Chapter 239 A crushing naval battle! (2-in-1)

“Ouch!”

“The Beast Pirates, they look really vicious!”

When the navy’s fleet approached Ridchiled Island, on the coast of Ridchiled Island There were already many pirates gathered around. On the dock on the east coast, when the pirates saw the arrival of the warship, not only did they not flee in panic, but under the command of a certain Beast Pirate Group cadre, they boarded the docked dock. Pirate ship on the shore.

Black pirate flags were fluttered by the sea breeze, and pirate ships of various shapes left the port one after another. For a moment, the entire dock was “a hundred boats arguing”, and one pirate ship after another rushed towards the navy’s fleet. Go up.

“Oh!”

“What a big scene!”

At the forefront of the naval fleet, Garp stood on the bow of the ship, raised his hand and looked at the scene at the dock of Ridchiled Island, and couldn’t help but smile and sigh.

After so many years, since the battle in the Valley of the Gods, Garp has not seen such a big scene for a long time.

In recent years, pirates active in the world have been scattered. There is a pirate group of more than a hundred people, which can be regarded as a large ship group.

As powerful as the Beasts Pirates, in today’s new world, there are probably only a few pirate groups that can reach this level.

At this stage, the Beast Pirates have already taken on the initial appearance of the Four Emperors, with huge power and powerful strength.

Facing the naval fleet led by Garp and Zefa, not only did they not show the slightest fear, but they launched a charge towards the navy.

“However, rushing towards us without hesitation is too much to underestimate our navy, isn’t it?”

Garp said, the smile on his face gradually faded, he grinned and said in a deep voice.

When Zefa heard this, he couldn’t help but let out a soft snort, and then said loudly to the adjutant Bogart: “Bogart, order the fleet to slow down to 3-5 knots, adjust the position of the guns, and listen to my orders. Prepare for bombardment.”

The strength of the navy has never been about suppressing pirates in terms of mid-to-high-end combat power. On the contrary, in this wonderful world with “Devil Fruits”, every ordinary person has his own adventures, and those “children of luck” “They got devil fruits one after another and gained powers beyond human beings.

When ordinary people suddenly possess this power, under the instigation of a world environment such as the “Great Pirate Age”, it is easy to get lost in their own desires and go to sea to become pirates in pursuit of fame, wealth, women, and ambition. .

Among the pirates gathered on Ridchiled Island, it can be said that there are many people with Devil Fruit abilities.

The individual strength of the navy is really different and cannot be compared with these people.

But the reason why the Navy can become the true overlord in this world relies on their terrifying logistics and technological strength.

The poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology.

The naval battle of Ridchiled, which is about to begin at this time, is the so-called war between the “poor man” and the “rich man”.

These warships in the naval fleet are the results of Vegapunk’s latest technology. The naval guns mounted on the warships are the most advanced thermal weapons in the world.

While others were still using matchlocks and flintlock guns, the navy had already achieved continuous firing of artillery, and the range of naval guns on warships far exceeded those of ordinary artillery on pirate ships.

“Boom!!!”

“Boom!!!”

The fleets of the two sides were 8,000 meters apart. The navy took the lead in attacking. As the fleet roared in unison, dark artillery shells flew directly out from the navy fleet and headed towards The pirate fleet fell down in the distance.

The pirates’ artillery range is still in the feudal society period, but the navy’s artillery is at least the level of the pre- to mid-World War II era.

The difference in range is more than double.

After a salvo, seven or eight pirate ships were enveloped in a sea of fire and stopped on the sea. The surviving pirates jumped off the burning pirate ship and swam hurriedly towards the coast.

At the same time, the pirates on the pirate ships also “showed off their special abilities” and used their own abilities and methods to help the fleet avoid the naval bombardment.

“Have everything been debugged?”

“If debugging is done, let’s fire 2 base shells first.”

Zefa looked at the pirate fleet that had some confusion in its formation, narrowed his eyes slightly and stared for a while, then smiled. He gave the order to Bogart.

The previous round of salvos was just an adjustment of the distance. It was just a tentative attack at best and not a formal combat order at all.

But now, what Zefa issued is the real combat order.

When the battle officially started, Zefa naturally took over the command of the battle, and Garp also took out a pack of “Navy Specialty” donuts from nowhere and stood on the bow of the ship while eating them. Look at the situation at sea.

He had no objection at all to Zefa’s attempt to seize command.

Among the navies at the same time as Garp, Zefa is better at commanding troops in naval battles. In addition to their own strong strength, Sengoku and He are good at “planning” and have strong on-the-spot command capabilities, but they are not as strong as Zefa.

Although Garp

has a delicate mind, he is not good at such troublesome things as commanding large-scale naval battles. He is good at solving problems quickly with his fists.

