Chapter 403: Machinery! Undead! Legion!

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!!"

"Run!"

Countless screams rang out one after another, and this moment seemed to be frozen in time.

All the sailors on the shore turned around and tried to flee, with panic, fear, despair, and all kinds of expressions appearing on their faces.

A dazzling white light enveloped the earth, and the horrific explosion instantly engulfed the navy on the shore.

Fifty Pacifists exploded simultaneously, and amidst the stinging pain in the eardrums, all sounds seemed to have died down. The world was quiet, and the entire sky and earth turned into a vast expanse of white.

Boom! ! !
Then, with a deafening roar, a horrific explosion engulfed the coast.

The sky shook, the earth trembled, a black mushroom cloud mixed with flames rose into the sky, and super-high temperature wind pressure rushed out strongly.

A semicircular hole with a diameter of several hundred meters was directly blown out on the coast, as if it had been bitten off.

The bridge that Green Bull created using his ability, the thick vines extending from the sea surface to the shore, and the tips of the vines that were embedded in the ground were all broken in the explosion.

The sea water rushed in violently, the warships on the sea were shaking constantly, and there were wailings everywhere on the shore.

"Wow——!!"

"Help! Help me!"

“—Hiss!!”

A large number of navy officers were impacted and fell into the water. Most of the remaining navy officers stood on the broken bridge, looking at the tragic scene in front of them with panic and solemn expressions.

"Quickly send a warship to rescue!"

"Cover! Take cover!!"

"Medical team, hurry up!!"

The navy was indeed a force that specialized in large-scale warfare. As soon as the explosion ended, the fleet immediately responded. The three warships used their power to push away the turbulent sea current and moved forward.

Behind the battle lines.

"Report! The explosion casualties are estimated to be over 300!"

"Among them, the giant Lieutenant General Longzi and the pursuer Lieutenant General Maynard were seriously injured in the explosion while trying to protect their subordinates. The number of casualties among the remaining generals and officers is yet to be determined!"

"This bastard!"

Akainu gritted his teeth, his face gloomy, and looked fiercely above the clouds. Reiner was looking at him provocatively.

More than three hundred may seem like a small number compared to the 70,000 troops, but in fact.

Excluding medical, logistics, communications, navigation and other soldiers who are not directly involved in the battle, the actual combat force of the 70,000 troops is less than 50,000.

Although the lowest among these 50,000 are marines at the rank of petty officer, they are only responsible for providing fire interference and cover operations, and cannot directly participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Straw Hat Pirates.

The real main force of the battle was the officers of the colonel level and above who charged in the first wave, totaling less than two thousand.

As a result, nearly one-fifth of the troops were lost at the very beginning of the battle, and even the main force failed to successfully land.

Fortunately, they discovered and responded early, and most officers moved away from the pacifists in time, otherwise the casualties would be unimaginable.

Akainu ordered in a deep voice:

"Pass the order! Those who can use the Moon Step will be the first to reach the island. Have all the fleets press forward and prepare for landing!"

War is ruthless. From the moment it starts, soldiers are no longer precious lives, but just a string of cold numbers jumping on paper.

The only meaning of these numbers is whether sufficient results can be achieved!
"Yes!!"

The soldier saluted and quickly retreated.

"I didn't expect Vegapunk to cause so much trouble. I can't stand watching this any longer."

Kizaru stroked his chin and looked above the clouds in thought for a moment.

This time, he knew it was time for him to act without waiting for Akainu to speak, and immediately turned into a beam of light and flew away from the warship.

If he wanted to take down Vegapunk quickly, he might not even be able to get past Reiner from the front. Having made up his mind, Kizaru flew around the coastline at an extremely fast speed towards the back of the island.

"Oh no, Reiner!"

Putting down the telescope, Usopp hurriedly turned around and shouted:

"Kizaru seems to be moving! He's so fast, I can't track him!"

"He must be going to find Vegapunk."

Reiner thought about it and then said:

"Don't worry about him. Aokiji and three Seraphim are over there. We just need to deal with the navy."

"Frankie, how's the progress?"

As he said this, Reiner looked back and asked.

Franky looked over, grinned, and gave a thumbs-up:

"There are only a few left. The equipment has been debugged and you can use them in battle at any time."

To his left, various high-tech weapons with a metallic luster were piled up like a mountain.

On the right, huge undead beasts were lined up in groups, their fierce eyes emitting scarlet light and roaring softly.

There are lions, bears, apes, elephants, and many other ancient creatures, including mammoths, dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers. There are nearly four hundred huge beasts lined up in formation and ready to go.

Many of the beasts had parts of their bodies covered with mechanical metal, and had obviously undergone some modification.

Most of them were mutant creatures from the Golden Lion's research, and some were captured by Reiner while traveling around during his two years of training.

These are all ferocious beasts that he carefully selected and have extremely strong combat capabilities.

