Chapter 94: Alliance is reached! The army is coming! The final battle officially begins!
On the deck of the Sunny.
Luffy stood at the bow.
Looking at the island ahead that was getting closer and closer.
His face was full of anticipation.
“That’s the island closest to Raftel, right?”
“When we set sail again from that island, our destination will be the final island, Raftel!”
Behind Luffy.
Other companions such as Zoro and Sanji were also excited.
Because of some special reasons.
They arrived later than Blackbeard, Shanks, Buggy and others.
And they have lost contact with the outside world in the past few days.
So at this moment, they still don’t know what happened on this island.
They don’t know what kind of battle will be waiting for them next.
At this moment, everyone’s heart.
There is only anticipation and joy for arriving at the final island, Raftel.
However…
As the Sunny continued to approach the island ahead.
Everyone soon noticed something was wrong.
Usopp, the sniper, was the first to react.
He picked up a telescope and put it in front of his eyes.
Looked towards the island ahead.
Then he said with a serious look:
“Luffy, there are already people on that island!”
“I saw Hawkeye and Crocodile…”
“They are from the Cross Guild!”
“They actually arrived here before us!”
“And…”
“There seems to be traces of a battle on the island!”
Hearing Usopp’s words.
Everyone’s expressions became serious.
Zoro couldn’t help but put his hands on the hilt of the knife at his waist.
There was a flash of excitement and eagerness in his eyes.
“Is Hawkeye here too?”
“That’s great!”
On the side.
Sanji frowned slightly.
“Are there any signs of a major battle on the island?”
“Then it seems that those who arrived on the island before us…”
“It’s not just the “130” that has the Cross Guild!”
Jinbei crossed his arms, his face showing a thoughtful look.
“Who will be the other force that will fight against the Cross Guild?”
“Will it be the Red Hair Pirates?”
“Or the Blackbeard Pirates?”
Nami stroked her hair and said:
“I remember that Buggy and Shanks seemed to have been trainees of the Roger Pirates?”
“Given the relationship between the two of them, such a war should not break out.”
“I feel that the other force should be more likely to be the Blackbeard Pirates.”
Chopper held a large marshmallow in his hand and ate it while saying:
“That is to say…”
“Did the Blackbeard Pirates and the Cross Guild arrive here before us?”
“If it weren’t for the previous incident, we wouldn’t have been delayed for so many days.”
Robin slowly closed the book in his hand and chuckled:
“Maybe the Red Hair Pirates will arrive earlier than us.”
“It’s even possible that they have already set off for Raftel.”
Franky took a sip of Coke and said confidently:
“Don’t worry, even if we are the last to arrive here.”
“With the Sunny, we will definitely be able to catch up with the progress!”
Brook put down the violin in his hand and said with a smile:
“Anyway, no matter what, the one who will become the Pirate King in the end…”
“It will definitely be our Captain Luffy! ”
“Yohohoho~”
Everyone was chatting.
There was no sign of nervousness.
They looked quite calm.
And Luffy was sitting on the lion bow of the Sunny.
Looking into the distance.
He reached out and pressed the straw hat on his head.
“Shanks…”
“It’s finally almost time for us to meet!”
“This straw hat…”
“I’ll be able to give it back to you in person soon! ”
With such expectations.
The Sunny soon docked at the shore of the island.
Luffy and others disembarked one after another.
Hawkeye and Crocodile had long been waiting on the shore with the people of the Cross Guild.
They had no intention of attacking the Straw Hat Pirates.
They just watched the other party land silently.
Zoro’s eyes were always on Hawkeye.
Sanji, Nami and others looked at Crocodile with hostility.
After all, the other party was the culprit who caused trouble in the Kingdom of Alabasta.
As Vivi’s partners, they naturally still have a hostile attitude towards Crocodile to this day.
Luffy took the initiative to greet Crocodile and said with a smile:
“Oh! Crocodile, long time no see! ”
“You helped me several times in Marinford. Thank you so much!”
Although Crocodile and himself are enemies.
But Luffy has always been clear about what he loves and hates.
Two years ago, during the war at the top.
Crocodile helped him several times.
First, he stopped Hawkeye for him.
Then, when Ace was about to be executed, he took action to deal with the two executioners.
After Luffy fell into a coma, it was Crocodile who used the sandstorm to save Luffy from Akainu, rolled him up into the sky, and sent him to Buggy’s arms.
Luffy later heard about this incident from Jinbei and kept it in mind.
