Chapter 506: A Moving Torch at Sea

By the time Orochimaru led twenty cruisers against the current to Uchiha Rumbu's predetermined ambush area, the reinforcements of the puppet navy had arrived on Justice Island and began the second leg of the voyage after a short resupply.

The Wolf submarine under the command of Uchiha Rumbu is silently tailing and constantly sending information about the location of the puppet government naval fleet, so that the ambush fleet can adjust its combat deployment in time.

"According to His Majesty's will and the deployment of Hanzo's command, the upcoming sniper battle plan is mainly to cause damage, focus on the damage of enemy warships, and try not to cause losses to our warships for the sake of killing!"

Orochimaru made a modest 'correction' to Hanzo's tactical arrangement without changing his color, and Uchiha Rumbu, who didn't know much about it, was convinced.

"That's a good thing......"

Uchiha Rumbu also agrees with this: "According to the intelligence ninja secret report of the Chambord Islands, the hundreds of warships under the command of this reinforcement fleet are already the main force of the naval headquarters, but most of the real elites of the navy are stationed in the new world, and they maintain a confrontation with those super-large pirate groups...... If we swallow up this fleet in one go, it is estimated that they will be desperate to draw those elite navies to encircle and suppress them. ”

"It's better for us to fight a long game......"

Orochimaru nodded and agreed, "As time goes by, we will only get stronger day by day, so the day of the world's decisive battle will not come soon." ”

"When the reinforcement fleet thinks that it has finally reached the end of victory after breaking through the heavy sniping, the city of Advance has become a huge sea cage!"

Uchiha Rumbu viciously nailed the kunai in his hand to the ambush position of the rudimentary chart!

……

Admiral Kuzan, who rarely led the fleet in person, stood on the mast of the fleet's first battleship, looking out at the calm ahead.

Rather than being in the Navy Headquarters and shouldering trivial tasks such as the so-called 'protection of the Draconians', he prefers to command a large fleet across the seas.

It's just that this time the combat mission is not simple.

Although his temperament is relatively lazy, as a general, he naturally has an extraordinary ability to make logical judgments, so based on the recent battle reports - especially the encirclement and suppression of pirates in the East China Sea, it can be seen that this mysterious force under the guise of the 'Fog Hidden Pirates' is not simple.

After all, even those super pirates in the New World are not capable of crushing a naval fleet with firepower, and it is the most puzzling that Paradise, which has the strongest control of the world government and the weakest in the pirate world, suddenly emerges from such a force!

What's more, the successive defeats of the naval fleet are no longer a matter of individual combat strength, but represent an all-round gap in the system from tactics to equipment.

To put it more bluntly, the Navy is already lagging behind!

Fall behind this mysterious force that is besieging the advancing city!

Therefore, Kuzan, who is a general, is very depressed.

Although his position is not very inclined to the 'ship-building faction' in the Navy Headquarters that has some interests related to the capital of the Seven Waters, he also understands that the main battleships of the Navy at this time are powerless to resist the mysterious ironclad fleet.

"So, the Navy needs to change ......"

At this moment, as the naval fleet continued to advance, a row of battleships appeared on the sea level in front of the left!

"It's ......"

Kuzan's heart moved, and he immediately took out his binoculars to observe the twelve ironclads in front of him.

"The Fog Hidden Pirates have appeared! All troops on alert! ”

At the same time, the naval fleet also sounded one after another orders, and the sailors, who were already very nervous, quickly returned to their respective combat positions under the urging of the general, and their eyes were also collectively cast on Admiral Kuzan, who was standing at the highest point of the fleet.

Admiral Kuzan remained silent, and continued to observe the ironclad fleet in the distance, leaving the generals under his command to play on their own.

And in his field of observation, the newly emerging ironclad fleet changed the direction of the rudder in unison, converting the formation that was advancing in unison into a straight line, and with the continuous sailing, it was just in front of the naval fleet!

"Long-range fire tactics......

General Kuzan snorted coldly: "Go all out and go forward!" All the generals and colonels stepped forward to intercept the shells! ”

At the same time, he also silently mobilized his forces and prepared to freeze the entire sea area!

