniper, goes all out, even powerful men like the Pirate Emperor and Admiral cannot completely ignore his attacks.
But Jesus Bu's physique was obviously short compared to his amazing attack power. Even if Porusalino's kick to him was not serious, it still caused Jesus Bu an incurable injury.
Fortunately, the red-haired pirates' ship doctors are quite good, otherwise it would be a question whether Jesus Bu would survive until now, and it would be inevitable to leave some sequelae.
"I'll call Hongo!"
Beckman frowned and was about to call the ship's doctor to come over and treat Jesus.
"Ahem...it's useless...I'm going to get hurt sooner or later, don't make that guy from Hong Kong feel uncomfortable..."
Jesus waved his hands. He knew how serious his injuries were. No matter how good his medical skills were, he could not heal the internal organs that were torn apart by the top-level weapon's domineering force.
"...Wait until Marco comes and ask him to help you take a look."
Beckman was silent for a moment, but he still spoke without giving up.
He once thought he could withstand any blow, but after witnessing the deaths of his companions who lived with him day and night during the war at the top, Beckman realized that he was not as strong as he thought.
"Don't worry, before I use this bullet to give Kizaru that kick, I won't fall down that easily!" Jesus Bu held a bullet on the necklace and showed a slightly evil smile.
He had never suffered such a big loss since he went to sea with Shanks. Whether it was for himself or his dead companions, Jesus Bu had made up his mind to take revenge on Polusalino.
Beckman looked at the bullet in Jesus Bu's hand in a daze, but after a moment he recalled that it was the bullet that Lackey Lu did not have time to fire out of the gun during the war.
"...Count me in when the time comes!"
Recalling the voices and smiles of those friends who had left him, Beckman subconsciously took a deep breath and spoke seriously.
"And me!"
"You can't let this happen to me!"
"Of course we, the red-haired pirates, must avenge ourselves together!"
……
As soon as Beckman finished speaking, a group of people suddenly couldn't help but pop up from various places. It's not clear how these guys were hiding in the first place.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
"Hey, hey, hey! We agreed to have a banquet, but all of you ran away! And I am the captain. Of course, I, the captain, must avenge the crew's revenge, right?"
Shanks jumped down from the tree, strangled Beckman's neck with one hand and shook him hard.
He is not a character who can swallow his anger even after suffering a loss. If it weren't for the fact that there has been little movement at the Navy Headquarters since the end of the war, Shanks would have found an opportunity to take revenge.
"Hahahaha, now that everyone is here, let's have a banquet here!"
Jesus laughed and said, adventures and banquets are essential parts of a pirate's life.
"Oh! Let's have a party!"
"I'll bring the wine!"
"Hahaha! Me too!"
……
The pirates of the red-haired pirate group responded loudly with smiles, as if they were not the ones who just issued the 'declaration of revenge'.
"Wait! Everyone is here... Who is responding to the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Beckman looked at Shanks and Jesus with a smile on his face the whole time, but the smile on his face gradually became stiff as he watched.
"Ah?"
Shanks was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Jesus Bu, and then looked at the others. Everyone looked confused.
'boom! ’
At this time, a dazzling fire rose up on the other side of the island, illuminating the uninhabited island shrouded in night.
Shanks couldn't help but screamed when he saw this, and quickly turned around and ran in the direction of the rising fire.
"You big idiots!"
Beckman could only laugh or cry, following Shanks and running towards the other side of the island.
When the red-haired pirates returned to their original camp, the Whitebeard Pirates headed by Ace had been waiting here for a long time. The leader was the current captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ai. Si!
Compared to the Red-Haired Pirates, who lost many soldiers and generals, the Whitebeard Pirates did not suffer much losses in the war on top. The number of lost troops increased a lot after absorbing several pirate groups under its banner.
But Whitebeard's death in battle is an eternal pain for the Whitebeard Pirates. Although Ace has become the captain under Marco's persuasion, neither the flag nor the name of the pirate group has changed!
Ace himself imitated Whitebeard and put on a white trench coat, as if he wanted to keep his father's mark on the Whitebeard Pirates forever.
If Marco hadn't insisted, he wouldn't have even wanted the crew to call him captain. In Ace's view, the Whitebeard Pirates would always have only their father as captain.
