The Long Roundabout in Panic

Under the surface of the sea near the Long Ring Long Land, the steel-cast beast was sleeping quietly, and occasional sea kings were passing by chasing the beast, but they were soon frightened away by the terrifying aura emanating from the steel beast.

This beast is a giant submarine with a body length of more than 300 meters, and around this, there are the remaining nine submarines with smaller body sizes.

"As expected of the submarine made by Dr. Vegapunk, it actually simulated the biological fluctuations of the super giant sea king class." Longinus praised.

"Dr. Vegapunk is indeed very amazing." A man with white hair said with a serious expression, "But if you hadn't captured a super giant sea king class, even if Dr. Vegapunk was powerful, he couldn't have developed it successfully without a model."

The surrounding marines are also looking at Longinus with adoring eyes. They naturally remember when Admiral Hitsujiza two years ago caught back a supergiant sea king class in the size of more than three thousand meters, caused how big a shock in the Marine Headquarters.

"If you were usually so good at talking, you wouldn't still be a Rear Admiral after ten years." Longinus said with a few tears and laughter.

Naturally, standing in front of him is the Rear Admiral Smoker, who is "notorious" in the Marine Headquarters.

Such seniority as Law is younger than Smoker. His background is worse than Smoker, or intermediate into the network of people who have let him train to become a vice admiral. Smoker is still hovering between the Commodore and Rear Admiral; there is always the risk of demotion.

"As long as you can catch pirates, in my opinion, what position makes no difference."

"You ah, forget ..." Longinus shook his head and asked, "the Long Ring Long Land side, how is the situation?"

"In half an hour, it will be time for the competition to begin, and at this point in time, there should be no more pirates in the net." Smoker asked, "Senpai, do we launch a surprise attack while these pirates are having a race, or do we start the capture operation right before the race."

"Let's do it now, if we wait until they start rowing around the island and then capture them, there may be a lot of pirates who will take advantage of the chaos to escape." Longinus said with his arms around him.

"Yes!"

...

A massive crowd of people on the Long Round Long Land and an endless number of pirates gathered here.

"Wow! Is everyone a pirate?" Luffy stretched his neck to look around, excitedly shouted, "Here is really too lively, so that my blood is beginning to boil!"

"It is indeed rare." Robin nodded, "In addition to the second half of the Grand Line outside, those big sea pirates held a Pirates Festival, it is rare to see this kind of event between pirates."

"Pirate Festival?" Listen to a new term Luffy curiously asked.

"That is only both strength, power and prestige of the sea pirates to hold the event, on the Grand Line, a little reputation of the sea pirates will gather there, the sum of the bounty can easily exceed 10 billion, is the dark rites belonging to the pirates."

"More than ten billion bounty, it's really cool!" Luffy's eyes turned into the shape of stars again.

"The event between the strongest?" Zoro's eyes also lit up.

Just then, the center of the crowd rose a wooden platform.

Foxy stood on the wooden platform, looking at the crowd below, enthusiastically shouted, "Everyone, welcome to this Davy Back Fight Competition, now, by me Captain Foxy to introduce the rules of this competition ..."

"Butt-head, cut the crap, are there any pirates who will not know the rules of the pirate game?"

"That's right, instead of talking about such useless things, why don't ... show us the bracelet you got from Captain John!"

"That's right, that's right, if you are lying to us, I guarantee that I will beat your ass head into a real ass!"

"Captain, this atmosphere seems a little off!" Looking at these laughing pirates, Miss Porche said in a trembling voice.

"Captain, Captain?" After asking for a while, Porche realized, this series of "butt-heads" had struck her weak-minded captain to the point of self-imposed isolation.

"Hahahahaha ...!" Seeing Foxy's cowardly appearance, the pirates on stage laughed uncontrollably, and then, they were blown away by the shells coming from the distant sea.

"Enemy attack, it's the Marine fleet!"

"Run, the Marine Corps is coming!"

A part of the pirates' instinctive reaction to flee, however, a part of the pirates shouted, "Stupid, we pirates have the numbers from the major seas here is nearly ten thousand. These marines are only ten 'warships', from the point of view of battle power, we have the advantage! "

"That's right, finish these marines!"

"Kill them, this time it's our turn to hunt!"

Being so excited, most of the pirates raised their machetes or muskets with fervor.

"Captain, what are we going to do?" The pirates under Hawkins asked.

"Don't be influenced by these fools, we have nothing to gain by fighting the marines." Hawkins said blandly, "Later, we will take advantage of the chaos to grab Captain John's bracelet, and then we can leave."

The other side of the Straw Hat Pirates is an entirely different picture.

"Going to fight the Marine? I can't wait." Luffy said with a fist pump.

"A marine on the Grand Line? This is really a first!" Solon also pulled out all three swords at his waist.

"Where is the promised time to see the right time to escape?" Nami mentally broken, looking at Robin for help, "Robin, you say we ... Robin? What's wrong with you?"

Only to see Robin face gloomy said, "That is the highest level of the Marine Headquarters submarine, it is possible to call this kind of specifications of the ship, presiding over the battle is only afraid that the high level of the Marine Headquarters figures."

At this time, the submarines that kept approaching also started the landing operation.

A large group of marines in the neat formation and with renewed spirit soon jumped off the submarine.

Along with the sound of killing, the pirates and marines are fighting together.

These marines are drawn from the elite headquarters, even those who led the battle are not lacking, such as high level of combat power Smoker, and the pirates did not show much weakness. In the first half of the Grand Line on the bounty of more than 50 million pirates, the captain here is a whole gathering of more than 40.

For a while, it evenly matched the two sides.

"Aha, the marines on the Grand Line are also just this level?"

"Capture these marines and send them to the slave yard for auction!"

In these pirates shouting wildly, a violent and domineering aura suddenly descended, a group of pirates seems to be pressed like a boulder on the body, heavy, so that they can not breathe.

In a flash, they were suppressed by the marine attack.

"Damn, what is this? The Marine's secret weapon?"

"Damn it, these marines are completely unaffected!"

This kind of aura is naturally Longinus' Haoshoku Haki; for the sake of practice, he can only restrain the pressure to the point of not letting these pirates directly faint; for him, it is a considerable challenge.

"This sense of oppression, is it the legendary Haoshoku Haki?" Although Haoshoku Haki is very rare in the first half of the Grand Line, some so many pirates always have a few who have seen a lot.

"Robin, what is the Haoshoku Haki they say? This feeling, it is too unbearable!" Luffy twisted his body to look at Robin but found that Robin was a bit lost in thought again, "Robin? Robin? What's wrong with you?"

Back to the mind of Robin, the corners of the mouth pulled out a bitter smile, "This time is really trouble, I did not expect, the first half of the battle of the Grand Line surprisingly involved the Admiral!"

"Hai, the Admiral!" The timid trio cried out in horror.

As Marine's standard-bearer, when Longinus appeared on the battlefield, naturally, it was not only Robin who recognized him.

"Are you kidding? The Admiral of the Marine can appear here?"

"And the strongest admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Hitsujiza Longinus!"

"There is no way to win, run!"

If the previous Haoshoku Haki suppression still only let the pirate's side into the disadvantage, then Longinus's appearance is wholly disintegrated these pirates' battle intention.

In addition to a few self-confident pirates, the rest of the pirates are fleeing like crazy towards the coast.

For a while, the Long Ring Long Land became a mess.

PS: I'm so embarrassed (… ́︿ • ̀.)! Sure enough, as soon as I came back, They told me to go on a blind date!
