Pirate: I'm just slacking off, do you really think I'm a noob?

Several days had passed, but he still couldn't accept the news of Cracker's death. If it weren't for Charlotte Linlin forcing Katakuri to stop him from getting too angry,

Maybe after returning to Cake Island, Katakuri will choose to fight to the death with the navy.

"Brother Katakuri, the navy's offensive is getting stronger and stronger. The pirates in front are almost unable to hold on. They asked us to retreat and rest."

A girl from the Charlotte family said.

Katakuri's face was full of ruthlessness:

"Tell them that pirates have no choice but to retreat. They must either withstand the pressure from the navy or die in my hands."

“The navy will never let any pirates go. Each of them has killed many people. Even if they leave here, they will be caught and executed by the navy.

9. That is the fact.

This is why the pirates will not retreat no matter how heavy the losses are, because the navy will really leave no one alive.

For those who are forced into a desperate situation, they will not give up even the craziest choice. Their only hope is that the Three Emperors Pirates, led by Charlotte Linlin, can unite with the pirates of the New World to defeat the navy and drive them out of the New World's sphere of influence again.

Otherwise, all the pirates will be doomed together.

At this moment, on the navy ship.

Zefa was sitting on the warship, covered in gauze, looking at his old friend in front of him speechlessly.

'I thought you were done with this matter, why are you here?'

Looking at the old man with white hair in front of him, Zefa was very curious.

Because the person sitting in front of him was the former vice admiral, legendary marine, and naval hero - Monkey D. Garp.

Garp also showed a helpless expression on his face and said:

"I can't help it. A long time ago, I owed Luo Li a favor. Now Luo Li is using him to exchange me to deal with Charlotte Lingling."

Zefa nodded.

For someone like Garp who does whatever he wants, only human relationships can restrain him.

"By the way, does it matter if Dragon declares war on the World Government?"

As a high-ranking naval officer, Zefa knows more than others even though he is in a semi-retired state.

At least he knew very well that the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, was Garp's son.

"I don't understand Long's thinking. He has grown up and has chosen his own path. Right or wrong has no meaning. Long will not listen to us."

Garp sighed.

To be honest, Long was once the person he placed the most hope on, because Long was extremely talented and had an extremely high IQ.

During his time in the navy, Long performed very well.

Garp was very optimistic at the time. He even thought that if Long continued to follow the routine, he might have a great chance of becoming the Admiral of the Navy.

Who would have thought that after carrying out a mission in Marijoa, Long suddenly lost trust in the navy and withdrew from the navy without hesitation.

Garp was really angry at that time. He originally thought he could persuade Long to turn back.

But Long's determination shocked him greatly, so he had to let Long try.

But I didn't expect that after so many years, Dragon actually challenged the World Government.

Now, Karp only places his hope on his grandson who has not yet grown up.

Little did he know that his last hope was now floating on a small boat in the East China Sea, and he had vowed to become the Pirate King.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Rowley asked me to bring the order for a strong attack. He believes that there are still some unfinished business between Charlotte and Shanks, so let's hurry up and at least severely injure Charlotte Linlin and destroy the alliance between the two emperors."

The reason is very simple. Charlotte Linlin's strength is also at the middle and high level among the Three Emperors. Her terrifying defense and strength make the top combat forces of the navy a little afraid.

It’s just that Charlotte Linlin has bigger shortcomings than Shanks, and her IQ is also lower than Shanks, so she is less dangerous in the navy than Red-Haired Shanks.

"No problem. After the artillery consumption in the past few days, the morale of the pirates is low. We can launch a strong attack to break the third defense chain."

Zefa nodded and quickly agreed.

For this purpose, he specially communicated with Borsalino and asked Borsalino to cooperate with him in the attack in order to delay the reaction time of the Red Hair Pirates.

After getting Borsalino's promise, Zefa began to prepare for the war.

When the sun rose again, the entire naval fleet had made all preparations.

Without any exciting slogans or pre-war mobilization, they landed on the warships docked in the port in silence.

A swift attack was launched on the third chain of defense.

"Lord Katakuri, all the navy troops are coming."

Katakuri had just woken up and was still eating when a pirate rushed into his palace and saw Katakuri's open bloody mouth.

"Katakuri-sama...I...didn't mean it."

After seeing Katakuri's terrifying side, the pirate said in panic that Katakuri put down the donuts in his hand, took out his spear and threw it out, nailing the pirate to the ground.

Then he swallowed the remaining donut in one gulp and walked out of the palace.

When passing by the pirate's corpse, Katakuri pulled out the spear that was stuck in the ground.

"Has the Navy's general offensive begun?"

As he walked out, Katakuri was thinking in his mind.

Rumble!

The navy's artillery seemed to be about to blow the entire island to pieces, and the sky was filled with flying shells.

Every time a shell landed in the fortifications, it would randomly take away a few unlucky pirates.

The remaining pirates, with various injuries, huddled in what they thought was the safest place, waiting for the artillery fire to stop.

The navy ships stopped one nautical mile away from the island and began to attack the island from here.

