Chapter 490 Booming Ambition
Chapter 490 Booming Ambition
Annie tried her best to stop Luffy from going to see the redhead.
Under Akatsuki's rational and emotional 'fist persuasion', Luffy finally agreed to postpone the meeting with the red-haired pirates.
No one knows the red-haired strength better than Anne.
If Luffy really faced him now, he probably wouldn't have much chance of winning.
She needs some psychological support.
Luffy needs to prove that he is really strong enough to fight against the red hair.
The Sonny finally continued moving in the direction of the pointer.
However, an unexpected piece of news broke their original sailing plan.
The Blackbeard Pirates' large fleet launched a massive attack on the Sphinx Islands, intending to occupy the Sphinx as their new territory and base camp.
Sphinx Island was originally the hometown of Whitebeard.
After the battle, Marco led the remaining men of the Whitebeard Pirates back to the Sphinx to recuperate.
This island also developed rapidly after Higali took over, and now it has completely taken over the nearby islands, forming a large and prosperous archipelago.
The Blackbeard Pirates, who escaped from the bombing of Beehive Island, were seriously injured, but they were still there.
Because he had learned from the past, he did not dare to station himself on the island at will.
They can only integrate the remaining remnants and keep flying the flag of the Blackbeard Pirates' fleet, floating on the sea.
Probably seeing that the World Government's attention was recently diverted by the Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hat Pirates, Blackbeard Teach breathed a sigh of relief and became bolder.
In addition, the Navy dismissed Fujitora from the post of general and issued a wanted order, which allowed Blackbeard to act openly. .
After all, the navy now only has one bare commander, Akainu, and he will not come to the sea to arrest people in person.
As one of the four emperors, how could the pirate group not have its own territory?
So they targeted the territory that Fujitora had snatched from them before, and that originally belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates.
More than 30 pirate ships sailed toward the waters of the Sphinx Islands.
The undercover agents in the Blackbeard Pirates immediately sent the fleet's movements back to Higali.
After all, the Sphinx is also an important stopover in Higali.
As soon as Higali received the news, he notified the Whitebeard Pirates stationed in the Sphinx.
It was difficult for Higali to come forward about this matter, but for prudent reasons, they informed Anne.
After all, Blackbeard Teach is also one of the Four Emperors.
Moreover, he is also a unique dual-fruit or even multi-fruit capable user.
Among them, the Dark Fruit almost restrains all Devil Fruit abilities.
Facing such a powerful enemy, it is still unknown whether the Whitebeard Pirates can defend the Sphinx.
The Sphinx is not far from the location of the Straw Hat Pirates, and Luffy also cheered up when he learned that the enemy he was about to face was the Blackbeard Pirates.
Ever since Annie told him that his current strength was not enough to compete with the red-haired man, he had become even more eager to improve himself.
For a fighting genius like him, there was no crash course more effective than fighting.
What's more, his dear big brother Ace is still there.
And that Blackbeard was the culprit who let Ace die once!
On the one hand, it is to worry about one's relatives, and on the other hand, it is also to improve one's own strength.
Therefore, he fully approved of going to the Sphinx.
The Sonny lurched forward in the direction of the Sphinx.
After receiving the news, the Whitebeard Pirates immediately began intensive deployment.
In the more than two years since the War, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates has been racing against time to improve themselves.
In the original war on top, they didn't rescue Ace, let alone their father.
This incident has almost become an indelible scar in the hearts of everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates!
Although many people left the team, those who stayed in Sphinx will always remember their hatred!
He is not yet capable of challenging Navy Admiral Akainu, but they are always paying attention to the traitor who has been active on the sea!
The residents of the island were relocated to the undersea military base under the Sphinx Island.
After all, the scale of this battle is certainly not small.
If it affects residents, the losses must be serious.
This is my father's hometown, the land he has always cherished and protected.
They are still determined to protect this place, even if they pay for it with their lives!
The island's defense deployment level has been raised to the highest level, and Higali's army will not intervene in this battle.
However, several Transformers that accompanied Annie to kill everyone in New Marineland were repaired and transported to the Sphinx.
"Is this the battle robot that showed off its skills in New Marineland and gave Akainu a headache?"
"I heard they are called Transformers?"
"This thing? Can it really fight?"
"I do not believe!"
"Isn't this just a car? How can we fight?"
"Didn't Higali use this thing as a means of transportation? What does it have to do with fighting?"
"not sure."
"I've seen Higali drive this car before, how about we try it too?"
"Okay!"
"I've wanted to try this kind of transportation for a long time! It's so fast! You can travel thousands of miles a day!"
"Can you drive?"
"I won't!"
"Those people are so stingy. They wouldn't let me touch it unless they said their car was for military use!"
"Then what's the use of saying this!"
"Didn't they say that if you drive recklessly, you will get into a car accident?"
"What are you afraid of! This is Jozi, let him try. He is so tough, even if there is a car accident, you can't kill him!"
"What did you say?"
"Ehehe~ Jozy, I was kidding!"
"This thing can't be opened at all!"
......
Everyone was noisy and making a fuss, without any sense of tension that the battle was about to begin.
Marco pushed his eyes helplessly and put away the defense map in his hand.
"I told you, you should have some snacks! That bastard's fleet has already arrived at the outer sea."
"Dim sum, what dim sum?"
Ace, wearing a blue ghost fang mask, came out of nowhere.
He has been practicing with Leili for the past two years and has not spent much time on the island.Therefore, except for the captains of the squad, very few other members knew his identity.
Of course, I am also afraid that too many people will know and the news will be leaked.
Therefore, whenever he appears in front of people, he usually wears a mask and a black robe.
Marco hit him on the head with a hammer.
"Just know to eat!"
"Have all the military defenses along the coast been inspected?"
"Report to Captain Marco! The inspection work has been successfully completed! Please give instructions!"
Ayu, who was riding on Komachiyo, imitated the posture of a Higali soldier and gave Marco a less than standard military salute.
"Well done! Captain Ayu!"
"There are no tasks for now, you can go eat first!"
"Yeah"
"You can go eat~"
As soon as Ayu heard that he was eating, he forgot about the identity of the team leader he was holding. He immediately greeted Komachiyo and the long list of animals behind him excitedly and rushed towards the canteen.
Marco and Ace smiled slightly when they saw the lively figure.
"The day is finally here."
Marco looked at the distant skyline with some emotion in his tone.
"Yes, this day is finally coming."
Ace's tone was heavy, with some murderous intent mixed in with it.
"Ace, this time, we must not be like before."
"Don't worry, I know."
