Chapter 157
Half a month later, with the Navy completely controlling the first half of the New World, the Golden Pirates' flag was mercilessly thrown into the trash.
At this moment, on every island in the first half of the New World, the Navy's white flag was now hanging everywhere.
"Fleet Admiral Kong, according to the latest intelligence from the Intelligence Department," "the Rocks Pirates have already approached our sphere of influence!"
Hearing his aide's words, Steel Bone Kong's expression immediately became serious.
However, there was no fear in his eyes — instead, a strange glint appeared.
Steel Bone Kong also wanted to test the weight of the Rocks Pirates. If their strength didn't pose a threat to him, he wouldn't mind wiping them out in one go.
That way, he would become the greatest figure in the history of the Navy.
The thought of such immense honor made Steel Bone Kong feel his blood boiling.
"Order all Navy Headquarters fleets — follow me to meet the Rocks Pirates."
Steel Bone Kong tossed the intelligence report onto the table and gave the order to his aide with a solemn expression.
He then flicked the Justice cape behind him and strode toward his flagship.
After receiving Steel Bone Kong's command, all Navy forces stationed in the first half of the New World immediately sprang into excited action.
They quickly loaded ammunition and supplies onto the decks of their warships.
They were ready at any moment to follow Fleet Admiral Kong and sweep away all pirates in the New World, bathing the entire sea in the light of Navy justice.
In the main fleet of the Rocks Pirates, a bird-shaped ship was swiftly following the Gibek no Ken ahead as they sailed across the vast sea.
At this moment, Vilin was sitting on a deck chair on the deck.
With his eyes closed, he was digesting the life energy he had absorbed from Steel Island into his body, enhancing his physical condition and cellular strength.
After more than half a month of digestion, Vilin had only processed a small portion.
He estimated it would probably take quite a while before he could fully convert this harvest into his combat power.
Even so, his physical condition had still improved dramatically. It had reached a very good level.
Although he couldn't compare to monsters like Rocks, Linlin, or Newgate, he was no longer very far behind them.
Vilin believed that once he fully digested this absorbed power, he would definitely break through the Quasi-Admiral threshold and become a true Admiral-level powerhouse.
"Ah~"
"The feeling of being filled with power is really nice!"
After finishing today's training, Vilin stood up from the deck chair with a satisfied expression, stretched his arms, and let out a long, comfortable yawn.
Seeing that Vilin had finished his daily training, navigator Sophia's beautiful eyes immediately lit up. She carried a glass of cold drink and walked toward him.
Coming close, she smiled and extended her fair, slender jade hand, handing Vilin a glass of freshly made juice.
"Giggle, you must be tired, right?" "This is specially made for you~" "You have to finish it all."
Seeing Sophia being so considerate, Vilin didn't hold back. He took the juice she offered and drank it in one go.
"The taste is really good — I love it!"
Feeling the refreshing sensation in his mouth, Vilin couldn't help but praise her.
Seeing Vilin liked the juice she made, a beautiful smile bloomed on Sophia's pretty face.
Looking at the juice still lingering at the corner of Vilin's mouth, she couldn't resist extending her long, fair finger and gently wiped it away.
"Hehe!"
"Sophia, you're really becoming more and more feminine."
Hearing Vilin's teasing, Sophia immediately looked at him with a resentful pout and huffed:
"Then why don't you hurry up and claim me already?" "Even Shakky's child is about to be born, but I still don't have any sign of one!"
Hearing Sophia's complaint, Vilin immediately felt a bit embarrassed and scratched his nose.
He wrapped his arm around Sophia's smooth waist and lay back on his personal deck chair, looking seriously into her eyes and said:
"Don't worry — this time when we get back, you won't be able to escape even if you want to."
Hearing Vilin's promise, Sophia's furrowed brows finally relaxed.
With a smile on her lips, she relaxed and lay in Vilin's arms, enjoying the warm sunbathing.
After this journey, Sophia's dream had already come true for the most part.
After witnessing the cruelty of the sea, Sophia also didn't want to struggle anymore.
She planned to return to Cake Island, just like Rouge, Olvia, and the others, bear a child for Vilin, and live the rest of her life peacefully.
"Oh, by the way — we should be reaching the first half of the New World soon, right?"
Hearing Vilin's question, Sophia immediately answered reflexively:
"Yes — three more days of sailing and we should arrive."
"Really?"
"I really want to fight the Navy soon!"
Saying that, Vilin couldn't resist giving Sophia's tempting little rear a pat.
Three days later, the main fleet of the Rocks Pirates finally encountered the Navy fleet on the sea.
"Captain, the Navy has appeared!"
While Vilin was training, he suddenly heard Annie's voice.
This immediately made him stop his weightlifting and walk toward her. Annie looked at Vilin's exposed muscular body, and a shy blush appeared on her pretty face.
Seeing Vilin approach, she quickly reported the intelligence she had scouted.
Hearing Annie's words, Vilin's eyes instantly lit up.
He immediately shouted toward Euros, who was napping:
"Euros, time to work!"
Hearing his father's voice, Euros immediately opened his eyes.
Still sleepy, he transformed into a pair of wind wings and carried Vilin into the high sky.
Flying above the fleet, Vilin immediately took in the situation ahead.
He saw a fleet of dozens of Navy warships blocking the path of the Rocks Pirates' main fleet.
Vilin immediately flapped his wings and landed on the deck of the Gibek no Ken.
Upon landing on the deck, Vilin discovered that Linlin, Newgate, Shiki, and the others had already all gathered here.
Seeing all his executives present, Rocks immediately gave the order to the helmsman:
"Keep sailing!" "Let's go meet this Navy fleet!"
With Rocks' words, the helmsman on the Gibek no Ken immediately steered the ship toward the Navy fleet.
Seeing this scene, Steel Bone Kong's eyebrow twitched slightly.
He then led Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, and other Navy Headquarters Vice Admirals forward as well.
He also wanted to see what trick Rocks was up to.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, the two main ships rapidly sailed across the sea toward each other until they could clearly see each other's faces — only then did they stop.
"Ah hahahahaha!" "Kong, I never expected you to have this kind of courage!" "You actually dared to sneak attack the Golden Pirates while we were attacking the Iron Wall Pirates."
Seeing Kong's tall and robust figure, Rocks immediately mocked him.