Faced with Luffy’s thanks.
Crocodile held a cigar in his mouth, expressionless.
No expression.
Instead, Hawkeye looked at Luffy and said in a deep voice:
“Shanks is your guide, right?”
“He was buried on the hillside in the center of the island.”
“If you want to see him again, go there and see him.”
As soon as these words came out.
The smile on Luffy’s face froze instantly.
He widened his eyes.
His pupils trembled violently.
His face was full of disbelief.
The Straw Hat Pirates behind him were also stunned.
Their expressions looked very surprised.
“What… did you say?!”
“What does it mean that Shanks was buried?!!!”
Luffy quickly rushed to Hawkeye and asked in an extremely anxious tone.
Hawkeye lowered his eyes slightly and answered solemnly:
“A few days ago, a war broke out between the Red Hair Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates on this island.”
“When we arrived, Shanks had already died at the hands of Blackbeard.”
Hearing Hawkeye’s explanation.
Luffy stood there for a long time as if his brain had crashed.
Nami behind him couldn’t help but cover her mouth and murmured in a low voice:
“How could this happen…”
After a while.
Luffy finally came to his senses.
Then he ran quickly towards the hillside in the center of the island without looking back.
Zoro and others did not follow.
After all, they were not familiar with Shanks.
Their shock and surprise came more from their concern for Luffy’s mood.
At this time, it was not easy for them to follow and disturb each other.
See Luffy leave.
Hawkeye set his sights on Zoro again.
“I know you want to challenge me and replace me as the world’s number one swordsman.”
“But now is not the time for us to fight.”
“The World Government and the Navy Headquarters have dispatched a large number of troops, and they are on their way here.”
“And their purpose…”
“They want to catch both of us in one fell swoop!”
At this time, Crocodile on the side finally spoke.
“According to the intelligence, the three admirals Kizaru, Fujitora and Green Bull are all dispatched this time.”
“In addition, there are seven Seraphim.”
Speaking of this, Crocodile suddenly paused.
A very unhappy expression appeared on his face.
“I get angry when I mention this Seraphim. It seems to be a war weapon cloned from our genes.”
“It is said that it even looks like us. It makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it!”
Jinbei nodded and responded:
“Yes, we have fought against those Seraphim before when we were on Egg Point Island.”
“ThisSome Seraphim even have the bloodline of the Lunaria clan. They are indeed a very tough opponent!”
Sanji silently lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep breath.
Then he blew out a few smoke rings from his mouth and said:
“If that’s the case…”
“It seems that now is not the time for our two groups to fight.”
“The World Government and the Navy Headquarters are our common enemies.”
Zoro loosened his hands on the hilt of the knife, looked at Hawkeye, and said in a deep voice:
“Then let’s put the duel between us aside for now.”
“If we don’t join forces, any one of us alone…”
“I’m afraid it won’t be enough to deal with the next war. ”
After a conversation.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
The Straw Hat Pirates and the Cross Guild formed an alliance!
Prepare to welcome the upcoming World Government and the Navy Headquarters army!
The picture freezes here.
The translucent barrage floated again——
[Hiss! Join forces! Join forces! The Straw Hat Pirates and the Cross Guild really joined forces!]
[The enemy of my enemy is my friend, this sentence It’s true! ]
[Bucky and Luffy join forces, the Five Elders are in for a treat! ]
[Who would have thought that after escaping from Impel Down, Luffy and Buggy would work together again! ]
[Last time, Luffy and Buggy joined forces, and Impel Down was turned upside down by them. ]
[Now that the two have joined forces again, I’m afraid that even if the World Government and the Marine Headquarters come out in full force, they may not be able to withstand it! ]
[Speaking of which, It’s really sad. Buggy and Luffy were at loggerheads in the East China Sea, but now that they are almost at the final island of Raftel, they have become allies! ]
[Sometimes I have to sigh at the wonder of fate! ]
[Shanks: Do you like it? I’ll give you my life. (dog head)]
[Baki and Luffy are just like destined enemies! ]
[Hahahaha! No, buddy upstairs, are you a devil? ! ][]

Inside the viewing screen.
The video continues to play——
The camera switches to the hillside in the center of the island.
Luffy ran all the way and soon arrived here.
He saw Buggy on the top of the mountain at a glance.
And the grave in front of Buggy.
There was also a rapier in front of the tombstone.
That was Shanks’s sword.
