Chapter 12: Battle with Roger's Group

Boom boom...

The shells fell and exploded on the left side of the hull. The spreading shock wave caused the hull of the Oro Jackson to tilt sideways, and the sea water splashed down and splashed on the deck.

"It's really a headache..."

Roger wiped the sea water off his face, and the red captain's coat behind him was thrown wildly by the impact of the cannon's air wave.

Although he said "It's a headache", he had a relaxed smile on his face.

"Rayleigh, why don't we fight Garp to the death here."

His eyes suddenly turned, and he turned to look at Rayleigh, showing his neat and white teeth and smiled:

"The navy abandoned the baggage, we can't get rid of them at all."

At this time, Rayleigh, who still had light golden hair and charming temperament, twitched his mouth and said helplessly:

"It's too early for Garp to catch up with us."

"You bastard just want to fight."

Roger, who was exposed, scratched his head and laughed:

"Isn't this a help? Garp has been chasing us for three days and three nights, making us sleep poorly."

He pointed at Shanks and Buggy, who looked tired. The two little guys were holding a pocket dagger each, staring nervously at the warships in the distance behind them, with dark circles under their eyes as if they were hit by a hammer.

"If this continues, we old guys will be fine, but they will not be happy."

Hearing Roger's words, Rayleigh frowned and considered for a while.

Indeed, with their strength, not to mention three days and three nights, even a battle of ten days and ten nights would not be a big problem.

But Shanks and Buggy are still young after all. It is not easy for them to stay awake for three days and three nights and remain vigilant until now.

"I'm fine!! Captain Roger!! I can still hold on! No problem at all!!"

Shanks suddenly took a step forward fiercely and bit his tongue to let the pain dispel the overwhelming sleepiness.

"Are you right, Buggy!?"

He turned his head to look at Buggy who was shaky next to him.

Buggy forced himself to hold up his heavy eyelids despite his sleepiness and fatigue, and rolled his eyes unhappily.

"Yes, yes..."

You said so, can I still say no?

The buzzing sound of the explosion suddenly sounded above the head, and more black shells fell rapidly in the sky filled with thick smoke.

A dense mass of them seemed to cover the sky and the sun, and enveloped the Oro Jackson like a violent storm.

"Roger!! You can't run away!!"

Garp's roar came from the warship.

"You are so noisy, Garp!" Roger roared impatiently.

Rayleigh beside him pressed the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and his figure jumped up flexibly.

In a flash, Rayleigh's figure appeared in the air.

Clang!

The sharp sword suddenly came out of the sheath, the gorgeous sword light was as bright as the Milky Way, and a majestic strong wind burst out, interweaving with each other to form a winding sword energy tornado, roaring up.

The hurricane-like sword energy tornado instantly wrapped up the falling artillery shells and fire nets.

Accompanied by countless sharp cutting marks on the surface of countless artillery shells, hundreds of artillery shells were detonated together!

Boom boom! !

Large balls of dazzling fire exploded in the gloomy sky, and the orange-red fireballs illuminated the sky red, like a grand fireworks display.

Just as Garp was very familiar with the Roger Pirates, the Roger Pirates who had fought with the Navy countless times also had a set of effective countermeasures for the Navy's large-scale firepower coverage.

As long as they could protect the hull of the pirate ship, they would have space to escape even if they were surrounded by a large navy force.

"It's endless..."

Rayleigh landed steadily on the ground, and just as he said this, he suddenly frowned.

Kacha——

The mast of the Oro Jackson suddenly made a slight explosion, and the sail that was originally protruding forward suddenly sank backward!

The shape of the golden curly beard skull logo on the sail was distorted.

Rayleigh's face changed.

"This is..."

Huhuhuhu...

The wind suddenly rose.

The fierce wind blew up the sea surface and raised huge waves, and the howling continued.

The speed of the Oro Jackson dropped significantly under the influence of this strong wind!

"What happened!?"

"The wind direction changed!?"

"How is this possible!"

"Spencer! What's the reason!?"

All the people in the Roger Pirates looked at their navigator Spencer.

Spencer, who was holding the sail rope tightly, had a high ponytail and a nervous look on his handsome face:

"This strong wind came strangely! It has nothing to do with climate change!!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's pupils shrank into pins.

If the strong wind was not caused by climate change... then there must be human factors.

Could it be...

Rayleigh seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly sighed, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, prepare for battle."

Everyone was startled at first, and then they immediately reacted. They didn't say much, but moved quickly to their positions, picked up their weapons, and looked alert.

Their eyes gradually exuded a strong fighting spirit.

Rayleigh looked at Roger and said with a wry smile:

"You... now we can't run away even if we want to..."

Roger was stunned, and then he opened his observation Haki perception, his eyes gradually burst into an excited light.

Rayleigh narrowed his eyes, turned around and looked at the distant sea in front of the bow of the pirate ship.

The strong wind rolled up the waves, like a dragon tumbling.

In the surging and roaring waves, a huge warship was rushing towards them at full speed with an unstoppable momentum, breaking through the waves like a bamboo shoot.

The dark and murderous word "justice" was dazzling on the wide white sail.

"Garp's reinforcements... have arrived."

Rayleigh murmured.

As he finished speaking, two tall figures slowly appeared on the bow of the warship, one after the other.

The flawless white cloaks fluttered wildly behind them, and in Rayleigh's observation Haki perception, they exuded a cold and deep breath, staring at the Oro Jackson with a defiant look.

"That brat... seems to be Garp's son?"

Rayleigh frowned and tightened his grip on the sword.

Swish...

The waves roared.

As Rayleigh's eyes narrowed slightly, Dorag, with long black hair, grinned at them from a distance.

He took a step forward, raised his palm, and a dark green wind group visible to the naked eye quickly gathered in his palm.

Then...

He threw it out heavily!!

The dark green wind group was thrown out by Dorag with one hand, and then it expanded rapidly in the air.

Extending, stretching, spreading, rotating...The high-speed rotating wind group constantly derived amazing changes on the moving trajectory...

In less than a few seconds, it evolved into a huge sea tornado that connected the sky and the earth!!

"Hurricane Funeral!"
