Chapter 158 Meteor Volcano

"Commander, all members of the Oulu Pirates have been arrested, but... when we found them, all members had been subdued." The officer reported the latest battle situation... Instead of saying In fact, no fighting broke out at all.

They are the fleet of the G2 branch.

After receiving an emergency call from this village, saying that they were being targeted by the notorious Oulu Pirates, Lieutenant General Gumir made a prompt decision and rushed over as quickly as possible, and then waited until he found the incident and the phone call. The distress message on the bug is different.

This is also a common thing,

It is normal for the people who have been tortured by the great pirate era to be in a state of panic. The navies in various places have received false news more than once.

However, the situation this time was different from the usual fake news. Although the village did not look like it had been attacked, for the sake of safety, troops were sent ashore for inspection, and then they saw the tied man on the edge of the woods at the entrance of the village. solid pirates.

He is indeed a member of the Oulu Pirates.

The captain "Bloody Hand" Oulu, who had a bounty of 37.22 million, was also tied up. The navy effortlessly took down such a group of despicable pirates who only bullied ordinary civilians and were rich in blood debt.

"In other words, this is fake news?"

Lieutenant General Gumir stood on the beach and looked at the village not far away. Under the moonlight, the village was quiet and peaceful, with no sign of pirate invasion at all.

"It should be a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. The person behind it...perhaps wants to harm General Sakaski."

The officer hesitated for a moment, then expressed his suspicion.

He is the secretary of Lieutenant General Gumir, and all the confidential information of the G2 branch cannot be hidden from him. Why did he leave the base in a hurry this time and wander around the sea around Alabasta... He knows the reason. Ming, so after something like this happened, the two things were immediately connected.

"I understand even if you don't tell me. The false news led me here and left us all these trophies..." Lieutenant General Gumil watched the sailors escorting the pirates onto the ship and paused. After a pause, he then said slowly: "Such an acting style is definitely not that of the beasts. If we exclude the beasts... there will only be the revolutionary army!"

He sighed softly.

The Revolutionary Army... The navy and the Revolutionary Army have not dealt with each other once or twice in the past two years. Lieutenant General Gumir has always been concerned about the movements of the Revolutionary Army. It is not that he has any trouble with the Revolutionary Army, but he has been I am very optimistic about the leader of the revolutionary army.

Yes, before Monkey D. Long left the Navy, he was also a super star with unlimited fame, not inferior to the three generals today.

There is even the blessing of Garp, the father of a naval hero. He has a large number of supporters in the navy. Many people firmly believe that he is the definite candidate for marshal after the Warring States Period, and Lieutenant General Gumir happens to be one of them.

Unfortunately, contrary to expectations, Long left the navy and chose an evil path that many people thought was so rebellious.

So much so that what was once a hot supernova has become a taboo word within the Navy.

"commander······"

"Let's go! Since it is false news, it means that there may be a problem with General Sakaski. Get there as soon as possible! I hope..." The last words were suppressed to the extreme, and even the secretary standing next to him couldn't. I didn't hear clearly what Lieutenant General Gumil said at the end.

hope?

Hope you can get there as soon as possible? I still hope that the revolutionary army can evacuate as soon as possible...

The secretary shook his head slightly, shaking off the bold idea from his mind.

Lieutenant General Gumir is not that kind of person!

————

It was late at night.

Dark clouds unknowingly came from afar, covering the moon and stars, plunging the night into pitch-black darkness. The lights on the navy fleet became the only thing in this dark environment like an ink ball. bright light.

"Damn weather."

"The storm is coming!"

The officers are sitting on the bridge. They are different from the sailors who need to be on duty below. When there is no errand, a few of them can get together to drink tea and chat to pass the boring time of sailing at sea. I lack sleep tonight. Several people gathered in the bridge.

Of course, this is not a flagship, and no one dares to relax in front of General Sakaski.

"This kind of weather is the most likely to cause accidents." Someone present joked.

"Hey, Holo, stop talking nonsense."

