On May 23rd in the Great Age of Pirates, the Navy gathered nearly 130 large and medium-sized sailing battleships in the waters west of the Shampoo Islands, and attacked the Sonny and the sailing ship led by the naughty boy on the only route to the Red Earth Continent. The thieves carried out a premeditated ambush.
For that ambush, the navy was well prepared, the lineup was gorgeous, and the weapons and training levels of the officers and soldiers were also very high. There were nearly two to three thousand naval guns of various sizes alone!
If another pirate ship was ambushed, even if it was like Whitebeard's flagship Moby Dick, it would probably end up being ambushed on the spot and sunk by countless naval guns in an instant, and there would be no chance of it happening, right?
However, something happened that shocked everyone:
Not only did the navy's large fleet of nearly 130 large battleships fail to achieve any results, but they also suffered a long-range dive from the Bear Pirates' era-defining weapon - the ship-based Flying Fish Knights. bombing!
From the initial full-force pursuit of the Navy to the subsequent counterattack of the Naughty Pirates, to the end of the fifth round of air strikes by the Naughty Pirates and opening a gap in the encirclement, the navy's large sail-powered and paddle-wheel-powered battleships In the end, they paid a painful price of sinking six ships, damaging 22 ships (including minor and serious injuries and stranding), and causing nearly 10,000 casualties (including missing) officers and soldiers!
In the end, because they did not have any anti-aircraft power and did not know how to effectively attack the air, and there were no powerful generals or lieutenant generals to deal with it, and the originally planned iron wall encirclement was broken, the navy, which was filled with grief and anger, had no choice but to They had no choice but to voluntarily give up the pursuit and let the Sonny and the naughty kid pirates calmly sail away at high speed from the torn hole in the encirclement.
After this battle, the morale of the naval officers and soldiers plummeted again, and the World Government's face was also damaged, so much so that even the little bit of face saved by the official media's distortion of facts and propaganda after the war was completely lost!
then!
Shortly after the battle, dozens of naval officers at the rank of colonel were dismissed from their posts on the spot. The commodore in charge of combat command was directly dismissed and convicted. A number of senior generals and staff who formulated the combat plan were also held accountable. The main person in charge of the navy, Marshal Sengoku Na, who originally stayed in China after the war and planned to see the consequences, was put on the agenda that day. The day was not far away when he would complete the process and actually step down. .
However, compared with the debut of the USS Sonny aircraft carrier and the alternative combat method of the Flying Fish Knights, the Navy's internal personnel adjustments seem a bit insignificant.
Of course, the Navy attaches great importance to and tries its best to cover up the relevant details of the battle, and strictly blocks all relevant information after the battle. However, the 'Flying Fish Aircraft Carrier Sonny', 'The Pirate Ship That Can Defeat a Thousand' and 'Dive bombing' and other similar key words are still spreading quietly in an extremely fast time, and intentionally or unintentionally appear in the sight of some interested people around the world.
Of course, the naughty kid pirate group and the naughty kid himself don't care about the above information, and don't want to know!
Because, after the battle with the navy, the Sonny openly returned to the Chambord Islands once again, resupplying ammunition (gunpowder barrels and impact ignition devices, etc.) and recruiting all the Flying Fish Knights stranded on the Chambord Islands. After the remaining members and the flying fish, they set sail again under the watchful eyes of the former vice-captain of Roger Pirates, Pluto Silbaz Rayleigh, known as the 'right arm of the Pirate King', and Aunt Xaki who ran the rip-off bar. and left the Chambord Islands.
"Uncle Rayleigh!"
(*^▽^*)
"Aunt Xia Qi, goodbye!"
ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye~Bye~
Standing on the stern of the Sonny, which was operating without wind and the sails were still swollen against the wind, a certain naughty boy was waving goodbye to the two little people on the hillside far away from the shore, regardless of whether they were so far away. Can't hear it.
"Her Majesty Queen Anne, we are about to speed up, please hold on!"
"quick!"
"Sonny, full speed ahead!!"
Dibaru, the first mate on the ship and the leader of the Flying Fish Knights, was shouting and ordering with great satisfaction.
