Chapter 167: The End or Another Battle?
Although he defeated and knocked out Sana, it was clear that the Little girl who had just eaten the White Tiger Fruit was just a minor officer in the Pink Hat Pirates.
The Pink Hat Pirates' main force of nine members, plus the seven members of the Bei Group, are all well-preserved in terms of overall combat strength.
If the fight continued, the Navy would undoubtedly lose, because they couldn't even get past Luna.
Therefore, this was also why Garp chose to call a halt.
"What, don't want to fight anymore?" Luna put her hands behind her back, raised her head, and said with a cold and indifferent expression.
It was as if there was a special underlying meaning, as if she was saying, "Is that all you Navy have?"
You were the ones who proposed the battle, but now that you're on the verge of total defeat, you're the ones who choose to step forward and surrender.
The Navy lowered their heads, looking silent, or rather, incredibly grim. Other forces watching through the live broadcast were also mostly silent, but more of them were gloating, after all, the Navy had lost.
But no matter what, no matter which faction, or individual powerhouses, at this moment, no one would underestimate the Pink Hat Pirates, a new Pirate Crew that had only been at sea for a few months, anymore. They would no longer underestimate them as just a group of young girls.
Because they had fully demonstrated their strength and abilities through this battle. Their overall strength would not be inferior to any Four Emperor Crew—no, they would even surpass many.
"Yes." Garp was silent for a moment, then nodded. The Marines behind him, whether high-ranking officers or ordinary Marine Soldiers, all showed expressions of unwillingness and humiliation.
But the problem was that they really couldn't fight anymore. If they continued, the Navy would suffer heavy casualties.
Especially since there were too many Navy High Command or powerhouses here.
If anything happened to them here, the Navy's strength and prestige in this vast sea would greatly diminish, and at that time, it would certainly attract many anti-Navy factions to attack them, specifically targeting them.
Garp chose to surrender precisely because he considered this point.
Many in the Navy also thought of this, so their faces could only show unwillingness and humiliation.
"Hahahahahahaha." But suddenly, Luna burst out laughing. She laughed very loudly, and her laughter was full of mockery.
Everyone was puzzled. What was this girl laughing at?
"What are you laughing at?" Garp looked at Luna and asked the question on everyone's mind.
Luna immediately stopped laughing, but with an expression of disdain and mockery, she said to him,
"Old man, do you really think that if you choose to surrender, we will let you go?"
Everyone who heard this was startled. Did the Pink Hat Pirates still want to continue fighting?
But after thinking about it, many viewers understood. After all, the advantage was now greatly with the Pink Hat Pirates.
Whether it was Luna's current state, which had barely consumed any energy, and her own Void Ability, or the fact that the other members of the Pink Hat Pirates still had the strength to fight.
It made sense for Luna to continue to make trouble for the Navy.
Many people who thought of this immediately beamed with joy and gloated. "Good! Keep fighting! It would be best if a few of those bastards in the Navy died!"
Conversely, the faces of those on the Navy and World Government sides immediately turned very ugly.
Because if these high-ranking powerhouses in the Navy died here, it would be a huge loss for them, and they would immediately receive pressure from other forces.
"You... Little girl, we've already surrendered, what more do you want?"
Garp said angrily, his eyes almost spitting fire.
And at this moment, the other Marines behind him also mostly had grim faces, full of anger and murderous looks.
Even Kizaru, who had just been rescued and had the seawater cleaned off him, was like this, because Luna's actions meant she completely didn't want to give them a way out, and still wanted to continue fighting to the death.
"First, the advantage is with me, why should I give up? Second, other forces might be fine, but as for you Navy, I will not show any mercy or leave room for future encounters. Third, and most importantly, do you think I will let you go just because you surrendered? You're thinking too simply, aren't you? If we had lost this time, would you have let us go? You would either capture us and throw us into Impel Down, or directly kill us on the spot, right? Based on these three points, I have every reason to fight you Navy to the death in this war."
Luna's expression remained unchanged as she directly stated her thoughts.
