My friends are all pirates

From the pirates' point of view, the area where Magnetic Drum Island is located is a relatively front area of ​​the Great Channel, but for Mary Gioia and Marlin Fandor, it's just the opposite.

In this era, Mary Joya is the center of the world, bar none.

Legal ships from all over the world pass through the great waterway, and all the waterways of the great waterway will converge into one point in Maryjoia. to the other end.

Therefore, for this world center, the so-called remote areas are not distinguished by the four seas and the great waterway, but by the distance of information exchange and the resources needed to cross this distance. The sea area near the inverted mountain is the remote area.

The Navy Headquarters and the Four Seas Branch have less military strength here, and it is inconvenient to support them. After all, warships cannot pass through the Reversing Mountain.

Asherid finally found one of the benefits of joining the Don Quixote Pirates for the time being - Doflamingo was eyeing Mary Gioia from the beginning, and his organization was closer to the World Government than any other pirates , is a channel for him to understand the world well.

One cannot see the world of One Piece without understanding the world government.

Reality is always more complex and specific than comics.

After eating and drinking enough, Doflamingo waved his hand, and everyone went back to their boats.

Asherid was led by Diamanti to his ship.

But he only took a few steps before he saw Gladius and Monet following.

"Their boat was destroyed by you, so go to my boat too. You should get along well in the future." Diamanti explained when she saw the questioning look in Asherid's eyes.

Under his leadership, the three boarded the longboat and rowed to Diamanti's ship.

Diamanti's ship was named "Vida", a three-masted galleon with two continuous artillery decks below the open deck, and a crew of nearly 500 people.

Diamanti called the first mate of the Vida, told him to arrange the rest cabin for Asherid, and then left on his own.

As the daylight disappeared and darkness enveloped the sea, the crew of the Vader hung a light on the stern of the ship, and soon more lights were lit in the darkness, and each ship continued to maintain the order of the group according to the lights. organize.

Ah Sherid did not stay in the cabin specially vacated for him by the first officer of the Vida, but walked to the stern of the ship, looking at the lights in the darkness behind.

Although the fleet of the Don Quixote family is huge, it is still dominated by sloops, all of which are small ships weighing up to two hundred tons.

These ships are the same as the previous Imagination, with a limited number of artillery but extremely flexible. According to Doflamingo's arrangement on the dinner table, once the treasure fleet appears, these small ships will attack the treasure fleet like a pack of wolves, as the vanguard The ammunition of the treasure fleet was consumed, and the formation of the escort fleet was disrupted, while a small number of galleons in the fleet were responsible for the task of conducting frontal combat and destroying the escort fleet.

Of course, if the navy's escort fleet does not have any tough roles, then it is definitely not a destruction but an annihilation.

"Can't sleep?"

Monet's voice came from behind.

Asherid turned his head, and the grass-green wavy-haired girl was standing behind him.

After all, it's been too long, and I really can't remember all the characters that appeared in the comics. Who is this girl, then I really can't recall the corresponding characters.

"You can sleep as long as you want after you die." Asherid put his arms on the rear bulwark, looking very relaxed, "It's you, you are 'Snow', standing so close to my 'Fire', isn't it? Is it dangerous? I just ate the fruit not long ago."

"Just kidding, I think you can control it very well." Monet smiled, "How does it feel on the first day in the family?"

"I admit, it's a little different from what I think, but, as a cadre, you are so amiable, be careful not to be looked down upon by your subordinates."

"Although the young master has not given you a rank now, as long as you treat the young master sincerely, it will definitely happen sooner or later." Monet said, "Has anyone seen those people as your equal? ​​If you Where you feel offended, you can take action, the family's rules are that you must never take action against cadres, and there are not so many restrictions below the cadres."

"Sounds like raising Gu..." Asherid didn't continue the topic, "But the captain really wanted to kill me, didn't he?"

"Don't worry about such small things, you are a swordsman." Monet walked to Asherid's side, "The young master told me to take care of you more usually, so that you can get used to it as soon as possible."

"Ah? Didn't Mr. Diamanti take me?"

"Mr. Diamanti is not good at bringing newcomers, and it is more convenient to tie together the nature and nature in battle. Of course, this is what the young master meant. We belong to Mr. Diamanti's combat force this time, but It's my job to take you."

"Where is it convenient for us?" Asherid was a little puzzled, and began to count with his fingers. "I like to use a sword and you are unarmed. I am fire and you are snow. Isn't this completely inconsistent in various senses?"

"Then can you fly?" Monet asked calmly.

"Can you fly?"

"You said it yourself, I am snow, and snow can float."

If you can fly, you should have said earlier.

Asherid became interested, and at the same time, a picture flashed in his mind, which seemed to match the girl in front of him.

In the comics, Luffy and the others met a Don Quixote "bird girl" on the island where the red dog and the blue pheasant PK, but she was not strong, and Sauron chopped her down for a long time with only murder Couldn't recover.

