Bondi Wald's hand, which was gripping the barrel, suddenly froze, and he stammered:

"We can't be that unlucky as to run into a meteor shower, can we?"

He had barely finished speaking when he saw the meteorite, which came from outer space, heading straight towards the sea area where they were.

The group of hardened criminals glared at Bondi Wald, wishing they could tear his mouth apart. But reason told them that now was not the time for infighting, so they quickly raised their voices and shouted:

"Turn the rudder quickly!"

Several warships are large and difficult to maneuver. In addition, the serious criminals present were mostly captains of pirate ships before they went to prison. They were not used to controlling ships and had been out of practice for many years, so they were even more clumsy.

In reality, even without this flaw, their desire to turn away from this sea area is nothing but wishful thinking.

close!

Closer!

They only need to raise their heads to see clearly through the scorching flames and the meteorite's surface illuminated by the firelight. The uneven textures and small pits are fully displayed to the world.

The temperature in the air was rising steadily, quickly climbing above 100 degrees Celsius, making people sweat profusely.

At this moment, the hardened criminals on the warships felt only a chilling coldness in their hearts, a coldness that penetrated to the very core!

"BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!"

Amidst the deafening explosions, only fire and light replaced the colors of the night, becoming the sole protagonists of that instant.

"Crackling... crackling... crackling..."

The intense heat and flames scorched objects and flesh, producing a series of continuous sounds like firecrackers during the Spring Festival. At the same time, a foul, burning smell emanated from the air—a strange odor of molten steel and flesh burned to charcoal. Anyone who smelled it would vomit their dinner from the previous night.

Among these many serious criminals, the most unfortunate was San Juan Wolf, nicknamed the Giant Battleship.

San Juan Wolf has a size far exceeding that of an ordinary giant, comparable to Oz the Demon, which also resulted in him having a much larger area of ​​injury than others!

San Juan Wolf, like a giant human torch engulfed in flames, looked up and saw the massive, terrifying three-masted sailing ship approaching. He instinctively reached out towards the figure at the bow and hissed hoarsely:

"help me……"

Shiki the Golden Lion coldly watched this scene, uttering Yang Ming's voice:

"If you get any older, you'll be in trouble."

Chapter 272 Give them a little naval shock

"BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!!"

Six meteorites crashed onto the warship that the hardened criminals had seized, bursting into unprecedented light on the sea.

The energy released during the detonation is unknown, as it is equivalent to the detonation of tons of explosives. Outsiders cannot directly perceive it. Only the unfortunate souls at the center of the explosion have the right to speak on the matter. However, their fates are uncertain, so how can they tell you the truth?

Such enormous energy instantly transformed from a white dot into a massive fireball. The temperature at the center of the fireball rose sharply, as if one were in a crematorium. A pungent smell of burning flesh filled the air, causing a nauseating nausea that made one want to vomit up the night before.

Near the impact point of the six meteorites, the sea surface was bubbling due to the rapid rise in temperature, as if the entire ocean was boiling. A large amount of seawater was evaporated, gradually forming a vast fog.

Amidst the thick fog, a terrifying three-masted sailing ship slowly approached from the sky.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Dragon Ball. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

A lottery wheel slowly appeared, with three types of prizes: items, bloodlines, and martial arts skills.

Props: Spaceship, Dragon Balls...

Bloodline: Saiyan bloodline, Majin Buu bloodline...

Martial arts: Kamehameha, Kaioken...

[Six-Star Dragon Ball]: When all seven Dragon Balls are collected, Shenron can be summoned to make a wish. (6/7)

Through the perspective of Shiki the Golden Lion, Yang Ming could clearly see that amidst the swirling mist, a colossal creature was stretching out its arm towards him, muttering something under its breath:

"Help...me...help...me..."

San Juan Wolf was once a giant warrior in the giant kingdom of Elbaf. After eating the Paramecia-type Inflate Fruit, his body continued to grow taller, making him much larger and more imposing than ordinary giants. He was as terrifying as a humanoid walking warship, thus earning the title of Giant Battleship.

But the expansion of the fruit was both its strength and its weakness.

