Chapter 165 Encounter Outside Rogue Town(1/2)
About a week later.
Taking advantage of the convenient route across the windless zone, the warship officially entered the East China Sea and was getting closer and closer to Noxia's hometown, "Chaili Island" where Branch 16 is located.
These days, Nuo Xia basically spends most of his time in the training room.
Now, he has set the gravity threshold of the "negative gravity field" to 15 times;
Coupled with the buff accumulation of the practice accelerator card, I have never encountered any decent bottlenecks during practice, and my strength has been improving in an orderly manner at a speed far exceeding that of others.
Occasionally, he would also talk to Peach Rabbit Shia.
Taotu had already finished her vacation, and with her old subordinates who had been with her for many years, set off for the first branch of Xihai to take over the position of base commander. Now she was waiting for him, her deputy, to rush over early to "assist in the great cause".
During the phone call, she complained that on the last night before Nosha left the headquarters, the battle was too serious, but it was also long-lasting and intense, lasting more than ten hours from dusk to dawn.
As a result, her legs were sore and her body was weak until now.
Nuo Xia was speechless and could only scratch her head and laugh shyly.
On Shia's side, the situation is a bit more complicated.
Her eldest brother died of a serious illness, and the only reliable heir to the Lot Kingdom was gone. The remaining older princes and princesses were all used to being playboys and could not stand on the stage at all.
In the words of the old king, it seemed that he intended to let Shia ascend to the throne and become the first heir.
"Perhaps I should call you Her Majesty the Queen from now on?"
On the phone, Nuo Xia teased Xia like this.
"...but I don't want to be a queen."
The phone bug with long blue silky hair lowered his eyelids and said with a depressed expression, "I just want to graduate as soon as possible, and then follow you, Nuo Xia, as an adjutant, secretary or something like that."
…”
secretary?
He only needs this position if he has something to do, and he has nothing to do, so why does he need a secretary?
"Classmate Shia." Noxia said earnestly, "The destiny of Lot Kingdom is closely related to you. You don't want the future of the millions of people under your rule to be ruined in the hands of your incompetent brothers, right?"
"I don't care about these, I just want to be with Nuo Xia."
"Maybe the country will be destroyed."
"If a country that cannot let me accompany Nuo Xia perishes, let it perish."
The girl's voice was decisive.
It's really hopeless.
Nuo Xia suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. If the Lot Kingdom also had historians, wouldn't the role he played in the country's history books be that of Daji and Bao Si?
What a sin.

This journey was quite smooth.
However, on the afternoon of the second day after entering the East China Sea, when the warship passed by Rogge Town, light snow suddenly fell from the sky, and Nuo Xia and his party finally encountered a small situation.
"Major General!"
Nuo Xia, who had just walked out of the training room, was taking the hot water from his subordinates when he heard an exclamation from the watchtower above: "Nine-thirty direction, look!"
Um?
Nuo Xia took the binoculars handed over by his subordinates, looked up, and saw two warships fighting a pirate group in the waters north of Rogge Town.
The size of the pirate group is quite impressive, with eight large ships and a population of at least a thousand people. It is already qualified to be called a "pirate fleet".
The artillery fire continued, and the battle situation had entered a feverish state. With Nosha's eyesight, even from such a distance, it was still not difficult to see that the navy was already at a clear disadvantage.
The subordinates on the deck suddenly looked shocked and surprised.
The Rogge Town branch is responsible for guarding the only route to the Upside Down Mountain and destroying the pirate groups who attempt to go to the Grand Route. In terms of personnel size and overall strength, it is definitely the first among all branches in the East China Sea.
Throughout the East China Sea, the active pirate groups generally just ran away when they saw the navy from the Rogge Town branch.
But where did this pirate group come from? It has the strength to suppress the Rogge Town branch firmly and is at an absolute upper hand?
"Are you going to support me, Major General?"
Some subordinates couldn't help but turned around and asked Nuo Xia.
"Support is definitely needed."
