Chapter 19: Navy Forces, Attack!

As the crew approached the formidable Navy Front, the stronghold of the naval forces sworn to eradicate piracy, a palpable tension filled the air. The towering Giants, unable to breach the fortified walls of the base, were left behind, their massive forms silhouetted against the horizon as the crew pressed on without them. The atmosphere was thick with urgency as negotiations commenced with the Navy Admirals and their commanders, each word weighed down by the gravity of the situation.

Recently returned from the tumultuous Roguetown, the Navy was still reeling from the aftermath of the 'War of the Century.' This cataclysmic conflict had drawn in the likes of seven notorious Warlords, four fearsome Shiganshizos, and a host of other nefarious pirate crews, all vying for dominance. Among the chaos, the slave Giants, the offspring of the formidable Big Bertha, and the likes of Kunis Dante, Gelid, and General Raijin had found themselves embroiled in the fray.

The winds of fate blew harshly against the good side, leaving them battered and bruised. Tragedy struck when Gelid, caught in the merciless grip of Amadeus, succumbed to a fiery demise, his form melting away in a heart-wrenching spectacle. With heavy hearts, the remaining forces of the good side made the difficult decision to retreat, tracing their steps back to the safety of their origins.

In the aftermath, Big Bertha and her children took it upon themselves to care for the abandoned Giants, nurturing them with a fierce protectiveness. Meanwhile, Leo's group found refuge in the bustling Anaconda Streetyard, seeking solace amidst the chaos that had unfolded. The echoes of battle lingered in the air, a reminder of the tumultuous events that had transpired, as the world around them began to shift once more.
