Chapter 237 Pirates Arrive
Alice, who had long red hair and an extremely exaggerated figure, saw Aoki and walked over.
"Mr. Aoki."
Aoki nodded.
"General Alice, the ship you built may not be able to sustain a long voyage!"
After polishing it in every possible way, it may be able to barely float.
But what's the use?
In the new world where the climate and sea currents are so harsh, such a ship would probably be shattered into pieces if a wave hit it.
Unless you are extremely lucky, taking this ship to sea is no different from seeking death.
"No matter how bad it is, it's better than staying here and waiting to die!"
There was some strong emotion in Alice's voice.
Aoki glanced at her and said nothing more.
"Don't worry too much, Mr. Aoki"
Alice pointed to the side.
"If the big ship doesn't work in the end, we can still leave in these small boats."
Looking at the canoe-like boat, Aoki's lips twitched.
If he really had to choose, he would still be willing to take the big ship.
The big ship can at least give it a try and try its luck.
This kind of small boat really has no insurance at all. Just a little wind and wave will result in the boat being destroyed and everyone killed.
"It's not good! General, it's not good!"
At this time, a man ran over here in a hurry, shouting as he ran, and his panicked voice suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
Alice took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "What happened?"
The visitor gasped, a look of horror appearing on his face.
"The pirates are coming!"
These four words are enough to explain it all.
Many people have a feeling that the stone has fallen to the ground, there is no need to worry anymore, the worst has already happened.
"It came so quickly!"
Alice glanced at the strange-looking ship, raised her hand, and waved it down heavily.
"Everyone, pick up your weapons and follow me to meet the enemy!"
"yes!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Their weapons ranged from kitchen knives to wooden spears, and they looked very unprofessional.
But the momentum is very strong.
Including the correspondent who had just been frightened, he also regained his courage.
Aoki followed quietly.
Before reaching the coast, the roar of artillery fire was heard far away.
Passing through a forest, the vision suddenly opened up.
On the sea surface, outside the pier, there were two ships parked, both flying pirate flags, and they were unleashing firepower on the coast.
The beach was completely covered by artillery fire, with smoke billowing and flames rising into the sky.
Alice hides behind a rock.
Boom!
A cannonball fell next to her, and fire shot into the sky. The strong shock wave made her chest feel tight. Just as she was about to speak, she was stuffed with sand and dirt.
"Those bastards!"
Alice hammered the rock, her face filled with anger: "I'm going to kill them!"
With that said, she was about to rush outside.
At this moment, Huck came out of nowhere and grabbed Alice.
"Your Highness, they have not docked. The ship is parked at sea. You can't get through them by yourself."
Alice calmed down.
"Then what should we do now? Let them bomb like this?"
"Of course not."
Huck shook his head: "Let everyone spread out, their firepower looks fierce, but in fact there are only two ships in total, and the coverage is limited.
As long as we don't get together, the artillery poses little threat!
When they run out of ammunition, they must land, and that's when the battle begins. "
"I see!"
Alice waved her hand and shouted: "Disperse! Everyone, disperse!"
Everyone worked hard, but the pier was not destroyed.
Although it was very unprofessional, at this time, no one was scared to the point of weakness and took action one after another.
On the sea.
The two pirate ships opened fire wantonly.
Loading, aiming, igniting...the pirates on the ship are all very busy,
But there were two people standing on the bow of the boat, holding cigars in their mouths, looking at the islands ahead.
The man with curly black hair and a leather jacket exhaled a puff of smoke and cursed: "Didn't you say that mad dog was impulsive? Why is there no fucking movement after bombing for so long?"
Next to him, a man wearing gorgeous armor and holding a broad-bladed sword looked indifferent.
"She was very impulsive, but there was an old fox with her."
The curly-haired man is in a bad mood.
"Then what should we do now? Are we going to continue bombing like this? How about we just rush over and kill them directly!"
The armored man was unmoved.
"Are you going to deal with that woman? Although she is full of muscles, her strength cannot be underestimated. If it weren't for her, Etania would have been destroyed long ago!"
The curly-haired man scratched his hair irritably.
"But there's no point in continuing to explode like this!"
"Then let's change the goal!"
A sneer appeared on the armored man's face
“Our goal is not to kill them, but to prevent them from leaving and wait for the boss to come!
Didn't you observe them building ships before?
People can hide, but not such a big ship. Blow up the ship and see how they can escape! "
"Hahaha, this is a good idea!"
A cruel smile appeared on the curly-haired man's face: "When they see the ship they worked so hard to build being blown to pieces, their expressions will be very exciting."
The order was given.
The pirates immediately changed the shooting angle, and the shells flew over the coast, flew into the ancient town of Shuigu, and landed on a ruined ruin.
With a loud bang, the ruins collapsed completely.
"Continue!"
The armored man ordered coldly.
The pirates quickly began to reload.
At this moment.
Several black shadows suddenly fell from the sky and hit the barrel accurately.
Boom!
The cannon was flattened, a huge crack appeared, the shells inside were detonated, and balls of fire came out of the ship. The pirates nearby lost their lives directly.
The armored man and the curly-haired man were also startled.
A cannon exploded next to them, and the barrel broke into pieces. One of the fragments flew past the curly-haired man's head.
Touching his head, it was sticky, and the curly-haired man was shocked and angry.
"What the hell is going on? Why did the cannon explode? Are your brains filled with shit? If you don't want it anymore, I can unscrew it now!"
A pirate next to him explained in a trembling voice: "Just now, a few things suddenly fell from the sky and hit the cannon."
The curly-haired man's expression instantly became like a devil. Just as he was about to roar, the armored man stopped him.
"Is it this thing?"
The curly-haired man suppressed his anger and looked over. A black metal block was embedded in the deck, which was obviously not something on their ship.
"What the hell is going on? Is it really raining rocks from the sky?"
He was just irritable, not stupid. He noticed that something was wrong at the beginning, and just vented his anger just now.
One or two people may make mistakes in operation and cause the cannon to explode, but all the cannons on the two ships were destroyed at the same time, which is obviously abnormal.
"It may be a capable person!"
The armored man turned his head to look at the ancient town of Shuigu, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were cold.
The curly-haired man said, "I don't remember any people with special abilities among those who escaped!"
"Maybe they just happened to find a devil fruit, or maybe someone else is helping them."
The armored man said, "Whatever the truth is, the ability of this person with special abilities should not be too strong.
Otherwise, he would not have to secretly destroy the cannon, and could just attack us directly!"
"What should we do now?"
The curly-haired man asked.
The armored man raised his broadsword.
"Since the cannon is destroyed, we can only attack!"
The curly-haired man laughed cruelly, "Hahaha, it should have been like this a long time ago!"
At the same time.
Aoki held a fist-sized piece of black metal in his hand.
"It's fine to blow up the coast, but what's the point of hitting inside? Can you afford to pay for destroying my mythical beast devil fruit?"
