Active or passive, that's the question, but for Polusalino -

"Don't worry, let's see the situation first......"

That's right, just as Ben Beckman's musket was to activate the ability to activate the "Everybody Fruit Phantom Beast Species French Form", choosing to raise his hands to show weakness rather than counterattack, the word "cautious" will always be the highest in Polusalino's code.

Not to mention the two main targets that the Navy will face this time, Monchi D. Dragon, who has the ability of the natural "Wind Fruit", and Douglas Barrett, who has the ability of the Superhuman "Combined Fruit", they are both the type with strong AOE skills and their destructive power will be greatly amplified in a big war......

"Then I'm going to squint for a while?"

Kuzan yawned sleepily, "Call me when you need me, Porusalino senpai......"

"Then I actually need you now~"

Polusalino narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"Huh?"

"It's said that you will observe for a while, but you can't really just watch, right? So, the old rules, take control of the field, Kuzan~"

“…… I can't help it."

Kuzan, whose tone was full of frustration, shrugged his shoulders, but his body jumped towards the sea outside the ship without any hesitation.

“ice age——！

！ ”

……

Due to the vast territory, abundant resources, and strong military strength of the whole country, the Kingdom of Clifford is actually the same as the feudal dynasty of Bactria before Polusalino crossed, the princes have their own fiefs, and they usually stay in the fiefs - in fact, if it weren't for the fact that the old king was seriously ill and the princes all coveted the throne, they would not have gathered in the royal capital some time ago, where there was no freedom of their own fiefdoms.

And Port Hyde, as the largest port in the Clifford Kingdom, is naturally the most popular youngest son of the old king, that is, the fief of the fifth prince.

"What the hell are the Navy and the World Government thinking?! There are nearly 500,000 people here in Hyde Harbor! ”

Located in the luxurious manor on the west side of Port Hyde, the fifth prince Benson, who is tall, nearly two meters, handsome, imposing, and has a crossed sword inlaid with gems hanging from his waist, is shocked and angry - although the strong support from Douglas Barrett made him not lose to the third prince who was supported by the revolutionary army in the previous turmoil in the royal capital, after all, he has no other strong hole cards except Douglas Barrett, so he can only help the latter to loot the arsenal of the royal capital, Temporarily return to his own territory and stalemate with the third prince, trying to wait for a turn in his favor.

By the way, there are two main reasons why men like Douglas Barrett appeared in the Kingdom of Clifford and also participated in the battle for the throne of the princes:

First, as an ally of Barrett's former hometown of Gorzburg (aka the "Nation of War"), the Kingdom of Clifford was once Douglas Barrett's mercenary battlefield overseas when he was a young soldier - it was here that he grew stronger and received the superhuman "Fruit of Integration", which he was relatively familiar with compared to the rest of the world.

Second, as a military power in the New World, the Clifford Kingdom has the world's top five arsenals in the country, and the former king is a recognized weapon smuggling giant in the New World - Douglas Barrett, who has eaten the superhuman "Combination Fruit", can enhance his combat effectiveness by merging with various weapons, and the Clifford Kingdom, which has an average of twelve people with a gun, is undoubtedly a treasure trove for him to become stronger.

According to Douglas Barrett's original plan, when the third prince he supported became king, he could make full use of the country's weapons output, so as to make himself stronger every day.

However, the arrival of the revolutionary army disrupted his and the third prince's original plan, and the arrival of the Navy's Demon Slayer Fleet reported by the guards seemed to have made their plan go straight to bankruptcy......

So—

"Hmph, it seems that fate has been decided, you are not destined to be king, Benson ......"

On the opposite side of the fifth prince Benson, a soldier who was unusually burly and nearly five meters tall slowly got up with a mockery - this person's military uniform was stained, but it was full of medals and medals, and it was Douglas Barrett, who had the title of "Heir to the Devil"!

"What did you say?!"

Benson, who was very dissatisfied with Douglas Barrett because he failed to put himself on the throne smoothly and had to help him loot the arsenal, completely forgot what kind of monster the other party was under Barrett's ridicule, stood up from his seat and asked angrily.

