Only then would they have a sliver of hope of surviving.
Chapter 753
Pudora Kingdom Port had grown noisy.
Opposite them, the Chris continued to advance.
As they gradually emerged from the smoke, the Chris Pirates finally saw daylight again.
After confirming that the Pudora Kingdom had stopped shelling them, Bartolomeo dispelled his Barrier.
Meanwhile, Kuro returned to his position and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
With such a fierce bombardment, the sea around them should have been churning violently.
But thanks to Kuro, the people aboard the Chris had not felt the slightest rocking.
Wiping the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, Kuro said quietly, "Dealing with the shock waves from a bombardment that intense..."
"Really took a lot out of me."
"That was as much work as a whole day of training."

Bartolomeo nodded and clicked his tongue. "This bombardment was far more dangerous than the last one."
"I could feel that enormous pressure!"
"Luckily, my Barrier can take quite a beating."
"Not a single shell managed to break through my defenses!"

"Was entirely thanks to you two!"
"You certainly stole the spotlight this time!"
