Eight Hundred Pirate Kings

The marine had already set up a heavy force on the town. One of the Admirals and two Lieutenants of the Marine Headquarters were already waiting for the arrival of Wexford and the others on the pier.

From the Marine Headquarters Marineford, Admiral Kuzan was sitting on top of a barrel on the dock. His right hand was propped up on his head, seemingly without much spirit.

The Admiral glanced sideways at the direction of the sea before saying to the Captain Smoker of the Loguetown branch beside him, “Well, will those pirates arrive today?”

“According to the speed of their ships, it should be in the next two days.” Smoker actually was not too sure. After all, Wexford Pirate group’s route was also passed on by the marine branch near Cocoyasi Village.

Although the marine could tell the opponent’s speed, they probably deduced the time of Wexford and others to Loguetown. However, Wexford and others might be on their way to provoke some pirates, so the specific time of the opponent’s arrival was actually uncertain.

For the speed of Wexford and others, Momonga didn’t seem too satisfied. He said to Kuzan after Smoker finished, “Admiral Kuzan, the Headquarters said we should wait for Garp to come and then fight. If the other side arrived early….”

However, Wexford seemed to give face to the East Blue marine. Just when Momonga opened his mouth, a ship’s mast suddenly appeared on the sea. There was a pirate flag at the top of the mast that people had seen several times – a skull with red eyes.

This pirate flag was only started after the arrival of Doflamingo. The manufacture was also done by this king of the underworld alone.

“IT’S THAT WEXFORD PIRATE SHIP!”

The marine standing high up also saw the pirate ship of Wexford and others through the binoculars and quickly shouted loudly to Kuzan and others below.

“Finally.” Kuzan seemed to have some impatience. He didn’t seem to like staying in this Loguetown.

Since now Wexford and others had come, Kuzan was also ready to complete the mission and return directly to Marineford.

Although the Marine Headquarters’s intelligence had thought that the opponent had the same strength as Vice-Admiral Garp’s and similar ability to the Seven Warlords of the Sea Doflamingo. However, to make sure that the information was not too much to handle, it was necessary to consider the fact that the information was sent back from Garp. That was why Kuzan was sent to Loguetown in East Blue.

“Smoker, have you evacuated the people of Loguetown?”

Perhaps already foresee the battle that would happen afterward, Kuzan specially instructed Smoke to transfer the residents near the pier.

As the Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, his ordered, of course, had to be done, so Smoker had long been transferred to the nearby personnel, “I have been transferred them away. This time you can fight a good fight.”

After Smoker came to the East Blue, he rarely met pirates who could fight. Since the other side was said to be very powerful, it was just the right time to warm up his hands.

………..

Just when the marine of Loguetown waited for the time, in the Buggy Pirate ship, Garp and others also found a large number of marine forces on the pier.

“There are a lot of marine forces. It seems that the Marineford has been preparing for some time.” As a pirate who ruled half of the New World, Garp, of course, often dealt with the marine. These marines liked to overwhelm their opponents with numbers.

Different from Garp’s casual, Buggy’s whole body was trembling after seeing that large group of marines, “How can there be so many marines? If they directly open fire, we will not….”

Buggy’s words have not finished when Doflamingo’s hand directly on his head, “More people to play. Be quiet, red nose kid.”

“I’m not!” Buggy was about to refute what Doflamingo called him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he met up with Doflamingo’s sinister eyes. This Doflamingo was wearing a pair of black glasses, but Buggy could tell that the other party’s eyes were definitely not friendly.

‘Forget it, I won’t bother with him.’

After inwardly spitting out a sentence, Buggy directly shut up and turned around in a single breath towards Shanks side.

When Buggy gave up the head-on confrontation, the pirate ship was close to the dock of Loguetown, and the marine side had also pointed the guns at the pirate ship, ready to open fire.

“RELEASE!”

Momonga was in charge of the artillery firing order. When Wexford’s pirate ship entered the range, he gave an order. Several marine ships near the pier opened fire in unison, and dozens of shells were instantly poured towards the single pirate ship at the order of Momonga.

BOOM! BOOM!

“What to do! There are so many shells!” Back toward the direction of the dock, Buggy heard the sound of the shells in the sky. His ship could not withstand so much gunfire.

Already crouched, waiting for the shells to fall on the ship, Buggy suddenly looked up. He found that the expected sound of the ship being bombarded did not appear; instead, the surrounding area was unusually quiet.

“What’s going on?”

“Get up, Buggy, Mr. Doflamingo has blocked the shells.”

Although the teenage Shanks was much younger than Buggy, his courage was more than Buggy most of the time. He watched the shells fall head-on just in time to see Doflamingo use the Ito Ito no Mi to stop all the shells.

“What?” Buggy sniffed and looked.

The shells that were expected to fall back to the ship turned directly into debris in the air and were blown by the sea breeze, and dissipated on the battlefield.

Buggy was shocked by the scene in front of him. The marine side also froze that this round of flak was actually easily solved by the opponent.

……..

As the main commander of this battle, Kuzan had expected this. Since the opponent’s strength was said to be godlike, they must still have some ability. If the shelling was solved, he did not have to travel a long way to the East Blue.

“Vice Admiral Garp has not yet arrived, it seems that we can only deal with this group of pirates ourselves.” Kuzan said while putting his coat draped over the barrel. He walked towards the direction of the pirate ship with only a light suit.

At the time when Kuzan walked towards the pirate ship of Wexford and others, Momonga and Onigumo standing behind him also swish and draw their long swords, ready to start the battle soon.

The Devil Fruit ability displayed just now had made these high-end marine forces realize the power of these pirates. This battle would definitely be a tough one. Although the battle may be difficult, they still firmly believe that the marine would win the final victory in the presence of Admiral Kuzan.

Slowly walked to the edge of the pier, Kuzan looked at the pirate ship that was approaching the pier, raised his right arm, and softly read, “ICE BLOCK: PARTISAN.”
