Looking at Peach Rabbit and Sean in front of them.

Thatch's eyes were cloudy.

And at this moment, several pirates in the distance rushed over.

"Captain, I found that three warships of the Navy are heading here, and the people of the fifth team are blocking it, but I'm afraid they won't be able to stop it for long, because..."

"Both the red dog and the yellow ape are there, and on those three warships, the figures of the red dog and the yellow ape were found at the same time."

"The Navy is pouring out at this point, we must leave immediately!"

That's right, this time it's the Whitebeard Pirates, and the fourth and fifth teams are acting together.

Eventually, Bista boarded the ship of the 4th team and came to the volcanic island, while the ship of the 5th fleet was on guard in the open sea.

Although the navy has never interfered in previous kendo events, who can say for sure this kind of thing?

Therefore, the necessary precautions are still needed.

It's just that the admiral will come out of the nest, which is something Thatch didn't expect...

If he continued to stay here, not only would he not be able to save Bista, but he and all the members of the Fourth and Fifth Squad would have to be trapped here.

At this moment, Thatch has also calmed down a little, and now is not the time to be rash.

Returning to the New World, telling Daddy what happened here, and then trying to figure out a way, is the most rational decision.

Moreover, the navy raided the kendo event, which would also arouse the hostility of swordsmen all over the world.

"You'd better take care of Bista, or else... Let's go! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

With a final remark, Thatch waved his hand and rushed to the shore with a few pirates.

"Sean, is it really okay to let them go like this?"

"If the headquarters were to pursue it..."

Seeing Thatch and the others walking away, Peach Rabbit was a little worried.

"It's okay, Sister Gion, besides, I'm not going to let them go!"

"Ahh

"Let's go, let's go back to the warship, we have to put an end to this matter!"

Sean smiled and turned to leave, and Peach Rabbit hurriedly followed.

However, Hawkeye, who saw this scene, was a little unhappy.

"Sean, you're leaving?"

"Hawkeye Mihawk, don't worry, I'll be back in two hours at most, you won't even be able to wait for this little time, right?"

"Two hours, okay, I'll wait for you!"

I heard Sean say that he didn't really want to leave, and that he would be back in two hours.

Hawkeye seems to have thought of something, too, but the Whitebeard Pirates have something to do with themselves.

He nodded, and sat down again.

------

More than ten minutes later.

On Sean's cruiser.

"Lieutenant General, the target is already offshore, do you want to pursue it?"

"Follow behind them, keep a distance of one nautical mile, and let Usopp command all the main guns to be calibrated and wait for my orders."

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

The mariner nodded, and immediately went to carry it out.

And just then, Sean's phone beeped.

Blu Blu Blu...

"I'm Sean!"

"Lieutenant General, I'm Bruno, I'm ready!"

"Good, ten minutes countdown, and action!"

"Understood!"

Hanging up the phone, Sean looked out of the bridge porthole and looked at the pirate ship in the distance.

On the side, Peach Rabbit became more and more incomprehensible.

"Sean, what the hell are you going to do?"

"Isn't this obvious, wait until it's farther away before you do it."

"Is this necessary?"

Peach Rabbit had a look of doubt on her face.

"Of course!"

"You see, originally the navy wanted to do it directly on the volcanic island, although doing so is likely to cause all the swordsmen to be hostile to the navy, but it is also worth it for the sake of grand strategy."

"But now, none of this has happened, because Sister Gion you have taken Bista directly, and you can bring him back to the headquarters in the name of it, and no one can say anything, let alone cause all the swordsmen in the world to be hostile to the navy, right?"

"In that case, then why do you have to go back to square one again for an extra Thatch?"

"Four steel battleships, most of the high-level combat power of the headquarters, where can Thatch escape?"

"What we're going to do is simple, get him out of the volcanic island and start on the sea, wouldn't that be fine?"

"You see, our navy still respects the kendo event very much, even if we want to arrest Thatch, it will only be after he leaves, right?"

Seemingly...

Quite reasonable?

Peach Rabbit nodded, although she always felt that something was wrong!

------

Ten minutes later.

The ship of the fourth team of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Captain, that warship of the Navy is still following us, and we can't get rid of it!"

"Damn Peach Rabbit and Sean, are you determined to go to war with our Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Captain, what are we going to do now?"

"Immediately inflate the membrane of the ship, let's dive and evacuate!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Hearing the order, the pirate nodded and immediately complied.

"Quick, inflate the membrane of the ship, and get ready for diving..."

Whoa...

It's just a pity that before the words were finished, the sound of a series of shells skimming the sky came, and they fell one by one.

The distance of about one nautical mile, perhaps for the naval artillery technology of this era, not to mention the accuracy, is not even reachable.

But for the rifled cannons on the Sean warship, as well as conical shells, it is simply trivial.

It even maintains a decent hit rate.

Although only the two triple turrets in the front were fired, three of the six shells were smashed straight towards the ship.

The remaining three are not too far off, enough to form a near-miss.

But this ship is not an ordinary pirate, but a whole team known as the strongest pirate group, intercepting cannonballs or something, not to mention Thatch, even those under him, that's fine!

Immediately, a large number of pirates, each using their own means, began to intercept.

Slash with a knife, kick with a kick, hit with a gun, or some abilities, intercept with strange abilities.

Soon, all six shells were stopped.

For the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates, cannonballs, aren't they children's stuff?

We're adults!!

However, this time it was not as simple as they thought.

All six shells were intercepted, but the next moment, when these shells exploded, they still overturned everyone.

This power, this shockwave...

It's even ten times more powerful than the standard artillery of the Navy.

The shock wave caused by the explosion alone directly tore a lot of big and small openings on the pirate ship, because...

They look down on artillery, and the location they choose to intercept is too close!

Of course, the people in the pirate world are outstanding, and with the people of their whitebeard pirates, they are all much stronger.

Although because of carelessness, everyone on the deck, including Thatch, was overturned to the ground.

But in fact, there were only a few minor injuries at most, and soon all of them stood up.

Realizing that something was wrong, Thatch hurriedly asked his men to continue to inflate the ship's membrane, but in the next second...

The bad news is coming!

"Captain, the ship's membrane is damaged!"

"What? Is there still a way to fix it? ”

"No, the damage is too big, and we don't have a professional coater on board!"

"Damn..."

Whoa...

Before Thatch had time to think about it.

Six more 280mm shells are coming!

Thatch hurriedly intercepted it himself, and the twin swords continued to swing slashes at the level of swordsman, intercepting the cannonball hundreds of meters away.

But even if he went all out, during this period of time, he would swing four sword slashes, and that would already be the limit.

The remaining two continued to attack the ship, only to be intercepted by other pirates at the end.

But just like the last time, the terrifying explosion and shock wave once again swept through most of the pirate ships.

Even the mainmast has a crack!

But is that the end of it?

Nature is impossible.

Under Sean's orders, Usopp commanded two triple guns in the front, blasting the shells through in waves.

Although Thatch was able to intercept four rounds from a long distance each time, the rest would still be intercepted at a relatively close distance, and the explosions at close range and the terrifying shock waves had already turned the entire ship's deck and island into tatters.

And when the seventh wave struck, the mainmast, which was already full of cracks, finally could not continue to withstand it...

Broken!!

In the era of sailboats, what does a broken mainmast represent?

It means that the ship is almost out of power!

The situation was already bad, and now that it has lost momentum, it is even worse.

However, the blow from Sean's side continued.

By the time of the eleventh wave, Thatch, who had already used more than 40 sword slashes in succession, was also a little unable to hold on.

This time he only intercepted three.

In the twelfth wave, he intercepted only two.

Even many pirates have begun to show a desperate look on their faces.

But at this moment, an energy gate appeared out of thin air on the deck, and a figure of more than two meters walked out of it.

He was covered in a hood, and even wore a hood on his head, making him completely unrecognizable.

"Who?"

"Don't be nervous, Captain Thatch, I'm from the Revolutionary Army, I can save you!"

"People from the Revolutionary Army?"

"Yes, as you can see, my Devil Fruit ability can travel through space, and it's easy to send you away, isn't it?"

"Why should the people of the Revolutionary Army help us?"

Thatch's eyes lit up.

After all, I had just seen the way this man appeared.

The fruits of the space class can indeed send them away in this situation.

But there is no intersection between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, so why should people help themselves?

Thatch was still a little wary.

"Isn't it true that our revolutionary army and yours have the same interests in this matter of the navy and the world government?"

"If you hesitate any longer, then I'll have to leave on my own, after all, it's too dangerous here!"

Whoa...

Just then, six shells came again.

Thatch had to stop the conversation and turn to intercept.

He was already very tired, and this time he even only swung a sword slash, a full five cannonballs, and was intercepted by other pirates at a very close distance.

Once again, a terrifying shockwave struck, and even the cloaked man was knocked to the ground.

Under the hood, the corners of someone's mouth twitched fiercely.

Not far away, after Thatch swung out that sword slash, he even knelt down on one knee.

He knew very well that he had reached his limit, and he might not be able to stop a single one of them in the next wave.

"This friend of the revolutionary army, I'm sorry for you!"

"Okay, please hurry, I can't maintain the space passage for too long!"

"Understood!"

Thatch nodded, not suspicious of anything.

The next moment, a door appeared that appeared to be made of energy, and the Cloaked Man was the first to enter, followed by Thatch and the other pirates.

Soon more than forty people ran in.

But just as the rest of the pirates were about to enter, the door...

It's closed!

At the same time, the sound of cannonballs slashing through the sky sounded again.

Without Thatch, and without the strongest of the four teams, only two of the six shells were successfully stopped.

The remaining four.

It smashed down all over the pirate ship, and the pirate ship, which was already in tatters and overwhelmed, was blown into several pieces in an instant.

------

At the same time.

On an island in the New World.

Thatch looked at the disappearing door and immediately became anxious.

"What's going on, why is the passage closed?"

"Captain Thatch, as I said before, I can't last too long, this is already the limit!"

Hearing this, Thatch's face was sad.

There were more than 200 people in the fourth team, but only 46 people were taken out.

Although the main combat forces have basically escaped, most of the remaining ones are small minions, miscellaneous workers, or trainee crew members.

But the loss was also too great, and nearly 200 people were confessed there.

Damn the Navy!!

But soon, Thatch suddenly remembered something.

"Friend of the Revolutionary Army, our members of the Fifth Brigade are still under siege by the Navy on another ship, can you please save them as well?"

"I'm sorry, but before I came to save you, that ship was completely destroyed by Akainu, and no one survived!"

"How... Will it be like this!! ”

"Captain Thatch, please mourn, now that the mission has been completed, I'll leave first!"

After the cloaked man finished speaking, he opened a new spatial door, stepped directly into it and disappeared.

"Captain, what are we going to do next?"

"Let's go back to Daddy, this time, we have to make the Navy pay!!"

"Yes, Captain!"

------

The volcanic island is more than 20 nautical miles away.

Not far from the naval fleet, a large number of wreckage and the corpses of pirates are floating on the sea at this moment, which is extremely tragic.

"This group of damn pirates stopped us for ten minutes, ordered the fleet to set off immediately, and pursued the fourth team of the Whitebeard Pirates, and must not let Thatch go!"

"Yes, General!!"
