On the shores of God Valley, aboard the pirate ship.
Roger, Rayleigh, Gaban, Bullet, and countless other crew members all jumped off the ship.
As Kong had said, once they disembarked, they all stood on the side of the Marines.
"Damn it! They're traitors among pirates! They actually teamed up with the Marines! I didn't believe it when Kong said it earlier!"
"Shit! The Roger Pirates, a force reknown in the New World, would actually bow to the Marines!"
"Our Rocks Pirates even tried to recruit them before. No wonder they refused—they were already in cahoots with the Marines!"
"What spineless scum! How do they even deserve to call themselves pirates?"
"Brothers, when they join, let's cut down the Roger Pirates first. Kill every one of them!"
"..."
As the Roger Pirates moved closer to the Marines, those who had doubted Kong words were now convinced.
The Rocks Pirates were furious.
They never imagined that pirates would ally with the Marines to eliminate another pirate crew.
In their understanding, pirates and Marines were natural enemies, with no possibility of shared interests, let alone battlefield cooperation.
A battle of this scale would cause significant losses for either side.
They couldn't understand what the Marines had offered to make the Roger Pirates do this.
After all, whether they won or lost, their reputation at sea would be ruined. From then on, they'd be scorned by other pirates.
Some more thoughtful pirates considered a possibility.
The Roger Pirates, ranked second in the New World, had always been overshadowed by the Rocks Pirates.
Perhaps, realizing they couldn't surpass them in raw strength, they sought to use the Marines to climb to the top!
Thinking this, the pirates felt even more anger, disdain, and contempt for the Roger Pirates.
However, the arrival of the Roger Pirates didn't dampen the morale of the Rocks crew.
Instead, it ignited their fighting spirit, vowing to keep the Roger Pirates firmly beneath them.
They would ensure the Roger Pirates remained in second place forever.
Meanwhile, on the edge of the battlefield at God Valley.
Whitebeard and Sengoku, locked in combat, both noticed the arrival of the Roger Pirates.
"Hmph! With the Roger Pirates as reinforcements, your Rocks Pirates are doomed to lose!" Sengoku sneered.
He and Whitebeard had been locked in a fierce battle for some time. Despite his many tactics, he still couldn't gain the upper hand.
Now that reinforcements had arrived, his tone became more confident.
"Gurarara! I never thought the day would come when the Marines would seek help from pirates!" Whitebeard laughed, swinging his bisento forward.
"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. I'm sure you pirates understand that better than we Marines do!" Sengoku's right hand turned golden as he punched against Whitebeard's blade.
A deafening clash echoed as the two figures collided in mid-air.
"So, what about the justice in your Marines' hearts? Is this it?" Whitebeard mocked.
"Want to know? Why don't you join our Marine faction? The Rocks Pirates will surely fall today. A wise man knows when to yield!" Sengoku said calmly.
He wanted to turn Whitebeard to his side, pulling him into his own camp. If successful, the Navy's victory would be even greater.
"Gurarara, then take this strike from me first!" Whitebeard laughed heartily, a white light glowing on his Murakumogiri as he swung it directly in front of Sengoku.
Although Whitebeard didn't care much for the Rocks Pirates in his heart, he would never betray his allies on the battlefield.
It was just a pity that he couldn't face off against Roger—that was a true regret.
"Hmph! You're being ungrateful!" Sengoku face darkened as his golden fist clashed with Murakumogiri, creating a thunderous impact.
The two figures were forced back, only to clash again moments later.
"Jihahaha! I never expected the Roger Pirates to join the fray!" Shiki laughed wildly, brandishing his two legendary swords.
After Kong defeat, he had been worried about the Navy situation. Losing their top-tier fighters would surely lead to their collapse in this battle.
And after this war, Rocks would ascend to the pinnacle of the world, leaving Shiki with no chance to rise.
But unexpectedly, the Roger Pirates had joined at this critical moment, completely turning the tide of the battle.
As a pirate with a bounty of 1.5 billion berries, Roger combat prowess was undoubtedly formidable.
"You seem quite pleased" Zephyr remarked calmly.
The appearance of the Roger Pirates was good news for Zephyr, but Shiki's reaction was somewhat peculiar.
He seemed even happier than Zephyr himself.
"It seems your Rocks Pirates aren't as united as they appear," Zephyr immediately considered this possibility.
The commanders of the Rocks Pirates were all notorious figures on the seas, each harboring their own ambitions to dominate the oceans and become the most powerful among them.
Rocks was like a massive shadow, binding these ruthless pirates together.
For these captains to become the rulers of the seas, their first obstacle wasn't the Navy—it was their own captain, Rocks.
After all, Rocks' strength had reached a level where the pirates dared not even think of rebellion, at least on the surface.
So, they needed external forces to intervene and help them remove this greatest obstacle.
"No wonder you've been using the same moves over and over—you're a traitor!" Zephyr continued, a knowing smile spreading across his face.
"Slash Wave!" Hearing Zephyr call him a traitor, Shiki immediately launched a Slash Wave in his direction.
Though it was true, he didn't like others pointing it out.
.....
Meanwhile, Roger stood beside Kong, raising an eyebrow as he observed the injuries on the Navy Admiral.
"I never expected a Navy Fleet Admiral to be so severely wounded. If I were to kill you here, who would stop me?" Roger said slowly.
"You won't kill me. Our target is Rocks. If you harm me, Rocks will be the one to benefit in the end," Kong replied calmly, clutching his stomach.
"Don't waste time. Garp won't last much longer. Once he's in the same state as me, you won't be able to take on Rocks alone!"
Kong had always harbored a deep dislike for pirates. Even though he was now allied with Roger, his tone remained cold and detached. He briefly outlined the situation and then fell silent, unwilling to say more.
Hearing this, Roger shifted his gaze and turned to look at the intense battle between Rocks and Garp in mid-air. His eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit!
