One pirate warship after another appeared in everyone's sight.
Finally, more than 130 pirate warships of various sizes appeared before the Azure Emperor Pirates.
"Quite a few have come. Looks like the Silver Axe Pirates have made a fortune lately!" Zesi said with a smile.
"It's just adding a few more good-for-nothings, not worth mentioning!" Bullet said dismissively.
"I'm talking about the ships, and these ships are much better than ours!" Zesi said with a laugh.
The Azure Emperor now has quite a few pirate ships.
When attacking the Pirate Hachinosu, the Azure Emperor Pirates chose to infiltrate quietly and carry out an assassination.
Therefore, all the pirate ships around the island were intact.
After this battle, Zesi and his crew acquired hundreds of pirate ships.
In addition, there were a large quantity of gold and silver jewelry, various artifacts, and so on.
Although none of the items were particularly valuable, the total quantity was still considerable, considering it was the spoils of tens of thousands of pirates.
However, although there were many pirate ships, they were all small pirate ships.
There were only a handful of pirate ships that Zesi could actually take a liking to.
Any one of the Silver Axe Pirates' ships in front of them was far better than the pirate ships they had captured.
The main ship, in particular, was enormous, even larger than the Flying Shadow, and was inlaid with a large amount of silver.
"Tell Buggy I've got my eye on Silver Axe's big pirate ship. Tell him to keep his cannons at bay, keep the 650s safe from being destroyed!" Zesi said to Shinobu beside him.
"Yes, I'll go inform Captain Buggy right away!" Shinobu said, then vanished from everyone's sight in a flash.
This is a movement technique unique to Wano Country ninjas, which appears to disappear instantly, but it is actually just a movement technique that uses bursts of speed.
It's actually similar to the Six Powers ' Shave, just with a different method of applying force.
Even if Zesi hadn't said anything, Buggy wouldn't have attacked the flagship.
That's the flagship of the Silver Axe Pirates; it must be full of powerful pirates.
The Silver Axe should also be on it.
The shells posed no threat to them; attacking them would only be a waste of ammunition.
Even if all the cannons we have were aimed at it, if we were lucky, we could only injure a few powerful pirates at most.
The artillery in this world is simply too outdated, or rather, for some of the powerful beings in this world, the speed of the cannonballs is too slow.
So, while cannons are useful to ordinary people, they can be easily countered by those with considerable strength, especially those with Observation Haki. "Attention! Adjust your firing parameters, aim carefully! The captain said he's got his eye on that biggest pirate ship; it'll belong to our Azure Emperor Pirates from now on, so don't fire on it. The other pirate ships are fine, aim and fire!" Buggy commanded his men.
Zesi once said that he would establish a special artillery unit, and that this artillery unit would be under the command of Buggy.
Therefore, Buggy also devoted a lot of time to researching gunpowder shells.
He not only studied how to increase the power of artillery shells, but also how to increase their firing rate and accuracy.
Later, when Zesi found out, he told him that as the commander of an artillery unit, it was useless for him to be accurate; he should develop a method that would allow everyone to be accurate.
He was also told that he should use the data to adjust the firing parameters of the shells, etc.
After some research, Buggy finally figured out some firing parameters and data. "Reporting, Captain, the enemy is within our firing range. Firing parameters are adjusted!"
When selecting members for the Second Division, Buggy specifically chose those who were quick-witted or possessed special skills.
Therefore, everyone in the Second Division was able to quickly learn these shooting techniques.
"Fire! Fire hard! Don't leave a single shell behind! I don't need shells with that kind of power. From now on, our Second Division will be equipped with my specially made Buggy Cannonball. Don't leave me a single one of these piece of junk! Shoot them all out as fast as you can!"
"Yes"
"Fire!"
Dozens of cannons immediately opened fire.
The thunderous roar of cannon fire rained down on the Silver Axe Pirates.
At first, the Silver Axe Pirates didn't care.
They were just some shells.
As pirates of the New World, are we really afraid of a few cannonballs?
But gradually, they discovered that the enemy's shells were being fired at them relentlessly, as if they were free.
And his aim was incredibly accurate.
In the blink of an eye, several ships had been sunk by these shells.
Now the Silver Axe Pirates finally started to tense up.
Some of the Silver Axe Pirates ' officers and captains also realized something was wrong.
We can no longer allow the enemy to bombard us.
So they rushed out one by one, knocking some of the shells away or cutting them in two.
"You damned brat, always trying to outsmart me! Order the fleet to charge at full speed! Officers, clear out these shells!" Silver Axe said coldly.
Immediately, many powerful pirates rushed out to clear away the incoming cannonballs.
The Silver Axe Pirates still had many powerful pirates capable of clearing cannonballs, and they immediately cleared away all the incoming cannonballs.
"Damn it, I've been waiting for you to do this! Replace all of them with Buggy Ball, I'll make them pay dearly!" Buggy commanded.
During this period, Buggy also produced some Buggy Ball, but due to manpower constraints, the number of Buggy Bomb produced was not large.
Buggy, having trained in Roger Pirates, knew that some skilled fighters could deflect or block cannonballs, and some swordsmen could even launch direct slashes to deflect cannonballs.
That's what the Roger Pirates used to do all the time.
So he decided to save these few Buggy Bomb, waiting for the Silver Axe Pirates to do something like that, and then use them to ambush them.
Not everyone can unleash a slashing strike to shatter a cannonball.
Most of the time, they would leap into the air and slice the shells in half with their swords, or use Taijutsu to kick or knock the shells away.
However, this method might work against ordinary shells, but against the powerful Buggy Ball, it would be suicidal.
Take, for example, the officers of the Silver Axe Pirates.
"Boom boom boom!" Dozens of powerful Buggy Cannonball exploded continuously, shaking the sea.
The continuous explosions of bombs filled the sky with the smoke of gunpowder.
The Silver Axe Pirates stared in disbelief at the explosions, watching the powerful blasts engulf the officers who were clearing the shells.
The sudden turn of events left everyone speechless with shock.
This was the first time they had ever seen such a powerful shell; even the navy's most elite shells couldn't compare.
"Damn it!" Silver Axe's face was grim.
At least a dozen cadres had just died in this artillery barrage.
Before they had even seen the enemy's face, more than a dozen cadres had died. How could Silver Axe not be furious and his face turn ugly?
"Hahaha, now you know how awesome Buggy is!" Buggy said with a smug laugh.
"Haha, well done, Buggy!" Even Zesi couldn't help but praise him and laugh, Buggy did have some talent for using artillery.
"Keep hitting him!"
Buggy's artillery opened fire again.
"Don't be so arrogant, you brats," Silver Axe roared.
As he spoke, Silver Axe waved his hand, and a silver chair beside him quickly began to change shape, instantly transforming into a large silver axe that flew into Silver Axe's hand.
Holding a large Silver Axe, Silver Axe took a step forward and swept the axe horizontally.
A massive axe-like beam swept out, engulfing all the cannonballs.
"I am Silver Axe, such petty tricks cannot defeat me!" Silver Axe shouted, exuding an aura of Haki.
Silver Axe, Paramecia Silver-Silver Devil Fruit User.
This top-tier combatant of the New World fully displayed his prowess at this moment.
