Chapter 383: Diverting the Trouble to the East

The pirates came much faster than Xie Wen had imagined.

They had not left Fordwei Tiandao for two days when pirates' spies or scouts appeared near the Toot-Toot Advance, and soon after, a large fleet surrounded them from a distance.

Looking at the pirate flags hanging on those ships, although most of them have not appeared in the comics, they were quite famous in this sea during this period. The captain of the worst pirate group had a bounty of more than 200 million.

In other words, this group of people is guaranteed to be a supernova.

Because Xie Wen's original idea was to lead this group of pirates to the G-5 branch Lavergo to go into the water, he did not let the Toot-Toot Advance switch to the Sky Comet Dragon form, but just slightly turned on the flamethrower, rushed out of the encirclement of the pirates, and then continued to run forward with the pirates...

Although at that time he was not sure whether the next island was where the G-5 branch was located.

Of course, they were not just running away. From time to time, they would let Meowx, Kleemeow, and Shirahoshi, who needed to exercise, fire a few shots at the pursuers. Meowerya would occasionally take out a few new guardians for testing.

By the way, they could also stabilize the hatred of the pirates to prevent any smart people among them from seeing Xie Wen's plan. Whether it was intercepting halfway or running away in advance, it would be a troublesome thing for Xie Wen.

Another point is...

As they chased and fled, more and more pirate ships were hung. If some were not cleared in advance, Vergo might take the G-5 navy and run away directly.

If it was other naval branches, this situation would most likely not happen, but it was really hard to say for the G-5 branch.

Fortunately, this problem did not bother Xie Wen for too long, because...

The Four Emperors Pirate Group appeared.

Although Katakuri and Jack came from different directions, they arrived almost at the same time, and then they tacitly joined forces to attack other competitors.

Some pirates who reacted quickly chose to withdraw immediately after seeing the pirate flags of Big Mom and the Beasts. Some pirates who reacted slowly or refused to give up were directly killed by the two Four Emperors Pirate Groups.

"Tsk! What a pity..."

Xie Wen slapped his thigh with regret.

There are many people with special abilities in that group of pirates. Xie Wen was thinking about using them to open blind boxes when the battle officially started.

But now is obviously not the time to consider these things. The Four Emperors Pirate Group is different from the previous group of pirates. It is not like before, as if they can be dealt with as if they were playing around.

Moreover...

The Four Emperors Pirate Group appeared much earlier than Xie Wen predicted.

In the comics, Robin stayed in the Straw Hat Group for so long, and Big Mom and Kaido did not make any moves. They even ran to their territory later, but did not show any urgent interest in Robin...

Why is it different here?

Could it be that Doflamingo brought some private goods when spreading the news?

Xie Wen, who couldn't figure it out, decisively put the blame on Doflamingo, who had the deepest grudge against him.

On the other side, Katakuri and Jack, who drove away and eliminated other competitors, also reached an agreement after a simple negotiation to capture Nico Robin first and then consider how to distribute it, and then they chased Xie Wen and his team.

Although there was a new wave of pursuers, and the number was greatly reduced, Xie Wen still did not change his plan and continued to drive the Toot Toot Advance towards the direction of the suspected G-5 branch.

Katakuri and Jack naturally chased after them, but the speed of the Toot Toot Advance was not comparable to their ship, and their long-range attack methods such as artillery bombardment were basically useless in front of Link Meow and Xie Wen's counterattacks, plus the weapons with a range far beyond the average level that Meowerya and Meowx had worked together to tinker with...

Not to mention getting close to the Mammoth, the King of Ships, even keeping up was deliberately let go by Xie Wen.

Katakuri's situation was better than Jack's, because his Mochi was faster than the Mammoth, and he could use his powerful observation Haki to foresee Meowx's bombardment.

However, this only made it easier for the Big Mom Pirates, or more precisely, the Mochi, in the process of pursuit, but it was still impossible to catch up with the Toot Tot Advance, which had not yet fully exerted its strength. The other pirate ships that followed him were in a similar situation to the Beasts.

Under the full pursuit of the two Four Emperors Pirates, Xie Wen and his crew quickly arrived near the destination...

"Hahahaha! It's the G-5 branch! Klee, you are the best!"

Xie Wen saw the distinctive naval base on the island from a distance, as well as the huge "G-5" painted on the wall, and immediately smiled and hugged the little puppet and kissed it.

"Yeah, yeah! Klee is awesome!"

(=`=)

The little puppet was not modest either. Following Xie Wen's words, he shook his head proudly and waved his paws to brag.

While Xie Wen was rushing to the G-5 branch with two "big surprises", Vergo also recovered from his shock. Especially after seeing Xie Wen's "Toot Forward", he immediately understood the situation...

But he didn't know whether the other party brought the pirates here on purpose or fled all the way here.

But in any case, it was inevitable that he would be involved.

"Damn Blue Star!"

Vergo cursed, and then quickly mobilized the navy in the base.

Just as Xie Wen guessed, he did have the idea of ​​running away with the navy, but with a flash of inspiration from Vergo, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be able to snatch Nico Robin in the chaos.

Although he still didn't understand the specific arrangement of Tian Yasha, it was better to control Nico Robin in the hands of their Don Quixote family than to be taken by Xie Wen, right?

So under Vergo's order, warships drove out of the port one after another, blocking a line of defense in front of Xie Wen and his men.

"Xie Wen! Those navy seem to be planning to attack us together, meow!"

Sanji, who was responsible for lookout on the mast, shouted meow.

"Hehe, I guessed it would be like this!"

Xie Wen didn't think Vergo would honestly fight the Four Emperors Pirates with him, but it was even more impossible for him to join forces with Katakuri and Jack, so attacking them together was the most likely scenario.

At worst, Vergo would say that he didn't recognize him or that it was a tactical need.

In order to defeat the enemy, Akainu would attack even his own men. When Vergo was fighting the pirates, he "accidentally" attacked Xie Wen, a non-official Shichibukai, so there would be no problem.

And being targeted by the Four Emperors Pirates, whether Xie Wen would be able to hold Vergo accountable afterwards was another matter.

So after the formation of the navy warships was deployed, Vergo gave the order to fire without hesitation. His purpose was certainly not to kill Xie Wen, after all, Nico Robin was still on the Toot Toot Advance.

Vergo was planning to slow down the speed of Xie Wen and his men, forcing him to stop and turn around to lead the charge.

It was a pity that things did not develop as Vergo expected.

Under the surprised gazes of the navy of G-5 branch and the pirates of the Four Emperors Pirates who were chasing behind, the childlike-looking Toot Tot Forward suddenly began to transform.

And while the Toot Tot Forward was transforming, it was also diving underwater, leaving a string of bubbles on the sea surface before disappearing in front of everyone.

But the shells fired by the navy did not have a tracking function, so they continued to whistle across the sea and bombarded the two Four Emperors Pirates that had been following the Toot Tot Forward.
