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

Chapter 211 Attack Where the Enemy Must Rescue!

Rocks and Shiki flew towards Newgate's location with the floating landmass, encountering resistance from various powerful naval officers along the way.

However, some people jumped off the plot immediately, so they didn't make it onto the last train of escape when the plot flew away.

"Hey, why did they all run away?"

Roger, who was fighting Garp, stared blankly at the landmass that had flown away.

I haven't gotten on the bus yet!

Across from him, Garp saw Roger's expression and burst out laughing.

"Haha, Roger, it seems you've been abandoned!"

"Damn it!"

Roger was furious. He should have known that he and Rocks were not partners. He only helped Rocks infiltrate Osgoo Island because he owed Rocks a debt.

Now that the scientist has been taken away, his life or death is of no concern to Lox.

Their relationship was never good to begin with!

Fortunately, everyone had gone to chase after the floating landmass where Rocks was, so Roger only had to face Garp and a few scattered naval officers.

"Garp, you think you can stop me?"

"Haha, this time it's not at sea, you can't escape now!"

With that, Garp threw a punch at Roger.

His confidence was not unfounded. After all, they had faced off countless times since Roger debuted, and Roger had suffered countless defeats.

In the original timeline, Garp would still be just an ordinary rookie in the Navy, and Roger wouldn't even know if he had set sail.

However, because of Monger's existence, the World Government relaxed its restrictions on the Navy, which gave Roger the desire to go to sea.

They all arrived in an era that didn't belong to them!
In this situation.

Naturally, Garp, who was mentored by a Marine Admiral, grew up much faster.

So it was the first collision.

It was Garp who defeated Roger's pirate crew, causing Roger's crew to be defeated just as they entered the first half of the Grand Line.

However, thanks to good luck, Roger managed to escape every time he encountered Garp, and through his battles with Garp, he grew rapidly.

After all, when Garp first met Roger, although he was stronger than Roger, he was only a newcomer who had joined the Navy a few years ago. Even if he was stronger than Roger, he was only slightly stronger.

Each time he fought Roger, Roger would use his great talent to learn from Garp and improve himself.

So, after a while, they started dating again.

Although Garp's growth rate was fast, Roger's growth rate was also not slow, thanks to Garp as an excellent opponent.

to today.

Roger and Garp clashed again, and their strength was now almost equal.

However, as Karp said...

They were not standing on the sea, but on land. If Roger wanted to escape, he would have to defeat Garp before he could have the strength to deal with the other naval commanders.

"Roger, this time, your good luck won't be on your side!"

Garp laughed and collided with Roger.

At this moment, the floating island controlled by Shiki had already floated to a height of over one hundred meters in the air, a distance that was enough to isolate most of the pursuing enemies.

But it's not enough when facing top-tier experts.

The Saturn Jeygorusia Satan, whose body had swelled to a height of thirty or forty meters, leaped with all his might to a position even higher than the floating landmass.

Intuit!
A large mouthful of venom was sprayed towards Lox and the others on the floating landmass.

"You old geezer, aren't you afraid of affecting those scientists who have already passed out?"

Seeing Jaigolusia Satan Saint's unbridled attacks, Rocks cursed and continued his actions.

He blocked Grindelwald, who had transformed into a falcon and flown in front of the floating landmass to block its advance, while simultaneously stopping Jaigollusia Satan's attack.

He is now experiencing what Monger felt in the past.

I can't be in two places at once!

He could defeat any of the top experts on the island one-on-one, but he would struggle against two top experts working together, and against three, defeat would only be a matter of time.

The current Rocks is stronger than Monger was when he fought three against one in Elbaf, but weaker than he was during the battle in Sabaody Archipelago.

Fortunately, he had already mastered Conqueror's Haki Entanglement.

Even when facing immortal beings like Grindelwald and Jaigollucia Satan, he was still able to restrain them.

The premise is that he only has two enemies.

"careful!"

A slash suddenly shot into the sky, completely ignoring Glindwin who was fighting Rocks, and went straight for Rocks and Glindwin.

The floating island had already flown to a height of two hundred meters. At this distance, unless Jaigollucia Satan Saint used a powerful attack, it would be difficult to touch the floating landmass.

