Chapter 193: Weird Deployment of Troops
Finally, under the three lines of defense carefully arranged by Moria, this group of pirates from the New World were finally wiped out.
One by one, the pirates either died in battle or became prisoners.
The Moria Pirates were all cheering. It seems that these pirates from the New World are not that powerful!
However, compared with the happiness of the Moria Pirates, the Navy was a little embarrassed.
How to say it?
Except for the first line of defense, when the three warships of the Navy fired a few shots together, there was no chance to shoot at the rest of the time. The members of the Moria Pirates solved the battle cleanly.
This is a pirate fleet composed of 20 pirate ships!
Although it was only temporarily formed and there was not much cooperation, the pirate group with the lowest bounty had 70 million Baileys, and the highest had reached 300 million Baileys. The pirate fleet with a total bounty of more than 2.4 billion Baileys was wiped out by your Moria Pirates. It was incredible.
Even though your Moria Pirates had the advantage of terrain and had made careful arrangements before, you won just like that?
Even your captain Moria did not make a move, relying only on the cadres and crew members under his command.
For a moment, everyone on the navy side had mixed feelings.
The navy could definitely deal with such a pirate fleet, but with so few casualties and in such a short time, even if the navy had the same advantage of terrain, it might not be able to do better than Moria.
Now it seems that the Devil's Pass built by Moria can really be called a "Devil's Pass" a little bit!
Moria is still very satisfied with such a result.
Although it is inseparable from his wise guidance, it is also inseparable from the hard training of his men.
Now Moria can say that at least in the first half of the Grand Line and the Four Seas, the strength of his pirate group, even if it cannot be ranked first, is definitely top-notch.
However, now is not the time to be happy.
This is just the beginning. The pirates swarming from the New World will continue to pass through their own devil gates. This will be a protracted war.
Moria quickly ordered the staff to quickly clean up the battlefield and transport the wounded according to the original plan, and the combatants began to take turns to rest.
In short, we must not be careless because of this victory.
As time goes by, more and more pirates will come here. Now we must seize all the available time to repair.
Who knows when those pirates will come, maybe during the day, maybe at night.
And according to intelligence, members of the Four Emperors Pirate Group will also be dispatched. At that time, the battle will not be so easy.
Of course, Moria will not be stupid and stop all these pirates from the New World.
After all, this is an impossible task.
Didn’t you see that the defense line built by the navy in the Sabaody Archipelago still leaked so many pirates?
The navy is letting the water, why do you work so hard?
Moreover, for example, some pirates with bounties exceeding 1 billion berries and the Four Emperors Pirates are not something Moria can afford to offend now.
In short, I'd better take it slow first!
However, when talking about the Four Emperors Pirates, Moria couldn't help but feel hatred in his heart.
Most of the pirates can be let go by Moria, but if it is the Beasts Pirates, even if Moria has no way to defeat them, if they want to pass through here, even if they don't die, they must be skinned.
This is a pain that cannot be erased in the heart. Even though Moria has already changed his soul, the consciousness deep in his memory tells himself that he should never forget the pain brought by the Beasts Pirates.
The logistics troops had just cleaned up the battlefield when the battle alarm sounded.
However, this time, it was not 20 pirate ships like before, but scattered, 2 or 3 pirate groups, coming slowly back and forth.
This seems to be much easier to deal with than the pirate fleet just now, but no one dared to let down their guard.
Because such a pirate group is much more difficult to deal with than the pirate fleet just now.
Pirate groups with insufficient strength will huddle together for warmth like just now.
And the real big pirates, everyone has the pride of being a strong man, and also has confidence in their own strength, and naturally, they disdain to be with others.
Therefore, these few lonely pirate groups are likely to be strong.
If so, Moria will have a headache.
After all, his own arrangement is not afraid of too many people, but afraid of too few people, especially the kind of large pirate group with one ship.
In this case, the artillery will not play much role at all, and will only waste shells in vain, causing unnecessary casualties. But if Moria does not fire a shot and lets it go, then Moria is too embarrassed to be honest.
After all, he is also a Shichibukai, and dares to challenge the Four Emperors Kaido Pirate Group. Doesn't it seem that he is just a show-off?
So, in this case, how to fight, neither too easy nor too serious, this requires Moria to grasp a degree.
However, the luck is still good now. According to the pirate flag, the bounties of these three pirate groups are all around 100 million Baileys, which are not the large pirate groups that we imagine.
At this level, Moria's men can deal with it.
Unlike Moria's leisure, the navy stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago is fighting fiercely.
Because there are many islands in the Sabaody Archipelago, the pirates are not floating in the same place. Therefore, although the navy has deployed heavy troops, it is impossible to take care of all of them. No one knows where the pirates will float, so the navy can only run around.
This method not only makes the defense line sparse and fragile, but also the effort and reward are not proportional. When the navy's reinforcements arrive, the pirates have already fled.
Fortunately, the navy has already considered this aspect, so it is Admiral Aokiji who is deployed here. He uses his fruit ability to directly freeze the sea surface of the Sabaody Archipelago, so that the pirates cannot float here.
In this way, the Sabaody Archipelago can be protected from the invasion of pirates.
However, the main task of the navy is to try to intercept the pirates. After all, if the pirates do not surface from the Sabaody Archipelago and sneak directly to the Seven Waters, all these lines of defense will be in vain.
Therefore, Aokiji did not dare to freeze the entire sea surface directly. He must leave enough sea surface to allow the pirates to surface.
For the navy's deployment of troops, Moria's staff also made many deductions, as if the pirates were deliberately allowed to reach the Seven Waters.
After all, the current coating technology is not impossible to support the pirate ship to sneak directly from the New World to the Seven Waters.
Otherwise, in the original work, how did the Whitebeard Pirates reach the Navy Headquarters?
Therefore, the conclusion deduced by Moria's staff is that the navy must have a backup plan.
Previously, Moria wanted to cooperate with the World Government and set up strict defenses in his Devil Pass, which was also a test of the World Government's plan. But unfortunately, Moria did not get any useful information.
I just don't know what the Navy is up to.
