Chapter 263 Porusalino: Guerrilla Warfare and Sneak Attacks!
As we all know, in the world before Porusalino traveled through, the European popes were envious of the neon emperor, because in neon, enthusiastic little boys would fall from the sky.
…
The main ingredient is the explosive "Power Rock" that is comparable to the power of ancient weapons (the "Flying Pirate" Golden Lion once stole it), and the ultimate bomb code-named "Little Boy" was dropped by Bruno.
A huge sun-like fireball immediately rose into the sky from Coco Island...
Subsequently, the fireball connected with the dust pillars raised from the ground, forming a dazzling and spectacular mushroom cloud...
The naval fleet, which was about forty nautical miles away from Coco Island, also witnessed this scene clearly, and not long after the mushroom cloud rose, it directly felt the impact of being weakened countless times...
Hundreds of millions of tons of seawater were directly evaporated by the high temperature, and Coco Island, known as "the only designated iron wall fortress outside the world", was completely wiped out...
…
The detonation of the ultimate bomb "Little Boy" injected another shot of stimulant into the already high morale of the naval fleet - in just half a day, the wolf-like sailors rushed straight into the hinterland of all nations, lightning They captured several islands known as the "First Defense Zone" including Flavor Island, Cream Island, and Liqueur Island.
But the attack ended here - under the arrangement of the wise Katakuri, the Charlotte family did not engage in meaningless entanglements with the navy and decisively abandoned all captured areas. And most of the main forces were mobilized and contracted in the so-called "second defense zone", forming a stalemate with the large fleet in the most conservative posture.
——Unlike the territories of other Yonko Pirates, the Totland Sea area ruled by the Charlotte family has 34 islands regularly distributed in the form of "concentric circles". The closer to the inside where Cake Island is, the denser the islands are distributed, and the easier it is for them to form an effective coordinated defense.
In other words, no matter which island the navy chooses to attack, the pirate fleets stationed on the other islands can provide support as quickly as possible. If the navy is not careful, it will fall into the relative disadvantage of being besieged by multiple parties and changing from active to passive.
Of course, the large navy fleet with abundant troops can indeed choose to fully attack the "second defense zone", but as a party that actively launches attacks and is also a "remote away battle", such a choice is undoubtedly a huge risk. The risk - the Navy has no reason or need to take such a huge gamble.
At this critical moment, the "ghost ship" The Flying Dutchman, the flagship of the Grand Fleet, was on the tattered deck.
Lieutenant General "Flying Squirrel", one of the five first-level commanders of the Grand Fleet, carefully studied the dynamic chart in front of him and said in deep thought:
"Since the order issued by the headquarters is to only deal with the regular troops of the BIGMOM Pirates, then we can send a small fleet to test the attack first. We have absolute advantages in firepower and flexibility. In the face of this, we can only stick to the defense. It can be said that there is no risk to the enemy... At the same time, probing attacks is the bottom line, and once there is a good fighter opportunity, let the third-level commanders act independently according to the 'wolf pack tactics'... What do you think?"
"I agree."
Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan, who is also a first-level commander, flicked his cigar ashes and nodded in approval.
"There's nothing wrong with Brother Flying Squirrel!"
Although he is also a first-level commander, Lieutenant General Mozambique, who has a relatively low voice, nodded repeatedly.
"Second!" X2
The last two first-level commanders, Lieutenant General Jonathan and Lieutenant General Gumir, looked at each other and said in unison.
Seeing that all five first-level commanders, including himself, had finished expressing their opinions, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel immediately looked at the final decision-maker, Commander-in-Chief Kuzan of the Grand Fleet - the latter scratched his head blankly and wiped the mark on his forehead. The sleep mask was pushed up again:
"What are you looking at me for?"
"..."
…
Although the commander-in-chief is lazy and unreliable, the strict command system of the Grand Fleet still ensures that the plans of Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel and others can be well executed——
"Report! Our ship has entered the best bombardment position and can conduct bombardment at any time!"
After years of training, Bellemeier, who had completely transformed from an ordinary sailor in the East China Sea into an elite sailor capable of handling the intensity of combat in the new world, loudly reported to Rear Admiral Gion, the captain of his ship No. 013.
According to the number and location, the first-level commanders dispatched three warships to conduct so-called test attacks.
In the face of the mobilization of naval warships, even if it is only a few ships with unknown purposes, the BIGMOM Pirates will not remain indifferent - their coastal defense guns fire non-stop, causing the surroundings of these mobilized warships to continuously explode due to shells. The huge water column produced.
