The Alternatives of the Tianlong Family

Things took an unexpected turn that completely exceeded Lockes's predictions.

"Bang bang bang!"

Countless shells were fired from the cannons, forming a dense, overwhelming mass in the air.

After leaving a bright red trail, a barrage of shells rained down on the ships on the sea.

"Edward!"

Standing on the high ground, Lox shouted.

"Tap tap tap!!"

As soon as Lockes finished speaking.

Whitebeard, wielding the naginata Murakumogiri, moved from the front of the ship to the stern like a ferocious beast.

His movements were very fluid, and he had a crescent-shaped white mustache hanging below his nose.

In mid-air, he waved his other arm, which was not holding a weapon.

"Crack!"

The air barrier shattered right next to his fist.

Then came the sea churning, with huge waves soaring into the sky like a gaping maw, ready to devour everything around them.

The admiral stood firm at the front of the ship, his calm and composed demeanor unchanged even in the face of such huge waves.

"Speed ​​up, get through!"

The admiral issued the order.

"Yes!"

"call!!"

The massive wave instantly swallowed all the naval warships behind the Rocks Pirates.

"Boooooooh!!"

However, a few seconds later, most of the ships emerged from the giant waves, while some were swallowed up and sunk to the bottom of the sea.

"Lox, don't even think about running!"

The admiral shouted angrily.

"Hahahaha... You think you can end my voyage here? Impossible!"

"Stop running! Stop! Let's have a proper life-or-death battle!" the admiral shouted.

Lox sneered and replied, "We will have it, but... not today."

Rocks' surprise attack on Marine Headquarters today was not intended to get too entangled with the Navy; it was merely an act of retaliation, and a way of warning the World Government that his Rocks Pirates were different from other pirate crews.

Therefore, Rocks naturally refused to accept the Fleet Admiral's absurd request.

The Fleet Admiral frowned. He was actually a little helpless because ranged attacks were no match for the Rocks Pirates.

No matter how many shells are fired, they will all be blocked.

"Let me give it a try!"

At that moment, Garp suddenly stepped forward.

The admiral glanced at Garp.

How would you like to try it?

“Of course, the simplest and most direct way is to just throw me over there,” Garp said with a smile.

The Fleet Admiral's body is much larger than Garp's, and to become the Fleet Admiral, one must naturally possess formidable strength.

"hehe."

The Fleet Admiral sneered. He still greatly admired Garp, whose talent was extremely high. Although he was only a Vice Admiral at the moment, his strength had long surpassed that level.

"If that's the case, then let's go."

Without much hesitation, the Fleet Admiral grabbed Garp by the feet and covered his hands with Armament Haki.

Then, he started spinning at high speed.

A current of air was generated centered on the two of them.

"call out!"

When a certain speed was reached, the admiral seized the opportunity and released his grip.

Garp shot out like a cannonball.

"call!"

Due to the extremely high speed, the airflow caused Garp's face to tremble. However, with the help of this force, he directly covered his hands with Armament Haki.

He stared at Garp, who was rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Whitebeard stepped forward.

"Captain Rocks, leave it to me."

After saying that, he put the Murakumogiri aside, leaped up, and covered his hands with Armament Haki.

"boom!"

The two fists collided, and a black, lightning-like light flashed around them, causing the surrounding sea to churn violently.

The ship began to rock violently.

"drink!"

The two roared, constantly increasing their power.

After a stalemate lasting about thirty seconds, both of them were thrown back.

"Check, check, check..."

Whitebeard landed back on his ship, his feet rubbing against the deck, revealing two deep cracks.

It is conceivable that the impact was quite powerful.

Garp landed back on his own ship, and similarly, two long cracks appeared on his ship.

"It seems that even so, we cannot get close to their ships," the admiral sighed.

As for Is, he has moved to the new castle, and Acnologia, Tatsumaki, and Madara Uchiha have gone to rest.

Meanwhile, Is was doing push-ups and sit-ups in the back garden to activate the advanced physical techniques required for the system.

However, doing 10,000 times each would be a bit difficult for people from Is's original world, but in this world... it's really not that difficult.

Although Tornado and the others were asleep, Rose Minian and the maids waited quietly beside Is.

“Master, it’s getting late, you should rest,” Rose Minnian said softly.

"If you're tired, go back to sleep. There's no need for you to stay here with me," Is instructed.

"We are not sleepy, Master!"

Caldean was the Celestial Dragon who wanted to buy Tatsumaki, right, bro? He was later knocked unconscious by Is's Conqueror's Haki, and then this time, he got a beating from Kaido and was dragged over to find Is.

Chapter 48

Seeing their determined looks, Is didn't try to persuade them further and continued his training.

They didn't disturb Is again, but sat quietly on the chairs in the back garden, waiting for Is to finish.

···

On Rocks' side, the Fleet Admiral pursued him for several hours, but the situation remained unchanged, and in the end... he still lost him.

"Finally, we managed to shake off that bastard."

Lockes gazed at the calm sea and breathed a sigh of relief.

He never expected the navy to be so persistent.

However, this attack has caused Rocks to lose a lot of combat power, and it will take some time for them to recover.

But... the thought of the benefits this opportunity could bring him instantly cheered him up.

"How are things going with Shiki and Lingling?"

Back on board, Lockes quickly convened a meeting of his officers.

"I just got in touch with them. It seems things are going well for them. They've successfully evacuated from Mary Geoise."

"Furthermore, I have already given them our location area. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to rendezvous with us in a few hours." Longbread reported everything he had just done to Locke.

Rocks is not currently located in the New World, the latter half of the Grand Line, so even if they are only given a general location, Shiki and his crew can find it quickly.

Of course, in a new world, without a record pointer and a permanent pointer, the chance of finding the desired location if you just report a random location is extremely low.

The reason is simple: the geomagnetism, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and air currents of the new world are all in chaos, making it difficult to even determine one's own location, let alone find an island.

"Good...very good."

Upon hearing this answer, Locke smiled with satisfaction.

A few seconds later, he seemed to remember something and asked again, "How many people went, and how many came back?"

Upon hearing this, Longbread hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "The losses... are quite severe. Three-fifths of the people were forcibly left in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, and Lingling... was also slightly injured."

With each word the long bread uttered, the smile on Lox's face diminished, until, when he finished speaking, Lox's previously beaming smile was replaced by a blank expression.

“What are you saying? Longbread! Is this what you call success?” Lox’s sharp gaze was fixed on the longbread.

To be honest, when Longbread saw the look in Lox's eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Captain Rocks... I'm just telling the truth."

Clearly, the smooth progress Longbread mentioned only refers to the evacuation, not any significant achievements in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

"Lingling and Shiqi shouldn't have given me that answer."

Rocks said in a deep voice. Fortunately, at this moment, Rocks did not know that Charlotte Linlin and the others were in such a disheveled state because of a Celestial Dragon and his bodyguard.

If they knew, they'd probably be furious by now.
