An unexpected encounter with Roger's pirates.

This time, the battle for the pirates could be described as "tiger head and snake tail", the rest did almost nothing, and everything was already decided by Sakazuki alone, although it was good, and some people felt frustrated, but under Sakazuki's strong rule, they could only admit it.

　　"That's good, save us trouble."

　　In the middle of the kitchen, Peberton told John with a smile that it was easier for him not to quarrel.

　　John's thoughts were not much different from Peberton's, but when he thought of Sakazuki, he sighed, "Sakazuki is too direct, especially when it comes to pirates, he doesn't think about others."

　　"Love and hate? I don't think there's a word like that, I think people are more upset about it." Peberton said.

　　John said, "This world is strong, the displeasure of others is nothing to Sakazuki, don't look at Sakazuki as unforgiving, but in fact he is smart enough to just score points."

　　Because of Borsalino, John had a good friendship with Sakazuki and knew well what kind of person Sakazuki was - cold and ruthless, yes, but also a man who knew the situation well.

　　The fat on Peberton's face twitched and he said with a smile: "Anyway, we want to hit the big jackpot and get a good position in the future, our life is so long, so we'll just be messing around."

　　John was speechless, his indifference to the world was temporary, because he was not yet strong enough, the time had not yet come.

　　But this guy, Peberton, was really at odds with the world, everyone else was thinking about how to become famous, and he was good, only thinking about how to make ends meet, and he could see that this was really the true mentality Peberton.

　　John felt that this Peberton definitely had a backbone, otherwise he wouldn't be so sure of himself.

　　John learned from this incident that the sea trials were destined to be pointless.

　　In the next ten days, they met two more waves of pirates, but these were only small groups of pirates.

　　Once they were ruthlessly killed by Sakazuki, and once by Vitesse, who was ready and led an attack on a pirate ship, forcing Sakaski not to release lava, and subsequently taking credit for the wave of pirates killed.

　　John was like watching the show, watching them take points, what the hell is this teamwork, what is this test?

　　He felt that there was no need to compare this test this time, their group definitely lost.

　　For example, the Borsalino group I believe was led by Borsalino, he was much softer than Sakaski and he didn't have an asshole like Vitesse, he would definitely be in a much better position than they are here.

　　"Forget it, forget it, why think so much, let them fight."

　　Garp, who followed John and the others, calmed down for a while: thanks to Baruch's constant reports, he monitored the movement of the warship in real time, and there were no accidents, which made his life very comfortable.

　　"These guys are lucky they didn't run into strong pirates, but it's boring to mess around, and I'm wondering how things are going on the Zephyr side. I'm afraid that at this rate, the Dragon crew will laugh until the last."

　　This side's warships haven't run into any major pirates, and I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck, but the few small pirates they've destroyed aren't enough to support their victory, let alone the internal conflicts they have. .

　　"In less than ten days we will be able to return to our home base, I thought that this time out would be fun, but it turned out that it is not as real as life at home base."

　　Peberton grumbled at John, he was already pretty tired of this time, since there were only so many ingredients on the warship, and the lack of new ones simply did not interest him.

　　John nodded and said, "I think so too, after being out of the game for so long, training is not as fast as training at the base, in fact, I don't even have to fight, the battles are already over, it's so pointless."

　　Until now, he had never fought, he expected that after the encounter with the pirates, he would have bloody battles, which would allow him to improve his strength, but what now?

　　"A huge warship has been spotted and it looks like it's flying a pirate flag."

　　Mills, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly let out a cry of alarm, and Sakazuki, who had remained on deck all this time, immediately rushed towards him.

　　"What's happening?"

　　Mills' face was serious as he quickly said, "A huge warship, not at all like the pirate ships we've encountered before, has been spotted flying a pirate flag that I don't recognize."

　　Sakazuki took the binoculars from Mills' hands, looked around, and immediately frowned.

　　"This pirate ship is far from what a normal pirate group would have, do you recognize this pirate flag?"

　　Mills shook his head and said, "I haven't been to the Grant Line before, and I haven't sailed since I came to Headquarters, so how can I recognize those pirate flags?"

