Chapter 618: I Just Want to Make a Big News! (Three in One)

After Kuzan's latest order was passed down, the new navy fleet standing on the ice platform also began to turn its guns. After clearing the pirate ships frozen on the ice, the new navy further "cleaned the ground" of Rocky Port on Beehive Island.

It must be admitted that there are still many talented people on this sea, and the resistance encountered by the new navy when bombarding Rocky Port was also much stronger. Various devil fruit abilities began to bloom over Rocky Port.

The pouring shells were continuously resisted.

However, facing the intensive bombardment of the new navy, even the pirates on Beehive Island were unable to cope with it, and often missed some shells.

These shells fell on the dock, and suddenly there was a loud roar. The flames and strong shock waves when the shells exploded also affected the pirates who struggled to resist.

A pirate holding a dagger was about to jump up and knock away an oncoming shell, but he accidentally ignored a shell that his companion missed and landed more than ten meters away from him.

Although the shells of the new navy fell on the ground and exploded, the blazing flames instantly crossed a distance of more than ten meters, and the flames rising from the explosion immediately engulfed the pirate.

Then, a new shell fell on the area where the pirate was just.

When the first shell landed on Rocky Port smoothly, the defense line spontaneously built by the pirates collapsed in an instant like a domino that was overturned.

More and more shells fell on the dock of Rocky Port, and thick smoke rose above the battlefield. As the pirates' vision was blocked by the smoke, the difficulty of resisting the bombardment of the new navy was also multiplied.

The pirates were cruel and bloodthirsty, but at the same time, these people were selfish and afraid of death. Seeing that the defense line they barely built was useless, the pirates' minds became active.

Since the way out to the sea has been blocked by the New Navy, and Rocky Port has been hit hard by the New Navy, the best way now is not to stay here and face the endless bombardment of the New Navy, but to move to the island and gather with more pirates, which will make people feel safe.

After realizing that it was the fleet of the New Navy that was attacking their pirate island, the pirates of Beehive Island still had a fluke mentality in their hearts. They felt that even if it was the New Navy, it might not be able to defeat their Beehive Island.

Today's world is completely different from the world when Tsugumi Yuichi was in charge of the New Navy.

The New Navy is now just one of the many "imperial" forces in the New World in the eyes of outsiders. Their Beehive Island is full of strong men, and like the New Navy, it is also one of the "imperial" forces.

The New Navy and their Beehive Island went to war head-on, and the outcome was still unknown.

Some pirates thought of this and immediately wanted to retreat. If they could, they certainly didn't want to fight the new navy, but the reality forced them to retreat to the island and gather with their half-familiar companions.

The pirates who had already wanted to retreat began to leave the battlefield one after another. Those who ran fast could survive by chance, and those who ran slowly were soon engulfed by the flames of the explosion of the shells.

On the command ship, Kuzan looked at the Rocky Port, which had almost been razed to the ground, and his expression did not change at all.

The people who died under the bombardment of the new navy should not only be the pirates on the Beehive Island, right? Rocky Port is one of the only two seaports on Beehive Island. There are usually many people who were captured and turned into slaves on the island to work at the dock.

Under this devastating blow, there should be many innocent lives taken away by Kuzan's order.

If it was Kuzan who was still in the Navy Headquarters, he would probably be very entangled in his heart, entangled in whether his orders were reasonable and whether there was a better way to fight these pirates.

But now Kuzan has long gotten rid of the naive and hesitant self.

He already knows clearly what he wants, and he can weigh the pros and cons and choose the most appropriate way to achieve his goal.

The fundamental purpose of the new navy coming to Beehive Island this time is not to rescue the people on Beehive Island, but to clear the pirates.

If he had to choose between the lives of his subordinates and the lives of ordinary people, Kuzan, as a general, gave priority to his subordinates.

In order to reduce the casualties of his subordinates as much as possible, Kuzan chose this way of attack.

However, his adjutant's words before still made Kuzan feel a little pity. Looking at the ruined Rocky Port, Kuzan used his ability, and the ice platform under the navy fleet began to rotate slowly under Kuzan's control.

The gun barrel on one side of the New Navy warship overheated due to continuous attacks. Kuzan used his ability to turn the fleet and aimed the other side of the warship at the Beehive Island.

As Kuzan's new instructions were passed down layer by layer, the fleet also began to quickly form a formation and fire at different important facilities on the Beehive Island.

