I was a pirate, but I was given a Death panel

It is about 300 nautical miles away from Branch .

On a small uninhabited island.

At this moment, a top-secret test is taking place here.

A large number of surveillance phone bugs were deployed on it, covering almost all areas.

At the same time, a large ironclad ship stopped about one kilometer away from the island.

Inside the ship, Sean was leading Robin, Lu Qi and a group of people in white coats, looking at the pictures on a large number of screens in front of them.

A pirate wearing prison uniform is exploring the island.

"Lieutenant General, the No. 7 special bomb has been loaded, and the naval gun has been calibrated!"

"Then let's start, order Usopp to fire!"

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

A few seconds later, with a loud bang, a special cannonball was instantly blasted out of one of the barrels of the main gun on the bow of the ship, and landed hard somewhere on the uninhabited island less than 3 seconds later. The horrific explosion immediately overturned a large number of trees near the explosion point.

Fortunately, there was not much deviation in the explosion point. The distance from the monitoring phone bug was nearly a hundred meters away, and the picture could still be transmitted.

However, at this moment, the sky was filled with dust and there was almost no visibility.

After more than a minute, the scene was barely visible.

"Lieutenant General, the pirates 10 meters away from the explosion point have been confirmed dead and have been reduced to nothing."

"The pirate 30 meters away from the explosion point still showed slight signs of movement and was judged to be seriously injured."

"The pirate who was 50 meters away from the explosion point could only move but could only crawl. His injuries were not serious, but the sea floor stone embedded in his body caused him to be extremely weak."

"The pirate who was 80 meters away from the explosion point was hiding behind a tree and seemed to have suffered no other injuries except for some shocks."

"Although the pirate 100 meters away from the explosion point was knocked to the ground by the shock wave, he was still able to get up and escape. His injuries were very minor."

"Preliminary conclusion is that the effective killing distance of fragmentation bombs against ability users should be about 50 meters, and at a position of about 100 meters, it has almost lost its lethality."

Based on the scene on the screen, Leitus on the side immediately made a preliminary analysis.

The cannonballs fired just now were no ordinary cannonballs.

But under Sean's leadership, the scientific research institute developed a new type of artillery shell, a fragmentation shell!

Pure gunpowder damage is actually not very lethal in the world of pirates.

After all, the people in this world are physically much stronger than the humans in Sean's previous life.

Even if he is just an ordinary person, in terms of physical fitness alone, he is definitely several times stronger than the military king in Sean's previous life.

Not to mention those pirates with abilities who are much stronger than ordinary people and eat devil fruits.

Therefore, the idea of ​​fragmentation bombs was proposed by Sean.

As usual, Sean didn't know much about technology, so he just came up with an idea.

What if the sea floor stone is made into a large number of micro-fragments and then loaded into a cannonball, so that after the cannonball explodes, the countless fragments can be released, forming a large-scale attack with no blind spots?

Although Sean only proposed an idea, it was enough.

As I said before, scientists in the pirate world never lack abilities, and their abilities are even much stronger than those of Sean's previous scientists.

But what they lack is ideas and ideas.

No, fragmentation bullets have been studied.

Facts have also proven that the use of fragmentation bullets is extremely lethal to ability users.

A large number of fragments enter the body, and even if you can resist it with a strong body, it will definitely make you lose your fighting power.

After all, if the body is full of fragments of sea tower stone, the ability user is equivalent to being useless.

He could only lie limply on the ground, waiting to be arrested, and then sent by Sean to the small black room of Hailou Stone to peel off the devil fruit.

As for the pirates who are within 10 meters of the explosion point, because they are too close, they may be shot into the body by several times or even dozens of times of sea floor stone fragments, and they will be directly beaten into a sieve.

This one will most likely just hang up.

"The effect is not bad, but it would be even better if we could find a way to improve it to ensure that the target does not die even at a distance of ten meters!"

"Yes, Lieutenant General, we will continue to think of ways in this regard!"

"Well, there's no rush. The existing fragmentation bullets will be produced first, and improved models will be developed while they are being produced. Next, let's try another baby."

"understand!"

He nodded, but soon Leitus showed an embarrassed expression.

"what happened?"

"This... the cluster bomb proposed by the Vice Admiral, although we have developed it, we currently lack the tools to deliver it, because this thing requires at least a 500mm naval gun to meet the conditions for use..."

All right...