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

As the front fleet opened fire in unison, a barrage smashed neatly towards the naval fleet!

But the admirals and colonels who were waiting for the battle immediately jumped up and intercepted all the chakra shells that came in the first round by various means, and Kuzan did not have a chance to strike.

The fleet in front then continued to sail, firing shells in all directions of the large naval fleet.

"Watch out for interception! And it's too slow! ”

Although three salvos came down, and the naval fleet was only damaged by a few fragments of shells in the front row, Admiral Kuzan was still very dissatisfied!

The speed of the battleship on the opposite side was obviously much faster than the battleship under his command, and after three salvos, the ironclad fleet in front had already passed through the front, as if it was about to sweep towards its right flank!

And if the naval fleet composed of sail warships wants to change the rudder direction as a whole, it is not so simple!

"What kind of tactical ...... is this?"

Kuzan was puzzled.

But then on the left flank of the naval fleet, again a much larger fleet sequence appeared!

"Twenty-five ironclads!"

General Kuzan immediately set up his binoculars and looked at it, and then couldn't help but take a breath of cold air!

Although the ships in the field of vision are much smaller than those that appear in front of them, they are more than twice as numerous!

And even if it sails against the currents of the fast course, its speed is obviously much faster than the battleship in front!

"A fast warship with a little less firepower but a tendency to speed......"

Based on the two different types of warships that have appeared so far, Admiral Kuzan quickly judged the role of the ship.

"The frontal fireship is delayed to intercept, and the flank is disturbed by a rapid ship attack to strangle ......"

According to the characteristics of the two fleets, Admiral Kuzan quickly made a new tactical deployment.

It's just that the attack method adopted by the cruiser led by Orochimaru was not a salvo, but a random scattering of seemingly each ship's gun position on its own.

But just when the admirals were a little lax-

"Boom, boom!!"

The ironclad fleet in front of the right and the cruiser fleet in the rear left seemed to have made an appointment, and they launched a salvo in unison!

"Frozen Barrier!"

This time Kuzan had to make a move.

As a general, he naturally has extraordinary strength, not to mention that he was prepared at this time, as soon as he made a move, a huge and incomparably solid ice barrier was condensed in front of the left side of the fleet, stopping nearly a third of the heavy artillery!

And the fire offensive of the cruiser formation was mixed with flat fire and projectile fire, although the startled admirals and colonels tried their best to intercept again, but the projectile chakra shells still passed the interception of the peripheral warships and bombarded into the naval battleship group!

And the ones that are protected in the middle are mainly the transport ships and supply ships that are relatively weaker!

"Ice Breath!"

Admiral Kuzan immediately turned around, took a deep breath, and then blew a burst of freezing gas towards the ship that began to catch fire, and at the same time froze the sailors' eyebrows, and forcibly extinguished the flames on the ship!

"What the hell is this!"

Orochimaru, who was observing the shelling, was also taken aback!

Even the Shui Wuyue Ninja, who has the highest attainment in the ninja world, may not be able to blow out the chakra flames in one breath so easily!

"Immediately telegraph to the commander of Rumbu that the enemy's leader is far stronger than expected, and it is recommended that the medium-range bombardment plan be cancelled!"

Orochimaru immediately said to the staff ninja.

After a while, he received a reply from Uchiha Rumbu: keep your distance and continue to attack, and give priority to striking the ships that must be saved in the middle of the enemy fleet cluster!

"Hoo ......"

Orochimaru also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Uchiha Rumbu is a relatively good talker, and it is relatively easy to listen to other people's opinions......

However, despite the extremely conservative tactical response, Orochimaru's heart is still somewhat unlucky.

"If you use the Yaki technique, I don't know if you can compete with the so-called admiral......

Orochimaru licked his lips, but finally suppressed the belligerent urge in his heart.

After all, he hadn't figured out the trick of using immortal arts at will in a world without natural energy, and there were still twenty-five cruisers to take care of by himself at this time......

……

East China Sea.

The battle between Loquat Juzo's Misty Hidden Ironclad Fleet and Vice Admiral Karp's naval fleet is gradually entering the white-hot stage!

