Just as Fang Yi discovered the Silver Axe and planned to rejoin the main group of pirates, he noticed something in a corner.
"Is this... a mark left by Shanks?" After a careful inspection, Fang Yi immediately recognized it as the secret signal set by their three - man group.
So Fang Yi followed the signal all the way and found a cave in the mountain. Inside, he found Shanks and a large group of Celestial Dragons with bubble rings on.
"Damn brat... Do you know who we are? How dare you stop us? I'll call the Navy and have you torn to pieces!" As soon as Fang Yi entered the cave, he heard a Celestial Dragon shouting at Shanks.
"I don't know who you are, and I don't want to know. But... you'd better know what this is!"
"Brother Yi!"
Fang Yi, with a long sword in hand and a longbow on his back, appeared, which immediately delighted Shanks.
Although they had been hiding here and were unaware of the outside situation, Shanks knew that if they were discovered by the enemy, things would be really bad. Moreover, these Celestial Dragons were no pushovers, so he didn't dare to go outside to investigate.
"So another brat shows up!" Seeing that it was just a young kid like Fang Yi, the Celestial Dragons, who had just let out a quiet sigh of relief, started shouting again.
But Fang Yi wouldn't tolerate them. He thrust out his long sword and placed it under the neck of the Celestial Dragon who had just spoken. Then he said to Shanks, "What's there to talk to these trash about? If they don't listen, just chop them! There are so many of them anyway. It doesn't matter if one or two die. Just blame it on the Rocks Pirates and say they ran into enemies while on the run!"
Fang Yi's words instantly shut up those noisy Celestial Dragons.
Only then did Fang Yi and Shanks have time to exchange information.
"I see! You did the right thing. If these Celestial Dragons fall into the hands of the Rocks Pirates, then the captain and that bastard Garp will be in a very passive position!" After hearing Shanks' story, Fang Yi nodded and praised.
It turned out that after Shanks saved these Celestial Dragons, he didn't dare to appear in the city area. So he led them to escape from the back mountain, only to run into the Silver Axe on the way.
Fortunately, they found this natural cave, so they simply hid here. After all, they had no idea what was going on outside.
Originally, Shanks wanted to go out to investigate the situation, but these Celestial Dragons also insisted on going. If it weren't for a few more rational Celestial Dragons, Shanks really wouldn't have been able to persuade them.
"So, should we go out now?" Shanks asked excitedly upon learning that they had the upper hand outside.
He was really fed up with these guys. If he weren't restricted from acting recklessly, he would've left them here for sure.
"Not yet!" Fang Yi shook his head and said, "On my way here, I saw the Silver Axe right in front of the palace. Chances are he doesn't know the Celestial Dragons have been rescued. He probably thinks Rocks hid them, so he's just sitting there, watching the show. If we go out, we'll be completely exposed!"
"What should we do then?" Shanks frowned and asked.
"You keep an eye on them here. I'll go out to call for reinforcements! Don't be too nice to them. They're your prisoners! If you're too soft on them, they'll walk all over you! We're pirates, not marines or members of the World Government. We don't have to worry about their retaliation later. Use some tricks, and they'll surely toe the line!" Fang Yi said with a smile.
After what had just happened, Shanks already knew what to do. So he nodded and watched Fang Yi leave.
After leaving the cave, Fang Yi bypassed the Celestial Dragons' palace, trying to find Rayleigh and the others. But now, except for Roger's location, there were no signs of fighting anywhere else. So Fang Yi couldn't quickly find Rayleigh and the others. He gritted his teeth and headed towards the center of the commotion.
"I can't get any closer!" Looking at the three people fighting not far away, Fang Yi found a large rock to hide behind. Then he took out his bow and started aiming at Rocks.
Power - Charged Arrow: Hit! When he released the bowstring, Fang Yi silently hoped that the skill would activate in his heart.
"Whoosh~~!"
An extremely fast arrow shot straight towards Rocks.
Meanwhile, Rayleigh and the others, who were looking for Fang Yi and the other two, naturally noticed Fang Yi's action.
At this time, the three people in the fight all noticed the incoming arrow.
Although they didn't know who was launching the sneak attack, Garp subconsciously stopped his movement.
Like Garp, Roger on the side also didn't take advantage of the situation. Instead, he stopped and stood aside. Moreover, he had already recognized who had shot the arrow.
Only Rocks looked extremely angry because the arrow was aimed at him!
"Look out for the arrow!" Seemingly guessing that Roger and the others would react like this, Fang Yi jumped out after shooting the arrow and shouted loudly at Rocks.
In this way, it could be regarded as a fair attack rather than a sneak attack.
"Humph! So it's just a kid!" Rocks casually deflected Fang Yi's arrow.
This arrow failed to activate any skills.
"Fang Yi, what are you doing here? It's dangerous. You should leave quickly!" Roger took a small step and blocked between Rocks and Fang Yi.
"Wowahaha... Roger, is he from your ship? What a gutsy kid!" Fang Yi's shout of "Look out for the arrow" made Garp develop quite a liking for Fang Yi.
"Captain! I'm here to tell you that Charlotte Linlin looted the Celestial Dragons' palace and fled with a large amount of treasure. Moreover, she also let the Celestial Dragons go! Now the Celestial Dragons have been found by Mr. Rayleigh and the others and transferred to a safe place!" Fang Yi shouted loudly towards Roger.