"Isn't it?"

Douglas Barrett sneered and asked, "Even I, a pirate, can see that although your Clifford Kingdom is a member of the World Government, it has long made the high-level of the World Government very dissatisfied...... Your dead dad may have a green head on his head, but he is still shrewd and capable. In the early years, when your country was not so strong, he hurriedly hugged the thigh of the world government, so as to prevent the kingdom from being torn apart by the pirates of the new world like hungry wolves; And when your country became stronger, he began to lead the kingdom to gradually alienate the world government, and he also had constant dealings with the neighboring Whitebeard Pirates......"

“……”

"Although your dad is very secretive, he doesn't think that those ubiquitous government lackeys CP can't find out, right? Before he died, the world government was not good at tearing his face. And now that he's dead, there's only a few of you left in the country to fight for the throne, and I'm here again with the Revolutionary Army, the government's henchmen......"

"This is a great opportunity for the world government! Hahahaha! The world government can not only shuffle your Clifford Kingdom and prop up completely obedient puppets, but also sweep away enemies like me and the revolutionary army, and reassert their strength and majesty ......"

"As for the opinion of your Clifford Kingdom and your lives, excuse me, what are you?"

Although he looks like a brainless muscular man, Douglas Barrett actually has a very thorough view of the Navy's Demon Slaying Order, and this thoroughness comes from the lessons he has suffered from betrayal, and on the other hand, it also comes from the influence of resourceful bigwigs such as Reilly when he was in the Roger Pirates.

"You're ......!"

Regarding Douglas Barrett's remarks, the fifth prince Bensen's face turned purple for a while, but in the end, he had nothing to refute, so he could only say viciously, "You are less alarmist, the biggest purpose of the Navy Demon Slayer Fleet to come to our Clifford Kingdom is probably just to destroy the revolutionary army!" And then there's you, the remnant of Roger's Pirates! As long as I hand you over, and then cooperate with ......"

"Just what?"

"As long as I hand you over...... Ah——!h

！ ”

The fifth prince Benson was speechless forever, because his head had been pinched by a sinking Douglas Barrett - the difference in size and strength between the two sides made his head as small and fragile as a fish ball in the hands of the other party.

"It's stupid and disgusting......"

"The Navy's Demon Slayer Fleet? Just come on! ”

Douglas Barrett grinned, and his body exploded like a cannonball, blasting through the roof, carrying smoke and air currents, straight towards the sea frozen by Kuzan!

"The sea is a cruel battlefield, and I am the new and strongest existence on this battlefield!

！ ”

……

Ten minutes after Kuzan completely frozen the sea where Hyde Harbor was located, seeing that Sakasky beside him was a little out of breath, and had changed from smoking cigars to smoking lava, Polusalino slowly spoke:

"Alright, it's almost time to launch the Demon Slaying Order."

“……”

Sakasky nodded slightly, and with an expressionless face, he flicked the golden phone bug that symbolized the launch of the Demon Slaying Order, and suddenly, every warship in the Demon Slaying Order fleet sounded a sharp "warning!" The sound of the alarm.

"Excellent! Air combat troops, sortie! ”

Roar——!

！

Roar——!

！

Roar——!

！

As Polusalino's order was given, countless black shadows soon flew out from the decks of the five warships that were behind. If you look closely, there are huge eagles, ancient pterosaurs, and large beetles with wings...... The number is at least in the thousands.

But all of these "creatures" shimmered with the unique sheen of metal, and their bodies were covered with cannons—yes, they could move their eyes and even scream or roar, but none of them were alive. They were all similar weapons of war that Dr. Vegapunk had created after studying the Steel Sea Drake that Polusalino had temporarily lent him, and they were the new weapons that the World Government was going to test this time!

Truth be told, Dr. Vegapunk, who studied under Dr. Tsukimi the Moonman, had already mastered the art of mechanizing creatures, but he had always felt that such a transformation was too low-level and a project that was completely unworthy of his efforts - until he saw the Steel Drakemon, which represented the highly mechanized transformation of the Digimon world, and rekindled his interest.

