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

Chapter 207 Proxy War

"That's right, that's it. Use Haki to penetrate the enemy's defenses and use Observation Haki to capture more information. If you can do these two things, the gap between you and me will be very small."

South China Sea, Osgu Island.

While fending off attacks from Garp and Sengoku, Sora also instructed the two. It was only during these spare moments from missions that he had the opportunity to guide his two disciples.

"Ah, damn it!"

After being knocked away by a punch, Garp and Sengoku lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Even when the two of them joined forces, they could barely hold their own against the air.

It was obvious that Sora hadn't used his full strength when facing them.

"For your age, it's already quite remarkable that you've achieved this much."

He sat on a rock to the side and comforted himself.

"When I was your age, I was just an ordinary naval soldier."

Previously, the World Government had very strict requirements for the promotion of civilian naval officers. Without a background and talent, plus a little bit of luck, an ordinary naval officer could only become a field officer at most, no matter how hard they worked their whole life.

In the Navy, however, officers at the field level are just the starting point.

Now, due to the pressure from the White Wolf Pirates, the World Government has lowered the promotion requirements for ordinary marines. The requirement of sufficient merit for promotion has been changed to allow anyone with talent, even without merit, to participate in promotion training.

If you participate in training and improve your skills, wouldn't it be easier to achieve merit?

Therefore, Sengoku and Garp benefited from the era's advantages.

In this era, with the war between the World Government and the White Wolf Pirates always on the verge of breaking out, is gaining power really a good thing?

"By the way, Uncle Kong."

Garp, who was lying on the ground, suddenly turned his head to look at the sky.

Do you still remember the crane?

Upon hearing Garp's words, Sengoku also sat up from the ground, looking at Sora as if he wanted an explanation from him.

They are not children anymore.

Having joined the Navy for five years, they rose from a private to a rear admiral in just five years.

Moreover, because of their achievement of defeating the Rocks Pirates half a month ago, they may even be nominated for promotion to vice admiral soon.

Even a discerning person can see it.

At just over twenty years old, they already possess the strength of an elite vice admiral. Whether it's Garp or Sengoku, their future is limitless.

It's only a matter of time before he becomes a naval admiral.

"."

Upon hearing Garp's question, Sora remained silent for a moment. He raised his head, first looking at Sengoku, and then at Garp.

Garp is impulsive and can't keep his thoughts to himself, but in the last two years, he has been targeting that rookie pirate named Roger and doesn't know much about the current situation of the White Wolf Pirates.

The reason for suddenly asking about cranes is probably due to the Warring States period.

All three were once students at the Naval Academy and had vowed to capture Monger. Now, Garp and Sengoku have become Rear Admirals, while Tsuru has a completely different identity.

The bounty notice was seen three years ago during the Warring States period.

My former comrades from the Naval Academy have turned into pirates.

He was still the intern of the White Wolf Pirates.

The Warring States period held back for three years, and today it finally couldn't hold back any longer.

he thinks.

With their current strength, he and Garp are qualified to know the truth.

Kong remained silent for a long time.

Just as Garp was getting impatient, Kong slowly spoke up: "I know her. This is information known only to a very few people. If you want to know the truth, you must promise not to reveal a single word of what I am about to say."

Upon hearing this, the Warring States' expression immediately became serious.

Garp found it troublesome.

However, because it involved a companion he had once respected, he patiently sat down in place, even though he found it troublesome.

"He is our spy planted in the White Wolf Pirates."

Every time the message is released, it's a major announcement.

"Six years ago, former Chief of Staff Portman Nissen realized that the rise of the White Wolf Pirates was difficult to contain, so he secretly recruited and trained a group of new naval personnel and had them infiltrate the White Wolf Pirates."

"And He is the most successful one."

Although Zephyr, like Tsuru, became a member of the White Wolf Pirates, based on current intelligence analysis, Zephyr is not highly regarded within the White Wolf Pirates. Despite being a member, he can be considered a marginal figure.

However, even marginal figures can play an unexpected role if they seize the opportunity.

The fact that news about Tsuru was revealed today was already an exception, since Sengoku and Garp already knew Tsuru, and given their outstanding strength, they were indeed qualified to know more.