As soon as Fang Yi said this, the expressions of the three people on the battlefield changed simultaneously.
Roger and Garp looked a bit happy, while Rocks' face turned even darker.
At this time, Rayleigh, who was the fastest, had already come to Fang Yi's side. He gave Fang Yi a light tap on the head and whispered, "Damn it, stop running your mouth. You can't just blabber about this kind of stuff!"
"
"Mr. Rayleigh, don't worry. The Celestial Dragons have already been guarded by Shanks!" Fang Yi whispered to Rayleigh.
"Really?" Rayleigh was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise.
"Of course. How could I lie to you about this? If I hadn't been unable to find you, I wouldn't have come here. It's so dangerous here! I'll take you to Shanks right away!" Fang Yi said with a proud smile.
"You little bastard! You also know it's dangerous here?" At this time, Yamon had also rushed over. Like Rayleigh, the first thing he did was to give Fang Yi a whack on the head, making Fang Yi's eyes water. It really hurt a lot.
While Yamon was scolding Fang Yi, Rayleigh gave Roger a look. Roger was looking over, and the look told him what Fang Yi had just said was true.
Although it was just Fang Yi's side of the story, Rayleigh still chose to believe him.
So, without any more concerns, Roger and Garp began to attack Rocks with all their might. And Rocks, who was eager to confirm the situation, also stopped holding back. In an instant, a great battle broke out, and the whole God Valley began to tremble, as if the island was about to be destroyed at any moment.
"This is... so terrifying! Are these still humans?" Feeling the aftershocks of the battle between the three, Fang Yi felt as if he was seeing the end of the world.
"You little bastard, hurry up and take me to Shanks. If something happens to the Celestial Dragons, it'll really be a huge problem!" Rayleigh couldn't help but knock Fang Yi on the head again and said.
"They're in the cave on that mountainside. Let's go there quickly! I hope the captain and the others don't collapse that mountain. That would be terrible!" Fang Yi shrank his head and replied with a smile, pointing at the mountainside behind the Celestial Dragons' palace.
"Let's go. We'll hand over the Celestial Dragons to the Navy first! Jabba, you take the others back to the ship. Take those pirates away too. It's too dangerous to stay here!" Rayleigh thought for a moment and then said.
"Okay!" Hearing this, Jabba directly led the other members of the Roger Pirates and left in the direction of the port. Fang Yi was among them.
Although Fang Yi was extremely reluctant, he had only earned three lottery tickets this time. There were clearly still opportunities left.
But Rayleigh, Jabba and the others didn't give him a chance to object and directly took him back to the ship.
When passing by the port, Fang Yi saw Rear-Admiral Zephyr guarding here, as well as Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Shiki the Golden Lion confronting him. So Fang Yi rolled his eyes and shouted at Rear-Admiral Zephyr: "Hey, Rear-Admiral Zephyr, don't worry. All the cadres of the Rocks Pirates have been defeated. Charlotte Linlin even attacked their captain, Rocks, and then was defeated and fled!"
Fang Yi's sudden shout stunned Zephyr, Newgate and Shiki.
Zephyr even looked at Jabba, as if he wanted to confirm the situation with him.
Although he knew Fang Yi was an intern on the Roger Pirates, the words of such a young boy naturally carried little credibility.
Jaba glared at Fang Yi and nodded towards Zefa. "He's telling the truth," he said. "Charlotte Linlin attacked Rocks for some unknown reason, but she was quickly defeated by him. I haven't seen her since then. However, this little guy seems to have seen her loot the treasures from the Celestial Dragons' palace and then leave with her men!"
Hearing Jaba's words, Whitebeard and Shiki glanced at each other. Since things had come to this point, they had to think about themselves.
"Before, Vice Admiral Garp said that these pirates were just being used by Rocks and they could be spared! If you don't believe me, ask those navy guys!" Fang Yi immediately jumped out again, pointed at the members of the pirate alliance behind him and some of the surviving navy soldiers, patted Zefa's arm like an old acquaintance, and said.
Seeing that the injured navy soldiers didn't say anything, Zefa wisely waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
Jaba grabbed the very smug Fang Yi and threw him directly to Pethem to keep an eye on, not letting him say another word.
Although he still hadn't "checked in" with Whitebeard and Shiki, after successfully "checking in" with Zefa, Fang Yi was satisfied and returned to the ship with his companions.
"You're finally back. Is the battle over?" When Jaba and the others returned to the ship, they found that Bucky, who they hadn't seen all this time, was actually on the ship.
"Bucky? Why are you on the ship? Weren't you supposed to go and find out about the cadres of the Rocks Pirates?" Fang Yi asked in surprise.
"Hehe... You don't know about this. When I came here, I saw Whitebeard and Zefa fighting. Then Shiki the Golden Lion also showed up, so I was blocked here by them. I just decided to come back to the ship. What if they tried to do something to our ship? I could stop them, right!" Bucky replied with a strange smile on his face.
Jaba and the others naturally didn't believe Bucky's nonsense. However, they never really expected much from the intern Bucky anyway, so they didn't pay much attention to the fact that he had returned to the ship early. But Fang Yi felt that something seemed off here.
