Chapter 181: The Whitebeard Pirates' Revenge
After the Nine Snake Pirates' ships left, Ian and the others set sail again.
Due to the sudden landing of the navy on Clockwork Island, the supply plan of the Dragon Hunter Pirates could not be implemented, and now there is not much water and food on the ship, and Ian and they must find another place to resupply.
And now, they can only go to the nearest island.
Fortunately, Margaret was a competent navigator, and she was not idle when Ian and they were on Clockwork Island, and while talking to a fisherman uncle on Clockwork Island, Margaret unexpectedly bought a chart of the vicinity of Clockwork Island from the fisherman's uncle.
To the southeast of Clockwork Island, there is a small and inconspicuous island, which is about three days away, and this small island cannot be reached by recording the pointer, and it is one of the islands without magnetic force, but because of the nautical charts, it is natural to be able to go there.
So Ian's ships are now heading towards the island.
And during the voyage, Ian has also been paying attention to the news of Clockwork Island.
He knew that the Whitebeard Pirates would definitely not give up on the Whitebeard Pirates when they forcibly broke into Clockwork Island to arrest people, and they would definitely take retaliatory measures.
It's just that what Ian didn't expect was that the revenge of the Whitebeard Pirates would come so quickly.
On the morning of the third day after leaving Tejo Island, Ian bought a newspaper from Newsbird, with the headline that the Whitebeard Pirates had attacked a naval fort under construction.
The news is about what happened yesterday, that is, just the day after the incident on Clockwork Island, the Whitebeard Pirates went into action.
The people who led the team were the captains of the two teams, Foil Bista and the fish-man Namuel, the two teams, the number of people dispatched was about 3,000 people, and they directly destroyed a fortress that the Navy was preparing to build in the New World, and after killing the soldiers stationed in the Navy, they then razed the island where the fortress was located to the ground with cannons!
At that time, there were still a lot of other pirates on Clockwork Island, and after Clockwork Island was invaded by the navy, these escaped pirates also spread the news, which made some people who hated the Whitebeard Pirates secretly laugh at the Whitebeard Pirates after learning about it.
However, the Whitebeard Pirates' subsequent vigorous retaliation frightened these people, and the people who talked about it shut up immediately.
Everyone knows that in recent years, the navy has always wanted to enter the new world and bring the new world under its control, but due to the problem of insufficient troops, progress has been slow, so the navy has adopted another way, that is, to gradually build fortresses on some suitable islands in the new world!
This is clearly the idea of slowly encroaching on the fortress step by step, and the navy is connecting these control areas step by step with the help of the control range of the fortress.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, but after all, it is a naval fortress, with a strong fortress and powerful firepower, it is said that a fortress can reach thousands of cannons alone, and it is not a powerful pirate group, so they dare not touch the idea of these fortresses at all.
There are many contradictions between the Four Emperors and the Navy, and it is said that it is impossible to let the Navy develop like this, but because the Four Emperors are not of the same mind, and they are also guarding against each other, if they attack the fortress, it is likely to lead to heavy losses, so they can only watch the Navy repair the fortress with one eye closed.
Of course, the fortress built by the navy is also very careful to avoid the territory of the Four Emperors, and both sides have a very delicate bottom line, and no one dares to touch it.
However, what happened on Clockwork Island angered the Whitebeard Pirates, so the Whitebeard Pirates took action.
The destruction of this fortress under construction completely caught the navy off guard, which was not only a kind of revenge, but also a warning, and the warning was the navy's behavior of repairing the fortress.
The navy was beaten very hard this time, although the fortress had not yet been opened in the preparation, but the guards who built the fortress were five warships plus more than 4,000 naval soldiers, but they were attacked by the Whitebeard Pirates, and all five warships were destroyed, and more than 4,000 soldiers suffered heavy casualties, almost all of which were wiped out.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates suffered many casualties in the battle, they were completely victorious, and after plowing the island with artillery fire, the navy could no longer build a fortress on the island.
