Chapter 952: The Second Medium Star Gate!
Above Jupiter's orbit.
At this time, the Audette Cosmic Pirates inside the various Space Warships were in a state of panic and shock.
Just like the World Government's leadership in the rear constantly monitored the battle situation.
They could naturally also see the footage transmitted back from the fleet ahead.
However, the footage from the Space Pirates not only had a significant delay, but the screen feed was also very unstable, occasionally going black or showing static.
Compared to the Den Den Mushi of the Sea Star, it was indeed far inferior.
However, the Space Pirates, who were already used to this quality of footage, didn't care about any of this.
What they valued was the content within the footage!
Captain Odette herself, standing in the command room of the White Bird, had a face pale with rage.
On the large screen, the fleet she had dispatched was currently being brutally destroyed by a golden flash, a blue electric light, and a blue-scaled azure dragon not much smaller than a warship, working together.
Those Space Warships, capable of resisting the Galactic Empire's cruisers, were so fragile and powerless before them, offering no resistance.
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Run!!"
"We're finished, Captain save us!"
Hysterical, desperate pleas for mercy echoed from all directions.
These were the screams of the crewmates currently fiercely battling Borsalino and the others.
"How could this be... How could there be Superpowered Individuals this strong?"
Odette's mood was no different from the other Space Pirates.
In her worldview, there was no superpower that could counter space warships.
Oh no, there was one, but that was just a legend she had heard about, usually discussed as a joke while drinking.
Other than that, the strongest Superpowered Individual she had seen could only block head-on one or two warship main cannon lasers.
This was with the opponent using their full strength, and in the end, that person, along with the city they were in, was completely flattened by them.
"What kind of civilization is this? If we can conquer it, is it possible that I could also possess such a powerful superpower?"
Odette was indeed one of the Seven Great Official Pirate Captains of the Sea Star.
Immediately, from the terrifying strength displayed by Borsalino and the two others, she acutely perceived the immense gain hidden behind it.
However, judging from the current situation, this gain was accompanied by equal, or even higher, risk.
"Captain!"
"The fleet we dispatched has been completely annihilated! That golden light and lightning are flying towards us!"
At this moment, a Space Pirate sitting in front of the control panel urgently shouted.
"Hmm?"
Odette quickly looked up at the zone map displayed on the large screen, and indeed, two energy sources were approaching at a considerably 'slow' speed.
This 'slowness' was compared to the sub-light engine of a Space Warship.
Based on their current speed.
It would probably take several days to reach the vicinity of Saturn.
This made Captain Odette wonder.
Were these two Superpowered Individuals going to fly for days and nights?
And then fight another battle with their Pirate Crew, which still had most of its combat power remaining?
Either of these possibilities was too outrageous!
Now Captain Odette was faced with a decision.
Should she stay here, wait for the opponents to arrive, and then take advantage of their exhaustion to eliminate or capture them alive, or should she temporarily retreat, wait until her strength recovered, and then think of a method to deal with them or regroup and return?
Odette pondered this question for about half a day before making a decision.
Retreat!
She mainly felt that the civilization on that blue planet opposite couldn't be foolish.
Since they dared to send these two powerful Superpowered Individuals, it meant they weren't worried about stamina issues.
Although it was incredible, their very existence was incredible, so it couldn't be considered completely impossible.
If that were the case, then when the opponents arrived, it would likely be the doomsday for their entire crew.
Captain Odette felt the chances of winning the gamble were not high.
So she decided to leave.
After leaving, she would use the large amount of mineral resources mined from 'Saturn' these past few days to first find a method to recover, and even further strengthen the Pirate Crew.
The issue of secrecy was also important!
This entire galaxy before them, every single planet was a treasure!
If discovered by other forces in the universe, it would definitely cause an uproar.
At that point, it would have nothing to do with their Odette Pirate Group.
Therefore, Captain Odette immediately issued the strictest gag order to all her subordinate crewmates.
Anyone who leaked information about this 'Great Treasure Star System' externally would be executed on the spot upon discovery!
Yes, Captain Odette named the galaxy where the Sea Star was located the 'Great Treasure Star System', meaning: 'A Treasure that must be kept secret and is incredibly mysterious'.