It's not that Sean can't understand this. After all, the most powerful naval gun in his hand is not even 300mm, and the size of the cluster bomb is destined to be large. Who told him to carry so many things in his stomach?

"You introduce me first!"

Sean nodded and said.

"Yes, Lieutenant General, the cluster bombs we have developed so far also use fragmentation killing methods. Each one carries about 180 high-explosive fragmentation bombs, which can be triggered in the air and allow these 180 high-explosive fragmentation bombs to explode. Fragmentation rounds would cover an area of ​​at least about one square kilometer."

"If we talk about the lethality alone, it is definitely much smaller than the 280mm fragmentation shell that was just tested. It is difficult to cause fatal damage, but it should be able to ensure dense coverage in this area and make all capable users lose their combat effectiveness."

"Although we can make smaller cluster bombs by reducing the number of high-explosive fragmentation bombs and use them on today's 280mm naval guns, but in this way, the coverage will not be able to meet the requirements made by you, Lieutenant General, so ..."

After listening to Leitus' explanation, Sean also understood.

Mainly because the requirements I originally raised cannot be realized with existing naval guns.

"It doesn't matter. Let's try the effect first and then talk about it. Where is the thing?"

"This way, Lieutenant General!"

------

A few minutes later.

On the bow deck, all the people in white coats were dumbfounded.

Because Sean directly lifted the huge cluster bomb.

"Lieutenant General?"

"I'll be a human cannon!"

Human naval gun...

What the hell?

"By the way, how did this thing explode?"

Suddenly, Sean remembered an important question, how to make this thing detonate over the target?

"Based on calculating the precise time it takes for the artillery shell to arrive at the target location after it is fired, the cluster bomb should then be set to count down."

"That's it, okay, set it for 3 seconds."

"Lieutenant General, are you going to..."

"Don't ask, just do it!"

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

Soon, Leitus set the time.

"How do I start this countdown?"

"It doesn't need to be started. As long as the cluster bomb moves at high speed, this countdown will start automatically."

"What if I drop this thing from the air? Will it fall fast enough to activate?"

Sean frowned.

This question needs to be asked clearly. After all, the speed at which the projectile is fired is supersonic.

"That's enough. In fact, it will be activated as long as it reaches a speed of about 30 meters per second!"

"30 meters? That's no problem!"

Sean nodded, and then, under the stunned gaze of all the white coats, Sean carried the huge cluster bomb and walked step by step into the air like walking up stairs.

"Commodore Lucci, is the Lieutenant General using the Navy's Moon Step?"

Leitus looked confused, then looked at Lu Qi beside him.

But Lu Qi shook his head.

How could it be Yuebu...

Speaking of which, I still don't know how my family did this.

Although I have tried several times, I have failed every time.

Even if I asked Sean, he was told that this is his special ability and only he can do it in the whole world.

Over time, I became numb.

------

ten minutes later.

Looking at the huge cluster bomb, Sean finally arrived at the center of the island, about 500 meters above the ground.

Even he was a little bit struggling at the moment.

Well, billion points!

At least it's more strenuous than taking nothing.

After all, this thing weighs several tons, and his basic power value is only close to 7000, which is far from the level of a monster like Garp.

Otherwise, just imitate Garp and smash the cannonball with one hand.

"Hey, as expected, the body is still too weak!"

He sighed slightly, then looked at the island below.

Immediately, Sean dropped the huge cluster shell.

A few seconds later, with a loud bang, the shell of the cluster bomb suddenly shattered, and the 180 high-explosive fragmentation bombs inside were instantly scattered and flew out. After a while, they fell downwards like rain.

After about ten seconds.

High-explosive fragmentation bombs fell to the ground one after another, and explosions sounded one after another.

Boom boom boom boom...

Viewed from the air, although these explosions are not comparable to the 280mm fragmentation shells just now, each explosion is not strong, but the coverage is wide.

Almost half of the uninhabited island is covered.

Xiendu felt that the coverage area of ​​one square kilometer mentioned by Leitus was definitely conservative.

"How's it going, Letus?"

Not having to carry such a large cargo, Sean quickly returned to the warship.

"Confirming, Lieutenant General!"

"Ok!"

Looking at the busy people in white coats, Sean was not in a hurry.

After a full minute, the results came out!

"Lieutenant General, among the nine pirates who were still alive on the island, one was killed by the cluster bomb attack, and eight were completely incapacitated."

