Chapter 414 The Emperor and General! (2-in-1)
Pirates are synonymous with selfishness, cruelty, and cunning. Pirates who can survive in the chaotic sea can be said to be not easy characters to deal with.
There are countless idiots who are brainless, but those people are often the first ones to sink into the deep sea.
The fact that the Big Mom Pirates have been able to stand in the new world for such a long time relies not only on Big Mom's own unparalleled talent and strength.
After these years of management, Wanguo has long been built as a monolith by the Big Mom Pirates. When war comes, Wanguo, which has been in a state of "small-scale conquest" for a long time, only needs a little reaction time, and will soon be able to transform itself. war potential exploded.
In the thick fog, seeing the black boat shadow getting closer and closer, the smile on the crane's face gradually faded, and his expression became serious.
"clang--"
"clang--"
The anomalies in the distant sea were noticed by more and more navies. Alarm bells blared instantly in the port. The crew members called out to their comrades. Various naval commanders also received reports from their subordinates one after another and returned to the port immediately. On the warship under his command.
Kuzan also hurried back to the command ship, and when he appeared on the deck, Big Mom's pirate fleet was only a kilometer away from the port.
The harbor has already entered the range of the pirate fleet.
The craftsmanship of the pirate ship's shipbuilding and cannons is very backward compared to that of the navy. Only within a range of 1,500 yards can the pirate ship's guns be able to carry out effective strikes, and at this distance, The accuracy of the naval gun is very impressive.
Although the pirates of the New World engage in naval battles all year round, they are very capable and engage in boarding battles far more often than they engage in naval battles. Manipulating cannons also requires some experience.
"JU——"
A sharp whistling sound came from the thick fog. The pirate fleet took the lead in launching an attack. A cannonball broke through the fog and landed in the sea hundreds of meters away in front of the harbor, exploding into a spray.
The pirates' accurate shooting is really touching.
However, this is just a routine test firing. After adjustment, the pirate fleet's bombardment will cover the entire harbor.
What the navy will face by then is that before the warship can leave the port, the ship will be destroyed by the pirate fleet.
Just like when the navy entered Wanguo at night a few days ago and attacked the pirates.
"Enemy attack!"
"Order that everyone return to their assigned posts and all warships docked in the port set sail immediately."
"Close defense troops, counterattack."
"At the same time, notify the commanders at all levels on other islands to be on guard against attacks by pirates."
"All patrol ships outside will return to the island immediately and shrink their defense lines."
Kuzan's order was quickly passed on to the navy under his command through the mouth of the herald. Although his instructions were not detailed, at this time, this kind of general direction was enough. The remaining details are left to the commanders at all levels to enrich themselves.
He just needs to control the general direction.
In fact, many things did not even require Kuzan's personal order before the navy would take action.
There are many naval officers at all levels, including vice generals, rear admirals, etc. in the battlefield of all nations. When faced with a sudden attack, some warships began to take action before Kuzan's order was issued.
One by one, warships quickly sailed out of the port. Although they could not figure out the specific location of the pirate ships in the thick fog, they estimated the direction of the just bombardment, and some warships also tried to fight back.
At the same time, the pirate fleet's bombardment also officially began.
The accuracy of the pirates is indeed not very good, but they can't handle the large number!
Densely packed shells flew out of the thick fog, pouring down towards the harbor of Coco Island like raindrops. With so many artillery shells, there is always a batch that can hit the navy on the head.
The screams of the pirates and navy's shelling were endless. Most of the incoming shells landed on the sea and exploded, but some also landed on the coast and landed on warships that failed to sail in time.
The loud roar soon spread throughout Coco Island, and the thick firelight dispersed a little of the thick fog that shrouded the harbor.
"Dong dong dong dong——"
The coastal defense artillery that had been deployed earlier began to fire, and the uniform sound of the artillery cheered up the spirits of the navy who were hurriedly going to sea.
The shells quickly flew out of Coco Island and fell into the thick fog. After a while, there were loud roars in the thick fog. Some shells were detonated in the air, and some shells were successfully hit. Some pirate ships in the fog, and the flames ignited on the pirate ships can be detected by the navy even through the thick fog.
Kuzan, the naval admiral, was not idle for a moment while the two sides were bombarding. As more and more warships left the port, the warships in the offshore position also turned their hulls and aimed their side guns. The shadow of a black ship in the thick fog in the distance.
