Chapter 661: The Pirates Unwilling to Accept Defeat Unite
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, the world of pirates was also undergoing drastic changes.
"We cannot sit idly by."
On an island hidden in the stormy sea, dozens of pirates of all kinds gathered in a brightly lit hall.
Their faces were filled with anger and anxiety, and more of it was the resentment buried deep in their hearts.
This was once a secret base of great pirates, but now, it has become a refuge and planning place for all pirates who feel threatened by the Combined Fleet.
"The new navy and the navy have joined forces and gone completely crazy!"
A big man with scars all over his face roared and slammed the table hard, causing the corner of the table to crack.
"They are going to kill us all!
From the East China Sea to the Great Route, no sea area is safe!"
"calm down."
In the hall, a figure slowly stood up.
He was tall, wearing a tattered cloak and an iron mask on his face, looking extremely mysterious.
His voice was low and calm, yet it contained a pressure that could not be ignored.
“We knew that the Navy would take action sooner or later.
This sea has always been our stage, but now they want to tear it down and replace it with their own rules.”
"Then what do we do?"
Another pirate leader frowned and asked, his face was covered with sweat and fear was faintly visible in his eyes.
“Over the years, the navy has never demonstrated such a strong operational capability, and the new navy cannot be underestimated.
Jinan, Kuzan, and that damn Whitebeard remnant, if they unite together, we can't win at all!"
This sentence caused the entire hall to fall silent in an instant, and even the scar pirate who had slammed the table earlier was speechless for a moment.
However, just when the atmosphere was at its most solemn, a hoarse laugh broke the silence.
In a corner of the hall, a hunchbacked old man slowly stood up.
His white hair was like weeds, and his face was full of traces of time, but his eyes were as bright as two torches, revealing a chilling light.
"Do you think this is the end?"
The old man smiled, his voice a little cold.
"It's not time for the ocean to obey that bullshit 'new order'.
This sea belongs to us, to the pirates!
Whether it is the navy or the new navy, they think they can control everything, but that is just their delusion. "
"Captain Broca!"
Some pirates cried out in surprise. This old man was none other than the famous "Cannon" Brocka who had been famous on the sea decades ago. He was a terrifying existence who had once swept across the four seas with only one man and one ship.
Although he has retired for many years, his name is still well-known.
Brocka stood up straight, glanced at all the pirates in the hall, and said coldly:
"Have you forgotten that a true pirate is never afraid of a challenge!
If they want to come and wipe us out, let them come.
We are not prey, anyone who dares to get close will pay with blood."
The pirates in the hall couldn't help but shudder, but Brocka's words also ignited a long-lost fighting spirit in their hearts.
Yes, they are pirates, the most lawless creatures in this ocean.
No matter how powerful the combined fleet is, they cannot surrender easily.
"And us!"
Just then, the door of the hall was pushed open and a group of people walked in.
Leading the group was a tall man in a red cloak. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's and he wore an ancient sword at his waist.
"Sparrow!"
Some people recognized the person coming and couldn't help but gasp.
This name was once the nightmare of the pirate world.
He was "Blood Blade" Sparrow, a demon who killed countless people, but he suddenly retired and disappeared ten years ago.
"It seems everyone has heard about it."
Sparrow walked to the center of the hall, looked around, and his voice was full of cold confidence.
“I heard that the combined fleet of the new navy and the navy has already taken action.
This is their declaration of war, and our opportunity to strike back.”
"Fight back?"
A pirate asked doubtfully,
"How are you going to fight back?"
Sparrow sneered:
“It’s simple, unite all the pirates who can still move.
No matter how powerful one person is, he cannot shake the entire ocean.
But together, we can make them regret it.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became boiling.
The pirates who were originally filled with fear began to discuss heatedly, and seemed to have regained their confidence under the instigation of Sparrow and Brocka.
"If even we retreat, this ocean will really be finished."
Broca said coldly,
"Today, we must stand up and tell those guys who claim to be righteous that the era of pirates is not over yet."
Sparrow nodded, with a hint of fanaticism in his tone:
“All ships and pirates capable of fighting, assemble.
This time, we want to let the whole world know that pirates are never something that can be easily eradicated."
The news of this meeting spread quickly, burning like wildfire in every corner of the sea.
The great pirates who had once retired came out one after another, bringing their own forces and gathering at the designated location.
The Grand Line, the East China Sea, the West China Sea, the South China Sea... the pirates' battle songs can be heard in every sea area.
Those once horrifying names reappeared in intelligence, forcing the Navy and the new Navy to reassess the risks of this war.
“This will be a confrontation unlike anything we’ve ever seen.”
Sengoku said coldly while standing on the navy flagship, his eyes fixed on the latest intelligence.
His expression was solemn, but he showed no sign of backing down.
On the other side, Jinan stood on his flagship, looking at the horizon in the distance.
The knife in his hand tapped lightly on the deck, making a crisp sound.
There was no trace of fear in his eyes, only endless calmness.
"Since they refuse to accept the order of the new world, let this sea bury them."
Jin An said softly. Then, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Broca, Sparrow...Interesting, let me see how far you can struggle."
The destruction of the world government is like the sudden collapse of a mountain for the entire world. Although the shock at that moment is earth-shaking, for ordinary people, it seems that they do not feel many substantial changes immediately.
Their lives remain the same as usual, those who farm the land still work in the fields, and those who do business still travel on the boats.
However, some subtle changes were gradually noticed by people.
"Dad, our cargo ship has had a very smooth journey this year, hasn't it?"
In a small fishing village by the sea, at the dock, a young boy excitedly carried a basket of fish he had just caught and said to his father beside him.
There was joy and even some disbelief on his face.
His father was an old sailor who had been doing business on the sea for many years. Hearing this, he paused for a moment and then nodded:
“Indeed, things have been much smoother this year.
At this time of year in previous years, when we were sailing from the East China Sea to the South China Sea, we would be harassed by at least a few pirate groups, but during this period... we haven't even seen a trace of them."
As he spoke, his face did not completely relax, but instead showed a bit of vigilance.
"However, this situation always makes me feel uneasy. Pirates won't disappear so easily."
"Whatever!"
The young man smiled lightly.
“It’s best if they don’t come out.
I heard that the new navy and the navy have been working together to deal with those guys recently. I think these pirates should be completely wiped out.
How much worse would our lives be without them?"
When other villagers around heard this, they nodded and joined the discussion.
"is not that right!
I have two children in my family. One of them was kidnapped by pirates a few years ago, and I still don’t know whether he is dead or alive!
These pirates should all be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks!"
"Yes, a few years ago, those pirates burned, killed and looted outside the village, so we didn't even dare to go out to sea to fish.
These two months have been much quieter.”
The anger and resentment revealed in these words, mixed with a hint of relief, cast a complex mood over the entire dock.
