Chapter 145

In order to enable ordinary naval soldiers to exert their combat effectiveness, naval ships have entered the era of giant guns and large ships. In this pirate world where there are no wooden airplanes, super battleships are the answer.

After all, flying fruit ability users are rare, and there are only one or two in each force. Such a small number does not pose a threat to battleships.

Due to the lack of energy in this pirate world, there is no cheap energy such as oil and coal. However, by chance, the scientific forces discovered combustible ice in the deep sea.

Combustible ice has the characteristics of high combustion value, low pollution, and large reserves. It is mostly white or light gray crystals, and its appearance is similar to ice and snow. It is used as a new type of efficient energy.

The new warships of the navy are all driven by combustible ice. These deep-sea things are enough to drive 10,000-ton steel monsters, making the navy's battleships quite superior in speed.

Most of the pirate ships floating on the sea are powered by sails. Battleships are simply a dimensionality reduction attack on those wooden ships, and they can be directly smashed with the metal steel plates on the surface.

During the landing operation, the artillery support provided by the naval strategic ships made the defending side miserable. All beings are equal in front of heavy artillery.

The battleships played a very important role in the easy attack on the revolutionary army headquarters. The revolutionary army was bombarded and the entire White Earth Island became a scorched earth.

Although each battleship is worth a lot of money, compared with the Peace Messenger, which is difficult to mass produce, the new ships are more cost-effective and much simpler to maintain than high-tech equipment.

The battleships have formed a unified process industrialization, and each one is roughly a one-to-one replica, which greatly speeds up the shipbuilding speed. The naval headquarters has been in a state of bursting ships, and at least twelve new battleships are launched every year.

The garrison navies around the world are very lucky to be assigned one. This time, General Akin brought out two new battleships at a time, plus some old naval warships. Those old antiques can only watch from behind and witness how the darlings of the navy in the new era perform with their own eyes.

Several of the fastest-running anomalies have already gone into the sea, followed by a huge army of giants. The intention of these insane giants is obvious, that is, to actively attack the navy ships. At this point, they can no longer delay.

"I didn't expect Doflamingo's giant weapons to have developed to this extent. Fortunately, the navy's technological level has not stagnated in recent years. Prepare to use up all the ammunition." Admiral Smoker issued combat orders to the two battleships through the voice-transmitting telephone bug.

The shells used by the battleship cannons weigh at least a thousand pounds each, which is simply not something that can be moved by human power. However, automation solves this problem. It can easily take out shells from the ammunition depot and automatically load them, and the firing rate can be as fast as possible.

"Fire at Dressrosa"!

"Fire"!

The two admirals gave the order to fire at the same time. Nearly thirty cannons of the two naval battleships were fired at the same time in an instant. Every shot left billowing black smoke in the air, allowing the giants to learn what a high-yield shell is and what a saturation attack is.

The fierce artillery fire of the two battleships poured down all the way to the front. Although these giants who had no sense of pain had different heights, they were all equal in front of the shells.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

This weapon, which was born for war, would leave a big hole on the ground with every shell. The nearby giants were either blown to pieces on the spot or turned into torches. All carbon-based creatures were afraid of being burned by fire.

The 20-meter-tall anomalous giant either had his legs blown off or his upper body was blown away. When he landed, he had no chance to recover and face the next round of shell attacks.

The port was bombed into a black world in a short time, with thick smoke and sporadic fire sources. The once prosperous port of Dressrosa became a scorched earth, and thousands of giants returned to the earth under high-density bombardment.

Only a few dozen giants survived by chance, their heads were not damaged, lying on the ground and using steam to recover their bodies, but they no longer posed a threat to the navy, and these remnants could be dealt with by subsequent landing troops.

Admiral Smoker took the telescope from a navy soldier and observed the situation in the port through the lens. The results of this battle were very significant, and most of the enemies were eliminated under artillery fire.

If it were the past, facing such troubles, the admiral of the navy would need to enter the field and use large-scale aoe to deal with the miscellaneous soldiers, but with the new battleships, it would be different. If the enemy can't even withstand the shells, then these weaklings are not worthy of the admiral of the navy.

"Ajin, let me show you, this battleship is really an island-attacking artifact. If our navy is equipped with such ships on a large scale, there is no one in the world like us."The islands we cannot attack"

Admiral Blue Snake took the telescope and observed the battlefield situation, and added: "It is powerful enough, but it still has the old problem, the accuracy of the artillery is problematic."

The cannons of the battleship can fire several kilometers away, but the accuracy is worrying. If you attack a distant target at sea, it is likely to miss and fall into the sea.

This time, artillery fire was used to clean the port, and some shells fell in the residential area behind, which may have caused casualties, but these are necessary sacrifices. The navy has minimized civilian casualties.

The four Tianlong people were not locked up in the cabin by the navy, but took the initiative to invite them to board the battleship to let these old hats see it. The strategic weapons of the new navy.

After only twenty minutes, the largest port of Dressrosa was completely torn apart by artillery fire, which made the Celestial Dragons feel unreal. They knew that the navy had the Demon Killing Order.

But to completely destroy a large island, the navy ships five years ago were just gilding the veneer. The old ships had serious firepower shortages. Only battleships could completely destroy the targets on the island.

"If these shells fell on the holy land of Marijoa, it would probably take less than half a day." The abnormal guy of Charlos Saint actually thought of the navy using battleships to bombard the holy land of the Celestial Dragons, which caused the other three Celestial Dragons to roll their eyes.

"Is this the power of technology? It actually allows some ordinary people to have such powerful destructive power", Saint Musgard was thinking about a question. He really didn't know where the Navy's growing ambition would go.

Ordinary animal-type devil fruit users, plus the meatier ancient species, can last for a few minutes under such artillery fire. The Navy is just consuming its own shells. As long as the raw material supply is sufficient, the shells can be produced infinitely. If a devil fruit user dies, it will be one less.

There are only so many devil fruits on the sea. It takes a long time to train an elite. But if the Navy can solve it with a few shells, then the pirate forces will lose a lot.

Don Quixote Musgard Saint's sister can be invited by the Navy to become a Navy Admiral. In this great change that has not happened in 800 years, it may be a rare way out.
