Admiral Smoker took the binoculars from a naval soldier and observed the situation in the harbor through the lens. The results of this battle were remarkable; the vast majority of the enemy had been wiped out by the artillery fire.
In the past, when faced with such troublesome situations, it would have required a naval admiral to enter the fray and use a wide-area AOE attack to deal with the mobs. But with the new battleships, things are different. If the enemy can't even withstand cannon fire, then these weaklings are not worthy of a naval admiral's intervention.
"Let me show you, Akin. This battleship is a true island-conquering marvel. If our navy were to equip itself with these ships on a large scale, there wouldn't be any island in the world that we couldn't conquer."
General Blue Serpent took the binoculars and observed the battlefield situation for a while, then added, "The power is great enough, but unfortunately it still has the same old problem: the accuracy of the artillery fire is problematic."
Battleships can fire their cannons several kilometers away, but their accuracy is questionable. If they are to attack distant targets at sea, they will most likely miss and end up in the sea.
During this artillery barrage to clear the port, some shells landed in the residential areas behind it, which may have caused casualties. However, these were necessary sacrifices, and the navy has done its utmost to minimize civilian casualties.
Instead of being confined to the ship's cabins by the Navy, the four Celestial Dragons were invited aboard the battleship to let these country bumpkins witness the new Navy's strategic weaponry.
Just over twenty minutes later, Dressrosa's largest port was completely torn apart by artillery fire, making the Celestial Dragons feel unreal. They knew that the Navy had the Buster Call.
To completely destroy a large island, naval vessels from five years ago would be merely a facade; the old ships were severely lacking in firepower, and only battleships could thoroughly destroy targets on the island.
"If these shells landed on the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, it probably wouldn't even take half a day," said Charles Saint, this mentally unstable guy, who actually made the connection to the Navy bombarding the Celestial Dragons' Holy Land with battleships, which earned him glares from the other three Celestial Dragons.
"Is this the power of technology? It can even give ordinary people such destructive power," Musgarud Saint pondered a question. He really didn't know where the Navy's ever-expanding ambitions would lead.
Ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, plus some Ancient Zoan users with slightly stronger builds, could withstand this kind of firepower for several minutes. The Navy is simply consuming its own ammunition; as long as the raw material supply is sufficient, ammunition can be produced indefinitely. Every Devil Fruit user who dies is one less to be eliminated.
There are only so many Devil Fruits on the sea, and it takes a long time to train an elite one. But if the Navy can take them out with just a few cannonballs, then the pirate forces will have suffered a huge loss.
Don Quixote Musgarud's sister being invited by the Navy to become a Navy Admiral might be a rare escape route in this unprecedented upheaval.
Chapter 146 Line Clone
The King of Men activated the power of the Founding Titan, causing most of the people attending the concert to transform into Titans, resulting in unimaginable destruction in Dressrosa.
During this process, Nami and Sanji dealt with a few Titans that ran into the venue. These Titans, who were not afraid of pain and were fearless of death, were simply Titan weapons born for war.
"Robin-chan may have underestimated the power of the King of Men, these damned monsters," Sanji said, standing on the head of a giant, having just broken off the attacker's head with a single kick using his Okama Kick technique.
"The weakness of these giants lies in their heads. Only by relocating the giants' heads can their self-repairing ability be stopped." Nami single-handedly killed two giants, dismembered them, and found the weakness of giantification by showing that some parts could be restored while others simply disappeared.
They also heard the roar of battleships' cannons and witnessed plumes of black smoke rising from the direction of the port. The Navy had already made its move on Dressrosa, and the Straw Hat Pirates could no longer delay.
However, Trafalgar Law did not intend to leave easily. The Shichibukai drew his sword, Oni-Ku, and pointed it at the Attack Titan. He wanted an answer: "Rami has also become a Titan like them. Since Eren is your power, you must have the ability to remove the Titan transformation from her."
