Chapter 429 Porusalino: Smoker, I Want to Eat Fish, We Can Start Closing the Net!
At the ruins of the Nyabi King's Palace that had been looted and burned, Smoker, who came to support on behalf of the headquarters fleet, puffed out smoke with a sneer on his face:
"Are the firepower of these pirates so powerful? They are like the large-caliber artillery of our navy..."
The place where Smoker was standing should be the King's Game Room in King Nyabi's Palace. The reason why it should be said is because it is difficult to see the original appearance here, which was ravaged by artillery fire and was torn to pieces.
Smoker squatted on the ground, examining the stones stained with solidified blood, which came from the sacrificed guards in the palace of King Nyabi. Behind Smoker, the head of the local navy, a major, reported seriously:
"When the first wave of these pirates attacked, it seemed that they all chose to attack at night, just like the previous situation. They used cannons to attack when most of our sailors were asleep, and bombarded the palace...their The attack can knock down most of the palace wall in just one round and open a gap."
"After entering the palace, they took advantage of the panic of our sailors and palace guards to increase the scale and intensity of the attack... Such a vicious pirate attack has never happened in the East China Sea, so we have no way to organize an effective attack. The navy's protection was relatively good, but the palace guards suffered heavy casualties..."
Smoker raised his eyebrows slightly, smoked more than one centimeter of the cigar in his mouth in one breath, and after a moment of meditation, he asked lightly:
"Have those pirates appeared in the waters near here after this?"
The major nodded.
"Does your base have any fast boats with speeds exceeding 30 knots?"
Smoker asked again.
"Yes, there are two, but they are small boats with almost no weapons..."
The major felt something bad and subconsciously slowed down his speech.
"Very good, let's set out now to arrest these pirates and bring them to justice! I think we will be able to get some information from these pirates about the unusual turmoil in the East China Sea during this time!"
Smokey ordered sternly.
Upon hearing this, the major immediately said hesitantly:
"But... these two small ships that cannot fight alone may not be the opponent of those pirates, and you don't seem to have enough manpower... How about you call the main force of the fleet in the East China Sea first?" "
Smoker glanced behind him. He came out with only Sabo this time. The major also looked at the underage Sabo with a strange expression. To be honest, even if Sabo has a robotic arm that looks very intimidating at first glance, Smoker is also strong and powerful, but in his opinion, this time the fleet based in the East China Sea will provide support to the Kingdom of Niabi. It was no different from a mere formality, not even a formality - he didn't say enough, it was very tactful and very face-saving.
Unexpectedly, Smoker said calmly:
"That's enough. Remember to ask your subordinates to wear gas masks and don't hold us back."
"this……"
"Major,"
Smoker, who was just a captain, his eyes sharpened, "This is an order!"
The major from the Donghai branch had no choice but to leave as ordered, but when he turned around, his expression was very angry and disdainful.
Although Smoker noticed his reaction, he ignored him. He just stood there, took out the phone bug, and sent a message to Porusalino:
"The fish you want to eat will be prepared soon, General Porusalino."
The pirates' attack on King Nyabi's palace this time is obviously a signal that these pirates, who are secretly supported by the corrupt navy in the East China Sea, are out of control. There will be more incidents like this one in the future. A situation similar to a vicious pirate attack occurs.
If Porusalino hadn't been secretly controlling the situation, this would have been a problem for the fleet of elite sailors who came to the East China Sea from their headquarters. But since Porusalino has already arranged everything, the current situation, for the headquarters fleet, is more like setting a long line to catch a big fish and starting to reel in the hook.
The major quickly made arrangements, and Smoker took Sabo aboard two small boats that looked like they would sink without even taking a few shots. Normally, high-mobility ships were obtained at the expense of defense and firepower. Most of them are responsible for investigation tasks.
Most of the sailors from the local naval branch seemed to have no idea. They neither cared about the upcoming battle nor wanted to see Smoker's jokes. There were only a few guys who were whispering and looking ugly throughout the whole process of boarding the ship.
Smoker just took a bunch of trash fish and searched the sea for two days in a small boat, but he couldn't find the pirate ship. Unexpectedly, on the third day, a pirate ship took the initiative to find them.
Smoker stood on the bow of the ship and saw that the pirate group on the opposite side had slowed down a long way from the navy ship. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. The face of the major at the 107th Naval Branch Base of the Kingdom of Niabi next to him changed drastically:
"No! They are using...their artillery has a long range...they are going to fire on us!"
As soon as the major finished speaking, a cloud of fire and smoke appeared from the bow of the pirate ship in the distance - in order to make the fleet of the headquarters as busy as possible and have no time to take care of their problems, and at the same time, in order to prevent these things from causing commotion everywhere. The pirates were easily captured and confessed the truth. The corrupt navy in the East China Sea not only provided intelligence and "policy" support to these pirates, but also generously provided artillery and other weapons by selling them at a discount.
