Pirates: Rush to the Peak

Time slowly passed into the evening. Golden Lion was lying on the hospital bed, covered with bandages, while Cloe was holding Den Den Mushi beside the bed.

"Captain, thank God your Den Den Mushi is finally connected."

"What's wrong? I've been training against Enel all day today. You know his lightning ability. Any Den Den Mushi that gets close to him will be knocked unconscious. So I didn't bring it."

After a day of fighting, Kuro had just finished taking a shower and was wiping the water droplets on his body with a towel when he heard the telephone bug in the drawer ringing.

"Captain, Kaido suddenly came to Cake Island last night, and Senior Golden Lion was seriously injured by him. The crew on the island... Big Barrel just called and said that about 200 people were affected by the battle and died."

When Kuro heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing.

"That guy Kaido suddenly landed on the island? Tell me about the battle."

Kuro has reached the critical point of spewing fire. You should know that when Kuro Pirates went to destroy Banquet Island, the casualties of their pirate group were only more than 2,000 people, of which only about 900 were killed in battle.

However, this time when Kaido launched a surprise attack on Cake Island, two hundred people died, which really hurt Kuro.

Clo organized his thoughts and began to tell Ku Luo what happened from beginning to end.

Ten minutes later, Clo finished speaking.

Kuro's cold voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"I was planning to digest the territory of Wan Guo before considering other things, but I didn't expect Kaido to jump out and chop me first. In this case, I will kill him too."

"Notify the guys on Dimen Island to march directly to Wano Country early tomorrow morning!"

"I will chop off Kaido's head with my own hands!"

Kuro's face was gloomy, and the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees. The Den Den Mushi on the table tried its best to maintain Kuro's expression, but its body was shaking constantly.

"Okay Captain, I'll contact Dimen Island now."

Clo took out a bat-shaped Den Den Mushi from his arms and was about to dial the number when the Golden Lion on the bed suddenly reached out to stop him.

"Wait a minute, let me talk to Kuro."

"Senior Shiki, you are finally awake. Wait for me to call the doctor."

Clo put away the Den Den Mushi and hurried out. Golden Lion stretched out his hand for a long time behind him to get the Den Den Mushi, but Clo had already walked out of the ward.

After a while, several doctors rushed into the ward, stood beside the bed, and prepared to give Golden Lion a detailed examination.

Golden Lion pushed the instruments aside and reached out to push the doctors aside.

"Kro, give me Kuro's phone number. I need to talk to him about something."

"This patient is in a serious condition. Please let us check him first."

"Get away!!!"

The terrifying deterrent power of the Golden Lion frightened the doctors so much that they fell to the ground, then they got up and hid behind Clo.

Cloe tried to comfort everyone helplessly.

"Senior Shiki, what do you want from the Captain?"

"I will avenge Kaido. Tell Kuro not to interfere."

"That's impossible. The damage Kaido caused on Cake Island this time was too great. The captain would not agree to it."

"Then give me the Den Den Mushi and I'll talk to him."

Clo looked at Golden Lion's determined eyes, hesitated for a moment, and handed the Den Den Mushi to Golden Lion.

"Blu-b-b-b-b-b-lu, b-b-b-b-b-b-b-lu."

"Kacha!"

"Have they been notified?"

Kuro was getting dressed, and once he was dressed, he would wake up Eneel and Ryan, and let Ryan control the Ark Maxim, turn the ship around and head towards Wano Country instead of returning to Thunder God Island.

"Kuro, I will defeat Kaido, don't interfere."

When Kuro heard the voice of the Golden Lion coming from the Den Den Mushi, the corners of his mouth curled up and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The old lion was lucky enough not to die.

"Are you still alive, old man? How is it? It must be very uncomfortable to be defeated by your former shipmates."

Kuro started to act gloomy, and Golden Lion snorted coldly when he heard it.

"Humph, I've lost, so I lost. I beat Kaido pretty hard decades ago, so let's just call it a draw this time."

"Even? It's fine if you want to be even, but not me!"

"That guy cut off a piece of my flesh. I have to chop him off to vent my hatred!"

Kuro's angry voice was heard, and Den Den Mushi changed into a furious expression.

Clo, who was standing by, nodded silently when he heard what the captain said. The captain was right.

The Golden Lion caught sight of Clo in the corner and became furious.

"Don't just nod your head. Just agree to go to war when Kuro says so. Have you ever calculated how many troops we can mobilize with the current number of pirates?"

"There are still about 20,000 troops on Dimen Island and the thirteen surrounding islands."

Clo rubbed his brows, thought for a moment, and then answered affirmatively.

"Twenty thousand people? You must have counted everyone."

"Of course, everyone on the island can fight."

"Haha, you don't care about the defense of Dimen Island and the surrounding islands? Throw out the troops guarding the islands, and do the math again!"

After hearing this, Clo started to think again. After a moment of silence, Clo looked up at the golden lion again.

"Less than 8,000 people."

"Hmph, you've overestimated that. This time, we attacked Banquet Island with 12,000 soldiers. We lost about 900 soldiers after the battle. Then we occupied Banquet Island and the five surrounding islands, leaving us with 4,000 soldiers."

"Those islands haven't stabilized yet. The four thousand people can only watch the captives on the banquet island and can't go anywhere."

"This time I came to Cake Island, I brought a total of 6,000 people."

Speaking of Cake Island, a hint of anger flashed in the Golden Lion's eyes.

"The people I brought with me are to disperse and control all the nations. Excluding Cake Island, the remaining thirty-odd islands will be divided equally. These six thousand people are not enough. We will have to send more troops from Dimen Island."

"So now you tell me, where do we have extra troops to go to war with the Beasts Pirates?"

After the calculation, the Golden Lion stunned Clo. How could the old man calculate so quickly? Besides, since their pirate group set out to sea, they only needed a few people to guard the island. Why did they need so many?

"Stay behind and guard the territory? There's no need for that. Once we conquer Wano Country, we'll have plenty of territory!"

Kuro's voice came out from the Den Den Mushi, and the Golden Lion was suddenly speechless.

"Then what are you fighting for? You worked so hard to build your family business, don't you value it so much?"

"Family business?"

Kuro really didn't take these things seriously. If he ran out of money, he would rob rich pirates. If he also had no money, then sorry, your head could also be sold for money.

They still had to rob weapons when they lost them, but with Ryan, they no longer needed to rob.

As for the territory, now that they have lost it, they will have to fight for it. The Moling Island and the surrounding islands, the Dimen Island and the surrounding islands, every one of them was not seized by them.

Do these count as family property? No!

Mori said to blow up the Maring Island, and Kuro thought it was a good thing to blow it up, without any regrets. As a pirate, if he was short of territory, why not just grab a piece directly? Why bother looking back?

After defeating the enemy, the territory will naturally be yours, so there's no need to worry about staying behind in the base camp.

"You lion, take good care of your injuries. I will avenge Kaido for you. I will definitely go to Wano Country to trample on it."

After saying this, Kuro hung up the Den Den Mushi. How could this old lion become so cowardly? Wasn't he very powerful when he was competing with Roger for wealth?

Seeing that the Den Den Mushi was hung up, Golden Lion got so angry that he started coughing violently. The doctors rushed over and used all kinds of instruments on Golden Lion.

I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his life was not in danger.