The navy has side cannons, dozens of them on each side, but pirates, very few pirate ships have such technology.
Kuzan is very aware of his own advantages. He is not afraid of this kind of naval bombardment at all. In order to fully exert his own advantages, he also uses his Devil Fruit ability.
"Ice Age!"
Kuzan's figure quickly jumped out from the command ship and soared into the air. At the same time, he also quickly shot two huge icicles from his hands and submerged directly into the sea.
The ability of the frozen fruit was activated, and the turbulent sea surface was instantly frozen into solid ice. At the same time, the ability of the frozen fruit was still spreading rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the entire harbor turned into an ice field, and the ice surface extended towards the distant sea. Go and instantly spread into the thick fog.
The temperature, which could only be called "cool" at first, took a sharp turn at this moment.
As the sea breeze blew, a biting chill rushed into people's hearts. Many warships were immediately frozen on the ice, and the ice quickly spread to the hull, covering the surface of the warships and putting a thick layer of ice armor on the warships.
The warships that were originally rising and falling with the waves came to a standstill, and the navies who were loading cannonballs continued their work after a brief daze.
"Is this the ability of General Kuzan?"
"Are the warships frozen on the ice?"
"In this case, wouldn't we become a living target?"
On a certain warship in the harbor, the young navy stared at the ice field created by Kuzan, his eyes widened. While he was surprised by Kuzan's terrifying ability, he couldn't help but question Kuzan's intention of doing this.
The warship's ability to move was restrained, and some young navy felt a little uneasy. After all, this way, they would have no ability to evade when facing enemy bombardment.
Although normally, when the cannonball comes overhead, it is difficult for the ship to avoid it by relying on its own maneuverability.
"Live target?"
"Our navy is not the only one who has become a target!"
"Isn't the enemy the same as us?"
"In an artillery battle, will our navy lose to the pirates?"
The worries of the young navy were not unreasonable, but the commander of the ship had no such worries at all. Instead, his blood surged and he ordered to the sailors on the ship:
"Don't stop, keep bombarding!"
"The enemy's ships should be unable to move. This is our chance!"
"All the artillery on the left wing have been removed. They are not used anyway. They are all arranged on the deck of the right wing!"
"Prepare the rope ladder. If the warship suffers irreversible damage, disembark."
The commander's voice reached the ears of many sailors on the deck. Listening to the commander's decisive tone, the sailors also looked solemn and responded in unison: "Yes! Major General!"
In the thick fog on the far sea of Coco Island.
The mighty pirate fleet suddenly stopped, and the ice spread rapidly from the direction of Coco Island, freezing the fleet on the sea in an instant.
On the Queen Mother Anthem, Charlotte Katakuri was the first to notice the anomaly on the sea. However, before he could make a move, the ice quickly extended and froze Big Mom's ship on the sea.
At the same time, a series of shells screamed in the air and fell towards the fleet. The accuracy and density of the shelling far exceeded the attack of the Heize fleet.
The navy can accurately launch counterattacks by relying on the direction and sound of the bombardment. This quality is not possessed by the pirates.
"Stopped?"
"Why did the ship stop?" Under the cover of thick fog, some people did not notice the situation on the sea. When they noticed that the moving ship had stopped, their first reaction was that the ship's power system had failed.
As several biscuit soldiers held biscuit shields and flew to block several cannonballs that landed on the ship, Cracker had a surprised look on his face and quickly walked to the side of the ship and looked towards the sea.
The coolness hit his face. Looking at the sea that turned into an ice sheet, Clark was in a trance.
"What's going on?"
“The sea is frozen into ice!!!”
Clark shouted in a low voice, and his shout instantly attracted the attention of the brothers and sisters on the ship.
Katakuri's face darkened, and he quickly walked to Big Mom's side and reminded in a low voice: "MAMA, this should be."
Before Katakuri could finish speaking, Big Mom interrupted:
"ah!"
"It's the power of the Devil Fruit!"
"The navy has people with outstanding abilities!"
Katakuri saw that MAMA seemed to be "in good condition" today, so he continued to ask: "What should we do now?"
Facing Katakuri's inquiry, Big Mom showed a bright smile, slowly stood up from the pink cake chair, and shouted to the crew on the ship:
"How to do it?"
