chapter 44

This battle is a bit early for you."

When Adam Rice heard Sakazuki's words, he smiled nonchalantly, disapprovingly.

The world is full of unreasonable things.

Even if you are a traveler, the world cannot revolve around you.

From the tragic experience he had just passed through, Adam Rice had long since realized this clearly.

"Disasters are always unpredictable, and avoidance will never become a strong man."

He smiled faintly, the snow-white cloak dancing wildly in the wind behind him.

Sakazuki seemed to have long expected Adam Rice to react like this, and there was a flash of appreciation and approval in his gloomy eyes.

"Lieutenant General Sakazuki...are we going to retreat?"

At this moment, one after another with trembling voices sounded from the deck behind him.

The surrounding navy soldiers looked at Sakazuki in horror, staring at his back, as if they were expecting a certain answer from him.

Adam Rice glanced at them, and bloodless faces came into view.

They were all terrified.

No wonder they.

Although they are said to be the headquarters of the naval establishment, most of them are administrative officers and civilians.

After all, their trip to the North Sea was only to receive officers who were trained at the Marine Ford officer training camp at the headquarters, not to crusade pirates nor to perform missions.

Where would they think,

On the return journey, you will encounter such a famous and famous pirate force as the Roger Pirates?

Lack of sufficient combat power, they had a slightly more rational idea. They all reported to the headquarters for support first, and immediately retreated after confirming the location of the Roger Pirates.

They thought so.

This is also the answer they hoped the commander of this warship, Sakazuki, would give them.

But all of them are doomed to disappointment.

"retreat?"

"We are the Navy."

"Then there is a reason why the navy has to retreat in the face of pirates?"

"Take up your weapons and prepare to fight!"

Sakazuki's gloomy and indifferent voice sounded hoarse, with a command tone that no one could question.

Hearing Sakazuki's order, all the navy members present couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Are there really going to be wars?

Sakazuki and Borsalino also naturally and keenly sensed the fear in the hearts of their subordinates, and glanced at each other.

And at this time,

Adam Rice, who had been silent for a while, suddenly laughed, took a step forward and slowly drew out the saber from his waist.

He raised the saber in his hand high above his head.

Such an eye-catching picture, coupled with his unique charm and temperament, suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

"Everyone—"

He opened his mouth and said, his voice low and powerful, full of some kind of unique magnetism.

"I know you're scared, scared."

"To be honest, my current mood, like yours, is full of fear."

"It's normal, don't try to resist your emotions."

Adam Rice's voice slowly rippled on the deck of the warship.

Strangely enough,

Following Adam Rice's opening, an invisible, faint aura quietly emanated from his body, covering everyone present.

Adam Rice glanced lightly at everyone, and they all stood still, as if holding their breath.

"The Roger Pirates are really strong."

"But don't forget, we are the Navy."

"The duty of the navy is to arrest pirates and fight against evil."

"This military uniform we wear has given us such glory."

"We are a brave navy."

"Because true courage is not the absence of fear, but the victory over fear."

"If we retreat here, the justice we carry will be meaningless."

"Because there is a first time, there will be a second time... Maybe it won't be long before we encounter a pirate with a single-lens reflex camera, and we will subconsciously want to retreat."

"What about Roger?"

"What about the Roger Pirates?"

Adam Rice's voice suddenly became high-pitched, excited, with boundless anger.

"The brave man is angry, but he draws his blade to the stronger; the cowardly is angry, but he draws his blade to the weaker!"

"Tell me, are you brave or cowardly?"

The moment the voice fell,

An invisible and treacherous aura suddenly spread out from Adam Rice's body,

His dazzling eyes, which were as dazzling as stars, suddenly became incomparably pitch-black, like two miniature black hole vortexes.

Hundreds of navy soldiers on the warship were shocked when they heard the words.

A crazy idea gradually emerged from their minds.

It was a rush to try... madness!

Yeah, what about the Roger Pirates?

I am a navy!

The navy cannot retreat!

If the Roger Pirates can be killed here, they will become the navy, no, they will become the great heroes admired by everyone in this sea!

More importantly,

They also had Sakazuki and Vice Admiral Borsalino this time,

This is a "monster" that even Mr. Karp and the others highly recognize!