Due to his enormous size, San Juan Wolf was the most severely injured of all the hardened criminals, suffering extensive and severe burns all over his body. His skin was almost entirely carbonized in the intense heat of the flames, revealing a charred appearance, and the extent of his internal damage was unknown.

Even so, despite San Juan Wolf's seemingly dying appearance, Yang Ming could see through him at a glance that he was not actually at his last gasp and still had the strength to fight.

These remnants of the old era are physically inhuman and cannot be reconciled with ordinary people.

It's possible that San Juan Wolf's act of showing weakness to Yang Ming was a ploy to submit and thus join the Dark Night Pirates.

After all, when Yang Ming had previously made a bold statement asking them to join the Dark Night Pirates, apart from Douglas Barrett, the traitor, who was the first to respond, the others had no intention of doing so. Some even chose to run away together, already losing face. Now they could only pretend to be losers and adopt a humble posture.

Yang Ming pondered for a moment.

San Juan Wolf was one of the people he recruited into the Dark Night Pirates.

Despite his ugly appearance and seemingly simple-minded nature, his identity as a giant is worth exploring in depth.

As is well known, Elbaf, the Kingdom of Giants, is a closed country similar to Wano Country. It is extremely difficult for other races to trade with them, unless they gain the friendship of the giants and obtain a trading license to conduct business in Elbaf.

If even business activities are facing so many obstacles, then other things are even more difficult to manage.

Yang Ming is determined to unite the majority of people and will inevitably have to bind other races to his pirate ship as well.

Now, his plans on both the naval and human sides are gradually bearing fruit, and he only needs to proceed step by step.

Therefore, the matter of winning over and controlling other races needs to be put on the agenda.

Without a doubt, San Juan Wolf would play a crucial role if he were a pawn infiltrating the giant kingdom of Elbaf.

However, the behavior of San Juan Wolf and the other serious criminals made Yang Ming realize that in order to tame these wolves, he had to break their spines and make them grovel before him like dogs.

Otherwise, he would only recruit a bunch of ungrateful wretches, who might even secretly plot to betray him.

This is not what Yang Ming wanted to see.

He has many secrets, especially the secrets of the Dark Night Pirates, which are major pieces of information that all major powers want to uncover. In order to find the whereabouts of the Dark Night Pirates, the World Government has even ordered the CP organization to search all over the world, which shows how ruthless they are.

If these unruly and hardened criminals become restless after joining the Dark Night Pirates and secretly leak their whereabouts, it will only create endless trouble.

To nip this in the bud and prevent such a thing from happening, Yang Ming had no choice but to make do with San Juan Wolf.

Pretending not to hear San Juan Wolf's cries for help, Yang Ming remotely controlled the six Six Paths Puppets to raise their arms again, fingers spread, palms facing up.

After his journey through Wano Country, Yang Ming hunted down Kaido, King the Wildfire, and Queen the Plague. He then used the Spirit Capture Technique to extract their souls and place them into the corresponding Six Paths Puppets, enabling them to possess independent consciousness and act on their own.

Normally, Yang Ming left the six puppets to roam freely, letting them wander around.

During battle, Yang Ming no longer needed to expend as much mental energy as before. He only needed to understand the commands immediately. The Six Paths Puppet, which possessed its own consciousness, was like having the most advanced AI system loaded, able to execute Yang Ming's commands perfectly without any signal delay.

To put it simply, it's like Yang Ming was originally using 2G data, which would frequently disconnect due to the long distance, but now he's using 5G data, greatly improving communication efficiency.

The sky darkened again.

To the horrified gaze of San Juan Wolf and the other surviving hardened criminals, six more massive meteorites, each over two hundred meters in diameter, reappeared in the sky.

Originally, they harbored a sense of wishful thinking, believing that the meteor shower was a natural disaster rather than man-made, and that they were simply unlucky to have encountered such a rare meteor shower, which led to their tragic fate. Many of the serious offenders were quite resentful.

But now, witnessing firsthand how the Dark Night Pirates' officers possessed the terrifying power to summon meteors with a mere gesture, all the hardened criminals turned deathly pale in an instant.

