Chapter 391: Garp's Shocking Feat!
Chapter 391: Garp's Shocking Feat!
Thanks to Cipher Pol's excellent Intelligence work, the World Government naturally knew about the existence of the Airship Troops and the Matter of their Renovation of Airplanes.
Therefore, the Marines specifically proposed to the Command Department to have the Air Force assist in Combat.
Subsequently, the Command Department Reported to Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, who then continued to Report to Im.
Finally, Im summoned a personal Star Gate connecting to the Star Gate in the Demon Slayer World to Teleport Stussy there, allowing her to use her Mini-Mini Fruit Ability to help Transport three Flying Warships, and then return to Noah's Ark, which was still on the Moon, through the Star Gate.
This was the Privilege of being the Master of the Star Chart.
He could create a Star Gate connecting to any other Star Gate at any time for Space Teleportation, and which end of the Star Gate he Teleported to was entirely up to his Will.
Quite Convenient.
It was precisely for this reason that Borsalino, as an Air Force Admiral, appeared Above this Battlefield.
[Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat—]
In the Sky Above the Kamchatka Strait, the first to react were the fifteen Biplanes equipped with Heavy Machine Guns. Their basic Duty was to Escort the Airships.
Although the Large Birds or giant Insects that the Air Force Officers Manifested into seemed like Demons in the eyes of these pilots.
This did not prevent them from Screaming in terror while pulling the Trigger of their Machine Guns, firing Bullet after Bullet from the Gunfire Flash at the Muzzles.
Whatever it is, Shoot first and see!
Instantly, fifteen streams of Machine Gun fire, combined with the Heavy Machine Guns on the Airships themselves, tore the Sky apart with a Bullet Rain, attempting to Intercept the Monsters charging towards them.
However, these Bullets were either Dodged or endured head-on with Influence or Insect Armor.
Some Air Force Officers using Sky Walk even simply swung the Katanas in their hands quickly, Slashing them away one by one, without anyone being injured at all.
"Is this an Airplane? It's so Slow!"
Lieutenant Colonel Emerson Vibrated the thin wings behind him at high frequency, creating a huge Buzzing Sound like a Sonic Boom within the blurred Afterimages.
He easily caught up to a Biplane with a single turn, and then, amidst the terrified Scream of the two pilots inside, easily Pierced the fuselage with his long, pointed Proboscis.
The Scene was like being cruelly Hunted by a Mutated giant Mosquito!
That's right.
He was precisely an Animal System Bug-Bug Fruit White-Striped Mosquito Form Ability User.
And near Lieutenant Colonel Emerson, there were more than a dozen other Ability Users with strange appearances and varying sizes, but all clearly Mosquitoes.
Aedes Mosquitoes, Toxorhynchites Mosquitoes, Culex Mosquitoes, Black Mosquitoes, as well as various Bees, Wasps, Beetles, Flies, Butterflies, Moths...
Plus Ability Users in the Form of Birds such as Seagulls, Sparrows, Magpies, Crows, Owls, etc.
It could be said.
In order to assemble the Air Force Unit as quickly as possible, the Five Elders essentially took out most of the Zoan-type Devil Fruits confirmed to have Flying Ability from the Holy Land Treasury.
Only leaving behind some Rare Mythical Zoan or Ancient Zoan Fruits...
They were like true Demons, Destroying one Biplane after another, and then, under the watchful eyes of both Fleets, brutally Tearing apart those seemingly enormous Airships.
They didn't even manage to fly Above Kuzan's side, falling towards their own Fleet with full holds of Bombs, turning into expanding Balls of Fire and Shockwaves that Engulfed the unfortunate Warships of all sizes nearby.
This greatly boosted the Morale of the Marines on Kuzan's side, while the Morale of the European Alliance Fleet was Severely damaged.
"Monsters, they are Monsters... we are fighting Monsters, no, we are Feeding them..."
"Lord, are we truly going against your Holy Will...?"
At this moment, many people began to Panic. Some were Trembling, some were Murmuring, and some were Praying in low voices, but their Expressions were uniformly Pale.
"Give orders! Anti-Aircraft Gun Firepower, Full!"
"Immediately contact the rear Fleet, send the Situation here back, and have them send all Airplanes and Airships over to Entangle those Monsters in the Sky!"
"Have the Minesweepers clear a few Safety Routes as quickly as possible. The enemy only has..."
Just as Admiral Jarvis from John Bull Country was issuing one Order after another to the entire Warship, a Messenger rushed in.
"Sir, Vice Admiral Timur of the Submarine Squadron has sent an Emergency Report! They are under Attack by a large number of unknown Sea Monsters at sixty meters Underwater!"