Because, after returning to the Shampoo Islands and gathering the remaining members he had left on the island, he finally got himself a new flying fish, and no longer had to worry about being caught during the next bombing mission. Left behind.
"Just drive your boat, so people won't be thrown off!"
(*๓´ꌂ`๓)
Annie made a face at Uncle Dibalu angrily.
At the same time, the Sonny indeed began to speed up, and Annie, who was standing behind the boat, stood there steadily as she said, without being affected by anything at all.
…
As the Sonny went away, on a big tree on the coast of Area 13, there was a huge figure with a stocky figure like a wrestler. The face and hairstyle looked like a girl, but she had The man with a hideous scar that had been repaired finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right!
This man with a stocky figure is Zhan Momomaru!
At this time, he was hiding here with two 'pacifists' from the scientific force and closely observing the Sonny, which was leaving towards the open sea, and Pluto Rayleigh, who was seeing off on the hillside on the shore.
However, until the Sonny was far away, Zhan Momomaru had no intention of showing up and launching an attack.
Obviously, Zhan Momomaru probably knew that whether it was the naughty child Annie or Pluto Rayleigh, he and his scientific team could not fight against it. Therefore, he did not carry out any irrational actions. Just silently observing from a distance.
And for a long time, when the Sonny's speed became faster and faster and disappeared completely at the end of the sea level, looking at Pluto Rayleigh and the two men who were still sitting on the hillside full of flowers and floating colorful bubbles, he Finally he took out a phone bug and dialed a number.
"Report to Navy Headquarters!"
"yes!"
"This is the captain of the Navy's scientific force, Zhan Momomaru!"
"it's me!"
"The Sonny has left the Shampoo Islands. Based on the other party's course, I'm sure they are preparing to dive to Fish-Man Island."
"Yes, I saw it leaving. Please rest assured headquarters, I did not act rashly!"
"..."
After a pause, he looked up at the sea in the distance and found that the Sunny's sail could no longer be seen. Then Zhan Momomaru continued:
"Please tell the Navy Headquarters in the New World immediately. I just saw that the Sonny 'Flying Fish Mothership' has replenished a large number of powder barrels and more Flying Fish Knights. All the Flying Fish Knights on the island should be gone. Plus Boy, that ship is even more dangerous now!"
"That's right!"
"Tell the navies of the New World to be vigilant!"
"Also..."
"The naughty kid and her Sonny Flying Fish Mothership must be arriving in the new world soon. We can't intercept it in the middle, so they must be careful and vigilant!"
"Um!"
"As for Hades Silbaz Rayleigh..."
"He is still stranded on the Chambord Islands. The 'coating craftsman' is not a threat for the time being!"
"Okay, I understand. I'll go back now and finish the report!"
After the report, Zhan Momomaru, the captain of the naval science force with a stocky figure, took a deep and fearful look at the back of Pluto Silbaz Reilly sitting on the hillside in the distance, and finally said: Without saying anything, he took the two pacifists with him and turned around, quietly jumped to a branch further away, and quickly and quietly left the 'No. 13' area.
"..."
"..."
Shortly after Zhan Taomaru left, Aunt Xia Qi, who was standing behind Lei Li smoking and silent together, suddenly turned around. She first glanced at the top of the huge Arqi mangrove tree in the distance, and then vomited. He lit a smoke ring and said softly:
"Hello!"
"That Marine, he's gone!"
"I was worried just now whether he would bring someone to attack you!"
Xia Qi said quietly, and flicked the cigarette butt with only one butt left to fly into the distance, watching the sparking cigarette butt burst a rising small bubble and make a 'pop' sound. A crisp sound.
"Crunt me?"
"That doesn't mean..."
"Ah!"
"After the navy suffered two disastrous defeats in the War on the Top and yesterday's Flying Fish War, it no longer has the heart to care about a little person like me."
"At least, if I don't plan to come back, they will definitely not attack me again."
Shaking his head, Pluto Rayleigh smiled teasingly, then picked up the silver wine bottle in his hand and took a big sip.
"Nobody?"
"When did the famous Pluto become a nobody again?"
Aunt Xia Qi obviously didn't agree with what Lei Li said, so she made a rare mockery of him.
"..."
"Whatever you say!"
