Chapter 307: The Pirates Suffer Heavy Losses (Please Subscribe)
When Long, the leader of the revolutionary army, declared war on the World Government in the Windless Belt, a new round of time warping in the New World escalated again.
In the new world, the third chain of defense of the BIG.MOM family is facing a tense confrontation.
The navy has been lingering on the waters here for a long time.
Taking advantage of artillery, they continued to bombard the pirates stationed by the Big Mom Pirates.
Charlotte Katakuri, who was injured in a battle with the navy a few days ago, is patrolling the island wrapped in gauze.
The navy's continuous pressure made him very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it.
In the past time, their mother Charlotte Lingling almost gave up the pursuit of technology, and instead focused on the pursuit of pleasure.
Therefore, the Charlotte family was in a state of being overwhelmed by the navy's equipment.
The naval fleet is like a hungry wolf, it will bite whenever it sees the emptiness of the pirates' defense.
During this period of time, the pirates of the Charlotte family continued to lose money. If it weren't for Katakuri's strong pressure, many pirates would have left the third defense chain long ago.
"Damn it, the navy launched another artillery attack."
In the underground cave where the artillery was defended, Katakuri slapped the table hard.
Several days had passed, and he still couldn't accept the news of Cracker's death. If he hadn't thought that Charlotte Lingling was suppressing Katakuri to prevent him from getting involved,
Maybe Katakuri will choose to fight the navy after returning to Cake Island.
"Brother Katakuri, the navy's offensive is getting stronger and stronger. Now the pirates in front can no longer withstand it. They have asked us to retreat for repairs."
A girl from the Charlotte family said.
Katakuri's face was full of ruthlessness:
"Tell them that the pirates have no choice to retreat. They can either choose to withstand the pressure of the navy or die in my hands."
"It is impossible for the navy to let any pirate go. Each of them has a lot of lives in their hands. Even if they leave here, they will be caught and executed by the navy.
9. That's the truth.
This is why the pirates will not retreat no matter how serious their losses are, because the navy really does not leave any survivors.
For those who are forced to a dead end, no matter how crazy the choice is, they will not give up. Their only hope is that the Three Emperors Pirates, led by Charlotte Lingling, can unite with the pirates in the New World to defeat the navy and once again Drive out of the New World's sphere of influence.
Otherwise, all the pirates will have to finish the game together.
At this moment, on the navy warship.
Zefa sat on the warship covered in gauze, looking at his old friend in front of him with a speechless expression.
‘I thought you didn’t care about this anymore, why are you here? "
Looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, Zefa was very curious.
Because sitting in front of him was Monkey D. Karp, the former vice admiral, legendary sailor, and naval hero.
Garp also had a helpless expression on his face and said:
"There is no way. I owed Luo Li a favor a long time ago, and now Luo Li uses him to exchange for me to deal with Charlotte Lingling."
Zefa nodded.
For a person like Garp who does whatever comes to his mind, the only thing left to restrain him is human kindness.
"By the way, does it matter if the dragon declares war on the World Government?"
As a high-ranking member of the navy, Zefa knew more than others even in a semi-retired state.
At least he knew full well that Long, the leader of the revolutionary army, was Garp's son.
"I don't understand Long's thoughts. He has grown up and has his own chosen path. Right and wrong have no meaning. Long will not listen to us."
Garp sighed.
Speaking of which, Long was once the person he placed the most hope on, because Long was very talented and had a particularly high IQ.
During the Navy period, Long's performance was very good.
At the beginning, Garp was very optimistic. He even thought that if Long continued in this step-by-step manner, maybe Long would have a great chance of reaching the position of navy marshal.
Who knows, after performing a mission on Marie Joa, Long suddenly lost trust in the navy and quit the navy without hesitation.
Garp was really angry at that time. He originally thought he could persuade Long to turn back.
But Long's determination shocked him greatly, so he had no choice but to let Long try.
I just didn't expect that after so many years, Long would actually challenge the world government.
