Half a month later, in the middle of the Grand Route.
"Run quickly, why are these damn marines still chasing us?"
"Boss, why don't you fight with them?"
"If you want to fight, go up there yourself. Didn't you see that the opponent has five warships? It's difficult to get close to them with this firepower."
A medium-sized pirate ship was tightly entangled by five warships, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
"Hey, let me see what kind of pirate group they are, the Hardware Pirates, with a bounty of 10 million Baileys. It's so scary~" Porusalino held a dozen wanted lists in his hand and rummaged through them one by one. With.
"Hmph, no matter how much the bounty is, the evil must be eliminated." Sakaski next to him had a fierce expression on his face and stared at the pirate group ahead.
As the distance approached, the artillery fire on the naval warship opened fire first.
"Magma Cannon!!" Sakaski couldn't wait for the ship to approach, his hands became hot, and magma fireballs flew out of his hands and hit the opposite pirate group.
"Damn it, what is that, a new navy weapon?" The captain of the Hardware Pirates looked at the magma fireball shooting from a distance in horror.
"Boss, I can't stand it anymore." The pirate crew members shouted. Many pirate crew members were directly melted by the magma fireball, and the ship also ignited flames.
"Young men, throw away all the supplies on the ship. Quickly, speed up." The captain kept directing.
This method has shown some effectiveness. The smaller pirate ships can travel significantly faster after removing their load.
In this pirate world that relies on sail systems to sail, small ships are faster than heavy warships.
There is no way, the warships have more supplies and personnel than the pirates, and they have stronger defense and attack power than the pirate ships. In contrast, the heavier load causes the warships to not be as fast as the lighter pirate ships.
"hateful!!"
"Speed up quickly!!"
Seeing that the pirate ship might escape and get out of the attack range, Sakaski became furious.
This was the first time he encountered a slightly smarter pirate group. They gave up supplies at the critical moment to speed up their escape, which was beyond his expectation.
At this time, Lukar walked towards the bow of the ship and spoke.
"Porusalino, let me try it this time."
Every time when the pirate group was too far away before, it was Porusalino who went to solve it. His Shining Fruit was too fast, he could fly, and he had stronger mobility than anyone else.
But this time Lukar wanted to practice his skills and try the limits of his attack range.
Putting his hands together, he shouted
"Rockfall!!"
This time was different from the previous discussion with Major General Norris. A huge round rock with a radius of 5 meters was condensed directly above the warship. With Lucal's control, it accurately hit the surroundings of the hardware pirate ship.
The entire pirate ship was smashed to pieces by huge rocks. The sea water in that area was dyed red, and only the wreckage and wooden boards were left floating on the sea.
Phew, seeing and hearing Haki is so practical, Lukar thought as he looked at the wreckage of the annihilated pirate ship in front of him.
In the past, the hit rate of abilities like rock avalanche was always low. Since I learned the power of seeing and hearing, I can effectively lock on it. The only regret is that the speed of condensing rocks on the sea is still not fast.
Sakaski's expression calmed down when he saw that the pirates had been eliminated.
"Lucal, what is the limit of your shooting range now?"
"I haven't tried it, but it should be possible within the range of my color sensing."
Sakaski felt envious after hearing this. Now his hegemonic power has not been fully awakened, but his reaction ability has only been enhanced.
But what he envied even more than Sakaski was the dragon beside him. He looked at the three people in front of him and was extremely envious of each other's fruit abilities. The three natural fruits all had powerful attack range and distance.
At present, he can only fight with close physical skills, and can only watch the three of them take various shots. He doesn't even have a chance to take action, and he regrets agreeing to Garp to put him and Lukar on the same boat.
Yes, the only students on this warship are Lukar and Long. The other students are on other ships. Zefa mainly considers that the range of action of his three students is too large, which will affect the battle of other students. It's too easy to accidentally get hurt.
This group of pirates was just an episode during Lucal's voyage. After a month, the fleet gradually approached Kola Island.
What Lukar and the others didn't know was that something uncontrollable happened during their trip to Kola Island.
Time goes back to five days ago, the Grand Line Kola Island.
The entire island is circular, with a three-layer ring-shaped internal structure that looks like a circular archery target from above.
The centermost layer is about one-fifth of the island's area and is where the Wolf Fang Pirates are stationed.
The Wolf Fang Pirates can occupy the core position of this island. In addition to the captain Wolf King who has the strength to crush other pirates, the Wolf Fang Pirates also have the largest number of people, with nearly 2,000 crew members. After several years of operation, He has completely become the leader of this pirate island.
In the center of the Wolf Fang Pirates' station is a five-story castle building, formerly known as Duisburg. It seems to have a history of nearly a hundred years. At this time, it has served as the headquarters of Wolf King Eugene. The personal home, as for its previous owner, has completely disappeared into the sea.
brubru——
In the underground secret room of the castle, Eugene Damascus sat on the sofa in the secret room with a delicate tiger skin on top, making him look particularly domineering.
After communicating, Eugene crushed the phone bug directly. With a gloomy face, he said to another man in the secret room: "Damn it, why did the damn navy focus on this place? Yuta, what do you think?"
The person sitting next to him is Eugene's younger brother Yuta, who is also the vice-captain of the Wolf Fang Pirates and is also quite capable.
Different from his brother's majestic appearance, Yuta's body was covered in fat, and his eyes were almost squeezed into a slit by the flesh on his body.
Juta was chewing on a chicken leg when he heard his brother's question and replied in a muffled voice, "Brother, aren't they just a group of fledgling navy recruits? Just kill them all, and you can still get 200 million beli."
When Eugene heard his brother's answer, he became angry and slapped Yuta hard on the forehead.
"Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat. If he had known better, he wouldn't have given you the Pig Devil Fruit. You really would have turned into a pig after eating it!!"
Yuta looked aggrieved, "Brother, there are just some new recruits in the navy, can't they be killed casually?"
When Eugene heard this, he slapped him a few more times: "You know nothing. You really think it's so easy to kill. Why don't you do it yourself?"
"These 200 million beli are very hot. If these newcomers dare to attack us, there must be a lieutenant general-level expert escorting them behind them. There may be more than one."
When Yuta heard what his eldest brother said, he felt a little scared: "Brother, since the navy is escorted by a strong lieutenant general, why don't we withdraw first?"
Eugene sat back on the sofa, rubbing his chin with his right hand, and thought for a while.
"We must withdraw. We may not be able to defeat the vice-admiral-level navy, but we can't just leave like this. The other party said that we can get 100 million Baileys by killing the navy named Lucal among the recruits."
"I want to make arrangements to show these young marines the strength of the great pirate. Regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not, they will be ready to retreat after one attack."
"Remember not to leak this news to other pirate groups, they have to attract attention for me."
"Okay, brother."