Located in the center of the Beehive Island, Wang Zhi's palace-like residence naturally became one of the primary targets of the New Navy. Other targets included the weapons depot, the square where pirates liked to gather, and the gorgeous houses on the island.

The owner of a house with a gorgeous appearance in a place like Beehive Island must not be a slave who was captured on the island, right? !

Screams came from the sky above Beehive Island, followed by explosions and flames everywhere on the streets.

The streets were full of pirates running in all directions, but without the unified leadership of the captain, they were more like headless flies, not knowing where the navy's artillery fire would hit, and not knowing where to run at this time.

They wanted to leave Beehive Island, but the thick flames in the direction of Rocky Port were right in front of them. They wanted to leave from another port, but after running to the coast, the pirates found that the sea was covered with thick ice.

Some pirates did not believe in evil and started to make ice, hoping to "rescue" the ship from the freezing, but it took a lot of effort to make a five or six meter deep ice hole. A simple visual observation showed that the ice layer at the bottom of the hole was at least seven or eight meters deep.

The ability of Kuzan's ice fruit was so terrifying that it froze the sea around Beehive Island. The thickness of the ice layer was also extremely shocking. Most pirates were helpless against the ice that sealed the island. It was impossible for the pirates to melt the ice and leave here.

The front road was cut off and the back road was blocked.

The pirates who had no opinions could only passively rush towards the mansion where Wang Zhi was. The pirates' ideas were also very simple. At such an extraordinary moment, only Captain Wang Zhi, the owner of Beehive Island, could lead them to repel the enemy.

Even though Wang Zhi's residence is now the focus of the new navy, the pirates still gather in that direction.

The movements of the pirates on Beehive Island were also within the expectations of the new navy.

On the command ship, Kuzan was quietly observing the movements of the pirates on Beehive Island with a telescope in his hand, and a little relief appeared on his face.

"Very good, just as we expected, under the bombardment, the pirates began to spontaneously gather towards Wang Zhi's lair."

"At such a critical moment, how could the pirates who cherish their lives care about the lives of slaves?!"

"Holding on to Wang Zhi's thighs and running for their lives is what they will do!"

Kuzan said, turning his head slightly and speaking to his adjutant:

"Let's slow down the bombardment for now. We have to give the pirates some reaction time so that they dare to walk out of the shelter and gather towards Wang Zhi."

"Let Huangmu lead the team to the island, occupy Rocky Port, build fortifications, rescue the slaves first, and temporarily place them in Rocky Port!"

The actions of the new navy advanced in an orderly manner. After a bombardment, Kuzan also sent out a 200-man elite team headed by Huangmu.

In this operation, the new navy also sent out elite troops. Now Aramaki has become a rear admiral and is the leader of this elite force of the new navy.

Although the rank of rear admiral does not match Aramaki's current strength, Aramaki's promotion speed in the new navy is step by step, solid and fast. Now he has almost rotated in various positions and departments in the new navy.

Aramaki has been under Mihawk, under Yixiao, and now under Kuzan.

Although not every job transfer is accompanied by a change in rank, Aramaki himself can actually clearly feel the intention of the upper door of the new navy to cultivate himself. Every chief officer will even take time to guide him on specific affairs and help him understand the new navy system better.

Now Aramaki has returned to the front line again. Although he is only a rear admiral, everyone in the new navy knows that as long as Aramaki does not make any principled mistakes, the future is bright.

When Kuzan's military order reached Huangmu, he and his men were ready to go. When the order came, Huangmu clasped his hands together, and small trees grew out on the deck of the warship.

These emerging saplings grew very fast. Not long after, they actually grew out small wooden shuttles.

Each wooden shuttle can accommodate seven or eight people.

With the appearance of these wooden shuttles, the navy on the deck also moved together. According to the team formation, they carried the wooden shuttles and jumped off the deck.

Not long after, several people in the first team had boarded the wooden shuttles and slid down the ice field along the arc of the ice platform from top to bottom.

"Swish, swish, swish--"

One wooden shuttle after another fell from the ice platform, and then Huangmu also jumped up, and two wooden blades grew out of his feet, turning into a pair of ice knives. The next second after he landed on the ice, Huangmu was like an arrow from a bow, gliding rapidly towards the distant Honeycomb Island. It was so fast that it soon surpassed one wooden shuttle after another that was gliding.

