Chapter 41: The Naval Pursuit
"Dover, it's a shame that you can't take over the Black Shark family's territory."
"Diamanti, a bloated body can't burst out with powerful combat power."
Doflamingo spoke to Diamanti on the phone, conducting remote control of the development of the Don Quixote family.
After getting the memories of the traverser and knowing more information, Doflamingo chose to be steady in terms of developing his power.
He didn't want to be like in the original book, where the huge power collapsed immediately after he was arrested.
He wants to build a stable and powerful force, and even if he is unfortunately arrested, his force will be able to fight and rescue him.
Doflamingo said: "With our strength, we can lay a large piece of ground at any time. But whether or not we can turn those territories into our own power is the most important thing.
If we can't turn those turfies into our own strength, the huge turf will only become a drag on us and weaken our power. ”
Diamanti was silent for a moment and said, "You're right! I've already gotten the Fishman Karate and Navy Six Styles cultivation methods, and I'll start training with them when I get back. ”
After a few words with him, Doflamingo hung up the phone and took the phone bug into his arms.
In front of him, on the huge deck of the pirate ship, Guladius was training with a group of pirates.
Doflamingo kills the old shark Citara and destroys the Black Shark family. When Glardius learned of these things, he was completely convinced by Doflamingo and willingly followed him.
This kind of thing of admiring the strength of the other party and joining the other party's command is not uncommon on the sea, and countless pirate groups were born in this way.
Doflamingo stood up, walked around the deck, gave them some pointers, and began his own training.
strength, still not enough.
And his means of enhancing his strength are nothing more than three kinds: physical arts, domineering spirit, and devil fruits.
Powerful weaponry is also one of the ways to enhance strength. However, this method has no future. None of the top powerhouses relied on weapons and equipment.
Cultivating physical arts, enhancing domineering, and developing Devil Fruits are the serious ways to become stronger.
The navigator on the pirate ship appeared and shouted to Doflamingo: "Captain! The naval fleet was spotted in the rear, and they were pursuing us. ”
"Navy?"
Doflamingo stopped his cultivation and glanced up at the navigator.
The navigator nodded, "That's right! At least three naval warships are coming after us. ”
Doflamingo grabbed the plush coat next to him and draped it over his body, and said to the navigator, "Take me to see it." ”
The navigator nodded and led Doflamingo to the stern. In the distance, three warships flying the naval flag were speeding towards this direction.
Judging by the speed of the other party, it will only take an hour at most for them to catch up with them. In a maximum of thirty minutes, your own pirate ship will be within the range of the opponent's shelling.
"The ships of the navy are really advanced!"
Doflamingo licked his lips and chuckled, "Pass the order: put the sails and stop moving!" ”
The navigator was stunned, a little incredulous. Doflamingo glanced at him, and the navigator was excited, and hurriedly replied loudly: "Yes!" ”
The pirate ship stopped, and the navy pursuing in the rear also noticed this. On the naval ship, a naval soldier ran up to their commander and reported loudly, "Report to Colonel Pune, the unknown pirate group ahead has stopped advancing. ”
Colonel Puen frowned and wondered, "Did they find out that they couldn't run, so they gave up struggling?" ”
A naval officer next to him said, "It's possible!" After all, in terms of naval warfare, pirates are far inferior to the navy. In terms of organization and equipment, we have an overwhelming advantage. ”
Colonel Pune groaned for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right!" If they continue to escape, they will be within range of our shelling in half an hour at most. When the time comes, we will chase them and fight them, and sooner or later we will be able to sink them.
So...... Either they are tied up and waiting for us to come and catch them; Either that, or they have bad intentions and wait for us to get closer for a broadside battle.
Pass my orders that as soon as the enemy comes within range of our shelling, open fire and sink them. When their pirate ship is wrecked, we'll go over and salvage them! ”
"Yes!"
The sailors saluted and ran to announce the order.
On the pirate ship, Doflamingo, who was standing at the stern of the ship, saw several black dots flying in the sky in the distance, accompanied by a whistling sound.
"Cannonballs?"
Doflamingo raised an eyebrow and snapped his fingers, slicing through the air with a few thin lines.
On board the Navy ship, Colonel Puen holds a telescope and watches the situation of the pirate ship.
Seeing those shells explode in the air, Colonel Pune smiled, "It seems that I guessed correctly, this group of pirates is indeed in the intention of engaging us in a broadside battle. They stopped not to tie their hands down, but to wait for us to get closer. ”
The naval officer next to him patted his ass and said, "The colonel is wise, he has seen through their tricks!" As long as we don't melee with them, they'll be dead. ”
Colonel Puen snorted coldly, "Of course! Although there are masters on the pirate ship, their attack range is not as far as ours.
They can't beat us, they can only be beaten passively. If this continues, sooner or later they will be defeated by us. ”
On the pirate ship, Doflamingo sighed in disappointment when he found that the naval ship had stopped moving forward and was only using artillery fire for long-range attacks.
He did have the idea of waiting for the other party to get closer, and then he would burst into trouble. However, the other party did not fall for the trick, which made his plan fall through.
"Failed plan? It doesn't matter, I still have a second plan. Moon Step! ”
Doflamingo sneered, and his body jerked into the air. He stepped on the air, rising step by step, and performed the moon step in the navy's six styles.
Navy Six Styles, to put it bluntly, are some techniques that use physical strength. As long as your body strength is up to par and you have a good grasp of the techniques, these moves are actually very easy to learn.
Just like Sanji in the original book, he refines his kicking skills, and the strength of his legs is extremely amazing. Then, by coincidence, he mastered the power technique of walking in the air, and he mastered the moon step at once.
Doflamingo soared into the air with the help of the moon step, and the thin thread in his hand flew out, connecting to the clouds in the sky, and flying like Spider-Man.
The speed of the drift was much faster than that of the moon step, and he approached the three naval ships at an extremely exaggerated speed.
"What is this?"
On board the navy, Colonel Puen was taken aback.
Just now in the telescope, he saw a figure with scarlet eyes.
One of the Navy soldiers shouted, "Colonel Poon, someone is approaching us from the sky." ”
Pune yelled, "Fire the cannon and take him down!" No, prepare for melee combat immediately! ”
Doflamingo's speed was too fast for the artillery fire to be aimed at. The only way to deal with him is to use melee combat.
