Three warships and a pirate ship, meeting on rough seas, it seems that there is not much left to choose except for a battle to break out.
Usopp stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the Navy warship not far away with the undulating waves...
Now that he has confirmed the identity of the other party, you must know that as early as Chambord, Usopp had already met the general Fujitora, although there was no battle between them...
But Usopp remembers the breath of the vine tiger, and vice versa, the vine tiger can also remember the momentum of Usopp, which is one of the functions of seeing and hearing the domineering...
"Captain, what should I do, are you on?"
Tagley asked as he stood beside Usopp and asked in a loud voice.
"No..."
Usopp spat out a few words lightly, and it didn't seem to mean to fight.
Usopp's move made the other crew members a little confused, if you don't fight now, it doesn't seem to be a question of whether you want to or not, what you should think about now is how to kill the opponent and get out of here.
When I left the island where Adam was the treasure tree, the tide was so great that many of the boats that had been there had to be abandoned in reluctance.
Fortunately, although the Usopp Pirates have a large personnel base, they don't need several pirate ships to load...
The aftermath of Adam's fall is still raging on this sea, and most people have no ability to deal with it, if Usopp hadn't rushed to Fish-Man Island, he could have waited for the tide to pass on the island, and then left safely...
But in that case, it may not be the best time, if Blackbeard and Luffy destroy Fish-Man Island, and kill the sacred tree Eve by the way, then Usopp really cried...
And so many pirate ships are not something that the Usopp Pirates must not give up!
Although when he left, Dolly was the most reluctant, and the new pirate ship he exchanged for a Devil Fruit was not yet hot...
However, the captain's order is the captain's order, and the crew can only give up no matter how reluctant they are, and... Maybe I'll be able to come back here in the future, and I'll just pick it up when the time comes.
After going to sea, everyone in the Usopp Pirates did not expect that they would be able to meet the navy in the vast sea...
The area of the sea is very wide, and if you want to encounter it on the vast sea, in addition to deliberately gathering it, it can only be attributed to luck.
This is also the biggest reason why so many pirates who are not very strong can still be active on the sea, that is, it is difficult for the navy to find pirates in the vast sea.
As long as you get rid of the pursuit of the navy on the sea, you are basically safe, and the hell knows where you will go.
Whether it is in the first half of the Great Voyage Paradise or the second half of the New World, except for a small number of pirates who have their own fixed territory, most of the pirates can actually be said to be home to the four seas.
The main reason is that the strength is not enough, once you have a fixed territory stationed, then it also means that there is no need to worry about the encirclement and suppression of the navy, which is a manifestation of confidence in your own strength.
Among them is the Seven Martial Seas of the King that can be legally plundered, although they are also pirates, but they are unlikely to be attacked by the navy, so the Seven Martial Seas of the King generally have their own fixed stationing locations.
The other people are powerful pirates, who are generally famous in the sea, and their strength is also very strong! These people have a slightly smaller territory.
The most powerful of them is the existence of the Four Emperors...
Not only does the sphere of influence cover a large area, but even the influence of each of the Four Emperors in the New World is higher than that of the navy.
If it weren't for the new Marshal Akainu Sakasky who moved the Navy Headquarters into the New World, this influence would be much lower.
If the navy's influence was sufficient, there would not be so many islands to protect themselves with the help of the banner of the Four Emperors, because after all, it would cost a lot of things! And the protection of the navy is often free of charge.
"Don't you go..."
In fact, in Tagley's mind, the battle had actually broken out! The reason why he asked Usopp was to ask Usopp for permission before attacking.
The Usopp Pirates Because of Usopp, many people have the skill of Moon Step in the Navy Six, which sounds ridiculous but this is the truth!
Now there is only one pirate ship left in the Usopp Pirates, and if the damage is too severe, then the majority of the crew will be wiped out in this nameless corner far from land.
Therefore, the best way is to go to the opponent's ship and fight, so that the aftermath of the battle will not affect your own ship.
And the six-style moon step is a good choice, although the sea is rough now, but it is not caused by the weather, but because of the huge torso of the treasure tree Adam fell, stirring up the waves.
So if you use the moon step, you can easily get to the warship of the navy...
"This group of navies does not seem to have the intention of attacking ... At such a distance..."
