I, Sakazuki, Will Not Take a Dog Easily

Loot passing ships, coastal ports or towns and villages in the sea area.

"Hahaha, first gather the materials found at the dock! Who dares to swallow private goods at this time, I will chop his head!

Dozens of small boats moored unevenly on the soft sand, and the captain of the one-eyed pirate headed by the captain laughed deeply, welcoming his subordinates to launch an offensive against the town.

With his right arm high, he used the sword as a flag and baton, and dispatched the crew of the boats to act as the vanguard.

The old and cunning captain of the pirate led a group of his confidants to wait and see for the time being.

Those rushing ahead are responsible for proving the resistance of the town with their lives and bodies.

Sure enough, there was a burst of gunfire, and a large cloud of white-gray smoke ignited and exploded from the town.

And those pirates who were brandishing machetes and clamoring for impact in the first column suddenly fell over a dozen.

Most of these vanguards as consumables are new sailors recruited from the port tavern. These are irrelevant in exchange for shortening the time and distance, and the real backbone of the Pirate Group has just begun to exert its strength.

"Fight! Catch them to fill the gap!" Without the pirate captain giving orders, the battle-tested chief mate led the crew to rush over.

The pirates know that the guns equipped by these militias can never be too good. There should be a small number of rifles that can fire continuously, but not many.

The old spicy pirate stared at the militia fortifications built with wooden tables, chairs and freight carriages in the town with one eye, showing a crooked grin.

He is not the same as those foolish colleagues. It is not that there is more abundant oil and water along the Great Route, but he finally set his goal here.

There is no other reason. Other towns either have direct naval garrisons, or they are less than half a day away from the **** Sea Hedgehog fortress.

And this place is the most fringe area of ​​the naval branch’s assistance range. Even if these heavy and large warships ride on the wind and ocean currents, it will take nearly a day to reach it.

These civilians who dared to resist him all felt that they would be able to support the arrival of the navy, right?

Although this port town rang the alarm bell on the top of the mountain and the bell tower when the pirate ship was seen from a distance.

Based on his rich experience of plundering in the East China Sea for many years, the light and strong male residents who are unwilling to give up their homes and food will build a line of defense with the local militias, while women, children, old and weak will be arranged to take refuge in the mountains.

"Hmph, I'm the [One-Eyed Owl] who is offering a reward of 55 million Bailey. Can these little tricks be kept from me?"

Two days before the attack, the pirate captain had already dispatched a batch of spies to ambush around the island to explore.

"Second officer, take a group of people to join the spies I sent into the town earlier, and catch all those women!"

297. Pain (on)

Luffy lay down on the side of the ship, watching the waves that were split by the warship. The waves blinked and were thrown behind him in the roar of the steamship.

Although he is persistent, he is not a fool. Everything in Mogu Town is what he has seen and heard with his own eyes.

Shanks had indeed told him that the Pirates group had many criticisms, and Luffy didn't care about it at the time.

But once I remembered that I would be very likely to recruit this kind of scum as a crew member in the future, the little straw hat would be quite big.

The words Luo Xindi told him when he leaped into the sky kept reverberating in his mind, [Red-haired Shanks is a rare alien among the pirates. 】

"Is this the true portrayal of most pirates?" Luffy leaned on the side of the ship with a rather distressed expression. His long-term knowledge of [the real pirates] was subverted, and he was no different from his dream career. Yu Dangtou hit the head.

Seeing this little devil's head, who had never stopped on the boat, withered like a frosted eggplant at this moment, Luo Nandi blamed himself again.

Although those words came from the heart, they accidentally hurt the child.

But he knew that these truths must be said. Even if he doesn't say it, Karp will say it, and Sa will always say it.

To let Luffy realize the cruelty between reality and imagination earlier is not a bad thing for him.

"Brigadier General Rossandi, Major General Lindeman invites you to go over and discuss the plan for the attack." Kaku's voice suddenly sounded from behind him, almost scaring the silence to death.

He didn't open the soundproof space, but he still couldn't hear any footsteps.

The Legion Assassin [The Raven] turned around to examine this square-nosed young man carefully. Shouldn't it be the one who came from the original assassination organization? Stand behind others if they don’t agree...

"Xun takes ten people, you go to the other side's pirate ship to solve the remaining pirates and destroy all the ironware on their ship! I want the gang of pirates to be wiped out here." When Luo Xindi arrived on the second deck, Lindemann is hurriedly arranging the tasks of each group member.

"Kaku, you take ten people to stay on the warship, and the others will follow me to help the town to kill the pirates."

Lindemann glanced at his belated companion, and assigned him an easy task: "Rosinandi takes ten people and the kid to protect women and children. I listen to the report from the sea hedgehog, that town. The militiamen hid the old and the weak in a cave in advance."

The confidant general of President Sa, gently stroked this chic new-style warship and asked a group of seamen: "Do you know why the regiment commander is trying his best to supervise the building of this steamship?"

"For future naval battles with greater advantages, right?" A seaman who claimed to be familiar with the killing and belligerence of the legion commander rushed to answer.

Another veteran immediately sneered and said, "Fart, you know eggs!"

With a mysterious expression, he recounted the words he had heard from his companions by the hot springs before: "With the steam ship with the stone bottom of the sea tower, the expeditionary force will be able to carry the sailing warship in the windless belt. The ghost places that can't run are rampant!"

"Huh!? You mean we might attack the Nine Snake?" Everyone was surprised at first, and then they caught the blind spot.

"None." Lindeman shook his head slightly, his face still had a trademark smile, but this time it was a little bit more, and sighed with sincere emotion: "Zong said-if these How quickly the warship can get a point, the towns and merchant ships that are being looted, perhaps, there will be a glimmer of hope."

Even if it is only an experimental steamship, the speed propelled by steam power is still far faster than that of a sail battleship driven by natural wind.

After receiving the support mission, the experimental ship at full speed for the first time advanced on the sea, but at a distance of 85 nautical miles, even a modern light torpedo boat with a speed of 60 nautical miles per hour would have to run for more than an hour.

Even if the first-generation steamship of the navy headquarters added some black technology installed by Begapunk, the speed could only reach 40 knots.

"I hope it's still too late."

————————

"I hope it's still too late." Half of the old town mayor's face was blackened by black powder. He lowered his head and took out his pocket watch from his pocket to check the time. A shuttle bullet hit the simple bunker with sawdust flying around, hiding behind the fortifications of these sofas and bookcases as bunkers, it is difficult to effectively ensure that the projectile will not penetrate these fragile protections.

It has been nearly an hour since he sounded the alarm when he spotted the pirate ship, organized the transfer of personnel, and planned defense.

In other words, the warship dispatched by the Navy should have already set off.

And as long as they can maintain the current blocking force, they will be able to hold these pirates for several hours.

And the latest news from [Sea Hedgehog] to them is: A naval headquarters nearest to their town is coming at full speed, and it will be there in about two hours.

[It can do it, we can hold it!] The old gentleman secretly encouraged himself.

"The mayor! They are getting closer and closer to us!" A middle-aged man bent over uneasily and trot over to report. He was the bakery owner who had never picked up a gun dozens of minutes ago.

And the bullets that whizzed past, the black powder jet that made a huge noise, and the screams of the pirates getting closer and closer all made this gentle old man feel at a loss.

"Go tell everyone, stick to it, the reinforcements of the navy headquarters will arrive in only one hour!" The old mayor patted the baker on the shoulder, pretending to be calm.

He was actually very scared, but when similar incidents happened in the past, this kind of delaying method can basically produce miraculous effects.

Seeing that this foolish guy actually planned to make such a loud notification, the mayor was really helpless.