This is also the reason why the pirate Xivier who attacked the Nyabi Kingdom was able to blow down the palace wall with one cannon and easily enter the palace - various weapons of the navy, even for a "rural branch" like Donghai The old model is also significantly ahead of the pirates.
Of course, the major knew the performance of the artillery they sold, so he almost let it slip, so his expression changed drastically - ordinary ships simply could not withstand the bombardment of such heavy artillery. Even if they were not directly hit, they would just Hitting the side, with its power, the huge water column and waves raised were enough to overturn the small boat they were riding in!
(Damn it! I knew it!! These pirates are unreliable!! They are out of control!!)
The major felt regretful, but he didn't expect that Smoker beside him had already jumped into the air in front of the boat almost at the same time as the fire appeared on the bow of the opposite boat, and blocked the path of the cannonball!
"grass!!!"
The major's mouth was wide open, his eyes were splitting, and he roared uncontrollably - if the boat was overturned, and these sailors, who were average swimmers, could survive with a high probability by waiting for rescue, then as the headquarters Captain Smoker went directly towards the cannonball, which sentenced him and the sailors of the 107th branch to a tragic ending, even if they survived afterwards, they would be severely held accountable.
Although he didn't know what role Smoker held in the fleet that came to the East China Sea this time, he knew very well that Smoker was doing so for the purpose of supporting and investigating the attack on King Nyabi's palace. Came to his 107 branch. If something happens here, he will never be able to escape responsibility.
The next moment, the deafening sound made the major cover his ears tightly. The cannonball exploded directly over the boat. The air waves and shock waves alone caused the two small boats of the navy to sway this way and that.
After the shell exploded, a ball of orange-red flames and smoke appeared in mid-air, and Smoker's figure was directly swallowed by the flames. It seemed that no bones remained after being blown up.
"Captain Smoker,"
The major almost burst into tears, "Why are you so hard to think about? Isn't it good to pretend to be confused? Brother, you have really dragged me into the water now!!"
On the pirate ship in the distance, the pirate Xivier, who had been watching the movement here with a telescope, looked surprised when he saw Smoker taking the initiative to hit the cannonball, and asked his subordinates on the left and right in disbelief:
"That sailor... was the loser in their internal struggle? Was he voluntarily committed suicide?"
"I thought I had enough unique ideas, but I never expected that something like this would happen to me?"
"These marines are still awesome!"
——According to normal pirate thinking, after robbing something somewhere, especially after causing a big commotion, you must stay far away, the further away the better. However, for Xivier, who was released from prison and took the lead in firing the first shot at the East China Sea pirates' out-of-control pirates, his greed and boldness prompted him to lead his subordinates again a few days after leaving the waters of the Nyabi Kingdom. Kill and come back.
According to his assumptions, no one would think that he would come back again. Whether it's the Niabi Kingdom or the navy headquarters fleet in charge, they are definitely still dealing with the aftermath and blaming each other during this period.
Therefore, when he saw the two small naval boats that Smoker and others were on, he didn't take it seriously at all, and planned to fire a cannon to try - whether it was to trick these sailors, or to really kill them all. It's pretty good even if it's blown up.
But what happened immediately after was what really shocked the eyes of the naval lieutenant commander of Branch 107 and the pirate Seaver - when the fire gradually dissipated, more and more smoke appeared in the air, and then condensed into a human shape.
"Natural Devil Fruit!"
Pirate Xivier and the sailors at the 107th branch base had a term pop up in their minds.
The three monster generals that the navy is proud of are all users with natural devil fruit abilities. It is precisely because of their popularity, coupled with the popularization of information brought by some phone bug networks, that the name "Devil Fruit" no longer becomes a legend in the East China Sea, and it also allows these "country people" who are far away from the Grand Line to know about devils. One type of fruit, natural type.
"Sure enough, they are artillery shells issued by our navy, and they are still models that have been eliminated for less than ten years."
Smoker sneered and blew out the smoke. His lower body still maintained its elemental state, just like the devil emerging from the oil lamp in fairy tales. His upper body looked like it was being held up by a cloud of smoke. After he slowly landed on the boat, the elementalization was released.
At this time, Sabo handed over a large box of cigars with great tacit understanding.
After Smoker took the box of cigars, he took them all into his mouth in one breath, like a row of shotgun shells. After using the laser component in Ju's hand to ignite them all instantly, he jumped directly, and a large cloud of smoke spurted out from his waist, driving him towards the pirate ship in the distance.
No matter how pretentious and daring the pirate Seaver was, his face looked ugly at the moment, and he hurriedly roared and ordered his men to sail the ship and stay away from Smoker. He is well aware of the invulnerability characteristics of natural devil fruits, and he has actually seen it just now. Even the shells of large-caliber heavy artillery can't hit Smoker head-on. The combat ability he has mastered cannot be compared to Smoker. A worthy opponent.
…
By the time the two navy boats slowly approached the pirate ship, the battle here was over.
The pirate was unconscious, dead and injured all over the place, and the pirate Seaver was tied up and thrown on the deck. Smoker sat directly on him, holding a cannonball with no inscription erased in his hand.