Although the Navy's main guns only had about half the range of the Fog Hidden Fleet, they continued to fire in an attempt to create an impotent and furious posture, and at the same time to keep approaching the Fog Hidden Fleet, which was slowing down and continuing to bombard, under the cover of gunsmoke and spray.

It's just that although the admirals and colonels went all out to intercept the chakra shells of the six ironclad ships, there were always times when they were negligent, so there were constantly a number of cheap goods such as ships of the member countries and branch clippers in the battleship cluster that were turned into floating flares on the sea.

And this scene in the eyes of the Mist Hidden Ninja made them even more fanatical!

"Don't skimp on shells! Shoot all the firepower! ”

The loquat Shizo in the command tower looked crazy, and constantly issued orders through the microphone, urging the fog hidden ninjas who were already red-eyed to hurry up and hurry up!

Although it seems that the situation is very good, for some reason, the Fukasaku Immortals, who also came to the command tower to observe the battle situation, always feel a little uneasy!

Although it does not understand the tactics and logic of army operations, it seems that the current progress is too smooth!

"Success is always a good thing......"

However, after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out any nutritious content, so the Fukasaku Immortal put aside the worries in his mind and continued to watch the battle with the uneasiness in his heart.

"On the enemy's right flank, ships one to three are shooting!"

Loquat Shizang issued the order again.

Under his command, another naval battleship was sunk under heavy fire, and the surviving sailors on board were rescued by other ships with great difficulty.

"Hurry, hurry! Replace the secondary cannon with a shotgun! I'm getting close! ”

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the navy, Loquat Shizang felt even more refreshing!

This is the posture that a Blood Mist Sect should have!

Since the so-called world government is not willing to take the initiative to throw an olive branch to itself, then fight them to recognize their status!

Loquat Shizo licked his lips and found a target again.

But just as he was about to give the order again, there was a sudden uproar up and down the fleet!

"What the hell!"

Loquat Shizang was immediately furious!

But when he looked back, his heart pounded!

Fleet!

Directly in front of his battle line, that is, in front of the right side of the naval fleet, suddenly a field of sails appeared!

Then, to his left, that is, directly in front of the naval fleet, more than a dozen sail battleships also appeared!

"Do you want to encircle and annihilate!"

Loquat Shizo's shark teeth are almost shattered!

"The boiler is pressurized at full speed! Forty-five degrees on the left side! ”

Although furious, Loquat Shizang also made a choice immediately!

Protecting the ship is the number one priority!

These six ironclad ships are not only the strongest warships of the Fog Hide, but the ninjas who accompany the ship are one of the few elites of the Fog Hide and Myoki Mountain, if they are damaged here, then the alliance between the Fog Hide and the Myoki Mountain will be completely collapsed!

Moreover, who is willing to recruit if there is no capital!

……

"Blah! Blast! ”

As soon as the naval fleet on the Great Detour appeared at sea level, Vice Admiral Karp immediately uttered the most fanatical cry: "Abandon all auxiliary ships and go full speed!" ”

"All admirals and colonels who can push the speed of the ship immediately withdraw from their interception posts and bring me the speed!"

With the cheers of the Navy, the Naval Fleet erupted with unprecedented speed!

Even if the wind is so strong that the sails are almost broken, they don't care!

There is only one thought in the minds of all the Navy!

Melee!

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

After the Fog Concealment Fleet completed its turn, the direction of the fleet's advance changed to the sea area between the frontal fleet and the right flank fleet.

This is also the fastest route to get out of the encirclement, and it can also dump fire on the left and right naval warships at the same time after turning.

However, the fleet led by Vice Admiral Karp stubbornly withstood the loss of more than a dozen battleships being sunk halfway, and bit the two ironclad ships behind the Fog Hidden Fleet.

"Fist Bone Meteor Swarm!"

Just as the fleets of both sides were approaching, Vice Admiral Karp struck!

I saw that he continued to pick up cannonballs and smashed them at the Fog Hidden Ironclad that was moving at full speed like a lead ball!

"Boom!"

