One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 79: Naval Internal Conflict
Boom!
In the shock wave caused by the explosion of the shell, the roof of the cafe and the wall on the side facing the square began to collapse instantly!
In a flash, Xia Nuo stood in front of the window without hesitation, propped up the collapsed beam with one hand, and blocked the flying bricks and broken glass for his companions.

At the same time, he turned his head and shouted:

"A Yin!"

"Ouch!" Yin understood instantly, roared, and his hair stood up, with electric lights flashing and crackling.

In a flash, a semicircular lightning field spread out and took shape, covering the entire area where the cafe was located.

This is an advanced version of the primary bloodline talent skill it had learned in its childhood - "Arc Body Protection".

The protective shield of the lightning electric field can spread to a maximum radius of ten meters, protecting everyone in the force field from any physical harm from the outside world.

With a loud crash, the collapsed brick and stone walls were pushed out by the force field. At the same time, explosions were heard everywhere in the square, and people screamed one after another.

"Pah, pah, pah!" Nami wiped the soot from her face and rushed to the stairs anxiously, "Are you all okay, Auntie Manager?"

"No, it's okay!" The frightened voice of the female manager came from downstairs.

Nojigo also rushed over to help check if there were any injured people.

Fortunately, the cafe was not large, and both the upper and lower floors were protected by the force field, so all of the more than 30 guests and employees were rescued.

"Huh." Nami finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the rest of the people outside the cafe were obviously not so lucky.

Looking outside through the hole in the wall, many shops and houses on both sides were affected by the artillery fire, with large areas collapsed and the scene in ruins.

"I'll go up and have a look!"

Kuina's face turned grim. After saying this, she rushed out from the gap in the roof above.

Damn it! !
What kind of pirate group dares to be so arrogant and launch an artillery attack on Rogue Town in broad daylight?!

The pirates in the East China Sea are just small fish and shrimps left, how could they have such courage...

Could it be that another group of pirates like Arlong have returned from the Grand Line?

Swish, Kuina pulled out the Wado Ichimonji, walked on the moon steps to the top of the clock tower next to her with a wide view, and looked towards the pier.

Just one glance.

Her expression suddenly changed, showing a bit of surprise.

how come……

The ones firing the cannon were actually the navy? ! ! !
But see the pier.

A huge luxury cruise ship was lying there.

And around it, the three naval warships had already turned around and pointed their guns at the entire square in front of the execution platform!
…………

Time goes back five minutes.

Bow of a luxury cruise ship.

A golden scepter inlaid with gems, held in a fat hand, pointed to the front of the execution platform.

"Hey, hey, hey, can someone tell me who those people are who are crowding in the square? They're such an eyesore."

Altai turned his head, his gaze finally landing on Smoker's face. "If I remember correctly, you seem to be the navy in charge of this island. You should be very clear about this issue, right?"

"If it were a weekday, most of them would be tourists, with a small number of pirates mingling among them."

Smoker narrowed his eyes, and finally, under Ghost Spider's gaze, he said coldly, "It's been a bit unusual lately. I guess more than half of them are pirates."

"Pirates?!"

Altai covered his mouth with his hands and let out an exaggerated cry, "Wow, are they all pirates? This is the first time I've seen so many of them. They're right next to your base, how can they be so fearless and so arrogant?"

Isn't this just to escort you, you stupid pig?
Smoker's face suddenly darkened. When he was stationed at the Rogue Town base, the pirates who came to the island always kept their tails between their legs, fearing that their identities would be exposed!
How dare you gather in such a grand manner?

"I should go back, Lieutenant General."

Smoker extinguished his cigar, turned his head and said to Ghost Spider in a muffled voice, "We've arrived at my base. There's not much distance left, so I probably won't be needed anymore."

Actually.

He always felt that his superiors attached too much importance to this escort mission.

In addition to Vice Admiral Onigumo and him who was transferred here, there are also two major generals from the G-branch of the Grand Line, as well as two major general-level adjutants under Onigumo.

One lieutenant general of the headquarters, four major generals of the headquarters, and him who is capable enough to be a major general of the headquarters.

This is naturally to show the importance they attach to the personal safety of the three kings of the member states, one of whom can be considered half a Celestial Dragon.

If it was about traveling along the Grand Line, he could barely understand it.

But after all, it was only escorted from the South China Sea to the East China Sea.

No matter what, there is no need to upgrade the lineup to such a luxurious, even wasteful level, right?

In contrast.

It is more important for him to return to the island as soon as possible to intimidate the gathered pirates.

The pirates in the East China Sea are not that bad, they can't cause any trouble.
But among the many people in the square, there were also pirates from other sea areas.

The North Sea, the West Sea, and even the Grand Line... Compared to the East Sea, there are quite a few tricky pirates coming from these places!

Now I am afraid that they will take advantage of my absence and the lack of defense on the island, gather together in high spirits, and suddenly have the intention of looting, burning and killing.

The residents of that town will suffer...

"You want to go back now?"

Ghost Spider frowned slightly and was about to say something.

"Okay, okay!!"

Altai, who was standing behind him, suddenly clapped his hands excitedly. "More pirates is a good thing. The more, the better! The more arrogant, the better! I've never seen the navy fight pirates before. Hey, Spider-Ghost, fire! Hey, fire!"

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

Ghost Spider glanced in the direction of the execution platform, nodded, and then walked straight towards his own ship using moon steps.

Smoker was left standing there in shock.

"Are you crazy! Mr. Ghost Spider!"

Smoker quickly transformed into smoke and landed on the deck of the warship. As soon as he landed, he asked in disbelief:
"You're a nobleman who's never fought a war, and you're going to follow orders that come up on the spur of the moment? How many innocent people will be accidentally injured by firing directly into the center of town? This is simply insane!"

"Make no mistake, Smoker."

Ghost Spider gave him a strange look and sneered, "Because of his Celestial Dragon bloodline, I can tolerate him in various trivial matters, but when it comes to military affairs like this, that brainless fat pig has no right to command me."

"Then why did you do it!!!"

Smoker growled.

He had already seen the three warships slowly turning, raising their broadside guns, crossing the dock and pointing directly towards the square. He couldn't help but feel anxious and annoyed, "And you, do you know what you are doing? Stop it right now!!"

However, the command of the three warships did not belong to him.

The major generals glanced at him and turned back disapprovingly.
He continued to follow Ghost Spider's orders and directed his gunners to load the shells.

Ghost Spider dusted off his cigarette ash and spoke calmly:
"Although we've known each other for a long time, it seems now that you really don't understand me very well, Smoker..."
