Chapter 43: Full Fire (1)

In the gloomy tavern, there was silence.

On the counter, an old man was sleeping on his arm, and the snoring sound from time to time was particularly clear in the quiet environment.

"Squeak!" A man hidden in a cloak pushed open the rotten wooden door, but his steps were ghost-like and silent.

Sitting quietly on a chair in front of the counter, the cloaked man kindly did not disturb the sleeping old man, he had only come here to wait for the arrival of a man.

In the dimly lit hut, the cloaked man stared at the clock hanging on the wall in a daze. To his curiosity, the clock had long since ceased to swing and was covered with a thick layer of dust, but it had not been abandoned by the old man.

"Squeak!"

The knock on the door sounded again, followed by heavy footsteps. A huge man hunched through the door, holding a Bible-like book in his hand.

But even with such a loud voice, the old man still fell asleep, as if he was immersed in a sweet dream.

"Hello! Bartholomy Bear. Seeing this burly man, the cloaked man lifted his hood and said hello.

"You're good too! Monchi S. D. Dragon. "Staring at the cloaked man's face, the tyrant named Bear has met the most evil dragon in the world.

......

In front of the shipyard, Mihawk looked at Ray's distant back and fell into deep thought.

"Why don't you accept my challenge? I've been waiting for this day for two years. Is it because of the Demon Slaying Order? Dusting his hands off, Mihawk turned to find the Toms.

On the shore, Klockdahl watched with confusion as he watched, "What happened between these two men?" I had heard that Hawkeye had been seriously injured and disappeared for a while. Does it have something to do with this? ”

But under the threat of the Demon Slaying Order, Mihawk and Klockdahl did not think deeply, but hurried to prepare to leave this place of right and wrong.

......

Tom's Studios.

In this small two-story building, the living room was very crowded because of the people who came with the news. At this time, not only Tom and his apprentice, but Ke Keluo also brought his husband and son here. Outside, an earthy yellow frog lies quietly in front of the door.

"One, two, ,...,six, plus Yokozuna and Mihawk who are coming, are all together." Tom counted the numbers again, and finally made sure they were all there.

But now they can't breathe a sigh of relief, and they can only rest easy when they leave here completely and escape the sight of the Navy and the World Government.

With both hands tugging at the cloth strap that had been tightened a little by the weight of his bag, Tom finally let his neck lighten.

"Alright, let's go to the harbor where I tested my boat, and there's a small ship I've built to get out of here." Putting his hand on the door to push it open, Tom said to the crowd behind him.

"Mr. Tom, are we going like this? Is there really no need to tell the rest of the island the truth? After thinking about it for a long time, Iceberg still spoke when he was about to leave.

Hearing this, Tom's hand pushing the door stopped. There was silence in the room, and the expressions on everyone's faces were constantly changing, and their expressions were complicated.

Only the same young Fram naively expects Tom's answer with the same questions as the iceberg.

"It's too late." With an inexplicable look, Tom slowly looked back into the eyes of the iceberg and said the cruel truth. "How can we convince people that we're telling the whole city, and we don't have any evidence, so how can we convince people that what we're saying is true?"

"But are we going to leave without doing anything?" Having never spoken to Mr. Tom like this, Iceberg held back his neck and roared loudly.

"That's right, that's all we have to do." Looking at the child who grew up beside him, Tom answered without hesitation, but no one saw the grief that flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Hearing Tom's answer, Bingshan looked at the eyes that did not waver and lowered his head, and the aura of the whole person became low.

In fact, Tom loves the city more than anyone else. In order to save the capital of the seven waters, which is baptized by a huge tsunami called the gods of water every year, he devoted his life to developing a water train, hoping to make the island more prosperous.

However, in such a situation, they can only leave in embarrassment.

In this way, the group walked towards Hawkeye, and after converging, they went to the port. But after experiencing the questioning of the iceberg, except for Eagle Eye, everyone's hearts were hung with sadness and guilt.

It wasn't until they reached the deck that the cannon finally rang out!

......

With the yellow ape's order, the news was passed down layer by layer, in an orderly manner, like a huge machine began to operate.

On the deck, the soldiers on the ten battleships received orders from their respective posts and were gearing up to make preparations. Carrying, filling, loading, and the sound of footsteps suddenly became chaotic.

When everything is in place, the destruction begins.

"Fire!"

Ten battleships combined with a thousand heavy guns, firing at the same time at the moment of order. With a deafening roar, pitch-black shells erupted from the chambers, and the flames remained at the muzzle for a moment after the shells left. If it were night, the cannon would have been brighter than the stars.

Thousands of cannonballs pierced the sky, enveloping the entire island and smashing into the water city with great destructive power.

After the first wave of shells, the shelling ceased temporarily. The gunners on the battleship began to observe the landing point of the shells, preparing to adjust the angle and direction of the gun barrel and correct the parameters.

They don't know the truth, they just mechanically carry out orders, although they sympathize with the people on this island, but the military orders are like a mountain. As part of the Demon Slayer Order, they bring nothing but destruction.

The sound was faster than the cannonballs, so the people on the island heard the movement of the salvo a few seconds later.

The sound of thousands of heavy cannons overwhelmed all the sounds in the city, and the sound of talking, the crowing of chickens, the barking of dogs, and so on all seemed small under this wave of sound.

"What sound? The shock made Lao Tzu's ears numb. ”

"The baby doesn't cry, it's okay, it's okay, mom is here."

"O voice of the sea! It's kind of like the sound of cannons. ”......

Countless citizens were startled by this sudden loud noise, and cursed without knowing the truth. And those who vaguely heard what seemed to be the sound of cannon did not realize the seriousness of the problem, they just thought that there were pirates fighting each other outside, and at best sighed that the cannon was really sounding.

Only the workers who were still carrying goods in the port saw the truth: it was not the stars that fell from the sky, but the shells.

Looking at the approaching black dot, the people in the harbor fell into a stupor, and they couldn't figure out why the navy's guns were aimed at them. Some of them widened their eyes in disbelief under the whizzing cannonballs, others closed their eyes in despair, all they knew was that destruction was coming.

Time seems to stand still in this moment, and the expression on everyone's face reflects their truest heart.