"Oh, hoo--"

Huangmu seemed to still have some childishness. The cold wind whistled in his ears, and the fast gliding speed made him cheer happily.

He was like Yuri on ice, leaving clear scratches on the ice field while gliding.

Jiguo Yuichi on the command ship was also attracted by Huangmu's leading figure. He looked sideways slightly, and a little smile appeared on his face.

Although he did not personally contact Huangmu after returning, Jiguo Yuichi often only needed to sense a person's personality and temperament by sensing his breath.

The atmosphere of Huangmu is peaceful and moderate. Although his behavior is occasionally a little unruly, it is just a minor flaw and is harmless.

It can be seen that Zefa and Yixiao guided the young Aramaki very well.

Zefa has taught countless disciples in his life. Few of them have gone astray under his command. After leaving the deformed system of the Navy Headquarters, Zefa is still cultivating the backbone of the new navy.

Aramaki's current growth and development are inseparable from Zefa's planning and guidance for his future.

However, Aramaki himself does not know that every step of his journey was paved for him by Zefa in advance. He just follows Zefa's guidance and moves forward smoothly.

On Beehive Island, the people on the island were panicked due to the sudden bombardment of the new navy.

However, after a period of chaos, as Wang Zhi led a group of cadres from Beehive Island out of his palace, the chaotic situation quickly settled down.

When the pirates saw the captain appear, they cheered one after another, and then reported to Wang Zhi the situation on Beehive Island at this time, making it clear that the enemy was the new navy.

Of course, if Wang Zhi had to wait until now to learn this kind of information from these idiots, he would not have to continue to be the captain.

Now Wang Zhi, who is over 60 years old, is still vigorous, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes. Looking at the chaotic crowd, Wang Zhi's face showed displeasure.

There is no pure fool who can struggle in the quagmire of the New World and become a pirate of Beehive Island. Maybe they may appear short-sighted in some places, but in terms of observing words and expressions, they are all capable people.

After noticing that Wang Zhi was in a bad mood, the pirates also shut up tactfully, and the open space in front of Wang Zhi's palace soon returned to silence.

And until now, Wang Zhi slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Quiet!"

The prestige is very high.

After Wang Zhi glanced at his subordinates coldly, he looked towards the towering ice platform standing in the direction of Rocky Port.

The ice platform made by Kuzan is so huge that it can be seen clearly even in the center of the island.

After a moment of thought, Wang Zhi sneered:

"I haven't walked on this sea for many years. Now even those little devils of the New Navy have the courage to tease me?!"

"I wanted to see what kind of storms could happen between the New Navy and the World Government."

"Now it seems that we still have to dampen their enthusiasm."

"Let them know who can be provoked and who can't be provoked."

"Kill that popsicle boy, those guys should be able to calm down, right?!"

The popsicle boy Wang Zhi mentioned is Kuzan.

As a Four Emperors-level force, the New Navy and Beehive Island are different.

In Wang Zhi's view, Beehive Island can be revived and become one of the strongest forces in the New World because of his existence.

And the New Navy is riding on the residual power of Tsugikoku Yoriichi.

Although the people who lead the new navy now are quite powerful, they are far from the oppression that Tsukuni Yoshiichi brought to the world back then.

Wang Zhi was also afraid of the new navy under Tsukuni Yoshiichi's leadership, not the current one.

Tsukuni Yoshiichi once massacred their Beehive Island, but except for Tsukuni Yoshiichi, Wang Zhi was not afraid of anyone on this sea!

"Idiots, take your weapons and follow me to kill!"

"We are pirates, how can we allow others to attack without fighting back?!"

"Tear down that ice platform for me, kill all the navy, and repay blood with blood!"

Wang Zhi raised his arms and roared.

With the existence of the backbone, the morale of the pirates rose, and the cheers and shouts of the pirates rang out on the small square.

A stream of people rushed from the center of Beehive Island towards Rocky Port. Wang Zhi led a group of pirates and soon appeared in the field of view of Kuzan's telescope.

"That man is... the great pirate king Zhi!"

"This guy is out so quickly!"

Kuzan noticed Wang Zhi's figure and murmured.

The situation has changed slightly

Kuzan quickly put down the telescope, grabbed the communication phone next to him, and sent a message to Mihawk and others:

"I saw Wang Zhi personally leading people to attack in the direction of Rocky Port."