"Ah! No way! Toca, do you really think there will be some blind guy who dares to come to you? General Sakaski is sitting on the flagship!"

The officer called "Toca" frowned and looked out the window, "Don't you think it's strange in such weather?"

"Huh? Isn't this strange? Isn't the weather on the Grand Route like this? One second it's clear and the sky is clear, the next second it's pouring... I said, Toca, if you haven't slept well If so, just go lie down and sleep for a while.”

The other people also looked at Toca with strange eyes.

The unpredictable weather of the Grand Line is a well-known fact. Except for the top group of navigators who rely on their talents, basically no one can predict the climate changes of the Grand Line. Not all of the people here are from the Grand Line, but they have already I am used to such severe weather changes.

"not me······"

Toca frowned. He looked at the extremely dense darkness outside the window. The hidden uneasiness in his heart never went away. He always felt like a light on his back, making him restless all the time... ·However, apart from this untrustworthy intuition, he has no evidence that there is a problem with weather changes.

At this time,

"Hulala--"

The violent sound of wind came from outside and reached everyone's ears. The battleship that was moving forward suddenly shook violently. Unexpectedly, all the empty cups placed in the box on the coffee table clattered to the floor. .

"Ah! I was careless."

Holo bent down and reached out, using lightning speed to pick up all the cups that had not rolled away and put them back into the box.

The shaking happened so suddenly that everyone's attention couldn't help but focus on Toca. Everyone's reaction was a little slow. They only had time to catch the teapot and everyone's cups, but those empty cups were thrown away. .

"It's such a big storm. It looks like things will be difficult tonight."

"Oh! What a bad luck. I didn't even finish the pot of tea."

"Okay, drink less. I won't have time for you to go to the toilet when I get busy."

The officers sighed one after another. Once the storm came, they could no longer sit on the bridge and drink tea and chat. In order to resist the storm, they would probably have to take off again. Fighting such a powerful storm would require them to go above and beyond. of human skill.

The wind was blowing harder and harder.

The seagull flag trembled in the wind, and the violent sound made people wonder whether it would be torn apart at the next moment.

A silver-white long snake flashed between the dark clouds, and the sky and the sea were all white in an instant. The next second there was a huge roar as if the sky was about to split, as if the God of Thunder was standing in everyone's ears and making a powerful roar. There was a roar that shook the sea and the sky.

Colonel Toca, who was still feeling uneasy, climbed up to the observation deck high on the mast. He grabbed the telescope from the observer and looked at the sea areas in all directions of the fleet. Then, with the light brought by the intermittent lightning, he saw all around him. One lap.

Nothing was found.

Wherever he could see with the help of the telescope, he did not see even a single ship. Under the dark clouds, there seemed to be no other ships except their fleet.

"Am I overthinking it?"

Remembering the words of comfort from his friends, Colonel Toca became confused.

However, at this moment——

"boom!!!"

There was an explosion.

Colonel Tokar shuddered suddenly. An explosion? He almost didn't react due to the deafening thunder. Looking in the direction of the explosion, he saw flames and thick smoke. The explosion was not a flagship, but a frigate.

Looking at the position where the flames burned, it was definitely not a sudden fire in the ammunition depot, that position... was a torpedo.

It suddenly dawned on him, and the fog in his heart cleared.

There was indeed no trace of any ship on the water, but underwater... His eyes could not see the dark water, and he forgot that there might be a submarine underwater... This cannot be blamed for his slow reaction. , but the navy has not developed the habit of guarding against underwater attacks.

The invention of the submarine took place not long ago.

This thing is not the patent of Dr. Vegapunk. The country that originally built the submarine was the country of the Grand Line, a country known as the country of endless war. Scientists developed submarines as war weapons, but the technology was not kept secret. Once done well, this technology spread quickly, and many countries have mastered the technology of manufacturing submarines.

However, the manufacture of submarines is obviously more expensive than traditional warships, and there are large beasts such as Neptune in the sea. In addition, no country has ever won a significant victory with submarines... ···

Due to various restrictions, submarines have not been widely used in war.

