Chapter 404: War Messenger! The Red Clown is coming!
June 30.
This is the new World War Victory Day that the world government had originally scheduled, but at least for now, it seems that this goal is still far away.
The G-1 Branch, which looks like a solid bunker, stands on a relatively calm sea.
Behind it, the towering towers curve like seagull wings.
The two big characters "Navy" on the wall were erased and temporarily replaced with the four big characters "World Government".
The Red Harbor was separated from the G-1 branch by a straight bridge, and under the bridge was a semicircular arch for the passage of sea and ships.
Coalition warships cruised in the nearby waters, flying the unified "cross" world government flag on their masts, fluttering in the wind.
Admiral Berry Good stood on the bow of the warship, looking through a telescope at the sea in the distance.
He could see some warning yellow buoys, which meant that the area was full of mines used to defend against sea kings, sea beasts, and submarines.
He also saw that the ships of the allied countries did not have a uniform style and sailed much slower than warships, so that they were far more damaged in the war than warships.
However, on this morning, there were no ships of the Deep Sea Empire or the Red-Haired Pirate Alliance, and Berry Good couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and put the binoculars down.
In the past month, he has lost the naval battle, and he has lost a little doubt about his life.
The Red-Haired Pirates Alliance is okay, it's still the same old-fashioned sea surface tactics.
However, the Deep Sea Empire is completely new, and it is very good at attacking from the bottom of the sea.
And the warships of the Navy are quite weak precisely in this regard.
Vegapunk's Sea Beast Corps once gave them hope.
But the giant sea kings, which are larger than the sea beast soldiers, directly shredded their dreams.
Berry Good was already afraid of losing, and having not won a battle since the beginning of the month, he was almost unsure of how the naval battle should be fought.
Now, the world government and the top brass of the navy have reacted, and the Deep Sea Empire is one level ahead of their tactical concepts.
But no matter how much you can remedy it now, you have to wait until a new underwater weapon appears.
Now, they can only throw cheap mines into the sea, hoping to stop the beasts.
However, Baerygood found that the morale of the army, which had recently hit rock bottom, seemed to be picking up again.
The reason is probably that on June 26, the two lords of Satan Saint and Maz Saint came to the G-1 branch, took over the supreme command of the "steel bone" air, and personally sat in charge, right?
For the Navy Headquarters, this is already the second time that there has been a change of commander.
First Sora, which replaced Sengoku, and then the two adults replaced Sora.
The fact that the "Five Old Stars" came two of them at a time shows the importance they attach to the war in the new world, and they believe that the future war situation will inevitably undergo significant changes.
At least, in the days from the 26th to the 30th, the Deep Sea Empire rarely launched another attack.
However, the red-haired pirate alliance is still pressing forward step by step.
Does this mean that the two adults have formed a strong deterrent to the Deep Sea Empire, so that the enemy does not dare to act rashly?
If that's the case, that's great, and I don't want to run away anymore. Baerygood thought to himself.
However, the shortage of military salaries, which he and his subordinates were most concerned about, was not solved by the arrival of the two big men.
On the contrary, they are being deducted even more.
The salary is only a month, but the support is different.
There should be no shortage of food, drinking water, ammunition, medical supplies, etc., otherwise the war will be even more unbearable.
Why the shortage, he probably knew in his heart, but he was a little unacceptable.
One of the reasons why he came to be a navy was not to avoid being exploited by the Celestial Dragons?
If he still wants to be squeezed, then wouldn't he, the colonel of the Navy headquarters, be in vain?
The two "five old stars", aren't they here for nothing?
It would be a misnomy to say that the arrival of the two big men has not changed at all except for morale.
They were obviously not used to living in, and could not possibly be living in the G-1 branch with the stinking Combine soldiers all day.
As a result, the bigwigs moved into luxurious mansions in Red Harbor, and the Combine headquarters moved nearby.
The G-1 branch became a bridgehead reaching out to the open sea.
Berrygood touched his head, which was round like a black bowling ball, and couldn't figure out what the higher-ups were thinking, and even more doubtful after hearing some rumors.
