Chapter 18: Go Forward without Fear

"Damn! Careless! Crockdahl could only sigh like that, but it didn't help the situation. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info However, the only good news at this time is that although the new fleet brought them three axes as soon as they came up, the flow of the sea water was affected by the floating from the sea, and the current that dragged the Storm for a while temporarily lost the effect of slowing down.

And because of the suddenness of this fleet, the original naval warships obviously did not expect it, and the dense firepower network also appeared for a short time a loophole. There was a gap in front of them, and it would take a little time for the powerful firepower net behind them to cover them, and they still had a chance to break out of this semi-encirclement.

Forward, it is a naval fortress, like a lying tiger, waiting for its prey to throw itself into the net. If they don't move forward and wait a few more moments, they just can't run away if they want to.

There was little thought between the two options, and the opportunity was fleeting, so Krokdahl immediately seized the opportunity and ordered to rush in the direction of the G8 fortress.

With the hope of life, the pirates burst into all their potential in despair and confusion, and all the rearward guns of the battleship fired a salvo at the same time, and the force of the recoil caused the Tempest to rush forward. I don't know if it's because of the renewed hope, even without the help of the wind, the pirates still just rely on rowing, which makes the Rainstorm have a feeling of speed, and the result is that the Rainstorm surprised the navy's expectations, and also exceeded Crockdahl's expectations, and rushed out at a faster speed.

Under the huge initial acceleration, the Tempest also rarely ran out of the speed of the interceptor ship.

If you don't rush, you will inevitably be spared. Chong, although there is a high probability that it is just for them to have a little more time to breathe, but the remaining possibilities of escaping are inevitable choices in front of Crockdahl!

Even though the silhouette of the G8 fortress in front of them was getting bigger and bigger, the towering castle-like fortress also brought them more pressure, but the speed was getting faster and faster.

Although it didn't match Crockdahl's expectations, being able to rush out faster made him a little more sure. When the crisis came, Krokdal's whole body suddenly became hot, and cells continued to expand and beat in his body. From the bottom of his heart, he is not a person who can sink, he craves excitement, so he will go to sea to become a pirate.

And now, isn't it the challenge of excitement?

"Little ones! Go forward fearlessly! Whatever lies ahead, let's crush it to the bottom of the boat! Crockdahl's abrupt roar, although it startled the pirates, also made their blood boil, and they roared in unison, and the originally low morale rose high in a blink of an eye.

"Kill them!"

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

“……”

Standing at the door of the cabin, Kurokas looked at Crockdahl at the bow of the ship, and somehow his heart was touched. Could it be that his heart that is unwilling to be lonely has not been worn out in the passage of time for so long? Roger...... Is this what you expected from the era of pirates in exchange for your life......

"Crokdahl, that's interesting......" Kulokas shook his head and stepped into the cabin, as he had always done. The next battle has nothing to do with him, an old man who has no combat power! Muttering, reminiscing, the corners of Kulokas's mouth arced upward.

The speed of the Tempest's sprint reached its peak, and although it no longer accelerated, it did not slow down at all. In order to prevent hindering the speed of the boat, the sails have already been rolled up, but they have reached the speed at the height of the wind when the wind is at its peak. The Tempest broke through the sea and rushed towards the G8 fortress almost in a jump.

As the fortress grew larger and larger, the word "G-8" and the naval flag on the towering iron gates pierced Krokdahl's eyes. Almost subconsciously, Crockdahl gasped for air, his heart beat faster by half a beat, and at the same time he was more vigilant, waiting for what was about to happen.

Just as Crockdahl had expected, as he approached the G8 fortress, holes were revealed in the walls above the fortress, and a cannon that had already been ready to fire protruded from the hole, covering the area of a few hundred meters in front of the fortress. But, surprisingly, the actual burst of firepower was only half as it seemed.

"Boom ......"

A series of earth-shattering thuds rang out, and dark projectiles erupted from the muzzles of the cannons on the fortress walls, enveloping the Tempest in it. Although it still seems overwhelming, the pressure on Crockdahl is much less than it seems. Moreover, it seems to have been launched in a hurry, the artillery coverage was not fully unfolded, and the fire network was not fully coordinated, either here or there, giving the Rainstorm a chance to dodge.

Although Crockdahl has some doubts, since this kind of good thing has been encountered, how can there be any reason not to use it? He hurriedly roared, boosting his morale, and at the same time his ability was activated, and the rolling sand stream slammed into the sea behind the ship. The reaction force caused the Rainstorm to leap forward, crossing the sea surface for tens of meters, and in an instant, it was less than a hundred meters away from the fortress.

