Six Paths of Pirates

Chapter 161 The Darkest Hour
Is it unwillingness not to kill Blackbeard?Or is it because of the resentment that Big Mom and Kaido drove the Whitebeard Pirates to the end?Or is it another reason?

Maybe Marco himself couldn't explain why, he finally bet on Nagato, and Zefa did leave Smir Island with this unclear sentence.

"News from the front, the remnants of Whitebeard have all been wiped out." Behind, the herald delivered the news report to Cyrus.

At this time, they have safely completed the evacuation. In addition to arranging some personnel to stay on the route that Big Mom and Kaido must pass through, the main body of the Dressrosa Army and the Pirate Guerrilla Army are divided into three parts, and the core three islands cooperate to Garrison, and most of them are in Cyrus' current position - the golden land, Andor.

Of course, even the successful evacuation of Dressrosa was not without cost.

During Jhin's pursuit, seven of Dressrosa's forty warships were damaged, and more than [-] soldiers fell into the sea. Rescue was impossible under the circumstances at that time. Objectively speaking, the probability of these people surviving was almost zero.

The pirate guerrillas also suffered losses, two of the thirteen warships were sunk, and thousands of soldiers did not return to the three islands.

In addition, there were several soldiers who died directly in the battle. In short, in this urgent and difficult retreat, Jhin alone caused more damage to Dressrosa and the pirate guerrillas. It has far surpassed the record of the Pirate Alliance on Smir Island.

The sacrifice of the soldiers is indeed heartbreaking, but the most important thing right now is the unending war.

So Cyrus is doing his best to collect and analyze intelligence and use it to formulate the next strategy.

"Whitebeard's remnant... No, the Whitebeard Pirates are completely over like this." Cyrus couldn't help expressing emotion, and it was probably because Marco's final exit method was too strong, which caused the name in his mouth to change. .

Cyrus looked serious: "Now the outer sea area has been captured, and the middle circle is the last barrier. Once it falls, the core hinterland and even the three islands will directly face the enemy's Bingfeng."

So he ordered: "Convey it, let the ministries do a final check on the layout of the middle circle, and then wait for my order, ready to fight at any time!"

"Yes!"

Dressrosa is tensely moving up and down, and the troops and traps deployed on the middle circle route and islands are also ready, but no one knows that this is not a war that they are expected to win. The garrisons and traps along the way Perhaps the ambush is more about buying time.

But the speed of the enemy's breakthrough is still far beyond imagination.

Everyone knows that the combination of Big Mom and Kaido is an unstoppable combination, but only when the facts are really in front of them, people will have a real sense of how far the power of the strongest man in the world has surpassed ordinary people's cognition.

In just three to 10 minutes, the defense in the middle circle completely collapsed, and the reason why the speed is so fast that it takes more than this time for ordinary ships to sail in without hindrance is precisely because Big Mom and Kaido took the lead and left behind. The fleet behind them killed themselves.After ten sessions of force, all the layouts collapsed, and the Dressrosa sea area completely opened the door to pirates!

Of course, Mishima is the main force of Dressrosa and the pirate guerrillas. In other words, Cyrus' previous strategic direction is correct. Currently, Dressrosa still retains almost complete troops for combat However, the people on the three islands also felt a little more stable because of the presence of cadres and soldiers.

But Cyrus and the others have already seen the scene of the battle once Big Mom and Kaido arrive. Even if Zefa comes to support, even if there are nearly [-] soldiers from Dressrosa and Pirate Guerrilla, facing two The Emperor of the Sea plus [-] pirate ships and an estimated [-] pirate enemies, no one can maintain an optimistic attitude.

Even though it was afternoon, night seemed to have descended on Dressrosa.

Temporarily turn your gaze to the other side.

The changes that have been profoundly affecting the Dressrosa War, and even the SMILE aspect that is itself the source of everything.

After sailing from the west coast of Punk Hazard, thirty degrees to the west and hundreds of miles away on the sea, a large ship is sailing at full speed, and the painting on its beating sails is the frightening Big Mom Pirates symbols of!
This ship is naturally Katakuri's mission and successfully captured Caesar's car. In order to avoid long nights and dreams on the way back, Katakuri, who has always been impeccable in doing things, kept the big ship moving forward at full speed.

It may be that the task this time is too dull, or it may be that there is really nothing to do on the ship. In the past hour or so, Katakuri unknowingly went around the big ship up and down. The general's movements were so slight that if the pirates on the ship didn't pay attention deliberately, they wouldn't notice his back and forth behavior.

But who among the pirates on the ship is so bored or has the courage to observe and speculate on Katakuri?
So under Katakuri's intention, he walked around every corner of the ship like a ghost, and he didn't really do it on a whim.

"Sure enough something is wrong." Katakuri sneered in his heart when he walked outside again, but his face was expressionless, showing no trace "There is a mouse hiding in, if it is not for the hint of knowledge, say It’s not good, he really ruined a big deal.”

"Bashas." Katakuri walked behind the big man, gestured with his right thumb to let him come with him.

When Bashas saw Katakuri's actions, he obeyed the order, and after the other party led him to a hidden place, he only heard him say to himself: "I will take Caesar and leave alone."

Bashas was taken aback, looked up at the general who was much taller than himself, and said in surprise: "Is there something wrong, Master Katakuri?"

Katakuri is fully aware of the characteristics of Bashas - strong executive ability, but not reassuring in his brain and adaptability. If he really explained the reason clearly, it might make him easy to show his feet, so Katakuri said : "You don't need to know the details, you just need to follow my arrangement."

Katakuri continued: "Later, you will arrange for a change of guards. I will take Caesar away in the middle of the gap, and then put down the life raft from the boat and leave. You just need to cooperate with my actions, and then proceed as normal. Make plans to return."

Katakuri is indeed very accurate in judging people. Bashas is indeed measured and able to execute things. Once he heard that he didn't let himself understand, he stopped thinking about it and simply responded to the order: "I understand. , Lord Katakuri."

With that, he turned and left to complete Katakuri's order.

Soon, the two who were guarding Caesar left under the orders of Bashas, ​​and the pirate who took over hadn't arrived yet. Katakuri quickly opened the door to take Caesar out and then came to the stern, covering Caesar's chest with one hand. Mouth put down the boat with one hand, and then brought Caesar into the boat.

In this way, the general took Caesar, the key figure who mastered SMILE, and left the big ship without a sound, and all the people on board except Bashas knew about it.

Naturally, the pirates don't know.

Naturally, Lu Qi didn't know.

Naturally, Nagato didn't know either.

This may be Dressrosa's darkest hour.