Pirates with backbone like Barolok Redfield no longer hesitated. They quickly swung themselves off the wrecked and sinking warship and plunged into the deep sea to avoid the approaching meteor shower.

In the vast ocean, once you fall into the deep sea, your life and death are no longer in your own hands.

Unless absolutely necessary, pirates will not risk their lives most of the time.

Moreover, many of the hardened criminals here are Devil Fruit users. Once they are in the sea, not only will their Devil Fruit abilities be unusable, but they will also become weak and powerless, completely becoming fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Spineless individuals like Caterina Devon, the Crescent Moon Hunter, who is also a Devil Fruit user, have completely lost their previous toughness. They are now crying and begging to join the Dark Night Pirates, even willing to work for free or pay their own salary.

Unfortunately, all they faced was the indifferent Six Paths Puppet.

From the very beginning, Yang Ming had no intention of letting too many hardened criminals from Infinite Hell go, nor did he intend to bring all of them under his command.

Seeing that Yang Ming did not respond for a long time, some people cursed loudly, some took risks, and some fought back.

"If you want us dead, then I'll kill you first!"

Bondi Wald let out a roar, then suddenly pulled out a solid shot and gripped it tightly in his palm.

This former captain of the Wald Pirates wore an old-fashioned captain's uniform, a horned helmet, a scar near his eye, and a thick beard covering half of his face. He looked like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, and no one would guess that he was over seventy years old.

The reason he looks so young is that he was frozen for nearly thirty years. If this deep-sea prison incident hadn't been so sensational, he wouldn't have been able to escape.

As a Paramecia-type Multiply Fruit user, Bondi Wald can freely increase the speed and size of objects, up to a factor of one hundred. It is precisely because of its terrifying destructive power that, once it grows up, it will become a terrifying existence that disrupts the world order, hence it is known as the World Destroyer.

During the years he was imprisoned in the deep-sea prison, the World Government, in order to prevent future generations from maliciously imitating his deeds, even consciously erased any trace of his existence.

Over time, few people now know the name Bondi Wald.

The moment Bondi Wald threw the cannonball, the seemingly ordinary solid cannonball defied the laws of physics, its volume suddenly expanding a hundredfold and its speed soaring.

A typical solid shot weighs 360 kilograms, has a 280-millimeter caliber, and an initial velocity of 457 meters per second; everything about it seems unremarkable.

But when all these speeds are multiplied by one hundred, it would be a terrifying state of 36000 kilograms, 280 meters in diameter, and an initial velocity of 45700 meters per second!

And this was just the first shell!

Chapter 273 The brighter the sunlight, the darker the shadow it casts.

What is the power of a bomb magnified 100 times?

Perhaps this is a very unfamiliar thing for many people who have never been in contact with cannons, and they may simply understand it as the bomb's power being magnified a hundredfold when its size is increased a hundredfold.

If you think that way, you are completely wrong!

In this regard, we can take Yang Ming's previous life in the modern world as an example.

In Yang Ming's previous life, the world was technologically advanced and possessed the largest cannon in history, known as the Gustav Cannon. Including its transport vehicle, it weighed 1344 tons. The entire cannon was four stories high, 42.97 meters long, 7 meters wide, and 11.6 meters high. Operating the Gustav Cannon required the cooperation of 500 soldiers, along with specialized rails, to move and transport this behemoth and unleash deadly shells at the enemy.

The Gustav Gun had a barrel with a diameter of nearly 1 meter, and required two giant locomotives with a power of 1050 horsepower to pull it. The shells it fired weighed up to 7 tons, had a firing speed of 720 meters per second, and a range of up to 60 kilometers.

A single shot is incredibly powerful, capable of easily penetrating a 7-meter-thick concrete wall and tearing apart the defenses of a fortress. The power of 150 shells is enough to raze a city to the ground.

Now, with Bondi Wald's hundredfold increase, the shells in his hands weigh 36000 kilograms, or 36 tons, with a caliber of 280 meters and an initial velocity of 45700 meters.

The power of this shell is not just a hundredfold increase; it could easily raze a city to the ground!
