Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"What are you afraid of? Are you worried that Kidd will betray us?"

Apu waved his hands and took a long time to utter two sentences according to his own sense of rhythm.

"It's not that, Captain. Our enemy this time is the Kuro Pirates. You should know what kind of monster that Blood Blade is, right?"

The crew member said this with a hint of fear, and everyone around him nodded.

"Yes, Boss, the captain of the Kuro Pirates is that Devil Blood Blade!"

When Blood Blade's name was mentioned, fear showed on the pirates' faces. Some of them had experienced the Sabaody Archipelago incident, and that devastating battle was deeply engraved in their souls.

"So what about the Kuro Pirates? Our forces will not be inferior to theirs this time!"

Appo seems to be very confident in this fight against the Kuro Pirates. He stands on the deck and looks at the surrounding pirate ships as if he is looking at his own subordinates.

"But Boss, even if we are as numerous as the Kuro Pirates, we are still no match for the strength of Bloodthirster and the others."

"Yeah, boss. Can we really defeat a monster like Blood Blade?"

"Of course I understand this, so let Kidd and Becky do the charging and we will just pick up the spoils of victory slowly from behind."

After Apu finished speaking insidiously, the crew members looked at each other and said, yes, why not let others lead the charge and just hide behind?

After realizing this, everyone immediately happily agreed.

"Boss, this is a great move."

"It's more than just high. Let the Kidd Pirates block the way. Even if they really defeat the Kuro Pirates, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. Then we can jump out and swallow them up!"

"Yes, Captain. This way, they will bear all the risks, while we can retain our strength. If they both lose, who knows, we might even become the new emperor of the sea in the end!"

"A new emperor of the sea? I haven't thought about that, but it's not impossible. Blah blah blah!"

Apoo laughed loudly, and the crew members around him also laughed sinisterly. Their laughter was so loud that it made the pirates on the surrounding ships quite confused.

"Captain, what are those guys from the next-door radio pirate group laughing at?"

"Who knows what those idiots are laughing at? Ignore them. Let's talk about our plan after landing on the island."

Becky held a meeting with his men on the ship. The content of the meeting was roughly similar to what Apu had just said. They all held an attitude of neither taking the initiative nor rejecting.

After the meeting, Witt approached Becky with a nervous look on his face.

"Godfather, are we really going to go to war with the Four Emperors?"

There was a worried expression on Witt's face. He had always disagreed with going to war with the Kuro Pirates, but since Bege decided to come, he didn't dare to disobey.

"At this point, we have no choice but to go to war. After all, as newcomers, if we want to gain a foothold in the new world, we must deal with one of the forces of these sea emperors."

Becky bit into the steak, his calm eyes showing ruthlessness. This guy started out as a mafia member, and he was much more ruthless than the average pirate.

"Then why did we choose to attack the Kuro Pirates? Godfather, we have witnessed the terrifying power of Blood Blade with our own eyes."

Becky put down the knife and fork in her hand when she heard Witt's question, and the crew members around her slowly gathered around after hearing the conversation here.

Becky glanced at the crew members surrounding him.

"I didn't agree when Bloody Blade was chosen as the target, but Kidd insisted on choosing the Kuro Pirates, and I couldn't stop him. Now that he has successfully infiltrated the Bankoku, this is the only way to go."

Becky didn't have any hesitation about this. Now that he had chosen his target, he would just try his best to kill him. This was what he had been doing since he was a child.

"But Godfather, Blood Blade has done a lot of legendary things. Not to mention Impel Down and the Marine Headquarters, the fact that he killed Big Mom is enough to show how terrifying his strength is."

"Yeah boss, do you want to think about this again?"

In addition to Werther, Gotti also came to persuade Becky.

Becky didn't say anything after listening. She picked up the cigar box on the table, opened it, took out a cigar and slowly lit it with a match. After taking a puff, she slowly exhaled the smoke.

"We have discussed this matter before, Kidd. As a new emperor-level power, Blood Blade doesn't have the terrifying reputation of Whitebeard, nor is he as secretive as Red Hair. That guy conquered a large amount of territory right after arriving in the New World."

"But Godfather, doesn't this just prove how terrifying his strength is?"

"It's true that he's incredibly powerful, but at the same time, he has too many territories to take care of. For example, after he defeated Big Mom, he just sent someone to take over Wan Guo instead of taking charge himself.

This means that he has no time to take care of this place. This is an opportunity for us. What we are betting on is that Kuro has no time to deal with the affairs of Wan Guo.

Even if he comes, he will most likely just send his men to fight. In this way, we are likely to be the winners of the War of Nations. Even if we lose, with so many guys here, I don’t think I will die first.”

Becky was smoking a cigar while speaking and pointed at the surrounding ships. Witt and Gotti nodded when they heard Becky's words. They understood that the pirates who followed them were treated as cannon fodder.

"Another point is that the more territory the Kuro Pirates occupy, the weaker the island's defense will be. This will make it easier for us to take over this territory."

"I see."

Witt and Gotti showed expressions of sudden enlightenment. Becky finished her cigar, looked at the cold steak, and waved to the chef to take it down and make a new one.

On the ship of Hawkins Pirates, the crew members stood on the deck and quietly surrounded Hawkins, watching him respectfully as he used tarot cards for divination.

After the tarot cards were laid out, Hawkins looked at the card representing death in his hand, and his expression immediately became solemn.

"Ah, the place of life and death."

After thinking for a long time, Hawkins sighed and put away the tarot cards with a complicated tone.

He originally didn't want to join the Supernova Alliance, but Apu and Becky made a heavy promise to him.

Driven by interests, Hawkins was finally tempted and appeared here on his pirate ship.
