Chapter 72 Yang Hao Defense Battle
It was getting dark, and the Chambord Islands gradually returned to quiet. However, the streets were temporarily tightened due to the Tianlong incident during the day. Teams of naval soldiers patrolled back and forth, and the pirates on the entire island were panicked.
All the criminals who stayed on the island have become much more honest. As many as 500 pirates were arrested on the entire island due to the Tianlong incident. The power of General Kizaru also greatly frightened the people hiding in dark corners. The pirates inside.
In Mangrove District No. 41, not long after the riots occurred, the Flying Fish Knights, led by their boss Dibaru, came to the berth of the Thousand Sunny. They were entrusted by Sanji to temporarily protect the Thousand Sunny, even on the island. No matter how chaotic it was, they never left their posts without permission.
"My dear friends, the whereabouts of the young masters are unknown. Now is the time for us, as friends, to intervene. The situation on the island is very chaotic now. There may be thieves with unknown origins who want to steal the young masters' boat. Come on, how can we, who always believe in repaying kindness, allow such a thing to happen, we must protect this ship even if we risk our lives, do you hear me, kids?"
"Yes, handsome boss."
Dibaru delivered an impassioned mobilization speech, and his subordinates who had been in adversity with him also responded positively. Since the eldest brother was turned into a handsome boy, they have gained more face when walking on the street. The beautiful sisters who used to be scared away before even saying hello can finally talk to each other. This is all due to the eldest brother. Now the eldest brother They do whatever they are told.
There were faint traces of the navy in the woods on the shore. If they discovered this ship, the Thousand Sunny would definitely be towed away as a trophy or directly blown up and sunk.
"Little ones, the opportunity has come, now is the time for us to repay our kindness."
Navy spies have discovered this place, and the nearby garrison has also sent out overnight to outflank it. The younger brothers' request to withdraw to the sea immediately was rejected by Dibalu. Now that the whereabouts of the young masters are unknown, it is absolutely not allowed to move the berthing position of the ship at will. If they come back from the flight, they will lose their only chance to escape to the sea. Even if they hold on hard, they must hold on until they find the news of the young masters. until.
Not long after, the Flying Fish Knights fought with the Navy's forward troops. They didn't know the news that all members of the Straw Hats had been defeated. The Flying Fish Knights who were sent out to find out the news didn't bring back any useful information. They can only protect their benefactor's ship with their passion.
It was getting late and the lights were on in the bar.
Xiao Ba's injury was serious and he had to stay here to recuperate. Kemi and Papagu stayed here to take care of him. They decided to wait for Xiao Ba's injury to improve before returning to Fish-Man Island. With Uncle Lei Li around, there was no need to worry about their safety. The group and Su Wei said goodbye and left, preparing to return to the Thousand Sunny. Without Luffy, the task of guarding the Thousand Sunny fell on the four of them.
Yi Xing, Su Wei, Perona, and Qianbal are all the fighting force. Although the number is small, it is still enough to operate the Thousand Sunny. Walking on the way to the Thousand Sunny, the group released their spiritual senses to observe the situation of the Thousand Sunny. The battle between the Flying Fish Knights and the navy did not escape his search. It seemed that the two sides had just started fighting, and the warships responsible for outflanking the ship at sea were still there. Not in place.
"The Navy has discovered the Thousand Sunny. Dibaru is leading the Flying Fish Knights to resist the Navy's attack. I am taking the first step."
There was a crisis on the Thousand Sunny, and the group decided to go alone first. Dibaru's combat power was limited, and he could resist the ordinary navy, but he would be powerless when encountering a fleet.
"I also need to go."
The group wanted to take the first step, and Perona also wanted to follow. At this time, she wished she could be with him all the time.
"No, you are too slow. I can go faster by myself."
"Nonsense, my speed is very fast, otherwise it would be better to compete with who can get to the Thousand Sunny first."
This kind of questioning made Perona very dissatisfied, and she proposed the idea of testing the speed.
"Okay, I won't wait for you, I'm leaving first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out. Although he could fly in the air for a short time, his running speed was still faster, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Time is running out now. The Thousand Sunny may be occupied by the navy at any time, and there is no room for any delay on his part.
"Then I leave my body to you."
The spirit body came out of the physical body, and Perona immediately followed. Qiangbal carried Perona's physical body and moved forward with Su Wei. The two of them also immediately accelerated their speed towards the Thousand Sunny.
On the side of the Thousand Sunny, the Flying Fish Knights temporarily had the upper hand in the battle with the navy by virtue of their air superiority. However, the Flying Fish Knights responsible for reconnaissance in the sky reported that a large number of navy were gathering here. When the navy reinforcements arrived, the one who would be at a disadvantage would definitely be them. The only way was to immediately move the ship to another place to hide it, but the young masters had not returned yet and they could not decide to sail the ship without authorization. The matter was really in a dilemma.
"Boss, let's go quickly. The navy's reinforcements will arrive in five minutes. The brothers in the air reported that the navy has brought a large number of mortars. It is impossible for us to stop the shells."
