Chapter 208 They will all die in my hands!
"Boom boom boom boom boom..." The fortress cannon, which had temporarily stopped firing to avoid accidentally hurting Blaze and the remnants of the Blackbeard Pirates, opened fire again at the same time as the pirates launched a charge.
If the Kamiya Army is the 'biological son' of the World Government, and the Navy is the 'godson' of the World Government, then the Army is at best just a 'house-born son'.
The army, which had been suffering from the misappropriation and even the withholding of military funds for many years, had been through hard times for who knows how long, and finally waited for the opportunity to defeat the navy. In this battle, from the generals and general candidates of the army to every army soldier participating in the war, everyone was mentally prepared to do their utmost to prove themselves.
The overwhelming artillery fire was about to completely engulf the charging pirates. The senior fighters in the lead showed their special abilities at this time, either dodging or using the power of devil fruits to resist, some simply drew their swords to chop the shells into pieces, and some even relied on their thick skin to withstand the bombardment.
It is no exaggeration to say that most of the senior fighters of the Universe Dark Matter Pirates are among the top 100 strong men in the New World.
Relying on the foundation of the two great pirate groups and Borsalino's years of hard work in the underground world, and of course the most important thing is the almost unlimited financial support, the current Universe Dark Matter Pirate Group can almost be equated with the pirate forces in the New World.
Except for the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates, almost all the famous pirates in the New World have joined the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.
After several rounds of firepower, the senior fighters in the front were basically unharmed, but the middle-level fighters following behind them were not so lucky.
"Assholes! I will kill you all!"
A little giant nearly four meters tall roared loudly towards the direction of the city wall. One of his arms was blown into two by a cannonball. However, the pain did not make this strong guy lose his fighting power, but instead aroused his ferocity.
"Speed up! Go over and kill them all!"
The thousand or so pirates leading the charge were all tough guys who had experienced many battles. The previous few rounds of firepower coverage could scare away ordinary pirates, but they could not scare off this group of veteran pirates.
After several rounds of bombardment, the fortress cannons on the city wall had to temporarily stop firing to dissipate heat due to overheating of the barrel. The pirates successfully seized this brief opportunity and were about to rush under the city wall.
Even a wall that was over twenty meters high was not an insurmountable obstacle for these powerful pirates.
"Weaving a web of vines!"
A senior fighter who had eaten the fruit of the vine stabbed his hands into the ground, and dense vines emerged from the ground, clinging to the city walls and quickly growing into a huge vine net that covered the surface of the wall.
However, when this senior fighter made his move, three other senior fighters, one with the ability to fly and the other who had mastered the Moon Step, had already climbed onto the city wall first.
"Drive the pirates away!"
The army generals who were on high alert rushed forward at the first opportunity, but it seemed that the army was at a disadvantage in the competition with the navy. The average strength of the army generals was much inferior to that of the navy generals.
The three senior fighters who climbed onto the city wall for the first time held on under the siege of the army generals and officers, and persisted until the second batch of senior fighters also climbed onto the city wall. Seeing that the number of pirates on the city wall was increasing, the army general Iron Fist Liu Luo finally arrived at the critical moment.
"Iron Fist - Collapse Fist!"
Iron Fist Ryulu, who also comes from an army family, is like Steel Bone Kong, both of whom are top-level warriors specializing in three-color domineering and physical skills.
Iron-fisted Ryulu, who arrived in a hurry, saw the pirates breaking through the blockade of the generals and officers and slaughtering the army soldiers on the city wall. His tiger eyes suddenly turned red with bloodshot.
The furious army general had no regard for his status or dignity, and he launched a heavy punch that was almost like a sneak attack, piercing the body of a senior fighter.
A senior fighter nearby was shocked and angry as he watched his companions die in battle. He swung his heavy battle axe wrapped in armed color domineering, wanting to chop the unreasonably strong old man in front of him into two halves.
‘Clang! ’
There was a sharp sound of metal clashing, and the pitch-black heavy battle axe suddenly chopped on the equally pitch-black arm. Instead of breaking the skin, it cracked the palm of the senior fighter.
"Iron Fist·Rising Palm!"
Iron Fist Liu Luo didn't even look at the senior fighter, he just slapped him and sent him flying into the air.
