Chapter 13: Dawn

In the shooting range of the base, Snow was explaining the use of the musket to Luo Yi, "Look, this is the powder compartment, the front is the ammunition compartment, after loading, the projectile of the ammunition will fall into the launch compartment, and the flame will also fall into the explosion compartment, only need to dial the hammer for the first time, and then it can be fired ten times in a row." ”

Luo Yi listened to Snow's explanation with some confusion, the technology of the One Piece world cannot be judged by common sense, and Coke can be used as a driving force, let alone a musket.

Moreover, this kind of naval long-barreled musket is very thick, the barrel is very thick, and it can be fired ten times in a row, which has a lot to do with the battle, and it is basically not conducive to shooting at sea, and after the row of guns, it is a broadside battle, so the musket team does not need to fight for a long time.

At the same time, the temperature generated by this powder gun, as well as the residue of gunpowder, are not conducive to long-term firing, so it is basically unusable after ten shots. You need to clean up the reload again, which is a complicated process, so melee combat is the focus.

"Sir, in that case, you should equip me with a melee weapon as well?" Luo Yi asked without giving up.

"Hmph, there are a lot of weapons in the fortress, today you practice shooting and maintenance, reloading, there are a large number of assembled muskets in the arsenal, and tomorrow you can shoot hard." Snow pouted, then left.

Luo Yi picked up the musket, and then raised it, "Okay, I'll start tomorrow's battle and slowly become a strong man, even if it's just a game, but the way of life is up to me." ”

"Bang" The first shot was fired, and the recoil was not very large, which made Luo Yi feel a lot more relieved, his body that he had exercised for three months was finally not in vain, at least it was not a problem to shoot, but it seemed that there was no bullet hole on the target, and it was crooked?

The base was busy, and a beautiful blonde lady in the cafeteria, dressed in a white chef's suit, was saying loudly: "Tomorrow is a fierce battle, our soldiers are trying to prepare for the battle, and what we have to do is to keep them fed, eat well, and cheer me up." ”

"Yes, Sister Jessica." The chefs were fighting as if they were fighting, and the swift swing of kitchen knives, the sound of vegetables and meat falling into the hot oil, and the loud shouts of the chefs were intertwined.

The maintenance department is inspecting the warship, "Uncle Megawa, will we win this battle?" A short old man turned his head to look at the question.

"Of course, Commander Jonathan is an excellent commander, and now what we have to do is to ensure that there will be absolutely no problems with the six warships that will sail tomorrow, so go to work, you young guts are really not good!" The old man was the squad leader of the maintenance department, and the young man was happy to go to work when he saw him so calm, and the old man whispered at this time: "It's good that Kobalt went to learn medical skills, otherwise I really need to worry about it!" ”

The base hospital is also busy, the doctors are directing the nurses to prepare the medicines, tomorrow's casualties will not be less, they have to try to ensure the safety of all the wounded soldiers, all the batteries are cleaning the chambers, carrying ammunition, and calibrating the scopes. Yes, the front-loading artillery in One Piece has a scope, Luo Yi doesn't say anything about it, he is still practicing shooting.

At about three o'clock in the morning, the call for meals sounded at the base, and the units began to eat in turn, and then they would have two hours of sleep, and when they got up again, it was a test of life and death.

Luo Yi is a little tired now, he has been practicing shooting for several hours in a row, and his shoulder hurts, but he can't take care of it anymore, maybe he will go back to see Satan tomorrow.

When they ran to the cafeteria, the mood of the miscellaneous soldiers was very low, they were not regular navy, they were just eating together, but when Luo Yi came in, they suddenly laughed, laughing inexplicably.

Luo Yi went to eat suspiciously, and Sister Jessica looked at him and said, "Boy, did you just come out of the coal pile?" Luo Yi was surprised and didn't know why, Jessica took out a small mirror and put it in front of him, and Luo Yi saw that his face was dark.

"Damn gunpowder, but it doesn't matter." Luo Yi scolded, and then he didn't care, he was about to start fighting, he didn't know if he was alive or dead, who cared about this?

After eating a few plates of curry rice, Luo Yi burped, and then returned to his room, where he had lived for three months, and had been cleaning up very cleanly, but now he fell asleep directly, in order to accumulate strength for tomorrow.

Jessica pushed a food cart to Commander Jonathan's office, pushed the door and entered, and saw her husband staring at the table in front of him, on which there was a pile of chess pieces, white in a circle, and black on the periphery, Jonathan kept fiddling.

"Honey, it's time to eat." Jessica placed a plate of food in front of her, which contained cauliflower, carrots, and steak, and Jonathan's calm expression immediately turned miserable, and he fiddled with his knife and fork. "Eat quickly." Jessica's tone, which was originally gentle, changed.

Jonathan looked bitter and struggled to eat his dinner, then asked, "How are the soldiers feeling?" ”

"Well, they are all veterans, they are not afraid of fighting, the logistics department is very nervous, and the mood of the miscellaneous soldiers is a little low." Jessica said.

"It's understandable, they're not soldiers after all, and their salaries are so small." Jonathan didn't mean to blame.

Jessica seemed to remember something, "There's a miscellaneous soldier who is quite interesting, the usually taciturn little guy looks full of energy, and he ran to eat with a gunpowder smoke on his face just now, and he ate a lot." ”

"Haha, is it Luo Yi? He's a brave man! Jonathan was happy.

After the meal, Jonathan once again turned his attention to the chess pieces, which he had always been known for his intelligence, and it was customary to use them to deduce the situation of the battle before and during the battle. Jessica pushed the food cart and quietly left, knowing that tomorrow was important and that she couldn't disturb her husband now.

Luo Yi slept very well, but he also had a dream, in which he brandished a counter-bladed knife and rushed to kill among the pirates, and the Navy Six was used from time to time, his expression was calm, and finally he rushed to Whitebeard, slashed with a knife, and before he dreamed of the final result, a cannonball suddenly flew over and exploded beside him.

After a while, Luo Yi sat up, the sunlight had already shone into his room, "I overslept." Luo Yi had time to think about it, the sound of shelling outside had already sounded, and he hurriedly rushed to the weapons depot.