Now Garp only places his hopes on his grandson who has not yet grown up.
Little did he know that his last hope was currently floating on a small boat in the East China Sea, and he swore to become the Pirate King.
"Let's not talk about it for now. Raleigh asked me to bring the order for a strong attack. He thinks that there are still some unfinished conditions between Charlotte and Shanks, so let us seize the time and at least bring Charlotte Te Lingling was seriously injured, destroying the alliance between the two emperors."
The reason is also very simple. Charlotte Lingling's strength is also at the mid-to-high level among the Three Emperors. Her terrifying defense and strength make even the top naval forces afraid.
It's just that Charlotte Lingling's shortcomings are greater than Shanks, and her IQ is lower than Shanks, so she is less dangerous in the navy than red-haired Shanks.
"There is no problem. After these days of artillery consumption, the morale of the pirates is low. They can launch a strong attack to break the third defense chain."
Zefa nodded and quickly agreed.
For this purpose, he specially communicated with Borsalino and asked Borsalino to cooperate with him in the attack to delay the reaction time of the Red Hair Pirates.
After getting Borsalino's promise, Zephyr began to prepare for the war.
When the sun rose again, the entire navy fleet had made all preparations.
There were no slogans that excited people, no pre-war mobilization, they landed on the warships docked in the port in silence.
Launched a swift attack on the third defense chain.
"Lord Katakuri, all the navy is pressing on."
Katakuri, who had just woken up, was still eating when a pirate rushed into his palace and saw Katakuri's open bloody mouth.
"Lord Katakuri... I... didn't mean it. "
After seeing Katakuri's terrifying side, the pirate said in panic. Katakuri put down the donuts in his hand, took out his spear and threw it, nailing the pirate to the ground.
Then he swallowed the remaining donuts and walked out of the palace.
When passing by the pirate's body, Katakuri pulled out the spear stuck in the ground.
"Has the navy's general attack begun? "
While walking out, Katakuri was thinking in his mind.
Boom!
The navy's artillery seemed to want to blow the entire island to pieces, and the sky was full of flying shells.
Every shell that fell into the fortifications would always take away a few unlucky pirates at random.
The remaining pirates, with various injuries, huddled tightly in the place they thought was the safest, waiting for the artillery to stop.
The navy's warships stopped one nautical mile away from the island and began to attack the island from here.
And some warships had already begun to lower assault boats for the navy soldiers who were preparing for landing operations.
Under the cover of artillery, the navy soldiers landed on the island almost without any danger.
But they knew in their hearts that this was just the beginning.
The real danger was still behind.
Behind countless bunkers, there were densely packed pirates ready to attack them at any time. They would kill them mercilessly when the navy was not paying attention. Time passed bit by bit.
As the sun rose in the sky, At the highest point, the navy's artillery had already stopped.
The high-intensity bombardment had caused the artillery on the warship to begin to deform and could no longer fire.
Close combat and gunfights became the main means of engagement.
Large tracts of land were stained red with blood, and the bodies of the navy and pirates lay entangled in one place... :
When the sun fell to the sea level again, there were almost no pirates alive on the front line of the island.
The setting sun was like blood, reflecting on the land.
In the center of the island, in the solid fortifications, Katakuri was also very depressed.
During the day, he had planned to use his abilities to stop the navy's attack.
But when he appeared, more than a dozen vice admirals in the navy gave up their targets without explanation and planned to surround and destroy him.
If Katakuri had not been keenly aware of the crisis with his observation Haki, he might have been killed by the vice admiral.
Just like his brother Cracker, he had no power to fight back.
"Hasn't mom's reinforcement arrived yet?
Katakuri asked his sister beside him.
His sister also looked very ugly, with a pale face full of fear:
"Mom's bulimia has recurred. I can only pass the news to the ministers.
As for when Mom will be better, I don't know."
Bang!
Katakuri's iron fist hit the table.
If it weren't for Mom's bulimia, their Charlotte family would never have reached this point.