This is the time when the quality of soldiers is most tested in traditional naval battles - the explosion of a nearby artillery shell did not cause effective damage, but the deafening sound and the violent shaking of the ship were enough to scare ordinary soldiers. Guts, attack and defense movement deformations.
However, this is the Navy's Burning Fleet, and all the sailors who can appear on this battlefield are elites!
They have already entered their respective combat positions, either tightening the sails quickly, measuring distances in an orderly manner, counting damage control tools again, or conducting artillery inspections over and over again... In short, they are doing it all. Ready and waiting for the commander's order.
Gion's gaze retracted from a distance and fell on her ship. She took a deep breath and drew out the famous sword "Kinpira" from her waist that symbolized the patron saint of the sea:
"The bombardment begins!"
"Fire!!"
"Fire!!"
The same sound came from the other two warships, and the order to fire reached the ears of all the sailors dispatched almost simultaneously.
"boom!"
Then, the first heavy cannon began to roar, lit the fuse, and detonated the gunpowder! The powerful impact blasted away the projectiles, tore the air apart, and drew a beautiful trajectory in the air with a sharp explosion, like the messenger of death!
"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!"
The cannons shook the sky.
Just in the blink of an eye, a large number of artillery shells were blasted towards the Charlotte family's defense area in the distance.
"Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder!!"
Sensing the movement of navy warships, Katakuri shouted loudly on the cadre warship that arrived on the frontal battlefield immediately. The whistling shells were like a dark cloud weighing on his heart. Even a strong man like him felt a little depressed when facing such a situation.
The big ship began to swerve, trying its best to avoid this wave of shells.
But the movement of the ship was still a bit slow after all. Hundreds of artillery fired at the same time, and the firepower network formed was definitely not something that a large cadre warship could easily avoid.
"Don't even think about it!"
Katakuri simply judged the situation and stamped his feet without hesitation - the hull suddenly melted and turned into white rice cakes rising into the sky, wrapped and rolled up into the shape of a shield, and then covered with armed domineering.
It's similar to Crocodile's absolute defense "sand wall", but it's stronger than the "sand wall"!
"Boom boom boom boom boom!!"
The shelling hit the rice cake defense cover one after another, and explosions occurred one after another, but no matter what kind of explosion, they could not shake the defense cover at all.
"Avoid this ship and attack other targets directly!"
Gion gave the order again.
"Boom boom boom boom boom!!"
The artillery bombardment continued.
…
Cake Island.
As the name suggests, there are majestic buildings on the island that look like cakes.
The largest cake castle located in the center of the island is Charlotte Lingling's base camp building.
On the throne in the castle, Charlotte Lingling, who was using a phone bug to check the movements on the front line, had extremely terrifying eyes, looking like a ferocious beast ready to eat people at any time.
The islands that the navy destroyed and attacked were not only the face she valued most, but also an important source of her favorite desserts - her current anger could not be completely quelled even if the entire fleet was sunk to the bottom of the sea.
"Bring me the 'mirror'."
After a while, Charlotte Lingling said with a gloomy expression.
Through the mirror world created by Bree, the mirror fruit ability user, she can travel between the front line and the Cake Island base camp as quickly as possible.
Seeing his mother actively asking for a mirror, Perospero, who was still following her, breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he came back to his senses, his back was already wet with sweat.
Although he also agrees with his younger brother Katakuri's judgment that the Navy has another general ready to take action at any time, the battle on the front line is tight, and Kuzan and the Navy fleet are putting too much pressure on them. If Charlotte Lingling If they don't take action, they will have no choice but to fight and retreat, and in the end they will have no way to retreat...
"Move quickly!"
Perospero glanced at the nearest servant and urged him.
The servant was excited, and at the fastest speed in his life, he moved a mirror as tall as one person in front of Charlotte Lingling.
"Bree."
Without Charlotte Lingling's instructions, Perospero called Bree's name in the mirror.
Under the power of the Mirror Fruit, the mirror and the mirror world can not only communicate with each other, but also transmit sounds. As long as there is a mirror where the sound is heard, Bree, who is in the mirror world, can receive the sound.
"Brother Perospero, I'm here."
A second or two later, Bree's voice came from the mirror.
Perospero first glanced at Charlotte Lingling, who was silent, and then said in a deep voice to the mirror:
"Prepare the mirror Mom will use and arrange for the Queen Mother Anthem to be dispatched. She is about to enter the battlefield to end the battle!"