However, before the army general could kill the second senior fighter, countless vines suddenly broke out of the ground and wrapped around Iron Fist Liu Luo's body into a huge vine ball.
"Hurry up! I can't trap him for much longer!"
The senior fighter who had eaten the vine fruit shouted loudly with a distorted expression. It seemed that the creature he tied up was not a humanoid creature, but a super-giant sea king.
Even though he had tried his best to reinforce and tighten the vines, he still felt that the other party could break free from the vines at any time.
Fortunately, the senior fighters reacted quickly. Almost at the same time that Tie Fist Liu Luo was trapped, a flying slash flew over from the battlefield not far away and hit Tie Fist Liu Luo's neck very accurately.
‘Clang! ’
As the sound of metal clashing rang out again, the skilled and courageous Iron Fist Liu Luo actually took the initiative to use his most vulnerable neck to smash the flying slash of a senior fighter into pieces.
Even Blaze, a candidate for admiral, can normalize the entanglement of Armament Haki, let alone the Army General Iron-Fisted Ryuluo, whose strength is far superior to Blaze.
"Haha! Burn to ashes in the flames!"
Another senior fighter carrying a weapon similar to a rocket launcher jumped in front of Iron Fist Liu Luo, grinning and pointing the rocket launcher in his hand at the army general's head.
'call! '
Blazing flames gushed out from the muzzle of the cannon, instantly engulfing Iron Fist Liu Luo and the vines that bound him.
The entanglement of Armament Haki can greatly enhance the defense of an object, and the best of them can even fight against steel weapons with their flesh.
However, in the face of extreme temperatures that are enough to melt steel, no matter how powerful the Armament Haki is, it is just a joke!
Until the senior fighter stared in amazement as Iron Fist Liu Luo turned around in the flames and looked at him expressionlessly.
"go to hell!"
The frightened senior fighter did not care that the load of the weapon had reached the upper limit, and forcibly broke the limiter of the combustion cannon, releasing all the heat stored in the flame shell placed in the "magazine" position in one breath. "Bear~"
The raging flames seemed to ignite the air as well. The alloy bricks paved on the ground in a circle centered on Iron Fist Liu Luo began to melt under the extremely high temperature.
However, in this extreme purgatory of fire, a body that was almost inhumanly strong withstood the impact of the extremely high-temperature flames and walked up to the senior fighter who was almost frightened silly with steady and extremely determined steps.
"This temperature...is not even enough to keep me warm!"
A huge dark hand stretched out from the flames, grabbed the incendiary cannon that was still spewing flames, and snatched it away. Like destroying a children's toy, it kneaded this weapon that integrated the advanced technology of Sky Island and even the New World into a solid lump of iron.
The senior fighter, who was almost frightened silly, turned around and ran without hesitation. With his strength, he would be able to fight even if he lost his weapon. However, after seeing the terrifying defense of Iron Fist Liu Luo who could withstand the incendiary cannon, the senior fighter immediately dispelled all unrealistic ideas.
It is not easy to escape from a top-level warrior, so the direction chosen by this senior fighter is the battlement of the city wall closest to him. As long as he jumps over the parapet and off the city wall, the opponent will not leave so many pirates on the city wall and continue to chase him.
"Want to escape? Humph! Iron Fist Meteor!"
Unfortunately, before this senior fighter could jump off the city wall, Iron Fist Liu Luo had stretched his arms backwards to the limit, and then suddenly exerted force, like a human catapult, and threw the incendiary cannon that he had kneaded into a ball fiercely over.
'puff! '
The senior fighter who had already rushed out of the women's wall was smashed into a bloody mess by the iron ball. However, in just a few breaths, the army general defeated three senior fighters in a row and killed two of them.
The user of the vine fruit ability who had just tried to restrain Iron Fist Liu Luo was terrified and frantically grew vines to try to stop Iron Fist Liu Luo.
However, the flames just now failed to kill the iron-fisted Ryuluo who was protected by the Armament Haki, but raised the temperature of the army general to a level that was almost enough to melt gold and iron.
The tough vines started burning as soon as they wrapped around his body. When the user of the vine fruit ability wanted to escape, Iron Fist Liu Luo, who was emitting astonishing heat all over his body, had already arrived in front of him.
"Teng Teng Chong..."
