The appearance of Rocks brought the situation to another deadlock.
His words really interested some of the pirates. They had fought hard. It would really be a shame to retreat like this. With the help of the Rocks Pirates, they could surely gain more.
Fang Yi looked at those hesitant pirates and was really at a loss for words. Just now they needed their captain to plead for mercy, but now they seemed ready to fight back right away. No wonder people had a bad impression of pirates. Such fickle behavior was really unlikable.
"Lord Rocks, our agreement back then was that you would help us rescue the slaves in God Valley, and in return, we wouldn't take anything that didn't belong to us!" The leader of the Pirate Alliance shook his head and refused.
"Oh? But look at your subordinates. They seem quite interested!" Rocks smiled and said.
"Guys... don't forget our original purpose. Why did we form a pirate group in the first place? Are we really just ordinary pirates? Don't do something as disgraceful as the Celestial Dragons. Otherwise, won't we be just like them?" The leader of the Pirate Alliance shouted, and all the pirates fell silent. Those who had been wavering before all lowered their heads in shame.
In a nearby corner, Dragon, who was being treated, was stunned when he heard what the leader said. It was as if something inside him had broken through. He felt like he understood something.
"Really good leadership. But if you die... will your subordinates still think like this?" As Rocks finished speaking, he disappeared from where he stood.
"Watch out!"
"Pfft!"
Roger noticed something in advance, but still couldn't make it in time. The leader of the Pirate Alliance looked at his pierced heart, slowly raised his head, and stared at Rocks, asking, "Wh... why?"
"Because... what I want... is not just treasures! Ka ka ha ha ha..." Rocks laughed loudly.
"Damn it!"
"Clang!"
At this moment, Roger, who had just arrived, slashed at Rocks with his sword, but Rocks easily blocked it!
"You're the captain of the recently well - known Roger Pirates, Gol D. Roger, right? How about joining us?" Rocks seemed not to notice Roger's anger and asked with a smile.
"Who wants to join you? Go to hell!"
Roger directly attacked Rocks, but Rocks didn't seem to want to fight back and kept evading Roger's attacks.
"Mr. Rayleigh!" Fang Yi approached Rayleigh and gave him a look, asking if they should help Captain Roger.
But Rayleigh just shook his head and glanced at John and Wang Zhi beside him without saying a word.
Fang Yi understood that Rayleigh meant that as long as the others didn't interfere, they didn't need to either. They could just leave it all to Roger.
Just now when Rocks moved, Fang Yi couldn't even see clearly. Even with the Eagle Eye Skill, he still couldn't make out the opponent's movements. That means if the opponent attacks him, he'll probably be as helpless as the leader of the pirate alliance, unable to react at all.
Meanwhile, seeing their leader killed, those pirates immediately got angry and rushed towards the members of the Rocks Pirates.
"Bang!"
Seeing this, Rocks kicked Roger. Even though Roger blocked the kick with his arms, he was still sent flying by Rocks.
"All you pirates, listen up! Now I'm giving you one last chance. Join us... Otherwise... No mercy! Gahaha..." After kicking Roger away, Rocks didn't leave but stood there and shouted at the members of the pirate alliance.
However, those pirates ignored him and charged straight at him.
"Stubborn! Kill them!" A fierce light flashed in Rocks' eyes. He waved his hand and gave the order directly.
"Finally, we can fight? I've been bored waiting for ages!" John licked his lips and led his subordinates to charge at the members of the pirate alliance.
Their overall strength was stronger, so they were like wolves among sheep. Immediately, many pirates fell down.
"Stop them!" Before Roger could say a word, Rayleigh let out a loud shout. All the members of Roger's pirate crew immediately entered the battle state.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~" The moment Rayleigh spoke, Fang Yi tapped his foot on the ground. As his body quickly retreated, he also shot out three arrows.
"Pfft!"
It was a pity that although he targeted only small fries, only one of the three arrows hit the target. The other two were blocked by the opponents.
This is why he doesn't like using the Multi - Shot Technique, as it may target more people but significantly reduces the hit rate.
Moreover, although this attack targets three people, it only counts as one attack. That is to say, the system will only make one judgment, not three separate judgments.
"Shanks, stop Bucky from running around!" Fang Yi shouted at Shanks while taking the opportunity to attack the enemies.
