Pirates: The wages are in place and the Yonko will be kicked out.

As we all know, although the navy and pirates, including large pirate groups and small pirate groups, have differences in equipment and weapons, they are still nothing compared to the discipline gap between them.

This also leads to the fact that when faced with a strong enemy and under full pressure, the navy can fight against the wind and wait for opportunities to counterattack. However, once the pirates encounter an unfavorable situation, they will easily collapse across the board and run for their lives.

The discipline of the Navy is undoubtedly reflected in Luffy and others who already trust each other and are now inextricably linked to the Navy.

That's right - why did Sanji still fight with Eric for so long even though he could kill him in an instant like this? Not only because he is very cautious and constantly testing the opponent's strength, but also because as a battlefield controller, he must ensure that the evacuated companions reach the scheduled progress and see their signals.

If he eliminates the enemy too quickly, causing the enemy's stronger reinforcements to arrive in advance, affecting the actions of his companions, then the gain outweighs the loss.

"Next time this kind of work should be handed over to the green algae head..."

Sanji fell to the ground, and after confirming that Eric had completely passed out, he lit a cigarette for himself, puffed away happily, and looked in the direction of the temple on the top of the mountain, "I am still suitable for quick and decisive attacks. Task……"

…

In the Millennium Dragon Temple on the top of the mountain, Nami's signal tone also reached the ears of the two people here.

"Then it's time to start our battle!"

Sauron excitedly bit the third famous sword in his mouth - although compared to Eric, Major Hardy has behaved very ordinary since his first appearance, and he also did nothing here just like Sauron. ...But Sauron could feel that this guy was a formidable enemy.

This is indeed the case——

Major Hardy looked at Sauron and rubbed his hands with a sneer. The rust-like debris fell off, and his aura continued to rise:

"Your companions really did not disappoint me...saved me the trouble of doing it myself!"

That's right, betrayal can only happen once and for the umpteenth time - Major Hardy and Captain Eric betrayed their superiors just to get the keel, and similarly, they were in such a state that they could betray each other at any time.

Otherwise, when Major Hardy insisted on following Luffy and others into the hurricane circle, Captain Eric would have really obeyed his arrangements and waited on the warship instead of deciding to follow them together - he was not trying to protect them. His allies are simply distrustful and have other motives.

However, according to Major Hardy's original idea, he planned to kill Eric himself later, and Sanji among Luffy's group directly helped him achieve his goal in advance.

And Eric - although he had the same idea as Major Hardy, he miscalculated his own strength and Sanji's strength, and became the first victim.

"A person with abilities..."

Zoro frowned as he observed the strange behavior on Major Hardy.

"That's right, and it's an ability that no swordsman can defeat...Superman type, Rust Fruit!"

Another Devil Fruit ability that has changed due to Porusalino's time travel has appeared - the superhuman Rust Fruit that was originally supposed to be eaten by Colonel Shoon of the Navy Headquarters, now appears in the body of Major Hardy.

However, it is also like an automatic correction of the trajectory of fate - in the original plot, Colonel Shuen fought with Sauron, corroding his "Snow Walk". But at this moment, Major Hardy and this ability that can be called the swordsman's natural enemy were face to face with Sauron again.

"Rust Storm!"

…

"No, the navy is chasing us here!!"

On the other side, Luffy and others had just completed the sailing of the Golden Merrie, and Sanji had just brought the half-dead Eric on board, when Chopper suddenly pointed to the starboard side.

The flag hanging on the warship is the GR-173 branch to which Eric and Major Hardy belong - the two men had previously pursued them on this warship.

But in order to prevent the tool ship from being destroyed by hurricanes and waves, the two men arranged for the warship to be on standby outside the hurricane circle. Theoretically, the warship at this time should not appear here on Lost Island.

"The major and captain...were they originally operating separately from the warship? So they are getting reinforcements now?"

Although Chopper judged that the half-dead Eric would definitely not wake up for a while, and he would be unable to do anything if he woke up, Sanji still used the sea stone chain that Nami took with her when she left the headquarters to firmly bind him. He tied up.

Sanji then looked in the direction of the warship, as if he could take action at any time: "Do you need me to deal with them? Nami?"

"Sanji wait a minute, don't rush to take action!"

Nami shook her head cautiously, "Franky, are there any signs that they are going to attack?"

"not yet!"

Zoro, who usually acted as a lookout on the observation deck, was away at the moment, so Franky picked up the telescope and took over his job. In his judgment, the warship had no intention of attacking them, but was just constantly attacking them. approaching.

"Is it because Grandpa Long is here with us?"

Abis guessed - even a child like her now knows that the keel of the thousand-year dragon on Grandpa Long's body is something that these navy absolutely want to get their hands on. And if a cannonball accidentally hits the Golden Melly, everything will be over.

Nami gave the order decisively: "Let's avoid them directly, set off now and move forward in a straight line to the west!"

"Eh?! Nami! But Zoro is still here..."

"Admiral Porusalino will be here soon. He will help us pick up Sauron. Don't worry... We just need to take care of ourselves and Grandpa Long now, and get rid of these marines first!"

…

"Master Timothy! That pirate ship of Luffy's group is getting ready to escape!"

A man named Timothy was listening to Lieutenant General Nelson's report on the deck of the warship - yes, the warship that was supposed to be on standby outside the hurricane circle pursued it to the Lost Island because "the oriole is there." Later, Lieutenant General Nelson and Timothy took over the command of the warship.

