Chapter 660: Ambush
The sense of smell of the eighth navy that was cruising near Gunkan Island can be said to be very sensitive, and soon after the Straw Hat Pirates landed on Gunkan Island, the warships that stayed on the island discovered their whereabouts, and immediately used phone bugs to assemble the entire fleet and outflank Warship Island, obviously wanting to catch the Straw Hat Pirates plus little Lori Abis.
Although the flagship of the fleet, which had previously received an AT-4 anti-tank missile, was not sunk, it was unable to drive at full speed due to the serious damage to the bow part, so in order to take care of the flagship, the other warships could only slow down, and waited until Luffy and Wu Liang and his party all arrived at the cave where the Millennium Dragon was hiding and decided to help the Millennium Dragon return to its hometown, but they had not yet been able to reach the Gunship Island, leaving plenty of time for the group to prepare.
Looking at the thousand-year-old dragon ---- Dragon Master in front of him, who was covered in feathers and more appropriately called a dragon than a bird, Wu Liang, who had always claimed to be the heir of the dragon in front of Sakura Reiko and Poison Island Tsuneko, was really embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it, this kind of thing with no majesty at all is not worthy of others' pride, okay!
This thousand-year-old dragon is completely an imaginary combination of the Eastern Dragon and the Western Dragon, and from the perspective of the dragon's head, it looks a little like the Eastern Dragon, but it has the body of a Western evil dragon, and its body is covered with long feathers......
Feather? Where is the proud scale armor of the dragons?
Covered in feathers, it looks like a plush toy, except for a little cute, it won't make people feel majestic at all, okay!
Alas! Headache!
Since it was in a completely different world, Wu Liang really didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so after a little coping, he took a follower and Usopp back to the Golden Merry docked on the shore, preparing to sail the ship to the sharp corner that Nami had pointed out on the top of the mountain.
Well! Judging from the appearance, it does have some similarities with Usopp's long nose, even the part wrapped in gauze (because the long nose was bent by the head of the little Lori Abisi, the gauze that was bound for fixation!) It's all the same, the protruding part goes straight into the sea, and with a slight alteration, it's a nice natural dock where bringing the Millennium Dragon on board won't disturb the locals or avoid the sight of the navy.
When the group turned back from the top of the hill to the dock to put away the anchor and was about to put down the sails and set sail, the naval fleet finally appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"The sea... Sea... The Navy is here again! Cimata, you have to go back and report to Luffy and them quickly, but the Merry is afraid that it will be sunk if it stops here, what should I do! Usopp, who was as timid as a rat, was startled by the naval fleet that caught up, and like ants on a hot pot, he didn't know what to do, and wanted to run up the mountain to inform Luffy that they were worried that the Merry would be destroyed and everyone would be trapped on Gunship Island.
"Don't panic, Usopp, you just go and take care of the rudder, and leave the rest of the warships to us, and tell you how to change course in a while, it must be completed as soon as possible, do you hear clearly?" The naval fleet sent to the door was just right for Wu Liang to vent his frustration, so when Usopp was in a panic, Wu Liang had already taken Sakura to fix the sails with cables, and as long as he pulled the rope buckle, he could immediately prepare to sail at any time.
Because he felt that the destructive effect of the AT-4 anti-tank missile on the warship was not so obvious, Wu Liang took out five super bazooka from the Hunter Association in the storage space this time, and the caliber of the shells reached an astonishing 200 millimeters, which was as much as eight centimeters larger than the AT-4.
Although the caliber has become larger, the range of the Super Bazooka is not as far as the AT-4, and it can only guarantee a direct range of 1.2 kilometers, the reason is that the weight of the shell is too high, reaching an astonishing 34 kilograms, just one shell far exceeds the weight limit of ordinary individual weapons, counting the weight of the entire set of launchers directly soared to 68 kilograms, and there is no way to carry it alone, so after a small batch of trial production, it was immediately sealed, and all the inventory in the Hunter Association was taken away by Wu Liang.
The charge of the shell, which is close to three times the total weight of the missile, is seven times that of the former, the 10-kilogram high-explosive charge can exert an astonishing destructive power of nearly one and a half times that of Wu Liang's ability, and the 25-kilogram high-explosive charge plus the time-delay fuse alone is enough to blow up the entire bow of the ship with just one hit, and if the naval flagship had been hit by this big guy last time, I am afraid that it would have sunk long ago, and there would be no chance of emergency repair.
Due to the scarcity of ammunition, Wu Liang, who had five launcher canisters, used live ammunition for the first time today, and for the sake of insurance, the distance between the Golden Merry and the naval warship must be at least shortened to within a kilometer to ensure the hit rate, so the best way at the moment is to take everyone into the cabin first, pretend that there is no one on board to attract the naval fleet closer, and immediately launch a surprise attack to try not to let go of a warship when the other party takes the bait.
The naval fleet that was anxious to find the clues of the Millennium Dragon really hit the plan, and saw that the Golden Merry was docked on the dock without even putting the sails, and all the navies only thought that no one was left on the ship, so they swaggered out two one-line arrays (four warships each) and slowly approached in the left and right directions of the Merry, obviously wanting to quietly drip into the village to shoot the guns, so as to launch a surprise attack to wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates and Abis, who had the clues of the Millennium Dragon!
With Usopp and a few followers who were about to pee in the back cabin, and kept watching the eight warships slowly approaching from the small round window on the side bulkhead, Wu Liang was actually a little weak in his heart, after all, no one was sure whether the navy would fire a few guns at the Merry before landing, in case the commander of the fleet of naval forces had brain cramps, and he did not hesitate to expose the whereabouts of the fleet, he would also have to put on a few cannons first, then the plan would be ruined, the number of shells was smaller, and Sakura could still deal with it, but if the number was too dense, he was not sure that he would be able to protect the Merry.
It was easy to be patient, and when the naval fleet approached the distance of 800 meters, Wu Liang found the best fighter, in order to facilitate the docking, two straight lines were formed between the two rows of warships on the left and right and the Golden Merry, and only the warship at the head of the team could hit the back of the Merry with its bow gun, and the three warships were all blocked from firing paths.
Such a good opportunity must not be missed, and at that moment Wu Liang divided himself and his followers into two groups, with himself, Peng Si, and Big Lori Alice as the first group, responsible for dealing with the four warships in the bow direction, Sakura Reiko, Poison Island Tsuneko, and Menqi as the second group, responsible for dealing with the four warships in the stern direction, where the naval flagship is located, each group carries two launchers, and Wu Liang and Sakura Reiko are responsible for the main shooters, and the others are responsible for reloading the ammunition, striving to solve the battle ...... before the navy reacts!