　　In the modern sea, the transfer of information has not yet been so fast, and decades later the world's largest newspaper was just coming into its own, the news birds had not yet reached the level where they could fly into a calm strip, as they later did.

　　If we add to this the fact that their current class was trained and did not even leave their home base, and dealt with pirates for the first time, then they would hardly have learned much so quickly, even by hearsay.

　　"Go get John, maybe he knows."

　　Knowing John for so long, and since John always said things he didn't quite understand, in Sakazuki's mind, John was the more knowledgeable person, and when in doubt, the first thing he was willing to do was find John.

　　John quickly approached and asked, puzzled, "Sakazuki, what happened?".

　　He was having a small kitchen session with Peberton when someone rushed over to him and called out to him, saying that Sakazuki was calling him.

　　Sakazuki handed the binoculars to John and said, "A large pirate ship, unlike any we've seen before, has been spotted with a pirate flag we don't recognize, let's see if you recognize it."

　　John took the binoculars and looked there, at first he did not pay much attention to it, but when he saw the pirate flag, his whole body trembled violently, and the binoculars fell out of his hands with a bang.

　　"What's happened?"

　　As soon as he saw this shocked expression on John's face, then Sakaski's face changed, he had known John for so long, and with this expression on John's face, it was obvious that he recognized the other member and that he must be unusual.

　　John, however, was unable to remain calm and immediately barked at Sakazuki, "Quick, turn around, the other side is not something we can handle, turn around, how the hell did we stumble upon them, how did they appear in the first half Grant Laine?

　　Sakaski didn't move, instead he asked in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on, who are they?"

　　"Yo, our little genius is scared like this: a navy meets a pirate, but actually turns around and runs away, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard."

　　At that moment, Vitesse and two of his followers approached and looked at John with a grin.

　　Sakazuki frowned and was about to say something, but John, who was always calm and reserved and did not take offense, snapped at Vitesse: "You're a damn joker, get out of my sight."

　　The shocked John didn't care who Vitesse was and swore on the spot without showing any sign of it.

　　"John, you want to be killed."

　　Vitesse was definitely one of them, even Sakazuki he challenged, and how could he hold back when John was yelling at him in front of so many people.

　　John fired back without backing down, "I don't have time to mess with your stupid ass right now, if you want to fight, wait until you find a safe place later and I'll fight you properly, now get out of the way."

　　John, who lived two lives, lived for over 40 years. In his eyes, Vitesse was just a guy who liked to show off, even if his opponent was not weak, he didn't care about him at all, and if he really fought, then he didn't care.

　　The most important thing now is your own safety, not John who managed to talk nonsense with Vitesse.

　　"Colonel Baruch". John quickly approached Baruch, who was standing in the distance, watching him.

　　"Let me go, I have to teach this guy, not even the hairy one, how dare he act so arrogantly towards me."

　　From anger, he did not understand what was happening, but the others clearly saw that something serious had happened that made John so nervous.

　　Baruch looked at John with a smirk and asked, "You boy, can you really be that hardheaded? Tell me what's going on."

　　John said with a straight face, "Colonel Baruch, I don't have time for jokes, you should contact Vice Admiral Garp right now and tell him that we have met a big enemy and ask him to come as soon as possible, otherwise we are all in danger of death." ".

　　"You".

　　Baruch's pupils narrowed, he contacted Garp several times, but each time he was very careful, how did Jon know about it?

　　But before the words left his lips, he saw John's face, full of urgent need, and his expression did not look fake.

　　"The problem is those pirates?"

　　John said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, this pirate flag and this pirate ship must be Roger's pirates."

　　"What? Roger's Pirates?"

　　Baruch, who was still calm, flinched in shock and immediately asked sharply, "Are you sure?"

　　"You can go and see for yourself."

　　Baruch immediately rushed to the deck, raised his binoculars and looked, after which his face changed dramatically.

　　Being Commodore of the Fleet, he naturally knew that a known large pirate group in the New World, this ship were Roger's Pirates, and it seemed that the other side had also spotted them and was heading towards their position.
