One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix - Chapter 438
c438 Victory in the first battle!!
A fierce buzzing sounded, and black shells filled with gunpowder smoke, like a grand meteor shower, tore through the wind and waves, forming a magnificent picture on the sea.
Hundreds and thousands of steel shells, black, with the blue sky as the background, formed a black skyline of unknown width, whistling and dancing.
Above the circular steel wall, the well-trained artillerymen of the NEO Navy, facing the steel torrent that could take their lives at any time, operated the cannon in front of them calmly.
Taking out a conical shell reflecting silver light, these elite artillerymen pushed the cannon into the chamber quickly, and then closed the tail.
“Calibrate!!”
In front of the black rain curtain, the steel heavy artillery was black, and the terrifying muzzle was raised, pointing to the red glow on the sea.
Bang bang bang——! !
One after another, like small meteorite fragments, countless shells disappeared from the eyes of the artillerymen on the high wall…
-Over the highest point, riding the speed of falling, they hit the surface of the city wall that looked like a solid mountain.
The magnificent flames shot up into the sky, and the deafening explosions were endless. The explosions one after another caused the towering city walls to shake violently.
It was too high. The height of the outer wall of the Divanstin Fortress had exceeded the maximum firing height of the World Government’s artillery.
That’s why the artillerymen on the city wall could maintain a calm expression.
“Fight back!”
“Let these rubbish that trample on freedom and justice also taste our anger!”
Mars’ angry voice came from the loudspeaker telephone bug dozens of steps away.
At an order, more than a hundred powerful heavy artillery fired together, and the sudden burst of amazing recoil set off white smoke waves on both sides of the gun body that first spread outward and then rolled up.
It was like a pair of huge wings spread out, covering the wide city wall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thick muzzles of the heavy cannons spewed out blazing flames one after another, and the flames connected to each other, forming a flame curtain that was hundreds of meters long.
The conical warhead broke through the white fog sea, dragging the orange-red tail flame and spiraling forward. The warhead surrounded by the visible white cyclone reflected a chilling light.
The high-speed flying shells continued to move forward, and the huge fleet that swept across the sea at a very fast speed changed its straight forward trajectory and fell down at an angle.
Boom boom boom–! !
The calm sea surface suffered a carpet-like intensive attack, and large-yield shells hit the seabed one by one, splashing large waves.
After a few breaths, thumb-sized red dots appeared in the dark and lightless sea, and then continued to expand and grow, like a slowly blooming flower of fire.
The flames kept approaching the sea surface, and the sea water gradually gushed out like boiling water.
The huge flames produced by the explosion broke through the restraints, and in the rain that was dancing all over the sky, huge mushroom clouds slowly rose up, and the flowing flames continued to erode the sea water, generating a large amount of water mist.
“Shoot!!”
One wave has not subsided, and another wave has risen.
The aftermath of the explosion just now has not subsided, and more than a hundred shells have rotated and fallen, passing through the surging clouds formed by the flames, and piercing diagonally into the interior of the warship hanging the flag of the “Sky Dragon Soaring Hoof”.
Boom–! !
The artillery pierced through the red armor like a sharp sword, and the huge shock wave shook the sea. The hull was torn into pieces, and the orange-red flames and thick smoke intertwined, swallowing the warship into the abyss, sinking into endless darkness in the swaying firelight.
One, two, three…
The raging flames suddenly rose up, immersing the sky in a gorgeous red glow. Between the rising and spreading flames, there were explosions that seemed to be enough to shatter the mountains.
Then there was another round of bombardment!
The huge silver-white shells flew again like the scythe of the god of death.
The sea was in chaos. Between the burning wreckage and floating debris, thick black smoke filled the sky, and flames danced on the waves. The blood and sea water intertwined into a tragic picture.
“CP’s waste, such important information was not discovered in time!!”
“Retreat! All troops retreat!!”
There were roars from the warships belonging to the Celestial Dragons. The commander of the Celestial Dragons, with a snow-white cloak fluttering behind him, shouted orders to the Den Den Mushi.
The soldiers on the warships were expressionless, and even their companions died beside them without showing any abnormality on their faces. They seemed to be machines without souls, executing the orders they received in an orderly manner.
Snap! Snap! Bang!
The commander looked at the cannonballs above his head, which were wrapped in white air waves and made a whirring sound. He swung the whip in his hand more diligently, and a series of angry curses rang out: “Waste! Trash! Hurry up!!”
The white uniform shirts were torn, and hideous bloodstains appeared one after another. These soldiers still accelerated their movements with expressionless faces.
Buzz——!
The void in front of him suddenly became blurred, and the flat space seemed to have changed. It was like a piece of white paper that had been crumpled, and curved lines were looming.
Bang! Bang! Bang! !
The cannonballs that were just like lightning, after passing through the blurred space, actually collided with each other two by two. Unstoppable power broke out in an instant, and a long dragon of fire immediately appeared in the sky.
Passing countless ships, it was located at the rear of the World Government Fleet.
At the bow of a huge warship that was 500 meters long, 100 meters wide, and all red in appearance, a man with a long knife on his waist and a gas mask on his face stretched out his palm.
On the top of one of the three thick masts of the warship, the middle mast, was flying a flag with two sharp swords embracing the “Sky Dragon Hoof”.
The Knights of God!!
The most violent organization outside the Five Elders of the World Government!
In addition to being able to judge ordinary criminals, they can even execute Celestial Dragons of the same race!!
It is the “Sword of Damocles” hanging over the heads of all Celestial Dragons under the command of Im.
Bang bang bang——!!
In front of the fast-moving navy and the fleet of the allied countries, the two fleets guarding Divanstin fired horizontally.
There were twelve cannons on the side of a warship. Although the power of these cannons was not as strong as the heavy cannons on the city wall, they were better than the World Government.
Twelve cannons! !
100 warships! !
A full 1,200 conical shells left the muzzle, burning with flames that could not be extinguished by the strong wind. It was a real rain of bullets, stirring up huge water splashes on the sea, and depicting a sad and charming picture of flames.
“Let them take action!”
“The strength of this group of ants has reached a point that we cannot ignore!”
“We still need these slaves to consume the enemy’s strength!”
“This war is suitable for beasts to fight!”
The four Five Elders agreed, and Satan Saint pressed the Den Den Mushi in his hand. The hatches of the two transport ships not far behind him slowly opened, and pairs of scarlet eyes full of wildness and cruelty slowly emerged in the darkness.
