Chapter 173
Retracting his gaze, Roger had only one thought in his mind at this moment.
"We can't fight any more!"
Boom!
The battle between Jiger and Whitebeard continued, and Sengoku joined in. With the joint efforts of the two, Whitebeard was beaten back step by step, until Roger suddenly arrived and split the battlefield with a domineering sword energy.
Whitebeard's face was happy, and he thought Roger had finally regained his fighting spirit, but the first sentence Roger said was,
"Newgate, it's time for us to retreat!"
"Nani!?"
Whitebeard looked incredulous, resisting the urge to punch Roger in the face, and gritted his teeth and said,
"Roger, are you kidding me!?"
Roger turned his head and said in a deep voice,
"The navy's reinforcements have arrived. We can't win at all. If we continue to fight, I don't know how many of our companions will die here!"
As he was speaking, Jiger rushed over again. Roger had no choice but to fight back, shouting,
"Everyone retreat!!!"
The members of Roger's pirate group were stunned when they heard the voice of their captain. Buggy was the first to react. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran towards the Jackson on the shore.
At this moment, he was quite righteous. While running, he did not forget to turn around and shout to Shanks,
"Didn't you hear me, you idiot? Captain Roger said retreat! Don't just stand there!"
Shanks still had no intention of leaving, but ran towards the fishman Sambel who was lying on the ground not far away.
He noticed that Sambel's chest was still rising and falling slightly, so he wanted to take Sambel back to the ship as well.
But because he was so intent on saving people, he missed the best time to retreat.
A large number of navy officers quickly surrounded them, and a vice admiral of the headquarters suddenly blocked Shanks' way forward, raising his leg to kick him.
Shanks hurriedly used his sword to block, but he was obviously not a match for a vice admiral of the headquarters now. Although he managed to protect his vitals, he was still blasted back and fell heavily to the ground.
On the other side, Roger had not been paying attention to the battle since he shouted retreat. While fending off Jiger's attack, he observed his crew members with his peripheral vision. Retreat situation.
When he saw Shanks being knocked to the ground, his expression suddenly changed.
Roger valued Shanks the most, otherwise he would not have given him his straw hat later.
He could not care about Zig, and turned around and rushed to where Shanks was, desperately taking a knife, and shouted Shanks' name anxiously.
This shout made Zig, who was chasing, stop. He glanced in the direction of Shanks, then twisted his body and disappeared into the darkness.
The vice admiral shaved and teleported in front of Shanks, raising his hand to use a finger gun.
At this moment, a dark vortex emerged, and the vice admiral was stunned for a moment, and then stopped moving.
Zig gathered his body, and Shanks was also surprised when he saw Zig, and stood there motionless.
Looking down at Shanks, Zig was silent for a moment, and said lightly,
"It's too early for you to enter this battlefield."
Behind him, Roger was rushing over and roaring,
"Black Dragon! I'm here to fight you! Don't touch him!"
He released his Conqueror's Haki to the maximum extent, and the vice admiral of the headquarters next to Jiger rolled his eyes and fainted.
Jiger didn't even turn his head, but just gently raised his foot and pressed it against Shanks' abdomen. Shanks blinked his eyes, and before he could figure out what was going on, his body was sent out by a huge force.
Buggy, who had just boarded the Jackson, breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head, turned around and said to himself,
"Shanks is an idiot! He doesn't know......"
Before Buggy finished speaking, a dark shadow continued to grow in his pupils.
Bang!
Shanks shook his dizzy head and muttered,
"I feel dizzy......."
He only felt something soft under his body, and subconsciously reached out to touch it, and pinched a ball-like object, and then a weak voice sounded from under his buttocks.
"Get off me, bastard!......"
Shanks was startled and realized that it was Buggy who was under him and that he had pinched Buggy's big red nose. He quickly jumped off Buggy and helped him up.
Buggy glared at Shanks and said,
"You are so good! I didn’t know you were so fast. I was still worried about you!"
"What a speed! I was kicked up by the black dragon!"
""Ah? He saved you again!?"
Shanks didn’t say anything. This time he really felt the special attitude of Zig towards him.
The cold and inhumane navy spared the life of a nobody like him and even sent him away from the battlefield.
Shanks even suspected that Zig deliberately made him fall on Buggy, as if he was afraid that he would get hurt and found a meat cushion for him. What surprised Shanks the most was that he witnessed Zig killing Jabba with his own eyes, but when Zig appeared in front of him just now, he didn’t have much hatred for Zig in his heart. Instead, he felt more of a kind of….....Friendly?
At this moment, his mind was full of Jig, and he even forgot that his Captain Roger was still fighting with Jig below.
When Jig kicked Shanks out, Roger arrived. When he felt that Shanks was fine, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Jig rushed up again with a knife.
Roger had no intention of fighting at all. He was ready to return to the Jackson immediately after Rayleigh and others broke through.
Whitebeard, who was fighting with Sengoku, also gradually calmed down.
The losses of his pirate group were much more severe than those of Roger's pirate group. If he continued to fight, he would really become a lonely old man.
Thinking of this, he sent an earthquake punch to knock Sengoku away, then took a deep breath and shouted the order to retreat.
With his shout, the morale of the pirates completely collapsed. Led by Marco and others, they all rushed towards the Moby Dick.
Whitebeard kept using shock waves to help his sons break through, but during this period, many pirates were chopped down and captured by the navy who caught up with them during the breakout.
On Roger's pirate group, Rayleigh fought and retreated, and finally joined Barrett. The two worked together to force Akainu and others to retreat, and then went to help Roger.
Zig was the C in the whole game. His right arm was still aching. Seeing Rayleigh and Barrett rushing over, he flapped his wings and flew high into the sky. After a few flips, he landed in front of Sengoku and others who had rushed over.
Kuma immediately stepped forward and used his ability to help Zig eject the"pain" in his body.
Roger and Whitebeard took this opportunity to jump back to their own ships.
Compared with before they came, there were obviously fewer people on the ship, and the remaining people were also listless.
They lost.
