Chapter 25: Garp vs. Roger.
"A warship was sighted about five nautical miles to port." Mills suddenly shouted, his tone was joyful.
Baruch was overjoyed: "It must be Vice Admiral Garp and his support coming, hold on everyone, we'll be saved when Vice Admiral Garp arrives."
"Finally?" John was also relieved to hear that, his pounding heart finally calming down a bit.
The warship was spotted by them, and naturally, Roger's side of the pirates also saw the warship coming to the rescue.
"Roger, a warship is coming, it must be the fleet coming to support them." On the Oro Jackson, Skoper was the first to spot the warship.
Roger was amazed: "Navy support so fast? How long did it take for someone to come to them?"
Their chase had now been going on for a little over twenty minutes, and in the vast ocean, even if they could keep in touch, it was not easy to find a ship accurately.
"Captain, should we just wipe him off the face of the earth, or what should we do?"
All the pirates weren't stupid, they were Roger's pirate group, chasing the warship, didn't sink the other side, instead their own pirate ship was damaged, let them, a group of wise and proud pirates, they held their breath.
A bright light flashed in Roger's eyes and he said, "Wait for him to get close and sink him."
He was clearly more interested in the people on the warship in front of him than in the warship coming to the rescue - it seemed like there were a few people with good abilities who would be nice to get to join them in a pirate group.
"Vice Admiral Garp, these are indeed Roger's Pirates."
Karp's second commander, a robust man in his thirties, answered Karp when he saw a pirate ship in the distance through binoculars.
Garp asked, "How's the test ship?"
"Responses are still coming in now, the warship is a bit battered, but there are no casualties."
"This is good".
Garp breathed a sigh of relief, there were no losses, if there were any, he would hardly have escaped responsibility, and it would be difficult for him to forgive himself, after all, many of the soldiers on that ship were recruits who were appreciated by the higher authorities.
After being reassured, Garp barked angrily, "That guy, Roger, didn't he stay in the New World? When he gets to the first half of the Grant Line and he's chasing our people, it's not like him."
He had known Roger for many years, and when they destroyed the Rocks Pirates, they joined forces, and although they were each other's adversaries, they still knew each other relatively well.
"A pirate is a pirate, after all, and Roger is no exception."
The vice admiral saw no problem, the fleet could chase and kill the pirates, and in turn, when the pirates got strong, they could naturally chase and fight the fleet.
"Looks like the trial ship is going to hold out, Vice Admiral Garp, we should go there immediately."
The warship sailed swiftly, and Roger didn't know what he was thinking when he saw the approaching warship with support, instead he did not stop his attack, but pursued it without haste, as if waiting for another warship to approach.
The three ships were rapidly approaching, and when John saw this scene, he finally calmed down. Although Roger's pirates were strong, Garp's fleet was not weak, and if they did fight at sea, it remains to be seen who wins and who loses, and he didn't believe Roger would actually be ready to fight Garp to the death.
"Haha, let's greet this Roger first."
He saw Karp take out a cannonball and did not know what he had done, but the cannonball became incomparably huge, comparable to a warship, and then he threw it with force at the pirate ship.
The black cannonball looked like a small mountain, and Roger immediately recognized it: "I was wondering who it was, and it turned out to be Garp."
He and Garp had known each other for a long time, one was a sentinel, the other a pirate, they fought more than once and were considered old enemies, Roger, of course, knew Garp's abilities well.
Seeing that a huge cannonball was about to hit him, Roger quickly drew his sword, and this blow was no less than a huge cannonball.
"Bolt!"
The cannonball pierced through, and there was a huge explosion.
"Roger, instead of staying in the New World, you've come here to harass and kill the recruits of our fleet, have you no more shame?"
Garp's booming voice sounded like thunder, allowing everyone on the three ships to hear it clearly.
"This is the voice of Vice Admiral Garp, Vice Admiral Garp is coming."
The recruits were overjoyed to hear Garp's voice, Garp had the title of hero of the fleet and was the number one man in the fleet, they didn't know how strong Roger's pirates really were but were confident that Garp could defeat the Roger pirates.
The only one not happy is John. Garp is very strong, but the main thing is that Roger is not weak either, and if these two really fight, I'm afraid that the ratio will be 50/50.
But Roger's team is strong, there is also not a weak Reilly, as well as Skoper and other team members, also all elite, it's hard to say whether Garp's ship can withstand them.
"Garp, old man, you're still alive, right? Do you want me to drive you?"
Roger laughed out loud, even though the two were rivals and had fought many times, but as they say, heroes cherish heroes and their relationship was both competitive and hardly friendly.
"Better let me drive you to Impeldown."
Garp counterattacked loudly, and the cannonballs crashed into Oro-Jackson like meteors. Only the height was more than ten meters, and it was simply impossible for a person of Karp's level to miss.
But all of Roger's pirates were elite people, and although there were many cannonballs, none of them could reach the hull of the ship.
"Hey Roger, why are there so many trees growing on your ship? What is this focus?
Garp crossed her arms and, coming closer, laughed derisively when she saw the situation on Jackson.
Roger's face contorted as he released a slash, "Komusari (God Rejection)!".
The flying strike, entangled by the weapon's will, was instantly in front of Garp's warship and crashed into it.
Garp didn't dodge, he fought Roger many times and naturally knew Roger's move, at first he quickly swung his fist, and after the punch collided with his fist, his other hand swung in the same direction and hit the blade.
"Boom!"
The warship shook violently for a moment, but nothing broke as Garp yelled, "Fire the cannons and hit them."
The soldiers on the warship had already filled their cannons with shells and opened fire as soon as Garp gave the order.
John and the others who had fled earlier also stopped and followed suit, filling their cannons with cannonballs and exploding them in the direction of the pirate ship.
The three battleships immediately opened fire and engaged.
"Such a distance, just right."
John and the others were now within a couple of hundred meters of the pirate ships, allowing him to control the plants as he pleased.
"Sakazuki, attack the pirate ship with your lava while I control the plants to create chaos."
John told Sakazuki and then immediately took control of the plants on the pirate ship, although those plants could no longer keep growing, he could control those plants to attack.