But as a qualified naval admiral, it's impossible for Kong to say everything to his subordinates.

Therefore, revealing information about the crane is enough.

"The White Wolf Pirates are now a major threat to the government. After many battles, you must know that even a Marine Admiral, even I, is no match for that man."

It takes courage to admit one's own weakness, but for Kong, it was more about the helplessness he felt towards his own weakness, because over the past ten years, he had witnessed Munger climb to the top step by step.

He was merely a stepping stone for Monge.

So much so that when facing Monger, he no longer had the courage to confront him head-on, and could only pick up the legacy left by his predecessors.

"So Tsuru went undercover? I thought he'd become a pirate!"

However, Garp didn't care about all that. All he needed to know was that Tsuru hadn't betrayed their past "promise" and was still a member of the Navy.

"Just an undercover agent?"

Sengoku breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing Kong's reply.

Although he felt that Sora hadn't revealed all the information, he could understand Sora's perspective. After all, Tsuru had become a member of the White Wolf Pirates, which was a major secret that could potentially overturn the entire White Wolf Pirates at a crucial moment.

If it weren't for their current strength, Kong definitely wouldn't have leaked the information.

Only emptiness knows.

The reason he didn't reveal more was that he didn't want to see the disappointment in his two disciples' eyes, and he didn't want them to know that in order to gain Monge's trust, he actually made He sell his body.

The crane succeeded.

The timely interception of the Rocks Pirates was thanks to Tsuru's intelligence.

Kong could only console himself.

The crane's sacrifice was worthwhile.

If the White Wolf Pirates are ever destroyed, then Tsuru will definitely be the greatest contributor.

He just felt sorry for his two disciples.

Garp is a hothead.

But people in the Warring States period probably had some affection for cranes.

Sora was unaware that the information he wanted was merely something Monger had deliberately leaked to him by Tsuru. If Im had valued Osko Island enough, even if Tsuru hadn't revealed the information about the Rocks Pirates' attack on Osko Island, Im would have immediately sent the Navy to help.

As for whether Lox will perish on Osgoo Island.

All Monger could say was that the World Government's main force was tied down by him, leaving only a few small fry in the Navy. If Rocks were to capsize, would he be worthy of his strength?
However, although they didn't capsize, they were still defeated.

So Monger had no choice but to personally appear in Mary Geoise to clean up his mess. "Monger!!!"

With a low shout from Im, a huge demonic shadow rose from behind him. Black and red Conqueror's Haki collided in Pangu City. Then, a huge, demonic head smashed half of Pangu City and opened its mouth to bite Monger.

"Haha, I'm getting anxious!"

Sensing the powerful auras rapidly approaching from all sides, Munger had no intention of engaging in battle; the longsword in his hand was wreathed in Conqueror's Haki.

A knife.

"boom--------!!!"

The slash formed by Conqueror's Haki collided with the giant demon summoned by Im. Using the recoil from the collision, Monger retreated rapidly towards the outside of Mary Geoise.

Amidst a thick cloud of smoke, four of the Five Elders and the Figarand father and son finally arrived late, bowing their heads in apology.

"Lord Im!" "Lord Im, are you alright?" "That damned white wolf!"

The group never expected that Munger would actually dare to venture into Pangu City alone and confront Im.

After all, Monger had been in the Sabaody Archipelago for quite some time, and even after going to Mary Geoise, he had only been hovering on the edge.

Therefore, everyone thought that Munger was at most just looking for opportunities on the periphery.

If they don't go to support Jaigolusia Satan, then Munger will definitely not risk his life by venturing into Pangaea.

However, Monger's current actions have proven them wrong.

Unless they eat and sleep together as a group.

Otherwise, once they disperse, Monger might not be able to kill any of them in a short time, but he wouldn't be afraid to just stroll around and show his face in front of them.

But this is the limit of what Monger can do.

“Lox, if you can’t take down Osgu Island by the second attack, then don’t even think about challenging me again.”

Munger relayed the message to Newgate.

After confirming that the scientists on Osgu Island were summoned by Im to replenish the King's energy, Monger's attention to Osgu Island increased to a new level.

