Chapter 543: Advancing the City and Land Sinking

"Why am I the one who was hurt?"

After learning that Charlotte Lingling was besieged by the Admiral and the three major generals, and then successfully escaped with the help of the messenger of the 'Remnants of the Great Kingdom', Kaido was overjoyed and then angry - because Quinn, another 'big Kanban', known as the 'plague', was crushed by the three enraged admirals after he fled with his aunt at Bo Feng Shui Gate!

If it weren't for the fact that Flame Plague Ember, who was at the top of the 'Great Kanban', had transformed into a toothless pterodactyl during the battle, and had been able to fly with the help of wings, it would have been killed on the spot.

But Rao was like this, although Ember was also able to escape, but he was also chased and killed by the elementalized Yellow Ape Wukong, and was beaten all over his body.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Bo Fengshuimen, who was talking with a phone bug, pretended not to understand the meaning of Kaido's words, and responded very bluntly: "So, when will you be able to send troops?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Give me the phone bug! ”

After soaking in the sea and tossing in the water, Charlotte Lingling, who was still in a semi-detached state, said suddenly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Although he was a little unclear, Bo Feng Shuimen still handed over the phone bug.

"Totland's fleet will be dispatched, you can do it yourself!"

Charlotte Lingling said: "Also, don't forget what happened back then, your Devil Fruit is still my ......"

"Got it!"

Kaido hurriedly interrupted Charlotte Lingling's words: "Tomorrow! ”

"Tomorrow my fleet will set sail!"

"And Whitebeard?"

Charlotte Lingling asked again.

"Probably the day after tomorrow......"

Kaido replied quietly.

"Good!"

After speaking, Charlotte Lingling hung up the phone directly.

She used to be a member of the Rocks Pirates with Kaido, and on the day of the destruction of the Rocks Pirates, it was Charlotte Lingling who handed over the Fish Fruit, Phantom Beast Species, and Green Dragon form to Kaido, which was equivalent to indirectly increasing Kaido's strength growth rate.

Although the two later parted ways due to various problems, and the behavior of Aunt Tianxia also made Kaido extremely dissatisfied, no matter what, he still did not forget the kindness of the past.

"It's really a bloody mold......"

Although he was very dissatisfied with the domineering of the aunt, and although he regretted the death of the two big billboards, Kaido once again urged his subordinates to hurry up and complete the preparation for the battle.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Make sure that the aunt has escaped. ”

In the midst of the chaos, X Drake dialed the phone bug's communication in the corner of a dark alley: "The whole group of other beasts will sail tomorrow." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Can you delay time. ”

A deep voice came from the phone bug.

"No, I've tried my best......"

X. Drake exhaled slowly, but still refused his boss's request: "If I make trouble again, I guess I will be exposed......"

The reason why the Hundred Beast Pirates sent troops so slowly is naturally due to the credit of X. Drake, a secret spy from the Navy's secret force, not to mention that he is also one of the 'Flying Six' of the Hundred Beast Pirates, and he is an out-and-out senior pirate cadre, although he may not be able to do anything good, but it is still very easy to quietly stir up a thing.

But that's all X. Drake can do, after all, now that Kaido himself is in charge, he can't find a chance to intervene and delay time.

"I see, stay safe!"

The phone bug on the other end said a simple word and hung up the communication.

"Alas......"

X. Drake sighed and looked up at the blue sky above the cramped walls of the dark alley.

I don't know how long this kind of day will pass, when I can't even tell whether I am a human or a ghost......

……

The battle for the besieged city has entered a white-hot stage.

After the defenders retreated to the basement floor to hold on, the 1st Army began to attempt a landing operation, but suffered heavy losses in the ensuing counterattack, and had no choice but to abandon the beachhead and retreat under the cover of artillery fire.

Seeing this, Sanshoyu Hanzo immediately changed the battle arrangement and began to use the wolfberry Yakura, who had been lurking in the sea to kill the sea king troll.

Subsequently, Sanshoyu Hanzo sent a cannon fodder force composed entirely of shadow clones and water bodies to land again under the cover of artillery fire, and when the garrison navy stationed underground and the advancing city soldiers came out of the ground to prepare for a melee, he immediately made Goji Yakura spew out the Tailed Beast Jade that was already ready!

