The island in the South China Sea where the underground power of the Quixote family is located.
At this time, the navy of the Nanhai Branch had rushed to the island and surrounded the entire island with water.
"Report that we have the entire island surrounded."
At the edge of the island, a navy man wearing a major uniform ran over, looked at a tall man with a serious face and said.
The tall man's face was covered with ferocious sword wounds, and he was dressed like a vice admiral, making him look even more intimidating.
Novak is a lieutenant general who is in charge of the Nanhai Branch of the Navy. He is a swordsman. When he was young, he went to sea alone to practice swordsmanship and challenged various swordsmen.
At this time, Novak looked solemnly in the direction of the center of the island, obviously he was not sure about this mission.
"Well done. Our mission this time is very difficult. We must stop all pirates who want to leave the island."
"We must hold on until reinforcements from our headquarters arrive. I will never let these nasty pirates go."
"yes"
The surrounding sailors responded.
...
On a piece of sea more than ten kilometers away from the island.
"Dover, news has come from the auction that the Tutu Fruit has been auctioned off."
After listening to the voice on the other side of the conversation, Trebol looked like he was looking for a good show, then walked up to Doflamingo and said.
Brother Ming, who was sitting on the chair, heard that the fruit had been auctioned, his eyes flashed, and he slowly lowered his right hand that was supporting his head, and said with a sinister smile, "Since the fruit has been auctioned, let's go!"
"Who got this devil fruit?"
"It's Sakae, Kaido's subordinate."
Hearing that it was Kaido, Doflamingo had a strange look in his eyes, "Kaido, that's interesting. Kaido is a very important person in the new world, but natural fruits are not ordinary items. I am
I won’t give in.”
"Set off."
"Dover, it will not do us any good to face a powerful pirate like Kaido now."
Trebol looked at Brother Ming hesitantly and said.
"Trebil, when did you become so timid?"
A very high-pitched voice sounded behind Brother Ming, and Pika came out.
"Our Don Quixote family is not easy to mess with either."
Pika looked at Trebol with a hint of anger and said.
"Don't argue. Let's go back and take a look first. Whether Sakai can keep this Devil Fruit is still a question."
"After all, there are many pirates on the sea who are not afraid of death."
...
The auction venue in the center of the island.
"No, the entire island is surrounded by the navy."
Not long after the auction ended, a young pirate hurried into the venue and shouted.
"What, the navy is coming, let's go quickly."
"The navy has arrived so quickly? If I had known I wouldn't have come, I didn't expect to get caught in it just to take a look at the legendary natural fruit."
"Tch, what's there to be afraid of in the navy? More sailors die in my hands every day than the people you see every day."
"In Beihai, if you go out and ask around, the navy of the Beihai branch will take a detour when they see my pirate ship."
"real?"
A pirate next to him who knew the man who spoke looked at the two of them speechlessly.
"Don't listen to his bragging. Whenever I see the navy, his legs are so weak that he can't even walk. The navy will be afraid of him. Stop joking."
"Speaking of which, how could the navy arrive so quickly?"
"It's impossible for the Navy from the Navy Headquarters to rush over so quickly. I think the Navy here should be the Navy from the Nanhai Branch."
"The navy wants to use the Nanhai branch's troops to hold us back first, and then wait for support from the navy headquarters."
"The wishful thinking is good, but the navy underestimates us too much!"
Hearing the pirate mention the Nanhai Branch, another pirate seemed to have thought of something.
"The vice-admiral who guards the Nanhai Branch, I know, Novak, was transferred from the Navy Headquarters to the Nanhai Branch just five years ago."
"It is said that he hates pirates very much. He was a lieutenant general at the navy headquarters five years ago. Later, for unknown reasons, he was transferred to the Nanhai branch."
"When he was in the headquarters, he often went to the New World to catch pirates. He had killed many big pirates with a bounty of more than 200 million."
"It is rumored that he is only one step away from being a great swordsman."
"What, then we are in bad luck?"
"Tch, I don't believe how strong he is."
"I'm leaving. I don't want to wait until the navy from the Navy Headquarters arrive here before breaking out."
"go together."
At the edge of the island, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and every sailor's face was gloomy and terrifying, because they all knew the danger of this mission.
"Report, the pirates are ready to leave."
A sailor said tremblingly, with a fearful look on his face, and a slightly trembling tone.
"Okay, prepare to attack, and be sure to stop them."
Novak's face was serious, without any fear, and there was a fierce fighting spirit in his eyes. He couldn't wait to kill the pirates.
In addition to Novak, the Nanhai branch also has three navy officers of the rank of rear admiral.
This time, the military strength in the South China Sea is extremely unevenly distributed. The high-level combat strength includes one lieutenant general and three major generals. The middle-level combat strength has only more than 20 lieutenants. The rest are naval soldiers.
...
At this time, the naval warship Jiang Feng was on had entered the South China Sea through the windless zone.
"We finally arrived at the South China Sea, I think we will arrive soon!"
Jiang Feng looked in the direction of the South China Sea and murmured in boredom.
"Boy Feng, we're almost there, cheer up, I don't have time to take care of you on the battlefield."
When Garp saw Jiang Feng leaning lazily on the railing of the navy warship, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle Garp, you are here."
After listening to Garp's words, Jiang Feng quickly cheered up.
"Uncle Karp, is there no problem with the Nanhai branch?"
Jiang Feng asked worriedly.
"Don't worry! That guy won't let any pirate go."
Garp said with a relaxed expression.
Seeing Garp's expression, Jiang Feng became even more curious, "Uncle Garp, who are you talking about?"
"Of course it's Lieutenant General Novak of the Nanhai Branch. This guy hates pirates very much."
"Novank lost his parents when he was young. His parents were killed by pirates, so he hates pirates very much."
"He loves swordsmanship. In order to become a great swordsman, he went to sea to practice alone when he was young."
"Every time he challenged the swordsman, he was determined to die. After every defeat, he would cut a sword wound on his face to motivate himself."
Having said this, a hint of admiration flashed in Garp's eyes.
"When he first joined the navy, Sengoku and I saw him for the first time. His face was already covered with sword marks."
"He was only in his twenties at that time."
After listening to Garp's introduction to Novak, Jiang Feng's eyes flashed with admiration, "Those who are cruel to themselves are the real cruel people."
