Chapter 230: Two Generals!
East of Sharp Island, on an island in the waters controlled by the Rhodes Pirates. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The island was once a naval branch, so Chloe took advantage of the terrain and remodeled the building foundations to turn it into a fortified fortress.
Outside the fortress, more than a dozen naval warships lined up in a line and held on to them.
"What are those guys doing? They haven't been seen since last night's raid. "The deputy commander of the fortress, Kaki, was very incomprehensible, originally this group of navy came here at night to catch them off guard, but the navy was afraid that they would not find out, and after coming here, they aimed at the sky and fired dozens of cannons, which attracted the attention of the fortress, which really shocked them at that time, no one could have imagined that such a large number of navy would come over without knowing it. What surprised them even more was that the navy quieted down again after firing dozens of guns at the sky like fireworks, and it was so quiet that it was still until now.
"They probably didn't even think about attacking us. Kaki's elder brother and the supreme commander of the fortress was speculating on the Navy's thoughts.
Chloe frowned lightly when he heard Kano's words: "So, the new navy...... What did Zefa do when he came to us?"
"He's coming for the captain. X was also urgently dispatched here from another part of the ocean, "As for what to do, we will only know when the captain comes." ā
"It's time for the captain to come back, right? I heard him say that he fought with Emperor Crocodile Boin before, and this time he also brought the previous Seven Martial Sea Klockdahl. Apu looked eager to try.
"Look! the captain is back!" shouted Yadrow, standing high above the fortress, pointing to the small boat that was slowly approaching in the rear left.
Everyone's eyes followed the direction Yadra was pointing, and when the ship got closer, they saw the figure on board, it was indeed Rhodes.
"Hah! I'm finally back!" Sanji grinned.
"Ah...... As soon as he came back, the morale of the army soared, and the captain ...... this guy "Let him and Sanji stand side by side."
Soon, the boat came to the pier of the fortress, and after boarding the fortress, Rhodes and his gang came to Chloe's side non-stop, and when he saw everyone, he couldn't help but laugh: "There are so many people here today!"
Since coming to Sharp Island, they have been arranged to go out, each with their own affairs, for example, the Kano and Kaki brothers are stationed here in this fortress to always watch out for Blackbeard, and Tyton and Avia patrol another sea area, they have hardly gathered together during this time, so I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to be able to gather together because of the naval attack.
After the pleasantries, Rhodes and Avia gave a few words and introduced Orbik, Red, and Annie.
After the introduction, Sanji was the first to give a warm welcome, and stated that he would take care of the meals of the two sisters Rhett and Anne in the future.
"Chloe, tell me about the situation. Rhodes sat down, looked at the naval fleet opposite, and said, "It's really cool to leave this kind of thing to your subordinates."
Chloe said in a clear manner: "The naval ships came in the early hours of yesterday morning, and they have not clashed with us until now, and the only time there was an attack was in the early hours of yesterday morning, and their ship guns were aimed at the sky and fired continuously. ā
"To the sky?"
"Yes. Chloe nodded, unhurried for Rhodes, "They're informing us in a high-profile manner that a new navy is coming." ā
"It's quite high-profile. Rhodes answered.
Chloe continued: "Although they have a large number of troops, it is very likely that they are not here to fight us. ā
"Aren't you fighting us?what are you doing then?," Rhodes chuckled.
"It's possible. Chloe said, his serious look not like he was joking, "And this tea, maybe only if you make it, they will drink it." ā
"What's the matter with him looking for me?" Rhodes understood what Chloe meant.
Chloe shook his head slightly, his gaze never taking his eyes off the naval fleet: "I don't know, but since you're back, if they really want to talk to us about something, then it's time to come...... They're coming. ā
Rhodes' pupils shrank, and his eyes focused on the naval fleet in front of him, and on the flagship of the naval fleet, a small boat was lowered, and there were two people standing on that small boat, and in addition to that, there were two sailors rowing desperately.
"Get ready to meet them. Rhodes ordered.
Chloe looked at Bellivi, who had been integrated into the Pirates, and immediately understood what Chloe meant, and left the fortress walls with a hum.
The two sides were not very far apart, so the boat did not make them wait long.
And just as the boat approached the fortress, everyone could see the two standing figures on the boat.
"Prepare to attack!" Chloe suddenly ordered.
The entire city wall was operational, the pirates set up their cannons and took out their muskets, the mid-level cadres were busy, and the high-ranking cadres such as Apu, Sanji, and Tyton were on either side of Rhodes and Chloe, sitting on the city wall.
"How is that possible?!Damn!Hurry up and aim the cannon at that small boat!" a mid-level cadre ordered his subordinates.
Some pirates were also a little scrambling at this time, but they still completed the preparations for the attack under the supervision of the middle-level cadres.
Rows of black muzzles appeared on the city walls, and without exception, the muzzles were aimed at the small boat.
The naval warships in the distance are also ready when they notice the abnormality, and if the pirates dare to attack, then they will also launch a fierce counterattack!
A big war is on the verge of breaking out.
"Ready, on--"
"Wait. Rhodes interrupted Chloe.
Chloe looked at Rhodes in bewilderment.
"Let them in. Rhodes said lightly, and Klockdahl next to him snorted with a smile.
"That's ...... We can't afford to take that risk. Chloe said earnestly.
"Just do as I say, with our strength, there is no need to fear them now. Rhodes waved his hand absently.
Chloe hesitated, but finally obeyed Rhodes' order and made the pirates lower their guns, a move that eased the grim situation of the scene with the smell of gunpowder.
Rhodes got up from his seat: "I didn't expect him to come back too, let's go, come with me to meet these big guys." ā
"It's all old acquaintances. Undaunted, Klockdahl followed Rhodes down the wall to greet the men.
As the boat approached, the two men who had been standing all the way alighted, and as soon as they got off the boat, they saw Rhodes come up with a man.
"Welcome, the previous generals, Zefa and the Youth!" said Rhodes.
The reason that made them vigilant was precisely because the person who came was not only the black-wristed Zefa who was not yet old, but also the topic of conversation who had finished the battle with Akainu not long ago, the young Kuzan, who was also the previous general!
