Chapter 388 Attack from both sides
Chapter 388 Attack from both sides
Princess Otohime left Wano Country.
She had stayed here long enough, a full eight and a half months.
Neptune was able to keep his composure at first, but later, the calls came one after another, and he wished he could swim across the sea in person to see his beloved daughter.
Therefore, Princess Otohime decided to end her one-year visit to Wano Country and return to her homeland.
The trip was escorted by Proficient, and the envoys of Wano Country stationed at Fishman Island also traveled by ship. For safety reasons, the ship that Princess Otohime and Princess Shirahoshi took was a snail ship rented by Proficient from the Germa Kingdom.
This time when he left Wano Country, Profick was very relieved that Yixiao was in charge and Ginny brought several civilian staff of the Revolutionary Army as advisors. Therefore, all the members went out after a long absence, Profick, Matifa, Gao Shifu, Star, Morana, Danjuma, Li Tong, and Lelefu acted together.
Vinsmoke Judge also left almost at the same time as Princess Otohime. This ambitious King of Germa, who wanted to fulfill his long-cherished wish of reviving the country and unifying the North Sea, was ultimately unwilling to stay in the New World for too long.
However, Sora stayed in Wano Country, and Sanji stayed with her. Young Sanji was worried about his mother's health and hoped to be with her.
Iji, Niji and Yongji mocked this weak brother.
But surprisingly, Judge didn't say much about the choice of this "useless" son. In the past few months, Judge has a new understanding of "emotion". At least from Whitebeard's deeds, Judge clearly realized that being strong and having rich emotions are not necessarily contradictory.
Originally, Princess Otohime wanted to invite Judge to visit Fishman Island, but was rejected by Judge on the grounds that "snail boats cannot be coated."
Germa's snail fleet slowly sailed towards the North Sea, while the Biful and Princess Otohime were aboard.
At this time, the New World's waters have gradually calmed down, forming a strange "3+2" pattern. The former "silver medal players" of the old era, the great pirates "John", "Zorn", and "Silver Axe" were successively killed in person by the rising new navy vice admiral "Akainu" Sakaski.
The legendary pirate Golden Lion disappeared without a trace after giving people a "glimpse" a few years ago.
In addition to the "Three Emperors of the New World" - Whitebeard, Big Mom and the "Five Peaks Captain" - there are two new forces that have "persisted" in the great waves. They are the "Red Hair" Pirates, known as the "Iron Wall Pirates", and the "Sisterhood" led by Feng Ziyu.
This time when he returned to Fishman Island, Proficient chose to pass through the territories of "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate and "Soul-Destroying Sword" Feng Ziyu.
Of these two, one has a good relationship with Fishman Island, and the other is friends with Profik, so it is unlikely that they will be troubled.
But the accidents that are supposed to happen will still happen.
"Brother!" Mattifa reported the situation loudly, "We found a ship following us at 25 degrees."
Not long after they left Wano Country, they were targeted.
"Look at the flag. It's the new force that has recently entered the New World, Basque Jot, known as the 'Big Barrel'. The bounty is 230 million berries. He's a formidable guy." Morana flipped through a stack of bounties and searched for a while. "Should we choose 'attack'?"
"Speed up, sail forward, and keep a distance from the opponent."
If it weren't for Princess Otohime and Shirahoshi, Profek wouldn't mind a fight with this great pirate. But now, he didn't even know whether the other party's target was him, a Shichibukai, or the royal family of Fishman Island. It was too risky to make a hasty contact.
No... The snail ship did not fly the flag of the Kingdom of Ryugu, and Jot could not have known that Princess Otohime and Princess Shirahoshi were on that ship. Compared with the Kingdom of Ryugu, Germa was more likely to be the target.
"Can we get rid of them?" Profik felt a little worried. The ship behind them was moving slowly and just hanging behind them.
This completely unhurried attitude reminded him of the strategy often used by some carnivorous animals that hunt in groups, where some members of the group drive the "prey" into the encirclement and then hunt it.
"There's no way. The Biful can still speed up, but the snail boat is not suitable for going faster." Gao Shifu said.
This snail ship has the strongest defense among the Germa fleet, and it has been specially reinforced to ensure its safety.
However, this approach reduced the speed of the ship, so that even at the highest speed, it could only barely keep up with the Biful.
……
On the pirate ship at the back.
Wearing a clown hat, a striped shirt and a black jacket, Basque Chote, known as the "Big Barrel", was leaning against the bow of the boat, holding a huge wooden barrel and pouring wine into his mouth frantically.
Due to the intake of alcohol, his skin all over turned red, and his rosacea was extremely conspicuous.
For ordinary people, drinking alcohol will undoubtedly seriously damage their health. But Basque Jot is a superhuman "Wine-Wine Fruit" ability user, and for him, drinking alcohol is even more suitable than drinking water.
Therefore, despite years of alcoholism, Basque Choate still maintained an extremely fit and strong physique.
"Captain, do we really want to confront the 'tax resisters' head-on?"
Joet took a big sip of wine: "Why, are you scared?"
"No..." the pirate immediately defended, "It's just that the other party is a ruthless person who conquered 'Wano Country'. Just based on our words..."
"Don't be afraid!" Joet threw the wooden barrel onto the deck, and the sake rippled and made a clanging sound.
He stood up unsteadily and said loudly:
"It's just a 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'. Soon, that country will be ours!"
"Hey, Jot, what's the situation with that big ship?" A sinister and dangerous female voice suddenly came from the Den Den Mushi placed next to Jot, "I can't wait any longer!"
Joet took another sip of his drink and replied, "Do it!"
……
On the Biful, Matifah, who had been paying attention to the distance of the ship behind, reported loudly again:
"Brother, there is a ship in front of the left. Judging from the flag, it is the 'Xuan Yue Hunter' Katharina Depen with a bounty of 170 million!"
As expected, a pirate ship flying a crescent flag was approaching the Bifull from the left. The female pirate Katharina Depen, dressed in glamorous clothes, with a hot body but a very ferocious face, stood at the bow of the ship, holding two guns tightly, looking at the Bifull with greed in her eyes.
"The other party is approaching quickly!"
"We are being attacked from both sides!"
