Chapter 228: Boom! (14)

Capone Island, outside the castle.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Three fine steel cannons burst into flames, and the solid iron bullets hit the hard stone, creating a hole with each hit!

The Capone gangster soldiers hiding behind the wall were covered in dust and waited for a break in the artillery fire to immediately order a counterattack.

"Fire! Blow them to death for me!!"

"It has always been the Capone gang that bullies others, no one can bully the Capone gang!"

"Come on, all of them! Kill them!"

Whoosh...whoosh...!
Boom...boom!!!

The ships and islands were still, the sea and the sky were still, the only things that moved were the black cannonballs flying back and forth between the castle and the pirate ship.

Explosions, smoke, and fighting vividly depicted a low-level naval battle that Ron had only seen in movies and TV shows.

The Babao navy and the Capone gang had a harmonious and friendly exchange about the reserve of artillery shells. Then the pirates belonging to Qibao and Babao landed from the blown-up corner of the wall, poured into Capone Island, and fought hand-to-hand with the enemy.

In the world of One Piece, where individual force is beyond compare, even though "science" has existed for hundreds of years, the development of technology is still frighteningly backward. Even the war has become a template of kings fighting kings, generals fighting generals, and brute force flexing muscles.

"What a boring and old-fashioned way of fighting a war..."

On the sea far behind the Capone Island Fortress, Ron observed the battle situation through his Observation Haki and felt deeply moved.

We are used to seeing the navy "bullying others with its power", and now looking at the simple artillery used by the Babao Navy, the difference is obvious.

The artillery used by Capone's gang had a longer range and was more accurate than theirs, but it was still not free from the constraints of the times.

If we don’t take high-end combat power into consideration, Ron feels that the Qilin can defeat ten such opponents!

Fortunately, the Flower Kingdom, supported by the Eight Treasures’ navy, is equivalent to a local rich man in the West Sea, and their personal military strength is unrivaled in the entire West Sea!
Even though their equipment is not as good as Capone's, they are still unstoppable after the high-end combat forces such as Lao Cai join the battle! Huo Hai, the pillar of Erbao's navy, has a pair of powerful fists. No enemy can survive a second round under him!
Henry stayed beside Ron. He put down his binoculars and said to him happily, "Lieutenant General! They have rushed into the castle. Do you think we should..."

"If you want to go to court-martial, go ahead. Bye!"

Ron drank his tea calmly, ignoring Henry's suggestion.

Henry's face fell, he smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

It would have been fine if Zhan Guo didn't know about their actions. He could have taken the opportunity to rush in and plunder their money... After all, they are criminals, so who can guarantee their money?
Unfortunately, Zhan Guo already knew about this, and the inspector sent by the headquarters was said to be on the way.

If Ron dares to embezzle...

"Hey, even if there are few mosquitoes, it's still meat!"

Giving up the idea of ​​taking advantage of the opportunity to rob the Capone gang, Ron ordered: "Notify everyone to go around from the back and attack from the front and back with the Babao Navy!"

"Yes!"

Henry stood at attention and saluted, ready to convey the order.

But before turning around, he suddenly remembered something and asked hesitantly, "By the way, Lieutenant General, why are you sure that Qing Jiao will send someone to cause trouble?"

And it’s an important place like an armory!
If the deputy pillar named Abu had not had any evil intentions at the time, even if he had given the navy a laxative as a harmless joke, they would have had no reason to attack the forces of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, let alone call for support from the airship force.

Is Abu Ron's spy?

Deliberately cooperating with him in acting?
Henry himself found this idea ridiculous, but it was the only answer he could think of. Unable to figure out Shangguan's thoughts, he hadn't slept for several days, and finally asked him today.

In response, Ron glanced at him calmly, and before the latter's whole body was almost drenched in cold sweat, he slowly spoke.

"You know what, Henry? The patrol deployment on the navy ship is different when it is stationed near an island and when it is sailing."

