On the azure sea, black flags fluttered wildly.
Accompanied by the fierce skull totem dancing unrestrained in the air, the formation of the pirate fleet made the waves tremble.
Dozens of well-equipped pirate ships, their hulls adorned with the scars of war, slowly approached the naval base standing on the coastline.
The pirates resembled a pack of thirsty predators, quietly observing their soon-to-be-acquired prey.
Above the sea, the tense and stifling atmosphere was shattered by a loud shout:
"Fire!"
With the pirate's command issued.
In an instant, the gunpowder slumbering within the steel behemoths was ignited, and the firelight erupting from the cannons soared into the sky.
"Boom!!"
Hundreds of cannons simultaneously spewed out the smoke of death.
Cannonballs, carrying the force of a thousand thunderbolts, streaked across the blue sky, obscuring the warm sunlight, leaving only fierce shadows rushing into the clouds.
This fierce power spread across the sea, and the deafening cannon fire was like the chanting of the Grim Reaper.
"This is the first time I've seen such a grand scene!"
"The naval base will be reduced to insignificant dust in the face of this bombardment!"
A fanatical smile appeared on the face of every pirate.
Even in the smoke-filled air, their eyes held only the light of victory.
Their cheers merged into a roar more earth-shattering than the waves, piercing through the clouds.
Those high-speed cannonballs were like celebratory fireworks, further fueling their enthusiasm.
For these pirates, who were accustomed to brushing shoulders with death, the scene of hundreds of cannons firing simultaneously was exceptionally spectacular, something they had never witnessed before.
"I told you, capturing the G5 base would be a piece of cake."
"What can those marines use to resist our bombardment?"
Amidst the intertwining of cannon fire and cheers, the pirates believed that they were only a stone's throw away from capturing this solitary naval base.
Laughter still swirled on the sea, and the pirates' faces wore distorted smiles of intoxicated victory, wantonly mingling amidst the dense gunpowder smell.
However, fate always enjoys delivering a blow when one is at their most arrogant.
"Boom!!"
Those soaring cannonballs, before they could even approach the naval base, exploded in mid-air as if bound by a curse.
A sky-covering blaze and smoke blossomed in the air.
The pirate fleet had been advancing in the waves, each ship a behemoth like a maritime overlord.
But as they approached the naval base, they seemed to encounter a curse, disintegrating into fragments without warning, and in a bizarre manner.
The sturdy hulls, the valiant sails, were ruthlessly cut and broken, as fragile as paper.
The laughter that had not yet faded was instantly swallowed by the cold reality, and those proud pirates, like clowns in a play, were stripped of their disguise by panic and turned into drowning men.
One by one, bodies, deprived of the support of their ships, fell listlessly into the azure and icy sea.
Urgent warnings were immediately transmitted within the fleet:
"Not good! Something on the Navy side is cutting the ships apart!"
The voice was full of shock and disbelief; this was not the battle they were familiar with.
The Navy had used some trick to render their ships and long-range attacks ineffective.
Immediately following, an even more urgent command rang out:
"All ships, cease forward movement!"
"..."
On the sea, only the broken remains of the ship sides that had once brought pride to the pirates remained.
Only fear remained on those once-greedy faces.
And those hearts, once excited by the barrage of cannons, were now pounding heavily with dread.
......
Not far away on the sea, a unique ship sailed leisurely.
It was unlike any other ship on the sea, because its power came from two giant snakes.
The giant snakes pulled the scarlet ship, cleaving through the sea.
On the ship, three little girls lay on the railing, their eyes curiously cast towards the distance.
The eldest girl had a delicate face, and even at a young age, her innate beauty was undeniable.
The sudden loud noise surprised her slightly:
"What was that sound? It made my ears hurt a little."
The two little girls beside her were also rubbing their ears with troubled expressions, the same discomfort making them feel uneasy.
Unexpectedly, with a series of light footsteps, several women of outstanding beauty walked out of the cabin.
One of them, her voice stern but full of concern, questioned:
"Hancock, and you two, why are you so disobedient? You actually secretly followed us out here."
Hancock did not answer, but instead asked,
"Did you hear an explosion?"
The women of the Kuja Pirates looked at each other, their brows furrowed.
They quickly realized the seriousness of the situation, their voices tinged with helplessness:
"This is near the Navy G5 Branch; it seems another pirate crew is attacking it."
Hancock's eyes lit up, the war between the Navy and the pirates stirring waves in her heart.
She ran coquettishly to the woman who had come to question them, gently tugging at the other's clothes,
"Can we go take a look?"
Her voice was irresistibly cute.
Faced with Hancock's request, the woman was clearly hesitant.
She knew in her heart that such observation could bring endless trouble.
But no one could resist Hancock's charm.
She could only compromise in the end,
"We can only look from a distance."
Although they were not afraid of the Navy or the pirates, unnecessary trouble was always a headache.
......
G5 Branch.
The pirates abandoned their ships and frantically launched an assault on the naval base.
Wails and battle cries mingled together, filled with the cruelty of war.
Whizzing bullets traced dense paths in the air.
The sounds of gunfire between the pirates and the Navy were incessant.
Although the pirates were brave, they unfortunately encountered invisible attacks during their charge.
Some people suddenly fell to the beach without warning, clutching their suddenly severed thighs and wailing; they could not understand the sudden attack from whence it came.
One after another, lightning bolts flashed their fangs in the clear sky, the descending thunderbolts like the Grim Reaper wielding his scythe, striking directly into the pirates' bodies.
Then, charred silhouettes collapsed on the sand, never to rise again.
Such bizarre attack methods filled the remaining pirates' hearts with fear.
But faced with a life-or-death battlefield, they did not choose to retreat, but instead unleashed an even more frenzied fighting spirit, charging forward without hesitation.
Because they knew that the retreat was cut off.
The ships left behind by the pirates were like the wreckage of those who had been judged, none of the dozens of ships spared.
They had no way out, caught between the burning pirate ships and the enemy's gunfire.
"Charge, brothers! Today, either we die, or they do!"
"......"
Jin An stood at the entrance of the base,
The bullets flying through the air could not harm him.
"Doflamingo and Enel's abilities have so much room to play on this kind of battlefield."
Doflamingo stood beside Jin An,
'Alas, the city wall that I finally repaired has now been destroyed again.'
Enel descended from the air,
"It doesn't matter; I found a lot of good stuff in the pirate ships."
"We can ask craftsmen to come and repair it later; maybe we can even reinforce the defenses."
"......"
Amidst laughter and conversation, another group of pirates turned to ashes without even a scream.
