Chapter 617: Bombs Shower the Ground, Indiscriminate Attack? (Two in One)
The fleet of the new navy marched towards the direction of Beehive Island, and the huge fleet soon attracted the attention of the pirates on Beehive Island.
On the sentry tower of Rocky Port.
The bored sentry was holding a wine glass in his hand, and was drunk and chatting with his companions about dirty jokes. The life of the pirates on Beehive Island is so simple and unpretentious. Every day, they only need to think about wine and beauties.
On this island, no matter what the pirates want to do, no one will interfere. The slaves captured on the island are not the private property of a big pirate, but can be enjoyed by everyone.
"I plan to go to sea with Captain Gro tomorrow. It's too boring to guard this coastline every day."
"The sea breeze has wrinkled my skin."
"I have to rob some new young girls to make my body radiate vitality again."
The pirate had a pistol on his waist. After taking a sip of wine, he showed an intoxicated smile on his face. In his mind, he seemed to be imagining what he could get after going to sea tomorrow.
However, while he was talking, another pirate on duty in the same tower was looking at the distant sea with a telescope. This pirate seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. His body became extremely stiff and he had no intention of talking.
"Hey, what are you pretending to be at this time?"
"I'm talking to you."
"Are you jealous that I can go out to sea? If you want to go out, please ask me. I will talk to Captain Gro for you. It's not a problem to take you with me, hahaha!"
Seeing that his companion did not respond to him, the pirate thought that the other party was jealous of him and started to sulk. After taking a sip of wine, the pirate gently patted his companion's shoulder and said with a smile.
It sounds like a good brother who is loyal.
"It's bad, it's a big deal!"
The pirate who was looking at the distant sea with a telescope was sweating. His abnormality finally attracted the attention of his companions, but before the pirate picked up the telescope and looked at the distant sea, his companion's terrified voice fell into his ears.
"Quick, sound the alarm."
"It's the fleet, it's the fleet of the New Navy!"
"The fleet of the New Navy has appeared on our Beehive Island!!!"
The terrified shouts were even a little broken, and the pirates who were passing under the watchtower at this time also heard the low shouts from the watchtower.
New Navy.
When the pirates heard this name, everyone trembled involuntarily. This has almost become the subconscious of the pirates engraved in their blood.
The shadow of fear surged in their hearts. The pirates on the harbor had no time to confirm the truth of this news. After hearing the news that the New Navy fleet came to the Beehive, the crowd had become panicked.
Far sea.
The fleet of the New Navy had already appeared on the sea level at this time.
At this time in Rocky Port, the alarm sounded almost continuously, and the harsh gong sound even resounded throughout the island.
Pirates closer to the harbor began to rush to board the ship. Some ships that had already planned to sail set sail without caring whether the crew was present after noticing the new navy fleet approaching Beehive Island.
These pirate ships that set out first did not intend to meet the enemy to slow down the march of the new navy. On the contrary, these pirate ships that set sail also adjusted their direction and were accelerating their evacuation from Beehive Island.
The fleet of the new navy appeared in such a place quietly. Even the most brainless pirates knew that these people were not good. These new navy must be targeting the pirates on their island.
If they don't leave now, they may be involved in the war.
Wang Zhi's rule over the pirates is actually extremely free. His pirate group also gathered the crew members to this island through interests.
They can enjoy together. With absolute advantages, they will not be timid or hesitant even if they go to war with other pirate groups.
But that is based on the fact that the pirates have a certain advantage, so that the pirates can fight together.
If the opponent is a behemoth like the New Navy, the pirate group that has just been established will soon fall apart under huge external pressure.
At this time, the Beehive Island, to put it bluntly, except for Wang Zhi's core backbones, the others are just minions and vassals.
And Jiguo Yuanyi chose to attack the Beehive Island, and it was precisely because he saw this characteristic of the beehive that he chose to start from here first.
The existence of the beehive is the easiest to destroy people's hearts. The pirate group without a threshold to join can induce more and more people to become pirates.
Ordinary people only need to abandon moral constraints, pick up guns and knives, and they can immediately become the superior people, from the oppressed to the oppressor. For most ordinary people, they can't resist such temptation at all.
Wealth, women.
All of this only needs knives and guns, and can be easily obtained by robbing. Who would choose to work hard?
The scattered Beehive Island is one of the biggest cancers in the New World.
In contrast, the impact that elite pirate groups like Red Hair Shanks, who have reached the throne of the Four Emperors, can have on ordinary people is much smaller.
