When a naval admiral travels, he naturally uses a top-tier warship, and this time the trip is at public expense.
Borsalino directly picked out a brand new Buster call warship, and with a hundred elite officers, he sailed away from the headquarters dock in a mighty manner. Like a shuttle, he cut through the blue waves, quickly entered the Calm Belt, and sped towards the four seas at the fastest speed.
Since there were not many people accompanying them, and the Buster Call warship was large enough to carry enough sailing supplies, there was almost no need to land on any island for secondary supply.
This also allowed the warship Borsalino to sail from the Grand Line to the Upside-Down Mountain in one breath after entering the Calm Belt.
As the warship passed through the surging upcurrent and climbed the Upside-Down Mountain, a vast sea that seemed to have no boundaries at all came into Borsalino's sight.
"The North Sea?"
"It's been a while since I've been back here."
on deck.
Borsalino put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up, and looked at the vast North Sea in front of him with a dazed look.
The North Blue in front of him is his hometown.
It has been many years since I last returned to this sea area.
This also made him feel a sense of homesickness for the first time in his life.
As Borsalino was reminiscing about his hometown and recalling his past years in the North Sea, his brows seemed to frown inadvertently, and his eyes, which were glowing red under his sunglasses, flashed a hint of displeasure.
"There's really no peace for even a moment!"
"I just got back."
"Can't you pirates just be more quiet?"
Just as Borsalino was muttering to himself, a major came rushing over and reported to him.
"Report, Admiral Kizaru."
"We spotted a pirate ship about eight kilometers southwest, and confirmed it's the Hellock Pirates."
"Do we need to sink it?"
The Captain spoke quickly, but his words were clear and concise.
Borsalino was upset by the sudden appearance of pirates and was a little unhappy. He even planned to take action himself and bury the pirate group not far away at the entrance to the Grand Line.
But immediately, a red light flashed in his eyes, as if he sensed something, or saw some interesting future. The slight displeasure between his brows suddenly disappeared, and instead revealed a hint of surprise and joy.
"Wait a moment."
"We don't need to do anything."
"The pirates of the North Sea will be dealt with by the North Sea Marine."
Borsalino said meaningfully.
The other side.
The pirates on the Hellock Pirates' ship also noticed through telescopes that there was a warship stationed at the entrance of Upside-Down Mountain.
"Captain Hellock, it's a warship!"
"Besides, this is not an ordinary warship."
"It should be the Marine from the Grand Line."
A pirate said to Captain Hellock:
"Should we turn around?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the pirates on the deck looked at Hellock at the same time.
"Turn around?"
"Need I say more about the situation in the North Sea?"
"The North Sea is no longer the pirates' North Sea. Ever since that man arrived in this sea area, the North Sea has completely become the Marine's North Sea. If we continue to stay here, we will only die. The only way to survive is to head to the Grand Line."
Hellock slapped the boat's pole with his palm, and his voice revealed strong resentment and fear.
Upon hearing this, the pirates present fell silent.
Yes!
As pirates of the North Sea, how could they not know the situation of the sea beneath their feet?
Ever since Rosen arrived in the North Sea and wiped out Donquixote and Germa 66, the North Sea has undergone tremendous changes.
past.
The Marine, which was suffocated by the pirates, began to raise its head and used swords and guns to frantically strangle all the pirates within the territory of the North Sea.
If it were just the Marine, the pirate situation wouldn't be so bad.
There is only one reason why local pirates like Hellock have to travel far to the North Sea and enter the Grand Line in order to survive.
The Marine of the North Sea branch is hunting down pirates.
Douglas Bullet is hunting down pirates with his army of Terminators who are not afraid of swords, guns or artillery fire.
The evil army of Germa 66, the fearless clone army, is hunting down the pirates.
Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and his Donquixote pirates are also hunting down the pirates.
The owner of the newly emerged largest entertainment city in the North Sea, Golden City, Gild Tesoro, is still hunting pirates.
