No one who has seen the powerful men in the sea take action with his own eyes, no matter how terrifying the information shows, I am afraid that I cannot imagine what kind of power the strong men in this world have mastered.
What makes Dawn appreciate Anne more is that even though she has never seen it with her own eyes, she cannot imagine it in her heart, but she decisively admits to her conscience based on the information.
From this point of view, it can be regarded as the unique and keen vision of intelligence dealers.
Of course, this is also thanks to the strength shown by the intelligence dealers of the Grand Line. How could Annie, whom even they can't afford to offend, provoke Garp, who they label as a strong man?
At this moment, Anne was no longer as calm as before.
There was only one thought in her mind, which was to quickly escape the island and meet Dawn's warship.
As a gathering place for pirates, Anne's base here must have prepared secret passages that can lead directly to the sea, and there are also small boats in the escape passage.
Without time to care about anything else, Annie quickly walked through the secret passage under the base camp, cut the rope that secured the boat, and then sailed towards the sea along the secret passage.
The beautiful woman, who had no personnel to help row the boat, was venting her dissatisfaction in her mouth, and had to paddle the oars in the direction Dawn said.
At this moment, the pirate ships scattered around the edge of the island suddenly became quiet.
Chapter 145 Bombardment
On Rat Island where pirates gather.
The pirates who were partying yesterday were lying on the ground and sleeping in all directions.
The island was filled with the smell of alcohol, cigarette butts, food residue, sweat, excrement, etc. after a party.
The sun had risen above the sea level without them noticing. The sunlight and the chilly sea breeze made the pirates shiver unconsciously, and they all woke up from the cold wind.
"Well, it's really cold. Why did you come here to drink yesterday?"
"This place is too close to the sea, let's go back and have a good sleep."
"Hey, look what's over there, there are so many boats."
"You are not drunk and still not sober, so many ships must be our pirate ships..."
As the sound came to an abrupt end, the pirates rubbed their hazy eyes and looked towards the sea, only to find that the pirate ship docked on the coast seemed a little strange.
Looking closely, I found that there were neatly arranged warships not far from the pirate ship, and more warships were lined up towards the surroundings of the island, as if they wanted to surround the entire island.
In an instant, sleepiness was replaced by cold sweat, and several pirates shouted in panic, rolling and crawling towards the center of the island.
"Oh no! The navy, the navy is coming!!"
"The navy fleet is coming, get up quickly!!"
In a short while, several pirates had woken up many sleeping pirates, but just as they were anxiously watching the pirates who were still dreaming, the sound of gunfire helped them complete the task.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Dense artillery fire began to cover this sinful island, and the pirates panicked in the heavy artillery fire after being attacked.
Some pirates ran towards the center of the island, while others wanted to run towards the pirate ship and break out by boat.
But they didn't know that Dawn had already pierced the bottom of those pirate ships. If they hadn't been close to the shore, they would have sunk into the sea long ago.
Blood, body parts, broken houses and buildings, and the weapons carried by the pirates were constantly thrown into the air and fell down by the artillery fire.
"Boy Dawn, I've made big news after I haven't seen you for a few days when I go back." Karp stood at the bow of the warship watching the bursts of artillery fire and laughed, while patting Dawn on the shoulder.
"I can't do anything about it. Who asked a certain lady to come to me and give me such important information? Besides, the pirates in the East China Sea have been almost wiped out in one fell swoop. Everyone in Windmill Village doesn't have to worry about pirates anymore."
Dawn couldn't help but rub his shoulder that was hurt by Garp's pat with a grimace. If Garp wasn't really happy, Dawn would have thought that Garp was deliberately retaliating because he couldn't accompany his grandson.
"Shoot! Shoot! The days of peace in the East China Sea are just around the corner!!" The highest commanders of each branch on the warship shouted excitedly, and even the soldiers behind them did the same.
After all, since joining the navy, their wish has been to fight against pirates to protect their hometowns and their loved ones from being ravaged and harmed by pirates. Now that this great opportunity is in front of them, how can they not do their best?
Many people attached great importance to this war, not only Dawn, Karp and all the East China Sea soldiers present, but also the generals Warring States and Marshal Kong, who were far away at the Navy headquarters, were very concerned about this war.
This is not only because it can directly wipe out most of the pirates in the East China Sea and provide the people of the East China Sea with a stable living environment, but it can also deter criminals and fundamentally reduce pirates.
You should know that after arresting Roger, the World Government and the Navy, who wanted to shock the world and the sea, specially sent Roger to Rogue Town in the East China Sea, the Sea of Peace, for execution.
But when Roger's hometown of Roger was executed, the plan that originally wanted to shock the evil people on the sea backfired because of Roger's words, became the beginning of the era of great pirates.
Here, even the East China Sea, which was praised by the Navy as the "Sea of Peace" and was disdained by the pirates, gradually began to flood pirates.
Even though it is not as good as the other three more chaotic seas, the East China Sea is generally still ravaged by pirates.
After all, the era of the Great Pirates was opened in Roger Town, which has a great impact on the East China Sea.
Now, being able to pacify the East China Sea, which is gradually wanting to fall into chaos, can be said to be a powerful booster for the navy as a whole!
The artillery fire caught the pirates who were still asleep by surprise. Compared to the pirates who were fleeing to the island, the navy's first focus was of course on the target that was right in front of them.
This part of the pirates wanted to snatch the ship and set sail to escape, but the pirate ship that had been destroyed by Dawn became their burial place instead.
As one pirate ship after another was completely destroyed under the coverage of artillery fire, the warships' artillery fire gradually shifted to the island. This not-so-big island was repeatedly attacked within the artillery range of the navy warships.
After repeated plowing, a team of naval forces boarded the charred land covered with artillery fire and advanced towards the center of the island.
