Heavenly Disaster Naval Battle: Railgun
The cannons roared, and lightning flashed!
Off the coast of Dressrosa, a fierce naval battle is raging.
But in reality:
"Damn it! If 'Mom' hadn't left behind a daughter outside, I would have suspected that guy inherited 'Mom's' abilities!"
"Don't talk nonsense, SOIR."
Faced with the complaints of the fair-skinned young woman beside him, Baron Tamago, who had calmed down, glanced at her calmly.
"'Mother's' power comes from Devil Fruit, and these things aren't hereditary. Don't panic, Lord Custard."
The woman, Baron Tamago called Custard, had beautiful brown eyes and short Violet hair adorned with a flower. She wore a purple-pink bodysuit with elbow-length gloves and a belt. A fluffy light pink shawl draped over her shoulders was decorated with pink polka dots.
Charlotte Custard, the sixth daughter of the Charlotte Family, is 45 years old, but looks as youthful and beautiful as a 15-year-old girl with a slender figure. She is far superior to her younger sister Brûlée, who is two years younger but looks like an old witch!
—Whether it's talent or looks.
"I know, but..."
No wonder Custard was so frustrated. The enemy ships were sailing smoothly with the wind and Luffy his own ships were being battered by constantly crashing lightning overhead and raging waves below. How could they possibly fight a naval battle like this? Moreover:
They usually enjoy smooth sailing, while their opponents struggle in all sorts of harsh natural environments!
Their "mother" Charlotte Linlin can make objects obey her by infusing them with souls. Using this property of the Soul-Soul Fruit, Big Mom even gained the ability to manipulate the weather and natural phenomena.
To create storms, flames, thunder, and waves...
That's right! The Big Mom can even infuse her soul into the ocean to create waves. In fact, most Devil Fruit abilities are not afraid of seawater. The main function of seawater has always been to suppress the physical strength of Devil Fruit user, rendering them unable to move.
These were originally Big Mom's specialties, used to utterly defeat countless pirate crews and marines. But today:
They became the victims! Where is justice?!
"Calm down. It seems that unless those three adults take action, it will be difficult for us to do anything to the Straw Hat Pirates on the high seas."
They did try to storm the Sunny Merry and fight on deck, but the entire ship didn't even have a single mirror! This left the Big Mom Pirates looking at each other in bewilderment.
These guys are supposed to be famous Supernovas pirates, don't they ever comb their hair, wash their faces, or care about their image?
Of course not!
Most of the Straw Hat crew members are very clean, especially Nami and Robin; their rooms are filled with mirrors of all sizes. However, Roman, who knows the 'plot' intimately, has already stored all the mirrors on the ship in his 'Pocket Page,' and it would be even better if the other party could travel into those ' Pocket Page'—
He died from suffocation!
Immediately afterwards, the Big Mom Pirates' executives attempted to use 'Geppo' to engage in aerial boarding action, and then:
Under Nami's lightning and Roman's sword energy, they were all charred black and flew backward, bleeding profusely! Several weaker ones plunged headfirst into the churning sea, prompting a group of officers with Fish-Man blood to scramble into the water to rescue them.
In short, after fighting for quite a while, the Big Mom Pirates hadn't even touched the deck of the 'Sunny Merry,' while the 'Queen Mama Chant' beneath their feet had already...
"Mommy~~Where is Mommy?"
"Lightning! Giant waves! I'm so scared!"
·······
Even the usually cheerful figureheads turned gloomy, leaving the officers on deck utterly speechless.
"How about we just forget about it?"
Wearing sunglasses and a pink suit, the lion-like Pekoms whispered a suggestion. They had come to the Straw Hat crew with great fanfare demanding Caesar, only to have the crew throw Caesar at them like a 'bomb,' resulting in a failed mission and leaving the crew looking utterly humiliated.
"Even if we keep chasing like this, we won't get anywhere, right?"
Pekoms, a Zoan Devil Fruit user, is not particularly suited for naval warfare, especially given the ferocity of his opponent...
That's right, he's a lion-man who ate the 'Zoan Turtle-Turtle Fruit'. You could say that besides gaining a turtle shell for defense, it served no other purpose, and he also inexplicably became a landlubber.
Perhaps, maybe, possibly it even inherited the lifespan of a tortoise?
"No! If we go back like this—"
Charlotte Custard slammed her hand on the ship's railing, both angry and terrified! She had set off full of confidence, thinking it would be a piece of cake; but she hadn't expected the Straw Hat crew to be so fierce and insane! Not only did they 'kill' her at the slightest provocation, but they could also control the weather to overwhelm her! At this rate...
I'm afraid my mother will be angry if I go back!
The thought of her being both their mother and the captain of the BIG MOM Pirates when she was angry was both terrifying and frightening to them, even as her children.
"Wow, you've got some perseverance."
Roman watched the 'Queen Mama Chant' rise and fall relentlessly amidst the raging winds, towering waves, and thunder and Electric Light, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow behind his mask.
"Forget it, I don't have time to waste on you guys! Nami— "
"Should we use that move?"
Nami hesitated for a moment, which was uncharacteristic of hers; after all, 'that move' was a bit too...
"There's no other way, why don't you unleash a 'Mamaragan' attack?"
Roman proposed,
"Make sure the BIG MOM Pirates on the other side run as far away as possible."
Even a weak natural 'thunder' like this could be withstood by each of the opposing officers using Armament Haki.
"No need,"
Nami her eyes at Roman. Even Enel, the genuine user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, needed the Ark Maxim to unleash his Mamaragan. How could Nami, this knock-off, possibly have such powerful output? You couldn't even drain her dry!