"Hey! How rude! You called us all the way here, but there's no one to greet you!"
Looking at Shanks and others who finally appeared, Marco complained angrily.
If it weren't for the fact that they fought side by side in the top war and the red-haired pirates helped break up the queen, they wouldn't have accepted Shanks' invitation so easily to come and meet.
Since the death of Whitebeard, pirates in the new world have begun to covet the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates. The intimidation of Ace, the newly elected captain, is not enough to deter ambitious people. Just meeting with the Red-haired Pirates For a while, we don’t know how many islands will be lost.
"Ahaha, sorry, sorry, something went wrong..."
Shanks did not underestimate the Whitebeard Pirates just because they changed their captain. Although it had only been a few months since the War on the Top, Ace's feelings for Shanks were already obvious at this time. changes.
Perhaps Ace still has a long way to go before becoming a top player, but now he is not much inferior to Marco.
"What do you want from us, redhead?"
Ace spoke very calmly. At this time, he had not completely gotten over the sadness of his father's death, but he had already taken on the important task of captaining the Whitebeard Pirates and became a qualified pirate captain.
"Ah, now there is an opportunity. If you are willing to join, maybe you can take the opportunity to avenge Whitebeard..."
Shanks grinned. Compared to the World Government, which is obsessed with authority, Shanks, as an outsider, was vaguely aware of the looming figure in this change.
If it were Shanks in the past, he would probably be thinking about how to maintain stability on the sea through checks and balances.
But after experiencing the war at the top, and seeing his companions who had been together day and night dying at the hands of Porusalino one by one, Shanks now just wants to settle the score with Polusalino!
For this reason, even if there is some unmanageable mess in the end, Shanks no longer cares, who makes him the most 'free' pirate.
'Bear! ’
Ace's body suddenly burned with blazing fire, and everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates, who had been a little lifeless, raised their heads at the same time.
"...You just said that you have a chance to avenge your father?"
Ace stared at Shanks, and until now he could not forget the sight of his father dying in Marinevando.
What makes Ace blame himself especially is that all of this was entirely because he failed to lose to Blackbeard and finally fell into the hands of the Navy, forcing his father to take the initiative to attack the Navy headquarters to rescue him.
The most hateful thing is that he, the 'culprit', survived, but his father fell on the battlefield of Marinefando.
If Marco hadn't forcibly convinced Ace to inherit the position of captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace would have only tried to find ways to fight against Porusalino.
"Well, but you definitely can't do it on your own...so why don't you join forces and seek revenge from the navy together!"
Shanks reached out to Ace. Although he didn't know the true purpose of Porusalino yet, when he noticed the shadow of Porusalino behind the battle of Mariejoia, Shanks began to prepare to intervene. It's a kick.
"Do you still need to ask this kind of thing? Of course!"
Ace took Shanks' hand without hesitation, without even asking Marco who was standing beside him.
Fortunately, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates didn't have any objections. Even the most cautious Marco just wanted to ask for the details of the opportunity and increase the chance of success to avenge his father as much as possible.
"Then it's a deal! Let's have a banquet to celebrate before we officially set off!"
A smile appeared on Shanks's face again. Even if he loses Whitebeard, the strongest combat power, the Whitebeard Pirates are still one of the strongest pirate groups in the new world.
Coupled with the red-haired pirates he led, no matter what happened to Mary Joa, the arrival of this force was enough to change the final situation.
Once he figures out Porusalino's plan, he can teach that bastard an unforgettable lesson!
"You guys are really persistent about the banquet..."
Ace, who was full of bitterness and hatred just now, couldn't help but complain, but it was normal for pirates to hold banquets before and after the war, so he naturally wouldn't disturb everyone's interest.
Seeing that the leaders of both sides had reached an agreement, the pirates of the red-haired pirate group suddenly cheered.
"Hahaha, let's have a party!"
"You are really energetic...let me help too."
"Speaking of which, we haven't had a banquet in a long time..."
……
The pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates quickly integrated into the joyful atmosphere. Marco wanted to ask for details, but was pulled by Beckman to help examine and treat Jesus Bu's injuries.
As an esper in the form of the Bird Fruit Phoenix, Marco's healing ability is top-notch even in the New World, otherwise he wouldn't make even Kaido covetous.
