Chapter Seventy-Eight: Who?!
By the time Smoker's fleet reached the shores of Shakui, two full weeks had passed. This is one of the characteristics of the maritime age, where a lot of time is wasted on the way every time you go out.
Not to mention the means of transportation here, compared to the previous life, there is no comparison at all, coupled with the treacherous and changeable weather of the great route and the sea kings who come out to block the way from time to time, making the voyage even more dangerous.
Therefore, ordinary people in this world, unless they are very unlucky and born directly in this place, will rarely take the initiative to enter the life of the Great Voyage.
Most of them are businessmen who value their lives and pirates who seek ambition to take the risk of pouring into this dangerous sea, but luckily the destination has finally arrived.
As the three warships brutally broke into the sight of Shakui Island, Smoker could easily see that many pirates were hurrying towards their pirate ships in the harbor, and it was clear that most of the pirates had no intention of fighting them.
"The pirates are running away, what's next, Major General Rechel?"
"Hehe, we can't catch all the pirates, we only need to target a few important pirates, such as the Upton Pirates that the experimental specimen joined."
Smoker released smoke from his palm as he asked, "Is there anything special about this pirate group?" ”
At this time, the three warships very tacitly divided into three routes, each chose a direction, and continued to sail to Shakui Island in a chopping wind and waves.
"Is it a special place... Also, the leader of this pirate group, Upton, is a giant, and at the same time, there is not a single capable person in his crew, and he seems to hate capable people. After saying that, Rachel looked at Smoker curiously, and molded wisps of smoke into white seagulls.
"What are you doing here?"
Smoker smiled slightly: "Didn't you say that there are many harbors on this island, so I think there should be a lot of harbors, and the seagulls formed by these smoke will allow me to monitor the situation on the entire outskirts of Shakui Island." ”
"Oh! Very good ability, then you find out where that experiment is, don't let him run, or you will be ridiculed by the bunch of guys from the World Government again. ”
"Okay, then I'll hunt down that guy." Smoker gladly accepted the task, and then cast a full-body elementalization, connecting his "sight" with the smoke seagulls flying out.
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
At this time, the three warships had already begun to bombard with all their might, and within a while, two or three pirate ships that were about to flee in a hurry were blown up and burst into flames, and even one of them was even broken by the pole.
The accuracy of the real-world artillery will not need to serve the needs of the plot as in the comics, and the gunners of the warships of the Navy headquarters are all professionally trained professional gunners.
Therefore, if there is no tricky person on the target ship who can withstand the shells, then there is often no need for white-knuckle combat in naval battles, and the battle can be ended by shelling alone.
Moreover, the guns on the warships of the Navy headquarters are different from the guns circulating outside, the navy has more advanced breech guns, and most of the guns that pirates can buy are breech guns.
Not only is the accuracy higher, the firing range is longer, the frequency of shelling is much faster, and at the same time, the number of artillery pieces is incomparable!
"Give the order to go down and shell the harbor with fifteen guns on the flanks for twenty minutes."
At this time, Rear Admiral Rachel ordered the navy behind him, and then looked at a giant clan standing in the harbor with a giant knife, constantly slashing and bombarding with cannonballs.
"Is that what you call Upton, it's huge, this race is terrifying!" Smoker looked at the giant clan in the distance that was more than fifteen or sixteen meters tall and exclaimed.
"Lada~"
Little Lada stood on his shoulders and nodded his head in agreement, for the Giants could no longer be described as "tall".
"Hehe, the giant clan is indeed blessed, but if you grow tall in this world, you don't necessarily have strong strength, and sometimes growing too tall may also be a disadvantage." Rachel clearly didn't take Upton seriously.
"Indeed... Well... Major General: I may have found that experiment! Smoker said suddenly, under the elementalization of his whole body, he could "see" everything around the smoke white doves, including the below.
At this moment he saw a shirtless fellow with a dense pink coral head on his head, standing on a cliff, carrying several large chests full of treasure into the small sailboat below, but one of the boxes was closed so that he could not see what it was.
This guy looks the same as the one on the information sheet.
But the way he transported the boxes was interesting, as an iron lock appeared from the palm of his hand and connected to the ship's pole, and then several pulleys hung on it, and the pulleys hooked the boxes.
There were two bandana-clad pirates on the deck of the sailboat below, helping to pick up the boxes, and after a few rounds, all the boxes on the cliff were transferred to the ship.
The experimental subject, who was suspected to be an ability, saw that all the boxes had been smoothly loaded onto the ship, and a smug smile appeared on his face, he didn't expect this operation to be so logical.
Not only did he succeed in attracting the attention of the navy to that stupid big man, but he also gained so many treasures, I have to say that he was really lucky.
He retracted the chain into his palm, and then jumped off the cliff at a brisk pace.
After reaching a certain height, a chain "bursts" from the palm of the other hand, which precisely wraps around the crossbar of the sailboat, dangles in mid-air, and when most of the force is removed, the chain is retracted, and it successfully falls to the deck with a light leap.
The whole set of movements was smooth, as if the chain was a part of his body, but it was strange that there was a terrifying wound in the palms of his hands, and the scarlet blood was very eye-catching.
But if you look closely, the ruptured wound is healing quickly, and after a while, there is no more blood coming out. If it weren't for the blood stains on his palm, it would be hard to believe that he had been injured before.
"Targuera, quick...."
"Bump!"
A pirate saw that the man in chains had finally fallen to the ground, and was a little anxious and ready to urge him to hurry up, but who would have thought that before he could finish speaking, a chain slammed into his chest, and with great force, he was thrown out of the sailboat and fell into the sea with a thud.
"Call me Captain from now on! Captain Targuera... Do you understand? The man in chains looked at the other pirate with a cruel expression, and when he saw that this guy was so frightened by him that he only dared to nod his head in agreement, he pouted boringly and ordered: "Understood, hurry up and take the helm, let's get out of here!" ”
"Ahh Yes, Captain Targuera! Seeing that Targra didn't do anything more against him, the pirate finally exhaled, and then replied loudly as he walked into the cabin, especially the captain's words.
"Tut-tut, this is not good, if you leave, my mission this time will fail, let's stay~"
At this moment, a voice full of ridicule suddenly fell from the sky, and at the same time, a wisp of white smoke quickly gathered in midair, and in an instant, a white-haired young man wearing a cloak of justice suddenly appeared in the air.
"What man!?"