To raise arms against the remnants of the former Flevans was something Law had never imagined, but Allen's answer quickly plunged him into despair.
Eren looked down at Law on the ground, and after a moment of silence, said, "Law, I'm sorry. Your sister will never turn back. Even if I die, Rami will always be in her Titan form."
"What did you say?!" Trafalgar Law had just reunited with his sister last night, but tonight Rami had turned into a monster who felt no pain. This emotional shift from elation to despair was driving the man crazy, and his anger had reached its peak.
"ROOM! Slaughterhouse!" Before the Straw Hat crew could stop him, Law activated his Op-Op Fruit space. He was going to pull Eren out of the Titan's body and make the guy who hurt his sister pay the price.
With a single, drawn sword, the Demon Cry swung its blade in the direction of the Titan, slicing Eren's Titan body into countless pieces. Law wanted to use this move to force the opponent to reveal a way to save Rami, as he firmly believed there was a way to save his sister.
The chunks of Attack Titan's flesh floated in the ROOM space. The Titan's rolling eyes curiously looked around this magical space. This was the first time it had encountered the power of the Op-Op Fruit, no wonder its partner was so nostalgic.
Just as Law was unilaterally torturing Eren, Sanji, the transvestite, sensed a monster with a large amount of ki within its body, which was heading towards their location.
"Law, stop right now! A monster is coming!" Sanji, the transvestite, was sweating profusely. Since leaving his master's sect and the transvestite kingdom, this was the first time he had seen a human with such a powerful aura, several times stronger than Luffy's.
Allen, whose head had been chopped in two, said regretfully, "I told you to escape when Luo was here. You wouldn't have had the chance if he had come."
A man wearing a flamingo cape floats in the sky, using his Devil Fruit ability to connect with the clouds, drifting endlessly through one cloud after another.
The man who haunts Law's midnight dreams, the man he will remember even if he turns to ashes, the murderer of his benefactor Corazon, was also a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and a former Celestial Dragon.
"Hehehe, Allen, I'm not late, am I?" This man, who was over three meters tall, made other humans look rather short in comparison.
Not only in height, but also in aura, this man easily overwhelmed everyone, exuding a terrifying aura. Inside and outside the light screen, we finally saw the final boss of the Dressrosa event.
Character Notes: King of Dressrosa, Shichibukai - Donquixote Doflamingo, Paramecia-type String-String Fruit user
"The timing was just right"
Doflamingo deliberately entered Law's ROOM space, his palm covered with black Armament Haki, and surrounded by black lightning, known as "Haki Lines".
Five white lines appeared from his five fingers, imbued with Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, forming an indestructible claw attack that tore five openings in Law's ROOM space from the inside out.
After the space created by the Op-Op Fruit shattered, Eren finally broke free of his restraints, his human body emerging from the head of the Attack Titan. He still had the red thread connecting him to the Titan below his eyes, and remained calm and composed despite the chaos.
Law tried in the ROOM space, but he couldn't move Doflamingo's body. The old Shichibukai's Haki level completely surpassed that of the newly promoted Shichibukai, rendering all methods of changing positions and launching sneak attacks useless.
"I'll give you one more chance, Law. If you join my family, you won't have to die today," Doflamingo said, stroking his chin with one hand and looking at his fellow Shichibukai with a playful gaze.
"Doflamingo, keep dreaming. You just want my Devil Fruit, right? I'll never let you have your way."
There's no point in wasting words with Doflamingo; Trafalgar Law was too lazy to exchange pleasantries. If he wanted a Devil Fruit, they'd have to settle things with their strength. Only the strong have the right to speak.
"ROOM!" The space created by the Op-Op Fruit expanded once more, lifting all the heavy objects within its range into the air. After being assembled in mid-air, they were all thrown towards Doflamingo's location.
