After bringing Loria to the research base, it was a great help, and some of the opinions made by Loria amazed those scientists, exclaiming that Loria was a genius in scientific research. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, although Loria was able to come up with a complete idea, Shunan still couldn't make the cannon before the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates, because it was too complicated.

Compared with the stupid big black and rough image made before, the redesigned cannon is simply exquisite, like a handicraft.

After approaching the island of Sasaria, the Whitebeard Pirates didn't have any intention of staying anywhere else, and instead rushed all the way here.

However, the movements of their fleet could not be concealed from anyone, and the NEO Navy was ready on the island of Sasaria before they even came into view.

It's impossible to go out to sea and engage the Whitebeard Pirates, because to do so is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!

Although the warships of the NEO Navy are much more advanced than those pirate ships, they are numerically flawed.

However, the cannons on the warship are a good thing, and in order to deal with the upcoming white-bearded pirates, Zefa ordered all the cannons on the warship to be removed and placed on the shore.

Especially after seeing the giant cannons named by Shunan as the challenger, Zefa completely lost interest in these cannons.

He was now anxious to see what the rock giant ship in the distance that had slowly begun to emerge would look like when it was finished.

This expectation peaked especially after Shunan told him that the Vengeance would carry more than ten Challengers and other cannons.

Zefa has stopped the idea of continuing to build warships, because instead of spending a lot of Bailey to build warships, it is better to invest these Baileys in recruitment.

Since everything of the Revenge comes from the underground rocks of Sasaria, it doesn't cost much other than the metal needed to make the Challenger Cannon.

As long as there is Xiunan, this coolie is almost free!

However, Zefa encountered difficulties when he tried to recruit troops on the island of Sassaria, as there was no difference between a neo navy and a pirate in the eyes of these inhabitants.

In their eyes, the NEO Navy simply drove out the Whitebeard Pirates and became the new masters of the island.

It can be said that the inhabitants of these people have been prepared for this after Whitebeard's death, and they only hope that the pirates who will occupy this place will be merciful in the future.

The NEO Navy lived up to their expectations, just collecting a certain amount of taxes here and not bullying them.

But that doesn't mean they will be grateful for the NEO Navy, which will be difficult to recruit soldiers unless the NEO Navy wins the hearts of the people here in the future.

Zefa also knew this, so he did not force the inhabitants, and the improvised soldiers did not have much combat effectiveness.

In his frequent conversations with Shunan, Zefa slowly changed his mind, rather than exhausting all the blood of the NEO Navy and constantly exterminating the pirates, it is better to put an end to this evil era once and for all.

....................................

In the distance in the direction of the port of Sasaria Island a hill has already appeared that is completely out of proportion to the environment.

This is the position that Shunan specially prepared for the Challenger cannon, and Shunan has been debugging it here since receiving a report from the submarine force that the fleet of the Whitebeard Pirates is heading in this direction.

The assembled Whitebeard Pirates did not see the need for their own troops, but sailed towards the harbor with great vigour.

This also made Shunan breathe a sigh of relief, although the traps he had laid in other directions would not work, but the NEO Navy did not need to divide forces.

There weren't many people in the bunker on the hill, except for Shunan and some soldiers who needed to observe the location of enemy ships and calculate the angle of the cannon for Shunan.

Because the rest of the work can be done by only Xiu Nan alone.

"Hasn't it shown up yet?" asked Shunan, the Challenger cannon under his feet already reloaded, ready to fire.

"Not yet......

No, there's a mast!" said the NEO Navy soldier holding a telescope after seeing the mast appearing on the horizon.

However, the current distance is not enough to fire, and even if it is fired, it will only waste ammunition and will cause the enemy to be alerted.

It wasn't until the Whitebeard Pirate fleet completely appeared in Xiunan's sight that Xiunan was finally ready to fire.

The Whitebeard Pirates still don't know what they're going to face, or if it's not a long way apart between the ships as in previous battles.

Following the observer's instructions, Shunan took control of the Challenger cannon and aimed it at the enemy, then motioned for everyone present to put on earmuffs.

And then.....

Armed with color hardening!

Rumble!!!!!

The roar of the Challenger cannon represents the official start of this war!

On the other side, the people on the ship of the Whitebeard Pirates saw only the sudden flash of fire on the island of Sasaria.

"Is it a cannon?, but how can a cannon be reached so far?!" Marco, who had been paying attention to the other side, looked puzzled.

But his face changed immediately, as he saw two black dots in the air.

"Damn! watch out for the shelling from the opposite side. Marko didn't have time to think about why the range of the artillery on the other side could be so far.

Unfortunately, the next second after he finished roaring, the cannonballs fell.

One cannonball missed the sea and exploded, setting off waves more than 20 meters high, while the other cannonball did not hit the pirate ship, but after grazing the stern, the explosives compressed by Shunan directly blew the stern of the pirate ship to pieces.

The battered pirate ship instantly lost its ability to move forward, and the hull of the ship began to flood in large quantities.

"Help!"

The people on the surrounding pirate ships approached and prepared to save people.

However, this behavior made Marco anxious for a while.

Sure enough, before they could save the man who had fallen into the water, the second round of shells came.

With Shunan's ability, the Challenger cannon reloads quickly, and this time there is no need to reaim at all.

"Damn!" Marco leaped from the pirate ship, ready to stop the two shells from falling.

Marco was so strong that he kicked the shells before they could fall.

However, Marko, who was exposed to the explosion head-on, was not comfortable, and if it weren't for his ability to be an immortal bird fruit, I am afraid that he would have suffered some injuries under such an explosion.

Marko's body, which reappeared from the smoke of the explosion, was constantly burning with pale blue flames, which were being injured in the explosion by Shunan at high speed.

"Ship speed up!!, be careful to avoid shells!" shouted Marco, who was flying in the air.

The cannonballs were so powerful that if they landed on the ship, the ship would be devastated.

......

"The shells were blocked...... It's the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, the undead bird Marko. The observer reported.

"It's a real nuisance, I should have been able to sink one. Shunan said unhappily, and then replaced it with two specially made cannonballs.

The two dark green shells also have a skull logo painted on them.