After all, Jaigollucia Satan Saint's physique is what it is.

He can briefly levitate.

However, there is no way to stay in mid-air indefinitely using Moonwalk.

However, he doesn't need to take action now.

The commander-in-chief and sole leader of the Knights of God appeared, immediately launching a long-range slash aimed directly at Rocks in mid-air.

It's alright if Grindelwald gets slashed; he's immortal anyway. As long as Lucas Saint's Conqueror's Haki isn't specifically targeted at him, Lucas Saint's attacks will have no effect on him.

"Conqueror's Haki enveloping you!?"

Seeing Lucas Saint's attack, Rocks' expression changed slightly.

His ability to fight two opponents at once was only applicable to ordinary general-level powerhouses like Grindelwald. He even struggled against slightly stronger general-level powerhouses like Kong and Jaigollucia Satan Saint.

Lucas Saint has mastered Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, and even has the confidence to fight him one-on-one. At least Rocks cannot defeat Lucas Saint quickly.

However, facing an increasing number of top-tier experts, Rocks showed no fear; instead, he revealed an extremely excited smile.

"Hahaha, that's it! That's what makes it more fun!"

With a somewhat helpless expression on Glindwin's face, the attacks from Lox and Lucas Saint tore his body apart.

Then, one above the other, Rocks and Lucas collided in mid-air.

"Get down here!!!"

Rocks roared, and his longsword, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, clashed with Lucas Saint's rapier. Even before the swords clashed, they collided in mid-air, creating a tremendous roar.

Boom!

The air centered on Lox and Lucas Saint was instantly torn into pieces, and black and red lightning, like thousands of lightning snakes, crawled across the sky of the entire Osgu Island.

But in the end, Lox was still the better one.

The longsword, wreathed in Conqueror's Haki, unleashed a slash that exploded like a cannonball in front of Lucas Saint. Taking advantage of his high position, Lucas Saint, who had leaped into the air, crashed to the ground at an even faster speed than when he was airborne.

It was as if God's scepter had fallen from the sky, nearly shattering a quarter of Osgu Island.

Osgu Island had already suffered extensive damage from the battle two weeks prior, and now the clash between Rocks and Lucas Saint, coupled with the tremors caused by Newgate's use of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, has put the island's sinking on a countdown.

"That's an exaggeration!"

Even Roger and Garp were speechless at the sight.

Although their strength is already considerable, there is still a significant gap between them and top-tier experts. A strike from the clash between Rocks and Lucas Saint could easily kill either of them!

Rocks defeated Saint Lucas, but he himself was also in bad shape. Forces are reciprocal.

In battles between top-tier experts, most use seven-tenths of their strength and reserve three-tenths, in order to prevent stiffness when their strength is exhausted.

But Rocks didn't care about all that.

Now surrounded by enemies, if he cannot defeat Lucas Saint immediately, he will only face an even greater siege.

Even now.

After Rocks repelled Saint Lucas with a single blow, Saint Claude, as the leader of the Knights of God, immediately attacked him.

"You shall pay for the sin of murdering my brother!"

Claude shouted, and the same rapier was about to strike Lox.

At this critical moment.

Clang!
Barolorik returned in time to protect Rocks from the fatal blow.

But the price was that he was shot down once again.

"Baroric!!!"

Upon seeing his first mate wounded, Lockston was enraged.

"Damn Celestial Dragons!!!"

The brief opening that Baroric bought for him allowed Lox to regain some strength and launch a counterattack against Claude Saint.

At the same time, Grindelwald, whose body had been torn apart by the attacks of Lucas Saint and Lox, was restored once again.

The giant falcon did not attack Lox.

Instead, they attacked the floating islands.

In Glindwin's view, their mission would be successful as long as they returned the kidnapped scientists to Osgoo Island.

As for leaving Lox and the others behind?
It's certainly a good thing if you can stay, but there's no need to force it if you can't.

"Hey, don't pretend I don't exist!"

Jaigolusia Satansan posed little threat to the floating islands, allowing Shiki to focus on defending against enemy attacks.

He could tell at a glance that Grindelwald was the weakest among the group of top experts.

