Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Fruit of Steel
Above the sea,
The two fleets met unexpectedly, and the moment they saw each other's flags, the battle began.
Bang bang bang,
The Don Quixote struck sideways, tongues of fire blooming from the guns on the ship's side.
Dozens of 'inferior explosive rock' shells bombarded the hull of the battleship opposite, and a large cloud of brown dust and smoke was immediately raised on the bow and side of the ship, which was a mixture of wood chips, iron chips, and even crumbs of flesh.
In order to take advantage of the firepower of this armed merchant ship, Rossi and the others had to allow the clone soldiers of the Vince Mock family to act as gunners on the ship.
"Damn, these guys' weapons are too advanced, aren't they?!"
On the warship belonging to Pyrada on the other side, the captain of the kingdom in his overcoat raised his command knife fiercely.
"Charge, rush over——?!"
The captain was just about to give the order when he saw the battleship on the opposite side turn around, give up the advantage of firepower, and charge at them.
As the Don Quixote moved, all kinds of pirate ships and armed merchant ships behind it all moved, and their firepower was not as good as the warships on the other side, let alone compared to the Don Quixote.
It was precisely in order to take care of the mixed good and bad behind her that the Don Quixote was able to move forward, like an arrow leading the entire fleet to the opposite direction.
"Kill!"
"Hahaha, for the treasure!
”
"Warriors of Pyrada,"
"For our loved ones, for our homeland—"
The sun shone into the sea, the waves were surging and the artillery fire was continuous, and the two fleets shouting different slogans were like knights on the sea, crashing together!
On the deck, the pirates wielded their knives and spears, or raised their flintlock pistols, and climbed on the sail rope and screamed and swung wildly at the opposite side.
On the other side, the soldiers belonging to the Pyrada also relied on the ship's side, forts, and masts to form a military formation, and the crackling lead bullets whistled out, causing the pirates hanging on the ropes to shake their bodies and fall weakly into the sea with the blood that shot out.
Puff,
Even in the middle of the sea, there are pirates and soldiers who have fallen into the water.
Occasionally, a strong man with fins on his back and webbed fingers grabbed the pirates and dragged them into the sea.
It was the 'Fishman Force' subordinate to Parada, as the four strongest non-member countries in the North Sea, both in terms of personnel and weapons, the will to fight was very strong, and the opponents that Rossi and others had encountered before were not at the same level at all.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, at this critical moment, the soldiers on the deck of the warship suddenly turned their guns and greeted their colleagues with deadly lead bullets.
"What are you doing?!"
"No... It's not..."
"Our bodies, moving on their own—"
A group of frightened-looking sailors shouted, their bodies involuntarily attacking their other colleagues, even though they were conscious. This kind of involuntary situation left his anxious tears behind.
"Kill me, kill me!"
"I can't control myself, I'm the enemy's power!"
"Ferver~~"
The shadow of the massive Don Quixote cast over the warship.
Standing proudly on the bow of the ship, Dover stretched out his arms, and his ten fingers continued to hook, and the parasitic line had already taken the first step to control the soldiers on the opponent's deck.
"Surrender or destruction?"
In the face of Dover's ultimatum, the captain of the warship did not answer, but clenched the command knife in his hand and waved it forward.
"Slash the ship!"
A half-moon-shaped flying slash shot out and slammed into the air towards Dover.
This captain is also a sword hero.
The figure flickered, and Virgo flew up to Dover, his arms in front of his chest.
Boom!
With a piercing sound of Jingo's blow, Virgo's whole body was shocked, and a red crack on his arm began to ooze blood, but to him, such an injury was just a skin wound.
"Whip!"
As Virgo blocked the flying slash, Dover raised his arm high and threw it forward.
A long whip made of countless thin threads rolled out like a strange python, letting out a terrible roar!
smashed on the warship, and the deck exploded one after another, almost disemboweling the warship.
"Damn, it's Doflamingo, the 'Red King' of the Don Quixote family!"
The captain who dodged the whip glanced ugly at the deck cracked by the 'Whip', and the reputation of the Don Quixote family had spread throughout the North Sea as the battle intensified.
That conspicuous 'pink' feather coat is the origin of Dover's nickname 'Red King'.
"Be careful, the other party also has a 'Black King' who is good at assassination!"
By the time the captain of the sword lord shouted, Dover, dressed in a pink coat, had already leapt down and landed on the deck of the warship.
"Don't worry, Rosie isn't here."
?
Hearing Dover's words, the captain was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly turned his head to look at the flagship 'Aegis' in the center of the fleet.
"Quick, contact Major General Amini—"
Hearing the captain's order, the first mate behind him with a knife in his hand immediately pulled out the phone bug, and then there was only a series of busy tones of 'Blu Blu Blue'.
?!
"Ferver, your chain of command is finished!"
————
"Herald:"
"Turn thirty degrees to the left, port gunner ready!"
"Let the Iron Hoof protect the injured Horse..."
On the deck of the Aegis, stood a burly man in a general's coat (like a navy), with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
Inches, military boots, camouflage pants, and small vests reveal solid knotted muscles with a hidden metallic sheen.
"Major General Amini, phone bug—"
The anxious voice of the herald next to him interrupted the inch-headed general's order, causing him to turn his head in displeasure.
?!
In the hands of the herald is a phone bug with a mouth that keeps opening and closing.
Strangely, no sound came out.
"It's... Don't! ”
Reaching out to grab his herald, before the herald could react, a bang exploded in his ears, making the herald subconsciously pounce to the side.
"Worthy of a major general,"
Behind the herald, at some point, there was a young man in a black feather coat, with a narrow katana in his hand with a black-red flame pattern, it was Rosie!