Apparently spurred on by Crockdahl's actions, the pirates exploded into even greater passion, rowing a point faster than they could possibly do, heading towards the island where the fortress was located. As long as they get there, the combat effectiveness of the cadres of Crockdahl and Baroque Walker can be fully deployed, and it is still unknown who will die at that time!

……

With a little fog filling, the dawn receded, and the great voyage ushered in another day. The rising sun always represents words like hope, but at this time, in the eyes of Luffy and others, this round of red sun is like the horn of death, blowing the final time. Before they knew it, they had been fighting until dawn.

They were able to hold on under the protection of the night, but when the sky was bright, the layer of protection they relied on had disappeared, and several people were exposed to the sight of the navy.

However, this is not the most tragic. Even more tragic was the fact that their ship, the Golden Merry, had cracked in the keel of the bottom of the ship due to the tremendous pressure that had fallen from the sky, and there were many cracks on both sides of the ship. When the sky gradually brightened, the sinuous and ugly scars were completely presented in front of Luffy and the others.

At this time, the worst face was Usopp.

"Get out of the way!" Usopp's courage suddenly came out of nowhere, so that he completely disregarded his body, and continued to use the slashing shell, while knocking all the naval soldiers in front of him into the air, he also rushed towards the Golden Merry, and at the same time kept yelling and screaming.

Seeing that there was still a distance of more than ten meters to reach the Golden Merry, Usopp suddenly splattered blood and flew out. As a puff of dust stirred up, where Usopp flew out, Tis appeared silently like a ghost, blood dripping from his hands that had turned into cat's claws.

"Catch him meow!" With a cat-meowing voice, Tice commanded. Before the words fell, he turned into a black shadow again and silently burrowed into the navy.

"Usopp-!" Luffy was the first of all to find out about Usopp's situation, and hurriedly screamed. However, before he could make a move, an innate instinct made his head jerk back, and the rubber physique stretched his neck by a meter. But even so, a cold sensation passed through his neck, followed by a warm sensation. He didn't have to look at it, he knew it was his blood.

"Abominable ......"

The frightened Luffy used the power of his neck retraction to throw his entire body into the air, and with the help of his arms stretched, he grabbed Usopp, who was unknown to him, and ejected towards the Golden Merry before the navy could react.

"Meow - it's a pity!" In the same place, Tis reappeared, on all fours, his teeth bared out, his tail standing upside down. The arched back and the word justice on the general's uniform are quite three-dimensional.

Slightly regretting Luffy's reaction speed, Tis turned into a black shadow and burrowed into the crowd of navy people. Shielded by the soldiers' figures, Tis quickly pounced on Sauron. Since he couldn't subdue Luffy with one blow, Zolon, who is second only to Luffy in terms of threat, is his next target.

"Zoro be careful!" Using his ability to escape the encirclement, Luffy, who fell on the ship, shouted and reminded Zoro before he could gain a foothold.

"Ding!" With a sound, Zoro, who was vigilant when he heard Luffy's reminder, reacted in time when the danger was approaching, and the long knife in his hand blocked the black shadow that rushed in front of him.

"Huh?" Tis let out a sigh of surprise at Sauron's ability to correctly judge his attack and quickly block his claws, as well as at the knife in Sauron's hand. You know, his claws are sharp enough to easily grasp through steel, and with his speed bonus, even ordinary famous knives will be caught in one or two pieces.

As everyone knows, at the same time, Sauron's heart is also pinched into a cold sweat. Although there is Luffy's reminder in front of him, the attack of the person in front of him is too fast, and it is also an element of luck that he can accurately block this time, and if he does it again, he is not sure that he will be able to block it again. Moreover, when the snow in his hand, which was mainly brisk, barely blocked the other party's claws, it also let out a mournful chirp, and if it came a few more times, it might be scrapped.

The blow missed, and Tis didn't fight, and he dodged and retreated into the crowd, instantly blending perfectly with the shadows.

Although Tis Lovech, known to the Navy as "Sheriff Black Cat" in front of people, was a handsome boy and a complete gentleman, in battle, he was a pure assassin. Like his fruit abilities, the black cat is known as the pet of the god of death, and he is incarnated as the god of death in the shadows, harvesting delicious souls one by one.

Now, his next target is Sanji. Although an assassin, he was not stubborn, on the contrary, he preferred the word surprise.
