Chapter 85 Number of people? Meaningless! (4K word chapter)
On the dock not far from the judicial ship, Tom rarely wore more formal clothes. Although with his body shape, even wearing formal clothes would not be of much use. Bingshan rummaged through the box to find a clean and tidy clothes to put on, and
Frankie had an extra pair of cropped trousers. They were waiting for the navy soldiers accompanying the ship to take Tom inside.
There are still 20 minutes until the court starts.
"Mr. Tom, would you like to come to the pub for a drink after the trial is over?" Several pub owners who were familiar with Tom shouted loudly from the crowd of onlookers.
"Hahahaha! I must go, I must go!" Tom burst out laughing.
Bingshan and Franky looked at each other and smiled. As disciples, of course they wanted their master to be happy. Even though Master Tom had made such outstanding contributions to Water City, there were still many residents who hated him just because he was a fishman.
Alienation, suspicion, and even hurtful words are not uncommon. The two of them knew that even though Tom kept smiling all day long without saying anything, he would still feel uncomfortable in his heart.
On a tall building in the distance, Spandam peered at the three masters and apprentices on the coastal pier with a telescope, with a ferocious smile on his lips: "Tom the shipwright... If you want to laugh, do it now. You will feel it in a few minutes."
What is [despair]!! Hey, haven’t they set off yet?”
Facing Spandam's questioning, the CP5 member behind him whispered: "Sir, they have already set off. They will reach the nearby sea area in about 2 minutes."
"Very good! I have already ordered them to fire directly at the judicial ship when they arrive! It doesn't matter how many people die! Then I will blow up the stupid fishman and his two apprentices on the shore to cripples! How dare you attack me?
To be so disrespectful is to be disrespectful to the world government!! Hey, am I right!?"
"Exactly." The cp5 member responded solemnly with his hands behind his back.
At this time, some residents shouted in confusion and fear: "Then, what is that!? Fleet??"
"Yes~~ Be afraid! Be afraid and hate that shipbuilder Tom! After all, this is a ship built by his precious apprentice... Huh?" The ferocious smile on Spandam's face, holding the telescope, froze.
Dozens of huge pirate ships appeared on the sea in the distance. They marched in an orderly manner like a joint fleet. A skull with three iron strips on its chin hung on the leading flagship.
"It's the 'King of Salt Currents'...it's the 'Gustav Fleet'!!!!" Some residents recognized the power represented by this flag and roared in despair.
"'Gustav Fleet'... Damn it, how could it be at this time..." Spandam was so frightened that his legs became weak. This was not part of his plan! Then, he was horrified to find this fleet.
The number of pirate ships far exceeded the number of Gustav's fleet in the intelligence.
"Wait... that flag is... the Tiger Shark Pirates?? There are also the White Socks Pirates, the Pikmin Pirates, the Hound Pirates... there are almost all the famous pirates in the first half of the Grand Line.
One-third of them are here!? Are they coming to hunt me, the CP5 leader?" Spandam threw away the telescope, turned around in horror, grabbed the collars of the CP5 members, and yelled: "
Quick! Take me out of here!"
"Sir, our ships are parked near the port and are within their range of fire." The CP5 members were so scared that their legs were weak. A pirate coalition of this size must be resisted by the navy headquarters dispatching a fleet. They CP5
The state of these two or three big cats and kittens is basically as good as filling gaps between their teeth.
"Which naval base is the closest to here!? Tell them to come quickly!" Spandam suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Ask them all to dispatch, just say... just say that there are world nobles here being besieged by pirates!
"
"The closest one to here is the G-3 base. Almost the entire army was wiped out in the 'Magic Valley Incident' half a month ago." The CP5 members looked desperate: "The culprits are none other than the 'Salt Current King' group!"
"They... they have planned everything." Spandam loosened the collars of the CP5 members and staggered to the ground: "Come prepared... We are finished! This City of Seven Waters is completely ruined.
It’s over!”
On the dock on the shore, Tom frowned and looked at the pirate fleet approaching the capital of seven waters in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Iceberg, Franky, hurry back to the studio to find Cocoro and take her with you.
Hide!"
"Where are you, Mr. Tom? Don't do anything stupid!" Bingshan knew his master best and had already vaguely guessed what Tom was going to do.
