Chapter 64: Roger Decides: We Are Friends! Heading to Hachinosu! (3)
"There's half a year until the God Valley incident!"
"Everyone, there's going to be a lot to do next!"
Steel Bone Kong looked at everyone, his eyes once again filled with burning intensity!
The Five Elders had fully realized this time that the threat of the Rocks Pirates was too great!
When the time came, the World Government would mobilize almost all its forces to strangle the Rocks Pirates!
Success or failure hinged on this one action!
However, in Steel Bone Kong's view, there was almost no possibility of the World Government losing!
After all, the difference in strength was too vast!
The Five Elders, Marines, CP0, Impel Down, the Science Unit, etc., and even top experts from World Government Allied Nations were coming!
It was almost like using the power of the entire world to besiege the Rocks Pirates!
As long as the Rocks Pirates dared to come, they would ensure they never returned!
"During this half-year, Kuzan, Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Dragon!"
"The four of you must make full use of your time and undergo hellish training every day!"
Steel Bone Kong turned his gaze to the four rookies.
If Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr were the backbone of this generation of Marines!
Then Kuzan, Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Dragon were the backbone of the next generation!
It had to be said that the next generation of Marines was also full of talent, not losing out to the Rocks Pirates!
"Fleet Admiral Kong! Rest assured, I will definitely double my efforts during this time and reclaim the humiliation from last time!"
Sakazuki clenched his fists, secretly determined!
Last time at the Gold City incident, he was almost killed by "The Most Heinous Criminal"!
This also made Sakazuki realize that while they were all rookies, people could not be generalized!
In short, evil cannot defeat justice!
Sakazuki could only comfort himself this way.
After speaking, Sakazuki left the meeting room directly to train!
Kuzan, Borsalino, and Dragon also left one after another to undergo hellish training!
"Good! Very good! I will supervise you during this time!"
Zephyr also got energetic!
His own strength had almost reached the Admiral level and also reached its limit!
Training hard wouldn't improve it much, so it was better to devote all his energy to Sakazuki and the others!
After all, these four had already shown huge potential!
Although not as terrifying as Rono, given time, these four could also become Admiral-level powerhouses and support the Marines!
"As for Roger and Chinjao, Garp, you go contact them."
Then Steel Bone Kong turned his gaze to Garp.
Garp had always been responsible for pursuing Roger and Chinjao.
With Chinjao, it was okay.
Steel Bone Kong always felt that Garp and Roger's relationship was a bit complicated, but he couldn't say exactly how.
However, it was definitely right to let Garp contact these two.
Garp did not refuse this.
The threat of the Rocks Pirates was obvious to all. Even if they had to use the power of pirates, they had to be destroyed!
"You contact Byrnndi World, Zephyr."
Zephyr and Byrnndi World had fought often, so it was best to leave it to him.
"As for 'The Aloof Red,' I will contact him personally."
Finally, Steel Bone Kong said.
Redfield was considered his fated enemy, and he often pursued him.
This person's personality was unpredictable, so it was unknown whether he would come.
After making all these arrangements, Steel Bone Kong announced the end of the meeting.
...
Meanwhile, the Roger Pirates had already entered the New World.
"It's really scary, Rono. To actually achieve such a thing!"
"Under the protection of the Marines and the Five Elders, he still killed 19 Celestial Dragons. Looks like I have to hurry up and catch up to you!"
Roger stood on the deck of the Oro Jackson, which was made entirely of Adam Wood.
Holding today's newspaper, he looked at the distant sea and sighed.
They had clearly set out to sea together, but the gap was getting wider and wider. Roger could only smile bitterly.
"Captain, a call from the Marines!"
"To be precise, it's a call from Garp!"
Just then, Vice Captain Rayleigh walked up to Roger, handed him a Den Den Mushi, and looked solemn.
"Garp? What is he calling for?"
As soon as these words came out, crew members like Scopper Gaban and Douglas Bullet stood up alertly.
Garp had pursued the Roger Pirates several times and was considered an arch-enemy.
"Hahaha! Why so nervous?"
"Answer it!"
Roger didn't care at all and answered the call directly.
"Hello, Roger, I have something to discuss with you!"
As soon as the call connected, Garp's serious voice came from the other side.
Then the two chatted for about ten minutes. The Roger Pirates crew members present became more and more alarmed as they listened!
The World Government was going to launch a full-scale siege on the Rocks Pirates at God Valley!
The Five Elders, Marines, CP, Impel Down, and other forces would all be mobilized!
They intended to crush the Rocks Pirates at God Valley in one fell swoop!
"Roger, I know your character. You're also very unhappy with Rocks' brutality."
"So you must come. If Rocks succeeds, the whole world will be worse off than in the hands of the Celestial Dragons!"
After finishing, Garp added, hoping to move Roger.
"I understand, Garp."
Without giving Garp a definitive answer, Roger hung up the phone cleanly and then looked at his crew.
"You all heard it, right?"
"Mmh..." Many crew members nodded, obviously shocked by the news.
Even Rayleigh and Gaban had faces full of shock.
The World Government had made up its mind this time; God Valley would be the burial place of the Rocks Pirates!
"Captain, what do you plan to do?" Rayleigh was the first to ask.
"God Valley, we must go!"
"Although the Celestial Dragons aren't anything good."
"But as Garp said, if Rocks' goal is achieved, the world might be worse off than in the hands of the Celestial Dragons!"
Roger said with certainty.
"However, Rono is my friend!"
"I don't care if Rocks dies or not, but they want to use Rono's life as a sacrifice? I absolutely won't agree!"
After Roger finished speaking, the expressions of the crew members present also changed noticeably!
Everyone knew Roger's temperament very well. If he said this, he had definitely made a decision.
No one could change the decision he made.
"So, it's decided then."
"Yeah, looks like another dangerous journey!"
"This time we're really entering the tiger's den."
Rayleigh, Gaban, Bullet, and others understood the Captain's decision.
Sure enough, the next moment.
"Gaban, adjust the course to Hachinosu! Let's go find the Rocks Pirates!"
Roger ordered, and the Oro Jackson immediately turned!
...
About a week passed.
The banquet on Hachinosu had ended, and everyone had enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
However, after the banquet, the next target should also be confirmed.
At this time, Rocks was convening the seven major executives to discuss the Rocks Pirates' next move—
God Valley in six months!
The Celestial Dragons' sacrificial ritual!
All adult Celestial Dragons would be present then!
"Re... Reporting to Captain Rocks, Vice Captain Rono!"
"The Roger Pirates have suddenly appeared nearby!"
Just then, a pirate hurriedly came to report.