A vague impression flashed by, as if the cadre with the bird's wings and sharp claws was also of the nature department and snow.

"Then can you take me flying?"

"Don't be kidding, it's snow that floats up, are you snow?" Monet rolled his eyes at Asherid, "You don't know how heavy you are?"

"Okay..." Ah Sherid lost interest and decided to go back to sleep.

"But if you fall into the sea, I will catch you with snow, as long as you jump back into the boat as soon as possible."

"That's pretty good. Please give me more advice in the future. Speaking of which, are you always so kind to newcomers?"

"My life was given by the young master. I believe that only the young master can become the 'One Piece'. I hope you can contribute to the young master." Monet seemed to answer the question, but Asherid already understood what she meant.

This is Doflamingo's brainless fan. Many cadres of the Don Quixote family are not so much different in temperament as they are few normal people. Doflamingo pulled them out of hell and brought them into Another hell, but they didn't realize it. In the "family" environment created by Doflamingo, they regarded Doflamingo as their master, parent and belief.

"Don't worry about that, I won't do things like fishing." Asherid nodded at Monet, "In short, I will trouble you in the future, I will go to rest first."

After speaking, he walked past Monet and went back to his cabin.

The place Diamanti asked to arrange for him was still okay, at least there was still a bed, which was not easy.

This warship, like the Navy's warships, does not have most of the space freed up to accommodate artillery as on the Blue Star. The living space in the poop is much more generous, but this is only limited to the privileged class on the ship, the bottom sailors There is no difference between them and their counterparts on the blue star.

After returning to the cabin, Asherid did not fall asleep as he said. He sat on the bed and checked his weapon. In the last battle, he covered the long sword with flames many times. affected.

If the sword can't last in the next battle, then he can only use his ability to use swordsmanship. Although he can use it roughly, it is definitely different from the situation when he has a sword in his hand.

He hasn't quite mastered the knack of it yet.

As the drowsiness became heavier, Acherid sat on the bed holding the long sword and began to rest.

Chapter 31 The Treasure Fleet Revealed

The wait was longer than Sherid had expected.

The unpredictability of the sea, the big pirate is not immune.

After waiting for a week, even the repaired Imagination was incorporated into the fleet, and the Don Quixote Pirates finally got news of their prey.

The news came from a brig passing by, and when the Don Quixote family captured the ship as usual, from the mouth of the crew, they learned that a fleet of 25 ships had just left the city the night before. Only two miles away from them passed by, among them were eight treasure ships.

Knowing the news, the Don Quixote family immediately began to pursue without wasting time.

After sailing for nearly [-] miles, the pirates finally saw a ship weighing [-] tons. When they saw groups of pirate ships rushing towards them, the crew on the ship was terrified. Under strong pressure from the captain, he only fired three shots before surrendering regardless.

It is a member of the treasure fleet, but it is left behind, and it is only one of the small ships, so the escort team is too lazy to come back to find it, and now it is cheaper for the pirates of the Don Quixote family.

The pirates who boarded the ship searched it all, killed the captain who dared to order resistance, tortured some people, and agreed to some sailors to join their ranks, and finally they got gold and silver treasures worth tens of millions of Baileys. Compared with the total wealth of the treasure fleet, it is only a fraction, but this is a good sign.

Prior to this, the main force of the Don Quixote family fleet had continued to pursue after obtaining the information.

A few days later, they finally saw the treasure fleet.

This is a magnificent fleet.

The characteristics of the treasure ship are so obvious that they can be recognized at a glance.

Their bodies are bloated and fat-this is a completely reasonable design for armed ships in the age of sailing. The largest treasure ship weighs nearly [-] tons visually.

Escorting them are more than a dozen naval warships.

After coming to this land for so long, Ashred finally saw the navy.

The shape and structure of naval warships are all the same style, the whole body is dark green and black spotted camouflage paint, large warships are mainly four-masted and three-masted fully rigged sailing warships, all of which are capable of all-weather combat, with two continuous artillery decks, open-air There will be three three-barreled gun rooms on the deck, and the well-known naval emblem and the word "MARINE" are printed on the canvas. The secondary warships only reduce the number of masts and artillery on the basis of this shape.

Although the highest rank of the Treasure Fleet's naval warships is only three-masted, compared with their opponents, they can still crush the ships with firepower and manpower.

The appearance of the Don Quixote fleet immediately attracted the attention of the naval warships. The bell rang in the convoy, and they began to form a combat formation.

Both Asherid and Monet stood at the bow of the ship, looking ahead at the navy that was adjusting its formation, waiting for instructions.

The Vader is very close to Doflamingo's flagship, and it is also responsible for part of the semaphore command function.

Gladius was the busiest among several people. He took over the weapon command of the Vida, and he gave orders loudly on the deck, instructing the gunners to prepare the cannons.

Diamanti looked in the direction of the flagship. He saw Doflamingo and the semaphore from the flagship.

"Asherid, Monet, you are the first to board the ship." He said, and then shouted at the crew members running on the deck, "Start fighting!"