That guy Bucky always gets over - excited once the battle starts. In a battle like this, even Fang Yi doesn't dare to step forward. If Bucky steps forward, he'd probably get his butt kicked by the members of the Rocks Pirates in no time.
If Bucky dies here, wouldn't he lose a lottery ticket every day from now on? The loss would be too great.
"Brother Yi, what should we do now?" Shanks grabbed Bucky's clothes and came to Fang Yi's side, asking.
"Follow me!" Fang Yi quickly scanned the battlefield and then came up with a good idea.
"You go and launch a surprise attack, provoke the opponents, and then lead them closer to the navy camp. I don't believe the navy will just sit back and watch! We'll drag the navy into this fight too!" Fang Yi told the two of them his plan while running.
"Haha... I like this plan! Those guys want to watch the show? Just watch me!"
As Buggy spoke, he took advantage of his childish agility and darted through the battlefield.
"Buggy... Wait up!" Seeing Buggy charging straight out, Shanks glanced at Fang Yi. After getting a nod from him, he immediately chased after Buggy.
"Phew~" Fang Yi took a deep breath as there were quite a few big shots here and he was thinking about how to maximize his own benefits.
It wasn't that he didn't care about the battle. According to the plot, in this battle, Garp and Roger would join forces to defeat the Rocks pirates.
Since the result would be favorable, he didn't need to worry too much.
"Whoosh~"
"Clang!"
Fang Yi shot an arrow at a small leader of the Rocks pirates, but the latter quickly dodged the sneak - attack.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~" But Fang Yi didn't give up. He kept changing directions while continuously shooting arrows at the small leader.
"Damn brat! Are you going to keep this up?" After the small leader was accidentally injured while dodging Fang Yi's arrows, he immediately abandoned his original opponent and charged towards Fang Yi.
This was why he targeted small leaders, as they were stronger and wouldn't be killed before Fang Yi could attract enough firepower, unlike those small fries.
Glancing at Garp not far away, Fang Yi let out a soft laugh and pretended to be in a panic as he ran towards that direction.
Indeed, his first target was Garp!
"Kid, still trying to run? Once I catch you, I'll kill you!" The small leader of the Rocks pirates didn't notice Fang Yi's escape route at all. At this moment, Fang Yi looked extremely panicked. An arrow he shot at the small leader missed.
"Bang!" Having calculated the last bit of distance, Fang Yi deliberately accelerated and rammed into Garp.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in Monkey D. Garp! You have obtained a roulette draw ticket!"
As soon as Fang Yi bumped into Garp, the system's prompt sounded.
"Perfect!"
Fang Yi mentally gave himself a perfect score for his actions. Then, after pretending to be stunned and looking at Garp, he did a quick roll on the ground to dodge the small leader's attack.
"Damn brat! Why don't you run anymore!" Sure enough, seeing Fang Yi fall, the small leader laughed triumphantly. However, he didn't notice at all that he had been completely surrounded by the navy.
After completing his task, Fang Yi didn't say a word. He got up and ran away at full speed. Anyway, he could see that the navy was about to take action, so his goal had been achieved.
After a while, with the efforts of Fang Yi, Shanks, and Buggy, the navy also joined the big melee.
The outnumbered Rocks pirates immediately found themselves in a rather passive position.
"Humph! Navy... You actually joined forces with pirates?" Even a powerful figure like Rocks was temporarily suppressed under the joint attacks of Garp and Roger.
"Humph! After we eliminate you, they'll end up the same as you!" Garp glanced at Roger and said rather unhappily.
"Hahaha... Garp, it's not that easy to catch me. But you're right. We have to get rid of them first!" Roger said with a big laugh.
"Damn it! Garp, I've got the Celestial Dragons in my hands. If you don't withdraw your troops right now, I'll have them all killed immediately!" Rocks said helplessly when he saw this.
"The Celestial Dragons? Go ahead and kill them! I've long been sick of them!" Garp didn't stop his attacks at all. It seemed that he really meant what he said.
But Roger noticed that Rocks seemed... helpless against Garp like this!
Then he instantly understood. Rocks' goal wasn't to kill the Celestial Dragons, nor was it to kidnap them. He was trying to hold the Celestial Dragons hostage to command others, doing what he wanted with them.
After figuring this out, Roger showed no mercy with his attacks.
As for whether Garp also guessed what Rocks was up to, Roger wasn't sure. But it seemed that the other guy really didn't care about the Celestial Dragons!