This is perfect opportunity for him to practice!
However, this was not a one-on-one arena battle, but a chaotic battle between nearly a dozen top experts. The intensity of the battle was probably second only to the war that Monger had started in the port of Akroppolis.

On the World Government's side, in addition to Saint Jaigollucia Satan, Saint Grindelwald, Saint Lucas, and Saint Claude, there are also two top powerhouses, Kong and Stephens, who belong to the Navy and CP respectively.

Rocks' attack had previously sent Sora flying, but after a brief respite, Sora chased after him again. Against a martial arts master like Sora, it was impossible for Rocks to kill him in one blow.

As for Stephens, the reason he arrived the slowest was because he was the furthest from the floating landmass. The six top experts of Osgu Island were all located in different positions to prevent enemy sneak attacks.

At their level, unless Monger himself takes action, it's impossible for the others under Monger to kill them instantly.

Not to mention, everyone on this island, except for Kong, is immortal.

The six top experts have already approached.

Shiki can at most help restrain the weakest of the five, Grindelwald. In other words, Rocks needs to fight five top-tier fighters by himself!
Will it win?
Lox felt that if he could win, he could challenge Monger when he got back.

So he roared.

"Newgate!!!"

"coming!"

It wasn't just the World Government's top experts who were gathering; Rocks was also waiting for Newgate's support.

Even those over six meters tall can still stride forward in mid-air.

Moonwalk was the worst of the six moves Newgate had ever mastered.

But a brief moment of airtime, combined with the momentum from his leap from his own boat, allowed Newgate to finally arrive.

As soon as he appeared, Newgate brandished his long naginata.

Along with the overseas expansion of the past two years.

Named "Murakumogiri," one of only twelve Supreme Grade Swords in the world, it finally fell into Newgate's hands.

However, Newgate showed no arrogance whatsoever despite wielding the Supreme Greatsword.

Because he knows it very well.

A knife is just a knife.

What truly determines the upper limit is not the knife, but the person!
If the opponent were Monger, Newgate felt that even if Monger had a kitchen knife forged from a few berths, he could still cut through his Murakumogiri.

There is no arrogance, only the composure that comes with maturity.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Newgate has always been this steady and reliable.

Even with Conqueror's Haki.

But his domineering attitude was never directed at his companions.

It's aimed at the enemy!
Although Rocks had left the White Wolf Pirates, his willingness to come to their aid during the battle between the White Wolf Pirates and the World Government three years ago was enough to dispel any lingering resentment Newgate might have had.

They may have gone down different paths.

But they are still family!
Still brothers!

The man named Edward Newgate, later known as "the strongest man," roared before the world.

"If you want to harm my family, you'll have to step over my dead body first!!!"

A huge moon hung high in the sky, but a milky halo wrapped around Newgate's longsword, and it looked as if a second moon had risen over the sea.

The moon rises over the sea!
Newgate's strike wasn't aimed at the others surrounding Rocks, but at Lucas Saint, who had been cut down by Rocks and was still recovering.

Attack the enemy and save him!

I could kill this Celestial Dragon with one strike, but Rocks could escape if he abandoned the scientists.

In some ways, Newgate and Rocks were both pirates.

Because they only care about what they care about.

But Newgate believed that even if Monger were to switch places with him, it wouldn't work.

Monger would make the same choice.

Anyway, scientists can be replaced, since it's not the World Government that needs scientists, but Lucas Saint. However, if Lucas Saint dies, it means the World Government will lose another top-tier powerhouse.

One goes down and the other goes up.

They made a fortune!

"you dare!!!"

Seeing this, Jaigolusia Satan, one of the Five Elders, was furious. Although he was not as high-ranking as Lucas, he was still stronger.

If Saint Lucas dies, heaven knows how furious Lord Im will be.

So Jaigolusia Satan and Stephens in the distance exchanged a glance, and were ultimately forced to change their positions.

Appearing around Saint Lucas.

However, this was a strike from Newgate that brought together all his strength.

It still crashed down.

It was as if a giant moon had crashed onto this scarred island.

It possesses the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Conqueror's Haki.

With a single blow, the entire island of Osgu was split in two!
