Chapter 63 G1 Branch
When Nicholas and his group arrived at the Sea Area where the G1 Branch was located, most of the enemy warships had already sailed out of the Port and formed a Formation in the Sea Area ahead.
Looking at the countless warships in the Sea Area ahead and the Navy on those warships standing ready for battle, Nicholas was deeply moved.
These Navy, even knowing it was him and Whitebeard who were coming, still dared to deploy warships and form a Formation, undoubtedly showing they had made their Resolve.
Both Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Nicholas's Rumble-Rumble Fruit could be said to be absolute Kings in chaotic battles.
It could be said that Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit was completely restrained during the war at Marineford.
The capture of Ace, and the fact that he had to rescue the Captains under his command and the members of the allied Pirate Crew at Marineford, completely prevented him from using his Strength unbridled.
If Whitebeard had been even more ruthless and disregarded Ace's life, he could have single-handedly destroyed Marineford during the war, and except for Sengoku, Garp, and a few other top Navy Combat Power, the hundred thousand elite Navy gathered at Marineford would have all perished with it.
However, there are no ifs. Sengoku, the Navy's wise general with Conqueror's Haki, who aspired to rule the Sea with Justice, could be said to have a firm grasp of Whitebeard's Personality.
Especially after learning that Ace was Roger's son and Whitebeard's acknowledged 'son', Sengoku was even more confident that Whitebeard would come to Marineford even knowing it was a trap.
"Attention everyone, Rocks Pirates' highest Officer, Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Albert Nicholas have appeared!"
"Level one Combat Alarm, all ships prepare for battle!"
As the piercing Alarm sounded on the Ship, personnel in various parts of the Navy also began to quickly busy themselves.
"Gunners in position!"
"Communication with other ships is normal!"
"Wind speed level three, southeasterly wind!"
"Power Room is normal!"
"Come on, Whitebeard Pirates!"
Looking at the huge Pirate Ship in the shape of a whale that had already appeared in sight, all the Navy were serious.
Although the number of enemy ships was obviously less than their own, and even to a certain extent, the number of enemy ships was less than one-fiftieth of their own, the two figures standing at the forefront of the whale-shaped Pirate Flagship at the very front were like two mountains pressing down on the hearts of all the Navy.
Even as the distance between the two sides continued to close, many of the Navy's hands holding guns were sweating, and the Gunners aiming their guns were also highly tense, with beads of sweat rolling down their heads, but they didn't dare to wipe them, just pursing their lips tightly.
It could be said that from the moment they received the News that Whitebeard and Nicholas were going to attack the G1 Branch, and the order from above for all ships to set sail, they knew that after this War, they might never return, and their families might only receive a Letter, unable to even find a Corpse.
But even with the fear in their hearts, no one would choose to escape.
Because they knew that they became Navy to protect their families, and the kind older sister next door who watched them grow up, or the uncle who used to carry them on his shoulders when they were children, or the Village chief grandfather in the Village who scolded them when they wanted to swim in the Sea.
In short, they all had something they needed to protect, and in order to protect these beautiful things from being destroyed, they would not retreat even if they knew they might die.
And apart from these Navy who had their own beliefs in their hearts, there were also some people in the Navy who did not show the slightest fear or tension when facing the appearing Pirates Fleet.
In their eyes, there was only the Flame of hatred burning fiercely.
It could be said that to a large extent, the reason why the Navy could have a constant stream of Soldiers, apart from better Welfare, the greatest contributors were these Pirates who wreaked havoc on the Sea.
Whenever a Village or Town was Plunder by Pirates, it would contribute many reserve Soldiers to the Navy.
These people, whose relatives were killed, or whose wives, sisters, and Daughters were defiled, knew very well that they were simply unable to take revenge with their own Strength, and the only way they could take revenge was to join the Navy and use the Power of the Navy to exterminate Pirates.
"Moby Dick has appeared."
"Following it are a total of thirty ships from different Pirates, and the identities of the other parties are currently being verified!"
"Everyone be careful, prepare for battle."
"The enemy has stopped!"
The Navy's observation unit immediately began to observe the situation of the Whitebeard Pirate Fleet, and then began to report Intelligence to each Ship. After all, in this kind of War, if they could obtain Intelligence on the opponent's high-end Combat Power, they could formulate corresponding countermeasures.
Of course, this would not be of much use to Powerful Figure like Whitebeard and Nicholas, after all, in the absence of an equal Powerful Figure to confront them, it would be almost impossible to take down this level of Powerful Figure.
"Whitebeard Captain, a large-scale Navy Fleet has appeared ahead!!!"
"Clang, clang, clang."
The sound of knocking came from the Moby Dick, and everyone's eyes converged on the source of the sound, and the atmosphere became tense.
On the Moby Dick, a tall figure stood on the Deck of the Moby Dick, the long handle of the Naginata in his hand occasionally knocking on the Deck under his feet.
"[booming laugh], don't we know who the opponent we are facing is when we come here? What's all the fuss about?"
At this time, the Sky above the Sea also began to be covered with Dark Clouds, and from time to time there was a huge Rumbling Sound from the clouds, as if foreshadowing the bloody storm that was about to come.
The change in the weather made both the Navy and Pirates feel a little depressed.
After Whitebeard finished speaking, he squinted at Nicholas standing beside him.
There was no way around it, this little brat was too short, not even as tall as his thigh, and he really couldn't see him without lowering his head.
"[booming laugh], Lightning brat, are you ready to make a big scene?"
Faced with Whitebeard's question, Nicholas just smiled.
"Whitebeard, stop testing me, haven't you always been clear about my attitude? Meaningless battles have no fun, and I don't believe you haven't noticed the Resolve of the Navy opposite, since they dare to appear in front of us, they have already made preparations to fight to the death.
Moreover, we only promised Captain Rocks to stop the Navy gathered at the G1 Branch from Supporting the Battlefield, but we didn't promise to completely defeat them.
Of course, it would be good if everyone continued like this, but if the other party is not sensible, then there is no way around it. What's more, don't you want to go and see that world-class battle at that time?"
Nicholas said, adjusting his State, preparing for the upcoming War.
"[booming laugh], what a cunning fellow."
Whitebeard heard Nicholas's words and did not object, it could be said that Nicholas's statement was also what he was thinking.
"Whitebeard, they've stopped!"
"What!?"
Hearing this News, all the high-ranking Navy generals were a little dumbfounded.
"What are these guys planning to do!?"
"Damn it, this puts us on the defensive instead."
"No matter what the other party is planning to do, everyone prepare for battle!"
Vice Admiral Alva, the highest-ranking officer at the G1 Branch, looked at the Pirate Ships such as Whitebeard in the distance, his face a little gloomy.
Because according to the Combat Deployment made before, he would lead the Navy gathered at the G1 Branch to Support the Battlefield, and now being blocked by Whitebeard, it was definitely impossible to leave openly.
