Chapter 117
Sengoku and Zephyr's rationality ultimately triumphed over their desire for victory. They had no choice but to clash hard with their opponents once more before immediately flashing toward Steel Bone Kong.
Seeing the two successfully withdraw, Kong did not linger either and immediately flew toward his flagship.
On the heavily damaged Golden Ship, Ubel saw that Steel Bone Kong, who had just been launching fierce attacks against him, had directly retreated. This made him involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief.
If he had to fight to the death with Steel Bone Kong, he probably really wasn't the other party's match.
Just as Kong withdrew, the Golden Pirates' intelligence officer finally arrived late and reported to Ubel:
"Report, Captain!" "The Iron Wall Pirates' fleet has already entered our territory!"
Hearing the intelligence officer's words, Ubel felt somewhat mentally exhausted.
He finally understood why the Navy had retreated despite having the advantage.
"Go call Bario and Thornton here." "I have important matters to discuss with them."
After the intelligence officer left, soon the somewhat battered Bario and Thornton appeared beside Ubel.
Hearing that the Iron Wall Pirates were chasing after them, worry appeared in both of their eyes.
Seeing their expressions, Ubel also felt somewhat irritated.
One hour later, on an island within Golden Pirates territory, the Iron Wall Pirates and Golden Pirates officially met.
Blite stood at the bow of the Steel Fortress, looking at the Golden Pirates' heavily damaged fleet. A mocking expression appeared in his eyes.
"Hahahahaha!" "Isn't this the Golden King?" "How did you end up in such a miserable state!"
With a mocking laugh resounding across the sea, Ubel instantly exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Bastard! Blite!" "You also didn't manage to take down the Rocks Pirates, did you?" "What right do you have to talk about me?"
But Ubel quickly calmed down and retorted toward Blite.
The moment he heard "Rocks Pirates," Blite's face instantly darkened.
A powerful Conqueror's Haki instantly erupted from his body.
"Ubel! You're courting death!"
Blite roared and instantly jumped above one of the Golden Pirates' ships. With his descent, the 100-meter-long ship was directly stomped in half by his foot.
Soon Blite continued charging toward Ubel.
On the Steel Fortress, the Iron Wall Pirates executives saw Blite directly charging toward the Golden Pirates and immediately followed.
Ubel standing on one of the Golden Pirates' ships saw Blite charging toward him with a furious face. A few drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Seeing Blite charging over, Bario and Thornton standing behind Ubel also instantly appeared beside Ubel, ready for battle at any moment.
Soon the Golden Pirates saw a tall figure burning with purple flames instantly appear above them.
Blite looked at Ubel controlling gold to form a golden giant and stomped in mid-air, diving toward the opponent. As his figure approached the golden giant, a fist wrapped in purple lightning instantly blasted toward Ubel.
Seeing Blite's punch coming straight at him, Ubel gritted his teeth and raised his massive golden fist wrapped in golden lightning, clashing head-on with Blite's incoming punch.
BOOM!
In an instant, Ubel's golden giant arm shattered into golden fragments amid cracking sounds and fell onto the deck.
Seeing this scene, Thornton instantly condensed a powerful suction tornado in his hand and swung it toward Blite.
Sandstorm!
Blite saw Thornton's attack and directly punched toward the appearing tornado.
BOOM!
Soon the tornado was completely annihilated under Blite's fist force.
While the Iron Wall Pirates and Golden Pirates were engaged in battle, on Steel Bone Kong's flagship, at this moment, Kong was looking at the latest intelligence in his hand with some disbelief.
Just half an hour ago, intelligence from World Government CP0 arrived: seven days ago, the Rocks Pirates, together with the Lion King Pirates' Vice Captain, killed Earl Jones.
When he saw this intelligence, Kong was completely stunned.
Only after hearing Tsuru's reminder did he come back to his senses.
Kong was very familiar with the strength of this veteran powerhouse, Earl Jones.
But he never expected Earl Jones to actually be killed by the Rocks Pirates.
This made his wariness toward the Rocks Pirates increase even further.
Sengoku and Zephyr standing in front of Kong also saw the intelligence on the table in front of Kong. Even with their mentality, they found it somewhat unbelievable.
After learning that Rocks had sneak-attacked Lion King Island, Sengoku's evaluation of Rocks rose even higher.
In his eyes, the other party had already become a very strategic pirate.
Moreover, the strength of the Rocks Pirates was outrageously powerful. Their pirate crew now already had two Quasi-Admiral-level powerhouses and several top-tier Vice Admiral-level executives.
After being dazed for a long while, Kong finally looked at the three people standing in front of him with a grave expression and said:
"We must curb the development of the Rocks Pirates — otherwise the consequences will become extremely serious."
Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle.
In a tidy and spacious room, five elders of various builds wearing neat clothing were gathered together.
They were the Five Elders, the highest authority on the surface of the World Government.
They were respectively: Finance Warrior God Nasujuro Saint (the sword-wielding elder), Agriculture Warrior God Pitt Saint (the square-faced elder), Justice Warrior God Vochuli Saint (the bearded elder), Environment Warrior God Maz Saint (the long-bearded elder), and Science Defense Warrior God Satan Saint (the white curly-haired elder).
In the room, Satan Saint was holding a wanted poster of Rocks in his hand.
At this moment, it clearly read:
Rocks D. Gibeck, Bounty: 1.5 Billion Berries.
After investigation, Satan Saint discovered that Rocks was actually one of the remnants of the D clan.
"D clan?" "Another one stirring up the seas?" "It seems we need to take this guy seriously." "He's recruited a group of powerful monsters!"
The sword-wielding elder looked at the six wanted posters placed on the table, a sharp cold glint flashing in his eyes.
The other Five Elders also seriously looked through the information on the Rocks Pirates.
Edward Newgate, Bounty: 1.3 Billion Berries. Golden Lion Shiki, Bounty: 1.6 Billion Berries.