"No need to wait any longer, we will also go out and strangle Wang Zhi first!"

The appearance of Wang Zhi slightly disrupted the offensive rhythm of the new navy. The appearance of a top strongman has an extremely huge impact on the battle situation.

I thought they would only be able to see Wang Zhi after they attacked the island.

But I didn't expect that this "Four Emperors" would be so "impatient" and show up so quickly.

In fact, Kuzan didn't expect that the new navy was "nothing" in Wang Zhi's eyes. Facing the new navy, he was ready to fight back.

"Kuzan, Wang Zhi's ability is a bit strange."

"He seems to have the ability to move in space."

"The specific range of movement is not clear, and the limit is not clear."

"Be prepared for the worst."

"If we don't make a conservative estimate, his ability can be used without limit. If you want to kill him, you must take him by surprise."

"Don't surround him. If he realizes the gap between the enemy and us, he may run away."

"Let him see a little hope of winning and relax his vigilance. I will find an opportunity to kill him!"

At this time, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, who had always let Kuzan play, suddenly interrupted.

Tsugikoku Yoriichi realized that his trip to Beehive Island was not fully accomplished, and he had some vague guesses about Wang Zhi's ability.

He did not intend to talk to Wang Zhi about the code of conduct in the martial arts world, or the saying that "arrogant swordsmen cannot sneak attack".

Killing a pirate is killing a pirate, who cares how he killed the pirate? !

The result that Yoriichi wanted was the death of the pirate Wang Zhi, not to be praised as a "noble swordsman".

The heart of a strong man? !

Can that kind of thing kill a pirate?

Only a knife can kill a pirate!

Kuzan nodded slightly when he heard Tsugikoku Yoriichi's words, and then he also thought of something, contacted the vanguard, and warned them that the great pirate Wang Zhi had been dispatched, and asked Aramaki to be careful.

At the moment when the new navy transmitted the information, the vanguard led by Aramaki had already landed on Rocky Port.

The first thing Aramaki did when he arrived on the island was to use his ability to create a row of wooden fences, encircling the entire Rocky Port and forming a "position".

Just when he was about to let his men go into the island in groups to search and rescue civilians, Kuzan's message arrived.

Hearing that Wang Zhi, the leader of Beehive Island, had personally come out so quickly, Aramaki was also stunned and quite surprised.

But soon, he began to get excited.

Great Pirates!!!

For a new navy of his level, what could be more attractive than a great pirate? !

Although Aramaki's promotion in the new navy was smooth, he always felt that something was missing.

He thought for a long time before he understood where the "empty feeling" in his heart came from.

He has no record to show off!!!

Look at the senior leaders of the new navy, those people have followed Tsukuni Yoriichi to kill the strong men of the Holy Land.

Even Kuzan, a latecomer to the new navy, fought against the legendary pirates Shiki the Golden Lion and Kaido the Beast when he was young, and even fought against the "world's strongest" like Tsukuni Yoriichi and "retreat unscathed".

But since he joined the New Navy, his most impressive achievement so far is to capture and kill a "big pirate" with a bounty of 380 million berries.

Although he had a brief fight with the then Navy Admiral Akainu on the Island of Origin, that kind of thing is not something worth bragging about.

Not everyone is like Kakuzu in the Naruto world, who shouted every day that he had fought with the first generation after meeting the first generation. I don’t know if he killed Hashirama.

Aramaki urgently needs a big victory to add color to his "pale" achievements.

Although he has captured and killed many pirates in the New Navy over the years, in Aramaki’s opinion, no matter how many "small" pirates he kills, there is no way to compare with Wang Zhi, a pirate legend who survived from the Rocks era!

If he can kill Wang Zhi, his name will surely resound throughout the world!

Thinking of this, Aramaki licked his lips excitedly. Although he responded to Kuzan's words "obediently" in the Den Den Mushi, in his heart, he had actually planned to burst out with all his strength after meeting Wang Zhi and kill him in one fell swoop!

"Here it comes! Here it comes!!"

Aramaki felt a strong breath coming towards the direction of Rocky Port, and his observation Haki also locked the strongest breath among them.

Licking his lips that were slightly dry due to excitement, Aramaki murmured softly and looked down at his feet. Small flowers soon grew out of the ruins of Rocky Port and soon covered the entire dock.

The elegant fragrance was spreading on the dock.
