Chapter 22: Roger and Rayleigh
"Turn around, turn around immediately."
John didn't have to say anything more, Commodore Baruch gave the first order and shouted to Sakazuki, "The other side are the big pirates from the New World, the Roger Pirates, not something you can deal with, turn around immediately and head northwest, Vice - Admiral Garp, sent by headquarters, is in this position.
Having said this, he didn't care, he immediately took out a telephone bug and quickly dialed the number.
Garp was lying on a chair sunbathing, his eyes narrowed slightly as if he was about to fall asleep.
Suddenly, he heard someone walking fast, and Garp lazily opened his eyes to see his lieutenant with a nervous look on his face, "Vice Admiral, something happened."
"What's happened?" Garp asked slowly, not yet understanding the seriousness of the situation.
The lieutenant quickly said, "Baruch called and said the trial ship had met a great enemy, the Roger Pirates."
"What?"
Garp abruptly stood up from his chair and asked in a shocked voice, "Roger Pirates, are you sure?".
"Yes".
Garp's expression suddenly changed, he knew perfectly well what level the pirate group "Roger Pirates" was, even he could not cope with it, not to mention twenty recruits.
He understood the importance of this group of recruits, if anything went wrong it would be too great a loss for the fleet.
"Damn, how did that bastard Roger get here and meet the trial ship, tell the warship to speed up right now and hope we still make it."
After the warship accelerated, Garp told the Vice Admiral, "Tell Baruch that if Roger's pirates attack, use my name, that bastard Roger might be lawless, but when he hears I'm around, he can respect me."
As for Roger, Garp still knew a few things about him, after all, they teamed up to deal with Rox, and he also knew that there were many powerful crew members aboard the Roger Pirates, making them one of the the most sophisticated pirate groups in the world.
There was nothing he could do now but give his full support, while praying that Roger would not launch an attack on the trial ship, otherwise it would be very difficult for these twenty recruits to survive.
"Twenty days or so without problems, and now they are almost over, and then something so troublesome pops up, what a failure for this old man."
Just as John and the others spotted the Oro Jackson and prepared to turn around, the pirates on the Oro Jackson also spotted a lone warship in the ocean.
"Captain, there's a warship ahead, should we pursue them?"
On top of a large warship, a group of pirates in strange costumes gathered, they were the famous Roger Pirates all over the ocean.
Although the name of the three legendary pirates has not yet appeared, there are only a few pirates on the sea who can be compared to Roger.
Roger at this point was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a captain's uniform with a captain's cap, with dark hair and a particular curly beard, only he looked rather unkempt, in contrast to the dry and clean blond with glasses next to him.
"Are you familiar with the Navy? I have been chased by the fleet many times already, but now I have come across a rare warship that sails alone, so I have no choice but to pursue it and see if it will be a good exercise for beginners.
A few months ago he returned from the New World to East Blue and then from East Blue to the first half of the Grant Line, picking up a few new crew members along the way, and preparing to re-enter the New World.
"The other side is catching up."
Mills, who had been watching the whole time, warned out loud when he saw the Roger Pirates' pirate ship catching up to him.
Commodore Baruch's face turned extremely ugly as he told Sakazuki, John, and the others, "Vice Admiral Garp is still some distance away from us, it will take him at least twenty minutes to arrive."
"Is there such an escort? That's so far".
John cursed viciously in his hearts, indeed the anime can't be trusted, the anime said that the Roger Pirates were like the Straw Hat Pirates, a pirate group that wanted freedom and adventure and didn't do anything wrong.
But now the pirates are chasing the warships of the Marines, is that what a free and adventurous group can do?
A pirate is a pirate, in the end, no matter for what purpose, from the moment he set foot on the path of a pirate, this means that he is no longer an ordinary person, but a criminal.
It is said that the Straw Hat Pirates don't kill ordinary people, but given their adventures, did fewer people die because of them?
John didn't think he had the aura of a protagonist, and if he really fell into the hands of Roger's pirates, then those pirates would never relent.
Worried, but there was nothing else to do, John calmed himself and simply hoped that the warship was fast enough so that Roger's pirates would not catch up with him.
At the same time, John was very interested in learning about Roger's pirates. How many strong people were at the top of this anime legendary pirate group?
The will of observation instantly opened up and soon covered a large area, including a large pirate ship.
On the pirate ship, he felt many powerful auras, and all of them were many times more powerful than him, and some of them were even more powerful than Zephyr.
"Are they Roger's pirates? It's terrifying, no wonder they were able to fight their way to the Pirate King's name, not only because he found Raftel, just because their pirate group's fighting power is enough to become the best pirate group in the New World." P/n: I know it's called Lovetail now, but I liked the old name better, so I'll call it that.
The fact that there were several powerful people comparable to admirals in one pirate group was extremely rare in the New World.
Roger, Reilly, Skoper Gaban and so on, they are all extremely strong people.
"Is my luck too good, or is it too bad? I can't believe I met the Roger Pirates at this time."
Oro Jackson!
Roger had gone through countless pirate ships since he set sail, but this one was different, the best he'd ever had.
Built from Adam's treasure wood, the Oro-Jackson was an absolute treasure ship, and after obtaining this ship, the strength of the Roger Pirates increased another notch.
"Reilly, did you feel it?" Roger suddenly turned to Reilly.
Reilly, who at this time still had blond hair and looked very elegant with his glasses, nodded his head.
"Well, I found out that someone is following us, not following, but watching with a mockery."
Roger laughed out loud, "Looks like there's a strong guy on this ship too, he was able to sense us from such a distance, and if our senses weren't strong enough, we wouldn't be able to detect him, it's not often possible to practice your will of observation until to such a degree."
Reilly said, "So far, though I can do it too, but it won't necessarily be easy, a fleet worthy of a fleet, indeed a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons."
"But the other side obviously recognized us and actually turned around and left, it's rare to meet someone so interesting, if we don't see them then wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
At this time, Roger gathered his companions and prepared to sail to Raftel, his body had not yet become useless, so he still acted on his own, doing whatever came to his mind.
The speed of Roger's pirate ship was very high, several paces faster than the warship that John and the others were on, and this caused the distance between the two sides to shorten.
