After more than half an hour, the intensity of the battle between Roger and Karp gradually weakened.
The sword and fist collided again. The ice surface shattered, and the two of them instantly separated and stood facing each other.
Looking at the determined Karp, Roger sensed the situation on the battlefield and smiled." Karp, I think we should stop for now. If we continue fighting, your soldiers will probably suffer heavy casualties."”
After listening to Roger's words, Karp could sense the situation on the battlefield. Jabba had already dealt with the navy that surrounded him and had begun to attack the other navies. Karp was very unwilling to accept this, but he also knew that this operation to capture Roger would most likely fail.
Karp clenched his fists, and a look of struggle appeared on his face. After a while, he released his fists, took a deep breath, and made a decision." Roger, it seems that we have failed this time.”
"In that case, let's stop fighting!”
Seeing Karp's decision, Roger was relieved. After all, they had lost a lot of casualties.
Then, before Karp could continue, Roger shouted," Lads, let's stop the battle for now!”
On the battlefield, when the members of Roger's Pirates heard the captain's order, they almost immediately forced the enemy to retreat and retreat.
After Roger shouted, Karp also shouted at Zefa," Zefa, tell everyone to stop. If this continues, the navy will suffer heavy casualties. This time, we have failed!”
After hearing Roger and Karp's words, Hogg and Zefa, who were still fighting fiercely, quickly separated after exchanging a blow.
Standing on a relatively intact piece of ice, Zefa heard that Karp had made a decision. He immediately shouted," Soldiers, stop! Hurry up and treat the wounded!”
Hearing Zefa's words, a portion of the navy soldiers who were prepared to continue attacking immediately revealed an unwilling expression.
"Damn it, we're still too weak!”
"Stop complaining. Let's go treat the injured first!”
......
After shattering a few icicles, Riley smiled at Kuzan, who was panting heavily, and said,"Navy buddy, it seems that your pursuit has failed, but I do recognize your strength."”
Kuzan replied seriously," Mr. Riley, you won't be so relaxed next time!”
"Hahaha, I'll look forward to it then!”
After saying that, Riley adjusted his glasses and turned to leave. He went to meet up with Jabba and organized the other members of Roger's Pirates to start treating his companions.
Seeing Riley leave, Kuzan, who was serious a second ago, returned to his lazy look in the next second. He looked at the injuries on his body and shook his head." Well, these seniors are really powerful. There's still a big gap between me and them."”
Then, after giving instructions to a soldier, Kuzan prepared to return to the warship.
After sensing that everyone on the battlefield had stopped fighting, Roger laughed and said," Hahaha! Karp, I'll take my leave first.”
Karp was instantly enraged. Veins popped out on his forehead as he cursed at Roger," Damn Roger, get lost! I'll let you off this time, but you won't be so lucky next time. I'll definitely catch you!"”
Roger didn't mind. He quickly left and rushed to the Oro Jackson. When he passed by Hogg and Zefa's battlefield, he shouted to Hogg,"Hogg, go back. We're going to retreat."”
Hearing Roger's words, Hogg looked at Roger and nodded to show that he understood. Then, he shouted to Zefa," Zefa, I hope you can do your best next time.”
With that, Hogg turned around and left, quickly catching up to Roger.
Looking at Hogg's back, Zefa was silent for a few seconds before shouting," Brat, I'll teach you a good lesson next time, and then send you into the city.”
Hearing the words coming from behind him, Hogg waved his hand and replied,"Zefa, you won't have that chance!”
When he saw Zefa, he wanted to say something, but Karp came to his side and patted him on the shoulder. He smiled and said," Hahaha, Zefa, let's go. As for the Roger Pirates, we can only arrest them next time."”
Zefa turned around and punched Karp, sending him flying more than ten meters away. He then cursed," Bastard Karp, you didn't even wait for me to come and act together. You only know how to mess around. Let's see how you explain this to the Sky Marshal when we get back!"”
Karp stood up and picked his nose. He laughed indifferently and said," Hahaha, Zefa, I have you. I'll leave the report to you.”
Hearing Karp's words, Zefa's face instantly darkened. He took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger." Let's go back and see how many people have died."”
Karp's expression turned heavy. Although he wanted to capture Roger and the others, he didn't want his soldiers to suffer too many casualties.
Just like that, the two of them walked side by side to the navy warship.
Hogg and Roger had already returned to the Oro Jackson.
As soon as they returned to the ship, Hogg asked for his things and clothes from the person from before. Then, he said to Roger," Roger, I'll go inside to wash my body and change my clothes. I'll come out when we set off.”
"Hahaha, Hogg, you can go do your thing first. I have to deal with some things with Riley and the others. After all, our pirate group has suffered quite a number of casualties this time.”
Roger's expression was solemn.
After that, the two of them went to do their own things.
After arriving at his temporary room, Hogg removed his combat state and began to shower in the bathroom.
Looking at the bruises all over his body and feeling the pain in his muscles, Hogg pondered. In this battle with Zefa, his strength, which had just reached the level of a substitute Great General, had increased once again. However, he was still a distance away from becoming a Great General, especially a peak Great General like Zefa.”
" Although Zefa has been out of the navy for several years and is suffering from asthma, his strength has decreased a little. Other than his trump cards, he has already given it his all, but he was still suppressed by Zefa the entire time.”
Thinking of this, Hogg immediately made a decision. He planned to follow Roger and the others for a period of time. In addition to sparring with Roger and the others, he would also fight with other pirates in the new world to increase his strength.
