Chapter 56 Maud fired the first shot of the war
There are still three hours left before the public execution——
All over the world, countless people are watching the upcoming public executions with all kinds of phone bug devices.
"There are only three hours left, and Whitebeard hasn't appeared yet..."
"Do you think Whitebeard will go? Although he is Whitebeard, he is also quite old."
"Who knows..."
"I haven't seen Whitebeard make any movement in the sea for many years."
"He's already an old pirate."
"Nothing to worry about, have you ever seen a defeat in the Navy Headquarters?"
"Hey, don't compare Whitebeard with the average old man."
"Even children know the horror of Whitebeard, so don't be too optimistic."
Similar debates are playing out all over the world.
Chambord Islands.
The square was crowded.
Three huge screens hanging in the air were playing the pictures of Marin Vando in real time.
Through the screen switching from time to time, you can see the crescent-shaped harbour and the entire island, surrounded by a full 50 heavyweight warships.
On the shore of the Crescent Moon Harbor, countless heavy cannons were erected.
The firepower that is enough to make the conventional pirates feel desperate, as if the navy is showing a message to the Whitebeard Pirates - let the horses come!
And in the position behind the countless heavy cannons, what can be seen is the five Qiwuhai who are at the forefront of the army and hold some of the keys to the battle.
"Cunning Gun Maud!"
"Tenyasha Doflamingo!"
"Tyrant Bartholomew Bear!"
"Pirate Queen Hancock!"
"The strongest swordsman in the world, Hawkeye Mihawk!"
"Qiwuhai... Are there only five here?"
People's eyes focused on the five figures at the forefront of the army, as if they saw a high wall standing on the harbor that was more reassuring than the countless heavy artillery.
When you look over the Shichibukai, which is like a high wall, it is a flat and wide square.
All the famous navies gathered from all over the world, a total of 100,000 elites, were distributed in various places in the square.
The most striking among them are undoubtedly the giant lieutenant generals who are more than ten meters tall.
They are like door gods, guarding in front of the execution platform that is a section higher than them.
On the execution platform, there is a man covered in injuries kneeling—the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace!
"And...two hours."
At the bottom of the screen, countless people looked at Fire Fist Ace on the execution platform, looking forward to it.
Journalists and photographers flocked from all over the world, all with high concentration, watching every move of the public execution through the screen broadcast.
Their main responsibility is not only to report the situation to the world at the fastest speed, but also to shoulder the heavy responsibility of spreading the public image data to the whole world in the shortest time.
Marin Vando.
All the forces of justice that can be imagined have gathered in the square in front of the execution stand.
When the execution was approaching, the surveillance ship sent by the navy side was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all.
Since the sighting information of the Whitebeard Pirates could not be obtained, as the execution time counted down, the atmosphere of Marine Fando became more tense.
No one knows when and where the Whitebeard Pirates will come.
The only thing that is certain is that the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely come!
because,
On this sea, no one knows that the Whitebeard Pirates will hunt down those who harm their partners to the ends of the earth.
There were 100,000 elites gathered in the square, but it was so quiet that no sound came out.
There was a heavy breath in the air.
"Tattoo—"
A burst of footsteps came from the high platform below the execution platform. In this quiet square where needles could be heard falling, it was like a stone smashed into the water, splashing a lot of water.
The navy standing in line all looked up at the high platform.
"It's the generals!"
In the eyes of all the navy, three tall figures, one red, one white and one yellow, were reflected.
The generals Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru came to the high platform and sat directly on the back chairs that had been placed in advance.
The highest combat power of the three naval headquarters is the last line of defense before the execution stand!
Their arrival, like a reassurance pill, boosted the confidence of the navy.
When the generals were in place, Admiral Sengoku climbed the stairs leading to the execution platform and came to Fire Fist Ace.
"Marshal of the Warring States!"
Noticing the appearance of the Marshal of the Warring States Period, all the navy's eyes turned to look at the execution platform.
Warring States was in a good posture, holding a phone bug in his hand, and said calmly: "I have something to announce to everyone, it is about the great significance of Portkas. D. Ace's execution today..."
"..."
The square fell silent again.
Countless eyes gathered on the Marshal of the Warring States Period on the execution platform.
Ace lowered his head, as if realizing something, his eyes trembled slightly.
Sengoku glanced down at Ace and said straight to the point: "Portkas D. Ace has the most evil blood in the world, that's right... His father is the Pirate King Gol D. Roger! "
"!!!"
Hearing the words of the Warring States period, the whole audience shook, including the people in front of the broadcast screen.
"The 'news' some time ago is true!"
"Fire Fist Ace... It really is the son of Pirate King Roger!"
People who were skeptical about this news at first were shocked when they heard the real hammer of the Warring States Marshal.
It is no wonder that the Navy Headquarters risked a war with the Whitebeard Pirates, and at all costs, put the death penalty on Fire Fist Ace in the most solemn way!
"No, my dad is Whitebeard!!!"
When everything was quiet, Ace used all his strength to shout loudly to refute Sengoku's statement.
"That's the problem."
