I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 129 The Knights of God!
In each era, the strength of the powerful figures emerging on the sea varies.

Sometimes strong.

Sometimes weak.

Even among top experts at the same level, there are differences in strength.

Ortega was simply the strongest general of this era.

Because what he was comparing was only Sora, who had just become a Marine Admiral, and Rona, who had little room for advancement after becoming a Marine Admiral.

Even General Xiwen.

Seeing Ortega being sent flying by Monger, Kong's expression changed drastically. Although he had vaguely felt during his sparring with Ortega that Monger was stronger than Ortega.

After all, Ortega could suppress either him or Rona, but facing both of them at the same time, he probably wouldn't even have the power to fight back.

But what about Munger?

The battle at Elbaf was a nightmare for Kong.

Monger fought against three opponents and held out for an hour.

In the end, he even ran away in front of the three top naval warriors.

So no matter how much it boosts someone else's prestige.

Kong still felt that compared to Ortega, Montgomery of Elbaf was stronger.

But how does he feel?

Compared to the Elbaf period, only a year and a half has passed.

Has Mongols gotten stronger again?

Although he has also become stronger, the extent of his improvement is clearly not as great as that of Munger. Is he the younger one or is Munger the younger one?
You, a seventy-year-old man, can still keep getting stronger.

Is this reasonable?

"Haha, Sora, you've always been the one getting ganged up on by your navy, now it's time for you to taste what it's like to be ganged up on!"

"Dongli, Brogy, let's finish this quickly!"

Having failed to injure Kong with the Overlord's Kingdom technique immediately, Kong is now recovering and is holding his own even when facing two opponents.

It even subtly suppressed Dorry and Brogy.

It's conceivable that if the Overlord hadn't pressed his face so close to Kong at the beginning, forcing him to expend a lot of Haki for defense, Kong would be in even better shape now, and might have already suppressed Dorry and Brogy.

Therefore, neither Dorry nor Brogy refused when they heard that Monger was offering to help.

"Hehehehe, after all, he is a Marine Admiral. The Marine Headquarters is right next to us. We don't have much time to get entangled with a Marine Admiral."

"Alright, alright, I'll leave it to you then. Let's go together!"

The combined aura of the three men pressed down, causing Kong to catch his breath.

'General Xiwen, please come back soon!'

Sora inwardly groaned. He could barely suppress Dorry and Brogy in a one-on-one fight, but with Monger added to the mix, he would be killed by Monger in no time.

In the distance, Ortega, who had been slashed away by Monger, lay on the ground.

"That old man is a monster!"

Monger's strike wasn't enough to seriously injure him; it merely sent him flying. The purpose was clear: to prevent him from providing support to Kong.

"The young man is probably in for a rough time."

After all, Kong's strength was inferior to his; even he couldn't defeat Monger, let alone Kong facing the combined attack of Monger and two giant captains.

but.

"Those old men in Mary Geoise probably won't just stand by and do nothing, will they?"

If it were just Monger alone, then even if he and the two admirals Kong joined forces, they could at least repel Monger, if not capture him.

The problem is that Monger has also found two powerful giants to help him this time.

suddenly.

Ortega looked up at the top of his head.

His top-tier Observation Haki allowed him to detect the anomaly in the air.

Ortega couldn't help but laugh.

"Those old men really couldn't sit still anymore!"

After all, Monger's strength is undeniable. If Monger kills a Celestial Dragon and escapes unscathed, what will become of the World Government's reputation?
"King Kong, don't die!"

Taking a deep breath, Ortega got up from the ground again and charged towards Island 47, where they had just fought.

Less than half a minute passed between when he was knocked away and when he returned to the battlefield.

But it only lasted half a minute.

"The Land of Frost!"

Monger's half-werewolf body fell from the sky, freezing the empty body in place with a single slash. Then Dorry and Brogy raised their swords and axes again.

"Hegemony!!!"

Using the Overlord's Kingdom twice in one battle is a considerable burden, even for the giants Dorry and Brogy.

But such a burden is worthwhile!
His body was frozen by Monger, and just as Kong broke free, a huge shockwave crashed into him.

Every cell in my body is screaming in agony.

When Kong first confronted Dorry and Brogy's overwhelming power, he consumed a large amount of Haki, and for a short time, he did not have much Haki left for defense.

The best defense is offense.

