Because of the large number of searchlights, the pirates had to give up the idea of continuing the bombardment.
After all, if you are facing directly, you will not be able to see the situation clearly in front of you, and you will not even be able to open your eyes.
Unlike Zefa, they still have sunglasses to wear.
Under the guidance of the Sixteenth Branch, the fleeing sailing ship finally entered the fortress.
Immediately, the fortress gate slowly closed, and the searchlights no longer directed the two sailing ships.
This scene directly angered Gladius.
He also saw that although the navy on the opposite side would not attack them directly, he would not be able to arrest them if they did so.
Unless we really attack this naval fortress.
Originally, he had nothing to worry about attacking a naval branch spread all over the world.
But the appearance of large navy warships still made him murmur a little.
If there really was a lieutenant general on board this warship, I might not be able to get a favor from him.
I had no choice but to use the phone bug again and contact Doflamingo again.
Hearing this, Doflamingo also frowned slightly, and then asked Gladius to wait a moment before contacting him again.
Just a minute later, Doflamingo came over.
"Gradius, I have confirmed that no vice-admiral from the Navy Headquarters went to the East China Sea to inspect. That warship was bought by Sean Campbell with his own money, which means that there are only Sean and at most one hundred people on it.
Marine!"
"So that's it, then I understand!"
"Well, there's nothing to worry about. Just do it and bring the person back as soon as possible. I'll handle the aftermath!"
"Yes, young master!"
After hanging up the phone, Gladius breathed a sigh of relief.
He had no doubt that Doflamingo could confirm the information so quickly.
Isn't this normal operation for the Don Quigote family?
"Have you heard what the young master said? There is no Vice Admiral on the other side, just a rich descendant of a noble from the East China Sea!"
"Then let's kill him directly?"
"No, it is a large naval warship after all. Slowly approach it, wait until the distance is close enough, and then launch a sudden bombardment!"
Shaking his head, Gladius said.
After all, the distance is still one nautical mile.
It would be absolutely stupid for him to attack at this time.
Because at this distance, their cannon fodder can hardly pose any threat to the opponent.
But the large warship opposite could easily bombard itself.
Even though the cannonballs and the like were not scary as long as I was there, I could only protect one sailing ship, and the other one would definitely be sunk.
They advanced slowly, pretending to negotiate, and after the distance was reduced to within 300 meters, the two ships opened fire at the same time, catching the other side by surprise.
This is the best choice!
The two sail warships just moved closer to each other, not very fast, and they did not make any hostile moves.
The first thing people feel after watching this is...
It should be for negotiation, not anything else.
As time passed, the distance between the two parties finally came to within 300 meters.
"Now, fire!"
Boom boom boom boom...
Although not as powerful as naval warships, each of Gladius's two sail warships also has eight naval guns.
Even if it is not a special naval gun installed on a fixed base like that on large naval warships, but is just a land artillery pushed onto the ship, it is still accurate at a distance of less than 300 meters.
Gladius was very confident about this attack.
However...
However, the vacuum chopper was released from three positions on the navy warship one after another, accurately hitting the incoming shells and exploding them all in the air.
"Arashiji of the Sixth Marine Formation, and there are three more of them!"
Gladius' eyes narrowed!
Maybe the people in this area of the East China Sea are too inexperienced and don’t know the Sixth Form of the Navy.
But how could a pirate in the new world not know?
There are even many pirates who can use a few tricks to come out.
Therefore, Gladius recognized immediately that those vacuum chops were not the swordsman's chops, but were caused by the Lan Kou in the Sixth Marine Style.
The most important thing is that at least someone on the opposite warship knows how to use Lan Jiao, and judging from the vacuum chop they released, the strength of these three people must not be too bad.
"Charge forward at full speed!"
"yes!"
At this time, I couldn’t care too much.
Gladius asked his men to speed up while letting the sailing battleship continue to fire.
According to Doflamingo, there should be only 100 official marines in the 16th Branch at present, and I still have the numerical advantage.
Because there were a full 300 pirates on board the two sail warships.
You must know that these 300 people are not pirates from places like the East China Sea, but pirates who hang out in the New World. Even if they are also minions, they are still minions who can challenge the navy of the headquarters.
If we talk about the power value, these minions are usually between 12-15.
------
Just when Gladius commanded the two sailing ships to charge.
On board the large warship of the Sixteenth Branch...
"Has all the evidence been photographed?"
"It's all captured, Brigadier!"
On the side, the sailor holding the image phone nodded and responded.
"Very good, then we can let go and move closer!"
"Yes, Brigadier!"
On the foredeck.
In addition to the sailors who are operating the warships, about 80 fully armed sailors have been assembled.
In front of them were Lucci, Kaku, and Gabra.
Behind the warship, on the defensive wall of the fortress, the training camp instructors who had received the news had already woken up all the recruits and brought them here to watch the battle.
Let them see the battle between the navy and pirates!
After all, the recruits have not yet participated in actual combat training, so this can be regarded as giving them a long experience in advance.
At this moment, from the bow of the warship, a blue crescent slash streaked directly across the sea and headed towards one of the sail warships.
Wherever it passed, even the sea surface was cut open, and seawater poured in from both sides.
The next second, the sail warship had been cut open from the front.
The sight of cutting a medium-sized sailing ship in two shocked all the recruits.
When had they, who were born in the East China Sea, seen such an extraordinary sight...
At this time, as both sides were accelerating their approach, the distance of less than 300 meters was quickly eliminated, and the two ships, one large and one small, were directly close to each other.
The boarding battle begins!
Lu Qi and three other people, each with a combat team, jumped directly onto the pirate ship. The remaining team, under the command of a captain, relied on the height advantage to take precise shots at the sides of the warship.
.
After all, it is a large warship of the Navy. The side of the ship is 7 or 8 meters higher than that of Gladius's medium-sized sailing ship.
This feeling was just like Sean's sense of déjà vu when he boarded a medium-sized warship and encountered Creek's Dreadnought Saber.
At this moment, Gladius had a bad feeling.
The slash that killed his first officer just now gave me the feeling of being stronger than Diamanti.
But this is already the case, so we can only bite the bullet.
At least my side still has some advantages in terms of numbers!
But soon, an incredible scene appeared in front of him.
The pirates who rushed at the front were beaten away by the three opposing officers.
And even those ordinary sailors can basically get rid of their own pirates in one or two moves.
What the hell...
Our elite marines are not that strong, right?
But how would he know that after eating No. 1 dried meat for more than three months and training hard?
Nowadays, the sailors of these sixteen branches would be too embarrassed to come out and chat if they didn’t have a power value of more than 50!
Therefore, even though they are much stronger than those pirate minions in the East China Sea, it is still relaxing and enjoyable for the sixty people from the Sixteenth Branch to beat them, more than a hundred people!
In addition, the team that was shooting down from the side of the warship at this moment were all twenty people selected from the veterans, who were the most accurate shooters.
Under these two circumstances, the pirate minions were simply being ravaged by one side.