The threat is far less than that of Beehive Island.
It only takes a thought to join Beehive Island, but it is not easy to become a member of the Red Hair Pirates.
If someone can be recognized by the red hair and become his partner, then this person can succeed in anything else even if he does not become a pirate.
The purpose of people going to sea is actually very simple and pure, just for wealth and power.
If these things were not readily available, how many people would risk their lives and choose to go to sea?
The pirate ships docked at Rocky Port began to flee in all directions. By the time Wang Zhi, who was in the center of the island, received the news, most of the pirates on the island had already fled. Except for a few of his subordinates, he could no longer contact them. A more junior captain.
This sudden change also made Wang Zhi furious. He punched the armrest of the seat and cursed:
"A bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimps, a pile of mud that can't hold up the wall."
"The new navy alone makes these guys afraid like this."
"Is their new navy bound to be stronger than ours?"
"Ji Guoyuan is already dead, and those guys from the New Navy are already too busy dealing with the World Government. Now they dare to provoke our Honeycomb Island. They are really looking for death!!!"
Wang Zhi's eyes were filled with anger. After losing his temper in the room, he grabbed the phone bug at hand and began to summon all the cadres still on the island.
escape?!
He had already escaped once when facing the New Navy, but this time, Wang Zhi no longer had any scruples and planned to fight to the death with the New Navy.
He is not afraid of the threat of the New Navy at all, and he doesn't care at all about how many pirates will die on their island in a war with the New Navy.
After all, they are a ragtag group of people. As long as he and some core pirates, other pirates can recruit as many as they want.
On Beehive Island, he was able to fight the new navy with all his strength. Even if he was defeated, at worst he would continue to retreat with his backbone.
Wait until the New Navy leaves, then walk out of the bunker and regain control, unless the New Navy is planning to permanently station on Beehive Island, where several top powerhouses are stationed.
Otherwise, Wang Zhi would have been in an invincible position before the war even started.
And based on the combat effectiveness and strange abilities of Wang Zhi and others, if the New Navy cannot completely kill them, it will have to pay a huge price to occupy Beehive Island. Even if there are strong men from the New Navy sitting here, You will face the risk of being attacked and killed at all times.
In just a few minutes while waiting for the crew to come and gather, Wang Zhi had already thought of his approach and retreat.
Wang Zhi, who no longer had any worries, had a sinister smile on his face. He walked to the window sill and looked at the chaotic street outside the house with a look of regret on his face:
"It took all these years to restore Beehive Island to this condition."
"But I didn't expect that the new navy would suddenly take action against us."
"Winning or losing, the 'prosperity' scene on this island should not be seen in a short time."
When he thought that the results of his hard work over the years would be destroyed again, Wang Zhi's anger became more and more intense.
Just as the pirates on Beehive Island were hastily preparing to go to war with the New Navy, the new navy's fleet was only a kilometer away from Beehive Island.
The entire Beehive Island has entered the coverage of naval guns.
On the command ship, Kuzan, who noticed a pirate ship sailing out of Rocky Port, did not hesitate at all and activated his abilities as planned.
I saw Kuzan's figure jumping out from the deck. When all the warships finished stopping and changing direction, and the side cannons faced Honeycomb Island, Kuzan also raised his hands toward the sea, and two icicles shot directly from his The shot shot out of his hand and fell into the sea water.
Ice Age!
After awakening from the natural devil fruit, the esper can even possess power comparable to that of nature.
The moment the Ice Age started, the rough sea surface was frozen instantly, and the frozen area spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. It had spread over a kilometer in just a few breaths.
Above Rocky Port, the pirate ships planning to escape had not sailed far before the sea turned into thick ice, and their pirate ships were frozen directly on the ice, unable to move forward. .
Even if you want to escape, there is nowhere to escape at this moment.
"This is the ability of Kuzan, the new navy general!"
Since Kuzan left the Navy Headquarters and joined the New Navy, the pirates' name for him has changed from his original code name to his own original name.
Kuzan used battle after battle to refresh his inherent impression in other people's minds.
When pirates mention Kuzan, the first identity they think of is the new navy, not the former navy admiral.
The pirates who noticed that the sea was frozen could not conceal their panic at all. The new navy that appeared quietly on Honeycomb Island had bad intentions. Now it even froze the sea area for a time, making it impossible for them to leave. All the pirates were Realizing that the new navy was planning to kill them all.
