Chương 1530: On top of the war (142)

Despite their misgivings about this ship from the Rockefeller kingdom, there was no other choice.

They gritted their teeth, as if grasping at the last straw, and swam towards the Gold without hesitation.

Every stroke was done with all the strength in the hope of getting on board the seemingly out-of-reach boat as quickly as possible and having a glimmer of hope for survival.

There was a sound of splashing water, and several people were seen holding tightly onto Luffy and Ace, two people with the power of Devil Fruits, and swimming desperately towards the Gold with all their might.

Their actions quickly attracted the attention of the Rockefeller family members on the Gold.

At this time, the slightly younger Brian was lying on the side of the boat, his eyes wide open, looking at the Whitebeard Pirates who were struggling to move forward in the hail of bullets and swimming closer and closer, and shouted anxiously: "Sister, they are swimming towards us, what should we do?"

Daisy, who was standing nearby, frowned slightly after hearing her brother's cry. She turned to look at Rachel, who was also looking worried, and said, "Dad told us not to interfere in this fierce battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy!"

After hearing this, Rachel's originally beautiful face couldn't help but frown, and even her face, which was always full of heroic spirit, showed a trace of confusion.

Just like that, they could only watch as the pirates from the Whitebeard Pirates gradually approached the Gold where they were.

At this moment, the navy on the shore also discovered this situation. Upon seeing this, an officer immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Open fire quickly! Don't let them get close to the Gold!"

After receiving the order, those turrets that were still able to operate normally began to quickly adjust the direction of their guns, aiming at the members of the Whitebeard Pirates who were swimming hard on the sea.

Immediately afterwards, a series of deafening roars sounded—"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!"

Powerful shells hit the sea like raindrops.

Along with the huge waves stirred up by the shells falling into the water, there were also shocking flowers of blood that suddenly bloomed on the sea.

"Be sure to protect Ace and Luffy!"

With a roar, the remaining one hundred or so crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates stepped forward without hesitation.

However, the firepower they possessed was far inferior to that of the powerful navy.

The navy's shells rained down on the sea, splashing huge water drops, trying to stop the Whitebeard Pirates' advance.

At this critical moment, Rachel's face suddenly became solemn.

She suddenly swung her right hand upwards, and in an instant, a dazzling light flashed, and a spear made of pure gold appeared in her hand.

Rachel's eyes were sharp, she held the spear tightly in both hands, and rushed straight towards the incoming shells in a flash.

There was a loud "bang" and the shells exploded in the air. Thick smoke spread like a dark cloud above the Golden.

"Damn it! These damn navy dared to attack us!"

David and some other young and energetic guys saw this and immediately became furious and started shouting.

At the same time, the navy also noticed the exploded shell.

"Asshole! Who is firing recklessly? Aim at the Whitebeard Pirates and don't hurt anyone from the Rockefeller family by mistake!"

A major general shouted angrily.

While he was scolding his soldiers, he was secretly observing the reactions of the Rockefeller family members on the Golden with fear and trepidation.

Rachel stood there quietly, her brows slightly frowned, with no expression on her face. She neither reprimanded the navy nor took any further action.

Seeing this, the rear admiral couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and prayed silently in his heart that no more trouble would be caused.

However, in this brief moment of distraction, the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates displayed amazing speed and agility.

They hugged Ace and Luffy tightly and swam towards the Gold as fast as an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived under the Gold and began to climb along the hull.

"not good!"

When the rear admiral saw this scene, he was horrified and quickly stopped the soldiers who were firing.

He knew very well that if he continued firing at this time, it would lead to unpredictable consequences.

"Quick! Report the situation here to Marshal Zhan Guo immediately, and ask him to give further instructions!"

The Rear Admiral's face was solemn, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Faced with such an unexpected situation, he did not dare to act rashly and could only give orders decisively.

Whether to declare war on the Rockefeller family was not something that a small major general like him could decide.

As soon as the words fell, a clever messenger immediately responded and rushed out like a gust of wind to deliver this urgent military information.

There was a loud "clang" as the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates successfully carried Ace and Luffy over the railing of the Gold and landed steadily on the deck.

In an instant, more than a dozen gazes were cast at the same time, like sharp arrows, piercing directly at the few people who had just stepped onto the deck.

The captain of the Whitebeard Pirates standing at the front, without any hesitation, knelt on his knees with a plop, and then slowly knelt towards Rachel and others in an almost humble manner.

Every step seemed so heavy and firm, as if carrying the hope and destiny of the entire Whitebeard Pirates.

When he was about ten steps away from Rachel, the captain threw himself to the ground without hesitation, his whole body lying on the deck, kneeling on the ground in the most pious posture.

His forehead hit the hard wooden board heavily, making a crisp sound, but he seemed to feel no pain at all. He just cried and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Please, save Ace! As long as we can save his life, our Whitebeard Pirates are willing to pay any price, even if it means we will be torn to pieces!"

The tragic cries echoed on the empty deck, making people feel sad and moved.

"team leader!"

When the other crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates saw this, their eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in their eyes, and they cried out in sorrow.

Then, they knelt on their knees without hesitation and kowtowed to the Rockefeller family.

The dull sounds of impact echoed in the air, as if striking the hearts of everyone present.

This sudden scene stunned all the Rockefeller family members on the ship, especially the teenagers who were seventeen or eighteen years old and had little experience in the world. They were dumbfounded.
