Indeed, it's astonishing that a Celestial Dragon of such high status would fight alongside the Navy.
"You...you said you want to join the war???"
An incredulous look appeared on the admiral's face.
After all, it's unprecedented for the Celestial Dragons to fight alongside the Navy, so the Fleet Admiral's expression is understandable.
"What? Am I not allowed to participate in the war?"
Is looked down at him and spoke.
"Of course not!! But, wouldn't it be too abrupt, Lord Bernard Issain? This time we are going to deal with the Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates, which is too dangerous. I advise you to think twice." The Fleet Admiral explained.
"If it weren't for the Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates, I wouldn't have made this trip," Is said calmly.
Indeed, if it were any other pirate crew, Is wouldn't bother with this at all. However, the Rocks Pirates are different from the Roger Pirates; their influence on the future is too great.
Therefore, since they gave him a chance, Is could only seize it firmly.
"????"
The admiral looked at Is with a puzzled expression.
Just then, on a warship not far away, Garp waved and shouted, "Here, here!!!"
Everyone turned their attention to that direction.
The Fleet Admiral cursed inwardly, "I was trying to find a way to get him out of here, and Garp, you just dragged him in!"
"Farewell!"
After leaving a message, Is walked towards Garp.
The admiral wanted to say something more, but he swallowed the words back down.
Once Is had walked a little further away, he said to his men, "Bring me my Den Den Mushi."
"Yes, Marshal!"
After obtaining the Den Den Mushi, the Fleet Admiral quickly dialed the Den Den Mushi on the Five Elders' side.
"it's me!"
"whats the matter??"
"Bernard Issan wants to fight alongside our navy? Are you serious? Let me tell you, I can't handle him. If you want him to go back, you'll have to do it yourself."
"Don't forget, we're not going there to play around. We're going to fight a very dangerous battle where we could lose our lives at any moment," the Fleet Admiral said slowly and deliberately.
"It's alright, let him go with us. You don't need to protect him, and besides, that kid Is might even become a good asset to you..." the Five Elders replied.
Before the Fleet Admiral could say anything more, a ship in the harbor suddenly took to the air, followed by Garp's loud shout.
"Steel Bone, Sengoku, Marshal, we're off now, goodbye!!!"
"..."
The admiral, his face stiff, stared at the ships receding into the distance, lost in thought.
"If there's nothing else, that's all for now. Best of luck!!!"
After the Five Elders finished speaking, they hung up the Den Den Mushi.
"Marshal, what should we do?"
One of his trusted aides asked, standing beside the admiral.
"Proceed as planned."
As he spoke, the Fleet Admiral began pacing. The more he walked, the angrier he became, and he cursed again, "It's one thing for the Celestial Dragons to be insane, but that bastard Garp has gone mad too!!!"
"Lieutenant General Garp has always been like this; he gets happy whenever it's about fighting a strong enemy," the assistant explained from the side.
"I'm meeting you for the first time???"
"No...no, that's not what I meant!!"
····
"Want some? It doesn't look very appealing, but it tastes pretty good." Garp asked Is, holding up the snacks in his hand.
"Huh? Garp, didn't you say before that you wouldn't associate with the Celestial Dragons?" Madara Uchiha said, sitting on the ship's railing, propping his head up with one hand and gesturing with the other.
“Yeah, I don’t usually deal with other Celestial Dragons, but Bernard Issa is an exception, because I think he’s the only true Celestial Dragon. The others are just trash in name only… no, ordinary people, hahaha!!” Garp chuckled.
Is didn't say anything, but reached out and took the snack from Garp's hand. He glanced at it and saw that it was potato chips.
Some commenters are saying that updating all at once is better, and while that's true... it's not very friendly to the author. Authors need to space out their updates to maintain exposure. If they update too frequently, given their current performance, they'll probably be forgotten in a few days. So... you know what I mean.
Chapter 80
Without much hesitation, Is tore it open, leaned against the ship's railing, and began to eat.
This was the first time he had eaten snacks since he traveled back in time. As for how it felt... it was just so-so, not as delicious as the snacks he ate when he was a child.
"I never expected that you would participate in this battle," Garp said with a sigh, then leaned against the ship's railing.
"Is it strange??? You all look shocked." Uchiha Madara stood to the side, looking on in astonishment.