However, due to some technical and material limitations in the pirate world, the flying war weapons he has created so far are almost only at the level that the officers of the Navy Headquarters can solve.

But even so, these things were powerful enough on the battlefield at the moment, and the Five Elders had him build quite a few to test them - among other things, the sounds they made when they went out collectively could be heard miles away in Hyde Harbor.

"What's that?"

"Oh my God!"

"It's a monster, run!"

In the sky, a black oppression struck towards Hyde Harbor.

If Kuzan's act of freezing the sea had only plunged people into a state of panic and confusion, now people have quickly begun to act after a wave of panic - countless people rushed for their lives, and the entire port of Hyde was instantly plunged into chaos.

Seeing the giant eagle flying overhead, a pirate couldn't suppress the fear in his heart and directly raised his gun to shoot.

"Bang!"

It was also lucky, this pirate's shot just hit the key part of the wings of the transformed giant eagle, and the transformed giant eagle suddenly lost its flight balance, and then fell from hundreds of meters in the air. "Boom" smashed into a house, kicking up a large cloud of smoke and dust.

Because of his gun, many gun-wielding pirates, bounty hunters, patrolling troops, and even caravan guards took out their guns and shot into the sky.

However, they weren't as lucky as the pirate, as regular musket bullets hitting the modified creatures didn't do much damage to their alloy metal exterior (just sparks), and they also activated their "auto-strike" system.

Anyone who shoots will be attacked directly - so, in the blink of an eye, these huge and dangerous modified creatures have caused a lot of casualties.

Before the Navy's fleet could begin its devastating bombardment, a large number of modified creatures had caused great damage in Hyde Harbor, and several of them had done particularly much damage.

Bang –

Clang!

It was a fifteen-meter-long metal wyvern descending rapidly from a high altitude and then flying low down the street. The bullet hit it with no more than a dent and a spark.

"Ahh No! Ahh

Let me go!

！ ”

The metal wyvern's dragon claws easily grabbed a Kingdom soldier who had shot at it, sending him into the sky, sharp claws piercing through the shoulders and blood pouring down.

Soon after, however, he was silent, as his head was bitten off by another metal eagle.

"Get out of here!"

A big man in brown clothes and a green captain's hat held a mace, shouted and soared into the air, jumping more than ten meters in a moment. At the same time, the heavy mace in his hand was swung out, bringing a gust of wind!

"Bang!"

The spiked mace smashed into a twelve-meter-long metal pterodactyl, shattering it on the spot, sending pieces of alloy flying in all directions before falling from the sky.

However, this man was only a few exceptions to the resistance in the harbor, and many more were powerless in the face of these large, nimble metal creatures.

On the bow of the warship on the sea, Polusalino observed the battle situation in the port of Hyde with a telescope, and when he saw the port that had fallen into complete chaos, he waved his hand again and gave another order:

"Let 'Shuke' and 'Beta' go out and turn on the data monitoring."

"Roar!

！ ”

"Wow!

！ ”

As Porusalino's order was heard, a short time later, a metal wyvern with a body size of more than twenty meters roared and flew up from the deck of the warship behind, along with a metal monster bird with a wingspan of more than five meters.

"Shuke" and "Beta", two of the most powerful war weapons made by Dr. Vegapunk, of which "Shuke" is based on the steel sea dragon beast as a direct template. Although the strength is certainly far from being comparable to that of the Steel Sea Dragonmon, if you look at it by the standards of the Navy Headquarters, this Shuke has completely reached the level of an ordinary Commodore of the Headquarters - a war weapon of this strength is enough to crush the vast majority of pirates in this world in all directions.

And once they can be mass-produced......

……

Due to the suddenness of the attack on the naval side, and the fact that the royal troops stationed in the port basically left. Only 10,000 Kingdom soldiers remained, including 5,000 sailors (soldiers who control the ships of the Clifford Kingdom fleet), and most of them chose to go into the city to deal with the modified creatures who attacked from the air. Therefore, in the face of the naval fleet gradually approaching the port, not a single warship left the port to stop it—of course, they couldn't stop it, after all, Kuzan had already completed the control of the whole map.

