Chapter 224 A mere general
Chapter 224 A mere general
Jerry had already anticipated that there would be intelligence personnel from the World Government remaining on Batlila Island.
He did not stop Ace from returning here, but was mentally prepared to be surrounded and pursued.
Jerry knew that once the World Government learned of the relationship between Ace and Roger, it would stir up a bloody storm and would most likely launch a fierce hunt for Ace.
But after coming here, he realized that he seemed to have overestimated the capabilities of the World Government's intelligence personnel.
In other words, it is not known whether it is caused by internal factors or other unknown reasons, but it seems that only a few people around Sengoku suspect Ace's bloodline.
This means that Batlila Island, once a focus of attention, is now only stationed with a few ordinary intelligence personnel.
Although their numbers are larger than those of other islands, they do not have top combat forces.
The two CP0s that landed right after the navy did not seem to be permanently stationed here, but more like they were recently sent to track them.
What really surprised Jerry was Aokiji's arrival.
Based on what Aokiji said when he first arrived, Jerry could be sure that this was an arrangement by Sengoku, not a decision made by the World Government.
This made him think that Sengoku had begun to suspect and sent Aokiji to confirm something, and the target was most likely Ace.
Therefore, after hearing Aokiji's remarks just now, Jerry suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated his current importance.
In fact, Aokiji is still confused about Sengoku's true intentions. He was only ordered to come to this island to intercept Jerry and his gang.
In the order Aokiji received, his mission was to secretly come to this island to hunt down the Kuroko Pirates.
After learning of Sengoku's arrangement, the World Government asked CP0 to join in. Their main purpose was to capture Jerry and others as a warning to others.
However, it wasn't just Jerry who underestimated himself, the World Government and the Navy also underestimated him.
They didn't expect that even if Jerry left the sea and was on the island, he was still more slippery than a fish. He could not only break Aokiji's control, but also compete with him for a short time.
After knowing that he was the enemy's target, Jerry calmed down.
Since Aokiji is already here, it proves that the enemy should not have any top-level combat power appearing.
In this case, with the appearance of Marco, the companions' escape is almost certain.
Thinking of this, Jerry no longer held back. He suddenly laughed out loud, "Haha! Come and try the trick I have practiced for many years!"
Jerry appeared in a flash, and in the blink of an eye he took the initiative to close the distance between himself and Aokiji.
"Huh?" Aokiji's lifeless eyes suddenly widened, surprised that Jerry took the initiative to approach him, contrary to his usual behavior.
"Watch this! Watch this! Watch this!"
Jerry punched with his left fist, kicked with his right pole, and each move brought out many twists and turns of lightning. His domineering aura burst out, setting off his wild smile.
The exploding domineering aura not only wrapped around his attack, but the aftermath also made the surroundings become a mess.
Without any worries, Jerry completely let go and experienced the long-lost pleasure of attacking with all his might.
Feeling the other party's fierce momentum like a hurricane sweeping across the world, and the sharp wind blowing in his face, Aokiji's expression became solemn.
Without saying a word, he combined his freezing ability and domineering power into his fists and faced the enemy head-on without fear.
"when!"
Jerry's fishing rod, which he swung horizontally, collided head-on with Aokiji's right hook, causing a sound of metal clashing.
"Oh!"
The attack failed to work, so Jerry used the rebound force to twist his waist, raised his left leg and kicked Aokiji's waist with the force of wind and thunder.
But Aokiji quickly swung out his left fist, using powerful force to neutralize Jerry's attack, causing both of them to take a half step back almost at the same time.
Without waiting for his body to stop, Jerry used the force of his falling feet to turn sideways, collect his fist and gather strength, then stomped his right foot hard and rushed out like lightning again.
"Wind God Fist!"
A gleam of light flashed in Aokiji's eyes, and the temperature around him seemed to suddenly drop by dozens of degrees. He maintained the combination of ability and domineering, and swiftly swung a punch with endless cold wind.
"Ice Gloves!"
"Boom!"
A deafening roar accompanied by a circular shock wave swept in all directions. Its power was so strong that it not only created a deep pit where the two men fought, but also changed the color of the clouds in the sky, as if the whole world was shocked at this moment.
In a slightly concave bay, the pirates who broke through the siege finally returned to the ship.
Lying on the deck and receiving treatment from Marco, Deus looked at the strange place in the distance with howling winds and rolling clouds with a worried look on his face, and said softly:
"That's where Jerry and Aokiji fought, right? I hope he's okay."
"Well, believe Jerry, he won't be defeated easily." As a partner who often practices sparring with him, Ace knows best how fast Jerry's strength is growing, so he is also the one who has the most confidence in Jerry.
"That's right. That boy was able to suppress me after I turned into a white horse and became much stronger. How could he lose here?"
Cavendish said this, but his fists were clenched tightly, inadvertently revealing his inner tension and anxiety.
However, he also knew that he could not easily intervene in a battle of that level at present.
"Everyone, relax. Boss Jerry has already told me that as long as we get back on the ship, we will set sail directly. He will definitely catch up with us. Oh, hahaha!"
Noticing that even the injured Garrot and young Bonnie showed some worried looks, Scarr spoke in a calm tone while making preparations for the voyage without stopping.
However, the unnatural laughter at the end exposed his forced calmness.
After Brooke helped Skarr quickly finish the preparations, he looked at the ship slowly leaving the shore with a determined light in his eyes:
"Yes, I always believe in Mr. Jerry. He will definitely come back as promised, just like me and Rab. In this respect, we are the same kind of people, yo ho ho ho."
Then, Brooke said solemnly: "Everyone, let's set sail!"
"Okay!" Everyone looked at each other and answered in unison.
It's not that Zeus and the others were worrying unnecessarily, it's just that the admiral of the navy put too much pressure on everyone.
The navy's highest combat power, this is not just a bluffing title, but a real fact recognized by all forces including the pirate camp.
Not to mention the small matter of Aokiji easily controlling and kicking Cavendish away in one encounter, even in various rumors and intelligence in the past, the admirals of the navy basically defeated the enemies with a crushing force.
Compared to the elusive Kizaru whom they had encountered at sea before, it was obvious that Aokiji, whom they were currently facing on land, gave them a greater sense of oppression.
After all, they all knew that, in the middle of the ocean, even if Jerry couldn't defeat his opponent, he could always escape.
"Ahem! Tui!"
Jerry slowly climbed up on the cracked ground. The injuries on his body could not conceal the sharpness he exuded and the smug smile on his face.
"Hmph! You're just a navy admiral, I won't be intimidated by you!" Jerry was breathing heavily, but he still held his head high and puffed out his chest.
"Really?" A calm voice echoed in the air, and then a tall and thin figure rushed over from the gradually calming smoke and dust in the distance in an instant.