It was the center of the island, and the surviving pirates must have gathered there. Dawn led his soldiers to attack the island.
At the same time, among the pirates in the center of the island, Bagu had turned into an orangutan covered in black hair. He stood among the pirates and roared with a ferocious look:
"Just now I sent my men to find Annie to report the news, and they found out that bitch Annie wasn't in her base at all! My men found a secret passage in the ruins, but there was no wreckage of the ship!"
"Her subordinates also said that they haven't seen that bitch Annie since yesterday! So the reason we were surrounded by the navy this time is because that bitch betrayed us!!"
The fat man who was openly against him but was actually his younger brother died in the gunfire just now. The death of his brother made Bagu furious at the moment.
He didn't expect that this woman would actually play this trick and directly sell out everyone to the navy. Did she discover his and his brother's plan?
But no matter what, the revenge for his brother and the casualties of his men made Bagu's heart bleed at this moment.
"Even if we die, we won't let the Navy have an easy time!"
"Damn bitch, if she gets out I'm going to kill her!"
"I actually conspired with the Navy to betray us, damn frame!!"
The remaining pirates instantly fell into rage after hearing what Bagu said. Perhaps for them, this was the only way to divert their doubts and fears about being found by the navy.
Holding a giant axe in his hand, Bagu roared, "Brothers, we have been surrounded by the navy. If you don't want to die, follow me and fight your way out! Then find that bitch Annie and avenge us brothers!!"
"Yes!! Find Annie's frame and avenge your brothers!!"
Accompanied by the navy's gunfire and shouts of killing, and with weapons and blood, the two sides began to fight!
Chapter 146 Annihilation [Subscription Request]
In such a large-scale battle, both Dawn's halo and Dawn's own strength can be said to have exerted great power.
But at the same time, Dawn's strength also attracted Bagu's attention.
In contrast, Dawn also learned from Anne's fruit ability. With his eyes facing each other, the malice revealed by both sides was beyond words.
He used his empty shield to block the bullet coming from the left, and sent a translucent bullet to pierce the attacker's skull.
Holding the sharp blade in his right hand made with his ability, Dawn wiped the neck of a blind pirate who rushed towards him with an axe, and then he began to slowly move towards the gorilla who was nearly two meters tall.
As he continued to move forward, Dawn killed the attacking pirates with his hands or fists, and then he elbowed a pirate who was blocking him, leaving a dent in the face. Dawn's speed was getting faster and faster.
The next moment, the aura of resistance appeared around him, blocking the bullets fired by the pirates guarding Bagu.
While the sharp blade made in Dawn's hand slashed towards Bagu, the dense weapons behind him also rushed straight toward his savage orangutan.
But Bagu was a famous pirate in the East China Sea after all. Although he looked huge and muscular, he still maintained his speed and flexibility and dodged Dawn's attack.
"Boy, I'm going to tear you into pieces..."
Bagu habitually wanted to make ruthless words, but Dawn was not the type to talk nonsense with others in battle.
"shave!"
There was a murderous intent flashing in Dawn's dark eyes. His continuous stepping created a reaction force that drove Dawn to come in front of Bagu in an instant and punched out with a whistling fist.
When he saw Dawn disappear, Bagu's pupils shrank. Realizing that something was wrong, Bagu subconsciously crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"boom!!"
A heavy punch hit Bagu's two thick arms. The huge force made Bagu seem to hear the sound of bones breaking in his beast-like arms. The subsequent impact caused Bagu to directly create a ditch on the ground.
Just like teleporting at close range, Dawn appeared in front of Bagu in a flash without giving Bagu time to steady her body. At the moment when she had no reaction at all, her pitch-black fist, carrying huge force, hit her head hard.
"boom!!!"
After a violent collision with the abandoned buildings on the island, Bagu's blood gushed out from all his orifices.
Although the animal-type fruits brought him huge vitality and resistance, even so, he could only delay his death.
In despair, Bagu saw densely packed translucent conical bullets falling from the sky like heavy rain.
Blood flowed on the charred ground, and the pirate leader across the East China Sea would never see tomorrow's sun.
The wind carrying the smell of gunpowder and blood blew up Dawn's black hair, and an inky black snake appeared, greedily absorbing everything brought to it by the surrounding battlefield.
Although the fight between Dawn and Bagu was very brief, the momentum it created attracted the attention of countless people.
When the pirates' "general" Bagu was killed, the same thought flashed through the minds of the remaining pirates.
"Master Bago was killed!!"
On the contrary, seeing their own officers quickly kill the enemy leader, the morale of the navy soared once again!
With the death of Bagu, the remaining pirates could no longer cause any trouble, especially with Dawn present. Not only did his halo provide amplification, but he also kept attacking. The dense bullets like a rainstorm instantly riddled the enemy with holes.
With Dawn's help and Garp personally taking out the miscellaneous soldiers, the battle naturally ended much faster than expected.
As the shouts and cries gradually died down, the naval soldiers gradually gained an absolute advantage and cleared out the enemy with absolute numbers.
Seeing that the battle situation was settled, Cap flashed to Dawn and grinned and said, "You boy, you have made great contributions this time, wait for promotion."
With graying temples, Garp, wearing a black suit and a cloak with the word "Justice" on it, looks very happy.
But it’s no wonder.
This is not only because the Navy achieved such a great record in one fell swoop, but also the joy of the growth of his younger generation and the joy of peace and tranquility in his hometown.
"It's just luck, otherwise it would be impossible to catch all these pirates in one fell swoop." Dawn was aware of this.
This kind of coincidence was really just luck. He believed that even if he was not there, Annie might have gone directly to Garp and achieved the same effect. However, compared to a strong man like Garp, Annie chose a young man like Dawn.