It seemed as if overnight, all the forces standing at the top of the North Sea were connected in a line to launch a comprehensive crackdown on the pirates in this sea area.
Almost overnight, the Great Pirate Era experienced a complete regression.
At least, in this area of the North Sea, the tide of the great pirate era is receding.
Pirates no longer have the arrogance that has been growing since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era.
With each passing day, the number of pirates decreases dramatically.
It's not that fewer people are going out to sea to become pirates, but that the pirates active in the North Sea have been killed in pieces, and the speed at which pirates are born can no longer keep up with the speed at which they are eliminated.
That's why.
The pirate group led by Hellock had no choice but to choose to travel the Grand Line and leave the North Sea.
Because if I continue to stay in the North Sea, I will really die.
"Avoid that warship."
"Since we're from the Grand Line, it's not necessarily the warship's mission to annihilate us. As long as those Marine ships don't fire at us, then we shouldn't clash with them."
"The most urgent thing is to leave the North Sea first. Otherwise, if we stay here for too long, I'm worried we'll run into those monsters from Branch 1."
As soon as Hellock mentioned the 1st Branch, visible fear appeared on the faces of the pirates around him.
"Then charge ahead!"
The pirates on the deck looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and shouted.
Staying in the North Sea will lead to death.
Only by entering the Grand Line can there be a glimmer of hope.
As for the warship stationed at the entrance of Upside-Down Mountain, they could no longer care about it.
Driven by a strong will to survive, the Hellock Pirates directly charged towards the warship where Borsalino was.
"Admiral Kizaru."
"The Hellock Pirates are approaching us."
"Should we fire?"
Seeing the Hellock pirate group advancing step by step, a Vice Admiral on the warship couldn't help but ask.
"Let them pass."
Borsalino turned around and sat back on the beach chair on the warship deck, not even glancing at the Hellock Pirates.
"What?"
All the Marines were stunned.
"Marine bullets and shells also cost money to make."
"There's no need to fire bullets and shells at a bunch of dead people."
"That's it, then."
As soon as Borsalino finished speaking, the ship of the Hellock Pirates also sailed in front of the warship.
However,
A strange scene appeared. The Marine from the headquarters met the pirates from the North Sea. The two forces, which should have been at loggerheads, did not conflict at this moment.
Whether it is the Marine or the pirates, both sides are very restrained.
But just as the warship and the pirate ship passed by each other, the pirate captain Hellock and the other pirates looked at the entrance to the Upside-Down Mountain which was so close at hand, and could not help but reveal their ecstasy and excitement at escaping, when suddenly dozens of streaks of light flew from the distant sky, like shooting stars, cutting through the sky, crossing the ocean, and heading straight for the entrance to the Upside-Down Mountain.
"Captain of the 1st Branch, T Bone."
"By order of the Admiral."
"Please, all the pirates of the Hellock Pirates, die at the foot of Upside-Down Mountain."
As dozens of streams of light approached the Upside-Down Mountain, a fierce shout mixed with cold murderous intent resounded at the entrance of the Upside-Down Mountain.
"It's those monsters from Branch 1."
"The leader is still T Bone!"
On the pirate ship, Hellock turned his head and saw dozens of figures like meteors streaking across the sky, and like stars falling to the ground, rushing down from all directions.
sniff
As they approached the Hellock Pirates, dozens of figures flying in the sky drew out their swords one after another. Visible lightning bursts wrapped around the swords, and then their flying speed increased instantly, like lightning across the sky, crossing with the Hellock Pirates' ships.
Snap
The sound of silk tearing was heard.
The pirate ship that was about to pass through the entrance of Upside-Down Mountain and escape from the North Sea along the ocean current was like a birthday cake cut into pieces, broken into pieces, scattered on the sea, and swept away by the turbulent ocean current.
Phew
Not only that, the bodies of the many pirates who were originally standing on the deck were covered with hideous wounds, as if they had been struck by lightning. The wounds were charred and scabbed the moment they opened.
then.
Including Captain Hellock, all members of the huge Hellock Pirates were killed and fell into the sea.