He had the idea of ​​transforming the undead long before, and Franky was even more excited about this. He has been happily transforming the undead for some time.

Unfortunately, people have money but nowhere to spend it at sea, and materials and equipment are in serious shortage and difficult to obtain. Frankie often complained to him about similar problems.

Until they left Wano Country, with the help of the large amount of resources obtained there, the transformation of this undead army composed of powerful mutated beasts was only nearly half completed.

But now, this is the research institute of the world's number one genius and the world government's largest weapons invention site. All problems will be solved in Egghead.

There are as many ready-made high-tech weapons and equipment as you want, and the obsolete laser cannon devices are piled up in the corner of the laboratory with no one paying attention to them.

There are even many new weapons that have just been developed but have not yet been tested.

When it comes to cloning humans, one may have to consider whether there will be any side effects after the transformation surgery and equipment. However, the undead are much simpler and rougher, and can be transformed at will without any hesitation.

Franky used a drastic approach, using hammers and long saws to stuff these weapons and equipment into the bodies of the undead. Any more caution would be an insult to the immortal body.

"Just in time, the navy's main force has begun landing."

Reiner turned around and looked down below the clouds.

Countless figures in uniform came together like a white wave. Without the resistance of the pacifists, the navy rushed to the shore like a hot knife through butter.

What they didn't know was that they were about to face an undead army that was a perfect combination of wild violence and technological weapons.

"Reiner Franky's—Machine! Beast! Undead! Frenzy! Big Battle!!"

“——SUPER!!”

Clang! !

Franky shouted excitedly, raised his pair of strong iron arms above his head, slammed them together with force, and raised his hips to strike his signature perverted pose.

“So handsome—!!”

Chopper's eyes flashed with golden light and his face was full of admiration.

Reiner glanced sideways speechlessly and ignored it.

With a thought, he controlled the army of undead beasts to move forward. One by one, they rushed out of the clouds and leaped down. From a distance, it looked like a black waterfall pouring down from the clouds.

On a warship about to dock, a soldier heard a sharp whistling sound of wind overhead and subconsciously looked up.

This sight frightened him so much that he froze in his tracks, trembling and pointing towards the sky.

"Then what is that?!"

"There's an attack!"

"Watch out in the sky!!"

At the same time, other people immediately noticed it and hurriedly shouted warnings towards the shore.

"Heaven?"

Hearing the sound, the soldiers who had already landed were confused at first, but when they looked up, they were stunned with shock.

Countless huge black shadows fell from the sky like cannonballs!

"W-what is that?!" "Get out of the way!!"

boom! !

boom! ! boom! !
The beast army used their huge bodies as artillery shells to launch suicide attacks, and the earth was shaken violently, with dust and smoke rising up.

“Help! Help!!”

"There's a monster!!"

"No, don't!"

Panic screams and wails continued to be heard from within the smoke. Through the thick smoke, the soldiers outside could see the outlines of ferocious beasts.

"It's the Black Snake Reiner's undead army!!"

"Guns and swords are useless! Use a bazooka!!"

"Don't get off the ship! Prepare the ship's guns immediately!!"

Many navy officers who had experienced the Battle of Marineford immediately recognized these beastly armies and began shouting orders.

Back in Marinford, these ferocious beasts also fell from the sky, causing huge casualties to the navy on the battlefield.

These behemoths were extremely ferocious, and ordinary soldiers had no power to resist them. They had to rely on heavy artillery to inflict any damage.

"Roar!!"

A wild boar about five or six meters tall roared, stomped its four hooves on the ground and rushed madly towards a small warship that was docked.

boom! !

The pair of huge fangs that curved upwards pierced through the hull of the ship fiercely. The huge wild boar pushed the ship upward with force, and wood chips flew everywhere. The bottom of the warship was directly lifted out of the water.

boom! ! boom! !
The violent shaking inside the ship detonated the impact shells, and the warship collapsed and disintegrated in the explosion and fire.

"fire!!"

boom! ! boom! !
The general shouted loudly, and the cannons of the warships nearby roared. The black shells quickly hit the huge wild boar and exploded!

"Be careful!!"

"These monsters are equipped with lasers!!"

"Get out of the way!!"

There were screams of panic one after another, and a large number of ferocious beasts fell from the sky to form rows of military formations. Dense golden light flashed from the military formations, and terrifying power continued to condense.

"You must be joking."

Countless lights came into view. A school officer who had just landed on the shore had dilated pupils and stood there in despair.

“How can this be avoided?”

call out!call out!call out!
Whoosh! Hundreds of lasers fired simultaneously, and the golden beams intertwined into a net. The dozen or so warships closest to the coast bore the brunt of the attack!
boom! ! boom! ! boom! !

The laser pen shot straight into the interior of the ship, and almost at the same time, dozens of warships burst into violent flames!

