Pirate's Fire Dragon's Claw

Chapter 369 The Insidious Navy

"Luo, we've been besieging them for three days, but there's still no movement on the island. Will your method work?"

Ace complained to Luo that Luo was very confident at first, but after three days, he was a little uncertain
"It stands to reason that it should be effective. That's 5000 lives. If Taotu gave up these people directly, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction with the countries that sent these soldiers. At this juncture, they should not offend these countries."

"But it's been so long, they still haven't moved, what should we do, should we continue to wait? Just force the attack."

Luo frowned

"Wait another day, if they don't act tomorrow, we will attack"

"Okay, let's wait another day"

That night, when Luo was about to rest, Ace hurriedly found Luo
"Luo, Luo, there is movement, there is movement in the navy"

Luo suddenly lost all sleepiness, and hurriedly asked:
"Which direction, how many people did they leave?"

"With their backs facing us, they should be trying to use the night to rescue them. According to the watchers, the number of warships should be at least 3."

Luo frowned

"3 people? More than I thought, it's not that easy to deal with."

Ace is in a hurry

"Hey, Luo, let's do it. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know if there is another chance."

Luo thought about it carefully
"Well, okay, let's go"

Then Ace and Luo mobilized all the pirates. Except for 15000 people to continue to surround the 5000 people, all the rest of the pirates were dispatched to ambush on the only way the rescue team must pass.

Hiding in the ambush location, Ace and Luo saw the rescued naval fleet from a distance. Those warships were all pitch-black, with no lighting at all. Luo frowned, but then thought it might be the navy who wanted to take advantage of the night to attack, so I didn't feel weird without the lights on.

Ace held the phone bug in his hand, and after seeing the navy's fleet sailing near the center of the ambush circle, he gave orders to the phone bug

"action!"

Following Ace's order, all the pirate ships ambushing around appeared, swarmed up, and surrounded the navy's fleet

"Woo~"

The reaction of the naval fleet was also very fast. With a piercing siren, shells were fired from the warship at the surrounding pirate ships.
But there are too many pirate ships around, the firepower of the naval fleet is not as good as that of the pirates, they are quickly suppressed by the pirates, and several warships were sunk in the artillery fire
Luo looked at the sunk warships and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember for a while.
At this time, those warships suddenly sailed in one direction at a high speed, and concentrated their firepower to attack the pirate ship in that direction. It seemed that they knew that there was no chance of winning, so they wanted to break out from one direction. Ace finally caught the opportunity and severely damaged the navy. Of course I won't let them run away like this, immediately order to the phone bug

"Shrink the encirclement, don't let them run away, kill them all for me"

The pirate ships heard the order and began to shrink the encirclement rapidly. The originally scattered pirate ships gathered together, densely blocking the way of the naval warships, and several warships were sunk

Looking at those sunk warships, Luo felt that something was wrong again, Luo frowned and thought carefully

"boom!"

At this time, another warship was sunk, and the violent explosion and flames brightened the night sky. When Luo saw the violent explosion, his eyes suddenly widened. He knew something was wrong. Those sunk warships The scale of the explosion was too large, as if the entire warship was loaded with explosives

Luo thought of a very scary possibility. The navy was planning to plot against them. Thinking of this, Luo quickly grabbed the phone bug in Ace's hand and shouted loudly at the phone bug:
"Retreat! Everyone retreats immediately, as far as they can from those warships!"

But it's too late, the encirclement has shrunk too small, the warships can't escape, and the pirate ships in the inner layer can't escape, and those naval warships suddenly scattered like crazy towards the pirate ships around. place rushed past, then

"boom!!!"

All the warships exploded together in an instant, and the violent explosion and flames illuminated the entire dark sea, and all those warships and pirate ships were on fire.
"How, how is this possible?"

Ace looked at those burning pirate ships in a daze
Luo frowned. The navy was much more difficult to deal with than he imagined. In fact, the navy's actions this time were not very clever. If you observe carefully, you can find many flaws. Moreover, Luo also thought at the very beginning that the navy would use its tricks.
However, because they were in a hurry and hadn't seen any results after waiting for three days, both Ace and Luo became a little restless. When they saw the navy come out to rescue them today, they were so excited that they didn't think about the trap, so they were turned by the navy.

