Chapter 2 Challenges
After two days on the Great Voyage, four storms and two hurricanes, Odin truly saw the variability of the climate of the Great Voyage and truly appreciated the power of nature. Human power is really too small in front of nature, Odin was almost blown away in a hurricane, and the feeling of life and death not in his own hands really makes Odin unforgettable for the rest of his life.
On the third day of entering the Great Voyage, Odin and they encountered an attack by a pirate ship, to be exact, it should be called harassment, and before Odin got off the mast to participate in the battle, the pirate ship fled decisively under the powerful guns of the battleship, although some shells were wasted, but because there was no white-knuckle battle, there were basically no casualties on the warship, which also made the soldiers on the warship more emotional, clamoring to let the pirates of the Great Voyage see the power of the elite navy from the South China Sea.
Although the morale of the soldiers was high, Odin knew that these were superficial phenomena, and on this warship, Odin was not the only one who found out that the situation was wrong, and the law was also frowning for the past two days, looking preoccupied. Odin found out about the situation of the law, but Odin had no choice, although the law was his teacher, but Odin's status was too low, after all, he was only a lieutenant in the naval headquarters now, and he didn't even have the right to command the battle alone, let alone anything else. Therefore, Odin can only silently step up his cultivation, so that he can save himself in the upcoming war and try to live.
The battle took place as expected. None of them thought that the pirates of the Great Voyage would be so crazy. In the early morning of the fourth day when Odin's battleship N5 in the South China Sea entered the great voyage, after all the naval soldiers got up and had breakfast, when everyone was performing their duties and working hard, Odin was the first to spot the large fleet approaching in the distance.
Odin saw the fleet in the distance, and when he saw the pirate flag flying high on the leading ship, Odin knew that it was time to come. Odin immediately sounded the battle alarm on the mainmast.
"Buzz, buzz, bell...
For a moment, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at each other. The current pirate fleet is still out of sight of the soldiers of the naval force on the warship, and it can be said that only Odin himself has seen the pirate ship attack now.
Although the soldiers were stunned, many officers of the middle rank and above who had come to the great voyage knew that the alarm bell sounded this time was not an ordinary alarm, but the highest level of combat alarm when encountering a strong enemy, so soon, many junior officers on the ship immediately ran to the positions they commanded. "Attention everyone, this is the highest level of combat alert, everyone immediately take up their weapons and enter the combat post." Hurry up, don't be stunned. ”
In the end, it is an elite division, after hearing the officer's words, immediately, all the soldiers reacted, and immediately entered their respective combat posts and prepared for battle.
After about ten minutes, there was still no sign of the pirates, and many people raised their heads curiously, showing each other inquiring eyes. But none of them asked out loud. Because, the officers at all levels were still looking around solemnly, so the soldiers were also nervously maintaining a fighting posture.
After another five minutes, Odin was only heard shouting at the top of the main mast of the warship: "Pirate fleet, five pirate ships, large pirate battle ships, one kilometer away!" ”
Hearing Odin's alarm, all the navy soldiers on board gasped. In general, pirate ships are mostly small or medium-sized ships. Like the later protagonists Luffy's Golden Merry and the Miles of Sunshine, they are small ships and medium-sized ships. And the big ship is like the main ship of the redhead. Generally speaking, there are about 300 combatants. And super-large ships like the Whitebeard's Moby Dick can only be seen in the New World.
And this time they are all large pirate battle ships, with a total of nearly 2,000 people, and all the naval soldiers on the warship are only more than 900 people, except for the 800 people who came to support the great voyage in the South China Sea, the others are the basic personnel of this warship, and the combat effectiveness is not strong.
In other words, the navy will use 800 men to fight against 2,000 pirates. The disparity in the ratio of personnel made the battle not as easy as the previous Navy soldiers thought. It seems that the pirates are really here this time.
When the alarm sounded for the first time, Zefa had already arrived on the top deck of the warship, looking at the pirate ship that did not exist in the field of vision ahead. His eyes were solemn, and the worries of the law were heavier than they were coming. The last time the pirates harassed them was just to scout the situation, and the current five pirate ships are the main thing. A group of nearly 2,000 pirates. It seems that the pirates in the first half of the Great Voyage were really organized, otherwise, in the first half of the Great Voyage, there would not have been such a large group of pirates.
After all, the first half of the great route of the One Piece world is the main development area of the world government, and the navy still has a lot of military strength in this region, and maintaining stability in this region is also the main job of the navy. However, this time, the Navy's high-pressure policy finally ushered in a strong backlash from the pirates, that is, in the past few years, the Navy has spent a lot of energy to manage the territory of the New World, so it has relaxed the management of the first half of the Great Route, which is the "Paradise". It was only then that the pirates could organize such a big encirclement plan.
Zefa thought of what Sengoku had told him a long time ago, and this time the pirates were organized because of a leader named the William Pirates. This William is a pirate with a bounty of 80 million, the highest bounty of pirates active in the first half of the Great Voyage. However, for some reason, William just refused to go to the New World, and only claimed to be the king in "Paradise". And the reason why William organized this "Paradise" pirate rebellion this time is said to be related to some pirates in the New World, and there may be pirates in the New World to support William, so William dares to oppose the navy so blatantly, otherwise, with William's courage to not even dare to go to the new world, he would not have the courage to challenge the navy. Therefore, the Warring States told Zefa to be careful, after all, this time he may encounter sea pirates in the new world, which is not comparable to these newcomers in "Paradise".
When Zefa saw that the pirate flag on the first pirate ship was indeed the William Pirates, Zefa's eyes were like torches, staring at the pirate flag that basically every pirate or navy knew in "Paradise". The law knows that the challenge is really coming!
