Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"Monks don't tell lies. Everything I say comes from the bottom of my heart."

"You just love to tell the truth."

"Let me see how your injuries are recovering."

Urouge smiled and handed over his arm. The ship's doctors worked together to remove the bandage on his arm. After receiving Urouge's praise, they removed the bandages much faster!

After the bandages were removed, Ulqui's hideous scars were revealed, and the ship's doctors couldn't help but sigh when they saw it.

"The injuries you sustained were truly horrific. If it were anyone else, they would have died long ago."

Ulki nodded in agreement.

"So I was lucky in the end. I met Xilu at the last moment, and he used his knife to cut the shackles off my body."

Seeing the wounds on his body, Urouge's expression became silent. Hawkins transferred the damage to him through the power of his fruit. He didn't know what was going on and felt powerless.

The reason he didn't die at Hawkins' hands was thanks to the ability of his fruit, which instantly converted all the damage he suffered into an increase in strength.

Relying on his strong physical fitness, he managed to get through it!

"Captain Xiliu is indeed very powerful. If it was Captain Pizarro who did it, I'm afraid you would have been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks by now."

"Tingdan, keep your voice down. If Captain Pizarro hears you, you'll be in trouble!"

The ship's doctor, who was wiping the wound, quickly covered his mouth upon hearing this and looked around guiltily.

The others almost laughed out loud when they saw him like this.

"Don't worry, Captain Pizarro won't show up."

"how do you know?"

"When I went to get something from the ship just now, I saw him on the deck with the captain. I didn't hear what they were talking about, but he shouldn't be back so soon."

"Huh, that's good."

Hearing that the King of Evil Government would not appear, the crew members who had just spoken wildly breathed a sigh of relief.

As everyone chatted and laughed, they changed Ulki's medicine and re-bandaged him.

"Thank you for the treatment."

"You're welcome. We did this just as the captain ordered us to do."

The ship's doctors were packing up the medicines they had taken out. When they heard his words, they answered with a smile. After packing up, everyone left, leaving Ulki sitting here in a daze.

He was thinking about where to go next. After he was defeated by Kidd and others, many of his men were killed to save him.

The remaining few lucky guys all hid, hoping to avoid the enemy's search. Later he was rescued, but his ship had sunk into the sea, so he had no way to contact the surviving crew members.

"Ang~"

"Clang clang clang!"

Alarms and bells rang together, and Urouge didn't understand what was going on. Suddenly, he saw all the pirates who stayed on Pine Cone Island running towards the ruined port not far away.

"Everyone is ready. A pirate ship appeared on the sea and they are rushing straight towards us!"

"Can you see the pirate flag?"

"It's a bit far away and I can't see clearly."

"Are you sure it's not one of ours who's here to join in the fun?"

"I'm sure! Because the ship he was riding on was different in shape from our warship. Even though we were still some distance apart, I could still tell them apart from the appearance of the ship."

The crew member holding the telescope spoke in a serious tone after hearing the answers from his companions.

This guy was a shameless stalker before he went out to sea, but his targets were those wealthy navy men. He would follow them to deserted places and then kidnap them.

The reason for going out to sea was because he failed once and was killed by the navy, and then sent to Impel Down. After that, Kuro destroyed Impel Down and ran out with him.

"Inform the captain. He will be very happy to know."

"Hey, there are guys who are not afraid of death coming here to cause trouble. Isn't this giving us credit?"

"Don't move, I'll go first!"

.........

Everyone's face was filled with excitement. Do you know how difficult it is to encounter the enemy?

Everyone was holding their weapons and ready to go, silently saying in their hearts, come on, come quickly!

Ulki heard the noise and came over curiously.

"What are you doing?"

The sudden voice behind them startled them. When they turned around and saw it was Urouge, they showed an unhappy expression.

"Ulki, what are you doing here?"

"You have nothing to do here, leave now."

"That's right, this is our pirate group's business and has nothing to do with you."

The crew members drove Ulqui away, but Ulqui didn't care when he heard it. He still asked them what they were doing with a smile.

Seeing him like this, everyone could only helplessly point to the sea in the distance.