"Of course I killed him!"
"Follow me!"
After the words fell, Big Mom shouted: "Zeus!"
Along with Big Mom's shouts, a "white cloud" quickly flew out from behind Big Mom, and Big Mom's huge body also jumped up nimbly and stood firmly on Zeus.
Raising his hand, he gently took off the pink pirate hat on his head, and Big Mom pulled out a broadsword - Napoleon. At the same time, Prometheus didn't need Big Mom to shout at all and was on Big Mom's head in an instant.
"spread!"
"Ichiku!"
Big Mom's eyes flashed fiercely as he entered the fighting state, and he shouted in a low voice.
"Okay, MAMA!"
Zeus shouted excitedly, carrying Big Mom and flew directly towards Coco Island.
plan? Strategy?
Is that kind of thing of any use in the face of absolute power?
Facing the navy, there is only one thing Big Mom wants to do, and that is to use its own power to crush all the enemies.
After Kuzan used his ability to freeze the ice, he quickly landed on his warship. He looked at more and more ship shadows falling into the sea of fire in the thick fog. With his indifference, he couldn't help but feel a little happy and gently supported him. He adjusted his sunglasses and put a faint smile on his lips.
He could notice that Kuzan's mood had improved a bit, and he was worried that the boy would get carried away, so he reminded:
"Since the Big Mom Pirates have organized a counterattack, they can't just go to this level."
"That's a female pirate who can keep up with people like Whitebeard and Roger. Don't take her lightly."
"I think they'll be there soon."
Before He could finish his words, a blush suddenly appeared in the distant sky. It was difficult to see clearly under the cover of thick fog, but as a burst of laughter came from the air, both Kuzan and He's expressions darkened.
"MAMAMAMA——"
A middle-aged woman wearing a pink dress with a somewhat out-of-shape figure, her head burning with fire and her feet riding on white clouds, appeared over the port.
The moment he saw the person coming, Kuzan recognized the other person’s identity:
"BIG MOM!"
Kuzan's low voice seemed to attract Big Mom's attention. Of course, maybe it was because Kuzan's aura was stronger than the others. In short, Big Mom's figure in the air paused and his eyes swept over the crane. Passed by, and then fell on Kuzan.
"Are you Admiral Aokiji?"
"You dare to attack my kingdom. It seems that you are ready to die!"
Big Mom didn't mean any nonsense at all. She raised her left hand and the flames surrounding her head quickly "jumped" into her palm.
Holding Prometheus in one hand, Big Mom's figure jumped directly from Zeus:
"Fire from heaven!"
As Big Mom let out a frightening roar, Prometheus was directly hit by Big Mom towards Kuzan's warship.
Kuzan raised his head, and the fire in the sky was reflected in his pupils. His face was silent. As he breathed, Kuzan spit out a thin layer of ice. He raised his hand and drew a stroke in front of him, and a hemispherical ice mirror quickly emerged from the ice. It extended out and instantly enveloped the warship.
"boom!!!"
Flames crashed down, and under Big Mom's attack, the ice mirror made by Kuzan using frozen fruits was melting rapidly, and the sound of "sizzling" was endless.
On the warship, the navy showed no fear at all when faced with Big Mom's attack. They all stood on the deck with calm expressions, quietly looking at the flames in the sky that were isolated by the ice mirror.
"call--"
After a long time, the flames gradually extinguished, and Prometheus floated into the air again, accompanying Big Mom.
Big Mom lowered her head and looked at the huge ice mirror covering the warship below, and couldn't help but shrink her pupils.
Her attack only created a large crater in the ice mirror created by Kuzan, and did not affect the navy behind the ice mirror.
The marine actually blocked his attack with a raised hand. This situation somewhat surprised Big Mom.
She did not expect that in addition to the old guys and "little guys" like Yunichi Jiguo, the Navy actually had strong men of this level.
"MAMAMAMA——"
Staring at Kuzan standing on the bow of the ship, Big Mom chuckled.
It looks like she won't be bored anymore!
"I haven't fought with anyone for a long, long time!"
"navy!"
Faced with Big Mom's threatening words, Kuzan stretched out his arms, and three ice spears quickly formed around him.
"BIG MOM..."
"If we deal with you here, our navy's losses in this war can be controlled!"
