What the Hell Would He Be Fleet Admiral For?
What would it be like for one person to face the concentrated fire of dozens of rapid-fire machine guns?
Commodore Eller witnessed it, and to be honest, even though he had been a naval officer for so many years, this was the first time he had ever faced such a dense barrage of bullets!
If it weren't for the layer of Armament Haki Hardening on the sword, and the fact that the Bokken given to him by his adjutant was of high quality, with his decades of Swordsman experience, an ordinary sword would have been broken by the continuous barrage of bullets long ago.
"Shave!"
"Geppo!"
Norman was surprised to see the naval officers in the distance first disappear from their original positions, and then reappear in mid-air in another location, approaching in a Z-shaped pattern as they stepped on the air.
This is the most commonly used tactic by the officers and soldiers of the headquarters. Since most pirates lack experience in anti-aircraft warfare, this method of attacking from another dimension is very effective.
Unfortunately, the Warfire Pirates are not your average pirate crew; all of them are experts in firearms!
You could say it's the pirate version of Germa 66!
[Bang--]
Then another deafening roar erupted, instantly drowning out all the gunfire, and Brigadier General Eller suddenly held his knife in front of him.
The next moment, the blade flicked, and the powerful force forced him back. Then, Norman's 'metal storm' swept over him again.
This time, it's a coordinated tactic between Norman and Haiye!
The former provides suppressive fire, while the latter provides precise sniping; their mutual support and alternation are enough to kill 'anyone' on the way!
"Cut!"
As the wooden sword slashed forward, the air in front of the blade surged violently, forming a blue crescent-shaped flying slash that temporarily blocked countless bullets for Brigadier General Eller while shooting towards Norman's location.
Norman's expression changed, but seeing that the bullets did not penetrate the slash, he gritted his teeth and stood still, firing wildly.
He firmly believed that he could handle anything a bullet could reach, and if he couldn't, it only meant that his firepower was insufficient!
[Da da!]
Norman and the nearby soldiers pointed all their guns at the incoming slash, unleashing their most terrifying firepower.
A single bullet may seem insignificant, but after being countered by a hundred or a thousand bullets, Brigadier General Eller's slash finally shattered and dissipated less than four meters in front of him!
"That damn sniper," Aile muttered angrily, staring at the white figure on the distant rooftop.
He had planned to take advantage of the moment when all the firepower was concentrated on the slashing attack to break into the enemy's position from the side, but there would always be a high-powered bullet that was extremely accurate, interrupting his movements every time.
He could tell that the members of these Warfire Pirates weren't particularly strong; they relied entirely on their firearms and excellent marksmanship.
So as long as he can get close, he can end the fight in no time!
"General, can we retreat now?" a soldier shouted to Norman.
Norman hesitated. It seemed that he hadn't killed many of the two groups of pirates, and he was reluctant to leave now.
"It's time to go, Norman," Haiye suddenly said from the rooftop.
"All right!"
Hearing Haiye say this, Norman had no choice but to prepare to leave.
"Walk?"
"Your voyage has come to an end."
"Who goes there?!" Norman and Haiye felt a chill run down their spines, their hair standing on end. The latter, in particular, quickly stood up and tried to get away, but while his upper body moved, his lower body remained firmly planted on the roof.
"This is..." Haiye looked down and found that his calf was tightly wrapped by a wooden stick that looked like a snake, which made him realize that something was wrong.
[Bang!]
"Ugh--" Just as he lowered his head, he was struck hard on the back of the head, his eyes rolled back, and he crashed headfirst into the roof.
"Haiye!!" Norman roared in shock and rage.
Haiye was the first comrade he brought out from the army and also his strongest officer. At this moment, he was punched into the roof by a guy who suddenly appeared, and his entire head was buried inside.
You deserve to die!!
[Da da]
Dozens of bright flames burst forth from his fingertips and various parts of his upper body, instantly enveloping the tall figure in a terrifying metallic storm.
[Bang bang.]
One hot bullet after another struck his body, tearing the naval officer on the roof to pieces, even tearing his neck apart!
Norman quickly discovered that the man's clothes and body were rapidly fading, and that what he had smashed was merely a wooden figure about three meters tall.
"Ability person?"
[Bang--]
Before he could even finish his thought, he was struck hard on the back of the head and fell to the ground. There, he saw a tall figure appear behind Norman.
But his physique was clearly much stronger than Haiye's. Although he was a little dizzy, he did not lose consciousness. Just as Norman was about to struggle to get up, a clean leather shoe stepped heavily on his head and pressed him back down.
"General!!"
The nearby soldiers were alarmed and immediately pulled their machine gun triggers to fire.
But a devastating scene unfolded: all the bullets seemed to encounter an invisible wall of air, bouncing off within two meters of Vidal.
[Swish! Swish!]
"Ahh!"
But these soldiers of the Warfire Pirates seemed to have forgotten that they also had enemies behind them.
Several sharp blades flashed, and in the blink of an eye, Brigadier General Eller had cut down a dozen or so men.
"Adjutant?!"
Vidal nodded to him, then glanced at Norman, who was still struggling at his feet, and suddenly kicked him to a complete stop with his right foot, before kicking him in front of Brigadier General Eller.
"Button it up."
"Yes!" Aile replied hastily, feeling ashamed.
"The Inn Street can't continue to be in such a state of chaos."
Vidal slowly squatted down and slammed his palm heavily on the ground, instantly creating a pale green ripple that spread out from his palm.
Although nothing unusual happened at the hot spring resort, every single one of the troublemakers in areas 70 to 79 was successively entangled and wrapped by terrifying, wildly growing thorny branches!
The vines were too gentle; in a foul mood, he decided to teach these scoundrels a lesson.
Want to go to Impel Down?
Can.
First, you have to get through the massive bleeding. If you survive, you'll be allowed in!
This scene left the local bullies who were secretly observing speechless. Such a wide-ranging attack was enough to prove the high level of Vidal's Observation Haki and Devil Fruit ability.
The chaos in an entire region was quelled with a flick of the Commodore general's hand.
Next, we'll see how he deals with the two giants at the shipyard. After all, although the Giant Fist Pirates only have two members, their strength is far beyond that of the Warfire Pirates, and even adding three or four more pirate crews wouldn't be enough!
The very existence of giants gives them an overwhelming advantage over the lower classes!
However, since Vidal has already decided to hand over the task to Brigadier General Bivis, Gumir, and Vincent, he will not easily change his mind.
If he has to take the initiative in everything, what's the point of having these subordinates?
As for not being able to win or getting hurt, tsk, if a navy officer doesn't even have this much awareness, he should just go home and take care of his kids!
He intervened to suppress the Inn Street because it was the most densely populated area in Sabaody, and the Warfire Pirates' method of using large-scale machine gun fire was too destructive and could easily cause a large number of civilian casualties.
If he knows this clearly and still chooses to stay in his office drinking tea, what kind of navy officer is he? What kind of Fleet Admiral he?
Here's something really embarrassing: the website didn't give me a major featured recommendation; instead, it showed smaller recommendations on the website itself, the homepage, categories, and the right side of the page. Oh, I cried!!