"Nonsense! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes—that the Celestial Dragons and the Navy were fighting, and that Rocks fell into the sea and drowned—I would be even more convinced that Rocks fell into the sea and drowned!!! Hahahaha."
Although Garp is a carefree guy who never says anything nice, in Is's eyes, he is much better than those sycophantic, obsequious guys.
"Karp, your mouth is as sweet as honey," Is complained.
Hahahaha...
A burst of laughter echoed throughout the entire ship.
Suddenly, Is's smile vanished, and he asked seriously, "How long will it take to get to the place where Rocks and Roger fought?"
"Normally, it takes half a day, but..."
Karp glanced outside and, sensing the rapidly moving ship, added, "At this speed, I feel we should arrive in less than two hours."
"Hopefully... they can hold out until we get there!" Is muttered.
The sea is unpredictable, and so are they; they cannot simply stand still and wait for Is and his companions.
It's possible that by the time Is and the others arrive, Roger and Rocks will have already disappeared.
It's also possible that by the time Is and the others arrive, Roger and Rocks will still be fighting for their lives.
It's also possible that Rocks had already dealt with Roger by then.
This battle is very likely to have occurred in the original work. If it did, then Roger would definitely not have died, but would have successfully escaped. Otherwise, he would never have become the Pirate King.
Of course, there is another possibility, which is that the appearance of Yis caused a butterfly effect.
If that's the case, then the outcome is really hard to predict. Roger might very well have ended his journey prematurely and perished.
The New World, the island where Roger and Rocks fought.
They fought their way from terrible weather to clear skies.
However, the Rocks Pirates' reputation wasn't built on words. The battle wasn't even over yet, and the Roger Pirates were on the verge of collapse.
“I never expected that you could hold your own against us for so long. However, the result is already clear: you no longer have the power to turn the tide, and defeat is only a matter of time.” Rocks held his long sword and pointed it at Roger in front of him.
Roger's expression was solemn as he tore off the tattered clothes still hanging on his body, revealing his muscular physique and countless scars, some old and others sustained in his recent battle with Rocks.
Rayleigh gripped his longsword in one hand and covered his right eye with the other; his hands were stained with blood.
"Are you alright, Rayleigh?" Jabba asked from the side.
"It's alright, my eyes aren't hurt!" Rayleigh forced a smile.
“Roger, surrender. We are both great pirates born from this sea. Let’s dominate this world together,” Rockstein said calmly.
Rocks greatly admired Roger's abilities, and if he could successfully recruit him, the Rocks Pirates' fighting strength would undoubtedly experience a qualitative leap.
That's why he kept asking questions, mainly because he wasn't giving up. After all, he felt it would be a great pity if someone like Roger had been killed by him.
Seeing Roger remain silent, Rocks spoke up again: "Are you really willing to watch your pirate crew gradually headed towards destruction? Today, both of us have already suffered many casualties."
Roger glanced at the crew behind him.
Rayleigh, Jabba, and the others gave him a smile.
Roger gripped his longsword tightly: "My choice will never change, even if this becomes my grave, the grave of my Roger Pirates."
This time it was Rocks' turn to remain silent. Although he admired Roger, he would not allow Roger to continue to grow and become a stumbling block to his world domination.
He waved his hand, and all the pirates behind Rocks swarmed forward, with various Devil Fruit users unleashing their diverse abilities.
Judging from the current situation, Roger and his crew won't be able to hold out for much longer.
Several hours later, Roger, Ridley, and Jabba had all suffered various serious injuries.
The Rocks Pirates have cornered Roger and his crew.
"It's over, Roger!!"
Hahahaha...
Roger laughed loudly, looking up at the sky: "I really didn't expect that I would end up like this."
"Shh!"
Roger threw the longsword to the ground, and the sharp blade stuck directly into the ground.
"You win, Rocks!!!"
“I didn’t want it to be this way, but it’s all something you had no choice but to compromise,” Lockes said coldly.
Suddenly, at that very moment, a huge wave erupted on the sea not far away, drawing everyone's attention.
As the giant wave receded, the first thing they saw was the navy's exclusive flag.

Chapter 81
"Captain Lockheed... Yes, it's the Navy! The Navy is here!!!"
Behind Lox, one of the giants exclaimed.
"These Navy guys really know how to pick their timing! Why not earlier or later, but of all times, they have to come knocking on our door!" Longbread chimed in with a complaint.