If not for this operation with Zefa, his dog-headed warship would have appeared on Ridchiled Island at this moment, performing a gorgeous “break into the enemy’s position”. As for whether other navies can keep up with Garp’s actions, sorry, this is not something Garp cares about!

“Yes!!”

Bogart was holding a phone bug in his hand at this moment. After receiving Zefa’s order, he immediately shouted into the phone bug’s microphone: “Test firing completed, target, enemy pirate ship. ”

Carry out shelling, hit 2 bases first!”

Bogart’s order was passed to other warships through the phone bug. At the same time, Bogart also shouted to the navy on the watchtower. After hearing Bogart’s After the order was given, the navy on the watchtower immediately issued a flag.

Not long after, the dog-headed warship took the lead in firing, firing out shells one after another.

Next, the naval fleet started firing again, one after another.

One hundred and eighty shells were divided into several rounds and fell towards the pirate fleet in the distance. For a time, the sea outside the pier of Ridchiled Island was filled with pirate ships that had been bombed. Countless pirates were forced into the sea and swam towards the shore of Ridchiled Island.

The pirate ships rushing towards the naval fleet at this time were like the British troops who lined up in a square formation during World War I, lining up to be shot under the Navy’s “Maxine”.

However, the extraordinary world is an extraordinary world after all. With so many pirates, there are still some capable people who lead their crews through the naval gunfire and force themselves towards the naval fleet.

As several pirate ships approached, the pirates also began to fight back.

“Boom!!!”

A cannonball from a pirate ship landed on the giant warship next to the dog-headed warship. After a roar, the smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the blue hull of the warship.

At the place where the shell hit, a huge depression appeared.

But the damage suffered by the warship was nothing more than that.

The pirates’ counterattack shelling fell on the warship and could not even penetrate the warship’s armor. Its power is, at best, causing some scratches on the warship. Let alone sinking the warship, it could not even affect the combat effectiveness of the warship.

On the deck, a young major general hurriedly held on to the railing when the warship was being bombarded. After a while, the young major general noticed that his warship was the one on the back. He became angry and drew his long sword from his waist. , yelled at the crew: “Fight back! Aim at that pirate ship and fight back hard!”

In the roar of the young major general, the pirate ship that finally broke through the navy’s “firepower net” was instantly destroyed. Overwhelmed by dense shells.

Zefa noticed something unusual about the warship next door, frowned, pointed at the warship next door that was firing crazily, and asked Bogart: “Who is the commander of that ship?”

(Novels Knights-Read novels for free)

“Report, it’s Ba Major General Stuyou.”

Hearing this name, Zefa recalled in his mind that there seemed to be such a boy among the students he taught back then. When I was in the naval academy, I trained very hard, and my fighting talent was quite good, but I was easily impulsive and saved my face.

After matching the number, Zefa said calmly

to Bogart: “Call him and let this kid calm down first.”

“By the way, mark him down, and I will settle the score with him after the battle is over! ”

After Zefa finished speaking, he said loudly: “Pass my order. After the bombardment, the fleet will use my warship as a benchmark and spread out towards the two wings. Give the main guns some time to cool down. Aim the side guns at the pirates and continue the bombardment. Make the same two bases!”

Bogart quickly passed on Zefa’s order, and the naval fleet, which was originally arranged horizontally, quickly divided into two teams, turned around, and marched towards both sides.

After turning the ship around, another roar came from the naval fleet.

The caliber of the warship’s side guns is not as good as that of the main guns, but their number is much greater than that of the main guns. With the same two base number of shells, the intensity of the side gun bombardment is far greater than the intensity of the main gun bombardment.

There were many pirate ships on the sea, and there were also many capable captains. However, under the intensive artillery fire coverage of the navy, the pirate ships that originally launched the charge also changed their direction one after another and headed back towards the coast.

Yes, it is true that many pirates have the ability of Devil Fruit. Relying on the ability of Devil Fruit, they can also block some cannonballs.

But it can’t withstand the intensive bombardment of the navy!

People with abilities may not be killed by artillery shells, but they have no way to protect their ships from artillery strikes under such bombardment by the navy.

The vast majority of pirate ships are traditional wooden sailboat structures. This kind of ship will be paralyzed as long as a cannonball lands in a good position. If a few shells are fired in a row, the pirates on the ship will not be able to put out the fire in time.

People with abilities are not afraid of being bombarded from the front, but they are afraid of losing their foothold at sea.

The sound of naval bombardment gradually died down, and the remaining pirates returned to the coast of Ridchiled Island one after another. The sea was full of burning pirate ships. Under the beating of the waves, the broken wooden boards were mixed with blood. , drifting to the beach.

Looking around, the originally mighty pirate fleet had been completely destroyed by the navy.

The naval battle was basically a one-sided massacre of pirates by the navy.

“Quick, everyone go back to the shore. Go and push out the artillery in the warehouse and prepare to assume defense on the coast to resist the navy!” Among

the pirates, there were cadres of the Beasts Pirates who realized that a sea battle with the navy would be too much of a disadvantage. After returning to the shore, he immediately asked people to set up defenses along the coast.