And the ninjas who sent their clones to replace the dead ghosts also lifted the existence of the clones at the moment when the Tailed Beast Jade was launched, making the defenders who were just about to kill the Quartet feel at a loss in a cloud of green smoke at first, and then turned into ashes in the violent explosion before they could react!

As for the navy stationed there, although they didn't know why the 'remnant fleet' would fire on their own people, after seeing this situation, they no longer took the initiative to leave the underground fortifications to fight.

According to the requirements of Sanshoyu Hanzo, Goji Yakura began the standard bombing process of one Tailed Beast Jade per hour.

Although the bombing pattern of the Tailed Beast Jade was quickly figured out by the garrison navy, because there was no strong man enough to sit in the town, it had to be transferred to the deeper underground floor step by step with the bombing - after all, Director Magellan's ability was highly poisonous, and it was not suitable for this kind of hard-hitting situation.

After the ground structure was completely lifted, Sanshoyu Hanzo finally sent the Marines to the devastated land of the Advance Castle once again and began to set up detection equipment.

And Magellan, who was carrying out the 'Great Cleanup of Prisoners' mission of the Five Old Stars, although he learned the news on the ground through the reports of his subordinates, had no time to care about it at this time, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Although Magellan is a superhuman Poison Fruit ability, but because his strength is all based on Devil Fruits, compared to the well-rounded Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, although he is not much inferior in battle, he has no way to deal with this simple energy body attack.

As for his subordinates......

Including Deputy Director Hannibal, if they were to oppress the prisoners who were crushed to the death of the harsh prison conditions, they would definitely be better at one by one, but if it was a battle in the army, it would be better to stay in the fortifications and be a turtle with a shrunken head.

Magellan's confidence in his subordinates' will to fight was like believing that the Draconians would do their duty and strive for excellence - they had long lost hope.

"Keep working......"

Magellan sighed slightly, tightened the strap of his gas mask, and observed the 'Hunger Hell' on the third underground floor where countless people had died, and after confirming that there was no living mouth, he continued to walk to the fourth basement floor.

In order not to let the battle on the ground fall due to the lack of personnel, and its poisonous gas does not distinguish between enemy and enemy, so Magellan did not send any subordinates to assist, and even the soldiers stationed on each floor were sent by him to the semi-submerged fortifications to squat in the trenches in the name of reinforcing the ground battle, and he carried out the massacre alone with the ability of the Devil Fruit.

But the next fourth floor and the lower prison floors are not so easy.

Starting from the 'Scorching Hell' on the fourth basement floor, most of the prisoners are the most vicious pirate criminals, and Magellan's office and the granary and kitchen of the Advance City are all on this level.

The Scorching Hell is like a giant oil cauldron, and the entire floor is filled with boiling pools of blood and fire, where prisoners are subjected to scorching heat before entering the prison. Due to the transfer of all the pawns, coupled with the massacre that Magellan had unleashed, some of the more clever prisoners on the third basement floor hid through the exhaust pipe between the two floors to the fourth floor, which served as a disinfection layer and storage layer.

According to common sense, Magellan will not leak his poisonous gas at will on this level, after all, the fourth underground floor is related to the supply of the entire Advance City, and if something happens, whether it is the garrison navy or the prison guards, they will be hungry - after all, except for Magellan himself, no one else can eat highly toxic food.

"Hoo ......"

Even Magellan was a little uncomfortable with the high temperature of the fourth layer, after all, this extremely high temperature was also affecting his strength, and the lethality of the poison gas was also reduced due to the temperature.

But as 'the man with the strongest sense of responsibility in the city', Magellan decided to rise to the occasion.

After taking a deep breath, Magellan controlled the defecation caused by the prolonged use of poison gas and began to probe the existence of the lurking prisoner, after all, the fourth underground floor should not be 'indiscriminately sanitized'.

……

"Command Hanzo, the headquarters has now controlled the entrance area of the beachhead on the ground of the advancing city!"

After a round of indiscriminate bombardment and tentative attacks, the Staff Ninja finally reported the good news he wanted to hear most to Sanshoyu Hanzo.

"They didn't fight back?"

Hanzo of Sanshoyu felt a little strange.

"I guess you want us to take the initiative to enter the underground floor to fight in the streets......"

Staff Ninja guessed.

"Heh~"

Sanshoyu Hanzo sneered: "What an interesting idea!" ”

He knew that the melee combat ability of the ninja army under his command was insufficient, so he would be stupid to engage in hand-to-hand combat with this group of thick-skinned guys!

