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

Chapter 178 The Real Marineford War!
The battle reached a fever pitch from the very beginning.

There is no such thing as temptation.

From the very beginning, all of Monger's top-tier combat forces were deployed.

"They are former members of the White Wolf Pirates!"

"That's... Cunning Roya!? Why is he so young!"

"And there's also Lily the Rose!"

"."

Among the veteran crew members still in the White Wolf Pirates, Roya is about the same age as Mongo. Originally, due to the battle with the Sphinx five years ago, Roya's combat strength had completely fallen from the top tier.

However, after Stussy used his Devil Fruit ability to create youth hormones and regain his youth, Roja's strength returned to the level of the top five in the White Wolf Pirates.

"Although I should make way for the newcomers when I get older, I don't want to miss such a big event just because I'm too old!"

In this era, a great pirate with a bounty of over 100 million is equivalent to an elite vice admiral in the Navy, while a pirate with a bounty of over 200 million is only handled by a Navy admiral or an admiral candidate.

So, when Roja transformed into a beast and began to run across the battlefield...

For a moment, it was as if we were in an empty place!
"Damn it, is anyone able to stop him?"

"Where is Lieutenant General Ross?"

"We've been stopped by the great pirate Morian!"

"."

The situation, which had just begun to improve, took a sharp turn for the worse in an instant. As the battle began, the lack of a generational gap in the navy's high-level combat capabilities was immediately exposed.

For this war, the navy has gathered one hundred strong men at the vice admiral level.

However, among these hundred people, there are vice admirals who have reached the level of great pirates.

There are fewer than twenty people!
There is only one candidate for a general with a budget of 200 million.

This ocean is very cruel.

The strong decide everything; the strong define everything.

The Navy has always relied on its numerical advantage in top-tier combat power to suppress the enemy. Even now, while Munger can fight two admiral-level powerhouses at the same time, he cannot fight three or even four.

This is the advantage the navy has in top-tier combat power.

But the reverse is also true.

In a one-on-one fight, Glindwin could defeat Newgate in two or three moves, but when he can't win in one move, it means that someone of Newgate's caliber can now pose a threat to him.

If one isn't enough, then two; if two aren't enough, then three.

Share the damage and the pressure, even when you've lost the initiative.

Newgate, Lipley, and Lingling.

This put pressure on a general-level powerhouse in the CP organization.

If the Navy or the CP organization could spare resources to help Grindelwald share the burden at this moment, then the trio's current advantage would be instantly shattered.

pity.

The White Wolf Pirates also have more than a dozen powerful pirates here.

Meanwhile, the navy is already stretched thin.

"What, is that all? Don't make me laugh. With your current strength, what can you possibly use to fight me?"

Monger's arrogant voice echoed through the air above the port of Akropolis from time to time, and his voice alone was enough to invigorate all the pirates.

"Haha, so this is the navy? It's nothing special!"

"I thought I was going to die."

"Haha, were you also dragged here by your bastard captain? That bastard captain doesn't care about the lives of us subordinates at all, just to regain his youth!"

"."

Of the tens of thousands of pirates gathered by Monger, almost half did not come willingly. They were only dragged here to risk their lives because their captain or some important figure on the ship needed Monger's youth potion and pure gold.

They hadn't even expected to make it back alive.

After all, this is a direct confrontation with the Navy, a fight against the Navy, and a fight against the World Government!

The World Government has ruled this world for eight hundred years.

The navy has stood in this world for eight hundred years!
Over the past eight hundred years, this sea has seen many legends that could rival the Navy, and countless top-tier pirates who could fight against Navy Admirals. Many of them have left a significant mark on history.

However, eight hundred years have passed, and the World Government still rules the world, and the Navy still dominates the seas.

and so.

Even though Monger is currently at the height of his power, in the eyes of many pirates, provoking the World Government and the Navy is no different from courting death.

Pirates, who live on the edge of death, are very good at hiding their fear.

They would numb themselves with alcohol.

They never expected that this war, which seemed to have little chance of being won, would actually gain the upper hand from the very beginning.