Usopp still looked in the direction of the naval warship, and the meaning in his words was that within this distance, if a battle broke out, in fact, the shelling should have started a long time ago!
Don't say anything because it's too bumpy, although the strength of each individual in the navy is not as good as that of the pirates, but in terms of this kind of professional skills, it can be said that they are completely defeated by the pirates, after all, they have all received systematic training.
Although the choppy environment will greatly reduce the probability of hitting, it does not mean that you can't hit at all...
So at this distance, since the navy did not attack, although it looks weird, it can indeed be seen that the navy does not have the feeling of wanting to attack.
After Usopp finished speaking, Tagley also discovered this, the distance between the warship and the pirate ship was too close!
It's not that the navy doesn't completely engage pirates in broadside battles, but in general, the first thing that greets them in broadside battles is a rumbling artillery bombardment!
Tagley found that he was a little flustered because of the other party's identity...
As for why Tagley knew, it was because Usopp told him that although Tagley was there when he was in Chambord, Tagley was not very skilled at that time, so naturally he didn't remember the breath of the vine tiger.
After Usopp discovered the existence of the vine tiger for the first time, he told the crew without reservation, after all, he was going to fight later, and Usopp didn't want the crew to be unprepared and frightened by the general's might.
This is also the reason why the Usopp Pirates were a little riotous for a while before, after all, the deterrent power of the general is still very powerful!
This is not to say that the Usopp Pirates are afraid of the admiral, but the sudden news is a little shocking, and this 'surprise' mood did not last long, and the crew automatically prepared for the battle... This is the standard pattern.
At the beginning, Usopp also thought that a battle would inevitably break out, and even the general's original purpose was to rush at him, so that the battle would be even more inevitable.
But now the Navy's actions are somewhat incomprehensible to Usopp, which not only surprises Tagley, but even Usopp, who first discovered this, is a little confused...
Of course, if he didn't break out into a fight, Usopp would still be willing...
In normal times, Usopp would have tried to provoke a few times, but now that he had more important things to do, when he needed to go on a hurry, this kind of thing could be avoided.
And the benefit of fighting the navy for Usopp is also minimal, of course, if you count the cards that may burst, maybe it is also a good benefit, after all, it is the navy of Mifune...
But compared to the matter of the sacred tree Eve, it is a small matter, and Usopp will definitely choose the latter...
…………
On the warship on the other side ...
"What to do... Mr. Smile. ”
As the pirate ship and the warship got closer and closer, the tension on the warship became more and more intense, but so far Fujitora still did not say anything.
As a huge organization, if Fuji Tiger does not give orders, the sailors will basically not act on their own, otherwise they will be trained soldiers, but scattered soldiers.
"The most important purpose of our trip is to go to the place where Adam fell on the treasure tree..."
Although Fuji Tiger smiled and did not make his words completely clear, he also hinted that in fact, this battle could not break out.
Of course, Fuji Tiger didn't say everything completely, after all, the other party is a pirate, and if he doesn't attack, it doesn't mean that the other party won't attack, and once the opponent has already started to attack, it is impossible for them to stay out of the matter.
Indeed, the biggest purpose of Fuji Tiger Yixiao coming here is to investigate the fall of Adam Baoshu!
Besides, it doesn't necessarily take a move to know whether you are strong or weak, and the perception of seeing and hearing is enough to explain a lot of things.
In Fujitora's feelings, although he was confident that he would face Usopp, the sailors...
Fujitora has a gentle and upright personality, and if he was on the mainland, he wouldn't mind attacking the Usopp Pirates, after all, at that time, the sailors could stay away from the battle site and intercept them on the periphery.
But the current position is on the sea, but there is no room to retreat...
Fuji Tiger had the confidence to fight, but he didn't have the confidence to protect his subordinates, and after many trade-offs, he still made a decision...
Warships of the Navy ...
Pirate's Pirate Ship...
met on the sea, and then passed by ...
Until one party completely disappears into the rough sea, as if neither side sees each other...
The odds of this kind of thing happening are so low that they can't believe it if it happens...
The fleets of the two hostile forces staggered by, and they were safe and sound...
But what Fuji Tiger didn't know was that what he had just let go of was the culprit of the fall of the treasure tree Adam who he wanted to investigate this time...