At the same time.
Fisher Tiger, who had just joined the Marines not long ago, was leading a hundred Fish-men in Attacking the Black Submarines that resembled Sea Beasts, one by one.
Some of them Hammered the Surface with their Fists, leaving Dents and Pits on the Submarines.
The terrifying Loud Noise made the Alliance Marines inside Terrified. The only thing they could do was Launch Torpedoes under the Commander's Orders.
But while these were fine for Attacking Warships, trying to Hit Fish-men who were only two or three meters Underwater was simply too Difficult.
As for Mines, they definitely didn't dare to Deploy them.
Otherwise, if a Fish-man really Exploded, their Submarines definitely couldn't withstand it at such close Distance.
It must be said.
The existence of the Fishman Special Forces was simply like a Natural Enemy to the Submarines of this Era!
On the Sea.
Kuzan also began leading his Fleet into a Fierce battle against the European Alliance Fleet, which outnumbered them several times over. Separated by several kilometers, even up to ten kilometers, both sides continuously fired Cannonballs.
A Cannon Rain filled the air, Whistling constantly. Due to the sheer number of shells, some Cannonballs even Collided in mid-air and Detonated simultaneously!
The thick smell of Gunsmoke, Accompanied By columns of water, elevated the Atmosphere of the entire Naval Warfare to its peak.
However, the huge Gap in the Number of ships put Kuzan's Fleet at a Disadvantage from the start.
Even if the Fire Control Systems of this Era were unreliable, each wave of Bombardment always had a dozen or so Cannonballs accurately targeting various Parts of the Warships.
Fortunately, the Marine Officers on the Deck were Elite enough.
Using the Blades in their hands, the Tempest Kicks they unleashed, and the Flying Finger Pistols they fired, they created a slightly chaotic but very reliable Anti-aircraft system for their respective Warships.
Those menacing Cannonballs, with Speed too fast for the Meat eye to catch, couldn't even get within a hundred meters of the Warships!
Even if there were some Stragglers, they would be Defended against by various strange Devil Fruit Abilities.
For example, that one.
A Paramecia System Jade-Jade Fruit Ability User, who created a white and green Jade Barrier out of thin air, allowing Cannonballs to Bombard it relentlessly.
Although Jade fragments were Flying everywhere from the Exploding impacts, the Warship was completely unharmed.
At the same time.
Some Aggressive Marine Officers directly used Moonwalk to Charge towards the European Alliance Fleet.
Each of them had Speed either approaching the Speed of sound or breaking through multiple Sound Barriers, barely any Slower than the Cannonballs.
And as soon as they boarded a Deck, a Bloody Storm would immediately erupt on that Warship. Everywhere they went, people were Decapitated, Dismembered Limbs and Bodies Splattered everywhere, and the mournful Screams were like a Living Hell.
Kuzan, the current Admiral Candidate at Marine Headquarters, just watched all of this silently.
Now, it wasn't time for him to Make a move yet.
On the other side.
Sengoku and Garp were in their respective Sea Areas, watching as Steel-Reinforced Warships, with Black Smoke billowing into the Sky, were Shattered under the Rampage of their Marine Officers.
Neither Dreadnoughts nor Cruisers could withstand a Sword Master's Flying Slash Attack at all. Where the Blade Light flashed, they were Cut in half instantly!
It's just that their Number was a bit too large.
In this World, ten Warships were enough to form a Buster Call, but before them were one or two hundred Ironclad Warships!
To be honest.
A Naval Warfare of such a Scale, even they were encountering it for the first time in their lives.
This made both of them a little Eager to fight...
About two hours later, Scenes like Natural Disasters began to appear on the Battlefields in the three Sea Areas.
North.
The Kamchatka Strait instantly returned to the Ice Age. The surging Sea Waves, along with the Warships within them, turned into Frost and were Frozen.
East.
Over the Pacific Ocean, a Golden Buddha appeared at High Altitude amidst the sky-filling Golden Light. Immediately after, a Buddha Palm was sent out, and the pale golden Shockwave, like a towering Giant Bowl, covered the massive Fleet from the Americas.
South.
Under countless terrified Gazes, Garp Dented a Cruiser from India Monkey Country with his feet, lifted a Destroyer from Philippines Monkey Country with both hands, and then Threw it towards a Battleship from Australia Kangaroo Country!
This Scene caused the Minds of the Marines on the distant Alliance Warships to Collapse, making them involuntarily kneel on the Deck.
They frantically Kowtowed, Begging for mercy, and Wailing...
