#172 - Chapter 172 1VS? 0000
"Go evacuate the surrounding civilians."
Jin ordered his subordinates in the Navy.
The Navy personnel, who had worked alongside Jin for a long time, reacted swiftly and executed the order without delay, quickly heading towards the people in the square who had not yet left.
He had many methods to make these people leave.
However, in order to complete Vice Admiral Jin's assigned task as quickly as possible.
"It seems I need to use some unconventional methods."
Garp stood by the window, his eyes sharp, looking through the glass at the bustling streets and the growing commotion outside.
He frowned slightly, turning his head to look at Jin:
"Are those pirates here to cause you trouble?"
Jin nodded, a hint of annoyance in his eyes:
"It seems like they are indeed coming for me."
Garp suddenly burst into laughter, his voice filled with boldness:
"Being a Marine is like this; you inadvertently attract a large group of enemies."
He patted Jin on the shoulder, his tone encouraging:
"These pirates are not much of a problem for you."
Jin smiled slightly, glanced at Garp, and nodded.
All the people in Loguetown combined posed no threat to him, let alone just this small group.
Garp continued:
"I'll go take care of Roger's affairs first."
With that, Garp turned and left the room, his figure somewhat desolate.
Jin's gaze returned to the window, waiting for the crowd to be evacuated.
Outside the window, the Marines had already begun to move, gradually guiding the civilians to safe areas.
A tense but orderly atmosphere permeated the air, Jin stood there, silently observing, preparing to face the upcoming challenge.
The pirates coldly watched the panicked crowd evacuating, unmoved.
Their purpose in coming here was very clear – to find the kid in that house.
As for other things, they were too lazy to do any more than necessary.
Charlotte Oven stood aside, his brow furrowed, his face showing some dissatisfaction.
He stared at Bababanuki standing in front of him and asked in a cold voice:
"Bababanuki, Kaido only sent you here?"
Bababanuki met Oven's questioning gaze without flinching, his voice filled with obvious disdain:
"Oven, mind your own business with the Beasts Pirates."
"Besides, the dozens of people behind me are all good fighters."
His gaze swept over the pirates following closely behind him, each with fierce expressions and an imposing aura.
"Lord Kaido is busy, I'm enough here."
Bababanuki continued, his tone full of confidence and pride.
Charlotte Oven sneered, looking at the Beasts Pirates members in front of him with disdain.
In his eyes, these people were not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
Watching Bababanuki's confident look, Oven's heart was filled with ridicule and contempt; these people were at most cannon fodder on the battlefield.
"Good luck to you, Jin is not so easy to deal with."
Oven said mockingly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
He knew Jin's strength, and in this situation, few people would be able to escape unscathed.
Moreover, he had come here on his own initiative; he wanted his family to know that he, Oven, was a real man.
Bababanuki and his men did not flinch at Oven's ridicule, but instead strengthened their resolve.
Oven turned and left, ignoring these self-righteous Beasts Pirates members, leaving only a cold back view.
He knew that there would be a hard fight ahead, and he would witness the fate of these people.
On this ruthless sea, only the strong can survive, and the weak will be eliminated.
The kid in the house would be the focus of their fight, and there might be times when they had to cooperate with the surrounding pirate groups.
The residents of Loguetown did not fully understand what was happening, but under the arrangement of the Marines, they consciously left the square.
For them, today's excitement was over, and it didn't matter where they went next.
"Anyway, we won't see anything more, let's go back early."
At the same time, the Marines presented a different picture; their faces were filled with repression and heaviness.
After the execution, Roger's words struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
Another part of what weighed on their minds was the worry about what might happen in Loguetown next.
"Will Roger's last words bring great turmoil to the whole world?"
"Who knows, but after today, Loguetown might really become famous."
This once peaceful town had now become the beginning of the Great Pirate Era.
Countless ambitious pirates would flock to the Grand Line, seeking their opportunities and challenges.
"Everyone, perk up and be prepared; we cannot let the pirates devour this town."
The Marines acted quickly according to instructions; although their hearts were full of doubts and unease, they still insisted on fulfilling their duties.
......
"Jin, just come out!"
Charlotte Oven shouted loudly, his voice shaking the entire square like thunder.
"Roger has come to an end, and next will be the world of us new era pirates."
Standing aside, Bababanuki was somewhat unconvinced, his brow furrowed, and his fists clenched.
He knew in his heart that his Beasts Pirates was the youngest and most promising pirate group in the New World and should be respected and feared.
But at this moment, he could only silently watch the attic in front, waiting for the possible changes that would follow.
The surrounding pirates gathered together, shouting in unison, erupting with a shocking momentum.
That sense of oppression was like a landslide, causing the surrounding houses and land to tremble involuntarily.
The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and the clash of auras between the various pirate groups brought great psychological pressure.
At this moment, Jin walked out of the attic at a leisurely pace, his expression calm and composed.
His pace was steady and rhythmic, unaffected by the tense atmosphere around him.
His sharp eyes swept over the dense crowd of pirates in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.
"It seems I'm quite popular; there are tens of thousands of people here."
Jin said softly, his words carrying a faint sarcasm and disdain.
In the dense crowd, countless eyes were staring at him, not only from the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, but also many unfamiliar faces.
Each of them was full of fighting spirit and ambition, waiting for a signal, ready to pounce on this powerful opponent at any time.
Charlotte Oven chuckled, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes:
"Jin, don't think that you alone can deter us new era pirates."
Jin smiled slightly, not caring about the hostility around him.
His eyes were like torches, scanning the entire battlefield, his heart full of fighting spirit:
"Then come on, let me see what you so-called new era pirates are capable of."
Just as his voice fell, the surrounding pirates surged forward like a torrent, and the entire square instantly became a battlefield of chaos.
Everyone displayed their unique skills, and huge energy fluctuations intertwined in the air, creating countless sparks.
Jin stood quietly in the center of the field, looking as if nothing was happening.
"In front of me, one person and tens of thousands of people are no different..."
...
