Atheus was actually worried about whether Dalmatian could defeat Ghost Hand Ross, but Roma and Hez have not come to support him so far, which obviously shows that on the battlefield over there, in addition to Dalmatian, Roma and Hez are assisting him.
Ghost Hand Ross is not a big pirate with a bounty of 230 million berries. A Vice-Admiral who is far stronger than him and two Rear Admiral who are slightly weaker than him, such a lineup is enough.
The only problem is on his side.
Although Laffitte's strength in a frontal battle is not much stronger than his, the other party uses strange means to make him consume a lot of stamina and his injuries are not light. If he continues to fight, he will not be Laffitte's opponent and he can only delay time.
However, the Battle over there is over. As long as he drags on here a little bit, he will be able to deal with it in a short time.
Thinking so, he stared at Laffitte and continued to attack.
But.
Almost at this moment, a voice suddenly came.
"Not finished yet, Laffitte."
"I'm very sorry, it's still a little bit, Captain."
Laffitte turned his head and spoke apologetically in the direction of the sound.
Atheus's expression froze.
He turned his head stiffly and when he saw Ross's figure, he could no longer keep calm in his heart and his eyes showed an incredible look.
How is it possible!
How could Ghost Hand Ross appear here? Aren't Vice-Admiral Dalmatian and Roma working together to besiege him? How did they let him come here?!
A terrible idea emerged in his mind, but he couldn't believe it at all. But there was nothing behind Ross. Dalmatian and Roma did not appear and they did not chase after him.
"I say, you seem to be distracted."
Laffitte's voice interrupted his thoughts. He didn't know when Laffitte appeared beside him, holding the mahogany cane and stabbing it towards his heart.
Atheus dodged in a panic, but it was too late. Although he avoided the heart, his chest was still pierced by Laffitte's mahogany cane.
"…"
Atheus suddenly understood why Headquarters was so serious when they issued the order and even said that they could suspend the attack and join forces with the forces of the two branches to encircle and suppress them.
At that time, Dalmatian and a group of Rear Admirals thought it was unnecessary. Now it seems that they miscalculated and misjudged the strength of the Ghost Hand Pirates.
Although there are not many people in the Ghost Hand Pirates and there are only three official crew members, their strength cannot be measured by the number of people alone!
"Goodbye."
Laffitte pulled out his cane, tilted it slightly, and thrust it forward again. The cane accurately pierced through Atheus' heart. When he pulled it out again, Atheus' body slowly fell to the ground.
Watching the last Marine Rear Admiral fall to the ground, Ross showed a touch of thought. Maybe he can organize the Observation Haki notes into a practice method and give it to Robin and Laffitte.
…
Marine headquarters.
In an office near the top floor, three Headquarters Lieutenant Generals sat on a chair and a sofa respectively. One of them was Doberman, while the other two were Momonga and Yamakaji.
"The people of Dalmatian have found the Ghost Hand Pirates and they should have already started … Is it unstable to let the G8 branch base be responsible for the Ghost Hand Pirates alone?"
Yamakaji sat there and asked Doberman on the other side.
Before Doberman answered, Momonga, who had been closing his eyes, opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The strength of Dalmatian is not far from ours. This time, they mobilized three Rear Admirals in the base. This is the most prudent response."
Doberman said in a deep voice: "It will take at least a month for other nearby branch bases to reach the sea area that the G8 branch is responsible for. If we wait, the possibility of accidents will be greater. Now we can only look at the G8 branch. I hope Dalmatian will not let us down." “
If it wasn't too far away, Doberman wouldn't mind going out to deal with Ross himself, but it would take at least two months for him to lead his army from Headquarters to find Ross.
Therefore, it is the best choice for the G8 branch to dispatch troops and finish the battle quickly.
Waiting.
The Den Den Mushi on the desk rang and the expressions of the three Headquarters Vice-Admirals instantly became serious. Doberman walked to the desk and picked up the microphone to answer.
"This is Headquarters Vice-Admiral Doberman."
"…"
Clang!
This is the sound of the microphone falling on the red oak table and the collision with the table echoed in the quiet office.
Momonga and Yamakaji were both stunned.
"What's wrong?"
"…"
Doberman's fingers were trembling slightly and he didn't know if he was angry or shocked. The expression on his face was indescribable and he fell back a step.
Momonga and Yamakaji saw this and they guessed that something big had happened. Their faces changed. Momonga stood up and stepped over to take the microphone that had fallen on the table.
At the same time, Yamakaji came to Doberman. "Is it the annihilation of the Ghost Hand Pirates? Did the encirclement fail? "
"…"
Doberman seemed to use all his strength to suppress the surging emotions in his heart and went to the sofa next to him. He was in an extremely unstable state. "The encirclement failed. Dalmatian and three Rear Admirals were all killed."
When he used an extremely suppressed and gloomy tone to recite the information he had just heard, a trace of uncontrollable emotion suddenly surged in his heart.
Why?
Why did things get to this point?
Obviously, he was just a nobody. At first, he didn't care about him at all, but he was unexpected again and again, out of control again and again, and now, even he began to feel helpless.
Colonel Moby told him that the situation was under control, Rear Admiral Bastille told him that Ghost Hand Ross would soon be sent to Enies Lobby for trial, Onigumo told him that he would be back soon, and Dalmatian told him that he would not give the Ghost Hand Pirates any chance …
Inexplicably.
He thought of what Ross had said from West Blue.
"Although I'm just an insignificant person right now, and you might not even care about me, please remember what I said."
"Your actions today determine the future direction of this sea."
"I hope that one day in the future, you will not regret the order issued today, because it is too late."
The words relayed by the Major of the branch echoed in his ears, making him seem to see Ross standing in front of him, with a calm face, with a calm tone, stating this sentence.
Regret?
Doberman was in a trance for a moment, but after all, he was a Headquarters Vice-Admiral. In the next moment, he recovered and his eyes became clear again.
Yes, I do regret that I didn't pay attention to it earlier, I didn't send Onigumo to West Blue earlier, I didn't destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates at sea earlier.
"Doberman … we need to initiate a meeting."
When Momonga finished listening to the report on the other side of Den Den Mushi, he hung up Den Den Mushi and was silent for a moment. He turned to look at Doberman, took a deep breath and spoke with a serious expression.
Doberman and Momonga looked at each other and finally nodded, and Yamakaji sighed and nodded: "I will report to the top."
