Finally Bogard remembered his Den Den Mushi, Jax could not believe his ears when his captain finally decided to listen to him. Jax would have thought that he was in heaven if it wasn’t for the people trying to kill him. 

Bogard destroyed the restaurant’s ceiling and jumped up on the roof while making bold declarations of becoming the next Pirate King. This gave Jax enough time to appear on the roof and then teleport to a set of houses that were behind the Marine perimeter. He had complete belief in his crew and their ability to beat up on a bunch of grunts. 

The marines probably had another perimeter of snipers behind their soldiers in order to pick off the crew easily rather than engaging them in a full-fledged fight. That the crew had to break through two lines of Marines and then find the quickest way to their ship, and then try to sail out of Loguetown while praying that the Marines didn’t already have the harbor blockaded. None of that would matter if the crew wasn’t able to get out of the restaurant alive. 

Jax had to decide between either taking out soldiers at the restaurant or breaking down the second line of snipers that he assumed were somewhere in the city. This meant he had to watch both in front of him and behind him in order to not die. If he was wrong about the second line of snipers then he wasted precious time and his team might be overwhelmed. On the other hand, if there was a second line and he didn’t take care of them first it could lead to a lot of problems farther down the road, literally.

I’m gonna leave these grunts to you,”[/color] Jax reported to his captain through baby Den Den Mushi. With that, Jax pulled out his pistols. They work better with his partial teleportation than a rifle, so he decided to switch over since he didn’t really need long range accuracy if he could move in closer.
