The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

While the war on land was in full swing, the war on the sea did not stop at all. With the passionate exchange of fire between the two fleets, this decisive battle on the sea reached a climax. And under this turbulent situation, the turning point of the entire war also quietly arrived.

The battle between the Navy and the Red Flag Fleet on the sea was also divided into two parts. One part was a war between the high-level forces of both sides, and the other part was a full-scale war between the main forces of both sides. The revolutionary party's trump card was deployed in the latter war.

In the head-on battle between the top forces of both sides, it was the top forces of the Red Flag Army that held back the top forces of the Navy. That is, they held back the other commanding admiral in the Navy besides Akainu, Aokiji, who was also a candidate for admiral.

In order to truly achieve the goal of containing the enemy on the battlefield, the revolutionaries even got the nominal commander of the Red Flag Army involved in this high-level combat showdown.

Led by the Red Flag Army's commander, Sword Girl, there were also many high-level fighters such as Garen, Little Guts, and Sauro who participated. So many strong men gathered together just to deal with another commander-in-chief of the Navy, Vice Admiral Aokiji, who was also a powerful existence whose strength was not inferior to Akainu.

Vice Admiral Aokiji, like Akainu, is also a strong man with a powerful natural fruit ability. Moreover, relying on his own strong strength and the Ice Fruit, he did not fall into the slightest defeat even when facing the siege of so many revolutionary forces. Coupled with the special nature of the Ice Fruit, the sea has become his home court.

Using the Ice Fruit on the sea, Aokiji's killing range is extremely terrifying. Just by gently activating the fruit ability, any enemy on the sea can be turned into an ice sculpture. With the help of the humid environment of the sea, even some powerful warriors will be frozen by the water molecules in the air if they are not careful.

In the battle between Aokiji and the high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Party, Aokiji relied on the power of the Ice Fruit to suppress many high-ranking members of the Revolutionary Party. Even in the battle, Aokiji had not yet used his full strength to promote the power of the fruit. If Aokiji used his full strength, I am afraid that the entire sea area would turn into an ice country.

Of course, Qing Zhi himself could not use his fruit ability to its full potential because of his concerns. After all, if the entire ocean was frozen, wouldn't it be like killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of their own? You know, the navy's warships are also on the ocean. If the ocean was frozen, it would not only cause a great blow to the Red Flag Fleet, but also cut off the navy's own retreat.

Moreover, the navy's huge warships can rely on their huge tonnage advantage to gallop across the battlefield on the sea. But if the sea surface is frozen, it will create an opportunity for the Red Flag Army to break through the navy warships. If there is a land route, the navy warships will become sitting ducks. Aokiji also took this into consideration, so he did not use all his strength.

On the battlefield, Aokiji, who was unable to use his full strength, could only fight with the revolutionary cadres who came to besiege him. According to Aokiji, as long as the enemy's strong men who could threaten the warships were delayed, the navy would be invincible.

You know, the huge tonnage of naval warships is no joke. If there are no special circumstances, the active naval warships can be said to be unsinkable fortresses on the sea. In the absence of updated artillery, no conventional weapons can pose a threat to naval warships.

Therefore, even if Aokiji was held back by many cadres of the Revolutionary Party, he was not too worried. Although the Red Flag Fleet had an absolute numerical advantage and looked powerful, Aokiji did not think they could pose much of a threat to the Navy's warships.

According to Aokiji's thinking, if nothing unexpected happens, even without any intervention from powerful people, the navy ships will eventually be able to rely on their own strong defense to defeat the enemy with fewer troops. The final result will definitely be that the navy fleet with thicker armor and more powerful firepower will win.

The enemy's Red Flag Fleet would be in a dilemma. After discovering that no weapon could penetrate the armor of the navy ships, they would retreat in despair. This situation is a bit like the problem faced by the Japanese Combined Fleet against the Beiyang Fleet's Zhen and Ding ships during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Unfortunately, the commander of the navy was not Empress Dowager Cixi.

If it were normal, the final result would undoubtedly develop in the direction that Aokiji envisioned. However, facing all this, the Red Banner Army had already made preparations. After all, Marx and Engels would not hope for a Empress Dowager Cixi to appear in the navy.

On the front battlefield, whether it was the struggle between the top leaders or the confrontation between the fleets, after completely attracting the attention of the navy, the Red Flag Army's trump card finally began to emerge. While no one was paying attention, a small fleet composed of some light ships of the Red Flag Army had quietly circled to the rear of the navy fleet.

As expected, the navy fleet did not take any precautions against this fleet. In the eyes of the navy, the only thing that could pose a threat to the navy warships was the flagship of the Red Flag Fleet. A light ship? What is this? Even if the navy warships were caught off guard and let it attack, it would not be able to penetrate the armor of the navy warships.

The moment this fleet was waiting for was now. The more the navy looked down on them, the better. The smaller boats could get closer. The secret weapon of the Red Flag Fleet was to fire at the closest distance to achieve the greatest results.

"One thousand meters, eight hundred meters, six hundred meters, five hundred meters..." The crew members on the assault fleet nervously measured the distance to the navy fleet. They were so patient that they did not rush to attack even when they were five hundred meters away.

"Closer, closer." The soldiers knew that with the range and rate of fire of their weapons, they needed to get closer to hit the target. So they began to get closer to the naval fleet regardless of everything, even ignoring the risk of the fleet being bombarded by naval guns at close range.

As expected, their actions at this time (referring to anything approaching the naval fleet) successfully drew some of the navy's attention away from the front battlefield, and the navy's naval guns began to turn and aim at the approaching assault fleet.

In the eyes of the navy, this may be another childish tactic of the Red Flag Fleet. They want to defeat the navy warships by using the springboard. If that's the case, then they should not let them get close. It must be said that the navy's blocking was a good move.

The large-caliber naval guns directly hit the ship in the front at close range. For a moment, a fireball caused by the explosion appeared on the sea surface, and the navy on the warships were also laughing at the enemy who overestimated their own capabilities.

Unfortunately, the navy did not expect that this little bit of deterrence could not shake the determination of the raiding fleet. The soldiers of the Red Flag Army, with their thoughts of their fallen comrades in arms, still approached the navy fleet regardless of everything. No matter what kind of danger they encountered, no matter how many people died, they could not be stopped.

"Two hundred meters... here... move." Finally approaching the navy ship, all the soldiers no longer hesitated. "Fire." All the approaching assault fleets launched an attack at once. Mysterious long strips of objects began to be launched from underwater, and their target was the navy fleet in front.

At such a short distance, the warship had no time to dodge. When it hit the naval warship, even the soldiers on the warship didn't know what happened.

When everyone reacted, "Boom." The explosion caused a huge splash. Then, the navy was horrified to find that the warship was tilted!

All the navy officers felt a shudder in their hearts. This was a sign of something self-evident. The dark cloud of defeat loomed over the heads of all the navy officers.