Sengoku stared at Ace and said solemnly: "When we finally realized that Roger's bloodline was not cut off, Whitebeard, who realized this at the same time as us, even did not hesitate to become an opponent in order to train you to become the next One Piece. Take your son to your own boat!"
Ace said hoarsely: "No, I only boarded the ship to make my dad become the Pirate King!"
"The only person who thinks so is actually yourself. In fact, the reason why we have never shot against you is precisely because you are protected by the white beard!"
Having said that, a killing intent flashed in Sengoku's eyes looking at Ace.
"If you leave the Roger bloodline alone, with your aptitude and the help of Whitebeard, you will eventually reach the pinnacle of the next era of pirates, so I will take down your head here today, It's of great significance!"
"..."
Ace gritted his teeth and looked at Sengoku next to him.
Facing Ace's gaze, Sengoku took a deep breath, suddenly raised the volume, and said loudly: "For this reason, even if it evolves into a full-scale war with Whitebeard!"
Righteous and serious speeches are transmitted to the world through telephone bugs.
The many doubts involved in the public execution of Fire Fist Ace were explained at this moment.
Today's public execution facing the whole world is not for the purpose of confrontation with the Whitebeard Pirates.
Instead, the reason is to cut off the most evil bloodline in the world!
"Furfur, this is really interesting."
After the heavy artillery on the shore, Doflamingo looked at the situation on the execution platform and sneered.
Hancock leaned on his knees and leaned against a white and red-spotted python named Salome, as if he was aloof and had nothing to do with him.
Hawkeye folded his arms and glanced at the execution platform with a blank expression, but he silently retracted his gaze.
Maud was looking at the waters directly in front of Crescent Harbor.
The sea is gradually misty, hazy like a veil.
"coming."
Maud narrowed his eyes.
What he said attracted the attention of Doflamingo, Hawkeye, and Hancock beside him.
They turned to look at the sea directly ahead.
A huge ship slowly emerged from the mist.
at the same time.
The Navy also noticed the Pirate Grand Fleet coming from the front.
"Where did it come from?"
On the execution platform, Sengoku frowned at the fleet ship shadow far away.
The door of justice did not open, but the white-bearded pirate fleet unknowingly arrived at the front.
I always felt that some important information was missing, which made Warring States feel uneasy.
"Everyone is ready for battle!"
The voice of the Warring States was transmitted to every corner of Marin Vando through the phone bug.
Whoa!
The navy on the square turned one by one, facing the sea, looking at the huge pirate ships of various shapes.
"Ranger Dorma, Leiqing Makugai, Ice Witch Wydibe, Skuard the Great Vortex Spider, Brother Decalban..."
"These outstanding people are all captains who are famous in the new world!"
"But...there are a total of 43 pirate ships, but only Whitebeard and the captains are missing!!!"
Through the flags on the sails of the pirate ships, the navy can easily identify the origin of each pirate ship, and without exception, they are all pirates under Whitebeard.
However, the Whitebeard Pirates have never been seen.
"We're here... Ace."
"Have you seen Brother Ace?"
"On the execution stand, hum, these damn navy!"
On every pirate ship in the pirate fleet, the captains who are famous in the new world raised their eyes to the execution platform in the distance.
Even in front of the navy headquarters that gathered 100,000 elite troops, these captains, and even the crew on the ship, were all fearless.
The spirit of the New World Pirates is evident.
Crescent Harbor.
"Quickly confirm the location of Whitebeard!"
"Prepare for bombardment!"
"As soon as the enemy enters the range, fire the artillery immediately!"
Seeing the Pirate Fleet approaching from far and near, the admiral in charge of the harbour coast responded quickly.
Before the two sides enter the range of each other, the artillery bombardment prepared in advance is the most lethal long-range attack method.
On the harbor, red light flashed in Maud's eyes, and his eyes passed the pirate ships one by one, and finally stopped on one of the pirate ships.
It was a pirate ship with a caterpillar skull in the sail flag pattern. On the bow of the ship, which looked like a caterpillar's head, there were actually thirteen artillery pieces.
This pirate ship is undoubtedly the ship with the most exaggerated frontal firepower in the entire fleet.
Since the artillery was arranged at the bow, sufficient shells were prepared in advance on the deck near the bow.
"Deraxi Pirates."
With the information provided by the Navy Headquarters, Maud easily recognized the origin of the other party through the flag pattern of the pirate ship with amazing firepower configuration.
"The possibility of long-distance sniping is basically zero, but..."
Maud drew out the flintlock spear that Bailey had transformed into, and aimed directly at the location of the Draxy pirate ship.
Seeing Maud's move, a strange color flashed in Hancock's eyes.
No matter how accurate the marksmanship is, shooting at this distance is meaningless, not to mention that the enemies are all powerful pirates from the new world.
Hawkeye and Doflamingo also noticed Maud's move.
Including the navies who were responsible for the firepower attack nearby, they also saw Maud who was aiming his gun.
"How can a flintlock gun alone cause substantial damage at such a distance?!"