"I...I can't just watch this City of Seven Waters be destroyed like this!" Tom clenched his fists: "Every one I can save is one...You two, leave quickly! Take Cocoro and hide in the cellar of the studio.
!”
"Bingshan, go quickly." Franky, who was covered in cold sweat, gritted his teeth and smiled: "I will stay to help Mr. Tom. Anyway, it is too late to drive my 'God of War Franky', but I can also
fighting!"
"You idiot!" Bingshan was about to curse angrily, but suddenly he was stunned: "Is that... your junk ship?"
Tom and Franky turned around and looked in surprise, and suddenly discovered that not far away on the other side of the sea, 35 of Franky's beloved 'War God Franky' warships were heading towards the judicial ship.
Residents on the shore also discovered these warships, and some people noticed with confusion that these warships seemed to be the beloved warships of Frankie, Tom's second apprentice.
On the ship, CP5 spies in black diving suits were squatting to control the rudder to prevent themselves from being discovered. But soon, they could no longer immerse themselves in the concept of justice that Spandam had instilled in them, because they discovered something in the distance.
Pirate fleet on the sea.
"I
Thief, turn around and go back to Hulk Island."
However, the rudder of the ship suddenly stopped obeying the command. The cables on the ship also slid quietly to the feet of the spies like a resurrected python.
On a watchtower somewhere on the dock on the shore, Victor, who was wearing a black coat and a black felt hat, held his right hand with his palm upwards and his fingers slightly spread, pointing in the distance at the motionless French fleet of the God of War, parked on the sea.
"Metal Zipper·Five-string Pipa·Puppet Ballad..." There seemed to be countless invisible invisible zippers on his fingertips, controlling the 35 French God of War warships like puppets:
"...Zashiki Maijo!!"
The hulls of these French God of War warships seemed to be flowing with fresh metal pulses, and every cable was like a ruthless python, entangling and crushing the espionage personnel layer by layer.
The French God of War fleet suddenly changed its course and headed towards the pirate fleet in the distance! At the same time, at an angle invisible to people on the shore, a corpse wearing a black diving suit was quietly dropped on each ship.
The cause of death, without exception, was that all the bones in the body, especially the neck bones, were crushed alive by the thick cables.
"Franky's perverted and dangerous warship...is it attacking the pirate fleet? Or is it going to surrender?"
The desperate residents could do nothing but ask Master Tom and his apprentices on the shore for confirmation.
Tom and Bingshan quickly guessed the key. Previously, people from the government stole Franky's battleship and wanted to attack the judicial ship and blame Tom. But why did they change their minds again? The master and apprentice were confused.
Frankie looked like he was hesitant to speak.
"Good job! Franky!" At this time, a huge webbed palm patted Franky on the shoulder. The latter looked up and saw Haoyuki wearing a black yukata with lightning patterns.
"Brother Haoxue..." Tom didn't know what to say at this time.
Haoxue smiled, and then said loudly: "Tom, according to your request, we arranged Franky's warship nearby in advance to protect the justice ship. As expected, those damn pirates targeted the justice ship! Moreover, with Gus
It is the habit of the Taft fleet to not let this island go. We must fight! Otherwise, there will only be a miserable death waiting for us!"
The surrounding residents looked as if they were suddenly enlightened. So it turns out that it was Mr. Tom’s foresight that asked his disciple Franky to build these dangerous warships to defend the City of Seven Waters? I really misunderstood them before!
"Mr. Haoxue, there are too many enemies! There is not much defense force on the island, we can't resist it!" Bingshan couldn't help but retorted.
"Don't worry, the number of people is... meaningless to us!" Haoxue showed a cold smile.
…………
"What's going on with those ships? Are they looking for death?" "Poppy Flower" Guli, who was standing next to "Salt Stream King" Gustav, said doubtfully: "Could they be the militia organization of the City of Seven Waters?"
"No matter who they are..." Gustav, the 'Salt Flow King', licked his ice cream and said boredly: "Kill them and hurry up. There is no momentum at all in your slowness!"
"The admiral has an order! All artillery preparations! Send a flag to notify ship No. 3 to ship No. 11, fire coverage!" 'Nail' Pink immediately gave the command to the other pirates: "Prepare! Fire——!!"
