#176 - Chapter 176 The Age of Discovery Arrives
As the Navy's top brass had foreseen, the world descended into madness.
Roger's final words ignited countless hidden desires and ambitions like a magic spell.
Young people who had only dreamed of the sea were now setting sail to become pirates.
Every port, every sea area, displayed unprecedented clamor and turmoil.
In a small town in the East Blue, a group of young people gathered at the pier, discussing their future with burning passion.
"Roger has ushered in our Great Age of Pirates!"
A young man said excitedly, his eyes gleaming with dazzling light.
"We will also set sail and find our own dreams!"
Others nodded in agreement, encouraging each other, preparing to embark on an unknown adventure.
In other coastal towns and ports, streets that were once peaceful were now filled with new pirate faces.
Pirates who came under the banner of "freedom" brought endless disasters.
In a port town dyed golden-red by the morning light, the quiet morning was quickly shattered by screams and chaos.
A pirate ship with a skull flag docked, and a group of fierce pirates poured out.
They brandished their weapons, wantonly destroying shops and houses.
Smoke rose from all parts of the city, and flames devoured the tranquility of the past.
"Wealth and freedom are here!"
A pirate leader with a scarred face laughed wildly, directing his men to plunder.
They looted property to their heart's content, desecrated the people, and showed no humanity.
The once bustling market was now a hell of wailing and crying, people fled in all directions, and young people were even kidnapped to fill their ranks.
At the same time, the Grand Line was also full of turmoil.
Large areas of the sea were filled with newly emerging pirate crews.
They fought each other, formed alliances, and betrayed each other, trying to win a place in this endless ocean.
The same scene played out in the West Blue, North Blue, South Blue, and every corner of the Grand Line.
Those hearts ignited by Roger's words could no longer be restrained, eager to break through shackles and pursue freedom and wealth.
Beneath every wave seemed to hide countless conspiracies and crises.
A Navy patrol ship sped along the Grand Line, the soldiers on board nervously watching their surroundings.
The captain stood on the bridge, his face solemn, knowing that these emerging pirates would bring unprecedented pressure.
"Pay attention to the surroundings, report any anomalies immediately!"
He ordered, his voice calm and firm.
He constantly scanned the distant sea with his telescope, capturing any possible threat.
In another sea area, Sengoku and Kong's deployments were also underway in full swing.
In the Navy Headquarters' conference room, Sengoku and several senior generals were fiercely discussing the next course of action.
The sea chart on the table was marked with countless red dots, representing the locations and threats of the active pirate groups.
"We must unite the local bases to form a stronger defense network."
Sengoku said, slamming the table, his eyes full of determination.
"We must contain these thugs who wave the banner of 'freedom' and protect the safety of ordinary people."
Kong returned from the Red Line, bringing back the latest instructions from the World Government.
He stood aside, nodding his approval:
"But not only defense, we also need to take the initiative. Find their lairs and nip these threats in the bud."
The whole world was surrounded by chaos and madness, but the Navy's soldiers did not retreat because of it.
On the contrary, they strengthened their inner beliefs and vowed to return peace to the world.
Sengoku stood on the command tower of the Navy Headquarters, overlooking the busy naval base.
He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing heaviness and determination.
The stability of the past was gone, and the future would be endless challenges and battles.
But he knew that he and his colleagues, and the entire Navy, would stick to their duties and face this sweeping Great Age of Pirates.
"This is a new era,"
Sengoku muttered to himself,
"But we will never back down, justice will always be our faith and our guardian."
The Navy soldiers below were ready to go, and the warships set off in formation, heading to one turbulent sea area after another.
The sea breeze blew, the flags fluttered, and their hearts remained steadfast.
The future may be full of unknowns and obstacles, but that is why they need their courage and loyalty even more.
......
In the central square of the naval base, Jin was standing on a high platform, surrounded by his friends and subordinates, forming a noisy crowd.
The sunlight shone through the clouds, reflecting the determination and passion in everyone's eyes.
"Kuma, Ginny, Enel, Shiliew."
Jin called out the names one by one, each name like a charge, triggering a loud response.
"And the Kuja Pirates who have been temporarily transferred, are you all ready?"
His voice was loud and resounding.
Kuma silently walked to Jin's side, his burly figure giving a sense of stability;
Ginny smiled boldly, swinging a sledgehammer, full of fighting spirit;
Enel was high above, lightning flashing at his fingertips;
Shiliew sneered aside, the blade flashing coldly, full of bloodlust.
The female warriors of the Kuja Pirates stood in a row, each heroic and spirited, their eyes full of dissatisfaction.
They didn't want to work for nothing!!!
"Except for leaving some people to guard the base, everyone else will be dispatched, the target - the entrance to the Grand Line!"
Jin raised his right hand and issued the order to move.
This time, it was a joint operation with the headquarters, but the pressure was still great.
He knew that this battle would determine their future.
If successful, more and more people would join them in fighting the pirates.
If they failed, it would be a huge blow to the Navy's reputation.
The warriors responded in unison, their voices converging into a torrent that shook the entire base.
Jin looked around at these companions who trusted him, feeling extremely proud and proud.
Each of them was an elite, full of courage and strength, and this operation would be the greatest test of their loyalty and ability.
"Let's go!"
Jin waved his hand, as if opening an invisible gate, and everyone quickly acted according to the instructions.
Kuma led a team to advance by land, Ginny and Enel each led two small teams at sea, and Shiliew, as a vanguard, took the first step to scout the enemy's situation.
The warriors of the Kuja Pirates skillfully boarded the pirate ship.
They were the elite of the sea, familiar with every undercurrent and vortex, and knew how to move swiftly in the waves.
Jin stood at the highest point of the command ship, looking out at the distant sea.
He could feel the blood in his heart flowing faster, and he could hear a little unease in the wind, but he was still unwavering.
The persistence in his heart for justice and the future made him fearless.
The fleet sailed through the waves, splashing water, and the sails fluttered in the wind.
However, Jin knew that no matter whether there were mountains of knives or seas of fire ahead, they would move forward unswervingly.
At sea, the fleet was like a huge dragon, sailing into the distance with infinite power and hope.
With the rise and fall of the waves and the fluttering of the sails, each of them had an unquenchable fighting spirit burning in their hearts.
"We will succeed."
Jin muttered to himself, his eyes firm and powerful.
He knew that he was not alone, and that there were so many excellent partners fighting side by side with him.
The future may be full of dangers and difficulties, but they would use courage and wisdom to meet every challenge and strive for every victory.
The sun gradually rose, and a new day began.
On this turbulent ocean, countless people fought for their beliefs.
Justice and evil, ideals and ambitions, intertwined and collided in this boundless sea.
