Chapter 240: Chaotic Naval Battle
Dressrosa, offshore.
Warships of various sizes were scattered all over the sea.
This is a rare scenario.
After all, Dressrosa is a member of the World Government and also has a certain amount of King's Army.
Although it is not as large as a superpower like Alabastan, it is definitely more than enough to protect peace within its territorial waters.
But since King Riku gave that speech, everything has changed.
The king's army retreated to the island, only responsible for the security of the island, and completely ignored the coastal waters!
As a result, there is a complete mess around Dressrosa!
……
Boom!
Boom! Rumble! Rumble!
Bang! Da Da Da ......
Rumble!
Artillery fire, gunfire, ramming, swearing, roaring......
All kinds of sounds are mixed together, and they become the main tone on the sea.
Large and small warships, of different sizes, and even their belongings are so chaotic that it is impossible to see the origin at all.
Pirates, caravans, adventurers, and even armies of other small nations......
They are scattered on the surface of the sea, fleeing, defending, attacking, or simply enjoying the chaos!
Occasionally, ships were damaged and forced to withdraw from the battle.
If you're lucky, you'll be able to barely make it to the port of Dressrosa;
If you are unlucky, the warship will sink directly, and everyone will jump into the sea together, asking for more blessings!
In short –
How messy it is!
And in the midst of this chaos, a somewhat dilapidated looking sailing ship is spreading its sails and heading at full speed for the port of Dressrosa!
……
"Naval warfare? Do you think I look like a naval battle? ”
Ignoring Evan Lindsay, Klockdahl let the gravel roll up the storm and blow the sails with a wave of his hand.
He had already seen the current situation!
I don't know if it was Doflamingo's instructions, or simply human nature, at this time, the coastal waters of Dressrosa have completely become a "chaotic area"!
Without the constraints of the member states or the navy, everyone became indulgent.
The pirates began to loot and prepare more capital for the auction;
The caravan drove at full speed, trying to break through the chaotic offshore and make a fortune on the island of Dressrosa;
Careerists take the initiative to provoke fights, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate their opponents;
There are also armies of other small countries, adventurers from afar......
All this, but a strange "harmonious agreement" has been formed.
That is - chaos is confined to the surface of the sea, and once inside the territory of Dressrosa, it is no longer possible to pursue or fight!
"Don't reveal your identity, maintain the original plan, and never turn into a situation where the enemy is in the dark!"
Klockdahl flicked his rudder to the right, avoiding an oncoming pirate ship while continuing on.
However, when he turned his head to look at the flanks, he saw that two more pirate ships were eyeing them.
"Look for death!"
Klockdahl scolded angrily, but was helpless.
After all, most of the ships that are bent on heading towards the island belong to caravans, and they are the best kind to bully.
The pirates clearly saw them as targets!
Whoa-whoa-whoa......
Several shells struck, and they were about to hit the hull.
For the people on this ship, this is certainly not "dangerous".
Not only Lindsay can fly, but even Klockdal and Uta also have the ability to stay in the air for a short time.
But no matter how small the mosquito is, it will eventually make people feel annoying.
"Hey!"
Klockdahl was very helpless, so he could only instruct: "Primitive people, don't make too much trouble!" ”
"Aha!"
On the side, Lindsay has been waiting for a long time.
He had anticipated this situation for a long time, so he brought the shells in the cabin in advance.
One in one hand, throw it with your bare hands using only your wrist strength!
Ode! Ode!
Two shells pierced the air, collided with the incoming shells, and then exploded.
Phew-
Another one, through the surrounding explosions, was about to hit the deck.
Klockdahl decisively stretched out his five fingers and grabbed the shell with his bare hands.
Sasha Fruit: Little Shalan!
The cannonball was "held" by a faint sandstorm, and then Klockdahl flicked it back to the nearby pirate ship with a flick of his hand.
Rumble!
The cannonball exploded, and the pirate ship burst into flames and was forced to leave the battle.
But one pirate ship retreated, and several more came to besiege it, all trying to join in the fun!
"Bring the biggest cannon!"
A pirate captain gave an order, and the specially made oversized cannon barrel was lifted out and aimed at Lindsay and the others.
"Fire!"
Bang! Phew-
The huge cannonball hits you head-on, but it's not Lindsay or Klockdahl, it's Uta!
Uta stood in the path of the cannonball, spitting out several notes.
The notes spread out in unison, turning into a heavy knight's armor, which Uta wore on his body.
Holding a shield, he slammed into the shell with a force.
Rumble!
The cannonball shattered at the same time as the shield, revealing Uta's smiling face.
"Sister Robin, it's fireworks!"
Uta's pupils spread out, turning into a spiral texture in a spin.
In the state of battle, she is filled with an indescribable frenzy, and the beat around her beats like a heart!
"The rhythm is going to heat up!"
……
Firework.
Yes, fireworks.
After all, it's a huge auction, so how can there be no fireworks?
In the harbor of Dressrosa, there are two fishermen, who are smoking in boredom.
Since the news of the auction broke, they have not been able to go out to sea safely to fish, so they have to sit here every day.
"Hey, why the hell did you say King Riku was holding an auction?"
"To boost the economy, right? I just didn't expect it to be such a mess......"
"Really, to boost the economy?"
"Hopefully no one gets hurt by this."
“……”
The two of you said a word to me, and sighed about the recent things.
After three rounds of drinking, the words of the two were also messed up.
"If it weren't for King Liku himself, I really suspect that someone coerced him."
"It's okay, the pirates don't dare to make trouble on the island."
"Having said that, although there are no fireworks to celebrate, the sound of these artillery fires is really lively!"
"Haha, that's true!"
"Hmmm......"
"What's wrong?"
"Look over there, it seems that there are really fireworks!"
"What?"
The two looked up, and sure enough, not far away, a "fireworks meteor" broke through the sky!
It takes off from a burning ship, drags its long tail, and makes a beeline for the port of Dressrosa!
Ode –
Rumble!
The fireworks fell to the ground and exploded into countless notes.
And in the middle of the notes, there is a figure, a man with a horizontal scar on his face.
His movements are even more eccentric.
On the hook in the left hand, a little girl is carried;
The right hand grabbed a man's neck;
Around her neck, there was another little girl, who was shouting for pleasure;
"I'm annoyed!"
The scarred man cursed, then rolled up a sandstorm and disappeared without a trace.
“……”
This scene stunned the two fishermen, and finally thought that they were too drunk.
Go on!
……
In order to sneak in in a low-key manner, Klockdahl eventually allowed the ship to be blown up.
He deadlifted the remaining three and rushed to the Dressrosa docks, then dodged away, hiding as much of their tracks as possible.
Soon, everyone changed their clothes, re-disguised, and finally managed to infiltrate Dressrosa!
Compared to the chaos in the coastal waters, there is no strife within Dressrosa, but rather a lively one.
All kinds of merchants are shouting and selling, but the pirates have no intention of causing trouble.
This is the established rule, no matter how arrogant the pirates are, they dare not break it easily.
The four of them looked around, intending to find a tavern and get some information.
At this moment, a "robot" suddenly walked up and beckoned to the four people in a daze.
"Four, do you need a gold card?"
"Gold?"
Robin wondered, "What's that?" ”
"It's a card that stores a large amount of Berry, and it can be used in Dressrosa, so you don't need to run around with a lot of cash!"
The robot enthusiastically introduces it, but at the same time arouses Uta's interest.
"You're wearing a doll costume?"
"Doll costumes? No, no, I'm a toy! ”
The robot's head spun around, jumped to the ground, and said happily:
"I'm a helper toy that King Liku bought from the distant sea for this auction!"
