Chapter 11: Giant Fist Pirates
Early morning.
The sea area on the edge of Rogue Town.
The white fog was diffused, as if covering this sea area with a hazy veil.
As the sun rose, a patrol ship also passed through the white fog and kept sailing on the sea.
On the deck of the cabin, the navy in white uniforms was working in an orderly manner. On the lookout tower of the mast, there were also marines observing with telescopes.
...
Coles woke up on time.
Then he started to brush his teeth and wash his face, and went to the cafeteria on the second deck for breakfast.
Along the way, he met many recruits who greeted him.
Coles remained cold and did not respond. After all, as the strongest of the strongest recruits, he has always been an image of strangers not to be approached.
Today's breakfast is a sandwich.
The ingredients of the sandwich are very simple, just two triangular slices of bread, sandwiched with ham, vegetables, cheese and cheese, the taste can only be said to be good.
After breakfast.
Coles walked to the deck and began to look at the sea ahead.
The sea was clear and blue, and some small fish jumped out of the water from time to time, which was particularly beautiful.
Today was the fifth day that Coles and his team had boarded the patrol ship, but unfortunately, they did not encounter any pirates during this period, let alone a battle.
This was also very normal.
Because the navy often sent patrol ships out to sweep pirates. Although there were many pirates, the number of pirates was extremely scattered in this vast sea, and it was impossible to meet them as soon as they went out to sea.
During this period, Kahn did not let the recruits idle, and sent various duties to the recruits, such as observing the sea area, taking turns to keep watch, inspecting ships, etc.
In the absence of encountering pirates, the sea patrol was still very leisurely.
At least compared to the training in the previous two months, the current situation is much more relaxed.
The recruits and veterans gradually became familiar with each other in the conversations over the past few days.
Coles took a pointer and began to judge the current position of the patrol ship according to the wind direction.
Since he knew that he had traveled to the pirate world, in addition to exercising every day, he was also thirsty for knowledge about the sea.
After all, it is a pirate world where islands are surrounded by the ocean. If you want to travel on the sea in the future, navigation knowledge is indispensable.
Therefore, when Coles was ten years old, he often ran to Grandpa Pro alone to ask about navigation information.
Grandpa Pro was cold to people, but he was once a navigator of a pirate group. He traveled through the first half of the Grand Line and mastered a lot of navigation knowledge.
At first, Grandpa Pro ignored Coles at all, but under Coles's persistent show of goodwill and free firewood, he finally chose to accept him and taught him navigation knowledge one by one.
Now Coles has no problem even serving as a navigator on the ship.
Three minutes later.
Based on the current wind direction and the speed of the patrol ship, he finally came to the conclusion:
The patrol ship should have arrived at the entrance of the Grand Line now!
And here, from time to time, there are pirates who want to break through the Upside-Down Mountain to enter the Grand Line.
It is estimated that it will not take long for Coles and his patrol ship to run into the pirate group.
Because it was not his turn to observe duty for the time being, Coles returned to the dormitory in the cabin and began to meditate.
...
However, reality is often a little biased.
It was not until the ninth day that the patrol ship actually encountered the pirate ship.
On the deck, Kahn was holding a telescope, observing the pirate ship in the distance to confirm the other party's information.
"The Giant Fist Pirates with a bounty of 10 million?"
After putting down the telescope, Kahn couldn't help but frown slightly. The strength of this pirate group was a bit beyond the scope for the recruits.
He originally just wanted to find some pirate groups with 4 or 5 million to hone the recruits.
However, since they met...
then they must not let the other party run away.
Although the pirate group with 10 million is a bit beyond the scope, there is a capable person like Coles among the recruits, so they can compete and collide.
Kahn stretched out his hand to signal Mod next to him: "Notify all the soldiers on the ship to prepare for battle, and the gunners will start to fire at the pirate ship in front."
"Yes, Major!"
Mod immediately began to convey the order.
Boom!
A cannonball with a sound of breaking through the air, after passing through the sky, hit the side of the Giant Fist Pirates fiercely, causing a wave.
The pirates on the pirate ship were suddenly in a panic.
"Where did the attack come from?"
"Damn it, they actually attacked our Giant Fist Pirates? Who is it?"
"Navy?! It's the Navy!"
At the same time, more artillery fire came.
The helmsman on the pirate ship hurriedly controlled the direction and just narrowly avoided the bombing.
But this also caused the hull to flip upside down.
A young pirate quickly rushed into the cabin and reported to the figure sitting inside who was three meters tall.
"Captain, something bad has happened! A navy patrol ship has attacked us!"
A pair of eyes like a beast were opened.
"It's just the navy, what's there to be afraid of! Huh?"
The young pirate who came in to report was a little frightened and hurriedly explained: "Captain, that's a patrol ship! There are at least more than a hundred navy soldiers on it, and there are only sixty people in our pirate group. Let's retreat quickly!"
The figure in the dark slowly stood up. He was nearly five meters tall and had a strong body.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The captain of the Giant Fist Pirates strangled the young pirate's neck as if he were controlling a little chicken.
The young pirate's neck was strangled, and he suddenly felt out of breath. He tried his best with his hands but couldn't pry away a finger of the person in front of him. His legs kicked wildly but it had no effect at all. His face gradually turned purple!
"No, no, Captain!..."
The young pirate could only make feeble and intermittent pleas for mercy.
Finally, when the young pirate was about to expire, Yoron threw the young sailor away and then shouted orders to the pirates outside.
"It's just a patrol ship. What are we, the Giant Fist Pirates, afraid of? Just get close to it and I will sink that patrol ship."
As Yoron walked out of the cabin, his fleshy face was directly revealed, and the violent look in his eyes made people dare not look directly at him.
…
On the patrol ship.
The navy recruits all gathered on the deck. After waiting for so long, the time for the official battle with the pirates finally arrived.
Among them, most of the new recruits are still a little nervous. After all, they have been kidnapped by the William Pirates before, and there will inevitably be a shadow in their hearts.
in this tense atmosphere.
Mod suddenly discovered the unusual behavior of the Giant Fist Pirates and quickly reported it to his superior.
"Major Kahn, the Giant Fist Pirates did not escape. Instead, they came closer to us. It seems that they want to engage in a follow-up battle."
"Yeah?"
Kahn picked up the telescope, confirmed the intentions of the giant fist pirates on the opposite side, and then ordered.
"In this case, then first cover the opponent with a round of artillery bombardment to consume their strength, and then engage in a boarding battle with them."
The first key points in the battle between navy and pirates:
Take advantage.
Boom boom boom!
The artillery fire continued.
The hull of the Giant Fist Pirates was attacked by artillery shells, and the mast in the middle of the hull was directly broken. Afterwards, even if they wanted to escape, they could not escape.
After a while, the distance between the pirate ship and the patrol ship was not far apart.
"shot!"
On the patrol ship.
Kahn gave the order for the navy recruits who had already prepared to attack.
Bang bang bang bang!
There was a burst of gunfire.
It's a pity that although these recruits have practiced their marksmanship well on the training ground, once they go to the battlefield, their bullets fail to hit the target.
On the other side, the Giant Fist Pirates also started to fight back, and gunshots continued to resound in the sea area.
boom!
Coles pulled the trigger, and the bullet directly hit a pirate in the head. He suppressed all the messy thoughts in his heart and aimed the gun at other pirates again.
This was not the first time he killed someone with his own hands. The pirate Arden was the first one he killed last time.
boom! boom! boom!
Finally, amidst the sound of gunfire, the pirate ship and the patrol ship collided with each other.
Next, it’s time to continue the battle!