"Are the Thousand-Year Dragons together too?"

"Yes! The Millennium Dragon is still with them!"

"Very good! Then you can lead your men to chase them, Nelson. The destination of these guys is still Battleship Island."

"Yes! But Mr. Timothy, you..."

Lieutenant General Nelson's attitude seems very attentive, but in fact, Timothy can tell at a glance that he is hypocritical - this guy only cares about how to secretly express his merits to the five old stars after the mission is completed, and he is not like Timothy. A direct way to contact the Five Old Stars.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

".Yes! Then I'll take action now!"

After leaving a small boat for Timothy, Nelson immediately issued an order: "Attention all members! Get ready to set off! Turn the ship around and prepare to pursue the pirate ship westward!"

Nelson closed his mouth tightly as he watched Timothy leave the warship and drive a small boat to the island alone.

(Don’t ask anything you shouldn’t ask...I will definitely let you return the humiliation I have suffered! Once the Five Old Stars get the King Dragon Bone of the Thousand-Year Dragon and realize my value...just wait and see! )

…

"Is Zoro really okay?"

On board the Golden Merli, Abis was so worried that she became restless. In front of her, Sanji, who had taken off his shirt and wrapped his wrists, was lying on the sofa to rest. At the same time, Chopper was also treating Sanji. He couldn't help but wanted to join in the fun. Luffy, and Nami who wanted to discuss countermeasures with her friends.

——Franky now controls the progress of the Golden Merry alone.

"Don't worry, Abis. Although the guy with the green algae head is much weaker than me, he still has some skills... Besides, if he can't defeat the guy named Major Hardy, General Porusalino I will arrive in time!"

Although Eric was easily eliminated at the last moment in the previous battle, the wind knife summoned by this guy's sickle fruit still gave Sanji some minor scratches - although he thought it was nothing, But Chopper, the doctor, insisted on letting him lie on the sofa and rest:

"Who knows if that guy's wind knife is clean? And we don't know the situation on this lost island... If the wound is infected with some serious bacteria, it will be troublesome!"

"Hahaha, just hearing what Chopper said makes me feel relieved even if I am seriously injured. You are such a great and excellent doctor..."

"Stupid, stupid! Even if you praise me like this! I, I won't be happy!!"

Chopper, as always, gave a very arrogant reaction.

"But then again, Franky—where is the Navy now?"

Through the call system throughout the Golden Merry, Nami contacted Franky who was driving.

"We haven't chased them yet, but judging from the last appearance of their warship, those people knew we were going to Warship Island."

"It's really haunting. How can there be such a scum in the navy!"

Abis could feel the fighting spirit in Luffy's eyes - but wasn't Luffy a pirate? Why are you so angry about the presence of scum in the Navy?

"Well," Nami said with a strange expression, "Scumbags can be found everywhere. In short, our goal now is to find the Dragon's Nest before these navy!"

After Chopper treated Sanji's wounds, he closed the first aid box, and Nami and others walked up the ladder to the deck outside the cabin.

The night sky dotted with stars is very beautiful, and the gentle sea breeze brings a coolness that makes people subconsciously relax.

"I'm sorry! It's because of me that you have to fight these navy!"

Thinking of Zoro who was still on the Lost Island, and Sanji whose wounds she had just seen being treated, Abis didn't know what to say other than apologizing.

"ah?"

"Pirates don't want to deal with the navy! And you also have your own adventures."

"Well, the pirates you are talking about, Abis, do not include us. Hey! Don't cry! It's because our combat power is not enough and we can't easily defeat the enemy, which is why Abis is crying!"

"No! You guys."

"Stop thinking nonsense! Abis!"

Sanji also walked out of the cabin. He had completed the "rest mission" Chopper ordered him to do. Hearing Abis's cry, he comforted - "This little thing is nothing! And - —If you have the chance, you must meet with Admiral Porusalino, so that you will know how insignificant these naval enemies we are facing right now are."

"That Mr. Porusalino"

"You'll know his condition when you see him! Well, go see Grandpa Long now! I've been sick these days, I'm afraid I won't be able to cook!"

Sanji winked and forcibly changed the subject.

"I'll do it! I'll do Grandpa Long's and everyone's meals! So, Sanji, you must get well soon!"

Abis walked towards the kitchen energetically.

Behind her, Sanji raised the corners of his mouth and made a planning gesture towards his companions.

So at dinner time, only the captain, who only knew how to eat regardless of taste, ate to his heart's content.

the next day.

A warship suspected to be the GR-173 branch of the Navy appeared in the sight of the Golden Mellie sailing west. Although it was still far away, even with a telescope, only a vague outline could be seen, but Chopper, who was standing on the observation deck, immediately reminded his friends of the situation.

But with his subsequent observation - "No, no! Nami, it's three warships!"

"Three ships?! How could it be three ships?"

Nami was suddenly startled, leaned out from the side of the ship, and looked in the direction indicated by Chopper with her binoculars. soon--

"You're wrong, Chopper, that's just a warship."

"But Nami, there are obviously three of them side by side."

"That is a new warship with a confidentiality level that is still being tested. It is indeed easy to think of it as three warships at such a distance. After all, whether it is size, firepower, or overall performance, it is several times that of the old warship - especially The main mast of the sailboat that has become the center of the tactical system has three!"

Nami explained with a serious look: "But such important war weapons that are still under testing are usually active around the gray test port at this stage. Even Marine Fando should not see them. How could they appear here?"
