Chapter 229: The Break Between Yellow Ape and Zefa
The order to retreat from the headquarters of the Navy was sensible.
Dispatched two admirals to hunt down Ian's Dragon Hunter Pirates, it can be seen that the world government and the navy attach great importance to Ian, originally they thought that the navy would make such a tough gesture to force the Four Emperors and prevent them from disturbing the situation, and this is indeed the case, assuming that there is no Ace, the Whitebeard Pirates will probably have so many concerns this time, and they will not be dispatched.
However, what they didn't expect was that at this point in time, Fire Fist Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates!
Whitebeard attaches great importance to Ace, the righteous son, and after Ace, who has just joined, pleads with him for the first time, Whitebeard plans to stand up for his son without hesitation.
Before the Yellow Ape and Zefa led the navy to Salamis Island, the Navy Headquarters also received the news of the Whitebeard Pirates' dispatch, and they were hesitating at that time, thinking about whether to let the Yellow Ape and Zefa withdraw.
However, due to Doflamingo's covert interference, the Hundred Beast Pirates also appeared, and collided with the Whitebeard Pirates, and the two sides confronted each other in the open sea.
After learning of this situation, the navy acquiesced to the Yellow Ape and Zefa to continue their operations, wanting to take advantage of the time difference and take this opportunity to capture the Dragon Hunter Pirates and Ian.
It's just that everyone underestimated the Dragon Hunter Pirates, and in the battle, Fuji Tiger dragged Zefa, and Ian also broke out with all his might, not only was he not completely crushed by the yellow ape, but he also injured the yellow ape unexpectedly with the help of the Hailou Stone bullet!
At this point, there are already two admirals who have been injured in Ian's hands, including the pheasant......
Injury does not mean defeat, in fact, Ian does not have the ability to completely win the navy now, but the battle is like this, a little accident often leads to different final results, Ian used his combat wisdom to gain a little upper hand in the battle with the yellow ape, so the balance of victory is naturally tilted towards their side.
Since they only saw the scene through a trainee reporter's report, the Navy Headquarters did not know the specific condition of the Yellow Ape's injury, although they also knew that even if a Navy Admiral was injured, it would be difficult to be killed, but the problem was that the Whitebeard Pirates had withdrawn from the confrontation with the Hundred Beast Pirates and were about to approach Salamis Island.
And Salamis Island is under the protection of Whitebeard, due to the Navy's capture of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, this island is now seriously damaged, in this case, no one dares to guarantee that the enraged Whitebeard will not attack the injured Yellow Ape, if Whitebeard is ruthless and directly kills a member of the Navy, the whole world will be shaken by this!
The consequences are too serious, and the plan to capture the dragon hunter pirates by the time difference is no longer feasible, Ian and they have held on and persevered, so the only one who takes a step back can only be the navy.
With the order to retreat from the naval headquarters, the navy on the island began to retreat to the port in an orderly manner, and the guards of the Duchy of Salamis, chasing them all the way, but they did not rationally chase them too hard.
The retreating naval soldiers naturally saw the members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates at the port, but although they gritted their teeth, they were helpless, and many people saw the battle between Ian and the Yellow Ape in mid-air before, which made the Navy soldiers also afraid of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, knowing that they were not ordinary pirates, and now under the retreat order, they did not dare to rashly attack the Dragon Hunter Pirates and cause more trouble.
Watching the Navy soldiers retreat, Ian also told the members of the Dragon Hunter Pirates not to attack them.
A big battle has been fought like this, the Dragon Hunter Pirates are actually quite injured, the naval soldiers have an absolute advantage in numbers, and although the Dragon Hunter Pirates are not weak in combat, but injuries are inevitable, the shield in Saltin's hand has been blown up by the navy's mortars, he at least blocked dozens of mortar shells for his partners in the Pirates, and he was panting and scarred all over his body.
And the same is true for Doruni, anyway, almost all the people who can fight in the entire pirate group are injured at this time, in this case, even if Ian doesn't explain, they won't take the initiative to provoke the navy.
It's just that the navy that retreated to the port still ran into trouble, and this trouble was Fire Fist Ace!
Ian had told Ace before that he was going to grab a warship and come back, and Ace naturally didn't say anything, but how could the navy let him easily take away the ship?
After Ace jumped on a warship, he had been fighting with the tide of naval soldiers, he had come to help Ian alone, so he didn't know that Whitebeard was coming, he had been guarding the warship, and felt that this was the hope for Ian and his pirates to escape, and they had to hold on.
This led Ace to see Ian and the Yellow Ape fighting, although he wanted to help Ian, but in the end, after seeing that Ian and the Yellow Ape were inseparable, he still chose to guard the ship.
