Chapter 174
Zig stood on the shore, looking at Whitebeard and the Roger Pirates who were getting farther and farther away on the sea, with white light flashing on his body.
Whitebeard on the Moby Dick was so impressed by this scene that he went straight to the bow, bent his arms, and his muscles began to swell.
The next second, Zig and Whitebeard exploded at the same time, and the repulsive force and shock wave collided with each other, causing huge waves on the sea.
When the waves dissipated, a large amount of sea water exploded in the air and fell like raindrops.
In this rain curtain, Zig and Whitebeard looked at each other across the sea.
After a moment, Zig smiled contemptuously, turned around gracefully, and his navy cloak fluttered.
Behind him were all the navy officers and soldiers. Zephyr was supported by Kizaru, and his eyes were full of relief when he looked at Zig.
Zig's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice,
"Thank you for your hard work, victory belongs to the Navy! Justice will prevail!"
As soon as these words came out, the navy officers and soldiers were all excited and their faces were red. They all had more or less injuries on their bodies, but they still raised their hands and shouted vigorously.
Zig didn't like to overemphasize casualties. In his opinion, mourning is the first thing the losing side should consider after the war, while the winning side should celebrate and enjoy.
Mourning is a matter of later, and then providing the families of the fallen soldiers with the most adequate material support is the most practical.
Zig didn't want to see a situation like the top war. It was obviously a victory for the navy, but that idiot Coby came out to mess up the situation, making the navy look like they had lost the battle, and each one of them was like an eggplant hit by frost.
At this moment, Roger and the Whitebeard Pirates seemed to be shrouded in a shadow.
Roger stood silently in front of the crew. The casualties had been counted. Including Jabba, a total of seven people in their pirate group were killed.
You know, there are only about thirty people in their pirate group, and this time almost one-third of them were killed.
At this moment, in addition to sadness, he felt more guilty.
Roger admitted that he was too proud and he overestimated himself. , underestimated the opponent.
Originally, he thought that the navy would not dare to provoke him and the Whitebeard Pirates, but the fact was a loud slap in his face.
Just as Jiger said, the chase between him and Garp before was really just playing a game. He played this game for too long, so that he ignored the terror of the navy.
The navy is the most powerful force on this sea. It targets pirates all over the world, not a certain pirate group.
After paying the price of the lives of seven companions, Roger finally realized this.
Roger sighed heavily, and was about to speak to comfort the crew when a cry suddenly came.
The cry came from the Moby Dick next to them.
Their two pirate groups have been keeping pace with each other during the retreat. The Jackson and the Whitebeard Pirates' main ship, the Moby Dick, are very close.
At this time, the Moby Dick was full of the wailing of pirates.
Kozuki Toki held Momonosuke's headless body, and she leaned on Oden, who was only half left, with tears in her eyes.
Marco walked silently to Whitebeard and whispered,
"Dad, let me try again, maybe your face can be restored."
Whitebeard's face was full of pain, he waved his hands weakly, and said,
"No need, Marco. Go help treat the others."
Marco raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, nodded, and turned to look for other wounded.
Swish!
Roger suddenly jumped onto the Moby Dick. The Whitebeard Pirates around him just glanced at him and looked away. The scene was completely different from the last time Roger came here.
After all, the casualties of the Whitebeard Pirates this time were too heavy.
Whitebeard was in no mood to talk to Roger. He turned back to the cabin and took out a large barrel of wine, then returned to the deck and drank it by himself.
Roger walked up to Whitebeard and said,
"Newgate, let's have a chat."
Whitebeard finished the wine in the barrel in one gulp and said,
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Roger glanced at Oden, hesitated for a moment and said,
"Can.....Lend me Kozuki Oden."
Crack!
The barrel in Whitebeard's hand was instantly crushed to pieces. He reached back with his other hand, grabbed the Kusukumoki who was lying behind him, and immediately slashed at Roger.
Roger lowered his head, sat cross-legged on the ground, and seemed to have no intention of dodging.
Kusukumoki finally hovered over Roger's head. Whitebeard's teeth were clattering, and he squeezed out a word from between his teeth,
""Get lost!"
Roger raised his head and looked into Whitebeard's eyes. His words made Whitebeard's face change drastically.
"Newgate, I am dying!"......
After Jig and the others returned to Marineford, they were immediately treated like heroes.
Soon, under the vigorous propaganda of the World Government, a newspaper spread throughout the world.
The newspaper directly defined Jig as a"legendary navy", and his deeds were to force the Whitebeard Pirates and Roger Pirates into a desperate situation.
Xiong, Lucia, Ginny and others were all awarded the rank of vice admiral.
Among them, Akainu and Kizaru were directly listed as candidates for admiral.
The reward Jig received was quite funny, billions of Baileys, which made Kizaru very envious.
Of course, Jig himself didn't care much about the monetary reward of these melons and two juicy fruits. He gave Kizaru and others a part of it, and the rest was all used for pensions for the fallen soldiers.
Jig's actions and his achievements this time pushed his reputation in the navy to the peak.
Kong also noticed this. To be honest, if Jig was not too young, he really planned to give the position of Navy Admiral to Jig.
Because the World Government had conveyed his intention to him and intended to let him take the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies.
But Jig himself was not in a hurry. He still had plenty of time, and considering his current reputation in the navy, it didn't matter whether he became a navy marshal earlier or later.
After staying in the headquarters for a while, Jig asked the technology department to build a speedboat for him. The appearance was very similar to Ace's, and the power source was the same, both relying on fire.
But Jig's speedboat looked bigger and more luxurious.
Jig had long wanted to take a vacation, so he decided to take this speedboat for a solo trip.
When the speedboat was built, Jig put it in his dark Bible, and then accompanied by Lucia and others, he went to the beach and threw the speedboat into the sea.
Then, Jig jumped and landed steadily on the speedboat.
The flames spread along his body to the power compartment of the speedboat, bursting out at an astonishing speed, breaking through the sea and rushing out, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
