Chapter 35: Holloway Prison
Two days ago, in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Tallinn. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A man with sunken cheeks and grayish-brown skin sits on a throne. I saw a glimmer of light flash in his long narrow eyes, two thin lips gently hooked, and a faint smile hung on his face. Rubbing his slightly curvy goatee after work, he listened to the minister next to him report on the recent situation with great satisfaction.
The minister bent over, hunched back, head bowed, and slightly slumped, laboriously spoke in front of the man. From time to time, there was a coughing sound, and he looked sick.
"Your Majesty, according to the news from Redwood Island, your niece, Princess Renee, has found a good partner to work with, and left Hong Kong three days ago and headed for 'Holloway Prison', probably to rescue her father, ahem......"
Seeing that the minister was coughing, the man on the throne hurriedly asked, "National Teacher, your body doesn't matter, right?"
"Ahem, it's okay, you also know that I'm a capable person, this is a side effect of ability, haven't you seen any problems with me for so many years?" Ahem, ahem, ......" The middle-aged man known as the national teacher continued to cough and wave his hand, responding to his king.
"Oh, that's good. Who is Renee working with? It can't be the guys from Redwood Island, those people who claim to be absolutely neutral shouldn't help Renee's little girl. ”
The national teacher said that the object of cooperation, the king immediately guessed whether it would be the old Isaiah, the head of Redwood Island, that guy is an absolutely neutral existence.
"Ahem...... No, it's a pirate group, the Yunero Pirates. ”
"Pirates? Renee's little girl has fallen to such a point that she has put down her identity to seek help from lowly pirates, but Yunero's name is familiar. ”
At the mention of pirates, the king was disgusted, such a lowly thing could be connected with the Tallinn family, which was a noble family, and it was really a shame that Renee, the girl, could think of it, it was really insulting to the name of the Tallinn family.
"Hmm, Your Majesty, Yunero is the pirate who killed the Draco people before, and the news from the tip is that the Yunero Pirates have successfully occupied Redwood Island, cough cough...... Still can't be underestimated. ”
The national teacher kindly reminded the king, don't underestimate the enemy, Yunero is like a dazzling new star at this time, although I don't know if it's a comet or a star, but through here, they have to fight with twelve points of spirit to deal with it.
"Oh, it was that guy, hum, I didn't expect to take over Redwood Island, what a bold move. The previous behavior has angered the world government and the nobles, and the world government is the enemy, and even dare to occupy the island, is not afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the navy? ”
The king sneered and said, not looking down on Yunero's strength, but thinking that Yunero's steps were too big, and it was estimated that it would not be long before he would pull the egg.
"Since Renee, this girl, wants to meet her 'father', then it's just right, let their father and daughter meet in 'Holloway Prison' for eternity, haha......"
The king seemed to have a good intention, but when he spoke, he said it word by word, and accentuated the tone, and the national teacher naturally understood what he meant.
"Your Majesty, there is still something to report to you, also from three days ago. Wellington and Jeddy have returned to the rebels on Redwood Island, and now that the Cornish rebels are gathering in the kingdom and seem to be preparing to attack Princess Renee after they attack Holloway, should we defeat and arrest them now?"
The national teacher reported all the information at hand to the king and waited for the king's ruling.
The king shook his head and said slowly, "No, wait for them to gather for a while, and when Renee and her father 'meet', we will take advantage of the low morale of this rebel army to wipe them out." ”
"Yes!"
……
In a sea castle 27 nautical miles away from the Kingdom of Tallinn, the guards here had prepared for defense early, and they had received an order from the national teacher two days ago, and it was expected that a group of pirates would come to attack this sea castle today, rescue their accomplices, and let everyone take strict precautions.
This castle on the sea is known as the "Holloway Prison", a fortress-like castle located on the sea, so that the enemy can only attack in the direction of the sea. Of course, its solidity is not comparable to that of ordinary prisons, and in the entire One Piece world, I am afraid that only "Impel Prison" can compare to it.
On the castle's four watchtowers, the jailers have been on full alert for the past few days, and any other direction except underwater is in their field of vision.
The weather at this time was exceptionally clear, which gave the jailer on the watchtower a particularly wide view. Located at the watchtower in the east, the jailers could clearly see that there were four black dots on the sea to the southeast. The jailer on the watchtower raised the telescope and looked in that direction, and four warships, two of the two in two, appeared in the barrel of the telescope. The 4 ships are not ships of the Kingdom of Tallinn, nor are they ships of the Navy, but four pirate ships flying the black skull flag. The clever jailer looked up the pirate information that the Navy had recently sent down through the seagull, and looked for the pirate flags related to the flags flown by the four pirate ships.
"Found it, it's the 'Throne Skull' flag, the Yunero Pirates. A jailer on the watchtower finally found the corresponding flag and hurriedly reported the news.
"Sure enough, it's the Yunero Pirates, the kingdom's intelligence is correct, and the Yunelo Pirates are going to attack Holloway and rescue their companions. One of the jailers on the watchtower said, but after a moment's thought, "Did Holloway take these pirates from the East China Sea?"
Another sharp-eyed jailer suddenly said, "No, the intelligence says that the Yunero Pirates have 5 warships, one of which is a rather large flagship, as if it doesn't match the situation in front of you. ”
The jailer sighed and said, "Hehe, on the great voyage, such a huge warship is not so good, and the chaotic sea may have swallowed it to the bottom of the sea. Or is it such a huge battleship, his speed can't keep up with these four battleships, maybe these four battleships are just advances, or cannon fodder? Let's get closer and sink them. ”
The jailer saw the giant battleship he didn't see, so he was relieved, these 4 battleships alone looked like they couldn't break through Holloway, although they didn't know what the giant battleship looked like, and I believe they couldn't break Holloway.
Dozens of minutes later, 4 of the Yunero Pirates sailed within range of Holloway, and similarly, Holloway also appeared within range of 4 ships. The four battleships hurriedly lined up and prepared to attack Holloway. However, Holloway started firing early, but the shelling hit rate DEBUFF in the One Piece world didn't hit the 4 battleships.
On the contrary, the huge size returned to the castle, and after the four battleships were lined up, with the command of the command ship, dozens of guns roared in unison, and vented towards the sea castle of Holloway.
"Boom!!"
I felt the castle shake, and the eldest son of the jailer felt that the world was spinning, and he almost knocked him to the ground. I didn't expect the pirates' firepower to be so turbulent, although the hit rate of the shelling was low, but Holloway was a behemoth after all.
"No, bring the artillery from the other walls to support!!"
"Yes!"
A few minutes later, the firepower on the southeast wall increased sharply, and the four battleships instantly felt that they could not parry, and they were more or less hit by several shots, the worst of which was that the masts were all broken and lost the ability to maneuver.
However, the personnel in command on the battleship were not disappointed by this, but put on a smug smile.
"Hehe, the battle plan went unexpectedly smoothly, the firepower was attracted to the southeast, and the operation in the northwest is believed to be quite smooth. It is worthy of the plan made by the chief of staff of Cuenca, and it must not be long before the enemies who defend this place will cry. ”