Even the ninjas who were busy at the beachhead at this time were just shadow clones and the like.

"Since the enemy is indifferent, then continue to advance according to the plan."

Sanshoyu Hanzo ordered.

"Yes!"

The Staff Ninja immediately took the order and left.

Sanshoyu Hanzo intends to completely raze the castle from the ground and the periphery layer by layer in a way that peels off the cocoon.

The specific implementation method is to blast off the overburden by arranging detonators on the ground, and then carry out torpedo attacks by submarines under the sea to achieve the purpose of breaking the fortress wall and pouring seawater into the city.

At the same time, in order to prevent those navies who have not eaten Devil Fruits, so they are not afraid of the sea, will cause unnecessary damage to their own side, and after the walls of the fortress are broken, they will launch a Tailed Beast Jade into the interior of the Advance City at close range to smash all possible ambushes.

"The Water Ghost Force is ready to go!"

It didn't take long for the shadow clone troops, who were setting up the detonator on the beachhead, to signal that the blasting preparations were complete, and Sanshoyu Hanzo immediately ordered: "Start blasting in three minutes!" ”

Just after the water ghost troops entered the established sea area, the shadow clones advancing to the beachhead on the ground of the city immediately launched and detonated in a delayed manner, and turned into green smoke one after another.

Hannibal, the deputy governor of Advance City, who was observing in the dark, was a little confused, so he prepared to assign a few unlucky pawns to see what was going on.

But before the unlucky ghosts could walk out of the underground fortifications, a deafening explosion rang out!

"Boom!"

First, the overburden was completely lifted by the blast, and then three torpedoes bombarded the fortress wall!

Startled by the loud noise and the earthquake, Hannibal found the navy in disarray.

"The wall on the basement floor has been blasted!"

"What!"

Hannibal was taken aback: "Quick! Hurry up and turn on the water trap! ”

As a fortress island where the world government imprisons felons, Advance City is naturally not a simple cylindrical building, as early as the beginning of construction, the problem of wall destruction was considered, so there are extremely complex labyrinths and blocking mechanisms inside; However, these arrangements were made to prevent the prisoners inside from sabotage, and did not take into account the action of external forces.

After all, no one expected that there would be an enemy who would be able to break through the fortress of the advancing city from the open sea densely populated with sea kings!

However, as soon as the soldiers of the advancing city jumped out of the fortifications in a panic and were about to open the mechanism, they saw a huge ball of light shoot through the gap in the fortress wall, andβ€”

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, there was no more in the world of the pawns.

After another loud bang, the wall of the basement floor was shattered by the tailed beast jade that exploded from the inside, and in an instant, with the inflow of seawater, the navy and soldiers who were originally deployed on this floor were washed away by the surging sea water, even if they were not killed.

"Evacuate to the second basement floor!"

Hannibal was in a state of despair, but had no choice but to take the remnants of the navy and his pawns with him for a tactical shift.

But in the process of transferring, Hannibal saw the countless corpses of prisoners accumulated in the passages from the first to the second basement.

"It's ......"

Even the ruthless Hannibal was terrified.

Although the crimes of the prisoners held in the 'Red Lotus Hell' on the basement floor are not very serious, and their strength is particularly average, it is also because of this, this floor is also the first floor with the largest number of prisoners.

And, in Hannibal's opinion, the prisoners died without accident under the poison gas of the director Magellan!

"It seems that the world government has acquiesced in the destruction of the city......"

At this moment, Hannibal immediately understood.

Why was Kuzan, the general stationed there, taken away, why didn't the city get reinforcements again, why did Magellan recover all the phone bugs from everyone, and why did he never show his face as the director of the army during the ground battle......

"Let's go......"

After taking a deep breath, the residual poisonous gas in the air made Hannibal a little dizzy, but he still resisted the discomfort in his heart, and was the first to step over the corpse mountain and go to the second basement floor.

……

"The water ghost force reports that the ground and underground floors have been fully controlled!"

It didn't take long for Sanshoyu Hanzo to receive a battle report from the staff ninja: "A waterproof metal wall was found on the second basement floor, so apply for further demolition!" ”

"Demolition permitted!"

Sanshoyu Hanzo nodded calmly, and at the same time helped the sickle on his side.

Advancing the siege of the city, it's time to put an end to it...... (End of chapter)
