A full twenty-three pirate ships sailed out of the mist one after another, led by the third team of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the captain Diamond Joz stood at the bow of the ship, staring at the direction of Xinglie and the others.

As the captain of the first team of the Whitebeard Pirates, the immortal bird Marco has followed Whitebeard with Joz for more than ten or twenty years, and the relationship is as close as siblings, and now that his brother is dead, Joz is almost on the verge of an outbreak, if it weren't for the Devil Fruit ability, who can't touch the seawater, it is estimated that Diamond Joz would have been desperate to swim over and fight to the death with the torturers.

The protagonist of the original plot, the Straw Hat Pirates, is also in the support of the pirates this time, and the Golden Merry is in the second echelon, with the eyesight of several people in the torture spirit, you can clearly see several protagonists on the ship, with red shoulders on the upper body, Luffy wearing straw shoes and a straw hat is fighting with Usopp for a piece of meat, and Zoro is sitting? Sleeping with his knives on the lookout, the chef Sanji was attentively serving the two beautiful women Nami and Nicole Robin, and the ship's doctor's lovely reindeer Chopper saw so many strangers and hid behind the mast, but only the head was hidden, and the body was still exposed.

It's really rare to see a team like this, no, maybe it should be described as wonderful, the navy and the pirates are fighting fiercely here, and the Straw Hat Pirates are unprepared for the war as a reinforcement.

"Damn, now the number of pirate forces is at least five times or more than ours, how can this battle be fought!"

Zhu Ziao's face was bitter, the immortal bird Marco died, and several captain-level powerhouses of the Whitebeard Pirates were killed or injured, although there were still a lot of powerful pirates left, but this battle was not impossible to fight, but now the pirate side did not send reinforcements, and only the tactics of the sea of people could completely suppress the naval side, not to mention that there were many strong people in the reinforcements, such as Diamond Joz, such as the Straw Hat Pirates.

In the face of such a disparity in strength, Xing Lie had nothing to do, although he swallowed the fruits of the operation, he was invincible with two fists and four hands after all.

"Lieutenant General Karp, the disparity between the enemy and our forces is too great, and I propose that we retreat to that desert island, hold on there, and wait for our reinforcements to arrive. ”

Xing Lie pointed to the island that had fought against Peng's squad earlier, the desert island was not large, and it should be much better to hold on as the last fortress than on a ship.

Karp showed a deep expression, and before he could speak, he thought that the rear admiral next to him would say: "Rear Admiral Xinglie's vision is inevitably too short-sighted, our navy is no match for so many pirates, but if we stick to the ship, at least in terms of mobility, it will be much stronger, once we all land on the island, won't we become a live target for the pirates?"

The rear admiral's concerns are not entirely unreasonable, there are at least forty or fifty pirate ships at present, and if all the guns are concentrated together to vent their firepower, their destructive power must be difficult for anyone to parry, but it is different on a ship, at least it is still possible to dodge half of the shells through superb piloting skills.

Xing Lie glanced at the major general who spoke, and said without any emotion: "There are many strong people on our navy side who have inherited the ability of the Devil Fruit, and in the face of the strength of the pirate side, our warships will be easily sunk, once the only owner of the Devil Fruit ability falls into the sea, then this battle really doesn't need to be fought again." ”

Another point of torture is not explained, with Ni Na's marksmanship, at least she can detonate most of the cannonballs in the air before the pirates' shells land on the desert island.

It's just that Xing Lie has his plan, so some relevant details don't need to be too clear.

There is another very important factor in the decision to retreat, Xing Lie is now also the owner of the Devil Fruit ability, and he must not fall into the water either, otherwise his whole body will stiffen and lose all combat effectiveness.

No matter how difficult the battle is, the torture can be fearless, but for some force majeure factors, it can be avoided.

After a little consideration, Karp nodded: "Just listen to the torture, gather all the elite forces of the navy, and retreat to the desert island." ”

As the supreme commander in this battle, Karp's words were an absolute order, and immediately all the elite of the navy fought and retreated, heading towards the desert island.

The retreat of thousands of elite naval forces attracted countless pirates to chase and kill, and Xing Lie led his team and some colonels and rear admiral-level powerhouses to snipe and kill the pirates who came after them, especially the pirate force under the leadership of Chloe.

Long before the Torture Squad joined the Navy, they had formed an alliance with Chloe, and among all the chasing forces, the pirates led by Chloe were not the strongest, but they were definitely the most active among them.

If there is a head-on battle, the elite of the navy will not be afraid of the strength led by Chloe, but in the process of retreating, the morale of the navy will be greatly damaged, and the overall combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least forty percent.

The desert island is not far away, and almost by the time reinforcements such as Diamond Joz and the Straw Hat Pirates join the battlefield, most of the elite navy has successfully landed on the island, using this small island as the last line of defense, waiting for naval reinforcements to arrive.

