Redfield heavily swung his bat-shaped umbrella, and immediately, blood-red flame-like sword energies erupted from it.
Grimm smiled. It seemed he had truly angered him. Grimm raised his giant sword, and two flashes of light once again intertwined amidst the sea of fire.
...
Even the fastest warship would take over two hours to travel from Marine Headquarters to Sabaody Archipelago, unless one possessed flight abilities like Borsalino and could fly incredibly fast.
However, strictly speaking, Borsalino's ability wasn't true flight; he could only use objects in the air to assist him in achieving flight, such as birds or rocks on the sea surface.
Currently, there were a total of fifteen warships from Headquarters heading to Sabaody Archipelago for support! This was almost half of Marine Headquarters' entire current combat strength!
Standing at the bow of the ship, like Garp and Sengoku, wearing a black suit underneath a Navy admiral's robe, was Fleet Admiral Kong!
Originally, Kong didn't want to come. However, the Navy knew internally that they had no other combat power left to deal with these two monsters.
Marine Hero Garp was going to all the places Roger had visited in the interval after disbanding his pirate crew, searching for the Pirate King's orphan.
Sengoku was leading the Navy's rising stars to the New World to quell the uncontrollable pirate riots, while other Navy elites were also heading to various parts of the Grand Line to capture pirates.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the New World.
Grimm's three subordinates had become completely famous.
Just ten days ago, Sakazuki and Kuzan led an army to attack Sanctuary. As a result, Gianna went berserk, freezing one-fifth of the New World's sea. Sakazuki was defeated, had a leg broken, and Kuzan had to interrupt his fight with Plank and flee shamefully with the "Red Dog."
As for Yasuo, he was still lost at sea, but he had already destroyed no less than ten pirate crews, becoming another nightmare for pirates in the New World.
The Navy was in a difficult situation!
There were too few top-tier combatants. The Navy was already in a period of decline, a problem that could not be ignored.
The Navy's shortage of personnel, evident from Kong's personal involvement, was truly a joke.
But this was the reality. According to Headquarters regulations, there should have been three Admirals, but now there was only Sengoku.
That bastard Garp repeatedly refused promotion. Before the Great Pirate Era, they could still manage, but after only one year into the Great Pirate Era, pirates were increasing at an alarming rate.
The Navy had never felt understaffed before, but now they truly understood what it meant to be a skilled cook unable to prepare a meal without ingredients!
Of course, those guys in the New World were too fierce. They couldn't be dealt with by combat power below Vice Admiral. When would the three candidates for Admiral finally grow up?
Thinking of this, Kong felt a headache coming on. It would be better to find an opportunity to pass the burden of Fleet Admiral to Sengoku and go to the Red Line Continent to be the Commander-in-Chief. Wouldn't that be more comfortable?
Of course, after he became the Commander-in-Chief, he realized it was actually worse than being the Fleet Admiral. The Revolutionary Army and the like were more disgusting than pirates because they had brains…
Finally, there was Zephyr… Forget it, let's not mention him. He was a tragedy… a complete tragedy!
"We must increase the number of Navy personnel and strengthen our control over the sea!"
Kong thought to himself while standing at the bow of the ship. Not only did they need to increase the usable number of Navy personnel, but they also needed to find ways to strengthen the global capture of pirates.
However, for now, they had to deal with those two bastards, Grimm and Redfield. The Celestial Dragons cared a great deal about this backyard!
"Fleet Admiral, we are expected to reach Sabaody Archipelago in ten minutes!" a Rear Admiral approached Kong, saluted, and reported.
"Hmmm!" Kong nodded. "All hands, enter combat readiness!"
"Yes!"
Looking at the island with countless bubbles floating on it, which had come into view, Kong silently thought, "Grimm… and Old Redfield… they are old rivals!"
If we were to talk about the battles between those at the pinnacle of piracy and the Navy, Garp fought Roger the most, Sengoku liked to spar with Whitebeard, and Zephyr once enjoyed fighting the Shiki. Then, Kong's favorite opponent was Redfield.
In his youth, when Kong was still an Admiral, he and Redfield would engage in close-quarters combat frequently, enjoying themselves thoroughly. Moreover, Redfield had even defeated Kong.
Kong was slightly older than Garp and Sengoku. Coincidentally, Redfield was in a similar situation; he was also slightly older than Roger and the Shiki. To put it simply, there was a generational gap among these pirates.
Since becoming Fleet Admiral, Kong had rarely taken action himself. His past with Redfield had temporarily come to an end.
This time, it was a reunion after more than a decade!
"Speaking of which, Grimm is a more serious threat than Redfield. His subordinates are all strong, they spread heretical teachings everywhere, and they're constantly running around restlessly. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in Sanctuary and be your Pope…" Kong felt a headache coming on. Why the hell did he become a Navy officer…
Recalling that Grimm's subordinates had injured Sakazuki a few days ago, Kong gnashed his teeth in anger. Fortunately, Akainu's broken leg was brought back by Major General Highmore of the "Scarlet Crusaders."
Thinking of the "Scarlet Crusaders," Kong finally felt a bit happier. With this unit, at least the Navy's casualties had been reduced by a bit!
Finally, Kong, along with ten large warships, landed in Sector 22 of Sabaody Archipelago!
"Fleet Admiral!"
As soon as Kong disembarked, the Marines stationed on Sabaody Archipelago saluted him.
Kong strode quickly towards the interior of the island and asked a Colonel of the Sabaody Archipelago Marines, "What's the situation?"
"Three hours ago, these two pirates were fighting in Sector 9. Now they're in Sector 15!" the Colonel replied quickly, not daring to delay.
"Baka! Baka!"
Kong, disregarding his status, cursed. "Seal all ports, keep the Celestial Dragons far away. Squads 1, 2, and 5 follow me. The rest will assist the Sabaody Branch and send all other pirates on the island to Impel Down!"
Sending too many would just be sending them to their deaths. Kong was very "frugal" when it came to personnel now!
"Yes!"
The various Marines received their orders and began to act.
...
Sabaody Archipelago, Sector 15, primarily engaged in the trade of mosaic games. Interestingly, not only women, men, and transsexuals, but also strange animals and… in short, whatever you wanted, you could choose.
For those with iron-clad kidneys, this was paradise.
However, after the battle between Grimm and Redfield, this place had turned into a living hell.
Although many people were cursing Grimm and Redfield to the high heavens in their hearts, in reality, all they could do was flee, flee, and get away from these scoundrels!
"Haa!"
"Haa!"
Grimm and Redfield let out a simultaneous roar. Golden light and red light clashed, shattering everything around them into pieces.
Close-quarters combat!
The two did not create distance. Their three weapons continuously collided, their eyes fixed solely on each other.
Puchi!
Once again, Grimm was shot in the head.