The next movements of the new navy were exactly what the pirates expected.
In the distance, an ice platform rose slowly and rapidly from the ice field. The ice platform held up one warship after another. This strange scene also attracted the attention of the pirates, who noticed the ice platforms. A bad feeling suddenly emerged in the pirate's heart.
On board the command ship.
Kuzan's figure fell from the sky and stood back on the deck.
At this time, Kuzan stood at the bow with his hands in his pockets, looking down at the distant Rocky Port, with a cold light flashing in his eyes;
"Let's start with the pirate ships that are about to leave."
"They have all become fixed targets, so it's a good time to try the guns first and get into the state."
Kuzan murmured, and then grabbed the communication phone beside him and ordered: "Prepare for artillery fire!"
"In the direction of Rocky Port, clean up all the pirate ships first!"
Kuzan ordered the artillery fire, and the muzzles of all warships began to adjust their angles at this moment, and the command ship where Kuzan was located also fired the first shot of the war.
"Bang!!!"
A low cannon sounded, and a cannonball with a sharp warhead was fired directly, cutting through the sky, making a sharp whistle.
"Boom!!!"
The flying shells flew towards a pirate ship outside the Rocky Port in the distance. In Kuzan's sight, the shells landed accurately on the deck of the pirate ship. As the explosion sounded in the direction of the harbor, the sky-high flames instantly submerged the deck of the pirate ship.
The command ship's bombardment was like a flag in the commander's hand, and all the warships in the same line also began to bombard.
The artillery battle of the new navy is different from the old-fashioned round shells. The New World is rich in mineral resources. The new navy has also invested a lot of money in new weapons in recent years. This kind of shell with a sharp warhead was originally the idea of Jiguo Yuanyi in the early years. It was developed several years ago and put into use in the new navy.
This conical shell has stronger penetration, and it often only takes one shot to penetrate a wooden ship.
The weapons of the new navy are absolutely different from those of ordinary pirates. Let alone hitting "targets" like now, even if they are facing those pirate ships and launching artillery fire, they can't lose at all.
"ju——"
A sharp sonic boom sounded in the sky. The best choice for the pirates who had no way to escape was to abandon the ship and flee.
As one pirate ship after another was completely destroyed, Rocky Port was also plunged into a sea of fire.
It's not that there were no pirates trying to counterattack the attack of the New Navy, but the range of the shore artillery on Rocky Port could not reach the New Navy warships standing on a hundred-meter high platform thousands of meters away.
Things like cannons must have a range before talking about power.
The pirates' cannons couldn't even reach the New Navy, so talking about power seemed a bit ridiculous.
This artillery battle was a one-sided crushing. In just a few minutes, the pirate ships on the sea had been completely destroyed, and the defense facilities on Rocky Port were also turned into ashes under the bombardment of the New Navy.
There were no more pirates in the sight of the telescope in Kuzan's hand. Seeing that the bombardment was almost over, Kuzan also planned to change the tactics and launch a round of artillery fire on the entire Beehive Island first.
And just as Kuzan was about to give the order, a lieutenant hurried over to Kuzan and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Kuzan, there are many civilians who have been abducted by pirates on Beehive Island."
"We have to find a way to rescue them."
The adjutant was also a man with a clear mind, and he had already anticipated Kuzan's next move.
"Of course I know what you said."
"But if we go to the island now, the pirates' manpower is still very strong, and the landing battle will cause heavy casualties to our new navy."
"The lives of the people are precious, but I am more responsible for your lives."
"If the number of people who need to be sacrificed in the war is equal, as a commander, I certainly hope that the sacrifice is not you."
Kuzan's words are rational and cruel. He returned to the front line. Although he still had blood in his heart after fighting pirates in the New World for many years, he also became more rational. On the contrary, his adjutant was like Kuzan in his youth.
"Then let's strike these key targets first!"
However, Kuzan still took his subordinates' words to heart. The reason why he chose this new navy to be his adjutant was because the other party's personality was very similar to his own back then.
Kuzan suddenly made such a concession in the face of a lieutenant, and he also wanted to make up for the regrets of his "young self".
Back then, his superiors and companions were determined to kill everyone under the gun.
Kuzan thought of this and couldn't help but look sideways at Jiguo Yuanyi beside him.
The guy next to him was the one who stopped Sakaski in O'Hara.
But now, Jiguo Yuanyi's mentality seems to be different from that year.