"Fine, let's use that one move."
Nami finally nodded in agreement, since she didn't know what the situation was like on Luffy's side.
"Yo ho ho, then let's use that move!"
After finishing his speech, Brook was holding a cup of Black Tea, turned to look at Roman and Nami, his empty eyes revealing confusion.
"But what is 'that move'?"
·······
"This is our partner 'Sunny Merry's' new ultimate attack!"
The 'Windy Cannon' used for acceleration at the rear of the Sunny Merry is still intact, but the attack-use 'Windy Cannon' located at the lion's head had long been removed and reused by Franky. He even called it the 'Business Trip Version - Windy Cannon,' leaving Roman speechless.
"That's fine!"
Although Roman made it sound easy, if all the enemy's officers recklessly charged at him with Geppo, things would get really bad. Even if Roman could escape, what about Nami and Brook? And what about the 'Sunny Merry'?
It seems they won't let this go until they've really hurt the other side.
As for handing Caesar over to the BIG MOM Pirates and letting that scum continue experimenting on children, that was never Roman's option.
Splash splash~~~
A flurry of white paper, like snowflakes, poured from Roman, quickly covering the entire 'Sunny Merry'. Roman hadn't used paper to protect his ship since Water 7, as Franky's new ships were more than capable of withstanding the natural disasters of the New World. However:
If it's a man-made disaster—
"This is your last warning. Get out of here."
A white dove flapped its wings and hovered in front of the 'Queen Mama Chant', solemnly issuing its ultimatum.
"As for our past grievances, we can settle them another time."
Puff!
A Flying Slash instantly split the white dove in two, and Roman received the opponent's 'answer' precisely.
"Do it,"
Railgun is an advanced kinetic energy weapon that utilizes electromagnetic launch technology.
Unlike traditional cannons that apply the pressure of propellant gases to the projectile, Railgun use the Ampere force generated by the electromagnetic field in an electromagnetic system to accelerate the metal projectile to the kinetic energy required to strike the target.
This thing, while undeniably high-tech and a strategic and tactical weapon heavily developed by various nations on Earth in its past life, is also quite practical. In fact, there were videos on Bilibili (a Chinese video-sharing Bilibili) of homemade Railgun using coins to bombard toy cars. Like nuclear weapons, the principle is actually quite simple, but:
"According to the capacitance formula and the law of conservation of energy, the higher the voltage, the stronger the magnetic energy converted, and the higher the initial velocity of the projectile."
"At the same time, the material of the shell is also a very important factor, and Wapol Metal has perfectly solved this problem..."
This world's unscientific voltage combined with unscientific metals results in this unscientific weapon beneath our feet:
Click,
The lion's head 'jaw' of the Sunny Merry slid open, revealing a huge cannon muzzle, and Roman and Nami simultaneously activated their 'Lightning Ability'.
"Sixty Million Volts! Charge—"
"Momo - 50 times!"
Although the interference and loss from the two abilities prevented the lightning from reaching an exaggerated value of three billion, it was still no problem for it to soar to over one hundred million!
Meanwhile, the 'Sunny Merry' was also crackling with dazzling Electric Light, with lightning bolts as thick as fingers darting around, transforming the entire ship into a thunderous behemoth that revealed its claws amidst terrifying and turbulent thunderous roars.
!?
"Careful--"
"Walk!!"
In an instant, an unparalleled sense of danger descended upon the officers on the deck of the 'Queen Mama Chant'. They instinctively leaped away! Some ascended into the air using Geppo, others used their leg strength to leap high into the air, and some even plunged headfirst into the sea beside them!
Their Observation Haki had never sounded such a clear alarm as it did now, signaling an impending, terrifying attack.
"Fusion- Ship-mounted Railgun!"
"Boom!!!!"
A beam of light, stretching across the sky, shot forth from the lion figurehead of the Sunny Merry: it abruptly pierced the world before it, disappearing into the distance with boundless light and heat. The air in the path of this shot was severely distorted and deformed, transforming into a bizarre and surreal 'passage'! Dazzling lightning snaked and exploded within the passage, only slowly dissipating after a long while.
As the light streaked across the sea, a massive crack suddenly appeared, as if cleaved in two by an invisible sword! Tens of millions of tons of seawater surged high to both sides, creating a massive, turbulent roar! The enormous sound even drowned out the continuous thunder in the sky.
"... What exactly is going on?"
Baron Tamago, soaring into the air, stared in cold sweat at the bombardment below that pierced the void and parted the sea. He couldn't believe they had encountered such an opponent! It was simply:
"Like a 'mother' giving it her all..."
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!"
The officers have Observation Haki, which allows them to dodge in advance, but the 'Queen Mama Chant' below doesn't have that ability.
The massive, aircraft carrier-like hull was instantly pierced by the beam of light, which entered from the left front of the ship and then swept away everything in its path! All obstacles had been reduced to nothingness, and a straight, extremely deep and wide hole in the ship's side stretched straight to the right rear of the hull!
Those with good eyesight can even see the scenery on the other side through the hole, and the wood around the hole is covered with charred black and red sparks, which are the terrible scars left by the instantaneous penetration of the Wapol Metal.
"Mommy~~Mommy!!"
Although the 'Queen Mama Chant' is a ship, it is also a giant 'Homies' with its own 'soul,' meaning it can feel pain, fear, and—
Run away!
"I want to go back~~ I don't want to stay here~~ Waaaaaah!!"
The massive ship made a 180-degree turn on its own, leaving a huge hole in its body, and fled without hesitation, allowing the many cadres who landed back on the deck to breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's all?"
"That's all."