Especially Monger's rivals.

The old man in the white suit was being whipped around like a top by Meng Ge.

See this scene.

The pirates' spirits were further boosted.

Monger was right. Regardless of whether the pirates under his command were a rabble or not, as long as he was still standing and fighting.

Their morale is unlikely to collapse!

"Damn it!"

Facing Monger alone reminded Stephens of the fear he felt when Monger severely injured him in Mary Geoise; that near-death experience was like drowning, and he never wanted to experience it again.

"Lord Lucas, please help! I can't hold on much longer!"

If it weren't for his immortality, he would have been torn to pieces by Monger long ago.

Even with his immortality, Stephens' recovery speed slowed down as Monger continued to pour Conqueror's Haki into his body, and it seemed that the mark of immortality was about to be forcibly erased by Monger.

"waste!"

Having his existence exposed by Stephens beforehand, Lucas Saint, the commander-in-chief of the Knights of God, looked displeased. He didn't care whether Stephens lived or died; he only cared about whether his plan would succeed.

However, even if Stephens didn't speak, Lucas Saint knew that he couldn't delay any longer.

The navy has fallen into a complete disadvantage.

The White Wolf Pirates seem to be deliberately targeting the strong members of the Navy and CP organization. Once a large number of high-ranking officers of the Navy and CP organization are lost, it will be too late for him to make a move.

Quantitative change can lead to qualitative change!

A pirate with a bounty of 200 million cannot defeat an admiral-level powerhouse, but what about three? Even an admiral-level powerhouse would be restrained by them.

The same reason.

Three pirates with a bounty of 100 million can hold back a potential admiral with a bounty of 200 million, allowing the extra strongman to go to a higher-level battlefield.

The White Wolf Pirates do not have as many top-tier fighters as the World Government.

But they have enough secondary powerhouses!

The entire port of Akroppolis was turned into a complete mess.

This is completely different from battles between mortals.

In mortal warfare, thousands of arrows are fired and thousands of horses gallop. But in a world where mountains are split and rocks are shattered, true war means that even this island risks being completely destroyed.

Harald vs. Ortega.

The giant, as large as a mountain, wielded his longsword, and everyone near Harald, friend or foe, was caught in his attack.

A few years ago, Harald was only at the level of an ordinary admiral, but the successive battles have caused his strength to increase dramatically.

He already possessed Conqueror's Haki.

After sparring with Monger multiple times, Harald has successfully mastered the Conqueror's Haki technique, taking another solid step on the path to becoming a top-tier powerhouse.

Therefore, even Ortega, known as the Navy's most powerful admiral, was unable to suppress Harald and could only fight with all his might. "Sever the Void!"

The concentrated punch slammed into Harald's longsword, and the powerful collision generated a terrifying shockwave. The weaker marines and pirates couldn't even stand up in the shockwave.

To survive, you have to get away from this battlefield.

However, not far away, the battle between Dorry, Brogy, and Sora was equally intense.

They are both giants.

Dorry and Brogy don't have the same strength as Harald.

After deciding that they would fight against the air force.

The two of them immediately transformed into their most suitable forms for fighting against Sora.

Human body size!
The two of them even spent a month getting used to it.

So, Kong was facing two enemies who were about the same size as him, but whose speed was far inferior to his, yet whose strength was absurdly great.

Although he was no match for the individual.

However, decades of tacit understanding have made Dorry and Brogy's cooperation seamless.

Even among generals, Kong wouldn't be considered weak.

Facing the two, he had no way to break through in the short term.

"Crackling sound, how about that? This time it wasn't a sneak attack!"

"Hehehehe, let's just gang up on them!"

"There's no need to talk about morality when dealing with enemies who invade our homeland!"

"That's right!"

The three of them were not as powerful as Harald and Ortega, but judging from the ground beneath their feet that kept crumbling like tofu, it was clear that getting close to them would also be a death sentence.

There's also the battle between Takiichi Amatsuki and the new Admiral, Hines Oran.

One side wields a sword, while the other is surrounded by endless ice.