This defensive battle was extremely difficult, on the one hand, the navy was not only facing a large number of pirates hand-to-hand combat, but also the long-range bombardment of the pirate ship's artillery, fortunately Ni Na and several other naval powerhouses with accurate marksmanship or long-range attack methods to block it, otherwise these artillery would definitely bring more trouble.

In hand-to-hand combat, the torture side can't take advantage of it, although there is Iron Fist Karp, a super physical skill, but the number of pirates is too large, and there are many strong among them, the threat brought by the Straw Hat Pirates alone is big enough.

Because Cap and Luffy are grandfathers and grandsons, Xinglie was worried that the two would be released from the water, so he took the initiative to choose Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, as his opponent.

Previously, Marco died at the hands of Xinglie, because Joz also regarded Xinglie as a target to kill, and at the same time, in the face of two strong enemies, Rao is Xinglie has the ability to have the fruit of surgery, and it is also difficult to deal with it.

Luffy the rubber man has long hands and feet, his fighting style is very flexible, but his strength is also surprisingly large, it stands to reason that the extremely sharp metal claws of Xinglie should be feasible for Luffy the rubber man, but the trouble lies in the other opponent Joz.

The diamond nickname is not for nothing, his Devil Fruit ability is to diamond the body, and he has extremely strong defense, even if he is cut by the metal claws of the torture spirit, he can only leave a shallow scar on his body.

Only under the weakening of the surgical space's ability to resist blows to the body, coupled with the use of high-frequency scalpels, can the diamond joz be truly harmed, but the damage is limited.

Of course, it is impossible for Xing Lie's very puppet to watch the excitement, the demonized three-eyed Zoro vs. the Straw Hat Pirates' Zoro and Usopp, the puppet and the original body fight, one knife flow against three knife streams, this battle is very interesting, but this duel of the peak swordsman was destroyed by Usopp, who was constantly secretly attacking with a slingshot.

The projectiles that Usopp uses with his slingshot have all kinds of wonderful negative buffs, the more normal ones are explosions, fog, and scatter bombs, and some are weird enough to cause itching, grade 12 pain, and so on.

Fortunately, Usopp treats the demonized Three-Eyed Zoro as a puppet, because it is a puppet, and is basically immune to all kinds of wonderful negative effects.

Entangled by the original Zoro, it is not easy for the demonized Three-Eyed Zoro to kill Usopp, not to mention that the guy is very thief, just like a loach.

Peng Jun and Artemos are fighting against the Straw Hat Pirates' ship doctor Chopper, Nami, and Robin, and they will suffer a loss in two or three, these two puppets are basically only beaten, but these two puppets are like small buildings, and they are also very resistant to beating, although they can't take advantage, but it is estimated that they will not lose after a long battle.

Xinglie and his puppets contracted almost the entire Straw Hat Pirates, and only Sanji was picked up by Chen Xiu as an opponent.

Ni Na concentrates on using guns to deal with long-range artillery fire, and supports the surrounding friendly forces from time to time, Zhu Ziao mainly deals with a large number of pirates who rushed ashore, and dealing with groups of enemies is what he is best at, as for Ziruo, it is an indispensable auxiliary in this battle, it is not an exaggeration to say that without Ziruo's strong assistance, these people will not be able to support for three days, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive for a day and a half.

The navy fought more and less, but because the torture squad almost dragged the strongest individual force on the pirate side, it was able to barely stalemate, but if there was no special opportunity, it would still be difficult to hold on until the arrival of naval reinforcements.

When the battle lasted for a whole day, there was only one and a half days left before the arrival of naval reinforcements, Xing Lie had no bottom in his heart, such a long battle, both sides had losses, and they were holding on, on the surface, the two sides could maintain an equal match, but in fact, the combat power of the pirate side was much stronger, if Xing Lie and a few people could have enough potions to support, maybe the problem was not big, but now almost all the potions have been used.

Xinglie dragged his tired body and swept out with one claw, but Diamond Joz once again stood in front of Luffy, and as a result, Luffy and Joz both stepped back and went out, but they were not injured as usual.

Xing Lie's eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a group of people in the depths of the desert island, one by one wearing navy white uniforms, standing neatly, these navies did not participate in the battle, or rather, because their strength was too weak, even if they joined the battle, they could only exist as cannon fodder.

That's right, this is the special team directly under the criminal martyrs.

Xing Lie's heart suddenly moved, it seems that it is not impossible to regard the special team as a foreign army in this battle, because of the tense battle, his thoughts have entered a misunderstanding, and he has always wanted to accumulate a bounty to promote the rank, in fact, why can't he put the bounty on the special team and put the promotion of the rank second?

Thinking of this, Xing Lie hurriedly took advantage of this gap in the battle to take out the cadet manual to check the number of bounties he currently had, but it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he was stunned when he saw it.
