Pirates: Hades!

In the storm, the Oro Jackson quickly left the location of the island battleship.

However, they did not intend to leave directly. They needed time to recover, especially Roger, who had reached his limit and lost his combat power.

At least he should rest for a day or two before leaving.

The storm field at this time was also a kind of shelter. There were no telling how many people were watching them and preparing to beat them up.

Especially the navy. According to Roger and his understanding, the navy would never miss this opportunity.

The piercing chill in the strong wind made people's blood cold.

The once bustling ship was silent.

The atmosphere on the ship was a little depressed, and the crew members quietly looked at the lifeless bodies on the deck.

These were their companions who had been with them day and night, and now they had sacrificed like this.

Roger knelt on his knees on the ground, drinking wine mouthful after mouthful.

War is cruel, everyone knows it.

Before deciding to fight the Feikong Pirates, they were ready to sacrifice, after all, the Feikong Pirates were indeed stronger than them.

But when the reality was in front of them, they still couldn't hide the sadness in their hearts.

In the sailing for many years, the Roger Pirates have not been without casualties.

In the previous siege battle of the navy, the Roger Pirates had fighters sacrificed, but the number was not large, only a few.

This battle was the most tragic sacrifice since the establishment of the Roger Pirates.

Originally, the Roger Pirates had more than 70 crew members, but now there are only nearly 60 left.

The young, powerless Shanks and Buggy knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

They stayed on the ship and did not participate in this battle. They watched their partners who were with them day and night die in battle, but they could do nothing.

If the battle between the crews of both sides had not stopped tacitly, leaving only the top combat power or even the battle between the two captains,

The casualties of the Roger Pirates would definitely be more tragic.

This battle was a major blow to Roger's Pirates.

But people always have to keep moving forward.

No ship has come here without casualties, unless it is cheating.

Even in the Pluto Pirates, the cadres that Hades favored basically grew up smoothly, and one cadre died in the war in the early days.

"Cobra" Woshi now has a child left, which is a pity for Hades, and he is also paying some attention to him secretly.

He has grown up over the years and joined the Pluto Pirates, with potential no less than Woshi.

In the Royal Military Academy, those members with outstanding potential will be selectively rewarded with devil fruits by the Kingdom of Chronos.

Eating devil fruits early can develop abilities earlier and have more time.

At least in the Kingdom of Chronos, there will be no problem of relying too much on devil fruits.

The son of Woshi has excellent performance, paranoid personality, hard training, and because of his father's identity, he got a good animal-type devil fruit, the snake-snake fruit·black mamba form.

In short, this stage has been passed, and the Sky Pirates will not be an obstacle to their final voyage.

Suddenly.

"Ahem!"

Roger, who was drinking, coughed violently, and the wine in his mouth sprayed out, mixed with some black blood.

His body reached its limit, coupled with his inner grief, and the terminal illness suddenly broke out, causing Roger's body to collapse.

Roger lost consciousness and fell on the deck. The sudden change scared everyone.

"Roger!"

"Captain!"

The ship's doctor, Crocus, rushed to Roger to check his body at the first time.

Roger is the spiritual pillar of the pirate group. If something really happens, they don't know what to do afterwards, especially after just experiencing a big battle.

On the other side, using the island battleship to block the rain, the Sky Pirates also left after the battle.

"Admiral, we could have won this battle."

Reinhard looked at Shiki, somewhat confused about Shiki's thoughts.

Without Shiki's acquiescence, the war would not stop.

Although many of his fleet captains and cadres were not completely submissive to Shiki, they were definitely unwilling to fight to the death with a powerful pirate group like the Roger Pirates.

But if Shiki insisted, the war would continue unless one side surrendered or was destroyed.

After all, the Feikong Pirates have an advantage.

Compared with the losses, the Feikong Pirates must be smaller than the Roger Pirates.

Because they are stronger, every Roger Pirates fighter has to face the siege of several strong men.

In the end, the battle lasted for a few days. How could the Roger Pirates survive so many people? Only a dozen or so people were left.Ten people is the maximum.

But Shiki didn't do that. He had fought Roger to death before. I don't know why such a change happened.

This is what Reinhardt wondered.

"The loss would be too great."

Shiki explained casually, but Reinhardt knew that this was not the real reason.

Controlling the island battleship and the pirate ship did not bring too much pressure to Shiki. The consumption of physical strength by using abilities was not as fast as his recovery speed.

Perhaps it was his self-esteem that Shiki did not want to defeat Roger in this way.

When facing John, Silver Axe and Wang Zhi were the same. Shiki did not want to rely on external forces and defeated Roger with his own strength.

Only in this way can he be considered a winner.

Unfortunately, in the end, he did not succeed. The two were evenly matched until the end without a winner.

"It would be interesting if it wasn't like this, otherwise this world would be too boring."

Thinking of this, Shiki smiled.

If there is no strong man who can really stand shoulder to shoulder with himself in this sea, what's the point?

Roger is obviously that person.

So is Whitebeard, but he has fallen into inferiority, and he does not take the Whitebeard Pirates seriously.

So is Hades.

Hades was present at the Pirate Expo held by the Sky Pirates last year, but he did not show up.

He came secretly, and not many people knew about it.

Facing Hades, Shiki only felt more terrifying, and he was invulnerable in all aspects.

In a real fight, it is still unknown who will win, but Hades has a higher chance of winning, at least in close combat, Shiki is not sure.

Since joining the Rocks Pirates more than 20 years ago, as he grew and became stronger, fewer and fewer people can be taken seriously by him.

The entire sea has not exceeded the number of hands so far, and there is also the monster swordsman who won the title of "World's No. 1 Swordsman" in secret.

And "Lonely Red" Redfield, who has not shown any trace on the sea for a long time.

Time is running out for Roger, and Shiki doesn't know how long Roger can hold on.

As an opponent he truly recognizes, Shiki also doesn't want to leave Roger with regrets.

So he decided to let go.

As for any grudges, there is nothing that can't be solved by a big battle. Shiki's anger has disappeared during the battle with Roger.

No matter what Roger wants to do.

Of course, what he said is not wrong. Fighting to the death with Roger's pirate group, even if they can win in the end, it will be a miserable victory.

At least one-third of the combat power with him will be lost, or even nearly half.

If his left and right hands died in the battle, there would be no place to cry.

Such a huge loss is basically difficult to recover, so Shiki doesn't want to see that scene happen.

Moreover, Shiki doesn't completely believe in other members in his heart, and they have different thoughts. Who knows if someone will suddenly betray him.

He climbed up from an ordinary crew member of the Rocks Pirates, so he has naturally experienced a lot.

In essence, the current Hiku Pirates are no different from the Rocks Pirates.

Except for a few crew members, it is impossible to be as united and cohesive as the Roger Pirates.

That is what Shiki envied, and the current path is also Shiki's own choice.