What she needed to do now was hide this 'Treasure' and wait until she could return to open and claim it in the future!
A few hours later, when the last team from 'Saturn' returned to the warships.
One by one, the black warships of the Audette Cosmic Pirate Group, led by the pure white White Bird, activated 'Faster-Than-Light Jump' and disappeared without a trace, one after another.
A moment later...
Only the pitted rocks on the surface of 'Saturn' could silently prove that they had been here and taken away countless resources.
On the other side.
Borsalino and Enel, who were soaring through the star sea like two brilliant meteors, stopped almost simultaneously, their figures condensing from the flash and electric flash.
Because they felt the Den Den Mushi in their 'Coat of Justice' calling.
Borsalino and Enel took out their Den Den Mushi and placed them in their palms.
[Return immediately. Lord Imu has issued a notification: All Space Pirates at 'Saturn' have left. Order from Marshal Zephyr of Air Force Headquarters]
Because sound could not travel, the Den Den Mushi transmitted Zephyr's order as text via projected footage.
"That's good news. Looks like we won't have to work hard for a few days, phew—"
Borsalino sighed in relief.
Enel, not far away, looked regretful.
He was still thinking of using this military merit to get himself a promotion to Admiral.
"What Space Pirates? They're just a bunch of cowardly trash!"
At the same time.
Im, who was in the Imperial Arms World, was also speechless.
He hadn't expected Captain Odette of the Audette Cosmic Pirate Group to be so decisive and just leave.
This made the matter complicated and uncontrollable.
It wasn't hard to imagine that more Space Pirates, and even fleets from other major forces, would appear in the future.
Therefore, the World Government must constantly guard against threats from all sides of the native universe from now on.
However, these were matters for the future.
Currently, the World Government still had a big problem before them.
The Demon Army of the Ninja World!
The situation there now was that the White Zetsu Army in the Land of Iron, with Ay and Killer B arriving on the scene, had used the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb to annihilate most of the White Zetsu.
The remaining White Zetsu were to be captured alive according to the requirement of the Otherworld Strategy Committee, and then handed over to the Sea Ninja led by Tengen Uzui to be escorted back to Rōran.
At the same time, Mifune, Third Raikage, Ay, Killer B, and others led Samurai and nearly ten thousand Cloud Hidden troops to the Land of Swamps to support Sunagakure and snipe the Demons.
Also, Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, whose injuries had already recovered with the help of Medical Ninja, also received an order from the current First Sea Kage Fukurokuju, and had now led three thousand Ninja away from Stone Village.
However, the closest and fastest to the Land of Swamps was naturally the Ninja Alliance Army from Konoha and Stone Hidden, including Jiraiya, Uchiha Fugaku, Kitsuchi, and others, who were originally resisting the Moryo Army within the Land of Bears.
As Esdeath took over the battlefield, they were immediately transferred by Fukurokuju to the Land of Swamps to support Rasa, Chiyo, and other Sunagakure Ninja.
As for the furthest distance, it should be the Hidden Mist Ninja Army who departed with Kuzan. It's unknown if they can arrive in time...
However, Fukurokuju also followed Sakazuki's order.
Although the two sides were not from the same organization.
But Sakazuki was the Military Commander who conquered the Ninja World, so he indeed had the qualification to have the Sea Ninja Village assist.
It's just that the Ninja of the Ninja World have been placed under the jurisdiction of the Sea Ninja Village, so Fukurokuju needed to issue the order in the name of the Sea Kage.
Moreover, the Sea Ninja Village would soon separate from Cipher Pol and become part of the military, directly under the Command Department.
Therefore, Fukurokuju had no resistance whatsoever to Sakazuki's order, as everyone would be on the same side in the future.
In short, the troops from the Ninja Villages in the Ninja World had all changed direction and were converging on the Land of Swamps.
At the same time.
Just as Sakazuki in Rōran was preparing to lead the Army Unit to depart, he suddenly received a notification from the Command Department.
"Prepare yourselves. In one hour, the Star Gate will transfer from underground to the surface and simultaneously be promoted to a 'Medium Star Gate'. Your subordinate Main Battle Legion will all move from the Titan World into the Ninja World!"
Sakazuki and Shiryu behind him immediately had their pupils narrowed to pinpricks.
