Chapter 519: Sad Pirates

Roronoa Sauron yawned, in the lazy sun, he didn't even want to exercise, but to get a good night's sleep.

As a colonel of the Revolutionary Army who followed the fleet to the East China Sea, he had not been mentally stressed for a long time.

Distinguished by his performance in the First Naval War, he managed to hold back a major admiral with Daz Bonis.

Because of this merit and combat effectiveness, he was promoted to colonel, and only needed to pass the exam to become a rear admiral in command of a battleship.

It's just that in terms of Zoro's cultural curriculum, he is afraid that he will not be able to pass this exam in his life.

But that's good.

Lying lazily basking in the sun on the deck, Sauron thought that he would be able to continue challenging Hawkeye when he returned, and a happy smile appeared on his face, and even this boring task began to become sunny.

The East China Sea is his hometown, but Sauron has no such concept at all, and of course, after returning from the Great Voyage, he still misses the weather in the East China Sea a little.

After all, for Zoro and the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army Headquarters who lived in that sinister environment, the weather in the East China Sea is simply a docile and good baby, and living in the weather of a good baby, of course, does not need to worry about so much uncertainty.

And their ship is also an experiment - it can directly take a shortcut from the windless belt to the East China Sea.

This is an experiment on this ship, and it is an experiment on the people on this ship.

They took the same route that Rip would take on weekdays.

But their ship was one size smaller than the Titan-class and the Peace-class, and compared to the other two-tonnage cruiser destroyers.

In terms of its tonnage, it can only be called an offshore defense ship with a displacement of only 2,000 tons.

But now it has passed directly through the windless belt, Sauron as an insurance, it was not useful along the way, although this battleship only has one main gun and two secondary guns, but it is enough to directly beat all the sea kings in the windless belt into strings.

If it's Hawkeye, I'm afraid I'm already thinking that the weapons are strong like this, what is the use of swordsmanship.

But Zoro, a thick, nervous fellow, didn't have this kind of thought, just discounted along the way, listening to all kinds of reports and orders on the deck.

He could not understand the reports of the lieutenants or their orders, he only knew that after the broadside battle, he would be able to hack to death every enemy who boarded the ship.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this simplicity of his that he can make his kendo talent so terrifying, a thousand miles a day.

But now the revolutionary army believes more in Leo's statement: certain industries, certain jobs, kendo, and even the strongest combat effectiveness are honed through tempering and actual combat.

The craftsmen in the work are better than the students, because they have been in the industry for more than ten years and decades, and the people who have more actual combat are better than the fledgling people, even if the fledgling person is a swordsmanship genius.

Within the revolutionary army, an atmosphere of "training troops in actual combat" and "governing the people in actual combat" has also emerged.

Even Leo, in fact, if you look at his policies, every day is quite effective, and it can even be said that these correct policies have allowed him to accumulate his self-confidence and correct policies over and over again, so that everyone begins to blindly worship him.

Sauron was a strong proponent of this theory, as his swordsmanship had improved through actual combat time and time again.

Of course, there is a good foundation for Koshiro, but his own mood and actual combat experience are not the reasons for his rapid progress.

He dared to guarantee that none of the swordsmen of the same age could match him in actual combat experience!

It's just that his powerful swordsmanship has no place in the face of new technology.

The cannon in the middle, which can rotate 190 degrees in the plane, can hit the enemy from any angle, but along the way, except for the sea kings, there are few pirates who are qualified to let him start, and most of the pirates have basically died dozens of kilometers away when they face the two 90mm electromagnetic cannons in front and behind.

The revolutionary army fought pirates, which was called a ruthless one.

Even the navy will give the pirates a chance to survive and accept the surrender of the pirates, although there are certain special conditions, but after all, they can survive.

But when the revolutionary army saw the pirate flag, they basically didn't ask for the reason, and directly shot it over.

The electromagnetic cannon reloads quickly, has little recoil, and the correction cannon fires at a faster rate than a normal gun, although the first few cannons may not hit anyone, and even make the pirates laugh.

It's just that soon they will be accurate and ruthless, which is the accuracy of the ship's surveyors and snipers after they work together accurately.

For the Navy, the accuracy of ordinary gunpowder artillery is completely different.

Almost all of the pirates encountered along the way ended in total annihilation.

Although they don't say it verbally, they are actually very excited and excited in their hearts.

Because they know that they are witnessing the slow end of an era.

Seventeen years ago, One Piece Roger kicked off the era of pirates with his life in Rogue Town.

But seventeen years later, a young man, with the wisdom and strength of a group of people, made such a ship, which weighed only 2,000 tons, and was able to cross the windless zone to face the sea kings unscathed.

In the face of the pirates, almost no pirates could withstand its shelling, and the long-distance attack made even the pirates who ate the Devil Fruit helpless.

As long as the ship returns to the headquarters of the revolutionary army, Gaya Island, and passes the acceptance of the French master, it can be quickly manufactured in batches and batches, and then become a sharp weapon in the hands of the revolutionary army.

When a large number of such ships cruise in the critical and dense shipping lanes of the four seas, the pirates will gradually wither and die.

They have only one way to die.

When the time comes for pirates on the sea to die, people can only fight with the king who oppresses them, and at that time those who want to be pirates will become the strength and support of the revolutionary army.

They will turn from pirates to the source of the revolutionary army, and the local resistance revolutionary army will continue to grow, and then the two-pronged approach will bring the era of pirates to an end!

"What's so noisy?" When they docked in the port of the Kingdom of Goa, which was said to have been overthrown by the revolutionary army, the loud noise made Zoro frown.