There is no way to retreat.

He raised his fist and let out a deafening roar.

"Steel Bone Strike!!"

All his domineering power was concentrated in one punch, and with his own strength, he tore a hole in the storm.

A massive shockwave swept across the entire Sabaody Archipelago.

However, this shockwave was forcibly split in two in the middle.

"Aaaaaaaaahh ...

Faced with a shockwave that could crush everything and destroy a nation.

The void is like the most stubborn stone.

Even when faced with towering waves, his body did not retreat an inch.

far away.

Both Garp and Sengoku were stunned.

The pace of the battle was faster than they expected. At first, Sora and Ortega fought together, but for a long time afterward, either only Ortega was present, or only Sora was present.

In their view, it was entirely due to the despicable means of White Wolf Monge that Sora and Ortega were forced to fight three against one.

Now, only Kong Da Jiang is left on the field!
"Damn it, I'm going to help General Kong!"

Garp roared and clenched his fists, ready to charge toward the battlefield.

"Are you crazy!?"

Warring States quickly stopped him.

"This is a battlefield that we can't even reach right now!"

Let alone getting close.

Even the aftershocks of a battle could easily kill them!
"But."

Garp looked at the battlefield before him with a face full of resentment.

At last.

All I could do was shout it out with all my might.

"General, don't lose!!!"

As Garp shouted, the surrounding naval cadets also shouted back.

"General Air Force, don't lose!!!"

"You're a Marine Admiral!!"

"Don't lose to White Wolf Monger!!!"

"."

The voices of the naval cadets seemed to drown out the deafening roar from the hegemon.

It was transmitted to the unintelligible ears.

Sora was actually on the verge of losing consciousness.

He is not a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user like Mongo. Although he has a strong physique, his body is still made of flesh and blood, and he must use Haki to resist powerful attacks.

Now, his domineering aura is almost exhausted.

With Mongols, Dorry, and Brogy joining forces, it was equivalent to two Marine Admirals attacking him, and he was just an ordinary Marine Admiral at the moment.

Is he about to give up?

But just as he was dying, Sora heard Garp and Sengoku's voices.

I heard the voices of the naval cadets.

Kong suddenly woke up with a start.

He cannot lose, he cannot fall!

Behind him, countless naval cadets were watching him!
They are the hope of the Navy!

He's the future of the Navy! He's a Navy officer; how can he back down when facing pirates?
"I am—a Marine Admiral!!!"

The final burst of power from Kong forcibly tore apart the dominance of Dorry and Brogy.

Anyway, the impact generated when forces collide.

It nearly knocked over both Dorry and Brogy, the two giants.

Munger is having a hard time maintaining his composure.

Are you the main character in some novel or comic?

What did he just see? A group of people were shouting about friendship and bonds, and then, in that situation, Sora actually unleashed his full power.

So I was the villain after all?
No, he was a pirate to begin with, so even if he wasn't a villain, he couldn't be considered a hero either.

"That's all."

Monger stared at the empty space, his expression hardening.

"Since you insist on upholding your so-called justice, then I'll send you on your way!"

There was no stagnation at all.

As the shockwaves released by Donley and Brogy dissipated.

Monger appeared in front of Kong.

One knife fell!

hum!
It's still a clash of Armament Haki.

Ortega isn't dead, how could he just stand by and watch Sora be killed by Monger?
"Kong, well done!"

Ortega said in a deep voice. This was the first time he had acknowledged this admiral who was younger than him and less powerful.

Unlike them, who were corrupt and decadent.

In the empty space, there lies a hope that they lack!
"Ah!"

Monger was well aware of Ortega's emotional fluctuations at that moment.

But he only felt disgusted.

"Protect those who shouldn't be protected, save those who shouldn't be saved, uphold ideals that shouldn't be upheld, and compromise on things that shouldn't be compromised."

"Is this your justice?"

“Stop kidding!!!”

Monger sheathed his sword and turned it into a claw, suddenly rushing in front of Ortega, grabbing his face, and throwing him like a bowling ball, where he collided with Kong, who was already exhausted and unable to move behind him.

Munger felt furious.

People who are willing to stick to their ideals and aspirations at all times.

They're all so lovable that it's hard to dislike them.

But what if their ideals and aspirations were already distorted?
"It's so embarrassing!"

In this atmosphere, a cynical voice suddenly rang out.