"See that black spot over there? Mista said it was a pirate ship. It's probably a member of the former Supernova Alliance."

"How could the Supernova Alliance members only arrive now?"

"What's so strange about that? Maybe the enemy is too far away from here, so they only arrived today."

Ulki looked into the distance in disbelief. A black spot gradually grew larger under the clear sky. The crew member who had been observing with a telescope suddenly shouted in surprise.

"It's the flag of the Bonnie Pirates! This time we really guessed it right. The enemy is one of the supernovas, the glutton Bonnie!"

"It's really a supernova! Hahahaha, God has eyes! Everyone, get ready!"

"I can't wait any longer. I didn't make it to the previous battle, so I'm going to take the lead this time!"

"With me here, the head attack will definitely be mine!"

………………

The crew members were like chicken blood, talking one after another, and their words were full of desire for merit and anticipation of battle.

Urouge, who was standing behind them, had a confused look on his face. He remembered that after arriving on the island, when the supernovas gathered together for a meeting, no one mentioned inviting Bonnie to Cake Island.

So what on earth is she doing here now?

With doubts, Urouge did not leave, but stood here waiting for the pirate ship to approach.

The lookout on the pirate ship also saw the guys standing ready at the port.

"Captain! There seems to be an ambush on the island ahead. Everyone is holding weapons and looking at us!"

"what?"

Bonnie wasn't excited when she heard the news, but Yuyu jumped to the lookout, snatched his telescope and put it on her face.

The camera swept across the excited pirates and finally stopped on Urouge's huge figure!

"Strange monk?"

"Why is that weird monk here?!?"

Yuyu saw Ulki and shouted in surprise.

On the deck, Toots heard the name and turned over to the observation deck.

"Did you really see the strange monk?"

"Really? If you don't believe me, just watch for yourself."

Totz took the telescope and looked carefully, and happened to meet Ulki's eyes.

"It's really him. When did he join Blood Blade's army?"

"Now is not the time to worry about this. The guys on the shore are holding weapons and waiting for us to come over expectantly. What should we do now?"

"Idiot, do you even need to ask? Turn around and retreat now!"

"You're right, guys, retreat now!"

Yu Yu leaned over and shouted to the crew on the deck. After hearing the order, the people started to turn the sails and the helmsman also wanted to change course.

Bonnie suddenly yelled in the crowd.

"Stop it all!"

Upon hearing the captain's order, everyone immediately stopped and looked back at Bonnie.

Yuyu jumped down from above and looked at her anxiously.

"Bonnie, now is not the time for you to throw a tantrum. The guys on the island don't look like they're going to welcome us at all. We've definitely been tricked this time!"

"Now that I'm here, I have to meet Blood Blade no matter what and ask him about my father. Besides, I don't think it's worth it for Blood Blade to go through so much trouble to destroy us."

What Bonnie said made sense. Their pirate group was somewhat famous in the first half of the Grand Line, but to Blood Blade, they could be destroyed in a snap of a finger and were not worthy of him putting so much thought into them.

"But those guys on the island?"

"Since you saw the strange monk, it is very likely that guy is causing trouble. For example, he is the attacker and he wants to go to war with the Kuro Pirates!"

"That strange monk is so bold!"

A bunch of brainless guys digested this sentence in shock.

After Bonnie finished speaking, she turned and looked towards Pine Cone Island with an eager expression.

"You say, if we capture the strange monk and hand him over to Blood Blade, then he will owe us a huge favor in this matter?"

The amount of information was too much for the crew to digest Bonnie's words all at once. They could only stare at her blankly and nod subconsciously.

"It seems that what the captain said makes some sense."

"That makes more than just sense. If we can make Blood Blade owe us a favor, we can sail freely in the New World in the future!"

"Blood Blade's favor is very valuable!"

These guys imagined themselves lying on a mountain of treasures, throwing gold and jewels around at will. The more they thought about it, the happier they became, and finally they couldn't help laughing out loud.

“I’m rich! I’m rich!!!”

"Captain, let's hurry over there! Don't let those guys get away!"

"That's right, Captain, hurry over!"