"In any case, after the Navy has lost two generals and even the old guy Garp has begun to retire, they will definitely not dare to go to war to provoke a lonely man like me. They really don't have the capital and energy now. ”
"Besides..."
"The naughty boy and Whitebeard are the targets they need to focus on, aren't they?"
Yes, in Reilly's opinion, when Anne was still active, and when Whitebeard was still alive, he definitely didn't have to worry about being troubled by the Navy. With that little tacit understanding, he believed that the Navy and him There will still be something in between.
Otherwise, those navy would really be completely hopeless.
"Too!"
"Compared to Whitebeard who is about to die, Annie is really having a little too much fun lately."
"I heard that the Navy, the World Government, and even the Five Old Stars are all attracted to her. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing?"
After lighting up a cigarette again and starting to puff away the smoke, Xia Qicai frowned and sighed, then looked in the direction where the Sonny had just disappeared and said quietly.
"okay!"
"Whether it's good or bad, that's not something we can control."
"Xia Qi..."
"Whether you believe it or not, our era has indeed ended, and now it is the world of those young people!"
At this point, Pluto Rayleigh paused in his hand to cover the spout. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and continued to add with a smile:
"I still remember, when Roger found me and wanted me to go to sea with him, he said this..."
"He said, 'Rayleigh, our encounter is destined, let us go to overturn the world together'?"
"At that time, I still felt a little baffled. I thought he was just a brat who didn't know the heights of the world..."
"But the result..."
"Ah!"
Halfway through the thought, Reilly laughed at himself again.
"In the end, it seems that he did it..."
"but……"
"It seems like it's not completely done?"
"But who knows!"
"Anyway, after his death, people like Luffy appeared, and then Annie..."
"..."
"First she made a big fuss on the Shampoo Islands, then she raided the impel city, participated in the battle on top, and finally fought a decisive battle with the main fleet of the navy..."
"Maybe……"
"Is she really going to be the one who helps him realize that great dream and turn the world upside down?"
After saying that, Rayleigh raised his head and drank the little wine left in his silver flask with a smile.
"oh?"
"But isn't Annie's appearance an accident?"
Xia Qi, who was standing behind Reilly with his arms folded, was noncommittal and just asked softly.
"accidental?"
"No!"
"Perhaps there is no chance in this world..."
"everything……"
"It's all inevitable!"
Shaking his head, Rayleigh obviously didn't quite agree with what his companion Xia Qi said.
"alright!"
"Xia Qi, I'm going to Nine Snakes Island. I'll leave the family matters to you for the time being."
Finally, after finishing the wine in the silver flask in his hand, and now that the departing Sonny could no longer be seen from here, Rayleigh slowly stood up and walked directly towards the distant seaside.
"??"
"Didn't you just say that Annie is that person? Why are you going to Nine Snake Island to find Luffy now?"
"It's a bit superfluous, isn't it?"
Of course Xia Qi knew what Rayleigh wanted to do when he went to Nine Snake Island. He just planned to personally teach Luffy Haki and certain fighting techniques.
However, it was precisely because of that that she was a little confused. She didn't know what Rayleigh's inconsistent words meant.
“Whether it is or not, it’s always good to have multiple policies!”
"If Anne fails..."
"Then we will still have a Luffy in two years, and he matches that straw hat very well, doesn't he?"
After saying that, after gently waving his hand towards Xia Qi who was standing unmoved behind him, Pluto Silbaz Reilly quickly disappeared into the colorful bubbles floating around. In the dreamy and dreamy Archipelago mangroves of the Shampoo Islands.
"..."
“Multiple insurances?”
call!
Xia Qi exhaled a smoke ring, not caring about Lei Li who disappeared into the mangroves, nor worrying about how he was going to get to Nine Snakes Island. He just puffed away the smoke while frowning and thinking.
"Indeed, it seems that none of the Straw Hat crew are on board!"
"only......"
"Reilly, I always feel like your insurance is useless!"
Shaking her head and taking one last look at the place where Lei Li disappeared, Xia Qi didn't say anything more, turned around and walked back towards the deceptive bar she opened^-^)~''☆ミ☆ミ♡Monthly Pass♡