"Blu blu blu, blu blu blu"

Suddenly, another phone bug in Ace's arms rang, and Ace, who was stunned, didn't notice it at all. Luo took out the phone bug in Ace's arms, picked up the phone bug, and an anxious voice came from the phone bug. the sound of
"Here is the monitoring team. Momotu has set off from the island with a large fleet and is heading towards you. There are a lot of people, at least 5. You should withdraw quickly."

This is obviously the backhand of the navy, who wants to take advantage of the chaos to wipe out all the pirates

The pirate fleet was not completely destroyed in the explosion just now, there are still a lot left, if there is still hope for escape, if you stay here, it is really over
Luo hurriedly pulled up Ace who was in despair
"Ace, don't be dazed, we have to get out of here quickly"

But Ace still has no energy, Luo can only temporarily replace Ace to give an order, ordering all the pirates to retreat urgently, including those who are still surrounding the 5000 people

The pirates actually lost their fighting spirit at this time. After Luo's order was given, everyone quickly scattered and fled.
Momotu and his men kept chasing the fleeing pirates until dawn.

After finally escaping, the scattered pirates slowly gathered together again, and Ace's spirit recovered a little. Luo and Luffy sat beside Ace, and Luo said to Ace:
"I'm sorry Ace, it's all because of my idea that it's like this"

Ace forced a smile

"It's not all your fault, who would have thought that the navy would use that kind of self-destruct attack?"

Luffy also said at this time:

"Yes, those navies are too insidious"

Seeing that Ace and Luffy didn't blame him, Luo felt even more guilty. He hoped that Ace and Luffy could blame him, and even scold him, so that he would feel better

The three of them were silent for a while, and Luo's expression suddenly became very tangled. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to Ace. stop look

Ace looked at their expressions and probably could guess what was going on, and said with a smile:
"Just tell me what's going on"

Several pirate captains looked at each other, and one of them came out and said to Ace:

"Ace, our pirate group has suffered heavy losses this time, we want to withdraw from this war and escape to other sea areas"

Ace thought that was indeed the case. After the failure last night, he expected that some people would retreat. He didn't say much, and he could understand the thoughts of these people. Then Ace smiled and turned to the captains. explain:
"It's okay, let's go, I wish you all the best."

"Thank you, Ace"

Ace watched the captains go away with a smile. When they disappeared from Ace's sight, the smile on Ace's face disappeared immediately, and he turned into a disappointed look.
Seeing Ace's sad look, Luffy felt uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pat Ace on the shoulder, Ace raised his head and forced a smile on Luffy

"Luffy, I'm fine"

At this time, Joz came from a distance, walked up to Ace and said to him with an ugly face:
"Ace, last night's casualty statistics are out"

"How many?"

Seeing Joz's expression, Ace guessed that there must be a lot of casualties, but he was a little surprised when Joz actually said it

"Last night's explosion killed more than 2 people, about 5000 people were lost or killed in the follow-up pursuit, and there were more than 1 people who were about to quit just now, and now we only have more than 3 people. the strength of the

Less than half of the 7-strong pirate coalition was left overnight. This was a huge blow to Ace. He felt a little dizzy and fell backwards unconsciously.
Seeing this, Luo and Luffy quickly supported Ace, and Luffy asked anxiously:
"Ace, are you okay?"

Ace shook his head, sat down with the support of Luffy and Luo, waved his hand and said:

"I'm all right"

Ace took a few deep breaths, then smiled and said:
"It seems that now we can only wait for the good news from Glenn and Shanks, and come to help us after they win. There is no hope for our side. I hope they will not let us down."

Luffy comforts Ace and says:
"The two of them are so strong, there must be no problem"

At this time, Luo hesitated again and again, and suddenly said:

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. There's no good news from either of them, and never will be."

Ace and Luffy were taken aback when they heard Luo's words, and Luffy asked:

"Rom, what do you mean, Glenn and Shanks are so strong, how could it be like what you said?"

Ace also said:
"That's right, even if you don't have confidence in Shanks, you should have confidence in Glenn, he is your partner, don't you know how strong he is than we do?"

Luo closed his eyes and sighed, as if he had made a decision, and then said to Ace and Luffy:
"It's true that Glenn is very strong, very strong, but what if he doesn't use his full strength at all?"

Ace frowned
"Don't use all your strength? Why don't you use all your strength? In this situation, if you don't do your best, your pirate group will also be wiped out by the world government."

Luo sneered

"Do you think that the goal of our pirate group is to destroy the coalition forces of the world government like you?"

"Is not it?"

"Not only the coalition forces of the world government, but also you and Shanks who are also pirates"
