OPI Chapter 36: Sakazuki’s appreciation and Satisfaction
🕑 Added 2023-10-28 17:34:56 +0000 UTCThere were more than a hundred people on and off the entire pirate ship. In less than ten seconds, they all covered their necks and fell in a pool of blood. Shiryu stood among the corpses with a satisfied look on his face, full of killing intent. He glanced at the remaining pirate ships.
[Boom! Boom! Boom!]
The warship where Sakazuki was on began to exchange bombardments with seven pirate ships. The black projectiles that turned red due to the heat roared through the air, falling into the sea and raising a large column of water or hitting the hull and exploding in a large fireball.
Especially the triple turret on the bow of the warship, whether it is range, rate of fire, or accuracy, it completely overwhelms the pirate ship on the opposite side. The defensive power of the ship's armor is even more disparate. Even if it is bombarded by a few shells, it only left superficial traces and had no impact on the Navy Warship.
At this time, Sakazuki was still in the same posture with his arms folded across his chest. He seemed to be looking at the struggling pirates, but in fact, his eyes were always fixed on Shiryu's figure.
In his eyes, Shiryu just jumped out of the first pirate ship, and then flew across the sea at an extremely fast speed, dragging traces of afterimages behind him. Every time his body had a tendency to fall, he stepped on it lightly. As soon as the wave broke out, he continued to move forward at high speed with the help of the force of the wave being blown apart by his kick.
Sakazuki is also a Rokushiki master. He can tell at a glance that Shiryu's technique is Geppo, but it changes from stepping on the air to stepping on the waves.
Compared to air, waves are actually easier to step on.
Immediately afterwards, Shiryu jumped onto the second pirate ship and started a new round of bloody killings, which made Sakazuki frown a little.
'It’s not that I’m dissatisfied with killing pirates, but I feel that Shiryu’s method is too inefficient.'
In other words, he would have swallowed up all the pirate ships with a big blast of fire!
Shiryu's strength is obviously at the level of a master swordsman. It stands to reason that he can also use a flying slash to quickly cut a ship in half. Even if he can't cut seven ships with one sword, one ship with one sword is still no problem, right?
According to the current situation, if Shiryu continued to kill ship after ship, he would eventually have to let one or two pirate ships escape.
However, he did not want to intervene in advance before those pirate ships sailed out of Sakazuki's attack range.
Anyway, it's just a matter of one or two lava bombs. With his Kenbunshoku Haki, he can completely achieve precise strikes against large targets such as sea ships.
In this regard, even the warship under my feet is far inferior to myself!
But sometimes as a naval officer, you cannot take action personally at all times. As a commander, you cannot blindly grab the military exploits of your troops.
For his part, Shiryu had killed all the pirates that approached him with his sword. He watched with excitement as the head behind the broken sword slid downward and a plume of blood rose into the sky.
'Cool!'
Looking back, behind him there was a pool of blood on the ground with corpses.
"Vice Admiral Sakazuki, CP5 hidden in the Kingdom of Maidan sent detailed information!" A Captain on the warship ran over and reported loudly.
He had to raise his voice, otherwise the sound of shells flying through the air and the subsequent explosions could easily drown out the human voice.
“Tell me about it.” Sakazuki said in a deep voice.
"Most of this group of pirates are civilians from the country. The leader is called Cass. Originally, he was a mid-level general in the king's army. His wife and daughter were kidnapped by Viscount Gadwell of the country two weeks ago and were taken by him a week ago to a company of slaves".
"For this reason, Cass led his trusted soldiers to incite the common people who were already dissatisfied with the nobles to rebel. They first robbed the King's warship at the dock, then hung the pirate flag that had been prepared on the mast, and then in the name of the Cass Pirates They attacked and killed the king's army, plundered all the food and treasures in the dock warehouses, and bombarded the upper town where the royal family and nobles lived for nearly half an hour. It is said that at that time the place was left in ruins and the nobles suffered many casualties."
After hearing that this was another incident of nobles forcing soldiers and civilians to rebel, Sakazuki was silent for a moment and uttered a word coldly.
“Idiot!”
The Headquarters Captain thought this was a scolding of the nobleman, which made him dare not say anything more.
“That idiot named Cass not only killed himself, but also killed everyone who followed him.” Sakazuki looked at the pirate ships in the distance that were being attacked by Shiryu.
"If he doesn't fly the pirate flag, this matter has little to do with our navy."
The captain suddenly realized it and thought to himself: 'Yes, if that Cass doesn't fly the pirate flag, then they are not pirates, but the civil strife of the Kingdom of Maidan, and naturally they will not be arrested by our navy.'
According to the laws of the World Government, the navy has no right to interfere without authorization in the civil strife of its member countries.
Unless the King of the country first applies for assistance from the World Government, the Government Council will then determine whether to help the country based on Cipher Pol's investigation information.
If confirmed, the Navy Headquarters must be notified to send troops for rescue. Then the Navy Fleet Admiral will hand over the information of the main rebel personnel to the relevant departments to determine the amount of the reward and the reward list.
Finally, we have to consider what level of naval officer to dispatch and what size of fleet to bring.
This process will take at least one or two days at the earliest. Including the travel time, it will take at least three or four days. If it is a country far away, it will take even longer.
Obviously, the king of the Kingdom of Maidan knew the rules very well, so he called the navy directly and said that an extremely large number of pirates had attacked his country.
In this way, it is equivalent to omitting all the previous cumbersome procedures. The navy only needs to notify nearby warships to rush over.
But in fact? Cass and his gang had just raised the pirate flag and were not being rewarded by the Navy. So, can they be considered pirates?
Calculate. Because they flew the pirate flag. According to the regulations of the navy, as long as the ship is flying the pirate flag or there is a skull pattern painted on the sail, it is a pirate. Even if there is no reward, it can be caught. At most, the reward will be added later. That's it, you don't even need to offer a reward, after all, you've already been caught.
So, it can’t be said that Cass and others were wronged when they were massacred by Shiryu. It was just like Sakazuki said, they were too stupid, and the King was too smart.
While the warship was learning all the details of the mission, the sword nodachi called Raiu in Shiryu's hand had already killed all the pirates on the five ships.
But just as Sakazuki had speculated before, two ships had gradually sailed away, or were running away frantically for their lives.
This caused hot lava to start flowing out of his right arm. Black smoke rolled into the blue sky. As the red lava dripped onto the deck, a thick smell of sulfur filled the air.
[Swoosh!]
Just as Sakazuki was about to act, a long and wide scarlet sword light suddenly appeared and flew over the sea at an extremely fast speed, instantly cutting off the main masts and antlers of the two pirate ships.
Once the sail fell into the sea, the ship could no longer use the power of the wind to sail, and its speed quickly slowed down. It didn’t take long for it to float back and forth with the waves, completely turning into a huge wooden coffin on the sea.
More than two hundred people on board could only watch in despair as the bloodthirsty devil approached.
Soon after, there were screams and screams, but they only lasted about thirty seconds before falling into silence again.
"Very good!"
Sakazuki's eyes were full of admiration. He originally wanted to let Onigumo be his adjutant, but now this Shiryu is also very good.
Since you have hoisted the pirate flag and are planning to form a pirate group, you will be condemned to death and not qualified to continue breathing air.
Pirates are all a bunch of damn trash!