Every day, Combine personnel travel up and down the Red Earth Continent via a bubble lift, walking back and forth between the Holy Land of Mary Joy and the Red Harbor.
Therefore, they knew best what kind of drunkenness Mary Joy was in in the Holy Land, as if the war did not exist.
What's even more ridiculous is that they heard that the Celestial Dragons have set up a bet with each other, betting on who will be the next big man who will die in battle.
The name of the enemy is just in the game.
The names of Sora, Sengoku, Polusalino, Gion, Karp, Mihawk, Anilu, Green Pepper, and others are among them.
And the Tianlong people didn't mean to hide it from the front-line marshals, generals, and soldiers at all.
The adults of the "Five Old Stars" also turned a blind eye.
This farce became known to everyone.
No matter how supreme the status of the Tianlong people is, it is too much to achieve such a level of absurdity and immorality.
Berrygood's heart was gloomy as if he had fallen into a disgusting swamp.
He was about to turn around and go back to the cabin to rest, when he suddenly heard a strange noise.
"Puff puff"!
He hurriedly grabbed his hands to the side of the boat, leaned out half of his body, nervously raised the telescope again, and sure enough, he saw the splash of water rising into the sky.
The sound just now was the dull sound of a mine exploding under the surface of the sea, and it sounded like a "poof" sound made by boiling water in a black pot with the lid on.
Then, there were more "poof" sounds.
Berry Good, too, observed more splashes and turned pale.
The nightmarish undersea forces of the Deep Sea Empire are here again!
It's only been a few days, why is it coming again? Aren't they afraid of the "Five Old Stars"?
Wait, something is wrong, these mines explode along both sides in a regular manner, starting from the middle.
It doesn't look like it's touching a sea king, a sea beast, or a submarine......
It's more like it was artificially detonated!
"Hell!" Berry Good quickly understood, and shouted, "All soldiers obey the order, enemy attack, enemy attack, report the enemy situation on the whole channel of the Combine Army!" ”
The soldiers on the deck were stunned for a moment before they came back to their senses and ran in a panic.
Some raised their weapons and stood on guard with trepidation, while others ran into the cabin to inform more people.
It's just that it seems too late, and there is a crackling sound from the bottom of the boat.
Many round red balls floated out of the sea and stuck around the bottom of the ship, and if you looked closely, you could see the mark of "clown".
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
A series of explosions rang out in all directions.
Berrygood's warship flew up in shock, and when it fell to the surface again, it was like an open can, and the sea water poured into the bottom of the blown up ship in a frenzy.
The sailors screamed in horror and panicked.
Some even rushed directly into the fire of the cabin, and others jumped into the sea without saying a word.
The warship continued to sink, and Baerich clung to the side of the ship, his face pale, knowing that another defeat was assured.
He had to flee again, as had been the result of every naval battle since this month.
"Abandon ship!" Berry Goode shouted, whether the soldiers could hear it or not, "Abandon ship!" ”
As a "Doudou Fruit Ability", he first divided into small balls and flew into the sky.
When it was safe to do so, Baerichold looked around and realized that there were many warships in the same situation as him, all of whom had been attacked by the red balls.
The mines were probably detonated in advance by these small red balls.
To be honest, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Since everyone is defeated because of this, he will have something to say in the future even if he faces high-level inquiries.
The law does not blame the public.
At this moment, there was a loud burst of laughter, causing Berrygood to turn around with a chill in his back.
The first thing he saw was a round nose, so much so that he immediately thought that those red ball bombs in the sea actually flew into the air.
Only then did he notice the face behind the round nose.
"I'm still thinking, who can dodge Uncle Ben's 'Automatic Enemy Seeking Clown Bomb', it turns out to be my subordinate fruit ability, then it's no wonder. In this way, on the positive and negative sides, Uncle Ben won twice. ”
The long blue hair, the white skull on the forehead with a tattoo of bones, a red nose and red lips, and a lively, vicious clown make-up......
It can't be wrong, it's definitely the infamous ......
"Thousand and two" Bucky!
Now the bounty is 2,045,000,000 Bailey horrors!
As soon as Berry Good recognized the other party, the many small balls that split collectively turned and flew in opposite directions.
I'm no match for him!