Following the icefield channel that Kuzan had deliberately left behind, three battleships flying the flags of different major generals entered the harbor and reached the coast. However, the first to land was not ordinary sailors, but more than 300 special troops with battle mechs!

While these mechs created by Dr. Vegapunk are still rudimentary (the creativity provided by Polusalino resembles Lelouchuri's original Knightmare), their mobility combined with extremely strong metal armor is enough to make them a massive killer on the battlefield!

Three hundred mech naval units roared and landed in Hyde Harbor, slaughtering the rebellious Kingdom soldiers, and then hundreds of marines poured out around the mecha troops—Butan Synergy!

"Give it to me, there is no mercy for those who rebel!"

Rear Admiral "Flying Squirrel" jumped from a warship nearly 20 meters high to the bluestone ground of the port, and then grabbed the chainsaw on his waist and rushed up.

- That's right, some of the admirals' weapons have also been upgraded by Polusalino and Dr. Vegapunk, and those traditional knives and long swords have all been turned into electric chainsaws and disposable laser knives!

"Kill!

！ ”

"Destroy them!

”

"In the name of absolute justice!

”

Unlike the navy, which had undergone pre-war training and had neat slogans, the rebels in Hyde Harbor were scattered like a mass of sand, and a considerable number of them chose to flee after seeing the difference in strength between the two sides.

Ironically, the most powerful of these rebels are not the armies that have been built by the Clifford Kingdom with a lot of money, but the pirates who have been caught up in them.

Unlike the defeated Clifford Kingdom army, although their strength is uneven, they are all murderers who are begging for a living on the sea - they are more willing to choose violent resistance and fight their way out of their own strength than to be slaughtered or hunted down for unknown reasons!

"Damn, is this a new weapon of the Navy?!"

On the shore of the harbor, a shirtless sturdy man held a snow-bright sword, and with a flash of the knife, a naval combat mech and the pilot inside were split in two from the middle.

Boom ——!

At this moment, the heavy artillery in a turret off the coast of Port Hyde finally opened fire on the Navy's vanguard fleet parked in the harbor, and the shells hit the ice and blew up countless ice slags.

"Oh? Are there any surviving rebels in the turret? Sure enough, you should wash the ground with artillery first...... Well, but it's not bad,"

On the flagship of the naval fleet, Polusalino immediately ordered: "Pass my order!" Blow up all the turrets along the coast, and leave not a single one behind! ”

Boom, boom, boom!

Soon, the Grand Fleet's artillery fire began to take effect, and pitch-black and deadly shells flew towards the turrets along the coast, mixed with magma shells fired by the bored Sakasky.

Probably because the Kingdom of Clifford felt that its fleet was strong and could usually defend itself from the enemy, there was no strong defense in Hyde Harbor, only less than ten masonry turrets, and each turret was only equipped with one 128-pounder and a few 32-pounder guns, and the firepower was really limited.

Phew-

A 256-pound pitch-black cannonball fired by a Navy warship tore through the air and flew towards one of the turrets with a scream of destruction!

"Ahh

"Run! Come on! I'm going to die! ”

Seeing the cannonballs flying straight away, all of a sudden, the soldiers in the turret shouted and fled in all directions.

Boom ——!

！

The entire turret was completely blasted open, black smoke billowed and countless pieces of debris splattered in all directions.

……

"The sky is full of mechanical monsters, the fleets of the navy...... What the hell is going on?! Isn't the Kingdom of Clifford a member of the World Government?! ”

In a tall building on the main street, a man in a pink suit and pants looks ugly at the chaotic port.

This person has black hair combed back into a large back, a pair of brown sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and expensive jewelry all over his body, giving people an extremely strong nouveau riche feeling.

Bang!

Suddenly, the wall on the side shattered, and a huge black shadow crashed in, and for a moment the masonry flew and filled the air with smoke and dust.

The man turned to see a somewhat damaged naval mech.