His actions, while tying down the main force of the World Government, also signaled to Im that he knew what they were doing.

If Im isn't stupid.

After they can no longer use the power of the Knights of God and the Five Elders, they will then use the power of the Navy and the CP organization.

These powerful individuals were not originally in Mary Geoise, so Monger naturally had no way to control them.

If Rocks wants to become stronger, he needs to fight.

What Monger did was help him minimize the variables in the battle.

The White Wolf Pirates and the World Government have already gone to war.

However, this time they were fighting a proxy war. Neither Monger nor Im personally intervened, which was also a headache for Im.

The world government has many trump cards.

Each time a card is turned over, it forces Monger to confront them head-on.

Like the Heavenly King's energy this time.

If Monger takes action personally, the World Government can seize the opportunity to launch a major war, because Monger lacks sufficient intelligence, so he cannot publicize the design in advance like he did at Acrosspolis.

In this situation, if Mongo rashly starts a war, not only the Five Elders, but even Im might personally get involved.

But Munger only sent Lox to test the waters.

After probing and discovering that Im was indeed preparing to replenish the King's energy.

Monger began to deploy his troops.

He took the initiative to confront Im in Mary Geoise, accompanied by Lingling and Lipri. As long as the number of top-tier warriors in Mary Geoise decreased, Mung would take the initiative to start a war and face Joy Boy directly.

Lox, who was sent out to test the waters, might be devoured by the reinforcements sent by Im, but Im also faces the possibility of being defeated by Mongols alone.

Rocks wants to become stronger.

Monger gave him the fight he wanted.

Monger took some of the risk for him, but it was impossible to fully anticipate Im's actions.

The gamble is on whether Im dares to do it.

With fewer people sent out to provide support, it's uncertain whether Lox and the others can be retained.

With more people sent out to provide support, Munger will take the initiative to strike.

Previously, Mongo had to place himself on the chessboard to compete against the World Government, but with the growth of Rocks and others, Mongo was finally able to transform from a chess piece into a chess player.

He was the one who sent Lox to Osgoo, but it was Lox himself who made the choice.

Monger has gambled his whole life with the Navy and the World Government; now he doesn't need to gamble anymore.

Now it's Rocks' turn to gamble.

If you win the gamble, you'll grow and become the top player on this vast ocean.

If you lose the bet, you'll be nothing but a handful of dust.

"The World Government can still mobilize top-tier fighters such as Ortega, Hines Oran, Sora, Grindelwald, and Stephens."

"Adding the five elders who were already on Osgu Island, that makes six top-tier experts."

“Relying on Lox alone is definitely not enough.”

After leaving Mary Geoise, Im and the other five elders dared not pursue them.

He clearly possesses the strongest power in the world.

But Im, who has always lived in Mary Geoise, doesn't even dare to reveal his existence.

"Oh, woman!"

Monger gave a disdainful sneer and continued to analyze the current situation with Crane.

“I’ve already sent Newgate and Skeeter to meet him.”

"The question is, will we have enough time?"

Despite the existence of Den Den Mushi, Monger doesn't possess Im's magical teleportation ability, and his crew needs time to travel.

Monger encountered Im in Mary Geoise, and after realizing that Monger already knew about the existence of the Uranus, Im did not remain inactive.

She first summoned Ortega, the current Fleet Admiral, and Admiral Hines Oran to Mary Geoise.

Then, the Knights of God were instantly teleported to Osgu Island.

Mary Geoise's defensive strength remained unchanged.

However, the defensive strength of Osgu Island more than doubled.

Therefore, Im has already gained the upper hand.

On Monger's side, aside from Shiki having the ability to fly directly across the Red Line and reach Osgoo Island in a short time...

Both Newgate and Harald needed to get going.

Monger simply didn't contact Harald.

Because the journey from Elbaf to Osgu Island would take half a year just to sail there, even if the giant who ate the Bird-Bird Fruit were to work as a laborer again, it would be impossible to reach Osgu Island in a short time.

Monger didn't know how much time Lox had left.

But I'm afraid there aren't many left.
