Chapter 328: Encountering Marine By Accident
"Hey, Squalo, how much longer until we reach Secon Island?"
Xanxus asked impatiently as he sat on his chair.
"Damn boss, you've asked that a hundred and eighty times already. If we could get there faster, don't you think I'd want that too? If it weren't for that damn storm we encountered earlier, we would have reached Secon Island by now!"
Squalo was even more impatient than Xanxus and shouted loudly. Their boss was just sitting around, acting cool and doing everything by himself. If Squalo didn't vent like this from time to time, he might go crazy!
However, within the entire Varia Squad, Squalo was the only one who dared to speak in this manner to Xanxus.
They had set off from Wano Country under the cover of night, and apart from Shimozuki Clan, no one knew their whereabouts. They were using optical camouflage warships to avoid detection. Their goal was to catch Shiki and his crew off guard. After all, the orders from above were clear: spare no one. If they were discovered, their enemies might not dare to engage them.
If they didn't kill their enemies on sight, how could they complete the premise of "spare no one?" Were they going to wait for their enemies to come to them?
Shiki's main base was hidden somewhere in the New World, making it difficult to find. How could they attack it head-on?
So, they had given the world the impression that Varia was still in Wano Country. To make this look even more convincing, even Levi had been left behind in Wano, and only four hundred elite soldiers had accompanied them. The rest remained in Wano.
This way, when others finally noticed their movements, they would have already surrounded Shiki and his crew!
However, fate had its own plans. They encountered a massive storm during their journey, slowing them down. Otherwise, as Squalo had said, they should have arrived at Secon Island by now.
"Captain Squalo, it seems there's a Marine fleet ahead!"
Just at that moment, Fran, who was standing at the edge of the deck, suddenly spoke up. "There are ten warships in total, and they all seem to be heading in the same direction. Could it be that... the Marines are also planning to capture Shiki and Big Mom? That they came to help us?"
"Huh?"
Squalo was momentarily stunned, then immediately walked to the edge of the deck to look ahead. Sure enough, he saw ten Marine warships, and he could sense numerous powerful presences from them. There must be more to those ten warships than meets the eye. "Are you kidding me? Even if pigs can fly, the Marines would never help Vongola Family. Their goal was probably... to kill us and Shiki's crew in one fell swoop!"
Capturing pirates was indeed the Marines' duty, but as a Mafia, Vongola Family was also the Marines' enemy. Moreover, conflicts between the Vongola Family and the Marines had occurred more than once. Unless those Marines had gone insane, why would they help Vongola Family?
Although Squalo knew that Fran was making a sarcastic comment, he couldn't help but curse under his breath.
"The Marines have deployed a formidable force this time. Hehehehe!"
Belphegor had also noticed the ten warships. "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the three admirals, Marine Hero Garp, and even the former Admiral Zephyr... They've practically mobilized their entire elite force. But entering the New World this boldy, aren't they afraid of pirates ganging up on them?"
While it was possible, the chances were close to zero. Which pirate would trust another pirate? Even Gol D. Roger, hadn't been able to unify all the pirates in the New World. Now, there was no one with that kind of influence anymore. Among Vongola Primo, Whitebeard, and Big Mom, none of them had the ability to conquer the entire New World on their own. After all, controlling all the pirates in the New World was impossible through sheer strength alone.
"So, does that mean the Marines are our enemies, and they've deployed a considerable force this time?"
Xanxus' eyes flashed, and his expression became much more excited. He also exuded a unique aura. "Considering this situation, it seems we don't need to go to Secon Island. We can just fight here, right? These Marines showed up at the right time. I was getting bored. Starting a fight here will be... fantastic!"
Although he looked a bit troubled by his boss's excitement, Squalo thought there was nothing wrong with it. The Marines were most likely targeting Vongola Family as well. Intercepting them here would mean participating in the battle near Secon Island. And compared to going to the Secon Island, fighting the Marines here would certainly be more interesting!
Why did Squalo think so?
Because on Secon Island, there were Guardians, the Arcobaleno, and their boss. The formidable opponents had all been taken care of by them. What was left for them there?
But now, facing the Marines head-on was different. They could easily pick their opponent to their liking here!
Thinking this way, Squalo also became excited. He immediately gave the order, "Everyone, listen up! Disable the optical camouflage and prepare for battle. We'll deal with the Marines ahead! Those so-called Admirals are all just small fries. They dare to target our Ffamily? Let's show them the might of Varia!"
With the command given, the optical camouflage technology was deactivated. Varia warships then headed straight for the Marine fleet. At the same time, Xanxus leaped onto the bow of the ship, fixed his gaze on the approaching Marine warships, and raised the pistols in his hands. "Let's greet them first. After all, we suddenly appeared like this. It wouldn't be polite if we didn't greet them. Burst of Wrath!"
Bullets formed from Dying Will Flames of Wrath were continuously fired from the two pistols at high speed. The Flame of Wrath bombarded the Marine warships!
