Chapter 89: Roger the Troublemaker, G-40 Fortress Annihilated
So regarding Roger, Hades couldn't feel any goodwill towards him; he was completely a troublemaker.
Is something like the Void Century very important?
It's not important at all.
The Kronos Kingdom is probably clear on what happened during that period, they just don't know the detailed inside story.
Although it might cause a certain blow to the World Government, what use is that? Due to the existence of the World Nobles, the World Government's authority still exists, but it's not exactly good.
Eight hundred years have passed, what's the meaning of tracing back past events? History is written by the victors! Pursuing elusive history is less practical than continuously weakening the World Government.
For example, how terrible an impact did the Great Pirate Era cause? The idea of being reborn in destruction and reshaping the structure of Great Sea is simply too ridiculous.
Many people on this Great Sea don't have a high education level, especially those with a commoner background like Roger.
Roger might not be aware, but he inadvertently disrupted the long-term plan of superpowers like the Kronos Kingdom and various World Government hostile forces, causing untold losses.
This is a fact! It's no wonder Roger's future reputation is so bad.
Besides Pirate, he offended all Faction, including those that could have been friends.
The World Government's foundation is so terrifying, how could it be eliminated in one go? Proceeding step by step, weakening it little by little, is the right path.
Moreover, the Great Pirate Era did not cause substantial damage to the World Government.
Instead, some Kingdom couldn't hold on and became World Government Member Nation, contributing more Heavenly Tribute.
The Rocks Pirates clearly could have caused greater damage to the World Government, but they didn't achieve the results they wanted.
If Roger and Garp hadn't suppressed Rocks, the Core Cadre of the Rocks Pirates might not have betrayed him.
What great achievements that would have been!
Rocks D.
Xebec is the backbone of the Rocks Pirates.
Once he fell into decline, the entire foundation of the Rocks Pirates would show cracks.
The establishment and development of the Rocks Pirates were built on the basis of Rocks' invincible strength.
When morale collapsed, everything was over.
For himself, and for the Kronos Kingdom, Hades was naturally on the opposing side of the World Government.
Scheming against the World Government was something he had to do, and helping the Rocks Pirates grow stronger was also something he needed to promote.
Compared to the World Government, Rocks' threat wasn't significant.
For Hades and other major powers, there were too many ways to make the Rocks Pirates collapse.
What's more, the fact that the Rocks Pirates could develop to this extent was originally due to their promotion.
As for Rocks D.
Xebec, if three Top Tier Combatant from the Marines weren't enough, then make it five.
If five weren't enough, then make it nine.
Besides, when Rocks died or grew old, the era would ultimately belong to them.
In short, the appearance of the Roger Pirates in the future battle at God Valley was a key node, and Hades had already taken note of it.
In an unfamiliar Sea Area, a pirate ship sailed rapidly across Great Sea.
"Ah-choo!"
The young Roger couldn't help but sneeze.
"Who's talking bad about me?"
"Is the Captain getting weak, haha!"
The Crewmate nearby laughed mockingly.
"Don't you guys know my strength?"
Roger retorted, showing off his muscles.
"This is bad, Captain! That guy Garp is catching up!"
The Crewmate on the Mast lookout shouted.
This made the faces of all members of the Roger Pirates change.
"That dog nose, how is he so fast?"
"Run! Run!"
Twenty-five-year-old Roger, who had been at sea for four or five years, was already a Pirate with considerable reputation, but compared to the Rocks Pirates, he was very insignificant.
The time spent tempering was too short.
Currently, Roger and Garp had a significant gap in strength.
Facing Garp's pursuit, they could only keep running.
Sometimes, Garp even deliberately let them go.
The Patrol Ship of G-40 Fortress was destroyed, without even a chance to send a message.
The massive Great Fleet of the Rocks Army, without any obstruction, charged towards G-40 Fortress.
"This is bad."
Geddes Muller, the Base Commander of G-40 Fortress, frowned, the unease in his heart growing stronger.
He had already received the news that the Patrol Ship had lost contact.
Every five minutes, the Patrol Ship and the Fortress would communicate.
When the Patrol Ship lost contact, it meant something was about to happen.
"Evacuate quickly! Everyone evacuate G-40 Fortress and report to the Marines."
Facing the Rocks Pirates, running away wasn't shameful.
What was important was reducing losses.
Only by achieving unity could they truly resist the Rocks Pirates.
Fleet Admiral Black had specifically emphasized this point to them.
However, it was already too late.
"The Rocks Pirates are here."
The next piece of news made Geddes Muller freeze in place, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
However, he quickly reacted, straightening his back.
In front of his subordinates, at such a critical moment, as an officer, he wasn't allowed to show a cowardly expression.
However, this situation didn't last long.
Terrifying despair spread throughout the entire Navy Fortress.
His entire heart sank to the bottom.
Because they discovered that what they were about to face was the strongest Legion of the Rocks Pirates, the Legion personally led by Rocks D.
Xebec.
"Golden Lion" Shiki had long been impatient and descended above G-40 Fortress, blocking any chance for them to escape.
"Report to Headquarters."
Vice Admiral Geddes Muller ordered his Adjutant beside him, then wore a look of determination.
"Even if we die, we must die in battle!"
Geddes Muller's firm belief seemed to infect the surrounding Marines.
Morale was thus lifted, and every single Marine was ready to fight to the death.
It looked tragic and heroic, but it was useless.
Under absolute strength, everything is nothing.
With the arrival of the Rocks Pirates, G-40 Fortress's powerful firepower and impenetrable defenses were like nothing.
The Marines of G-40 Fortress were like lambs targeted by a pack of wolves.
In just ten minutes, they were slaughtered completely.
Vice Admiral Geddes Muller died in battle! Facing the siege by several Great Pirate, he was powerfully killed, without even the ability to resist.
The Rocks Pirates were pressed for time and had no time to waste on one Marine.
The entire Fortress was plundered clean.
Valuable items and powerful munitions were all looted.
It's worth mentioning that Titan transformed into Taotie and swallowed the Marine Warships docked at the Port one bite at a time.
This scene stunned quite a few Pirate.
However, to maintain mystery, Titan was still shrouded in poison mist, even though it wasn't a secret that Titan was a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit User.
According to the Rocks Pirates' plunder rules, except for treasure which needed distribution, everything else belonged to whoever got it.
Of course, you could also plunder; everything was decided by strength.
However, who would dare to plunder things from Hades? The strong didn't need to, and the weak didn't dare to offend him.