Some warships had already begun to launch assault boats for use by naval soldiers preparing for landing operations.

Under the cover of artillery, the naval soldiers landed on the island with almost no danger.

But they knew in their hearts that this was just the beginning.

The real danger lies ahead.

Behind countless bunkers, there are densely packed pirates ready to attack them at any time. They will kill them mercilessly when the navy is not paying attention. Time passes bit by bit.

As the sun rose to its highest point in the sky, the navy's artillery had already stopped.

The high-intensity bombardment caused the artillery on the warship to begin to deform and could no longer fire.

Close combat and gunfights became the main means of engagement.

Large tracts of land were stained red with blood, and the bodies of the navy and pirates lay entangled together...:

When the sun sank below the sea level again, there were almost no pirates left alive on the island front.

The setting sun is as red as blood, shining on the land.

In the center of the island, inside the solid fortifications, Katakuri was also feeling very depressed.

During the day, he had planned to use his abilities to stop the navy's attack.

But as soon as he appeared, a dozen vice admirals in the navy gave up their immediate target without hesitation and planned to surround and destroy him.

If Katakuri hadn't used his Observation Haki to keenly sense the crisis, he might have really been killed by the Vice Admiral of the Navy.

Just like his younger brother Cracker, he had no power to fight back.

“Hasn’t mom’s reinforcements arrived yet?

Katakuri asked his sister beside him.

My sister's expression was also very ugly, and her pale face was full of fear:

"Mom's cravings have come back. I can only pass the news to the ministers.

I don’t know when my mother will get better.”

Expansion!

Katakuri slammed his iron fist on the table.

If it weren't for mom's bulimia, the Charlotte family would never have reached this point.

"Katakuri-san, what should we do now?"

Looking at his tearful sister, Katakuri gently touched her head and said:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here and you won't get hurt."

The battle between the navy and the pirates temporarily entered a state of rest. The navy, which had been attacking for a whole day, was now very tired, and the pirates, who had fought for their lives, were equally tired.

Now, they just want to have a good sleep and don’t care whether they can wake up or not.

The leaders of both sides agreed that they would not launch an attack tonight, but tacitly thought of launching the attack during the day tomorrow.

After all, the vast majority of those participating in the battle were ordinary people, and they simply did not have enough physical strength to fight for a whole day and a night.

Those who are strong are a minority after all.

However, even when they were resting, they did not leave at all.

The navy pitched their tents directly five miles away from the pirate fortifications.

Because this is the maximum range of the pirates' artillery, it is very safe.

Even if Katakuri wants to launch a sneak attack on the navy, there is no need to be afraid. With the combat power of more than a dozen vice admirals and two lieutenant admirals, Katakuri can tear him to pieces as long as he comes.

Katakuri is certainly not that stupid, he just thinks differently from others.

At the darkest hour of the night, when all the navy and pirates who had participated in the daytime battle were fast asleep, Katakuri directed several children of the Charlotte family to carry some things onto a small boat.

"Brother Katakuri, won't you come with us?"

The children of Charlotte family on the boat said reluctantly.

Katakuri shook his head and said:

"My mother ordered me to hold the third line of defense. I must stay here until she gives me a new order."

"Besides, the third defense chain is already very close to Cake Island. If this place is captured by the navy, it will be useless even if I return to Cake Island."

"I am a key figure of the Charlotte family. The Navy will never let me go. Even if I escape from here and Cake Island, I will eventually be found and killed by the Navy on some unknown island."

Katakuri thought very clearly that if this island could be defended, the navy's edge would be severely weakened.

His previous conversation with Red-Haired Shanks would do the trick.

But if the island under his feet cannot be defended and the navy really starts to attack Cake Island, then Red-Haired Shanks will most likely give up his proposal.

"It's getting late. Let's go quickly before we are discovered by the navy."

Katakuri pushed the boat gently with his hands and quietly sent it out of the harbor.

In the temporary meeting room of the Navy, several Vice Admirals, Zefa, and Garp were having a meeting. Yixiao pushed open the door and walked in:

"Yixiao, you are here."

"This is former Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp."

Zefa gave a brief introduction.

He smiled and nodded, and said politely:

"I have heard of Vice Admiral Garp's reputation a long time ago. He is indeed a man who can chase Pirate King Roger around the sea.

Garp hummed in response.

He smiled and said:

"Chief Instructor Zefa, Charlotte Linlin seems to have fallen into a strange disease. When I was scouting over Cake Island, I found that she seemed to have lost her normal way of thinking and only knew how to eat non-stop."

"And during this process, no one else on Cake Island dared to get close to her."

"If I wasn't worried that this was a trap set by Cake Island, I would have tried to test whether Charlotte Lingling was real or not."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zefa's face. He coughed twice before saying:

"Mr. Yixiao, I forgot to tell you about this."

"Charlotte Lingling does suffer from a strange disease, which is called food craving by the Charlotte family. When the disease strikes, if there is not enough food, Charlotte Lingling will go berserk and madly destroy everything around her."