"This is not a personal habit, but a rule in the officer's manual that must be followed!"

Hearing what Ron said, Henry suddenly understood!
Because after they docked, their patrol deployment remained the same as usual!
And the biggest anomaly is that it’s the same as usual!

Especially the arsenal!

The level of defense between the two is completely different!
As a pirate, Qingjiao must not know the tricks of the navy's various regulations. Didn't you see that even Henry needed Ron to remind him? So Qingjiao just thought that the other party's patrol was so lazy that he could take advantage of it, and didn't think deeply about it. So Ron used a trick to lure Abu into the trap... After a few days of contact with people who can be trusted by Qingjiao and can carry out this disruptive plan, even Henry can recite the list by heart.

And once Abu is caught, given their relationship, Qingjiao will not be able to turn a blind eye.

hiss……! !

As expected, he is Lieutenant General Ron!
Henry shuddered, saluted, and trotted away.

……

Capon Island, at the castle lookout.

Capone Becky's face was as black as ink, and his fingers squeezed cracks out of the windowsill made of fine wood.

"Have you found out? Why would the Babao Navy attack us?!"

Qingjiao had placed an order with them just over ten days ago and brought back a batch of goods. Unexpectedly, the other party attacked without saying a word, and it was so sudden that the Capone family had no time to react.

"Sorry Godfather..."

Witt's expression was equally grim. "At first I thought it was the people below who sold them defective products, but after investigation I found that it wasn't the case. What do you think... could it be that because Lao Cai became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Kingdom of Flowers wants to rule the West Sea and is targeting us?"

It is precisely because Lao Cai became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea that the Flower Kingdom will inevitably begin to expand, so Capone Bege sells arms to that small country at a very cheap price to tell the Flower Kingdom that your weapons need to be updated!

The ending was a happy one. The destruction of several hired pirate groups did not cause any backlash in the Flower Kingdom, and Qingjiao decisively placed an order.

But who can tell him why they are the first target of the Flower Kingdom's expansion? !

Do you really think he's easy to bully?!

"Humph! Do you think you are invincible just because you are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? The West Sea is not a place where one person can conquer the world with force!"

Becky also felt that this was the biggest possibility... During the years when he was in charge of the Capone family, there were many hyenas who had their eyes on his business and wanted to get a piece of the pie, or even robbed it and got something for nothing.

It’s just that previous enemies weren’t as strong as the Flower Kingdom. The “Cone Green Pepper” of the Eight Treasures Navy was considered the top figure in the Grand Line, not to mention the West Sea.

"Since you dare to come, don't blame me for being rude!"

Becky gritted her teeth, put on a black suit, turned around and left the observation deck, and Werther followed immediately.

Capone Island can no longer be defended. The Flower Kingdom has the advantage of sneak attacks and top combat power. The existing remaining forces cannot stop it and must be abandoned.

But this does not mean that the Capone family is finished. They have been rooted in the West Sea for many years. Capone Island is just an ordinary island with symbolic significance where the Capone gang made their fortune.

If you fail to kill the snake, you will suffer the consequences. Becky will let the Flower Kingdom know the consequences of provoking him in the West Sea!

Bang, bang! !
Suddenly, with two explosions, the castle shook violently. The two were caught off guard and stumbled, holding onto the wall beside them and finally managed to stand firm.

"Godfather, are you okay?!"

Witt asked anxiously, the explosion made his head dizzy.

Becky also felt bad and shook her head. Then, Becky took out her Den Den Mushi with an unpleasant look on her face and asked.

"What happened outside?!"

It is impossible for the Babao Navy alone to have such powerful firepower!
That was a technique he hadn't mastered either.

Are there other enemies?

“Cough… cough cough!!”

On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, the gangster soldier who was lying in the communication room with a bloody head coughed and grabbed the Den Den Mushi, shouting: "Run, Godfather! The navy... the navy is coming!!"

hiss! ! !
Becky's pupils shrank.

navy?!!