"Why are samurai from Wano Country here?"

"Hehe, since the rise and fall of the Tianyue family depends on that man alone, I have no choice but to go all out!"

The remaining samurai of Wano Country sought Monger's help but were turned away. Knowing they were in the wrong, they had no choice but to wait until they learned that Monger was preparing to wage war against the World Government. So they volunteered to join the war.

In order to demonstrate his value to Munger.

It was also to seek revenge against the World Government!

far away.

Compared to when he first met Munger, Shimotsuki Kozaburo was much less cynical and much more composed.

Although he liked sword making.

But if the sword is forged, no one will use it, and no one will appreciate it.

That would be pointless!
He wanted to escape Wano Country, but when Wano Country truly no longer bound him...

He began to reminisce about the past.

There's nothing he can do right now.

Only fight!

Next up is the battle between Yoruru, Yaruru, Elephant Mountain, and Portman Nissen.

This battlefield can be described as a war between the elderly.

Whether it's Yoruru, Yaruru, Elephant Mountain, or Portman Nissen, they've all gotten old and entered their twilight years.

However, Yoru and Yaru have the secret to youth.

Elephant Mountain and Portman Nissen can only rely on their past capital.

Both were at their peak.

Yoru and Aruru are no match for the two former admirals.

But that's enough to deal with two old men!

The two well-coordinated giant heroes completely restrained Elephant Mountain and Portman Neeson, the two flag bearers and minds of the navy.

However, Elephant Mountain and Portman Nissen dared not let the two old giants run wild.

Because of a moment of carelessness.

"Hegemony!!!"

Their combined attack left wounds once again on the already scarred island.

"Pop pop pop pop pop, that was so satisfying! It's been so long since I've had such a great fight!"

"Bah bah bah, after this battle is over, I'm going to go to the tavern and brag to those kids who missed it."

The two giant elders laughed heartily.

Out of trust in Monger, the giants mobilized over a thousand soldiers for this war, including more than a dozen giants of pirate caliber, making it a battle that risked the fate of their nation.

Therefore, the giants could be seen everywhere in the port of Akroppolis.

The battles of the strong are seen by the weak as gods unleashing their power. Even though the navy has assembled elite soldiers from all over the world, they are still considered "monsters" by ordinary people.

But in the eyes of these elites, those top-tier fighters who are currently engaged in battle are the real monsters!

It was like the Marineford War of later generations.

To save his beloved adopted son, Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, disregarded his injuries, illnesses, and old age, and launched a desperate war against the Navy.

That battle nearly sank the entire Marineford!
Although the war instigated by Monger was not the Marineford War, its intensity was even greater than that of the Marineford War.

after all.

Of the Whitebeard Pirates during the Marineford War, the only truly formidable member was the aging Whitebeard himself. While the other division commanders were also strong, they were still some distance from being truly top-tier.

Just like Newgate and Lipley today.

Unlike the Whitebeard Pirates, Monger was not only at the peak of his life, but he also brought not only his own crew, but also allies from the Giant Kingdom, and a large number of pirates who were willing to risk their lives for him in order to regain their youth.

Therefore, even though the current naval force is not much weaker than the naval force assembled during the Marineford War.

They were still at a disadvantage against Monger's White Wolf Pirates.

Release water?

nonexistent!

The navy is now doing everything in its power, but it is unable to gain any advantage.

This is the real Marineford War!

Go all out!

A bloody battle!

The entire port of Akroppolis, spanning over ten kilometers in diameter, was almost half engulfed in war, shattered in the battles between the powerful.

The journalists responsible for taking photos hid in the back.

His body was shaking.

This is real war, this is a battle powerful enough to influence the course of the world!
Although not much time has passed.

However, judging from the situation, the White Wolf Pirates actually have the upper hand.

Keep going like this.

The White Wolf Pirates might even win!?
Before the war started, who would have thought it would end like this?
But it has been able to stand at the top of the world.

The world government has never relied on a single violent institution as its navy.

In the case of the navy being at a disadvantage.

The Knights of God.

It finally appeared!