Nuo Xia put down the telescope, with a playful expression on his face, he pinched his chin and said, "But you don't have to go, I can just go there alone."
The moment the words fell.
Whoosh!
His figure suddenly disappeared without a trace on the spot. He rose into the sky with moon steps, crossed the sea, and shot towards the place where the two sides were fighting.
"Already gone?"
"How decisive, Mr. Noxia..."
Everyone on the deck was not worried at all about Nosha leaving alone to join the battle.
After all, they all came from the headquarters and were well-informed. Before they were assigned to become Nosha's subordinates, they were more or less familiar with the young major general's glorious record of defeating the Shichibukai.
For such a strong man, what kind of trouble can a pirate group from the East China Sea make, no matter how strong it is?
There are even subordinates who have begun to pity and sympathize with the pirates. Unfortunately, they bump into their own major general. How many minutes can these unlucky guys last...

at the same time.
The main ship of that pirate fleet.
"Young ones!"
Under the fluttering black pirate flag, a burly man wearing a captain's hat pulled out a scimitar, swung it down, and roared with a ferocious smile:
"We are almost at the distance of the boarding battle. Work harder and get closer! I will use these navy flags from Rogge Town to let the entire East China Sea know that our Giorno Pirates are back!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"
A thunderous response erupted from the eight pirate ships at the same time.
The pirates stared at the warships that were getting closer and closer, with enthusiasm and excitement in their eyes. They wanted to rush forward immediately and slaughter all the sailors on the opposite side.
The Giorno Pirates were just an inconspicuous pirate group in the East China Sea two years ago. They were once encircled and suppressed by the Rogue Town branch, and they finally managed to climb the Upside Down Mountain and enter the Grand Line.
During the two years of working together on the Grand Line, they continued to grow and develop, and now they are no longer what they used to be.
And their captain, Giorno Lin, even ate the spider fruit and was nicknamed "Spider Killer" with a reward of up to 53 million Baileys!
Although two months ago, they ran into a small pirate ship with only three people and were defeated by a red-haired kid wearing a straw hat. They were deeply shocked and finally decided to withdraw from the Grand Line.
But now that they have returned to the East China Sea, they will undoubtedly crush all the pirate groups in this sea area and become the well-deserved top overlord!
And the road to overlord begins right now, completely defeating the garrison in Rogge Town and avenging the revenge of two years ago!
"Damn it, that damn place on the Grand Line is really not a place for people to stay."
Giorno Lin, wearing a captain's hat, looked at the desperate sailors opposite and sneered:
"But I finally came back alive. Now it's your turn to be unlucky..."
When he thought about the wonderful life of being king of the East China Sea and unrivaled in the future, he couldn't help but lick his lips in anticipation.
But at this moment, the sudden screams from the pirates behind him broke his fantasy:
"what is that?"
"It seems like someone is flying in the sky...so fast! He is coming towards us!"
What's going on? Have the navy's reinforcements arrived?
Giorno Lin suddenly turned his head and noticed the figure approaching quickly in the sky, which seemed to be a young black-haired boy. He immediately frowned and snorted in his heart.
——Where did this little devil come from again?
Uncle Giorno was indeed defeated by a teenage red-haired kid before, but that was on the Grand Line! It was not uncommon to encounter any kind of monster.
Now that I'm back in the East China Sea, there is such a little kid who doesn't know the heights of the world, and he is sent up here by himself?
"court death!"
Eight furry spider legs suddenly sprouted from behind, and a large amount of thick white spider silk spewed out in all directions.
Giorno Lin clenched his scimitar tightly, smiled ferociously, stepped on these spider webs, jumped out from the bow of the ship, and slashed at the black-haired boy.
"Oh oh oh oh!!! The captain took action himself!"
"Kill that brat to death, Captain! Let him see the power of our Giorno Pirates!"
A group of pirates were shouting and laughing. It had been a while since they had seen their captain take full action. This black-haired kid probably didn't know what kind of enemy he was facing, right?
"Spider-Man?"
