Listening to Emil's introduction, Urouge's worldview was severely impacted, and at the same time, his perception of the World expanded. He hadn't expected himself to be so ignorant before.
After hearing Emil talk about things on the Sea and about the Limitless Pirates, Urouge's heart became filled with fervor. The World was so magnificent and vast, and this small Sky Island could no longer contain his heart.
He must go to the Sea, to see this boundless World, and in the future, he must also become a strong man like the island master beside him!
This Sky Island was not too big, nor too small.
With the full search efforts of the Limitless Pirates and the Sky Island residents, it took a full seven days to search every part of the entire Sky Island.
Finally, the Devil Fruit Nox wanted was found.
"Captain, take a look, is it this Devil Fruit?"
Emil excitedly handed a Devil Fruit to Nox.
"That's right, it's this Devil Fruit!"
"Emil, you did a good job. After we go back, go to Athena and get a bonus of 300 million Berries as a reward for you."
Nox said with satisfaction after comparing the Devil Fruit with the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.
The Paramecia-type Karma Fruit, a very powerful Devil Fruit, which made his Devil Fruit collection even richer.
"Thank you, Captain!"
Emil said excitedly when he heard about the bonus.
Although he had a salary, it wasn't enough for him to spend. Getting an extra 300 million Berries was enough for him for a long time.
Edd War Sea:
The catastrophic storm continued, becoming even more terrifying.
And the great battle between the Flying Pirates and the Roger Pirates also continued.
Initially, the Flying Pirates had an advantage in numbers, pressing the Roger Pirates.
Later, the Roger Pirates fought fiercely, determined to take a few opponents down with them even if they died.
As a result, casualties began to appear after half a day of fighting.
The Roger Pirates had fewer casualties, while the Flying Pirates had more, with casualties occurring at a ratio of almost three to one.
For every one Roger Pirates crew member who died, three Flying Pirates died. Ultimately, the overall combat strength of the Roger Pirates crew was higher, and when they fought desperately to take opponents down with them, few of those surrounding the Roger Pirates could escape.
After more than sixty Flying Pirates died, Golden Lion noticed the situation of the battle below.
Although he really wanted to defeat the Roger Pirates, he was unwilling to suffer huge casualties as a result, as the people he brought were the most elite crew members of the Flying Pirates.
Once too many of these elites were lost, the overall strength of the Flying Pirates would significantly decrease.
Especially the three Executive Officers he valued most, he absolutely did not want to see any of them die.
These three Executive Officers were Executive Officers he had painstakingly trained, his most capable helpers for conquering the World in the future. They had not fully grown yet, and there was a possibility of casualties.
Golden Lion now no longer had the initial anger; it was replaced by rationality.
So he directly ordered that there was no need to fight to the death with the Roger Pirates. Once severely injured, they could withdraw from the battle and return to the ship to rest and recuperate, as saving their lives was paramount.
Because of this, after three days of intense fighting, almost all crew members below the top-tier fighters stopped fighting.
Only the three top fighters of the Roger Pirates and the four top fighters of the Flying Pirates continued to battle in the air.
After another five days, even Reinhardt had withdrawn from the battle. He had held off Rayleigh for so long, which was his limit. Continuing to fight would endanger his life.
Subsequently, Harold and Aslan also stopped their siege of Gaban and withdrew from the battle. After all, they had besieged Gaban for so long without defeating him, which only showed that his strength was even greater than they had previously expected.
After Reinhardt withdrew from the battle, Rayleigh was free. If they continued to fight Gaban at that point, and Rayleigh joined the battle, they would definitely be defeated.
Rather than that, it was better to end the battle early to avoid unnecessary danger.
By the fifth day, the only ones who could continue fighting were Golden Lion and Roger.
"Gyahahahahaha, Roger, hand over the secret of the Ancient Weapon, and I can let you go!"
Although the battle between the Pirate Crew below had stopped, Golden Lion still had no intention of stopping. As long as he could defeat Roger, he could lead the Flying Pirates to continue the battle and completely crush the Roger Pirates!
"Hahahahaha, Shiki, I've said before, I don't have any secret of the Ancient Weapon!"
"And I don't need you to let me go. I, Roger, won't lose to you, Shiki!"
Roger laughed heartily as he swung his sword Ace at Golden Lion. The terrifying Haoshoku Haki carried a sense of domineering freedom. He was a person whose free will would not be changed by anything!
Five days and five nights of battle were nothing to them; their stamina was still sufficient.
However, there was not much difference in their strength. Another five days and five nights passed, and Golden Lion still couldn't defeat Roger, even with the advantage of the sky.
