World Government's Reaction
"President, this is Big News. Our World Economic News Agency should report it. Otherwise, wouldn't we be betraying our profession?"
Morgans spoke excitedly. He did not care about anything else; as long as it was Big News, it had to be reported. That was simply in his nature.
"You're right, Morgans, but before doing something this dangerous, we need to make our escape first. Come on, we're leaving now."
Mensa said approvingly after hearing Morgans.
He had been grooming Morgans as his heir because he valued his love and passion for the news.
After saying that, Mensa immediately took Morgans away from the island. Once they were far enough away, he remotely ordered his subordinates by phone to release the news.
As for that island, Mensa had already abandoned it.
"President, where are we going?"
Morgans asked excitedly.
"To the New World. The World Government's reach into the New World is still limited, so we'll be safe there."
Mensa said.
"Rocks Pirates Sweep Through New World Kingdoms!!!"
"Rocks Pirates Defeat the Marines, Becoming the Great Sea's Strongest Force!"
"World's Strongest Man Rocks Declares War on the World Government!"
"Rocks Pirates New Officer Li Yuan Defeats a Marine Admiral!!"
"."
News of the Rocks Pirates plundering numerous World Government Affiliated Nations and decisively defeating the Marines spread through newspapers across nearly the entire world the following day.
This allowed the people of the Pirate World to truly understand the terror and savagery of the Rocks Pirates.
Even the once-lofty nobles and kings had been killed by the Rocks Pirates.
Powerful World Government Affiliated Nations had been invaded by the Rocks Pirates and even wiped out. Even the Marines had been defeated; one could only imagine just how powerful the Rocks Pirates had become.
Holy Land Mary Geoise:
"Damn Mensa! He actually dared to ignore our warning. Immediately dispatch CP and eliminate him!"
Five Elder Saint Saturn said angrily.
"CP has just sent word. Mensa escaped. The only ones left at the base were a few abandoned pawns."
Justice God Saint Warcury said.
"What we should be considering now is how to deal with the Rocks Pirates. Nearly all the Affiliated nations, especially those in the New World, are demanding that we eliminate the Rocks Pirates threat. Otherwise, they will reduce or even refuse to pay next year's Celestial Gold. The Rocks Pirates have already become a threat to the World Government."
Finance God Saint Nusjuro said.
The World Government was made up of Affiliated nations and served as the tool through which the Celestial Dragons ruled the world.
The funds that kept the World Government running came from the annual Celestial Gold paid by the World Government Affiliated Nations.
After collecting the Celestial Gold from the Affiliated nations, the World Government had to fulfill its corresponding duties, such as protecting the safety of the World Government Affiliated Nations.
Now, the Rocks Pirates were openly attacking World Government Affiliated Nations in the New World. It was undoubtedly a vicious slap across the World Government's face.
If the World Government did not take appropriate measures, it would lose all face and might even provoke backlash from the various World Government Affiliated Nations.
"Destroying the entire Rocks Pirates will be extremely difficult, but Rocks is their core. As long as Rocks himself is killed, the entire Rocks Pirates will collapse in an instant and cease to be a concern."
Justice God Saint Warcury said.
"But as you saw, Rocks is extremely strong. Even Brac, Steel-Bone Kong, and Army General Sora Duer joining forces could do nothing to him."
"To ensure Rocks's defeat, we need to deploy at least five Admiral-level experts, and we must also make sure Rocks cannot escape."
"Beyond that, we must restrain the Rocks Pirates' many officers. By that calculation, the forces we would need to commit would be enormous."
Environment God Saint Mars said.
"In that case, deploy another Army General and the Army Marshal, as well as a commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief. Have the relevant personnel formulate a plan and cooperate with the Marines to eliminate the Rocks Pirates."
Science Defense God Saint Saturn said.
"Agreed!!"
"Agreed!!"
"Agreed!!"
"."
Marine Headquarters:
This battle with the Rocks Pirates had cost the Marines more than six thousand elite soldiers. More than ten thousand had set sail, yet fewer than four thousand returned!!
This made many Marines truly feel the terror of the Rocks Pirates. In merely a battle lasting a little over a day, their losses had been so severe.
If it continued, there was no doubt that nearly every Marine would leave their life there.
"We Marines lost this battle against the Rocks Pirates. Since we lost, we must admit it, find the reason for our defeat, and make up for it. When we face the Rocks Pirates again in the future, I hope the ones who emerge victorious will be us Marines!"
Fleet Admiral Brac broke the oppressive silence.
"Based on the battle analysis, this Marine defeat was caused by our severe lack of top-tier combat power. The Rocks Pirates officers are all extremely powerful. Aside from Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr, who could contend with those monstrous officers, the other Vice Admirals could not even hold the Rocks Pirates officers back, let alone match them!!"
Steel-Bone Kong said gravely.
According to their original plan, the three Admiral-level fighters would deal with Rocks while the other Marines held off the Rocks Pirates. To be safe, they had even brought Gokai, a former Marine Admiral.
Yet they had still suffered such a complete defeat.
"Among the Rocks Pirates, Rocks is not the only monster. Those other officers are monsters as well. Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, and Li Yuan are all very young and still possess enormous potential. That is the most terrifying part."
"Once they grow, none of them will be weaker than an Admiral. When that time truly comes, it will be the peak of the Rocks Pirates!!"
Tsuru analyzed calmly.
"Isn't that easy? Before they grow up, just capture them and throw them into Impel Down."
Garp said carelessly.
Upon hearing Garp's words, the other Marine higher-ups all turned to look at him.
"Cough, cough. What Garp said may have been blunt, but it is useful."
Sengoku, seated beside Garp, said through gritted teeth.
"Among the Rocks Pirates officers, the one who has yet to fully grow is Li Yuan. Although he defeated Gokai and possesses extremely formidable swordsmanship, he is still very young. He is the most suitable target for us to strike at successfully."
Brac said.