At the same time, the French God of War fleet also opened fire! How could the firepower that could kill the Sea Kings be weaker than ordinary pirate ships? The fierce gunfire caught the pirate coalition by surprise!
The residents on the shore and the navy could only place their hopes on Franky's fleet.
However, the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
After all, the fleet of the God of War Franky is an ultra-small one-man battleship. No matter how fierce the firepower is, it can't defeat those heavily armed pirate ships that can easily reach tens or hundreds of meters. Not long after, these single-man battleships were hit by fierce artillery fire.
It was smashed to pieces, and bursts of bangs were heard on the sea.
"What a terrifying firepower..." On the dock on the shore, even the navy soldiers knelt down in despair.
"Hahahaha!! Did you see it! This is the 'Gustav Fleet' that I am proud of! The invincible Gustav Fleet!!"
Gustav, the "Salt Flow King", let out wanton laughter and grabbed the silver-haired and dark-skinned beauty Gu Li beside him. He kept rubbing her body with his big hands, causing waves of tenderness.
At this time, dots of snowflakes fell from the sky.
"Huh? Where can the snowflakes come from if there are no clouds?" 'Nail' Pink reached out his hand to catch a snowflake in confusion. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was not a snowflake at all, but a soft ball of mycelium.
"Not good! Admiral, he is a person of ability!!"
At the same time, on a rooftop platform on the pier on the shore, Ma Xiu, who was wearing a turban, closed his eyes tightly, sweating profusely and stretched his arms forward with his hands open and slightly clasped. Wu Hongji and Perona
Then stand beside him, maintaining a protective posture.
On the watchtower, Victor, who stopped operating the battleship, put his hands in his pockets and said to himself leisurely:
"Load special high-temperature resistant spore mycelium into those single-man battleships, and let those CP5 ships drive from the Hulk Island to my eyes. Then I will take over the control and put these ships into a posture to meet the enemy. The enemy will naturally
These battleships will be blown to pieces with fierce artillery fire..."
"The violent blast force will blast those specially prepared spores into the sky, forming a 'bacteria rain'. Although Matthew only had a short time to eat the mushroom fruits, he was unable to control the spores to fly directly from the shore to the enemy ship in the distance.
But he can still do it just by stimulating the spores and hyphae in the distance..."
The snowflake-like spore mycelium fell on the deck of the pirate fleet and quickly rolled into the gap, and then grew rapidly under Matthew's control.
Accompanied by the sound of creaking and cracking boards, clusters of mycelium grew on a large number of pirate ships, and the muzzles of many cannons were firmly blocked by mycelium balls. Because the sails were also eroded by mycelium,
More and more pirate ships slowed down until they fell behind.
This is not the most troublesome thing. Because these 'bacteria rain' are small in size, some careless pirates even accidentally inhale the bacteria rain into their noses and mouths, and then...it is a complete disaster!
"Asshole!! What kind of ability is this!" The 'Salt Current King' was furious, and white particles appeared all over his body, and then his whole body turned into a huge sea tide of salt, and the flagship 'Sea Salt' he was in was swept away from the inside.
He washed the outside thoroughly and removed most of the mycelium. Then he followed the same method and cleaned several pirate ships of Gustav's fleet nearby. But he was powerless to do anything about the straggler ships farther away.
In the end, only nineteen pirate ships were spared and escaped the coverage of the 'bacteria rain'. But even so, many of the artillery on the surviving ships were temporarily unusable. Those extraordinary cadres and pirate ship captains
Most of them escaped in time to the unaffected pirate ships, which was a blessing in misfortune for King Shiolyu and others.
Before officially engaging the enemy, they directly lost 1/3 of their combat power. This was a great shame and humiliation that Gustav, the 'Salt Current King', had never experienced since he went to sea.
"Give me the order to go down! Everyone is ready to go ashore... Don't let anyone go, kill them all!!" Gustav's eyes were red and he issued a cruel 'City Massacre Order': "No matter who is causing trouble,
I want them all to die!!!"
On the watchtower on the shore, Victor, with his hands in his pockets, looked at the pirate fleet that was about to arrive at the shore, and showed a smile:
"Come on, pirate alliance, let me see how much you weigh!"
