The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

"CP0? When did you call these people here?!"

Whitebeard glanced at the group of people, then turned his attention back to Sengoku in front of him.

"You'd have to ask Ryder and Golden Lion about that~~~"

Sengoku smiled coldly, "If it were just your Whitebeard Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates, perhaps those big shots in the Holy Land wouldn't bother with it."

"But if so many legendary pirates make an appearance..."

"Do you think those important figures in the Holy Land can still sit still?!"

"After all, this place is not far from the Holy Land. If a madman like the Golden Lion were to get vicious, even the Holy Land would have to be wary of him."

"so……"

Whitebeard lowered his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. "So that's how this group of CP0 agents showed up?!"

"They should have arrived long ago..."

Sengoku's expression was also extremely cold and stern. "He just stayed outside and didn't come any closer."

"Are they planning to wait until the navy and we are both exhausted before they show themselves?!"

Whitebeard instantly understood and grinned, "Trying to steal the fruits of others' labor, huh? They really are an organization directly under the Celestial Dragons."

"He is just as cold and ruthless towards you fellow naval officers."

"Completely disregarding your safety and losses, just to achieve their own goals and report back to their superiors, this kind of behavior is indeed something only those guys in CP0 could do."

"but……"

Even on Whitebeard's smiling face, a barely perceptible rage was visible.

"They really did pick a good time."

"When they appeared, they really left a very deep impression on everyone!!"

For the first time on this battlefield, a hint of killing intent appeared in Whitebeard's eyes.

No one could remain unmoved after seeing their ship, which they've weathered decades of storms with, destroyed!

"It's just four CP0s, isn't it?!"

A fleet captain shouted from behind, "Why don't we just charge over there and take them down?!"

"It's not that simple!!"

Marco stared intently ahead, speaking without turning his head.

His gaze first swept over the four CP0 members.

Then he raised his head and slowly looked at the sea behind Crescent Bay.

Then, on the sea surface, one could vaguely see rows of fleets floating there.

These ships were not naval warships; they were all chained together, and their sails bore the blue, spherical cross-shaped emblem of the World Government!

383 The Three Armies! Paramecia type, the power of the Oil-Oil Fruit!! Obstruction from the World Government!

"That's...that's the World Government's Guard Force!!"

Some pirates recognized the flags and the fleet, paused for a moment, and then pointed at the fleet and shouted.

The World Government has three armed forces, one of which is the Navy. As the largest, strongest, and most prominent violent organization under the World Government, its military presence throughout the world goes without saying.

The other one is the government army.

This army has a wide scope, including the soldiers in black on Enies Lobby and the prison guards in Impel Down, all of whom belong to the government army.

The last one is the guard force of Mary Geoise, who have come here to support the navy.

Their primary duty is to protect the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and to eliminate any dangerous armies that threaten it!

"Tch, even the Imperial Guard has come?!"

"Those bunch of trash dare to participate in this kind of war?! They dare to come and fight against our Whitebeard Pirates?!"

"If they dare to come in front of me, I'll kill four or five of them—or they'll be my sons!!"

"You think just anyone can come after us?! huh?!"

When they met CP0, although everyone was angry, they still retained some rationality.

But upon seeing the insignia of the guards, he became extremely angry and started yelling loudly.

They felt insulted.

As everyone knows, the Guardians are the weakest of the three armed forces of the World Government!

Mary Geoise is protected by CP0, a Celestial Dragon's shield, so the remaining guards are just decorative figures.

Thirteen years ago, Fisher Tiger was able to break into the Holy Land of Mary Geoise all by himself and set the entire Holy Land ablaze, which shows the level of this group of guards.

Two years later, during the World Conference, Sabo alone will be able to disguise himself as a member of the Imperial Guard and lead a group of nobles into the sacred site.

And then he could freely move around and investigate those rooms and halls all by himself.

Therefore, the weakness of the Guard is a consensus among everyone on the high seas.

Aside from its intelligence agencies, the World Government's only capable fighting force is its navy.

Therefore, what those pirates just said might not necessarily be bragging.

"However, judging from their appearance, they don't seem to intend to come closer and land."

Captain of the 10th Division, sniper Curiel, observed the movements of the fleet and couldn't help but offer a guess.

"It's just as well that you're not coming!!"

The other squadron leaders sneered, "If they dare to come over, let alone twenty fleets, we could wipe them out even if they sent another twenty!!!"

"Yeah!!"

This statement was unanimously agreed upon by the pirates behind him.

"but……"

Curiel's expression gradually became serious.

"It looks like they're planning to fire at us from a distance..."

Whoosh! !

His words had barely faded when the cannons of the twenty fleet ships in the sky simultaneously fired shells in their direction!

Each ship was equipped with more than just one cannon.

This resulted in the cannonballs fired simultaneously from twenty ships, which, like rain, completely obscured the sky!

"hateful!!!"

The squadron leaders and their fleet captains leaped into the air, trying to deflect the cannonballs in mid-air.

However, the number of them was really large, and after they launched one round, they immediately launched a second round.

This kind of pressure leaves no time for anyone to breathe.

And the four CP0 agents were also watching from the sidelines, eager to strike.

This meant that the squad leaders also needed to spend some time and effort keeping an eye on them.

This resulted in quite a few of the cannonballs still landing among the pirates behind them.

A series of explosions rang out, accompanied by the screams of the pirates!

"How can this be repaired?!"

Everyone was gritting their teeth, "We finally managed to rescue Ace, and now we're being forced to retreat?!"

They finally understood the other party's sinister intentions.

The guards themselves knew how incompetent they were, which is why they didn't approach them to fight them head-on.

They simply used these shells for long-range attacks, forcing them back into the fortress or inflicting some damage on them.

In short, the plan is to leave them all here!

"That's a good idea, but..."

Marco's entire body was instantly engulfed in a layer of immortal blue flames.

His expression was solemn as he slowly said, "If you think you can stop us with this much..."

"Isn't that ridiculous?!"

"We are... the Whitebeard Pirates!!!"

Having said that, Marco soared into the sky, intending to fly towards the location of the twenty fleet ships!

However~~~

Whoosh! !

He had just taken off and hadn't flown much further.

A sticky, pale yellow, viscous liquid was poured down on him.

"What is this thing?!"

Marco frowned as he dodged.

But ~

The liquid dispersed directly in the air, falling like rain.

Even if Marco wanted to dodge, it would be difficult to avoid them all given the density of the crowd.

And so, a few tiny drops of pale yellow liquid touched Marco's immortal blue flames...

boom! ! ! !

A massive explosion suddenly erupted in mid-air!

Thick black smoke was billowing from the direction Marco had just been standing!

The sparks from the explosion were so bright they almost blinded people.

The piercing sound seemed to penetrate one's eardrums.

"Captain Marco!!"

Upon seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they shouted anxiously as they looked at the situation in mid-air.

huh~~

A figure was swiftly ejected from the thick smoke and black fog.

It rolled several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.

"Cough cough, pfft!!"

Marco coughed several times, looking disheveled, and then vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Is it okay?!"

"Are you alright, Marco?!"

Joz and Vista rushed to Marco's side.

While checking on his condition, he also kept an eye on the CP members in front of him.

"I'm fine..."

Marco waved his hand as he got up from the ground.

"I understand now..."

His injured areas were hissing.

His eyes were fixed on the tall CP0 standing on the far left, who had just released the pale yellow liquid.

"How did you manage to destroy so many of our fleets and ships at the same time when there were only four of you?"

Marco gazed at the viscous liquid churning in the man's palm and said, slowly and deliberately:
