Chapter 287 Pirate Alliance! Fishman Island Crisis!
This is a fortress of considerable size.
The main structure is in the shape of a tower, with two huge vertical arches like wings at the back.
More than six years ago, this fortress was called the G-1 base of the Navy Headquarters.
It is one of the most important bases of the entire navy, and its status is almost on par with Marin.
However, after the Beasts Pirates occupied the New World and the World Government’s forces completely withdrew from this sea area, this fortress has been occupied by the Beasts Pirates.
In the beginning, this base that was too close to the Red Earth Continent was directly abandoned.
After all, if the World Government directly attacked from the Red Earth Continent, then this base would be reduced to ruins in an instant, and there would be no reaction time at all.
However, after the operation to encircle and suppress pirates began, the existence of this base became somewhat important.
After all, the sea area near the Red Earth Continent is still very vast. With a huge base as support, the encirclement and suppression operation can be carried out more efficiently.
So Ian sent someone here.
This base also officially replaced the G-5 base where Jin was stationed, and became the front line of the Beasts Pirates facing the World Government.
Ace put away his ability when he was about to land and landed lightly on the coast.
”Haha, this is the first time I have participated in a battle as a pirate of the Beasts Pirates. I briefly introduced myself to those guys.”
”And then?”
Sanji, who is already sixteen years old this year, has dead fish eyes.
”And of course, I blasted them into the bottom of the sea.”
Ace said this as a matter of course.
“Then what’s the point of your self-introduction, you bastard?”
Sanji said angrily, “If you have that time, you might as well come back earlier!”
”Humph.”
The green algae-headed man who was sitting quietly wiping his beloved sword raised his head, “You are just naive and can’t wait to go to Fishman Island, right?”
The boy who is the same age as Sanji is now also very strong.
”What nonsense are you talking about, green algae-headed man!”
Sanji said viciously, “Of course, we can’t let Miss Kuina and Miss Runti wait for a long time!”
Although they are getting older and bigger, the two are still tit-for-tat as before.
”As for Fishman Island, I am indeed looking forward to it.”
Kuina is 18 years old this year, one year older than Ace.
The girl with short blue hair has grown into a graceful lady. She is only dressed in a refreshing T-shirt and shorts, but the long sword hanging on her waist brings her an extreme sense of coolness.
”I often hear the fishmen in Wano Country talk about what Fishman Island looks like. It is said to be very beautiful.”
”Boring.”
Standing aside with her arms folded, the other graceful girl just snorted, “Compared to boring things like scenery, it is certainly more interesting to kill those idiots who don’t know what they are doing?”
Runti is the same age as Ace. The 17-year-old girl has ushered in the best years of her life. Even wearing a mask can hardly hide her beauty. She is completely on par with Kuina.
“That’s true.”
Guina’s eyes suddenly became sharp, “Ian really didn’t let us come out to play.”
“Let’s go, Uncle Kuzan is still waiting for us.”
Page One, who was squatting in a daze, stood up, twisted his neck slightly and said lightly.
He is only fifteen years old this year, and is the youngest in the group.
“Let’s go.”
Ace said with a smile.
Several young people went straight into the base building.
All the pirates along the way greeted them respectfully when they saw them.
People outside may not know the existence of these young people, but everyone in the Beast Pirates knows that these young people are candidates for the big cadres.
Even now that they have been sent out by Lord Ian, they have already announced that they will officially take office.
The young people walked up the spiral staircase and finally met the highest commander of the base in the strange wooden attic at the top of the tower-shaped building.
”Hey, Uncle Kuzan.”
Ace raised his hand and smiled at the man lying on theThe guy sleeping with an eye mask on the boss chair greeted.
”Ah, Ace?”
Kuzan lazily pushed up his eye mask, sat up slowly, yawned and said lazily, “Didn’t Jinbei say that a group of pirates escaped into the New World? Haven’t you dealt with it yet?”
”Is there a possibility, Uncle Kuzan,”
Ace rolled his eyes, “I have dealt with that group of pirates and I am back.”
This Uncle Kuzan is good in every way, and he is even a disciple taught by the old man, but he is too lazy most of the time.
”Really? Hahahaha.”
Kuzan laughed awkwardly.
”Can you really help Brother Ian guard this base?”
Runti looked Kuzan up and down.
She didn’t believe this guy.
After all, this guy used to be a navy, and he always looked lazy.
When Kuzan heard the girl say this, his eyes lit up immediately, “Then why don’t you quickly suggest it to Ian? I just don’t want to stay here anymore!”
There is nothing good about this base at all.
Not to mention that he was already tired of staying here when he was a navy, just to say that this base is now the front line of the Beasts Pirates, who knows when the World Government will attack.
Runti rolled his eyes beautifully.
”So, Uncle Kuzan, when are we going to leave?”
Sanji asked, “Brother Ian asked you to support us.”
”Alas.”
Kuzan sighed.
Ian is really brave. These little ghosts officially represented the Beasts Pirates for the first time, and they directly handed this task to them.
However.
Kuzan took a closer look at the young people in front of him.
Indeed, each of them had a strong aura like a monster. The opponent was just a group of pirates. Although there were many of them, they should not be able to stop them.
It was hard to imagine where Ian found so many extraordinary young people. ”I will contact Jinbei right away and ask him to pick us up.”
Kuzan spoke.
”Great!”
Runti’s eyes flashed with burning flames, as if she wanted to burn something to ashes.
“It’s really exciting,”
Zoro’s eyes were burning as well, “How many pirates will come this time?”
”Hey! Kuina!”
He looked at his childhood sweetheart beside him and grinned, “Let’s see who killed more pirates this time?”
”Okay.”
Kuina nodded happily, “It just so happens that we haven’t fought for a long time!”
”Miss Kuina!”
Sanji came over instantly and said with a grin, “Can I join in too!”
”Tsk.”
Zoro was immediately shocked. Sanji immediately pushed his head over and said viciously, “Huh? You green algae head, do you dare to have any opinions?”
”You bastard, you have curled eyebrows, if you want to die, then I will help you commit seppuku!”
Zoro smiled with a fake smile.
“Haha! Are you kidding me? With your knife, you can’t even cut my skin, right?”
“Then why don’t you try it!”
The two men’s foreheads bumped together, as if they were butting heads.
”Okay, you two,”
Ace was a little helpless, grabbing one of them by the shoulder with one hand and forcibly separating them, “If you want to compete, then compete properly later.”
These two guys have been at odds since they were young, and have been fighting almost since they were young.
However, Zoro’s strength has improved very quickly, from being beaten unilaterally by Sanji to now having the strength to fight.
Compared to him, Kuina is…
”Hmph!”
The curly-browed and green-haired men looked at each other and snorted at the same time, deciding to show off their skills later.
”So energetic.”
Kuzan, who had just finished talking to Jinbei and hung up the phone, sighed.
Looking at these young people reminded him of when he just joined the navy.
It’s just that he hasn’t had such a passionate moment for many years.
Time flies so fast. It’s been six years since he joined the Beasts Pirates.
When this news was first leaked, it shocked the sea.
”The Sun Pirates will come to pick us up soon. Get ready, young people,”
Kuzan said with a smile, “The next one should be the first real battle in your life.Fight.”
All the young people unconsciously showed their expectant smiles at this time.
Kuzan understood very well. He had a similar mood when he first participated in the operation as a navy.
However.
It’s really looking for trouble.
Kuzan sighed.
It’s already very unpleasant to be stationed here, and now some unknown guys are causing trouble for him.
The reason why these young people appear here is very simple. Fishman Island will be in trouble next.
Jinbei and the underwater patrol force he formed have largely solved the problem of the pirates from Paradise pouring into the New World.
It can be said that they have made an indelible and huge contribution to the current stable situation in the New World.
But Yes, their existence also makes the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line hate them.
The pirates who have the courage to go out to sea and successfully break into the Grand Line are more or less capable.
Among them, a large number will definitely give up going to the New World because of the threat of the Beasts Pirates.
But there must be some who want to go to the New World even under the pressure of the Beasts Pirates, and want to compete with Ian for the position of Pirate King.
And these pirates are now blocked from the New World.
Anger and resentment are accumulating, which eventually led to this incident.
A large number of pirates united together, they were ready to break through Fishman Island and completely destroy the pass of the Beasts Pirates that prevented the pirates from entering the New World.
According to It is said that at this time, the pirates have formed an extremely large-scale joint fleet of pirates in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Now they are still happy that they have concealed it well and are preparing to launch a surprise attack on Fishman Island.
Little do they know that the Beasts Pirates know exactly how many bottles of wine they drank last night.
However, according to Ian, the appearance of this pirate fleet is not just a spontaneous action of the pirates.
Of course, the World Government also played an important role in it.
In the past, the World Government would not stop the pirates from going to the New World, and they even directly used the New World as a breeding ground for pirates.
Now they hope that pirates will enter the New World and make the Beasts Pirates, which they have created with great difficulty, The stable situation was completely destroyed.
Kuzan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. After this battle, the elite pirates who emerged in the past two years should be swept away.
Really, compared with the Beasts Pirates, the speed of the navy to clear the pirates is really too lame. From this level, the Beasts Pirates are more qualified to represent justice.
Thinking of his deeds in the navy, Kuzan couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed.
It didn’t take long for everyone to wait. Soon the Sun Pirates appeared from the sea.
One after another, huge sea beasts appeared from the port bay. Except for the two leading sea beasts dragging a huge ellipsoidal cabin with chains, all the sea beasts were loaded with heavy weapons.
”Long time no see! Uncle Jinbei!”
Ace waved his hand enthusiastically and greeted Jinbei who came out of the cabin.
“Let’s go,”
Jinbei laughed, “Let’s go to Fishman Island! It’s up to you guys next!”
They were all old acquaintances, so there was no need to greet each other.
The group entered the cabin and headed straight down to Fishman Island.
While the young people were marveling at the beauty of the underwater world by the porthole, Jinbei was chatting with Kuzan.
”Lord Ian is really asking too much,”
Jinbei sighed, “We can handle those pirates by our own strength.”
Just kidding, even if more pirates join forces, is it possible to defeat the regular army of fishmen in the sea?
Not to mention that the team is led by a master like Jinbei.
Unless there are two admiral-level strongmen hidden in that naval fleet, Jinbei really can’t think of a reason to lose.
Why do they need reinforcements? They are a group of young people sent directly from the headquarters of Wano Country.
”The children at that time have grown up now.”
Kuzan said, “If we don’t let them take the time to train now, I’m afraid there will be no time later.”
The final war may not be too far away.
The Beasts Pirates and the World Government will eventually fight the final battle.
Jinbei nodded.
He was still worried about letting those young peopleWhere can we show off our skills? We can’t let those pirates land on the Fishman Island, right? But if we fight in the water, the young people will be useless.
Lord Ian, you really know how to give me a difficult problem.
Almost at the same time.
On the sea near the Sabaody Archipelago.
Pirate ships gathered here, and the towering masts alone formed a forest.
And the ships gathered together even formed a dark cloud that seemed to cover the sky and the earth.
”After the coating is completed, everyone dive! Raid Fishman Island!”
Someone in the fleet shouted loudly, “We must destroy Fishman Island in one go!”
Not far away, on the coast of the Sabaody Archipelago.
“Really,”
The white-haired old man who was fishing pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and exclaimed with a smile, “Just from the scale, it is more exaggerated than the Golden Lion’s fleet back then, right?”
After all, this is the power of dozens of pirate groups gathered together.
Next, it depends on how Ian responds.
