One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

"That's right! It's the Eight-Nation Alliance. We've occupied the islands of seven of these eight countries, and the other one was probably coerced! These kings are not much of a threat, but the army they've assembled is nearly 250,000 strong, though most of them are land forces, and the navy is not much!"

Barrett explained to Charlotte.

Charlotte shook her head as she listened to Barrett's explanation.

"I'm leaving all of this to you to handle. If you can't solve it, just let me know! I believe you can do all of this well!"

Charlotte threw the booklet over.

"Yes!"

Barrett caught it silently.

Barrett did not refuse Charlotte's arrangement, but it was just a bunch of Eight-Nation Alliance! A bunch of chickens and dogs.

He's only here to give a brief report.

After receiving Charlotte's orders, Barrett also began to take action.

They did not wait for those kingdoms to launch an attack.

This isn't like him!

An operation has begun!

Barrett summoned all the squad leaders.

"Our primary target this time is King Rommel. As long as we cripple this leader, the others are nothing to fear!"

Barrett gave the order.

Despite his young age, he had grown up in the military and his every move reflected the style of a soldier, which made the captains, who were used to living freely on the sea, feel a little uncomfortable, but they still obeyed Barrett's orders.

At the port!

A row of ships flying the Rockefeller pirate flag were moored there.

There were a total of fifteen pirate ships.

Groups of pirates, armed with various weapons, boarded the ship under the leadership of their respective captains.

Boxes of artillery shells were also loaded onto the ship.

At the port, twelve-year-old, four-meter-tall Barrett stood at the port, methodically directing the various teams.

Carter, Paul, Wolf, and Isaac were all methodically directing their respective teams in pre-game preparations.

This scene was witnessed by many people.

Such a commotion is hard to miss.

"Notify Marine Headquarters! The Rockefeller Pirates appear to be making a major move! Target unknown!"

The spies in the shadows reported intelligence to their respective factions.

Since Charlotte designated the island as a free port, all powers are free to operate there.

This gave those spies a great deal of convenience.

Cameo Island is like a sieve now; out of ten, there's probably a spy from some different faction.

While the scouts were reporting, the ships in the port slowly sailed away.

But what no one noticed was that a white figure quietly climbed up.

Chapter 215 Naval Battle

On the turbulent sea.

The two fleets faced each other from a distance.

Barrett looked at the enemy's more than fifty warships and smiled disdainfully.

Although he only brought fifteen ships, he was confident of defeating his opponent.

"kill!"

Barrett didn't waste any words and issued the order directly.

"fire!"

As Barrett finished speaking, all the cadres roared in anger.

The Rockefeller Pirates' fifteen ships unleashed a barrage of cannon fire at the warships brought by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

One shell after another was fired.

But most of them fell into the sea, and only a very few shells hit the ships.

"fire!"

The Eight-Nation Alliance wasn't stupid; they wouldn't just stand by and watch when the other side opened fire at the slightest provocation.

"As expected of pirates! A bunch of barbarians!"

Among the fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance, a ship that looked extremely luxurious was anchored at the edge of the battlefield under the protection of numerous warships.

A group of nobles held wine glasses, gazing at the pirate ship in the distance, which could only be seen as a black dot with the naked eye.

They looked on with disdain when they saw the other side attack without warning.

"Let's celebrate the victory that is about to come!"

Led by a nobleman, everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

In their view, fifty-odd ships against fifteen! They were certain of victory.

The shelling continues!

Both sides are fully prepared with firepower.

The artillery battle lasted for more than an hour.

When both sides run out of ammunition.

Both commanders simultaneously issued the next orders.

"Kill! Let these people know the might of the Rockefeller Pirates!"

Barrett, standing four meters tall, shouted from in front of the helm.

Orders were relayed to the captains of all the ships.

Seeing the various flags and orders, they directed their ships to sail towards the warships of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

After an hour of shelling, none of the Eight-Nation Alliance ships sank, but several warships were damaged.

It's because the Rockefeller Pirates didn't care much about artillery fire and hadn't trained much.

These pirates are basically swordsmen recruited by Charlotte. They are all skilled swordsmen. Asking them to fire cannons is just asking them to do something difficult.

The shells fired by the enemy were mostly shot down by the skilled crew members on their respective ships.

After an hour of fighting, the shelling from both sides was like child's play.

As the Eight-Nation Alliance fleet watched the fifteen pirate ships slowly approaching, they understood the enemy's intentions.

"Soldiers! In this battle, we must make the first battle the decisive one, a battle that will decide the fate of the empire! Let those useless soldiers see who the true main force of the empire is! Kill!"

A general of the Eight-Nation Alliance raised his knight's sword and shouted at all the soldiers on the ship.

"kill!"

All the soldiers looked at the general and roared angrily.

He gripped his flintlock pistol and longsword tightly, facing the approaching pirate crew.

The roar drowned out all the fear.

The two fleets are getting closer and closer!

"kill!"

Under the command of both sides, they rushed forward.

A fierce battle ensued.

Barrett charged into the enemy's flagship and found their general.

"Pirate!"

The old general roared at the pirates who were twice his height.
