#677 - Chapter 477: The layout is set, but loopholes remain

"As expected."

The white-bearded man beside him said in a deep voice, a flicker of barely perceptible coldness flashing in his eyes.

Whitebeard didn't show much tension at this time. After all, he was used to such complex situations. Instead, a deep calmness and decisiveness were vividly displayed on him.

"Jin An, you thought of this problem a long time ago, right?"

Kuzan also spoke from the side, with a bit of scrutiny and incomprehension in his tone.

"This time, we have divided into so many routes, and the routes are strictly confidential. I don't believe there is no problem that the enemy can lock the target so quickly."

Jin An's eyes flickered slightly, and then he slowly said:

"These scattered routes were originally set up by us to ensure the safety of transportation.

And the specific content of each route is only known to a few of our senior executives.

So, when we received the attack report from the rear, it meant that there was a traitor."

There was not a trace of hesitation in his tone. Almost at the moment he said these words, his eyes had already returned from the outside environment and became deep and cold.

He knew that the World Government's spies had been lurking inside the New Navy long enough.

At this moment, they had obviously learned all the transport plans, and even regarded them as an excellent opportunity to cut off the New Navy's rear support.

"I have this feeling too. Someone has planted a time bomb inside us."

Kuzan frowned slightly. Although he was a little unwilling to accept this fact, he had to admit that Jin An's words made sense.

Jin An didn't answer immediately, turned and walked to the deck of the warship, the sea breeze blowing on his face, his deep eyes fell on the distant sea horizon.

At this moment, the ship's broadcast system suddenly sounded, and the soldiers' voices were urgent and chaotic:

"Enemy attack ahead, report!

The number of enemies is huge!

Requesting support!"

"The situation is critical!"

Another soldier's voice was full of anxiety.

"The transport ship in front has been lost!"

"The enemy is extremely fast and seems to have been ambushed near our inevitable route in advance!"

The commander's voice was deafening, and he was obviously on the verge of breaking out.

Jin An's face instantly sank, and his eyes showed a bit of coldness.

He didn't think too much, but directly issued an order:

"Mobilize the fleet, attack separately, and ensure the safety of each route.

All transport fleets must defend strictly and must not allow the enemy to break through.

We still have many opportunities!"

However, the doubts in Jin An's heart grew stronger.

He knew that every action now could directly determine the fate of the New Navy.

And those enemies lurking inside him had dragged them into an even more dangerous trap.

The enemies are not only the pirates outside, but also the forces that secretly control everything.

Jin An was silent for a moment, then slowly turned to Whitebeard and Kuzan beside him, his eyes full of solemnity:

"Although we don't only have one way to go, directly breaking this layer of secret network and uncovering everything behind it is the most beneficial to us."

Whitebeard took a deep breath, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became more intense:

"We must not only defeat the pirates, but also completely uncover the masks of these lurkers!"

"If the inside has been infiltrated, then there is only one countermeasure - a thorough cleansing."

Kuzan's tone became cold, and one could almost feel the killing intent in his words.

"The enemy has set their sights on our last key supplies, and we cannot give them any chance to breathe."

Jin An nodded, gently rubbing the command map on the table with his fingers, his eyes still calm and firm:

"Cleansing, starting from this moment.

Who is the traitor and who is the enemy, we will reveal them one by one."

Then, he quickly turned around and ordered:

"Immediately deploy various teams to protect the transport line, and at the same time send agents to find traces of internal spies.

No one is allowed to take important supplies from us!"

The sound of orders being conveyed echoed again in the warship, and the entire fleet began to enter a state of combat readiness.

On the distant sea, the wind and clouds were surging, and the shadow of the enemy was still quietly approaching,

as if constantly reminding Jin An - this war is not just a contest with pirates,

but also a life-and-death contest with traitors and enemies hidden in the dark.

......

The sea was howling with strong winds, and the waves were surging. Huge pirate ships, like mobile fortresses, were shaking and approaching in the turbulent waves.

The pirates were frantically waving their weapons on the deck of the ship, and bursts of laughter and shouts echoed in the air, filled with contempt and bloody aura.

"Hahaha!

Don't let these damn New Navy escape!"

A burly pirate waved a long knife, his eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light.

His voice was full of provocation and blasphemy,

"The New Navy is just a soft persimmon in this sea area, smash them!"

The muzzle of the ship spat out billowing black smoke again, and shells fell head-on towards the New Navy fleet. The violent explosions shook the entire sea.

The sea water was lifted into huge waves, splashing around, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and sea salt.

The New Navy fleet was not completely panicked. Although facing such a fierce attack, they still methodically launched a defense.

The soldiers on the warship shuttled through dense artillery fire and explosions, trying their best to operate the defense facilities. The commanders immediately issued orders, and the fleet began to counterattack according to the planned tactics.

However, no matter how they counterattacked, the pirates' offensive was still surging like a tide, and the huge warships continued to approach, like immovable behemoths.

In all this chaos, the most deadly thing was the outbreak of boarding battles.

"Bang!!"

The side of a pirate ship slammed into a New Navy transport ship.

The loud noise of the ship board colliding was like a thunderbolt tearing through the air, and a wave of vibrations spread throughout the ship.

On the boarding bridge, the pirates' roars followed, and huge iron chains clattered, firmly tying the two ships together.

"Go! Don't let them run away!"

The pirates broke through the defense line on the side of the ship and rushed towards the New Navy soldiers with murderous weapons.

Swords, axes, and hammers clashed on the deck, sparks flew, and blood splattered.

Sharp blades of light cut through the air, and the soldiers reacted quickly and quickly drew their guns to resist.

But the pirates' violent impact once made them fall into a passive position.

The battle quickly heated up, and the air on the ship was filled with the smell of iron rust and gunpowder, almost suffocating.

Every shout and every collision of swords echoed in this sea area, making people feel fear.

"Da da da!"

The sound of the machine gun was almost swallowed by the sound of the explosion. A New Navy soldier was desperately suppressing the pirates' impact. The machine gun in his hand kept spitting out ammunition, and several pirates fell on the deck.

However, what followed was more pirates, wave after wave like a tide, rushing towards the New Navy's defense line with the momentum of beasts.

......

When Jin An had just connected to the communication, he stared at the situation on the battlefield transmitted by the video Den Den Mushi:

"Pay attention to defense!

Hold them back, never allow the transport team to be broken through!"

The command center was in a state of chaos, and the commanders' faces were solemn. They quickly mobilized the fleet's defense line and reinforced the transport ships that were being attacked by pirates.

However, the current situation is becoming more and more serious. The transport fleet is facing great pressure, and the hull is shaking more and more violently under the fierce impact of waves and artillery fire.