With loud bangs, the outer armor of the ironclad ship was blown apart, and the deck was knocked out of deep pits!

It is so powerful that it even surpasses the main guns of naval battleships!

But even if the ironclad ship was beaten to the ground, its speed still did not decrease!

"I'll be the first to charge!"

"Navy Six Style: Moon Step!"

Vice Admiral Karp roared angrily, and jumped on his right foot on the penultimate ironclad ship in mid-air—

"Fist Bone Impact!"

After coming to the sky above the ironclad ship, under the protection of the armed domineering, Vice Admiral Karp punched down with a volley!

"Boom!"

The sturdy ironclad in the eyes of the Misty Ninja was knocked through the deck and water trap, and even cracks began to appear in the bottom of the ship!

"Damn!"

Loquat Shizang's teeth have been bitten to pieces by himself, and a stream of blood flows from the corner of his mouth!

"Execute Project Rainbow!"

In an instant, Loquat Shizang immediately made a decision!

I can only survive with my tail broken!

"Water Escape: The Art of the Great Waterfall!"

Just when the fog hidden ninjas on the fourth ironclad ship used their ninjutsu to set off huge waves, the fog hidden ninjas on the decks of the two ironclad ships that were blocked from retreating jumped into the sea without hesitation; At the same time, the ninja who controls the machinery and boiler in the cabin immediately set a detonation charm countdown, and at the same time opened the water trap at the bottom of the ship, and dived to the bottom of the sea under the pressure of the rapidly swarming seawater!

At the same time, the ninja frogs on the four ironclad ships that had just escaped from the encirclement jumped into the water one after another, assisting the fog hidden ninjas who took the initiative to go to the sea to abscond!

"It's so decisive......"

In the face of the Fog Hidden Fleet's severed tail to survive, even experienced Vice Admiral Karp couldn't help but be stunned.

However, just two ships were not enough to satisfy his appetite - he was not young, but he wanted them all!

"Don't want to run away!"

Lieutenant General Karp shouted again, and at the same time smashed the rushing ninjutsu wave with a single punch, preparing to cast a moon-step chase - he had never eaten a Devil Fruit, and the sea water had no effect on him at all!

But just as he was about to leap forward, the battleship under his feet turned into a torch with a muffled sound!

"Lieutenant General!"

The navy was shocked!

"Yay!"

Loquat Shizang clapped his hands and said quickly!

"Abominable, abominable, abominable!"

Although he was blown up in rags and looked like he had a lot of scars, Vice Admiral Karp, who was blown into the air, still relied on his extraordinary strength to stabilize his body in mid-air, and used his moon steps to sweep towards the Fog Hidden Fleet!

"Magic Toad Singing!"

The toad immortal's mouth swelled, and a noise towards Lieutenant General Karp almost shattered the space—

"Quack !!"

Lieutenant General Karp was struck by an invisible, colorless sound wave, and his eardrum began to rupture, thus losing the ability to sustain his moon steps in mid-air.

"Water Escape, Water Dragon Bounce!"

Subsequently, the water dragon transformed by the water escape ninjutsu of Loquat Shizang bit Lieutenant General Karp and blasted him into the sea!

"Do you want to chase and kill?"

Fukasaku Immortal asked.

"Evacuate!"

Loquat Shizo, who had barely recovered the field, still had a pale face and rejected Fukasaku Immortal's proposal.

"Lieutenant General!"

The navies who watched the commanders crash into the sea burst out in unison, desperately paddling their oars to get close to the four remaining ironclad ships in the fog.

However, it is fortunate that Vice Admiral Karp relied on his mastery to snipe the enemy alone, which led to a relative disconnection in the naval fleet, otherwise......

"Phew!"

Loquat Shizang viciously spat out a mouth full of broken teeth.

In the sea area that was quickly thrown away by the Fog Hidden Fleet, a crippled floating corpse began to float out, which was the body of Vice Admiral Karp who tried to surround and kill Vice Admiral Karp under the sea after jumping into the sea, but was killed by him.

"Keep firing!"

After the loquat Shizang broke out of the encirclement, he roared again: "I will turn them into torches on the sea one by one!" (End of chapter)