Before the user of the Vine Fruit could attack again, Iron Fist Liu Luo had already grabbed his neck.
The high temperature instantly burned through the throat of this senior fighter, and blood gushed out and fell on the body of Iron Fist Liu Luo, and was evaporated into a terrifying blood mist by the high temperature.
"I will bury you all here! Prepare to die, pirates!"
Iron Fist Ryuluo, who was completely black and radiated an astonishingly high temperature, growled at the pirates who had already climbed onto the city wall. The pirates who had already witnessed the strength of this army general all looked a little unhappy.
For the pirates in the New World, the most terrifying enemies are not those strange and bizarre Devil Fruit users, but "pure" physical skills masters like Iron Fist Ryuluo.
As long as your attack power is not enough to break the opponent's Armament Haki defense, you will be beaten to death by the opponent's fists in an extremely frustrating way!
The problem is that Iron Fist·Ryu Luo is a genuine top-level strongman. In fact, because he has been active on the front-line battlefield for many years, if a real fight breaks out, he is even better than Steel Bone·Kong who has restored his youth with fake pure gold.
After all, the latter has been somewhat self-destructive since he was defeated by the Red Earl and resigned from the position of Admiral of the Navy.
Although he has not given up daily exercise, the effect of daily exercise to maintain his condition is obviously not as good as fighting on the battlefield all year round.
"No more waiting! Fire now! We can't let more pirates climb onto the city walls!"
At the same time, the fortress cannon that had just stopped firing temporarily due to overheating of the barrel also opened fire at the same time. The advantage of the curved city wall is that there are no blind spots for shooting on the same plane.
The outer facade of the city wall, wrapped in a thick layer of alloy bricks, is obviously not afraid of being destroyed by artillery fire.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
As the sound of artillery fire rang out again, the pirates who had not yet had time to climb the city wall were the first to suffer. Dozens of fortress cannons blasted the intermediate fighters who gathered under the city wall and were preparing to climb the vines, forcing them to flee in panic.
After one round of bombardment, dozens of corpses and even more broken limbs appeared under the city wall. Every mid-level fighter would be a pirate with a bounty of tens of millions of berries. However, in front of the firepower of nearly a hundred fortress cannons, they were just a bunch of targets that were not easy to aim at.
The pirates below the city wall were in bad luck, and those who had already climbed the city wall were not much better off.
Although out of respect for the army general, the army soldiers operating the fortress cannon did not dare to directly bombard the city wall, but a top-level strong man who is proficient in the three-color domineering can also be called a meat grinder on the battlefield.
Ordinary mid-level fighters were all killed instantly in front of Iron Fist Liu Luo. Only high-level fighters could barely fight with the opponent for a few moves, but only if they wanted to protect themselves.
When encountering pirates who are not easy to kill, Iron Fist Ryulu will decisively choose to change his target. His goal is not to find the most powerful pirate among them, but to reduce the number and combat power of the pirates as much as possible.
Instead of wasting several minutes to kill a powerful pirate, it is better to share these few minutes with other pirates.
Especially since the generals of the army were not as strong as those of the navy, facing these tough guys, every minute that Iron Fist Liu Luo delayed, several army generals would die at the hands of pirates in the melee.
"Assholes! Stop hiding! If that monster keeps killing us, we will die at his hands sooner or later!"
Seeing the number of pirates on the city wall decreasing, a senior fighter who had just survived by losing his left hand couldn't help but curse.
With the combined strength of so many of them, if they didn't all have their own ulterior motives and want others to contribute, they wouldn't have been slaughtered like this by Iron Fist Liu Luo.
Even if it's a mid-level fighter who can't even take a single attack from the opponent, a few people working together can at least delay a little longer.
"Don't worry, you will all die in my hands!"
The killing-crazy Iron Fist Ryuluo was covered in blood, and even his body, which was wrapped in the Armament Haki and should have been pitch black, was dyed dark red by the blood of the pirates.
When he opened his mouth and showed a hideous smile, he looked like a devil from the abyss.
But after saying that, he still kept his eyes on the guy who tried to call on other pirates to join forces. Although Iron Fist Ryuluo didn't think that these pirates would pose a threat to him if they united, it was not as easy to kill a group of pirates as it was to kill them alone.