The panicked pirates immediately found their backbone at this moment. Cannons were moved out from the arsenal on the island and began to be set up on the shore.

The navy in the distance did not chase after the pirates and land on the island.

The navy seemed unaware of such a rare fighting opportunity. Under Zefa’s order, the navy’s fleet began to rearrange itself, and then slowly approached the coast.

The pirates were also very happy to see that the navy was not pursuing them. Judging from the navy’s leisurely appearance, they would definitely be able to arrange the defense work on the shore when the other party was about to land on the island. By then, the navy on the island would be directly exposed. Under the gunfire of the pirates.

“Navy! Ho ho ho, come on, let you have a taste of the power of artillery!”

The cadres of the Beast Pirates looked at the artillery being set up around them one after another, and couldn’t help but let out a burst of laughter with joy. .

On the dog-headed warship, Bogart saw through the telescope that the pirates had begun to set up defenses on the shore. He couldn’t help but asked Zefa: “Chief Instructor Zefa, the pirates have already set up defenses on the shore.”

“We have already set up defenses on the shore.”

If we just land on the island like this, I’m afraid we will be targeted.”

Bogart said worriedly. He felt that this situation was somewhat disadvantageous to the navy. Some of the advantages gained before had been lost as the pirates set up defenses on the island. Become nothing.

Now, the best way is

to say, Bogart looked at Lieutenant General Garp. As long as Garp takes the lead in the charge, the navy can successfully land on the island!

“Landing on the island?”

“Why should we land on the island now?”

“Bogart, we didn’t come to Ridchiled Island to occupy this island.”

“We came to destroy the Beast Pirates!”

” Pass my order, all warships will slow down and move forward. When the coast of Ridchiled Island comes within range, they will directly carry out a covering strike on the dock.” ”

Defense, right?”

“Haha, kill those guys Together with their positions, blast the sky with artillery shells!”

Before Zefa could say anything more, Garp shouted directly at a loud voice, then looked at Bogart and continued towards Bogart: “That’s right. , push the cannonball onto me!”

“I’ll stretch my muscles first, so that I won’t be able to use them when I meet the strong men of the Beast Pirates!”

Facing Garp’s order, Bogart’s expression changed. He hesitated, then turned his head and looked at Zefa. Hearing this, Zefa looked at the corpses of some pirates floating on the sea. There was some unbearable expression on his face. He sighed softly and did not answer Bogart.

Seeing that Zefa didn’t answer, Bogart saluted Garp and then quickly passed on the order.

“Well, Zefa.”

“After using artillery to open up the landing area, you will sit on the warship and prepare to meet me. I will take people to the island to clear out the pirates of the Beast Pirates.”

Garp noticed Zefa. With such emotion, he walked to Zefa’s side, patted Zefa on the shoulder, and then said with a smile. This old brother of his is good at everything, but he is too soft-hearted.

He had obviously made up his mind to return to the front line to help his disciples, but when Zefa really saw the scene in front of him, he finally relented.

Not long after, in the horrified eyes of the pirates on the shore, the navy’s shells fell like raindrops. The shore defense line established with great difficulty quickly collapsed amidst the roaring explosions.

After all, the knowledge of pirates is limited after all. In the absence of over-range coastal artillery, is there any difference between setting up defenses on the shore and being a target?

Compared with the previous naval battle, the pirates even replaced the moving target with a fixed target. What a stupid decision.

On a hill in the center of Ridchiled Island, Kaido, Jhin and a group of cadres of the Beast Pirates were paying close attention to the battle on the coast.

Unexpectedly, Garp and Zefa didn’t take action at all, and his “elites” couldn’t bear it anymore and began to collapse.

This was something Kaido didn’t expect at first. After listening to Jhin’s report, he felt that the navy did not have as many people as him and the combat effectiveness was not as strong as the pirates under his command. He thought that he only needed a little action from his subordinates to defeat the navy. lost heavily.

As the captain, Kaido only needed to resist the two top combat forces of Garp and Zefa. However, unexpectedly, the navy did not suffer any casualties at all, and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties.

Thousands of people may have died on the sea and on the coast under the continuous bombardment of the navy.

Such a loss, even a person like Kaido can’t help but feel a pang of pain.

“Jhin, let’s go, we can’t go on like this.”

“Let’s go meet those marines.”

Just as Kaido was about to attack in person.

On the sea tens of thousands of meters away from Ridchiled Island, a slender warship was speeding towards Ridchiled Island.

On the warship Dawn, Ji Guoyuan stood on the bow, looking at the various floating objects on the sea, smelling the faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, his face darkening.

“Have the fighting started yet?”

“Cyrus, we have to speed up.”

“I don’t know what the situation is like.”
