Chapter 262 Please close your eyes when it gets dark
...
"what happened!"
As the overall person in charge of this mission, the Commodore of the Navy Headquarters, wearing a cloak of justice, came to the deck to check the situation as soon as possible.
"Report to the lord, there is a small speedboat behind us shooting at us! The enemy is...Ah! Be careful! There are artillery shells!!!"
The sentry who was observing through a telescope had not yet finished his words when a rapidly growing black spot appeared in his field of vision. He immediately shouted a warning.
The shells came close in an instant and were about to hit the ship.
"Shave~!"
"Choke~!"
At the critical moment, the commodore dodged, drew out his sword and cut the shell in half. No one understood the principle, but the shell did not explode directly on the blade amid the clashing of metal and sparks. Instead, it broke into two halves and fell into the sea behind, creating two splashes of water.
“Boom! Boom~!”
The Commodore raised his left hand and handsomely blocked the splashing water from the explosion.
"Huh! Saved!"
"This is amazing! Is this the strength of the admirals of the Marine Headquarters? They are so reliable!"
Listening to the flattery of his subordinate marines, the brigadier general was very satisfied. He shook off the seawater on his coat and said in a serious and expressionless manner:
"You've lost your mind over a small boat. Did you see who was on the boat? Never mind. It doesn't matter who they are. You dared to attack the World Government's ship. You deserve the death penalty! Fight back immediately and sink it!"
"Yes, sir!"
The white figures on the deck began to get busy.
...
"This. This..."
On the battleship, which was only No. 8.5 and was rushed to completion, the two young ghosts who had never seen much of the world watched in shock as the cannonball that was bound to hit the target was chopped off by the opponent's knife. Such an unimaginable scene made the two of them stunned on the spot.
"Then, how did that guy do it!?"
When the two men came to their senses, they saw that more than a dozen huge cannons on the ship had pointed their black muzzles at them.
Iceberg and Franky's faces were gradually covered with fear.
"Oh no! Abandon ship!"
Iceberg, who was the first to react, pounced on Franky who was still preparing to fire back without hesitation.
"fire!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
If you are poor, you will strike with precision, if you are rich, you will have firepower!
As the commodore gently swung his right hand, more than a dozen steel cannons roared angrily, as if venting their anger at being provoked by a small earth cannon.
In an instant, the sound of cannons was deafening and flames illuminated the entire sea.
When the mist and smoke cleared, there was nothing left on the sea except a few pieces of charred wood. The waves roared and rolled, declaring their sovereignty, and soon swallowed up all traces of the explosion.
"Report to the commander! The target has been destroyed!"
"Humph! This is the result of overestimating one's own abilities."
The Commodore commented coldly.
Please close your eyes when it is dark.
On the deck
Before the sailors had time to be happy, the sky suddenly turned dark. Although it was originally night time and it may seem a bit strange to say this, they did encounter such an incredible thing!
"Ah! Why can't I see anything?!"
"Me too! What happened!"
At first, the soldiers thought that they had stared at the dazzling fire for too long, causing their eyes to feel uncomfortable after returning to the darkness. However, after rubbing their eyes for a long time, they still couldn't see anything! Only then did they realize the abnormality!
what happened!
The sailors on board began to panic.
This kind of darkness where you can't see your fingers even if you put your hand to your nose is obviously not normal!
The Commodore frowned.
Those who can?
Is there a devil fruit that can take away vision?
It’s a bit troublesome!
The ship was in a mess. If things continued like this, the soldiers on the ship would be in chaos before the enemy appeared. So the brigadier general shouted loudly:
"Everyone calm down! I am Commodore Zidar, the highest-ranking officer on this ship. Now everyone listen to my orders! Stay where you are, and no one is allowed to move before we figure out the situation. From this moment on, anyone who runs around and causes panic will be considered an enemy and killed immediately!"
"Yes! Brigadier General Zidar!"
At the critical moment, the navy soldiers showed discipline and obedience that the small pirates did not possess. One by one, they began to stop and stand guard.
The timely order prevented the panic on the ship from spreading further. Zidal first breathed a sigh of relief, then tightened the sword at his waist, slowly closed his eyes and began to concentrate, intending to use his newly mastered Observation Haki to find out the situation around him.
"kindness?"
Zidal was frightened as soon as he activated his Observation Haki and hurriedly took a few steps back because he sensed that there was a huge life form with extremely strong vitality standing face to face in front of him.
Zidal steadied his body and was about to draw his sword and chop forward, but before he could even pull the sword out of the scabbard, his head felt like it was hit hard by a hammer, and his consciousness began to gradually blur.
"what!"
"Boom~!"
Zidal groaned and fell straight to the deck.
On the side, Moria showed a proud smile, but unfortunately in this endless darkness, no one could appreciate his brilliant smile.
"Clap clap clap!"
Moria clapped his hands a few times, created four shadow clones and began to clean up the remaining small naval forces.
The pure black shadow clone is inside the [circle] barrier created by Moria. The camouflage effect is even more exaggerated than "black people in the dark"!
What's even more terrifying is that the entire internal space of the [circle] is equivalent to Moria's own shadow, so the main body and the shadow clone can use [Shadow Warrior] to appear at any position within the barrier, with unlimited Flying Thunder God! It's just that it will be more physically demanding if you show off randomly.
Moriah's combination of skills is really tricky, unless the opponent's hard power is much stronger than Moriah, or their strength is similar but they have the advantage in numbers, and they can cooperate with each other tacitly to support each other and hold on until Moriah is physically exhausted and can no longer maintain the barrier, otherwise it can basically be said that there is no solution at the same level.
At this time, it was really too easy to deal with these ordinary naval soldiers who didn't even master the Observation Haki. They were too lazy to use Flash. They just walked up to them and slapped them one by one and called it a day. It was Captain Gol who wanted to spare their lives, so it was quite difficult to control the strength precisely.
The sailors had no power to fight back. Before being knocked down, they could only pray to the endless darkness that they would not be the next ones to be attacked. After being knocked down, they had no idea what was happening.
Everyone could only shout helplessly:
"Ah! Ghost! There is a ghost!"
This time no one was able to step forward and reorganize the team. Fear spread quickly, and for many people Moria didn't even need to do anything himself. They ran around in panic and ended up bumping into walls or each other, and then fainted.
Soon, there was no movement on the entire ship, and hundreds of naval soldiers were knocked down.