Because Roger was currently within the catastrophic storm he had created, with the power of wind and rain boosting him, his stamina consumption was greatly reduced, and he received a certain increase in attack and movement.
"Damn Roger!"
By now, Golden Lion was sure that he could not defeat Roger!
Even if he could gain a slight advantage over Roger by the end of the battle, his stamina would be almost depleted, and facing the remaining two top-tier fighters of the Roger Pirates, he couldn't defeat them in a short time!
Once the battle reached a stalemate, giving Roger a chance to recover, it would become a cyclical battle, endless.
"Roger, you won't be so lucky next time!"
Realizing that the situation was unfavorable, Golden Lion stopped his battle with Roger. After leaving a remark, he led his subordinates out of the area covered by the storm.
Although the Flying Pirates didn't lose this operation, not getting the secret of the Ancient Weapon meant that the Flying Pirates could be considered to have failed.
Now Golden Lion was thinking that after the Flying Pirates and his own strength became stronger, they would attack the Roger Pirates again. At that time, they would definitely not fail again!
He felt that his Devil Fruit ability and Haki still had room for improvement. Once his strength advanced further, coupled with his subordinates fully growing, he would definitely be able to defeat the Roger Pirates and get the secret of the Ancient Weapon!
"Cough cough!!!"
Watching the Flying Pirates leave, Roger returned to the Oro Jackson, but as soon as he stood on the deck, Roger suddenly knelt down, covering his mouth with his hand, but still unable to stop the blood gushing out.
In fact, Roger was already at the end of his rope. If Golden Lion had continued the battle, the winner would have definitely been Golden Lion!
"Doctor Crocus, quickly come and see what's wrong with the Captain!"
Seeing Roger spitting blood, Buggy shouted in panic.
"Don't worry, it's just normal bleeding. Take the medicine and rest, and you'll be fine!"
Doctor Crocus said calmly after examining Roger's condition.
"What do you mean it's nothing? The Captain is spitting blood!"
Seeing Doctor Crocus say that, Buggy almost thought the ship doctor was a fake!
"Stupid Buggy, Doctor Crocus said the Captain is fine, so he's definitely fine!"
Shanks slapped Buggy's head and said.
"You two stop fooling around and let the Captain rest properly."
Rayleigh and Gaban helped Roger back to the cabin to rest, telling the two little guys Buggy and Shanks to be quiet.
"They're out, they're out, the Flying Pirates are out. It looks like the Flying Pirates didn't suffer much loss. Could it be that the Flying Pirates won?"
"That shouldn't be the case. If the Flying Pirates had won, then the storm created by Roger should have stopped by now. Why is the storm still so fierce, with no sign of stopping?"
"How about you go and ask Shiki of the Flying Pirates?"
"Get lost, if you want to die, why don't you go yourself? Why do you want me to go?"
"..."
The many spies who had been waiting in the Edd War Sea for ten days and nights saw the Flying Pirates come out but did not get a result.
And Shiki didn't give any explanation. After coming out, he took his subordinates who were originally outside and flew away directly, leaving only a retreating figure for the spies present.
"That guy Shiki, did he defeat the Roger Pirates or not?"
Charlotte Linlin rarely left the Totto Land and came to the Edd War Sea specifically to deal with the Roger Pirates.
But she didn't expect that Golden Lion flew away as soon as he came out, not even giving her a chance to ask.
If she called now, it would show that she was afraid of the Roger Pirates, so she simply waited there.
Although Roger was critically ill, he wasn't stupid. Even though the Flying Pirates had left, he didn't immediately stop the storm, but let it continue. Roger was safely recovering from his injuries within the storm.
The persistent Charlotte Linlin and the many spies continued to wait in the Edd War Sea. It wasn't until the day after the Flying Pirates left that the storm stopped.
After the storm stopped, they saw the Roger Pirates' Oro Jackson, and also saw through telescopes that the three top fighters of the Roger Pirates were all alive.
Therefore, there was no doubt that the great battle between the Flying Pirates and the Roger Pirates ended in a draw. The Flying Pirates failed to defeat the Roger Pirates, but they also did not lose!
"Damn Shiki, he couldn't even handle the Roger Pirates!"
Seeing that the three top fighters of the Roger Pirates had suffered no losses, even though Charlotte Linlin hated Roger, she did not choose to make a move at this time. Instead, she swallowed her anger and left the Edd War Sea furiously.
A woman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years. The fact that she couldn't get revenge now didn't mean she couldn't get revenge in the future!
