Six Paths of Pirates

Chapter 149 The First Shot Fired
Somewhere in the new world, a fleet of more than ten warships cruised the sea.

On a large ship at the front of the team, the leader of the fleet was holding the phone bug in his hand and didn't know who to call.

"...The situation is like this, so I would like to apply for your support on behalf of Dressrosa."

"As a matter of duty, it is our duty to fight pirates, and His Majesty Nagato is also someone I respect. Nowadays, it is rare for a country like Dressrosa to appear in this new world where pirates are rampant. In order to live peacefully here Civilians, we will fight with all our might!"

"Then please!"

"Please rest assured, within two hours, I will definitely lead the team to arrive."

In an extremely urgent situation, the phone call didn't last long. After the two sides communicated directly, they simply ended the conversation.

The man put down the phone bug, stretched his modified right arm, and muttered to himself solemnly amidst the sound of cracking steel, "It's a bad battle..."

If you only listened to this sentence, you might think that he was timid, but as long as you saw the firm eyes behind his glasses, you knew that this man's courage and determination would never fade no matter what danger he faced.

Because he is Zepha.

"Ain, inform the ships to turn immediately, and the destination is East Dressrosa Hesmere Island!"

Smir Island, a large island in the middle of the Dressrosa Sea, is also the location Cyrus gave Zefa during the call.

"Yes, Teacher Zefa!" Ai En replied, turned around and went to give instructions.

"But the captain..." At this time, a soldier in the pirate guerrilla team hesitated, "The order from the headquarters just now asked us to return to the G5 fortress to rest."

Regarding the question from the soldiers beside him, Zefa scolded: "What nonsense! It's fine if the team didn't find the target during the outing, and now the worst gang of pirates have clearly left their lair and made a big move. As the leader of the pirate guerrillas How can we hold back and return?"

"Yes... yes!" The trained navy immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Zefa stared at him for two seconds, confirmed that he was indeed just asking in doubt, and stopped blaming him.

"Prepare for battle!"

During Zefa's mobilization, the soldier's tense body relaxed again.

However, Zefa felt a dull feeling in his heart.

In fact, why didn't he know the question of the sea soldiers just now?It was he himself who even received the order call, and it was his old friend He who was talking to him.

No wonder such an unnatural order was issued, Zefa thought to himself.

You must know that the pirate guerrilla team was originally an independent team established by him. In addition to providing intelligence and logistics at the navy's rear, the guerrilla team is completely autonomous. Will take the initiative to ask them to return to rest.

Was it an order from Wulaoxing himself?

Thinking of what Crane said to himself, Zefa sighed secretly: I didn't expect the confrontation between His Majesty Nagato and Wu Laoxing to have reached this point.

Even Dressrosa's request for help was just a matter of time, and the world government's order was even faster than this. It can be said with certainty that the first thing Wu Laoxing thought of when he learned the information was how to block Dressrosa. SA.

But even though this is an order from the top, it does not stop me from following my own path.

Standing on the bow of the ship that turned around, Zefa showed a fearless smile against the sea breeze, thinking to himself.

Because I am Zefa!

East Dressrosa Sea.

In this sea area that is closest to the sphere of influence of other Pirate Emperors, the outermost area is naturally the Nine Islands that were in chaos before.

Cyrus' first-hand deployment of combat strategies naturally fell on these nine islands.

In the combat conference room behind Dressrosa, the most conspicuous thing is undoubtedly a map with a length and width of more than ten meters, on which the geographical information of the Dressrosa sea area is drawn.

In front of the map, Cyrus said to the participants around the conference table: "Report the current situation of the enemy."

"Yes." A staff officer sorted out the uploaded information and replied, "In accordance with your instructions, Commander, we dispatched the East Dressrosa fleet to conduct long-range bombardment, and hinder the enemy's advance while avoiding direct engagement. The ammunition of the fleet has all been exhausted, and although there are multiple hits reported from the front, no sinking ships have been reported."

After listening, Cyrus thought for a while and said, "Well, it's also expected."

Then he asked, "What about us?"

"We also had two warships shelled, but they also missed critical parts, but were slightly damaged."

Cyrus nodded: "It's enough to buy time—how is the layout of the Nine Islands?"

"All the gunpowder in each port is ready, and the nine teams are on standby at any time."

"Okay, let Gabra know and let him lead the East Dressrosa fleet back to Smir Island to rendezvous." Cyrus nodded and ordered: "It's time to let the other party in."

"Yes!"

As the headquarters drew up a strategy, the Don Dressrosa troops fighting ahead immediately withdrew their troops and retreated. Without the obstruction of this fleet, the combined fleet of Big Mom and Beasts drove straight in, and naturally boarded at the last position. Nine Islands ahead.

"Sure enough, as long as Liu Dao is not around, it's easy to take down here!"

"Quick, quick! Move faster!"

On the side of the United Fleet, Peggy Wan and Owen, the leaders of the two sides at the moment, also reacted differently to Dressrosa's weakness.

Peggy Wan was disdainful, while Owen hurriedly urged some of his subordinates to land ashore, because although they joined forces with the Beasts Pirates, they did not have a specific partition agreement, so they came to Dressrosa's territory, Whether it is a looting once or a long-term garrison, it is first come, first served.

It can be seen that although the actions of the two are different, they undoubtedly despise Dressrosa at this time in their hearts.

This carelessness will undoubtedly cost them.

Behind Dressrosa, the combat conference room.

"Report, the enemy has entered the port of Nine Islands!"

"What about the specific number and the situation of each island?" Cyrus asked for more detailed information.

The staff officer immediately replied: "There is a ship berthed in the port of Nine Islands, and other enemy ships continue to go deep into our place. Moreover, according to the size of the enemy's ships and the corresponding number of people on board, most of the nine berthed ships are not They will stay for a long time, and after putting down some pirates, they will still join forces with the troops in front of them."

"That means time is limited." Cyrus' eyes showed coldness, "But now we know that they are docking at the same time, that's enough."

He clapped his hands and said, "Order the team in front to detonate the explosives!"

"Yes!"

So, at this moment, all the ports on the Nine Islands resounded with thunderous roars at the same time.

"Master Owen, it's bad!"

"Pei...pe...Master Peggy Wan..."

Soon, the two who left Nine Islands and were heading towards the center of Dressrosa got bad news from the rear.

"Dressorosa designed to blow up the ports of the nine islands. All the ships we parked there were blown up, and few people on board survived. Only the brothers who landed first and left farther away survived!"

"What did you say?" Owen and Peggy Wan, who were standing at the bows of their respective boats, asked with staring eyes at the same time.

Dressrosa and the gang of thieves actually blew up their own port, they are really despicable, they are really lawless!The two thought in surprise and anger.

This is exactly the strategy of Cyrus. He knows that his own strength is not dominant, and the strategic goal of the entire battle is to protect the most core three islands from being invaded. It can be temporarily sacrificed and abandoned, as is the case with the nine ports.

Judging from the results at the moment, there is no doubt that his choice is extremely correct, because the mood of the two leaders of the other party is already extremely bad: it is just a little trial, and before the official start of the war, nearly half of the troops will be lost. How can they not be angry, and how can they explain it?
