Pirates: Green Bull Marshal

"The storm has finally passed." Mantodia opened the door wetly and walked in step by step.

"It's not that you are unwilling to recruit more people."

A tall, thin, average-looking, but middle-aged woman with reddish brown hair and a great figure followed behind her.

"Every time something happens, we both have to do it ourselves. Please, we are the pirate captains."

The woman complained as she picked up a towel and wiped her neck and hair covered with rainwater.

"Hey, haven't I said it many times, our Swarm Pirates only accept crew members who like insects, or have the ability of insect fruit."

Mantodia answered his wife impatiently, while looking at the ant nest made of transparent glass in front of him with glowing eyes.

This was just customized a few days ago on an island rich in glass, and there are two kinds of ants with fierce personalities inside.

His biggest entertainment recently is when feeding them, watching them fight wildly for food.

Or throw a giant predator inside to cause chaos and carnage, and then watch the predator eventually be eaten to death and dismembered by swarms of ants.

Just like now... I saw him picking up a plump green mantis from the wooden box on the side and throwing it in with a playful look.

The woman looked at him helplessly, and said, "Let's not talk about the ability user of Chongchong Fruit, your requirements for liking insects are too high, and few people can stand it."

"It's too high, and you can't even accept insects physically and mentally, so why do you like insects?" Mantodia stared closely at the carnage inside.

The woman covered her face and shook her head, not wanting to speak anymore. When he said that the body and mind had completely accepted insects, he meant that people could sit in a box filled with various insects for ten minutes.

Although they are all insects that don't bite very much, but...because of this entrance examination, there are currently only seventy-six members on their ship.

For seven years, they basically pulled people in every time they went to an inhabited island, and now they don’t even have a hundred people.

The key point is that the ship of the Insect Pirates is very large, a large ship that can carry seven to eight hundred people.

Ordinary sailing can still proceed normally, but when encountering too severe weather, the two of them have to go out to help.

But how can there be so much normal weather in this great sea route?

"Hey, it would be great if I could meet another bug fruit capable user, preferably from other bugs, such as ants, unicorns or something."

Mantudia watched the mantis being dismembered and dragged into the anthills on both sides with anticipation on his face. What he regretted most about his wife was that she was the same kind of insect as himself.

"The sea is so big, how can there be..." Just as the woman was about to speak, rapid footsteps and panicked shouts came from outside.

"Captain Mantodia Vice Captain Roxani"

"A warship, a naval warship, is coming from ahead."

After hearing this, the faces of the men and women in the room changed. They knew trouble was coming...

At the same time, on the warship that the pirates talked about, Barrett led the Konoha squad and lined up on the deck in four rows, looking at the pirate ship opposite from afar.

"The skull has two crossed, zigzag-shaped insect forelimbs painted on it. It should be the Insect Pirates."

Major General DeWitt, who had presided over the special training camp selection before, turned around and smiled at them: "They are active in the first half of the Grand Route all year round and do not go to the world or enter the new world.

"Captain Mantodia, with a bounty of 2100 million Baileys, an animal with the ability to form insects, insects, fruit flowers, and mantises."

"Vice-captain Roxani, the wife of the former, has a bounty of 1200 million Baileys, and is an animal with the ability to form the insect fruit knife mantis."

"A couple of praying mantises?" Barrett nodded indifferently. Although he had never seen the bug fruit before, he had killed a few from the animal department.

Before that, he proposed to Lieutenant General Cornell to take the Konoha team to conduct actual combat tests.

Because he already knew that he would go to the Navy headquarters with Vidal soon, and Lieutenant Benson and the others could practice the three-three system tactics well.

In fact, none of the members of these teams is a recruit, and among them, the least number of times they participated in battles was twice.

Most people have experienced four or five battles with pirates, some in the four seas, and some in Paradise.

Lieutenant General Cornell agreed, but asked his adjutant, Major General DeWitt, to follow, and he had to choose a suitable opponent.

The choice is not in the hands of Barrett and the others, but Major General DeWitt is responsible for screening and decision-making.

"Just them, there are about 20 million senior pirates, which should be considered a good choice for you, and according to the intelligence, their number is less than a hundred."

"Okay" Barrett recognized this opponent, and behind him, Benson, Ogden and other 45 members also began to adjust their mentality.

The battle is about to begin

"All hands on deck"

"You guys hurry up and put down the furled sails."

"The gunners all returned to their positions to inspect the artillery."

Mantodia loudly ordered everyone on the ship in an orderly manner, "It's still the same as before. Be prepared to withdraw first. If you can't help it, we won't fight."

He doesn't need to think about the strength and firepower configuration of the navy at all, because the navy is basically fixed in this regard.

It's just that there are some differences in the model and size of the warships, but the data of all models have been in his head for so many years.

The warship in front should be a medium-sized ship, which can carry about sailors. It has cannons on the left and right strings, and three batteries of main guns in the front.

So when they encountered naval warships, they would not fight if they could, especially a small pirate group like them.

And this kind of single warship should not be chasing after it.

But as time passed, the warship behind them was still following them, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

"Could it be that you encountered a fool?" Locksani gritted her teeth and cursed, "For a ship to dare to chase us like this, you are crazy about military glory."

"In that case, let's fight, anyway, they only have one, and the warship is obviously faster than ours." Mantodia's eyes flashed fiercely.

"If we can kill them, our bounty will definitely be tens of millions more, and there will definitely be more people joining us."

"Maybe there will be someone with the ability of the Bug Fruit"

On the warship, Rear Admiral DeWitt smiled, "Sure enough, it's right to bring only one warship, it will make these pirates feel lucky."

He actually knew that doing so was very risky. Although the first half of the Grand Line was called a paradise, there were also some difficult characters.

So he had already agreed with Lieutenant General Cornell, and there were two warships just behind them, which was a standard patrol lineup.

"Then the rest is up to you. Let me see what you have achieved in the past few months."
