From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Even happier than these pirates are the reporters from the World Economic News and other newspapers.

They kept clicking the shutter buttons frantically. From this morning till now, they had no idea how much film they had used.

Some are happy, some are worried.

Some of the small-time pirate groups that had just entered the New World were devastated after seeing the devastating battle between the powerful navy and the captains of the three major pirate groups.

Some of them were already planning to leave the New World as soon as possible.

As the sun sets, its afterglow spreads over the sea.

Under the command of Chief of Staff Crane, the naval fleet began to retreat in an orderly manner.

The pirates were about to give chase, but were quickly called back.

Vice admirals such as Kuzan, Sakaski, and Borsalino are still fighting on the front line and have not retreated yet.

Not to mention the top fighters like Zephyr, Sengoku, Garp, etc., they are biting Charlotte Linlin, Whitebeard, and Kaido tightly.

Vincent withdrew his gaze, and the wailing of the wounded soldiers lingered in his ears.

"Kyle! Woohoo~, you must be kidding. You are so tough, how could you die?"

"Hao Te! Ah~"

"..."

The surviving sailors were covered in wounds.

Seeing their familiar companions lying lifeless on the deck with pale faces, they either sobbed softly, cried loudly, or beat their chests and stamped their feet.

After venting their emotions, great hatred burned in their eyes.

Many veteran soldiers who had experienced many battles looked sad when they saw this scene.

But they just patted his shoulders comfortingly and said nothing.

They have experienced this kind of thing so many times that they are now a little numb.

On the flagship deck.

Staff Officer Crane stood facing the wind.

She looked out at the fierce battlefield in the distance with worry in her eyes.

"Alas! This war..." Staff Officer He sighed suddenly, not knowing what he was thinking about.

To be honest, deep down she didn't think much of this war.

Although the navy's strength, both at the grassroots and mid-level levels, is far greater than the sum of the three major pirate groups, the area that the navy has to protect is too large.

This time, the Marine Headquarters was under tremendous pressure, summoned the elite navy, and brazenly went into war with the three major pirate groups: Whitebeard, Beasts, and Big Mom. This was already the limit of the Marine Headquarters.

After the failure of this war, the navy's power will be compressed to the first half of the Grand Route.

Just as Chief of Staff He was deep in thought, a marine suddenly walked quickly behind her.

The marine saluted first, then reported with a slightly trembling voice: "Report...to Staff Officer Crane."

At this point, he paused slightly.

After taking a deep breath, he continued to report: "Today's battle damage has been reported."

"Six warships sank, 6 were seriously damaged, and 12 were slightly damaged."

"2306 casualties, 879 missing, 3790 seriously injured, 8967 slightly injured."

After finishing the report, the navy man stood there motionless.

Staff Officer He remained expressionless throughout the entire report until the end.

She then waved her hand, signaling the sailor to leave.

Staff Officer He took the battle damage report and read it carefully under the dim light.

"Oh!" After reading it, she sighed heavily.

Although her face was expressionless, the sadness in her heart was no less than that of others.

But she is the highest commander of the navy at this stage and cannot show any emotion in front of the soldiers.

The navy suffered such heavy casualties, not to mention the casualties on the pirate side.

The casualties among the lower ranks of the pirates were almost twice that of the navy.

Among them, the advanced weapons imported from the Kingdom of the Netherlands accounted for a great contribution.

It's getting late.

On the sea in the distance, Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, Kaido, Whitebeard, and Charlotte Linlin were fighting fiercely.

After a day of fighting, they are still full of energy.

Kuzan, Sakaski, and Borsalino, the three future admirals of the navy, still have plenty of strength and have no intention of letting the pirates go.

Helpless! The strong among the pirates could only try their best to delay these three fierce attacking vice admirals by fighting in a round-robin manner.

To say that Kuzan, Sakaski, and Borsalino were lieutenant generals is simply to belittle them.

Relying on the ability of the natural devil fruit, their current strength is not weaker than that of the admiral-level strongmen.

However, since they still lack some military merit and Marshal Kong has not yet stepped down, they are still lieutenant generals.

On the navy ship, all the naval soldiers went to sleep early after having a simple dinner.

The aftermath of the battle in the distance occasionally rolled up huge waves.

In the waves, the warship is like a small boat, drifting with the current.

The people on the warship were swaying with the ship, but the naval soldiers were reluctant to open their eyes.

The feeling of exhaustion made them want to fall into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Following the urgent ringing of bells, the naval soldiers reluctantly got up.

Without even bothering to stretch their stiff bodies, they quickly gathered under the order of their superior.

As soon as the day broke, after a not-so-hearty breakfast, they began to make preparations for war.

Recalling the tragic plight of their former colleagues, the naval soldiers were filled with overwhelming rage and undisguised murderous intent.

Seeing this, the admirals nodded imperceptibly: "It seems that there is no need to boost morale."

After everything was ready, the navy fleet slowly sailed towards the pirates.

This time, both sides tacitly stayed away from the battlefield of the strong men.

The naval fleet opened fire first.

The pirates were not to be outdone and continued to advance under the heavy fire until the navy ships came within range.

Then there was a shootout that lasted more than ten minutes.

When the pirates were about to approach, all the navy soldiers on the warship took out their weapons.

In a moment, the pirates and the navy started fighting again.

The pirates and navy, overwhelmed by anger and hatred, became even crazier.

The sounds of gunfire, artillery fire, shouting and screaming were endless.

The battlefield filled with smoke and blood crazily stimulated the nerves of everyone present.

Whether it was the navy or the pirates, all of them had red eyes, and the only thing in their eyes was the enemy in front of them.

No one cared about the wounded who fell to the ground, and the injuries that could have been saved gradually became irreversible as time passed.

Vincent and other insect people are the rare ones in the navy who can remain sober.

Instead of focusing on killing the pirates, they chose to rescue the wounded.

Even in the face of orders from their superiors, they did not back down.

Gradually, Staff Officer He also discovered the existence of Vincent and others.

After learning about it, Staff Officer He's eyes flashed with gold, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he admired Vincent and the others very much.

But no one knows what Chief of Staff He is thinking.

The intense fighting lasted from morning to afternoon.

Even the people watching the game found it a bit boring.

The onlookers had no interest in the fighting among the lower-level minions.

The reality is so cruel.

They fought desperately, but they couldn't even please everyone.