Broken branches and wood chips flew all over the sky, thick black smoke filled the sea, and the broken ship slowly sank into the sea.

Countless soldiers clung to the railings, or lay on the tilted deck, or swam hard to escape the fate of being crushed.

"Hurry and save people!!"

"Artillery cover!!"

“Charge forward!!”

Even in the face of the sudden arrival of the undead beast army, the navy's overall formation was not disrupted. Those who rescued people rescued people, and those who charged continued to charge.

Although their individual overall strength was inferior, the overwhelming numbers and the covering firepower of the warships still gave them enough confidence, and they quickly organized another round of attacks.

"Roar!!"

Under Reiner's control, the ferocious beasts in the front row that had just finished firing lasers roared ferociously and rushed out madly with an unstoppable momentum.

Sharp teeth and claws flashed with cold light as hundreds of ferocious beasts rampaged through the navy, each swing of their claws and tails carrying unmatched power.

The navy was equally unwilling to be outdone. Various rockets and heavy artillery bombarded the beasts, and the thousand-meter-long coastline was suddenly plunged into a brutal battle.

A barrage of shells crossed the sky, and on each warship there were dozens of naval guns roaring continuously.

boom! boom! boom!
With the roar of artillery fire and the soldiers fighting hard on the shore, the navy even showed an overwhelming advantage in facing hundreds of giant beasts.

However, it was still raining wild beasts on the shore. As the first row of beasts rushed out, the second row of beasts gathered together and formed an array.

Hundreds of ferocious beasts opened their mouths, revealing their sharp fangs, and dazzling golden light began to condense again.

"Be careful with the lasers!!"

"The laser beam is coming again!!"

People in the navy kept shouting loudly, but there was no need to remind them. The accumulated power of hundreds of lasers was enough to illuminate the entire coast in gold.

call out!call out!call out!
Whoosh! Dozens, hundreds of lasers shot randomly across the sky. They didn't even need to aim. To the undead, there was no distinction between friend and foe.

boom! ! boom! ! boom! !

Beams of lasers shot into the battlefield or towards the warships firing on the sea. The violent explosions were accompanied by endless wailing, and set off strong wind pressure shocks.

"Moonstep!!"

On the devastated battlefield, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel stepped on the air and rushed to a giant double-bladed mantis along a predicted route.

"Sword Draw Slash - Flying Scythe!!"

锔——!
The blade at the waist was quickly drawn out, and with a flash of cold light, the mantis's scythes and body were cut in half, and it slowly fell to the ground.

After the flying squirrel landed on the ground, it looked towards the shore and said in a serious tone:

"These guys are even more troublesome than they were two years ago. Where do they get so many laser weapons? They're not just something you can find everywhere."

"Don't forget this is Egghead. It's not surprising if there are more of these things."

Smoker stared at the beasts fiercely and said coldly:

"If we continue to let them fire lasers recklessly like this, our casualties will probably skyrocket."

"Call the other lieutenant generals and major generals to join us!"

After saying that, Smoker's lower body turned into smoke spray, and his whole body turned into a white rocket and flew out rapidly along the ground.

"Major generals and above, assemble!"

The flying squirrel shouted loudly and then rushed towards the herd of animals.

Hearing the sound, a large number of lieutenant generals and major generals followed.

Chaton Kaji dodged several lasers with a flash of his body and came to the side of a saber-toothed tiger, with his hand knife covered with armament color.

"Ghost Finger Spear·Pig-Thrust!!"

The hand knife pierced into the tiger's body and knocked it away, and it hit the mountain wall and slid down like a puddle of mud.

Taotu Zhiyuan's long sword dragged on the ground, sparks flew out, and he rushed into the herd of beasts, leaped high, and swung the sword quickly towards the laser that was condensing below.

"Zanyue Feimao!!"

The dense flying slashes fell like a torrential rain, like countless red scimitars sweeping across, easily cutting through the rough fur of the giant beast.

Smoker's hands turned into rolling white mist, spreading out from the ground and enveloping dozens of giant beasts.

"White Fire·Smoke and Dust Explosion!!"

boom! ! !
With a flash of fire in the white smoke, a large area of ​​thick fog exploded violently.

The terrifying high temperature and wind pressure rushed out with ashes, and even the friendly forces nearby were almost affected.

Gion raised her hands to cover her face, and shouted in a dissatisfied tone:

"Stop messing around, idiot!!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Stay away from me!"

Smoker shouted unceremoniously, then rushed into the herd alone.

Under the powerful attack of the three general candidates, a gap was quickly torn in the herd, and other generals took the opportunity to rush in.

"Rain Legs·Zhou Duan!!"

"Ten Finger Gun·Snake Fang!!"

"Sound Soul Explosion!!"

This elite team of 100 men, composed entirely of lieutenant generals and major generals, turned into the sharpest swords and pierced into the beast herd.
