chapter 173

Boom! !

The wind and rain are quicker,

Thunder is more prosperous.

One after another, thunderstorms ripped apart the pitch-black sky, flickering endlessly among the heavy lead clouds.

It was like the silver dragons screaming down, venting the terror and majesty of this sea.

in the storm,

That resolute figure, with black wings whistling and vibrating behind him, charged forward in an indomitable manner towards the mighty BIG·MOM pirate group's steel torrent.

In the rain of fire and cannonballs,

Adam Rice's figure is like a swaying boat in the violent storm, as if it will be overwhelmed by this terrifying offensive at any time.

But his eyes are so determined and evil, revealing a cold and sharp light.

The oncoming cannonball and fire rain,

He didn't choose to hide,

but one after another,

In the toughest and most violent way,

Boom one by one!

In the thick smoke and fire,

In the intertwined light of light and shadow,

In the white light of darkness and thunder interweaving and flickering,

Adam Rice's figure looks so majestic and tall, giving people a majestic aura like a rainbow!

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

"come on!!"

He let out a carefree, heroic grin, as if the whole person was immersed in this fierce battle.

one person,

In the face of thousands of troops,

In the face of the innumerable artillery fire,

Facing the cruel and grinning faces of the BIG·MOM pirates,

He laughed so arrogantly.

･･･

In the roar of the booming artillery, the whole world became bright and dark.

Hot flames and billowing smoke filled the entire sky.

On a warship that wobbles, seems likely to fall apart at any moment and become torn apart,

Momonga, Doberman, Mole and many other naval elites stood in the same place.

in the wind and rain,

Their figures were motionless, and the icy rain slapped their faces, but none of them felt anything.

Like statues that have been air-dried,

Their blank, sluggish, shocked and even overwhelmed expressions were filled with all kinds of complicated emotions.

"My order to you is... to act freely according to your own will... 々"."

in their minds,

Blank.

Only the words Adam Rice just uttered, in the deepest part of his brain, reverberated over and over again, causing continuous echoes.

He is the head coach of this new world military mission.

But he gave them a "freedom of action" order, allowing them all to adjust their course and return to the headquarters.

The Momonga who graduated from the officer training camp are very clear,

Once the head coach issues an order like this,

Even if all his subordinates choose to retreat on their own, they do not need to admit any military responsibility, and they will not be punished by the military for this.

Yes, they can go.

But each of them was unable to lift even a single toe.

This is a step back,

As if crossing mountains and seas,

Incredibly heavy.

they can retreat,

But can they really go?

Looking at the black figure that had already flown far away,

Watching him charge relentlessly in the sky of artillery fire,

The ghost spider and their bodies could not help but tremble.

The rain clouded their vision,

Let them gradually recall the scene of that day in their minds.

It was a scene they could never forget in their lifetime.

The navy hero who bravely killed the big pirate golden lion,

The man who achieved supreme glory and splendor in the eyes of all,

What was told at the commendation meeting was a story that seemed to have nothing to do with it.

"Lord Adam Rice, you are the hero of the navy, leading my son to defeat the evil pirates..."

"¨"I don't have any requirements..."

"...I just want to know that my son, he...was not brave when he fought."

The young navy who died in the Battle of Edd war was very brave.

Facing the flying pirates far beyond their abilities,

He fought to the last breath.

And now,

This picture in front of me,

The navy hero who faced such a behemoth as the BIG·MOM pirates,

Equally brave.

A group of navy stiffened their bodies,

In the public live broadcast of that day, Adam Rice's roaring words reverberated in front of their eyes again.

"Are you angry?

Is this your reaction?

such a belief,

such emotions,

Not to mention going to a new world,

Even the pirates of this Grandline can't be defeated!

You bastards! ! "

yes,

We're a bunch of hopelessly squishy bastards.

Obviously have worked hard.

they had already made up their mind to come to the new world to fight against the real evil, to open up territory for the forces of justice...

But here is the key to the door,

We all hold back...

Momonga clenched its teeth suddenly, and clenched its teeth.

"Are we really a bunch of scumbags?"

he hissed.
