Chapter 41: Chapter 41: The Rocks Pirate Group Sets Out
"Gather your fleets and prepare to depart immediately. As usual, 30% of the loot goes to the pirate group, and the rest is yours to keep," Rocks declared, directing his words particularly at Li Yuan, as it was his first time participating in a Rocks Pirate Group raid.
"Understood, Captain!" Li Yuan replied with a nod.
"Waahahaha, then let's set off and plunder fiercely!" Rocks commanded, unleashing his powerful Conqueror's Haki, which felt as deep and menacing as an abyss.
"Gurararara!!!"
"Yohohoho!!!"
"Kyahaha!!!"
"Nyehahaha!!!"
"Mama, mama!!!"
"Waahahaha!!!"
At the same time, the Conqueror's Haki of all the officers was unleashed, creating a scene of overwhelming power that reverberated across Beehive Island. However, this display of Haki was more about expressing their excitement rather than intimidating anyone.
Otherwise, the sheer amount of Conqueror's Haki would have knocked out most of the pirates on the island, making any talk of plundering impossible if everyone was unconscious.
After the meeting, Li Yuan returned to his base, rallying everyone to set sail for the raid.
Since recruiting Marie and fifty others, Li Yuan had added another fifty, bringing his crew to around 200, including his original group of junior brothers.
"Prepare all necessary supplies. We're joining the main fleet to plunder treasures," Li Yuan announced to his subordinates.
"Great news, Boss! We finally get to plunder treasures!" Marie exclaimed excitedly upon hearing Li Yuan's words.
Generally, as officers of the Rocks Pirate Group, those who enjoyed plundering often raided other pirates or islands for treasures.
However, Li Yuan had been focused on training for three months, frustrating the newly joined pirates, many of whom had signed up for the promise of loot.
As the officers returned to their bases and instructed their subordinates to mobilize, the pirates on Beehive Island became bustling and excited, loading various supplies onto their ships at the port.
Meanwhile, numerous spies on Beehive Island began transmitting the news to their respective organizations.
**Red Line, Holy Land Mariejois:**
"The Rocks Pirate Group has mobilized, but their target is still unknown," reported Saint Peter, the Agricultural God of War.
"Let the Navy handle the Rocks Pirate Group. However, if the Rocks Pirate Group is on the move, Blood Viper Li Yuan might also be out. Send CP0 to see if there's an opportunity to capture him," suggested Saint Nasujuro, the Financial God of War.
"Agreed, that's a good plan. Let the Navy face the Rocks Pirate Group head-on, while CP0 operates in the shadows," added Saint Satan, the Scientific Defense God of War.
**Navy Headquarters:**
"Brack, the Rocks Pirate Group has set out from Beehive Island. You must monitor them closely and prevent them from acting recklessly," instructed Saint Vauqiri, the Legal God of War, via den den mushi to Admiral Brack.
"Yes, Lord Vauqiri, I will dispatch Admiral Steel Bone Kong to monitor the Rocks Pirate Group," Brack replied.
"That's not enough. You must go as well. You know the Rocks Pirate Group's power better than anyone; Steel Bone Kong alone can't handle Rocks," Saint Vauqiri insisted.
"Lord Vauqiri, even with Steel Bone Kong and myself, we can't handle the Rocks Pirate Group. I hope the World Government can send powerful forces to support us in the New World," Brack suggested, aware that Steel Bone Kong couldn't handle Rocks alone.
"I will dispatch Army General Sora Dull to assist you. You must determine the Rocks Pirate Group's objectives and curb their arrogance if necessary," stated Saint Vauqiri.
"Understood, Lord Vauqiri," Brack replied.
"Summon Vice Admirals Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and Tsuru immediately!" Saint Vauqiri ordered after hanging up the call.
"Admiral!"
Soon, Vice Admirals Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and Tsuru arrived at the Admiral's office.
"Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, I will assign your current tasks to other vice admirals. You will accompany me into the New World to support Steel Bone Kong. We might face a major battle with the Rocks Pirate Group."
"Tsuru, in my absence, you will oversee operations at Navy Headquarters as Deputy Chief of Staff," Brack instructed sternly.
"Don't worry, Admiral. We will bring the entire Rocks Pirate Group back to Impel Down," Garp responded excitedly at the prospect of battling the Rocks Pirate Group.
"Garp, calm down!" Sengoku scolded, pushing Garp back into his seat.
Once the pirates on Beehive Island were ready, dozens of pirate ships set sail in a grand procession.
"Set sail!!!"
With preparations complete, Li Yuan boarded his ship, joining the Rocks Pirate Group's fleet as they set out.
The Rocks Pirate Group's grand mobilization sent shockwaves throughout the New World, as they were the reigning power.
In this era, who didn't know of the Rocks Pirate Group's fearsome reputation? Who didn't know that Rocks was the world's strongest man?
The Rocks Pirate Group was the sole overlord of the New World, a fact even the Navy couldn't dispute.
In this world, many nations existed, some of which were World Government member countries.
Others couldn't afford the Heavenly Tribute and thus couldn't join the World Government, nor could they receive protection from the World Government or Navy.
In the New World, even World Government member countries, despite being able to request protection, felt no sense of security because the Rocks Pirate Group was too powerful, even beyond the Navy's reach.
A day after the Rocks Pirate Group set out, their general direction became apparent.
World Government member countries in their path urgently requested protection from the Navy and World Government, hoping to keep the Rocks Pirate Group at bay.
The Navy in the New World, responding to these requests, quickly moved to provide support.
