Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 197 A New Style of War! (23)

The residents and tourists of Dressrosa witnessed for the first time the super-century warfare method recently advocated by the Navy.

Justice is within range!

Artillery coverage means peace!

Just like what Ron sighed when the airship troops appeared, the threat posed by the navy that has mastered air supremacy is far beyond the reach of the top combat forces in the past.

The Earth's war has developed into a beyond-visual-range mode, not with the intention of reducing casualties, but simply because this mode is more suitable for interpreting "war".

In the world of One Piece, due to the sky-high individual strength, vast seas and inconvenient transportation, the understanding of war is still stuck in the concept of soldier versus soldier, general versus general. It is believed that as long as the top combat power can take action to defeat the opponent's masters, the war will be one-sided.

This is indeed the case, the purpose of both is to kill the enemy.

But when weapons can not only do the same thing, but even do it better... then the previous war model is no longer so applicable.

Zizi...Boom! !
Above the sky, the clouds were flashing with lightning.

The lightning flashed through the clouds at a speed that seemed slow from a distance but extremely fast up close, and soon revealed its true form before everyone's eyes. Behind each cloud layer that flashed with lightning, there were groups of high-voltage currents that were thrown out of the cone-shaped flow flame particle layer due to their high speed!

It seemed as if a layer of light rain was falling from the sky, covering the entire location of the Allied Forces!

"what is that?!"

"A flying whale?!"

"It's a naval airship! I remember that Vice Admiral Ron is the commander of the airship unit!"

In Dressrosa, countless people looked up at the sky, casting glances of fear and horror at the huge shadow hidden behind the clouds.

The rain of light falling from the sky overturned people's imagination of war. Only by seeing with one's own eyes the capabilities of this terrifying weapon of war, the airship.

However, the problem arises...

"That's weird! Is the navy fighting someone?"

"Huh? Yeah, are there enemies at sea?"

The residents looked around in confusion. Although they saw the navy firing, they did not see any enemy.

Due to the towering rock formations surrounding the kingdom, many people in Dressrosa were unaware that enemies had appeared on the sea.

Doflamingo did a good job in this regard. The Don Quixote family soldiers took over the defense of the entire country, keeping the war away from Dressrosa for a long, long time.

"Wait! I think I saw something!"

A man climbed to a high place, looked around, and suddenly his expression was shocked and he spoke in a trembling voice.

"It's pirates... so many pirates!!!"

"Nani?!"

"Are the pirates invading?"

"Hurry and inform King Doflamingo! Pirates are invading!"

There was chaos all around them. They enjoyed watching the shows in the Colosseum, but they didn't like the thought of shedding blood one day.

"No...I'm afraid not."

The man who spoke first swallowed hard and felt a chill all over his body.

"It's... too late."

"What? Is it too late?!"

"Quick, get the children and women to hide! Men, grab your weapons and prepare to fight!"

The people around him were even more terrified when they heard this, and they dispersed in the blink of an eye. By the time the man himself felt that this sentence was ambiguous and wanted to explain it, there was no one around.

It’s too late, there’s no need to notify the king!

……

Standing on the King's Highland, Doflamingo clearly saw that the fleet that was like a moving land seemed to be still, covered by the rain of light falling from the sky. The firelight took over the sight, and the sky lit up with dazzling light that was no weaker than the sun! The endless light engulfed the pirate ships one by one, and the calm sea surface rolled up huge waves, surging in all directions!

The distance was too far, so he didn't feel much vibration. He only saw dazzling balls of light falling, and the pirate ships were directly burned with raging fire!

The strength and ferocity that the pirates relied on for survival were completely dissipated under the cold and hot light ball. It was as if an invisible hand was using a brush full of white, blue and red to erase the ugly black pirate ship.

After the storm, less than one-tenth of the ships were able to continue floating on the sea!

And this is just the damage caused by one round of concentrated fire!

"Go! Don't let them get away!"

"Catch if you can, kill if you can't!"

At this time, the Qilin arrived and met the enemy, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The coalition forces, already confused by the blanket bombing, faced the vicious Qilin and began to flee like sheep in a flock of hungry wolves.

Of course, before that, the Qilin's artillery and plasma cannons fired thousands of shots at the same time, giving the opponent's dying ship a brutal finishing blow.

boom!
boom!
Each shot will completely disintegrate an entire pirate ship! The plasma cannon can easily destroy ships, and its huge destructive power is fully demonstrated in this encounter!
The plasma cannon installed on the war beast is different from the plasma cannon used by the airship troops. The main attack target of the airship troops is at sea level and there is a distance limit with the sky, so they pay more attention to range.

The plasma cannon on the war beast is mainly used for close-range dogfights. Vegapunk uses a layer of heat-resistant mucus synthesized from special materials to stick to countless shrapnel with amazing lethality. After the explosion, it sprays metal bullets on the enemy like a super-large shotgun, which is even more lethal.

Horrible and cold!
The beauty of war and killing is displayed vividly!
At this moment, everyone understood why the Kirin accelerated in advance. If they moved slower, the pirates would get their tempers back and flee, and the Kirin would not be able to catch up with everyone.

“This weapon!!!”

Doflamingo was stunned and clenched his fists unconsciously.

"That's a weapon made from my Thunder Fruit. How is it? Pretty powerful, right?"

Ron smiled and shook off the ashes, watching them float over Dressrosa and disappear.

There is a lot of black technology in the world of One Piece, and it seems that with a devil fruit, everything is not a problem.

The plasma cannon and the super-electromagnetic cannon, which clearly transcended hundreds of years in the world and could not be manufactured with current technology, were completely solved just by studying the bloodline factors in his blood.

“Yes… yes!

Doflamingo's face looked even uglier. He found that in just one or two years, the world had changed so much that he couldn't understand it.

He has always been confident in his own weapons, because he once used his special privileges as a Celestial Dragon to steal the design drawings from a naval military factory and privately manufactured cutting-edge weapons that were only supplied to the navy, believing that he was no worse than anyone else.

However, the plasma cannons and airships that appeared today... and the magical cannon he saw in the G10 branch, all made his previously confident arsenal seem useless.

Doflamingo finally understood why the Navy had been taking more and more actions in the past two years. The reason was simply because their strength had changed dramatically!
After a moment of silence, Doflamingo spoke meaningfully.

"With this kind of weapon, your navy's goal is probably not as simple as the first half, right?"

"That's right!"

Ron nodded and said bluntly: "After the Five Elders gave their approval, the war airships have been built at full capacity. It will only take half a year at most to cover the first half of the G series branches. After that, the four seas and even the new world will gradually be equipped with airships and plasma cannons."

"In addition, there are pacifists and lightning stimulation devices to make up for the lack of high-end combat power..."

At this point, Ron raised his eyebrows.

"I think you pirates are really doomed... Even if ancient weapons don't come out, we can still end this great pirate era with our skyrocketing military strength."

"Roger is lucky, isn't he? He doesn't live in the same era as me. But you are more unlucky..."

"you!!"

Doflamingo gritted his teeth secretly, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the Dressrosa Palace, which looked more like a villa resort than a palace.

Ron watched him walk away, took the cigar from his lips, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

"So...what's next?"

"If you still use this kind of trick, don't blame me for killing that girl... so that you can't even be the king!"