…
"No, if this continues-"
Raising his hands to maintain defense, Katakuri turned his head and looked behind him - although he was extremely powerful, in the face of the overwhelming bombardment of warships, he could only protect the big ship under his feet. The warships around him and the Wheat Island behind him were all severely damaged by the navy, and almost all of them were plowed by cannonballs.
"You take over my defense,"
Katakuri's eyes were gloomy, "Clark!"
"What? Brother!"
Katakuri breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's time to let them be quiet."
"……clear!"
Cracker didn't say anything, and all the brothers and sisters of the Charlotte family unconditionally trusted their brother named Katakuri.
"Tough cookie!"
Cracker, who was better at defense, was even more exaggerated than Katakuri. He made a huge shield directly out of biscuits, protecting a large area in one go.
"I'm on it!"
After Katakuri left such words, his body was ejected, crushing the side of the ship, and then he rose into the sky and flew towards the cannonballs in the sky.
A dense rain of cannonballs came towards him, but they could not touch Katakuri at all. His body suddenly melted into a cake, breaking several large holes and every cannonball just missed it.
"clatter!"
Although Moon Walk is a superhuman martial skill within the World Government, it is not difficult for the strong men of the New World to practice, so this skill is no longer exclusive to the World Government.
Katakuri was obviously very familiar with this technique. He kept stepping on the cannonballs and moved forward in a blink of an eye. In an instant, he was close to the No. 013 ship where Gion was located.
“Give me—Quiet!!”
In the sky, Katakuri roared.
"Buzz!!"
The invisible momentum was like the wind causing waves on the sea - the flying cannonballs even stopped briefly!
"Alas, you are so powerful and domineering~"
Theoretically, it should still be on the flagship in the center of the fleet, but Admiral Kuzan had a strange encounter with Katakuri!
…
"I'm telling you, Sakaski, I know this place very well!"
Not long after Charlotte Lingling left Cake Island, Porusalino and Sakaski, who were sent over by Bruno, stood on the top of Cake Castle together in admiral uniforms.
Porusalino put his hands in his pockets very pretentiously, then raised his head slightly and looked at the huge candle inserted on the top of the cake. The firelight swaying in the wind was reflected in his sunglasses.
"Thinking back to those days..."
"Don't think about the past, take action!"
The angry Sakaski just kicked the ball, but Porusalino nimbly dodged it.
The latter's X-Sight Eyes and Observation Color Haki were activated at the same time, and his mind was lost in thought.
He and Sakaski's target BIGMOM himself seems to have left Cake Island, but there are still many valuable targets staying on Cake Island.
According to the information fed back by the high-level Haki, there were at least two guys from the past in the cake castle at the feet of him and Sakaski.
"Thieves don't fail even when they go out, let alone us~"
After Porusalino thought for a few seconds, he made a decision.
He slowly squatted down and placed his right palm on the ground.
"Oliha Gang's barrier!"
The frivolous but domineering voice echoed through the night.
A creepy aura emerged from Porusalino's palm, and along with a faint blue halo, it quickly spread to the surroundings.
Wherever the halo touched, objects began to decay rapidly, as if countless years had passed.
Crunchy——
In less than a second or two, the entire top floor of Cake Island Castle seemed to have been buried underground for hundreds of thousands of years and then decayed.
The surging "Oliha Gang breath" continues unabated, like a net covering the entire Cake Island Castle from top to bottom.
With this trend, it may take less than ten seconds to turn the entire Cake Island Castle into a decaying ancient tomb.
The sudden situation shocked the members of the BIG.MOM pirates who were staying in the Cake Island Castle, as well as the soldiers around Cake Island.
"Enemy attack!!!"
The loud voice of someone unknown sent the roaring sound to all around.
Inside the Cake Island Castle, the Collection Library.
In the huge library, there are many biscuit warriors who use their abilities to create Star Crackers.
In the center, there are several sofas.
Snag, the general with a bounty of 600 million, was sitting on one of the sofas. Behind the sofa stood Mondor, the book-wielding user holding a book.
After hearing the warning sound coming from outside, Snag, who was assigned the task of guarding, almost immediately looked at the ceiling of the collection library, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Mondor, on the other hand, subconsciously looked at a closed steel door in the museum.
This library not only stores the rare and exotic animals that Charlotte Lingling has spent decades collecting, but also houses several extremely important historical texts in the treasure room behind the steel gate.
If not, how could she have appointed a general and a minister to stay here before facing the enemy.
"There are only two people..."
ps: This chapter of 4.5k was originally supposed to be updated today to make up for yesterday’s additions, but the editor suddenly contacted me about the situation. Before revising the article, there were many review problems. . . . .