The group hurried forward anxiously, as if what was waiting for them on the island was not enemies but piles of gold, silver and jewelry.

"Totz, did you hear that? Hurry up and drive the boat over!"

"Okay! Leave it to me from now on!"

Everyone on the ship looked excited, and Bonnie even ran to the bow, muttering to herself as she watched the Pine Cone Island getting closer and closer.

"Dad, I will see Bloody Blade soon. If he didn't lie to me, I will come to you soon. Wait for me, Dad!"

Amid the roar of seagulls, the pirate ship moved forward at full speed. When the pirates on the island saw this scene, they became more convinced of their previous judgment.

"Those guys dared to rush over after seeing us, they must be enemies!"

"Get ready for war!"

"Oh!!!!"

Several small cannons were pushed to the shore, and the gunners were on standby, waiting for the pirate ship to come into firing range.

Urouge always felt that something was wrong when looking at the scene in front of him, but he was not a member of the Kuro Pirates after all, so even if he made suggestions, the crew members would not adopt them.

Just like that, as both sides were making confused preparations, the pirate ship in the distance fired the first shot!

"coax!!!"

“Hohoho!!!”

Several shells were fired at the island. The crew on the island had been waiting for this moment!

"The enemy is firing, first phase, gunners attack!"

The artillery on the shore fired as ordered, the shells collided in the air and then a huge ball of fireworks bloomed in the air!

"boom!!!"

The shells that didn't hit pierced through the smoke and shot towards their targets!

"careful!"

Seeing that the shell was about to land on the island, a pirate holding a baseball bat jumped out from the crowd, holding the bat in both hands and staring intently at the trajectory of the shell.

At the moment when the shell was about to fall to the ground, a stick hit the shell and flew it into the air. The shell then exploded in the air after being hit!

"boom!"

The shells fired at the pirate ship all shot into the sea around the ship due to its remote distance, causing the entire ship to shake violently.

"Everybody hold on tight! I'm trying to get out of here!"

After Totz finished speaking, he controlled the rudder and made the pirate ship dodge left and right on the sea to avoid the flying shells.

During this period, the gunners on the ship did not stop and continued to fire in the chaos!

Some of the falling shells could not be stopped and exploded directly on the island!

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The impact of the explosion instantly blew away the surrounding enemies!

Kuro, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and got up from the bed, looking in the direction of Pine Cone Island vigilantly, his ears moving.

"Damn it!"

Kuro cursed softly and disappeared into the room. Barrett, who was sitting on a chair supervising the crew members building a house, suddenly saw a golden light disappear into the air.

His brows slowly frowned together.

"Was that Kuro just now?"

Barrett, sensing something had happened, stood up and chased towards the place where the golden light disappeared.

Under the bombardment, Bonnie's pirate ship had no way to dock and could only bypass the port and prepare to land on the island somewhere else.

When the pirates on the island saw the enemy trying to escape, they immediately screamed and chased after them. Since the artillery was difficult to carry, they left it where it was.

Urouge looked at their backs and didn't know for a moment whether to chase them. After thinking it over again and again, he realized that they had all disappeared. Urouge sighed.

"Just consider it as repaying the kindness of being rescued."

After saying that, he was about to chase after him, but at this moment a golden light flashed through the clouds, and Kuro fell from the sky stepping on a golden flaming cloud!

"Whoosh!"

Landing in front of Urouge, Urouge was about to speak when he suddenly met Kuro's golden eyes, and a feeling of fear emerged in his heart.

As the pupils trembled, the body couldn't help but tremble!

"Captain Kuro!"

"A bunch of brainless guys!"

Kuro didn't stay in front of Urouge for too long. He had just seen into Urouge's heart with his own eyes, and he couldn't really blame the crew member who attacked him without authorization.

After all, the crew members were not wrong. The only mistake was that he did not tell the crew to welcome the Bonney Pirates.

A feeling of irritation surged into his heart, and Kuro chased after the Bonney Pirates again.

After Kuro left, Urouge immediately collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, and his back was already wet with sweat.

"No matter how many times I've seen it, I can't resist this power!"
