Chapter 384 Navy G5 Branch
Chapter 384 Navy G-5 Branch
"Damn it! This must be a trap set by Azure Star and the Navy!"
Because it all looks like a pre-planned cooperation, Xie Wen and his men, who have the ability to dive, could have escaped long ago if they wanted to get rid of them, so Katakuri and Jack subconsciously thought that this was a special arrangement by Xie Wen and the Navy to deal with their Four Emperors Pirates.
Even the news about Nico Robin was deliberately let them know.
Well...actually from a certain perspective, such speculation is not entirely wrong.
"Cracker! Stop them with me!"
Katakuri shouted with a gloomy face, and at the same time activated his fruit ability to create a glutinous rice wall to block the front.
Although his observation Haki foresaw that the Toot Tot Advance would dive and escape, because their ship could not catch up with the other party, even if he foresaw it, there was no way, and he could only choose to block the Navy's wave of attacks first.
And...
Even if it was a trap set by the Navy, what would it matter? They are members of the Four Emperors Pirates, how could they be afraid of the other party?
As the thick wall of sticky rice rose, the biscuits made by the crackers quickly covered it, adding a hard shell to it.
Although Katakuri could also directly use the armed color to bear it, he was about to start a fierce battle, so of course he had to save his energy as much as possible.
On the other side, Jack didn't think as much as he did. His life creed was just "reckless". After a roar, he quickly switched to the human-beast form, stood on the bow and used his own strength to shoot away all the flying shells.
The pirates on other ships also showed their magical powers. While resisting the bombardment, they also launched a counterattack against the navy of the G-5 branch.
Unlike before, either they couldn't hit the Toot Tot Advance or the attack was blocked by Xie Wen and others. Not every warship of the G-5 navy had masters who could block the attack of the Four Emperors Pirates, so many warships were sunk soon.
Of course, the ships on the Four Emperors Pirates were also damaged.
While the navy and the Four Emperors were fighting fiercely, Xie Wen and his team had already passed through the G-5 Navy's sea defense line from the bottom of the sea and went around the side of the island.
"You guys stay on the ship and be ready to pick us up at any time."
In the next battle, Xie Wen could not guarantee that he would be able to take care of everyone and the cats, so he decisively left the members with relatively average combat power, such as Shirahoshi, Meowerya, and Huiyuan Meow, on the Toto Sea Dragon, and arranged for the fastest Sharmi to stay just in case. In addition to the guardians made by Shirley and Meowerya, and Sanji Meow who shamelessly wanted to follow the two big sisters of Fey Cat, their safety was relatively guaranteed.
At the same time, as the second power source of the Toto Forward, and the member of the investigation team with the widest range of observation Haki, if Xie Wen and his team were in trouble, Sharmi could also bring the Toto to rescue and evacuate them.
In fact, Xie Wen originally wanted to leave Robin behind as well.
But...
"I am their target. If I don't show up, they might find the Toot."
Robin's reason made Xie Wen unable to refute, so he could only take her ashore.
Since Xie Wen and his men did not hide their whereabouts, not long after landing on the island, Vergo, with a dark face, rushed over with a team of navy.
"Ah, it's Vice Admiral Vergo. See you again."
Xie Wen took the initiative to greet him with a playful smile.
Due to Xie Wen's status as a Shichibukai, Vergo could only suppress his anger. He glanced at Nico Robin beside Xie Wen, and then asked: "Why did you lead them here?!"
"You can't blame me for this," Xie Wen shrugged his shoulders and answered half-truthfully: "Before I was chased by them, I pointed to the most stable record pointer here. I didn't know this was your territory before I came."
"Isn't your ship able to dive? How could you not get rid of them?!"
"Because I was planning to lead them to the island and then beat them away." Xie Wen answered as a matter of course: "I didn't plan to run away all the time, I just happened to run into you."
Then, he laughed jokingly: "Of course, if your navy is afraid, you can evacuate first, and come back after I finish fighting those guys. After all, the other party is the subordinates of the Four Emperors, and I can understand your concerns."
As soon as these words came out, Vergo didn't say anything, and the navy behind him couldn't stand it and started yelling.
"We are afraid of pirates?! What a joke!"
"That's right! You don't need to do anything at all. Our G-5 branch navy can wipe out all those pirates!"
"Shut up!"
Virgo stopped his men from shouting, and then looked at Xie Wen deeply.
Although Xie Wen's reasons seemed sufficient, and logically speaking, he was unlikely to have the permanent pointer of the G-5 branch, but Vergo always felt that he did it on purpose, and Xie Wen's slightly frivolous attitude seemed to indicate that he had no good feelings towards the G-5 branch, or himself.
Was it because of the malice I showed to Nico Robin before?
Vergo didn't think that his true identity would be known by Xie Wen, so he could only guess.
"It is our navy's responsibility to fight pirates, but I will not let my men sacrifice their lives for you."
In his heart, Vergo certainly did not want to take the bullet for Xie Wen and the others, but his identity as a navy forced him to do so, and he also wanted to seize Nico Robin in the chaos!
So, after a brief thought, Vergo came up with a solution.
"I will let my men take the bullet for you, but I will let them let the cadres of the Four Emperors Pirates in. Didn't you say you wanted to fight them? I will create this opportunity for you! In addition..."
He glanced at Nico Robin next to him and said, "I will stay too. Compared with the Four Emperors Pirates, Nico Robin is safer to stay with you, and the World Government seems to recognize this."
"It's up to you."
Xie Wen smiled and ignored his words.
Vergo narrowed his eyes under the sunglasses, and was very troubled by Xie Wen's stubborn attitude.
"Did you hear what I said? Hurry up and inform them!"
The navy, who were originally a little dissatisfied with Vergo's "admitting defeat", were already very moved after hearing him say "I don't want my men to die", so after he gave the order, these "soldiers" of the G-5 branch immediately took action, and glared at Xie Wen and Robin before leaving.
Xie Wen certainly didn't care about their hostility, but admired Vergo's performance very much. If it weren't for the glare from the navy before they left, he wouldn't even react to the second meaning of Vergo's behavior, but simply thought that he didn't want to take the bullet for himself.
Well, he is worthy of being a senior undercover, and he didn't forget to win people's hearts in this situation.