Using the obstacle in front of him to distract the enemy, Law teleported behind Doflamingo, forming a short sword from gamma rays in his hand. As if the enemy was completely unprepared, the gamma sword successfully pierced the enemy's back.
“It worked… wait…” Doflamingo’s head spun 180 degrees as he looked at the brat who had ambushed him from behind. Trafalgar Law didn’t seem to have done any harm to him.
"Did you spot the problem? Your Thread Clone is enough to deal with you." After saying that, Doflamingo's entire body erupted with countless fine threads that turned into needles. Law, who had no time to dodge, could only subconsciously block his vital points. These threads, as hard as iron, easily pierced through the man's body, turning the attacker into a beehive.
Severely injured once again, Law used his last bit of consciousness to teleport himself to Sanji and Nami's side. This time, his injuries were compounded, and he was temporarily unable to fight.
Nami covered her mouth. In the woman's eyes, Law's body was riddled with countless holes, each one oozing blood. It was a sight that made people's scalps tingle and triggered their trypophobia.
"Nami, watch out!"
Sanji flashed to Nami's side, picked up his best friend, and teleported away again, thus narrowly avoiding Doflamingo's long-range white line sneak attack.
Law wasn't so lucky. Several white lines burrowed into his lower limbs, locking his leg bones and pulling him toward Doflamingo's position. This user of the Op-Op Fruit became a prisoner of the veteran Shichibukai.
Since it was just a single thread clone, Sanji and Nami were about to try to rescue the seriously injured person. However, what they had to deal with was not the thread clone, but two other Donquixote Family executives.
One was a bald old man over seventy years old, and the other was a middle-aged, obese woman with reddish-yellow hair. It was a fair match between them.
Chapter 147 The Resilient Leo
Doflamingo's clones took away Law and Eren, forcing Nami and Sanji to fight against Donquixote Family executives. Just as they had anticipated on the Thousand Sunny, the final boss was still in the royal palace.
These two members of the Straw Hat Pirates were just trying their luck at the concert, but they never expected to witness so many memorable moments.
According to the information gathered by Robin, Luffy and his crew were going to climb the King's High Ground to reach the royal palace at the highest point. However, they encountered an unexpected situation nearby, and a guide appeared in their group.
Usopp, who had the best eyesight among them and was the only sniper in the group, spotted a living creature tied to the stone pillar with just a glance. Judging by its size, it was no bigger than a child, only about the size of a palm.
"Is it a trap? Who put a bug on the pillar?" Usopp didn't care what was on it; getting to the palace with his friends was the most important thing right now.
However, the small, strange creature suddenly became excited when it saw the long-nosed man. Its small limbs, which were already nailed to the stone pillar with steel nails, actually endured the pain and tried to break free from this restraint, wanting to convey its voice to one of the men in the group.
The observant Robin was the first to notice this. "It seems there's something that needs our help," the woman said, raising her hand towards the magical creature. Her Paramecia-type Flower Flower Fruit power activated before everyone's eyes.
Four hands sprouted from the petals beside the magical creature. The four hands simultaneously grabbed the steel nails and forcefully pulled out the instrument of torture. Before the palm-sized object could even fall to the ground, it was caught by a large petal hand.
Countless arms formed a track along the way, relaying the little creature to the Straw Hat crew. As the adults carefully examined the rescued creature, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"I never knew children could be so small. His injury is so serious!"
Robin smiled and explained, "If I'm not mistaken, Luffy, this should be a Tontatta. This race is not very common on the sea."
The only doctor in the group, Chopper the reindeer, took out some bandages to stop the bleeding from his medical kit. This little man's injuries were too serious. Who could have tortured him like this?
It's a miracle that he's been able to hold on until now, with almost no flesh on his body, basically just skin and bones, and his limbs suffering such severe injuries.
It took less than five minutes to bandage all the little man's wounds. During this time, some liquid food was also prepared for him. This was all the best they could do under the current conditions, at least to get the little man to speak as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, the first thing this little man did upon waking up was to jump up and hug Utop's leg, weakly crying out with tears in his eyes, "Noland, Noland... you've finally come to save our race! Hero, please help us one more time!"