Smoker still had the unburned cigar in his mouth, but he didn't care at all whether the sparks from the cigar would cause any danger. He put his face close to the cannonball, observed the cannonball attentively, and occasionally tossed it in his hand.
The pirate Xivier under Smoker had a gloomy and angry look on his face, but he did not dare to move at all, because any movement would very likely cause Smoker to miss and ignite the explosives - then, his body would be destroyed. Smoker, who has natural abilities, will definitely be safe and sound, but he will only be "full of ships" that may be bombed.
Regardless of the naval lieutenant commander from Branch 107 or the sailors under him, when they got on the ship again, they looked at Smoker in a completely different way.
There are those who admire, those who are afraid, those who yearn for, and those who are jealous. In short, it is very complicated.
"Saab, take a few people to the ammunition room and move all the ammunition and weapons to our ship,"
Smoker picked up the cannonball and gestured to Sabo, with a playful expression on his face: "We think it is necessary to send these pirate weapons and ammunition to some lieutenant generals for a look. They are very interesting..."
The navy, or the world government, which is in charge of the world's most violent force, will naturally sell arms from time to time. It can even be said that it is precisely because the amount of arms sold by the Navy and the World Government is so huge that the businessman "Deep Sea Current" Umit, who cooperates deeply with the World Government, will become the "Sea Transport King" one of the six dark emperors of the New World. , power spreads all over the world.
Even a little bit of meat that leaked out from the seam of the Navy's fingers was eaten by Vinsmoke Gaji who was hugging Polusalino's thigh. The Kingdom of Germa became the talker of the underground black market in the North Sea, and its revival was expected.
But even these two giants, when "selling" the navy's weapons and ammunition, must erase the "inscriptions" on all weapons and ammunition that have been eliminated within ten years - even if everyone knows what these arms are about. , but the face-saving work that should be done must also be done in place.
However, these corrupt navies and pirates in the East China Sea are too exaggerated. I don’t know if I think I won’t be caught, or if I think it won’t matter if I am discovered, in short, as long as a sailor is a sailor, he can basically figure out the origin of these things.
After Sabo took the sailors of the 107th branch and moved all the weapons and ammunition to the navy ship, Smoker sent them all back to the ship, leaving only Sabo and the major. Then he looked down at the pirate Xivier who was staring at the cannonball in his hand, lost in thought, smiled, and put the cannonball against his face.
Smoker pressed the bullet with one hand and picked up a cigar with the other hand, shaking the ashes on the shell.
Some soot fell along the cannonball onto the pirate Xivier's face, causing the muscles on his face to begin to beat wildly uncontrollably:
"Get it out of my head! I know what you want to hear!"
Smoker ignored the pirate Seaver's knowledge and asked with a sneer:
"How did you get these things? Are there any other pirates like you who have such firepower?"
Seeing that Smoker only asked questions but did not take any action, the pirate Xavier gritted his teeth and decided not to answer for now. But he never expected that Smoker would not tolerate him at all. He shook the cannonball pressed on the side of his head, took a lit cigar from his mouth, and pretended to stuff the cannonball into his mouth. Then detonate.
"Stop!!"
Pirate Xivier shouted quickly, no longer trying to be a tough guy with a bad temper, "It was the navy in the East China Sea that contacted me. They also placed these weapons on certain islands in advance, and then I went to get them myself! I just recently came from After being released from prison, most of the guys I knew are no longer here, so I don’t know how many other pirates have obtained similar firepower configuration... But it’s this group of marines who made plans to attack the world governments in the East China Sea. They are also secretly providing us with intelligence and other assistance as part of the country’s plan. They are the greatest evil!”
After hearing the last sentence, Smoker was silent for a moment, and then asked:
"Which specific navies assisted you? Name some specific names!"
"The person who contacted me and released me from prison was Captain Mouse from the 141st Marine Branch,"
Pirate Xivier said honestly, "He is the one who talks to these evil navy in the East China Sea!"
Smoker raised his eyebrows slightly, then glanced at the uneasy major from the corner of his eye, and blurted out more questions:
"Colonel Mouse and these marines support you in causing riots in the East China Sea. Are you not worried that you will lose control? Also, the vicious incident of the attack on King Nyabi's palace was your fault, right?"
"Because they don't have too much to worry about,"
Pirate Xivier gritted his teeth and said, his eyes full of red bloodshot eyes due to anger and excitement, "The fleet of the Navy headquarters is in the East China Sea, and the three vice-admirals of the headquarters will stay here for a long time. If we don't secretly support us, it will cause The strategy of rioting will only lead to a complete failure as they are already full of problems!”
"As for what happened in the Nyabi Kingdom, yes, I did it! But it wasn't my own initiative, but I got a signal from a bigger person! It was a big pirate!"
The major of the 107 branch was shocked. He couldn't think of the reasons and remedial measures that the big bosses of the branch gave him to give him after they knew the truth. He asked eagerly:
"What did you say? Big pirate?!"
