Chapter 135: Whitebeard Pirates' threat
One month later.
The G-10 base was basically rebuilt. With the Berries brought by Kizaru, Karl was able to settle the wages. Otherwise, he would have had to pay out of his own pocket.
Karl wasn't very busy during the reconstruction period. After all, the news had reported it, and even the sea overlord Kaido didn't work. Some ordinary pirate crews basically bypassed G-10. What pirate with eyes would dare to walk through G-10 openly?
Base Commander's office.
"Karl, received news from headquarters. A pirate crew is about to pass through the route near our G-10 base. Vice Admiral Onigumo is chasing them and needs us to cooperate in surrounding the pirates."
Karl opened his eyes and touched his chin: "Which pirate is so crazy? Daring to run towards me?"
"Uh, Madman Regus, was defeated by the BIG MOM Pirates not long ago and joined the BIG MOM Pirates."
Okay, this is truly crazy.
"Fine! You and Nelson go together! Dispatch five warships to cooperate with Vice Admiral Onigumo's operation and try to capture this so-called madman!"
Ain nodded: "Understood! Then I'm leaving."
Although Ain really wanted to go on a mission with Karl, Karl is the base commander after all, and must guard the base if there is no emergency mission to prevent what happened last time.
After Ain left for a while, Karl quickly walked to the window, confirmed that Ain had left the base, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
G-10 base port, a merchant ship was docked nearby, and a fat man stood anxiously by the railing, seemingly waiting for someone to appear.
Suddenly, the fat merchant's eyes lit up, because a handsome man in a suit was walking over not far away, with a Justice cloak on his back. It was the person he was looking for, no doubt!
"Oh my! Vice Admiral Karl, you finally came. My ship has been delayed, the loss..."
A stack of Berries was forcibly stuffed into the fat merchant's arms by Karl. The fat merchant immediately showed a fawning smile: "Hehe, Vice Admiral Karl, it doesn't matter how long you wait. Everything you want is on the ship, shall I take you to see it?"
Karl nodded and followed the fat merchant into the cabin, which was full of all kinds of jewelry.
Pointing casually at an exquisite necklace, Karl asked: "Are these all real? Don't lie to me, otherwise you know the consequences."
The surrounding air suddenly turned cold. The fat merchant wiped the cold sweat from his head and said cautiously: "Uh, this, this, this, and this are defective products. I guarantee with my life that the others are real!"
"Hmph~ really dishonest! I'm giving them to someone. If someone else finds out, where will I put my face?"
Hearing Karl say this, the fat merchant broke into a cold sweat, his face pale, and he stammered for a long time without being able to speak.
"Alright, stop pretending, pack up all the real ones. By the way, where are the custom-made twin swords? Where are they?"
The fat merchant quickly took out a box and opened it in front of Karl.
What came into view were two short swords crossed together. Exquisite patterns were engraved on the blades, and the hilts were even more exquisite, which could be called works of art.
Karl then picked up a short sword and tested its strength. It was okay, the level of a Fine Grade sword, it would definitely be fine for actual combat.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Karl smiled and patted the fat merchant on the shoulder, scaring him into a shiver: "Don't be nervous, I'm very satisfied. I won't miss a single cent of the agreed reward."
Customizing this pair of short swords cost Karl about 10 million Berries, almost enough to buy a Great Grade sword. But since it was a birthday gift for Ain, Karl naturally wouldn't be stingy.
On the other side.
Ain soon joined forces with Onigumo and surrounded Madman Regus. Regus, whose bounty was less than 200 million, soon knelt down, almost beaten to the point of being unable to take care of himself by Onigumo.
However, at this moment, a fleet of ships approached the warship silently. The leading ship was the Moby Dick!
"Pops, it seems to be the Navy ahead, but it shouldn't be aimed at us."
"Gurarara~ Navy? Give them a lesson, don't block my way."
"Leave it to us, Pops!"
On the warship, Ain, who was preparing to withdraw, saw the pirate ship in the distance and her pupils shrank. She shouted loudly: "Pirate ship appearing at 9 o'clock! All hands on alert!!!"
"Oh my god! It, it's the Moby Dick! Whitebeard is here!!"
"What? Whitebeard! That strongest man in the world? How could he appear here!!"
Vice Admiral Onigumo suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly took out the Den Den Mushi to apply for support from headquarters. Running away was impossible; even if the whole army was wiped out, they couldn't run away.
G-10 base, Karl was polishing Qiushui and Leiyu, and the public Den Den Mushi on the desk rang.
After a while, Karl hung up the phone with a heavy face. The Whitebeard Pirates are here. Is it aimed at him? Doesn't look Move Move Like it. If it were aimed at him, they would have come long ago.
Brrr-brrr-brrr~
"Karl, we encountered the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"I know, I'll rush over immediately. Before I arrive, make sure to protect yourself, you know?"
"It's too late, Vice Admiral Onigumo has already started fighting with Marco the Phoenix, we have suffered heavy losses!" "Die! Navy!"
The phone hung up urgently. Karl took a deep breath and summoned Raven without saying a word, riding on its back.
"Speed up!"
"Caw?"
"Fly northwest!"
"Caw!"
On the sea, there were wrecks of warships everywhere, and the few remaining warships were already crowded with members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Onigumo gritted his teeth and fought with Marco, but the Navy soldiers dying one after another still made him feel heartbroken.
"Still not surrendering? Onigumo, if you don't surrender, these Navy soldiers won't be able to hold on!"
Whitey Bay on the side stuck out her twin daggers, stabbed a Navy soldier to death, and then set her target on another Navy soldier. As long as they didn't surrender, she would kill them mercilessly.
Ever since her team was wiped out by Karl last time, she had truly become a witch, a witch who had gone astray.
Ain, holding twin swords, was fighting another man holding twin swords. He had a pompadour hairstyle and dressed Move Move Like a chef, but his strength was very strong. Ain, who only mastered Observation Haki, could barely resist.
Trying to get close to him to use her ability was even harder.
"Miss Navy, don't make any more futile resistance, surrender!"
Ain said coldly: "Don't dream, pirates, the Navy will never surrender!"
Thatch shook his head helplessly and sighed: "What a stubborn temper! No choice, sorry!"
Swish~
Thatch suddenly rushed to Ain's side, knocked away Ain's twin swords, kicked Ain's foot, and after Ain fell to the ground, pointed his sword at her throat.
"Don't move, Miss Navy..."
