In fact, although most of the world is covered by the sea, ships are also the main means of transportation from nobles to common people.

However, there are really not many naval battles in the true sense that have broken out in this world.

After all, limited by the technical limitations of weapons, the smoothbore cannons that fired round shells in the early days had almost no accuracy at a distance of 300 meters, so wars on the sea were basically based on boarding battles.

Battles with the main theme of battles between battleships basically do not exist.

At this moment, the entire battleship had moved sideways, and the two twin turrets at the bow and stern had also slowly rotated.

If it weren't for the fact that the main hull is still made of wood, this would really look like a battleship from the past.

At this time, Usopp was no longer on the front deck, but climbed to the observation deck at the highest position of the battleship and held a microphone for internal communication within the ship.

Li Yan was speechless as he watched Usopp keep talking about various parameters to all gun positions on the observation deck.

People in this world don't know how long their brains are. They can clearly see all the parameters of the opponent's distance, ship speed, etc. with just one pair of eyes without using any instruments.

If it were him, he would never be able to do this...

At the same time, ten kilometers away, the pirate fleet.

"That warship hasn't escaped yet?"

"Yes, and it also turned the ship sideways!"

Capo, the staff officer of the Blood Wolf Pirates who had a bounty of 138 million beli on his side, said.

"Captain, I have some bad premonitions. Have you noticed? This warship is completely different from the navy's standard warships, and even different from all the ships we have seen!"

"Not only that, look at the two turrets at the bow and stern of their ship. Are the barrels a little too long?"

Holding a telescope, Capo observed the warship while speaking to Garfield.

To be able to survive to this day and recruit three supernova-level subordinates, Garfield is certainly not a brainless person.

After hearing what Kabo said, he observed with a telescope for a long time.

"Yes, it is indeed not normal!"

"Seeing that our 25 pirates did not escape, this is a sign!"

"And such a unique warship is number two!"

"There are also those huge and strange naval guns, that's three!"

"With so many doubts, you really need to be cautious!"

"In this way, we don't want to rush forward and let other pirate groups try each other's strength first!"

After nodding, Garfield analyzed for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll go notify the captain!"

"It's indeed interesting. It seems that the guy who can kill Wesen and the others as well as Talos is really not an ordinary person, but that's fine. He has to be extraordinary to be qualified for me to hunt!"

After Capo left, Garfield continued to observe with the telescope, while raising the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to himself.

time...

It keeps passing by!

Finally, after ten minutes, the distance between the two sides was reduced to within five kilometers.

"Fire!"

As Usopp's voice traveled along the metal pipes and reached every gun position, the sailors, who had been preparing for a long time, simultaneously controlled the naval guns and fired the shells.

Boom boom boom boom boom...

A whole row of two main turrets and four auxiliary turrets fired at the same time. Even Taotu was frightened by this power.

The huge recoil directly pushed the entire warship sideways for about three meters. Fortunately, Adam's wood was leathery enough, and the hull was not damaged like the first test of this new main gun.

It completely withstood this huge recoil force.

"Quickly, readjust the hull, and at the same time, quickly load the shells at each gun position and prepare for the second salvo!"

Usopp's voice was once again transmitted to various departments of the battleship through the metal pipe, and the sailors also took action quickly.

With such a huge artillery power, even though he didn't hear the sound, Garfield still saw through the telescope the huge sparks that appeared at the mouth of each gun barrel.

What shocked him even more was that after the cannon was fired, the entire large warship was pushed several meters away by the recoil.

Such a scene made him feel very bad immediately. His eyes were fixed on the sky, trying to capture the location of those shells!

However, the pirates in other pirate ships did not think as much as Garfield did.

In their logic, this navy warship might be frightened by such a large fleet like ours, right?

Shooting at five kilometers, are you kidding us?

The pirates looked relaxed and did not take the bombardment seriously at all.

But just a few seconds later, they discovered that they were wrong...

How wrong!

At Usopp's level, coupled with this new rifled naval gun, the first wave of bombardment at a distance of five kilometers can achieve a hit rate of about 15%, and after subsequent corrections, it can even reach more than 25%.

Degree.

Twelve shells, with a sharp whizzing sound, quickly passed a distance of five kilometers, and finally smashed into the array of the pirate fleet.

Although most of them had few targets, they still hit one round and even fired two near-misses.

The pirate ship that was directly hit was not that big, just a medium-sized pirate ship.

The key is that he was very unlucky. The shell that hit him was fired from the 280MM cannon at the bow of the ship. It was so powerful and so refreshing...

After the shell fell, it penetrated directly through the deck and exploded in the lower cabin.

More importantly, this cabin is also the cannonball storage warehouse on the ship.

The huge power directly blew the pirate ship into two pieces, followed by an even bigger explosion caused by hundreds of cannonballs, completely tearing the pirate ship into pieces.

Pieces were broken into pieces, flying around, and finally scattered across the entire sea surface...

As for the other two pirate ships that were hit by near misses, although they were not that tragic, they were both near misses within 20 meters.

The hull of the ship was torn with holes, and sea water continued to pour into it. Even many pirates on the deck were directly shaken into the sea by the strong shock wave.

hiss......

Seeing this, even Garfield's hands holding the telescope started to tremble a little.

What the hell is this?

Could it be the legendary Hades?

Although Garfield had heard of the three ancient weapons, he didn't know much about them. He only knew that Pluto was a powerful battleship.

And when it comes to powerful battleships, isn’t this one in front of us?

That's why Garfield had such an idea.

If Li Yan knew that Garfield was wondering whether his battleship was Pluto, he would definitely be speechless...

not educated...