"Brother Katakuri, what should we do now?"
Looking at his crying sister, Katakuri gently touched her head and said:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here and you won't get hurt."
The battle between the navy and the pirates temporarily entered a state of rest. The navy, which had been attacking for a whole day, was now very tired, and the pirates who had fought for their lives were also tired.
Now, they just wanted to have a good sleep, and they didn't think about whether they could wake up.
The leaders of both sides tacitly agreed that they would not launch an attack tonight, but tacitly thought of tomorrow's daytime.
After all, most of the people participating in the battle were ordinary people, and they simply didn't have enough physical strength to persist in fighting for a day and a night.
Those who are strong are a minority after all.
However, even when they were resting, they did not leave at all.
The navy set up the tent directly five miles away from the pirate fortifications.
Because this is the maximum distance of the pirates' artillery, it is very safe.
Even if Katakuri wants to sneak attack the navy, he is not afraid. With the combat power of more than a dozen vice admirals and two quasi-admirals, Katakuri can tear him apart completely as long as he comes.
Of course, Katakuri is not that stupid, but his ideas are different from others.
In the deepest night, when all the navy and pirates who participated in the daytime battle were sleeping soundly, Katakuri commanded several children of the Charlotte family to carry some things onto a small boat.
"Brother Katakuri, aren't you going with us?"
The children of the Charlotte family on the boat said reluctantly.
Katakuri shook his head and said:
"My mother's order to me is to guard the third chain of defense. I must guard here until my mother gives a new order."
"Besides, the third defense chain is already very close to Cake Island. If this place is captured by the navy, it will be useless even if I return to Cake Island."
"I am a key figure in the Charlotte family. It is impossible for the Navy to let me go. Even if I escape from here and Cake Island, I will eventually be found and killed by the Navy from an unknown island."
Katakuri thought very clearly that if the island could be defended, the navy would be severely wiped out.
His previous conversation with Red-Haired Shanks would do the trick.
But if the island under his feet cannot be defended and the navy really starts to attack Cake Island, then red-haired Shanks will most likely give up his proposal.
"It's getting late, let's go quickly, don't be discovered by the navy.'
Katakuri gently pushed the boat with his hand and quietly sent it out of the port.
In the navy's temporary conference room, several vice-admirals, Zefa, and Garp were having a meeting. They opened the door with a smile and walked in:
"Smile, you're here."
"This is former Vice Admiral Monkey D. Karp."
Zefa gave a brief introduction.
Yixiao nodded and said politely:
"I have heard of Lieutenant General Garp's reputation a long time ago. He is indeed a man who can chase the Pirate King Roger all over the sea.
Garp hummed in response.
Yixiao said:
"Chief Instructor Zefa, Charlotte Lingling seems to have fallen into a strange disease. When I was conducting reconnaissance over Cake Island, I found that she seemed to have lost her normal way of thinking and only kept eating."
"And in the process, no one else on Cake Island dared to go near her."
"If I weren't worried that this was a trap set by Cake Island, I would have tested Charlotte Lingling's authenticity."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zefa's face, and he coughed twice before saying:
"Mr. Yixiao, I forgot to tell you about this."
"Charlotte Lingling does suffer from a weird disease, which is called siphoria by the Charlotte family. When this disease attacks, if there is not enough food, Charlotte Lingling will enter a violent state. , crazily destroying everything around it.”
"In the past, among the Charlotte family, only Katakuri could temporarily resist Charlotte Lingling's rampage. The crisis could be solved until others brought food."
He smiled and nodded in understanding:
"So that's it. Next time Chief Instructor Zefa can tell me the information in advance."
"Then when Charlotte Lingling suffers from siorexia, will her strength deteriorate?"
Zefa looked at Yixiao with a serious face and said:
"Regarding this, I was just about to tell you that when Charlotte Lingling's thiorexia broke out, although she couldn't think, with her powerful body, she still had the strength of the Three Emperors, and she was not easy to deal with. "
