Chapter 1042 Smoker vs. Dontas

"Major General! It's bad, there's a fighting in the sky!" A soldier ran over with a terrified face and reported to Smoker.

Upon hearing the news, Smoker, who was leaning leisurely on the railing with a cigar in his mouth, was slightly stunned: "Ah? What's going on?" He looked up at the sky with some confusion.

In the distance, two figures were seen fighting fiercely in the sky, with flashes of light and loud noises coming from time to time. When Smoker saw clearly that one of the figures was Aokiji, his eyes instantly widened like bells, and the cigar in his mouth almost fell to the ground.

"Why is Kuzan here?" Smoker thought to himself, full of doubts. However, time was running out and he didn't have time to think too much. He immediately gave his soldiers an order: "Everyone, listen up, drive our ship into the Great Desolo immediately! Move quickly!"

Following Smoker's order, the soldiers acted quickly, each performing their duties, and maneuvered the ship towards the target in a tense and orderly manner.

At this moment, a navy soldier in charge of lookout came running from the bow in a panic, shouting as he ran: "Major General Smoker! It's bad, a pirate ship suddenly appeared in front of us!"

This sudden situation startled Smoker. He frowned and shouted, "What? A pirate ship dared to show up at this time!"

After saying that, he pushed away the soldier in front of him without hesitation, rushed forward, and at the same time reached out and snatched the telescope from the soldier's hand.

Smoker raised his telescope and looked at the pirate ship in the distance. He saw a pirate flag with a stone pattern flying on the ship, and he recognized the person represented by the flag at a glance - the stone Dontas.

Smoker slowly put down the telescope and his expression became more serious.

Although he had never personally pursued the pirate named Dontas before, he still had some understanding of the various pirate forces active in the nearby waters.

Now that we have unexpectedly encountered this huge rock, Dontas, a fierce conflict is probably inevitable.

"Everyone listen up! Immediately aim all your weapons at the pirate ship in front of you! I want you to sink that broken ship as quickly as possible!"

Smoker roared at the top of his lungs, his rough voice seemed to be able to penetrate the layers of waves and wind.

Dashigi, who was standing nearby, heard the order and approached with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Major General Smoker, are you not going to capture that hateful pirate leader?"

Her beautiful big eyes were full of confusion and questions.

Smoker frowned and replied seriously, "There's no time to talk about arresting people now! The Den Den Mushi that suddenly rang just now was most likely a call from Admiral Aokiji. There aren't many enemies that could make him issue a summons so urgently. The situation must be very critical!"

Having said that, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

Dashiqi also realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly agreed, "Yes, but in this case, the other party must be extremely dangerous."

"That's why we can't waste even a second here! We must race against time to rush over and support General Aokiji!"

Smoker said anxiously.

After hearing these words, Dashigi, who was standing by, suddenly realized.

She quickly straightened up, saluted with a standard military salute, then turned around without hesitation and began to convey Smoker's orders to the other soldiers.

“Ga la la la… buzz buzz buzz…”

With a loud noise, huge and heavy cannons were pushed onto the deck by a group of strong naval soldiers working together.

Then, the lattice doors on the side of the ship slowly opened, and the black muzzles of the guns looked like the bloody mouths of ferocious beasts, which was daunting.

Afterwards, under the skillful operation of the gunners, the muzzles of the guns turned around and pointed directly at the arrogant pirate ship in the distance.

"Boss, it's bad! The navy has discovered us!" One of his men ran over in panic and reported to Dontas who was standing at the bow.

When Dongtas heard this, his eyes suddenly focused and he looked into the distance, only to see a huge naval ship heading towards them quickly.

He snorted coldly: "Humph, I saw it a long time ago!"

As he spoke, he pushed aside the few men who were blocking his way and strode to the front of the bow.

Dongtas held his head high, waved his strong arms heroically, pointed at the naval ship that was getting closer and closer, and shouted loudly: "Guys! Do you see that damn naval ship over there? If we can take it down, the two large boxes of gold in the warehouse will be given to you!"

As soon as Dongtas finished speaking, the originally noisy deck suddenly became quiet.

The pirates looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

However, after a brief silence, an earth-shaking shout suddenly broke out from the crowd.

“Oh oh oh-oh!!!” The sound was deafening, as if it was going to break through the sky.

"Long live the captain!!!" The pirates danced with excitement, with greed and madness flashing in their eyes.

At this moment, they were no longer the scattered and disorderly mob just now, but a group of ferocious beasts whose fighting spirit was completely ignited by desire and wealth.

Fierceness and determination were written all over the faces of every pirate. They held their weapons tightly, ready for a life-and-death battle.

As the two ships approached rapidly, the warship equipped with more sophisticated weapons, like a ferocious beast, was the first to bar its fangs and launched a fierce attack!

Smoker roared, "Attack!" In an instant, dozens of cannons roared at the same time, making a deafening roar!

"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!!!!" Countless shells poured out like raindrops, cutting through the sky and rushing straight towards the Rock Pirates with a fierce momentum.

For a moment, the sky was filled with artillery shells, forming a barrage that covered the sky.

"Prince! You must hold the rudder tightly and don't let the boat capsize!" the captain shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry, Captain! As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to our Tukudi!"

The ship's helmsman responded without hesitation.

His hands were like iron pliers, tightly gripping the rudder, his muscles tense, veins bulging on his forehead, and he was using all his strength to control the direction of the ship.

After Dongtas finished his instructions, he quickly took big steps and rushed to the bow like the wind. At this moment, his eyes were firm and sharp, revealing a fearless courage.

"Humph! You think you can attack my warship with just these shells? That's wishful thinking!"

Dongtas shouted angrily, and before he finished his words, his body began to swell rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few seconds, a stone giant as tall as a hill suddenly appeared at the bow of the ship.

"Roar!!!" The stone giant roared loudly, as if to shake the entire ocean.

He waved his strong arms and pounded his hard chest hard, demonstrating his unparalleled strength.

At this moment, dense artillery shells fell from the sky and hit Dontas like falling meteors.

However, facing such fierce artillery attacks, Dongtas showed no fear.

He stood there steadily, like an indestructible fortress, using his huge body to block all incoming shells.

Shells exploded on him, emitting dazzling sparks and billowing smoke, but Dongtas remained standing.

Relying on his amazing defensive ability and strong will, he managed to withstand round after round of fierce bombardment!

"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!" Deafening explosions sounded one after another, as if the whole world was shaking. The huge energy generated by the explosions caused smoke and dust to rise into the sky like rolling waves, covering the sky and the sun. The flying smoke and dust instantly buried the Dongtas and the entire ship, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

Smoker, who was standing aside, bit the cigar tightly in his mouth, frowned, and said solemnly: "I didn't expect that this guy is also a devil fruit user." He was secretly thinking about the opponent's strength and possible tactics.