Noland? Everyone found the name familiar, but Usopp was the quickest to process it. Holding the dwarf in his palm, he said without batting an eye, "That's right, I am the descendant of the hero Noland. Tell me what's wrong, I am also a great hero who saves people from suffering. Call me Usopp."
The male tontatta cried even harder, finally finding a savior. He cried with snot and tears streaming down his face, "Usovanu, please save our Tontatta clan from Doflamingo's clutches! Please save our princess!"
Character Notes: Leo, Captain of the Tontatta Clan (Little People)
"Ah!" ×5, Amidst the surprised exclamations of his companions, and with Usopp's prompting, the little man revealed everything he knew.
Leo mistook Usopp for a descendant of Noland because these two people, who lived hundreds of years apart, shared the same long nose, a characteristic of heroes passed down through generations of the Tontatta clan.
Three years ago, he followed the toy soldiers and led all the warriors of the Tontatta clan to rescue their princess and the clan members who had been enslaved by Doflamingo. Unfortunately, their kind nature led them to be defeated by the simplest lie.
Most of the tribesmen who participated in the battle were either killed or wounded, and those who survived became slaves at the Smile Factory. Leo, as the captain of the Dwarf tribe, was captured after his rebellion and has been tied to a stone pillar ever since.
Living on dew and food brought by passing birds or insects, Leo miraculously persevered until now. He had given up hope of saving his clan. At this moment, he thought of the hero Noland, hoping that this hero would come to save the Tontatta clan again, just like before. He silently prayed for his arrival, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps his sincerity moved the heavens, for just when Leo was about to give up, a long-nosed human appeared in his field of vision. It would be strange if this little man was not excited that his prayers had been answered.
"The big liar Noland? Indeed, he didn't lie. We've been to the legendary Golden Country and even rang the Golden Bell. Now his descendants have washed away the stain on his reputation that he's carried for so many years." The adventure on Skypiea left the deepest impression on Robin, and it was the most important adventure that forged her bond with the Straw Hat Pirates.
At this moment, Luffy remembered the man who dived into the sea to search for treasure. "Wasn't that the uncle with poor health? Why is Usopp also a descendant of Noland?"
The straw hat captain surprisingly chose to believe the sniper on the ship at the first moment. Just like the little people, he was simple-minded and kind. He came to the palace to rescue people. Whether he rescued one more or one less, he didn't mind helping the little people out.
Usopp, a habitual liar, introduced his crewmates to Leo, "This is Luffy, this is Zoro... They are my crewmates, each one a great hero. You should treat them as well as you admire me. Only with the help of these people can the Tontatta clan achieve true liberation."
When Leo heard Usoland mention the word "liberation" at the end, the little man clenched his fists. He would no longer believe the lies of the bad guys. They were too wicked and had no bottom line, causing his people to be enslaved by the Donquixote Family again.
The Tontatta clan was enslaved twice by the Donquixote Family, a history of humiliation and suffering. The harm inflicted on the Tontatta clan by the Celestial Dragons is beyond description. In recent years, many female Tontatta with good looks have been made into specimens and sold. These demons will never be forgiven.
He tearfully accused the Celestial Dragons of their crimes against the Tontatta tribe, a tale so moving that it brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it. The six members of the Straw Hat Pirates were filled with gloom, and they gained a new understanding of Doflamingo's evil deeds.
Luffy walked up to Leo, gently took the little tontatta's hand, and said with a determined look, "I will help you defeat that bad guy Doflamingo, for the sake of your Tontatta clan, and for Law's sister."
"Thank you, Luffy Lando!"
The appearance of Leo, a Tontatta, strengthened the Straw Hat Pirates' resolve to defeat Doflamingo and liberate Texas.