And the three generations of Ghost Che in his hands are firmly held in the hands of this general named 'Amini'.
"You're the hell—"
The officer grabbed the three generations of Oni Che with the five fingers of his left hand, and at the same time made a fist with his right hand and blasted towards Rosie.
"'Black King' Rosinandi!"
Facing the huge fist of the officer in front of him glowing with metallic light, Rossi directly stretched out his left hand and spread his five fingers to stop the opponent's attack.
syllable
The fist and palm collided, and Rossi's whole person shook like a willow tree in the wind, but his feet seemed to be rooted, and he didn't retreat! His face turned red instantly, and he randomly returned to normal.
What a strong force,
Kakatsa!
At the same time, the deck under Rossi's feet centered on him, and the radiation suit exploded more than a dozen spider crevices behind him, directly exposing the cabin below.
If it weren't for Rossi transferring the impact to his feet, this punch would have been enough for him.
"Let go—"
Come and don't be rude,
After receiving the opponent's punch, Rossi immediately flew into the air! went straight to the other party's crotch to force the other party to let go of the three generations of ghosts.
Boom!
Rossi's face changed at the sound of metal crashing.
"It's useless,"
The fist was dissolved by Rossi, and the major general Amini directly opened his five fingers and grabbed Rossi regardless of it, not caring at all about his counterattack.
···
"Foot shock!"
Facing the officer who didn't even frown at the 'cow was kicked', Rosie directly lifted his leg and stepped down heavily.
Katsa –
Although the deck of this battleship was made of fine wood, Rossi couldn't help but trample it with all his might. A large explode on the spot in the sound of the wood was kaccha, causing the two to fall down.
The deck exploded, and the two entangled, fell together like a cabin below deck.
In the next second, the entire 'Holy Aegis' was shocked!
"Bullet punch!"
A sharp whistling erupted from the cabin, mixed with flying sawdust! In the heat wave, a black figure flew upside down.
brush
After a few backflips in the air, and the coat behind him unfolded with a clatter, Rossi landed on the side of the Aegis, holding three generations of ghosts in front of him.
"Good risk, good risk,"
"If you fall down, you'll be doomed."
"Hmph, who are you fooling?"
Leaping out of the huge hole in the deck, he unfastened his coat and slammed his fists into the face of a sleek outfit.
Boom!
"One of the two kings of the Don Quixote family, the 'Black King' Rosinandi."
"Those with the ability of the Silent Fruit are very strong in physical and swordsmanship, and can even speed on the sea, am I right?"
Tsk, that's the price of being 'famous'.
It is impossible for Rosie to kill the enemy in every battle, not to mention that there are other pirates who are surrounded by the Vince Mock family in the battle, and it is normal and good for the ability information to be known by the other party.
Combat is like that, intelligence is the first step.
Only the future 'Straw Hats' will not even know what the enemy's ability is, so they will go straight forward...
"Now that you know my abilities, your defeat is already doomed."
With a snap of his fingers from Rosie, who was standing on the side of the ship, the 'soundproof barrier' that shrouded the battleship quietly unfolded. In an instant, the noise of artillery fire in the ears disappeared, which startled everyone on the battleship.
At the same time, on both sides of the chaotic battlefield, the sky and the sea suddenly 'fell' a large chunk out of thin air, revealing the snail battleship of the Vince Mock family behind it.
?!
"This is my family's companion ability, to draw a map of the sky and the sea on the 'canvas', so as to achieve the effect of 'invisibility'."
As the superior of the 'fruit of the brush', although the fruit of art cannot be painted to be concrete, it is still no problem to make a curtain that can confuse people.
At the same time, the 'Holy Aegis', which had been constantly spitting out cannonballs, gradually fell silent, because in the cabin, Pique used swimming fruits to shuttle at will, constantly bringing down the soldiers in the warship.
"Bastard, notify right away—"
The general in the vest and camouflage pants subconsciously wanted to command the fleet to change formations to meet the enemy, but as soon as he took a step, he reacted:
If you don't solve the young man in front of you, no voice can be transmitted!
"Going to kill me first?"
Facing the inch-headed general with dangerous eyes, Rosie took the time to save the three generations of ghosts in his hands.
"That's impossible, if it wasn't for the test of your defenses, you wouldn't have been able to touch me at all."
"The one with the 'Iron Fruit' ability, Major General Amini."
Before the war, the other party was able to obtain Rossi's information, and Rossi was naturally able to obtain the opponent's information.
The Superhuman Steel Fruit is a 'superhuman' Devil Fruit that can turn the user's body into steel from top to bottom, and is a 'superhuman' Devil Fruit that changes the physique.
"As long as you are held back, after losing command, the destruction of this fleet is only a matter of time-"
Rossi, who made the victory declaration, frowned, because he couldn't see a trace of panic on the other party's face, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"It's you who have fallen into the trap, the Don Quixote."
?
At this moment, suddenly a ray of light pierced through the 'Don Quixote'!
Although there was no sound, the exaggerated white air wave was like a razor, cutting a deep dent in the sea.
"What kind of ability is this?"
Rosie's gaze quickly swept over the source of the light, and he saw a strong man with red messy hair and dark skin.
This guy, could it be-
"Cannonball Punch!"
With a scream, a fist glowing red slammed into Rossi.
Above the fist of Major General Amini, who was in full strength, there was a scorching red light, like red-hot steel.
Rumble!
The terrifying heat exploded, blasting a huge gap directly into the side of the ship where Rossi was standing.
brush
The three generations of ghosts who dodged and leaped in the air in Rossi's hand swung out, stabbing from top to bottom towards the back of the neck of Major General Amini, whose fist missed, but with a bang, sparks flew out of the sky.
But he couldn't break through the defense of the 'Iron Fruit'!