Submarine technology has not been used in wars between countries, let alone pirates. Financial resources, technology and other factors have made pirates still accustomed to driving traditional warships and navies to chase on the sea. As a result, the Navy lacked experience in dealing with submarine attacks.

This is a problem of overall consciousness, not a lack of personal ability.

In short,

Colonel Toca's intuition about danger was correct, but it was a pity that he could not master this ability. Moreover, the restrictions on his status made it difficult for him to do anything. In this way, the navy's fleet was caught off guard. .

Under the attack of the submarine, three warships were hit at the beginning, and two were severely damaged. The unstoppable water leakage caused the ship to sink. The slightly injured warship was not a big problem and was cooperating with other warships to rescue it. Two sunken battleships.

The remaining battleships opened fire.

However, it is a pity that there is a lack of underwater combat equipment. The roaring artillery fire has no effect except to vent the anger and depression of the officers and soldiers. The navy has fallen into a passive phase of being beaten, but has no means of fighting back. .

until--

Sakaski came out of the cabin.

"Meteor volcano."

He raised his molten fists high, and an astonishing number of magma fists flew into the sky. They tore through the howling storm, tried their best to climb to the heights of the sky, and then continued to fall from the sky like meteor showers, hitting the ground hard. into the water below.

"Chichichichi——"

When the high-temperature magma fist met the cold sea water, white water vapor immediately enveloped the sea surface. Even the strong wind could not blow away all the endless steam. The temperature of the sea water nearby rose rapidly, making it sound like a gurgling sound. Like a boiling stockpot.

Sakaski's offense seemed to be working.

The unbridled attack by the submarine was interrupted, which made the helmsmen of each ship who were almost exhausted breath a sigh of relief.

They were really exhausted. They had never had the experience of fighting a submarine before. In a hurry, they could only rely on their own intuition and quality to control the warship to dodge the underwater attacks. They would dodge whatever they could. If you can't avoid it, use unimportant parts to hit it...

In just a few minutes, they seemed to have spent centuries. Several of them fainted in relief. The co-helmsman had to take over in a hurry and steer the huge warship to move on the sea.

In fact,

Sakaski realized that if he didn't take action, the entire fleet might be mercilessly annihilated... As a result, he had no choice but to hand over Nicole Robin to the custody of his subordinates and leave on his own. Go to the deck, take action to curb the crazy attack underwater, and turn the situation around.

"General! Invincible! General! Invincible!"

The cheers of the sailors echoed in the fierce wind.

After seeing Sakaski's earth-shattering attack, the depression of being passively beaten suddenly dissipated, and the morale-boosted sailors cheered heartily. However, unlike the emotional subordinates, Sakaski's expression was different. Dignified outside.

His insightful domineering energy penetrated the water vapor in front of him, and he saw a terrifying breath wave moving rapidly towards his location.

"Revolutionary Army."

There were bulging veins on his forehead, and in a deep voice he chanted the name of the enemy flying from the sky: "Monkey D. Dragon."

With the termination of the meteor volcano, without the continuous heating of the falling magma fists, the boiling seawater began to cool down, and the strong wind finally blew away all the water vapor. The navy soldiers raised their heads and could see the lonely A figure flying from the sky with the wind.

The dark green coat rustled in the wind. As the distance quickly narrowed, you could clearly see the red tattoos on the face of the visitor, and the ferocious expression... just like the picture of the most vicious criminal in the world. Photo on wanted poster.

"Monkey D. Dragon! You are looking for death!"

Sakaski roared.

The blazing magma fists were already shooting into the sky amidst the roar, and the blazing high-temperature magma seemed to burn everyone in the future without even leaving ashes.

"Kala!"

Thunder falls.

Like a divine sword falling from the sky, it easily defeated the magma fist and penetrated into the sea, without even touching the corner of the visitor's dark green coat.

"Sakaski, long time no see!" Mr., the most vicious criminal in the world, took the initiative to say hello to the admiral.