The situation has reached a point where a decision must be made without delay. No matter where the Straw Hats and the others are, the ship must be moved to another place immediately.
"Boss, it's not good. The warships sent by the navy have also come around from the sea. If we don't leave, it will be too late."
Attention has always been attracted by the navy on the ground, but the warships at sea have been ignored. The local garrison not only dispatched ground troops, but also warships. It won't be long before the Qianyang will be exposed to the range of naval guns. Inside.
At this critical moment, the hurried party finally caught up, running wildly and knocking out all the navies who blocked the way, and finally boarded the Thousand Sunny before Dibaru ordered the ship to sail.
"Great. You are finally back. You have fulfilled your mission. This ship has finally been returned to you unscathed."
The return of the group made Dibaru mistakenly believe that Luffy and others would return soon, and temporarily issued an order to stop the transfer. The young masters are famous pirates, and a few warships will not be taken seriously by them. Just now, he was really frightened by the power of the navy.
"Leave the warships at sea to me. The navy on land will continue to help me deal with it for a while. I'm sorry to bother you."
There was no time to explain that the threat at sea must be eliminated immediately. The group took off and flew towards the three warships that were getting closer and closer. The warship was not far away, and soon he landed on the deck of the warship. In order to show his power, he directly beat all the cannons installed on the bow of the ship into scrap metal without saying a word.
"Turn around and leave, or I will sink the entire warship next time."
Verbal threats had no effect at all. The navy on the battleship was indeed well-trained. They were not afraid to directly surround them. The other two battleships also aimed their cannons at this place. If they disagreed, they would sink the friendly ships. posture.
If it weren't for the terrifying power of punching the scrap steel cannon, these navy soldiers would have rushed up long ago. The densely packed navy surrounded him on the bow deck, but no one dared to rush up directly to die, but even if they were still in their hearts, They were afraid and showed no signs of running away.
"It's really well-trained."
In the view of the group, it is very valuable that these navy who have witnessed his terror can persist in not retreating. After all, they may become colleagues in the future, and he cannot be too heavy-handed, so he has to eliminate their threat for the time being.
The cannons of two other warships were disabled, the sails of three warships were torn, and all the rudders were damaged. The three naval warships completely lost their combat capabilities and the power to continue sailing. After the threat at sea was eliminated, the group no longer bothered to care about the naval soldiers on the ship, and returned directly to the land.
"Wow, little sister is really awesome. These navy soldiers are no match for her."
Perona had already arrived here, and the Flying Fish Knights were standing behind her, cheering loudly, and whistling one after another. All the marines who were hit by her ability knelt on the ground in frustration and lost their combat effectiveness. The members of the Flying Fish Knights who assisted on the side easily disarmed the marine soldiers.
Not long after, Su Wei and Qiang Baer also arrived here, and the navy's reinforcements failed many times. Reinforcements from the pirate side have arrived. It is impossible for them to capture the pirate ship alone. The success rate of the mission has become very low. After consulting with his superiors, the naval officer in charge had to issue an order to stop the attack. After receiving the order to evacuate, the four people who got a breather temporarily drove the Thousand Sunny to the sea with the help of the Dibaru Flying Fish Group.
"Hey, if we drive the boat away like this, what will the young master and the others do?"
The incident had just happened, and the news of the Straw Hat Pirates' defeat and collapse had not yet spread. It was normal for Dibaru not to know. They could insist on protecting the Thousand Sunny. This kind of loyalty is really rare.
"Let me ask you a question. Today I sent many brothers to the sky to search for the whereabouts of the young masters. They searched almost everywhere, but still found nothing. What happened, and where did they hide? As long as they are on this island, they should not be able to escape our search. Has something happened?"
"They can't come back for the time being, but they are all well now. The reason why you can't find any trace of them is because they are really no longer on this island. I won't lie to you."
Dibalu was very loyal and would never leak the news. Luffy and the others had no intention of hiding anything that happened today from them. He simply told them everything that happened today, and the group fell into silence collectively.
The Thousand Sunny sailed quietly on the sea, and the absence of Luffy and the others made the ship very deserted. Although there were more people on the whole ship, the group always felt that something was out of place. He was used to Luffy's laughter and Zoro and Sanji's slapstick. Now that everyone was gone, he felt particularly awkward. As expected, Luffy They are the best people to be on this ship.
"What do you mean you can't come back? How could they leave this island without a ship? Could it be that the young master gave up the ship?"
"Luffy and the others have gone far away for the time being. It will take a long time to get back. During this time, I will continue to trouble you to help protect the Thousand Sunny."
He still didn't tell the news that Luffy and the others were beaten away. He just used the excuse that Luffy and others were in an emergency and couldn't come back for the time being.
"Look what you said. The young masters are not here. Of course the man Dibalu will protect the benefactors' ship. You can rest assured and leave it to me."
The Thousand Sunny was temporarily moored in the sea base harbor of Dibalu. A few people in the group temporarily lived on the ship while the Flying Fish Knights returned to the base to repair. Many of them were injured in tonight's battle. Welfare "hongcha866" Weixin official account, see more