"Two admirals, and they can't even take down one pirate."

"What a disappointment!"

A suffocating atmosphere rose over the shattered island, and a figure dressed in classic knightly attire with a longsword at his waist appeared before them.

"White Wolf Mung."

“I am the vice-commander of the Knights of God, Saint Figarando Grandrid.”

The blond man drew his longsword from his waist.

"In the name of God."

"You killed a Celestial Dragon, committing an unforgivable crime."

"Now, judgment descends upon you!"

Sabaody Archipelago Island No. 43.

Hearing the sounds of impact coming from afar, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Although they haven't spent much time together, Tsuru has already considered Garp and Sengoku as friends, and they are too close to the battlefield.

The battle between the Admiral and the White Wolf Mongols was not something newcomers like them could participate in.

And now, she is also facing a crisis.

A large group of naval soldiers had surrounded her and dozens of other slaves. If she wanted to reach the White Wolf Pirates' location, she would have to break through their encirclement.

In other words, she has to fight against the navy that should have been her colleagues in the future!

why?

Shouldn't their navy protect civilians?

Crane had learned that most of the slaves around her were ordinary people captured by human traffickers, and many of them were originally residents of the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Why? Why is the navy helping those human traffickers capture us?"

"I just want to go home!"

"Let us go!"

"."

Many slaves even knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in front of a group of sailors, and even some sailors looked somewhat reluctant.

Only the rear admiral in charge of the arrest remained unmoved.

"Many of these slaves belong to nobles and merchants. If you want to protect them, who will be responsible for the losses suffered by the nobles and merchants?"

The nobles aside, the merchants traveling between various countries are major taxpayers, and a large number of them regularly pay protection money to their navy.

Otherwise, with so many merchant ships and a limited navy, how could they possibly protect the safety of every single one? Of course, whoever pays the most money gets priority protection!
After the slaves were released, the merchants immediately called to complain.

The higher-ups are in a real bind right now.

"Don't let a single one escape, arrest them all!"

The rear admiral said expressionlessly, "We can't interfere with the battle on the admirals' side. Our mission is to capture all these escaped slaves and bring them back!"
But no sooner had he finished speaking than a stone loomed large in mid-air.

It hurtled towards him at an extremely high speed!
"We finally managed to release them, how could you possibly take them back so easily?"

As the ground trembled, Liprit appeared before everyone in her giant form.

"Our White Wolf Pirates' ship is over there. We will take care of rescuing you. Once we are in a safe place, it is up to you whether you stay or go back to where you want to go."

With a bounty of 100 million Berries, the moment Lipriy appeared, the expressions of the naval soldiers surrounding the slaves changed.

"They're members of the White Wolf Pirates!"

"It's the Protea!"

"Major General, Major General Bell, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

"."

The so-called rear admirals of the navy are mostly pirates with bounties between ten million and thirty million. When facing pirates with bounties as high as one hundred million, they are no different from small fry.

So Lipley easily took down the rear admiral with a single blow.

"Everyone, get on the boat quickly!"

In preparation for the upcoming battle, Lingling, whose size had also returned to its original form, swayed as she walked over with a smile on her face.

"We will protect everyone!"

Lingling, who is almost nine years old, has lost a lot of weight compared to when she was six. Although she is still a little chubby, when she smiles, she gives people the feeling of a cute little girl next door.

Upon seeing Lingling, the group of slaves finally lowered their guard.

"Let's listen to them!"

"The White Wolf Pirates saved us, they would never harm us!"

"That's right, the White Wolf Pirates are all good pirates!"

"."

With Lipley and Linlin leading the way, the group of slaves made their way to the Millennium Falcon without any obstacles.

until--

"A group of slaves, are they trying to betray their master and run away?"

"Haha, that won't do!"

An old man dressed in black knight's attire appeared before Lipley and Linlin.

"Silhouette!"

The old man's shadow suddenly extended, instantly enveloping everyone's shadows.

then.

Aside from Lipley and Linlin reacting quickly and dodging.

The old man cut out all the shadows of everyone.

At noon, the sunlight shone down.

Of the dozens of slaves, half were instantly reduced to ashes in the sunlight.

"Huh, it actually dodged it?"

The old man looked at Lipley and Lingling with a smile of great interest.

"It seems your shadows can become my collectibles!"
