The Great Route, the first half.

In the early morning, the sea is drizzling, and the sea is full of fog and blurred vision, as if you are in the clouds.

"Finally caught up."

On a ship with a grass-green cockscomb head pirate flag, Rose, who had just come from his small boat, took the towel handed by Bartow, wiped his wet forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Good work, Ross senpai."

Barto handed over another glass of water and said with a smile: "It's not easy to get here from the capital of seven waters in one day and one night. ”

"After all, the task is urgent." Rose raised his head and drank the water, wiping the corners of his mouth, "Fortunately, the journey went smoothly and there was no storm, how about it, did you track down the location of the warship of the G-7 branch?" ”

"Well, we've been in touch on the dark web."

Barto nodded, pointed ahead, and said, "The speed of my ship is faster than that of the warship, as long as you continue to move at full speed in this direction, you can see the warship for two or three hours at most." ”

"That's good."

Rose breathed a sigh of relief, and after handing the water cup to the little brothers around Bato, his expression became serious: "Hey, Bato, you know the importance of this mission, right?" ”

"Ah, I see, Ross Senpai!"

Bato nodded hurriedly, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to rescue Sanji-sama, the navy wants to use him to threaten Lord Xiano, there is no door at all!" ”

"It's not just Sanji." Rose shook his head, "According to the captain's meaning, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates, especially the captain Straw Hat Kid Luffy, must also be rescued as much as possible." ”

"Huh?"

Barto scratched the back of his head, he couldn't understand why he had to spend extra effort to save that Luffy imp, but since it was an order from Lord Charno, he didn't ask anything in the end and nodded.

…………

Minutes and seconds passed.

The rain grew heavier and heavier, and after about three hours, the outline of a warship finally appeared in the field of vision ahead.

"There's a G-7 branch mark on the side of the ship, and that's it."

Rose put down the monoculars in his hand, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Tell the notice, speed up and get closer, and everyone is ready for battle!" ”

"Understood, Ross Senpai!"

Bartow nodded without hesitation, turned around and gave orders to his subordinates.

Speaking of which, although this is his ship, as a fanatical fan of Xano, he has great respect for every crew member of the headquarters of the Wind Pirates, and he is naturally willing to obey Rose, who is a high-level cadre.

In the next moment, the speed of the Bartow Club increased sharply, and it approached the warship in the sea fog in the distance at the maximum speed.

At the same time, the warships of the G-7 branch finally discovered the pirate ship closely following behind them.

"Lieutenant General Hobbit!"

On the watchtower, a second lieutenant in charge of reconnaissance around him hurriedly leaned over and reported loudly to the deck below:

"At three o'clock, a pirate ship appeared, judging by the flag, it should be the Bato Club of the New World!"

"Bartow's Club?"

At the bow of the ship, the short man known as Lieutenant General Hobbit raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "It's really worthy of the Four Emperors, can you send people to follow you from such a long distance......

There was no panic on his face, and he didn't feel the need to panic at all.

After all, he was the deputy base chief of the G-7 branch and one of only two lieutenant generals in the entire G-7 branch.

And all the naval branches with the prefix of G are all located on the great route, and the vice admiral level is the same as the naval headquarters, and the strength and vision are far superior to those branch colleagues in the four seas, naturally they will not be at a loss because they meet the pirates under the command of the Four Emperors.

"The Bartow Club, if I'm not mistaken, their captain Bartolomeo is just a guy with a bounty of more than 200 million Baileys."

Hobbit stroked his mustache and sneered, "Only sending this level of miscellaneous fish, just want to save people, it's too much to underestimate me, pass the order, all soldiers are ready to fight, be sure to defeat this group of pirates!" ”

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

There was a roar of rage from the warship, and soon, these well-trained elite navies lined up in battle formation and took the lead in launching an artillery attack on the approaching pirate ship.

Rumble!

Dozens of pitch-black shells burst out at the same time, exploding around the ships of the Bartow Club, setting off a terrifying wave.

Not to be outdone, the Bartow club also began to fire back with shells.

"The navy's firepower is fiercer than ours, don't waste more time on artillery battles, continue to accelerate and start a broadside battle!"

Rose stared at the warship in the distance, and ordered in a deep voice: "The vice admiral leader who will be opposite later, I will deal with it, Bato, you take your people, quickly clean up the rest of the navy, go directly to the cabin, and rescue the people first!" ”

"Yes, Ross Senpai!"

Barto nodded without hesitation, it may be a little tricky for him to deal with a vice admiral by himself, but as a veteran swordsman, Rose is not in suspense at all.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

In the continuous artillery fire, the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, and although the firepower of the naval warships was strong, due to the Bato barrier fruit, those undeviated shells were all bounced off before they hit, and did not cause any damage to the hull.

1,000 meters, 500 meters, 200 meters......

"It's now!"

When the navy warship was already in front of him, Rose's eyes flashed, and he suddenly drew his sword, jumped from the bow of the ship, and turned into an afterimage and swept towards the deck of the warship.

Sou!

In the blink of an eye, Ross had already appeared on the warship.

The sword fell in his hand, and the powerful sword set off a scream, and the aftermath of the sword qi instantly swept away the naval soldiers in a radius of more than ten meters around him, and Ross's cold gaze also fell on the face of the short and stout vice admiral after a slight sweep.

"The captain of the headquarters of the Storm Pirates, the sword hero of the water capital of 560 million Bailey, Rose."

Looking at the tall figure that appeared in front of him, Hobbit was slightly stunned, his expression suddenly became much more solemn, he pulled out the blade from his waist, and said in a low tone:

"It seems that I miscalculated, but I didn't expect that in addition to that Bato ghost, Xia Nuo also sent a combat power of your level to the first half......"

Two years ago, Rose's bounty was as high as 400 million, and now it has increased by more than 100 million Baileys.

"Since you know me, it's easy to do."

Rose squinted slightly, stared at the hobbit's eyes and snorted coldly: "If you don't want to die, you can cooperate a little bit, and hand over the people of the Straw Hat Pirates yourself, and save me from doing it myself." ”