The gunners on the naval side, and even the snipers, looked at Maud in amazement.
"Is it a preview?"
They can only understand the motives of Maud's gun.
In their opinion, sniping at this distance has no other possibility than wasting bullets.
After all, the enemy is not some unknown person.
And even if the enemy is not a pirate from the New World, anyone with a little strength will rely on sufficient reaction space to avoid gunshots 100% under this gun distance.
Theoretically it is normal.
But not for mod.
Aim, load.
"boom--!"
Maud pulled the trigger.
The lead bullets that rolled out of the gun barrel passed through the pungent gunpowder and went straight into the distance.
The sound of gunfire resounded in the harbor and the square at this moment.
All the navies who were waiting in battle couldn't help but look at the person who fired the gun - the sly gun Maud.
"Isn't it still out of range!?"
Many navies wondered about Maud's first shot in the war.
Central Army.
The tea dolphin, who was standing side by side with many lieutenant generals, pouted and looked in the direction of the harbor, shook his head and said, "That guy Maud, in order to be in the limelight, he wouldn't do this."
"He doesn't seem like the type of person who would do pointless things in order to be in the limelight."
Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel frowned slightly, saying that, he did not understand what Maud was doing.
The rest of the lieutenant generals, including Taotu, were silent.
Just as the flying squirrel and the tea dolphin were talking a word or two, the lead bullet shot by Maud crossed a distance of more than a thousand meters and went straight to the captain of the Delacxi Pirates.
"The marksmanship is accurate, and the lead bullets are covered with armed colors, but... shooting at me from such a distance is too conspicuous, right?"
The bounty was as high as 600 million, with a fat body and a round face, with a goatee on his chin, Delaksy smiled disdainfully.
With the help of knowledge and color, he easily saw the trajectory of the lead shot, and even had spare time to evaluate Maud's shot.
Subsequently,
The buckshot is coming.
Delaxy lifted the armed-colored western knife in his hand, and in a gentle way, slapped the lead bullet that should have been shot into his neck with the blade.
clang--!
A burst of sparks suddenly sputtered from the blade.
The armed colored lead bullet, which was not weak, was photographed by Draxy in the sky.
"Gee, but that's it."
Draxy looked at the armed colored lead bullet flying into the air, and let out a heartfelt laugh.
He was only interested in admiring the results, but he didn't notice the shadow bullet that flew out in the opposite direction to the armed-colored lead bullet.
When he realized it, the power was also not weak, and the shadow bullets were silent when flying, so they plunged into the many cannonballs prepared in advance at the bow.
"Boom—!"
Like a ray of flame falling on the kerosene all over the ground, the shells piled up at the bow suddenly exploded.
Violent and scorching fireworks swept across all the crew members on the deck, including Draxy, in an instant.
"what!?"
The explosive air wave wrapped in flames mercilessly fell on the slightly shocked face of Draxine.
"Boom, Boom—!!!"
The violent chain explosion that occurred on the deck directly blasted the pirates such as Draxy on the ship into the sea.
The entire pirate ship also collapsed and disintegrated.
From the gunshot to the explosion of the Draxian pirate ship.
The whole process came to an end, beyond everyone's expectations.
"what happened!?"
Thick smoke billowed into the air, and the pirates of the Whitebeard Great Fleet looked at the wreckage of the Drax pirate ship in disbelief.
Delacchi has clearly slapped the lead bullet into the air...
This unexpected result even made them forget about the rescue for a while.
Harbor, and even in the square.
"How...how did he do it?"
Countless navies are looking at Maud who has not put down his flintlock gun on the shore of the harbor with an incredible look.
"Furfur..."
Doflamingo looked at Maud with a dangerous look.
Hancock and Hawkeye couldn't help but glance up at Maud.
"It lives up to its reputation."
Maud's shot made Hancock secretly evaluate in his heart.
Central Army.
The tea dolphin was shaking his index finger back and forth, and said firmly to the flying squir: "That's because you don't understand that—"
His words finally swallowed back in his stomach.
The sound of explosions from a very long distance, as well as the smoke and flames, covered his face like a slap.
on the execution stand.
Even the well-informed Marshal of the Warring States Period couldn't help but applaud in his heart after seeing the shot fired by Maud.
The important point of this gun is not to destroy an enemy ship, but at the beginning of the war, it has greatly contributed to the momentum of one's own side.
The high platform below the execution platform.
"It's scary."
Kizuna crooked his mouth, as if he was sighing.
Akainu glanced blankly at Maud's location.
Aokiji raised his finger and hooked his cheek, and subconsciously looked at Lieutenant General Garp not far away, thinking whether the spear of the past could do this.
Through the live broadcast of the screen.
People all over the world also saw the scene of Maud destroying the Drax pirate ship with one shot.
They didn't know how Maud did it, but it didn't prevent them from judging the effect of the gun.
Horror, amazing!
As expected of Maud, known as the spooky gun.
The reporters were very excited to write the draft.
Before Whitebeard showed his face, Shichibu Haimod fired the first shot of the war!
This scene will also be the beginning of the top war!