The Whitebeard Pirates attacked this time, which was the largest casualty battle in the Navy in recent years, which not only hurt the Navy, but also shocked many pirates.
Such a ferocious and swift retaliation made some ambitious guys realize that Whitebeard is still the same Whitebeard, this monster-like guy known as "the strongest man in the world", although he is old, his minions are still so sharp.
On this day, as Newsbird brings this story around the world, the whole world trembles at the furious Whitebeard.
There is no way on the navy's side, they know that Whitebeard is already very restrained.
Compared to the entire Whitebeard Pirates who came to the Navy Headquarters, the way to arm and ask for an explanation was just to destroy a fortress, and such a retaliation was already light.
The Navy Headquarters Marin Fando, Sengoku sat in the office, looking at the report in his hand, and began to have a headache again.
Recently, his headaches in the Warring States have not been interrupted, first the fire of Mary Joy, the black-clothed man who murdered a Celestial Dragon, and then injured the pheasant and fled.
The injury of the pheasant is estimated to take a few months to recover, during which the navy will not be able to use a general-level combat power, and the Tianlong people not only do not appreciate it, but also chase the world government every day to exert pressure, asking the navy to arrest the murderer as soon as possible.
Then, during the World Conference, the bill to ban the heavenly gold was reintroduced, which led to quarrels between several member countries and the world government.
As soon as the World Conference ended, these kings and leaders, although they did not threaten to withdraw from the member countries, but as soon as they returned to their own countries, they immediately expelled the navy stationed in their country!
So the Navy once again lay down its guns.
This is not the end, originally after receiving the report of the flying squirrel and the fighting dog, the navy gritted its teeth and approved the operation of the two, and attacked Clockwork Island, hoping that they could catch the mastermind of the Mary Joy incident, but in the end, it turned out that the man in black on the island turned out to be an impostor.
For the sake of an impostor, he angered Whitebeard, which led to the destruction of a fortress in the navy, and all the manpower and material resources invested were wasted.
That's all, but on the contrary, there is another dragon hunter pirate group on the clockwork island, and their captain is a very powerful guy, and he actually broke one of the hands of the vice admiral of the fighting dog in the battle with the navy!
This endless variety of incidents is the source of the troubles of the Warring States, which gives the Warring States the feeling that the Navy has suddenly had a lot of opponents overnight, and none of them are there.
"What is the origin of this dragon hunter pirate group?" Sengoku frowned and asked the flying squirrel who came back to report.
"I don't know!" The flying squirrel shook his head and said, "Now the navy doesn't know anything about them, only that their captain is a devil fruit ability who can use thunder and lightning, but it is not natural, but superhuman." ”
"Do you have a picture?" Sengoku asked.
"Here!" The flying squirrel pulled out a picture and handed it over.
After seeing the photo, Sengoku was stunned, he felt that the person in the photo was so familiar.
The flying squirrel hadn't seen Ian before, so he couldn't recognize it, but Sengoku had seen Ian, and when a group of people from Chambord Island gathered to prepare to fight the Heavenly Golden Idea, he removed Ian's list.
"Why is this person again?" Sengoku looked at Ian's bear-eared hat in the photo and remembered the scene when Bartho Romew's bear returned.
If I'm not mistaken, the bear came back from being injured while fighting this man.
According to Xiong's statement at the time, this person was also injured by him, and now he suddenly appeared in the New World and formed a pirate group?
After recognizing Ian, Sengoku was not very surprised that the fighting dog was injured, among the vice admirals, although the rank is the same, but the strength is strong and weak, it cannot be generalized, since this person can injure the Bartholomew bear of the Seven Martial Seas, then it is not surprising that the fighting dog was injured.
What he was thinking about now was whether to issue a wanted warrant for this man......
The black old demon said
There are too many things in the past two days of the New Year, so the state is not too good, the plot of the empress is indeed a little urgent, and I haven't handled it well, I apologize to everyone, and then I will write it mainly with the advancement of the plot.