A battle mode completely different from that of the Brotherhood of the Coast officially unfolded in front of Al Sherid.

As the big ship began to pass the semaphore, the Don Quixote fleet began to form.

A large number of single-masted ships that originally guarded the galleon scattered, and they formed a team, and according to the position of the target warship, they rushed to the blind area of ​​​​their side gun doors.

But their opponent is not a merchant ship with limited armament and a weak fighting will, but a strong and well-trained navy with a strong fighting will.

Individual naval warships do have blind spots, but not a fleet.

A pirate detachment consisting of three sloops Don Quixote first entered within range of the two warships on the left wing of the treasure ship escort, followed by the other two detachments who also thought they had found an opportunity.

The two warships immediately opened fire.

The firepower they displayed completely overwhelmed the more than a dozen Don Quixote family pirate ships. For hundreds of years, the sea overlords of the One Piece world are not big pirates, nor are they improvised by one or several kingdoms. The Armed Flotilla, always the Navy.

Even the pirates who are on the opposite side must admit that the gunnery level of the two warships that fired first is completely first-rate. Their gunners can fire three broadside salvos every 5 minutes, and there is no need for salvos. When fired, the broadside fired at a rate of three rounds per minute.

The giant cannons on the open deck of the warship are protected by the gun room. The rate of fire is much slower, and it can only be fired once every two minutes, but the power is amazing.

And the best result of the Don Quixote family is - every 10 minutes, just this, it is already very good compared to most of its peers.

In a short period of time, the first three pirate ship squads that launched the attack suffered a very severe blow. The Don Quixote family can't be so extravagant that these small ships can also have people who can stop the shells.

As for those single-masted ships that were lucky enough to escape the first round of bombardment, they were immediately greeted by the sailors with rockets and bullets. In the end, no one was able to approach the warship, and they all fed the fish.

But this is only a corner of the battlefield. The all-out war between the Don Quixote fleet and the naval convoy has begun. The sky is blurred by shells, rockets, and bullets all over the sky, and the smoke from the muzzle covers the sky. , Many projected burning objects will not be extinguished even if they fall into the sea, but will ignite the sea surface.

The galleons that actually carried Don Quixote's elite main force spread their sails, cut beautiful waves on the sea, and rushed towards the front of the escort team.

Each of these ships has fierce men who can intercept shells head-on.

On the ship where Asherid was, Diamanti was the most eye-catching one.

The steel fluttered like silk in his hands, detonating the incoming shells or rockets from a distance.

But Asherid can't watch the show, especially when they are getting closer and closer to the navy, and more and more shells and rockets are coming, and Asherid has also begun to join the ranks of intercepting the artillery shells.

Later, he also had to draw out his long sword to slash, but he didn't dare to use his ability on the deck.

The long sword in his hand is extremely dexterous, and he swung it airtightly, cutting all the shells or rockets that hit nearby. These explosive things still have the ability to cause damage to the hull even if they explode in the air, but Monet Hiding behind Asherid, she used her powers to extinguish any flames that attempted to fall on the ship.

From this perspective, she and Asherid cooperated well.

The Vader's bow was designed with a ram. Under the control of the crew, relying on its own players to intercept shells, it rushed straight to a three-masted warship.

On the surface of the sea, some secondary warships were also damaged. After all, the cannons of the Don Quixote family are not for display, and the number is much larger than that of this convoy. Some warships have already ignited fires. But even so they kept firing.

The target warship of the Vida is still intact, and there are players on it who can intercept shells.

Ashred had seen it.

There is more than one player of this type on the other side, the fiercest one is a bearded man wearing a military overcoat, which is the style of a general-level officer in the navy.

But it is definitely not a lieutenant general. There are not many lieutenant generals in the navy that can be sent to remote places as escorts.

The current Admiral of the Navy is not yet called Sengoku, and Red Dog, Aokiji and Kizaru are still lieutenant generals now.

Finally, the Vader successfully crashed into it.

Its bow did not penetrate very deep, the warship used the best wood, and the multi-layer hull design further improved its resistance to physical strikes.

But that's enough.

Diamanti was the first to rush onto the deck of the warship with a smirk. At this time, the deck of the warship was full of marine soldiers waiting in full battle. As soon as Diamanti's feet touched the deck, there were intensive shootings. , and a few rockets also hit over together.

Diamanti lifted the cloak and blocked it in front of him.

Those few rockets hit the cloak, accompanied by a violent explosion, shining brightly.

The flames were still alive, and a white ribbon rushed out of the flames, swept across the bodies of several sailors, and cut these sailors who were still in the shooting posture into two pieces.

The miserable howl of the navy finally sounded on the ship.

"Stay away from him!" The bearded navy man in military uniform roared, and rushed up with clenched fists, his fists were pitch black.

Asherid decided to stay away from him, the ghost knows whether Zhan Tie will work against the armed domineering color.

Anyway, the armed color domineering is effective for the natural system.