"Wait a minute, how could someone die? The lethality of this thing shouldn't be enough to directly kill those pirates, right?"

"Well, that's because one of the high-explosive fragmentation bombs happened to fall on the pirate who was seriously injured and only breathed out in the previous round of testing, 30 meters away from the explosion point, and then..."

Well, if I had known earlier, I should have taken this guy out first and then tested the cluster bomb.

Once this person dies, there is no way to peel off the Devil Fruit.

Although the fruits of these ten people are all rubbish, no matter how rubbish the animal-type fruits are, they can still strengthen their bodies a lot after eating them.

It hurts...

"Lucci, notify Bruno to come and clean up, take all the survivors back to the branch's scientific research department, and then send them to the [Black Room] one by one."

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

Lu Qi knew very well what the [Black Room] was.

This is the code name of the small black room in Hailou Stone. Lu Qi was present when the [black room] was used for the first time.

And now, Sean has handed over the use of the [Black Room] and the handling of the captured pirate ability users to Lu Qi.

Eight animal-type devil fruits...

Use it as a reward to hold a big competition among branch sailors?

This can be!

"Lu Qi, go back and organize it. We will hold a branch competition. Only sailors below the rank of school officer can participate. The top eight will be rewarded with a Devil Fruit!"

"Lieutenant General, this will be no problem at that time, but what if the person who can get the best ranking is unwilling to use the animal-type fruit?"

Lu Qi pondered for a moment and asked a question.

To put it bluntly, some people may look down on this fruit, after all...

Even among animals, these fruits are very rubbish.

The key is...

In this competition, Sophia will definitely get a place. He doesn't want Sophia to eat these garbage fruits.

"Well, what you said is indeed a problem, so..."

"After the competition, let the top eight people choose first. He can choose a certain fruit to eat, or he can choose to give up, and the reward will be postponed to the ninth place, and this will continue until the eight devil fruits are distributed."

"Of course, the eight people with the lowest scores will get priority before those who give up."

"Take Sofia as an example. I know you definitely don't want her to eat this stuff. So no matter what new fruits the branch gets from now on, she will have the first right to choose. How about that?"

Lu Qi's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.

Now, below the rank of school officer, the strongest ones are Ace and Sophia.

Ace is already an esper, so there is no need to consider him, and Sophia will most likely be the first in this competition.

This means that in the future, Sophia will have the first choice of Devil Fruits for the sixteen branches. As long as a good fruit appears, she can directly use this authority to obtain it.

Well, I can also help her hunt down a certain pirate with a powerful fruit...

Lu Qi couldn't be more satisfied with Sean's supplements.

"Lieutenant General, I would like to apply to lead the team into the Grand Route for training!"

"Come on, you want to hunt down a powerful Devil Fruit user and come back and make arrangements for Sophia, okay?"

Sean saw through his little thoughts, and even Lu Qi showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Okay, stop grimacing, I agree!"

"Thank you Lieutenant General!"

blue blue blue...

At this moment, Sean's phone suddenly rang.

"I'm Sean!"

"Lieutenant General, I am Kaku."

"Kaku, what happened?"

"Lieutenant General, the people from Nine Snake Island are here, saying that they are sending 50 warriors who have awakened their armed colors as agreed."

"Oh, Hancock is quite trustworthy. Please make arrangements first. I will be back in two days at most."

"This...Lieutenant General, the people from Nine Snakes told you to come back immediately, otherwise it will be too late!"

"Huh? What's going on?"

Sean was confused.

What do you mean you have to go back immediately, otherwise it will be too late?

"According to what Sundar Sonia said, Boya Hancock seems to be ill and is dying. Only you can save her!"

"You're sick, and you're almost dying? What's the disease?"

Sean was a little confused.

"Well, according to her, Hancock is suffering from lovesickness. I asked the military doctors, but they said they had never heard of this disease."

"Tell me again, what's wrong with you?"

"lovesickness!"

I go...

Sean understood, but he was also stupid.

What is lovesickness? How could he not know it after reading the original work?

Isn't it the curse of the Amazon Lily, a disease that only their emperor can suffer from?

Lovesick, and saying that only I can save you?

So, this Hancock fell in love with him?

Just because I removed the Celestial Dragon mark from him?

A little outrageous, but it seems reasonable...

"Lucci, let Bruno come over first and take me back to the 16th branch!"

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"