And when the navy began to retreat, more naval soldiers came, and Ace didn't know what was going on, so he could only grit his teeth and fire with all his firepower, beating the navy hard.
The injured yellow ape was supported by Sentomaru and saw this scene when he retreated to the port.
"Fire Fist Ace ......" Yellow Ape naturally knew Ace's name, and seeing the naval soldiers being bombarded by him from the ship with a large ball of flames, Yellow Ape originally wanted to take action in person.
However, at this time, he saw the figure of the Whitebeard Pirate Fleet on the sea.
And in the sky, a big bird that was also burning with flames, dragging three flaming tail feathers, was flying towards here, and the yellow ape knew that it was the immortal bird Marko......
It was too late, and if it didn't sail again, the navy's warships would be blocked in the harbor by the Whitebeard Pirates, so the yellow ape thought about it for a while and gave the order to the navy soldiers to abandon the warship.
If he had retreated like this, the navy would have been able to withdraw from the port in time, but at this time, Zefa found that his two students were missing!
"Where's Ain and Binz!?" Zefa anxiously questioned his pirate guerrillas.
When he learned that Ain and Binz had been brought to the warship by the Fire Fist Ace and a woman dressed as a strange maid from the Dragon Hunter Pirates, Zefa suddenly stopped!
At that moment, he was about to lead the pirate guerrillas to rush to the warship where Ace was, trying to snatch his students back.
In the eyes of the yellow ape, this is simply a little unreasonable, not long after the establishment of the pirate guerrillas at this time, although Ain and Binz are Zefa's right and left hands, but in terms of military rank, they are at most two captains, for the sake of two captains, Zefa actually wants all the navy to be delayed here, surrounded by the Whitebeard Pirates!?
Not only that, but the faint pain from the wound reminded the yellow ape of the situation when he was injured by the Hailou stone bullet left by Zefa, and for a while there was a feeling of new hatred and old hatred surging together.
"Zefa-sensei, if you still want to continue to fight with Fire Fist Ace, I won't stop you!" The yellow ape said to Zefa with a cold face: "But I will evacuate first with the rest of the navy soldiers!" ”
"Polsalino! You ......" Zefa was so angry that he couldn't imagine that the yellow ape would jump out and say such a ruthless word at this time.
The contradiction between Zefa and the yellow ape has been going on for a long time, although the two of them still maintain basic harmony on the surface, but at this moment, it finally broke out!
"That's my student!" Zefa yelled at the yellow ape, "I brought them here, so I have to leave with them as well!" ”
"Then teacher, do you mean that for the sake of the two of them, all the naval soldiers should be left here and wiped out by the Whitebeard Pirates!?" Yellow Ape also quarreled with Zefa unceremoniously: "Your student is also a member of the navy, even if it falls into the hands of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, as long as a note is issued, the Dragon Hunter Pirates may not necessarily do anything to them, they are just two people, compared to letting so many naval soldiers be captured by the Whitebeard Pirates, which one is more humiliating!?" ”
"Is it just a matter of humiliation or not!?" Zefa roared: "Is the face of the navy more important than the lives of my students!?" ”
The quarrel between the two made the surrounding naval soldiers silent, and they didn't dare to say anything at all.
Zefa and the yellow ape stared at each other for a long time before Zefa finally spoke: "Polsalino, I have never liked you as a student, you are too elusive, since you want to leave, then leave!" ”
Zefa took a step back and said, "My people and I have always advanced and retreated together!" ”
Listening to his words, in the ears of the pirate guerrillas, he only felt an unprecedented mood stirring, and he even shouted in unison: "Advance and retreat together!" ”
When the yellow ape saw this scene, he was not infected at all, but shook his head in his heart, the concept of the yellow ape has always been different from Zefa, he will only choose to look at the problem as a bystander, and then put himself on the most advantageous side, so he can't understand Zefa's character and thoughts.
"In that case, then I wish you good luck!" Yellow Ape Road.
Because Ace snatched a warship, he finally took away the naval soldiers of six warships, while Zefa and the pirate guerrilla soldiers of his three warships stayed behind and continued to attack the warship that Ace was defending, wanting to attack it and find Ain and Binz.
Ace is a stupid man, when he brought Binz back, he didn't think too much about it at all, he just thought that Binz was too interesting, he wanted to catch Binz and bring it back to Whitebeard to show off, show off, if he could, he even wanted this ninja to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
It's like a son who is coquettish to his father, Ace himself is not aware of this, this is also human nature, at this moment Ace has completely accepted the fact that Whitebeard has become his father, and tries his best to help Whitebeard.
Maybe his idea of making Whitebeard the One Piece King in the future started from this moment......