It was called “Griffin”.
Seeing the scene in front of him.
Luffy slowed down his pace 0 …
Walked silently to the tombstone.
Standing beside Buggy.
He did not talk to Buggy.
Baki seemed to have not sensed Luffy’s arrival.
Still staring at the tombstone of Shanks in front of him, lost in thought.
On the top of the mountain.
A breeze blew by.
It seemed that someone was sobbing quietly.
The straw hat on Luffy’s head was slightly lifted by the breeze.
Luffy stood in front of Shanks’ tombstone.
He didn’t cry.
He didn’t make a fuss.
Just watched it all in silence.
He had already experienced the death of a close person.
It seemed that he had learned to hide all the sad emotions deep in his heart.
After a while.
Luffy slowly raised his hand…
Took off the straw hat on his head.
Then took a step forward.
Gently covered the straw hat on Shanks’ tombstone.
“Shanks, as agreed…”
“I will return this straw hat to you now.”
“I’m sorry…”
“I’m late…”
After saying these few words in a low voice.
Luffy also sat down on the ground.
Like Buggy, he sat in front of Shanks’ grave.
Staring at the tombstone in front of him, he remained silent.
From beginning to end.
Neither Luffy nor Buggy spoke a single word.
Time flew by.
From morning to noon.
The scorching sun hung high above everyone’s heads.
And it was at this moment.
Above the sea in the distance…
Small black dots slowly emerged.
As time went by.
Those dots also continued to grow in the sight of the crowd.
They turned into warships flying the flags of the Navy Headquarters and the World Government!
Looking around.
There were as many as hundreds of ships!
Obviously.
The army led by the Five Elders…
Here we are!
“The enemy has appeared in sight!”
“Get ready to fight!!!!”
A pirate in charge of reconnaissance at the Cross Guild shouted to everyone on the island.
Suddenly.
Everyone was in high spirits.
Be ready!
Be ready to fight at any time.
Only Luffy and Buggy.
Still sitting in front of Shanks’s grave like statues.
No movement.
On the other side.
On the sea in the distance.
In the cabin of the leading warship.
The Five Elders sat on the sofa.
A circle of heavily armored guards surrounded the room.
The three admirals, Kizaru, Fujitora, and Green Bull, stood in front of the Five Elders.
Kizaru put his hands in his pockets, looking lazy:
“The Straw Hat Pirates and the Cross LordThe alliance has been confirmed.”
“They are all on the island ahead now.”
“It seems that they are waiting for our arrival.”
“It seems that they are not afraid of our strength at all~”
Fujitora closed his eyes and rubbed his hands slowly on the cane sword in his hand.
“The Straw Hat Pirates and the Cross Guild have joined forces, and their strength should not be underestimated.”
“The next war will not be an easy battle for us.”
Green Bull curled his lips and continued:
“Before coming, Marshal Sakaski specifically told me…” 5.2
“We must annihilate all the people in the Straw Hat Pirates and the Cross Guild, and leave no one alive!”
“Although it is a bit difficult, I will definitely try my best! ”
Opposite.
The Five Elders sitting on the sofa nodded slightly.
He said in a deep voice:
“The gunners should all be in place, right?”
“Tell them…”
“Wait for that island to enter our firing range.”
“Immediately launch a round of bombardment on them!”
“Don’t hold back!”
“After the bombardment, the three of you will lead the landing.”
“The Seraphim will also spare no effort to cooperate with you.”
“Remember…”
“Your primary target is the heads of Straw Hat Boy and Buggy the Clown.”
“Don’t worry about the others for now.”
“But you must take the lives of Straw Hat Boy and Buggy the Clown! ”
The Five Elders spoke in turn.
They gave orders to Kizaru and the other two in a cold tone.
The three listened in silence.
After waiting for all the orders from the Five Elders to be issued.
They then slowly retreated and walked out of the cabin.
One hundred warships continued to sail quickly towards the island ahead.
Soon.
The island ahead was within the range of the bombardment.
“Fire!!!”
With an order.
The cannons on the one hundred warships were all aimed at the island ahead.
Fire together!
“Boom!!!”
“Bang!!!”
”
Instantly.
The sound of artillery fire continued to sound.
One after another, black shells were fired instantly.
A perfect arc was swept across the air.
It quickly approached the island in front.
Looking around.
There were tens of thousands of shells in the air!
It was like a violent storm coming quickly.
It seemed to swallow up the entire island!.
