Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

On the Red Hair Pirates' Red Force, Shanks sat at a table under the mast, drunkenly holding a wine glass, and said to his vice-captain Beckman:

"Ace is a pretty good brat. I thought he would be caught by Kaido, but he made a scene in Wano Country and was able to leave safely."

"Haha, Shanks, ever since Ace went out to sea, I noticed that you've been talking about him in my ears."

Shanks laughed loudly upon hearing this, and said with a smug look on his face:

"Because that's my captain's child!"

Beckman suddenly showed a cunning look on his face and asked Shanks:

"Then when Luffy goes out to sea, do you want Luffy to become the Pirate King, or Ace to become the Pirate King? Or do you want to defeat both of them and become the Pirate King yourself?"

Beckman's question instantly overloaded Shanks' limited brain capacity, and he was stunned.

"Ah... this..."

At this time, the sniper Jesus Bu on the observation deck shouted down:

"Boss! Two naval vessels spotted in the distance!"

Beckman, who wanted to continue teasing his idiot captain, frowned and began to recall the recent news, muttering to himself:

"Navy? Why are they coming to our territory?

I haven't heard of any major moves from the navy, have you?"

Shanks stood up shakily, obviously drunk, and shouted to Jesus:

"I'm Red-Haired Shanks! Why should I be afraid of a mere marine? Come over here!"

"Boss, it looks like one of them is Garp's dog-headed warship!"

As Jesus Bu's words came again, Shanks sobered up a lot.

Beckman looked at Shanks's embarrassed expression and laughed without restraint as he asked:

"Hahahaha, hey, Shanks, you still want to get over there by boat?"

Shanks blushed and was about to continue yelling to get on board when Jesus jumped down from the observation deck.

Looking at Shanks with a look of slight fear and half disbelief, he said in a trembling voice:

"Boss, the other ship is Akainu's warship, and Tenshu is also on Garp's warship!!!"

"Fuck!"

At this moment, not only Shanks sobered up, Beckman was also startled.

Jesus asked again without any tact,

"Boss, are we really going to move over there?"

"Fuck it, go tell them to drive the boat as fast as possible!!!"

...

...

On the other side, the three giants of the navy stood at the bow of the dog-head warship. Mo Xingchen put one hand on his eyebrow to block the sunlight and squinted his eyes to look.

He found that the pirate ship, which was originally sailing slowly, suddenly lowered its full sail and rushed out with a "whoosh", and laughed softly:

"Hey, this bastard wants to run!"

"Hehe, our two ships are admiral-level warships. They are not slower than his ship. It won't be that easy for him to get rid of us."

Sakaski sneered.

Because the pirate world is basically full of sailboats that are powered by wind, the pirates rely heavily on navigators, not only to determine the route, but more importantly to rely on wind direction to move the ship forward to pursue the enemy, or to get rid of the enemy.

The navy is different. It has its own huge scientific research department and talented doctors like Vegapunk. Therefore, all warships above the level of vice admiral are powered by both steam and wind.

Because coal supply is inconvenient, they usually rely on sailing. At critical moments, they will use steam engines to accelerate. Otherwise, they have to rely on wind power. How can the navy's warships operate in the doldrums?

Garp took off his Justice Coat and placed it on the railing. While doing warm-up exercises, he instructed the navy soldiers behind him:

"Go and bring me some cannonballs! Bring me more!"

"Yes! Lieutenant General!"

The soldiers standing behind them immediately ran to carry the ammunition boxes.

Mo Xingchen estimated the distance between Shanks' pirate ship and the warship, and said with a smile:

"Uncle Cap, this seems a bit far, are you sure?"

Karp grinned when he heard this, but didn't say anything. He just picked up a cannonball and weighed it in his hand, then leaned back suddenly, making a standard baseball throwing motion, with his arm muscles bulging high.

"Fist Bone·Meteorite!"

The cannonball flew towards the Red Hair Pirates at a speed as fast as lightning, drawing a perfect arc in the air.

Mo Xingchen was dumbfounded when he saw that Karp could actually throw the ball several kilometers away with his bare hands. He was really still strong despite his old age.

But if you think about it, this old guy can throw an iron ball that is several times larger than a ship one kilometer away to hit Luffy, so throwing a small cannonball seems reasonable.

A dark red flying slash flew out from the Red Force and collided with the shell thrown by Garp in the air, causing a huge explosion instantly.

"Boom!!!"

It is obvious that Shanks knows how powerful the shells thrown by Garp are.

He didn't dare to let the shells explode on the ship, or even in the sea, otherwise the huge explosion and the shock would definitely affect their ship's speed.

If they were caught up, Garp alone would be enough to deal with them, not to mention the two generals Akainu and Tenshu. Even if Beckman could stop one, who would stop the other?

...

...

Mo Xingchen looked at the pirate ship that had obviously been blown away by the impact of the shell explosion, and said speechlessly:

"Uncle, you are not an undercover agent!"

"Yohahahahaha~ I'm used to beating up little pirates."

Karp scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly, but he didn't use the cannonballs to attack anymore. Not only did they fail to hit anyone, but it was also obvious that they were just giving them a speed-up buff.

Mo Xingchen turned his head to look at Sakaski, who had a grim face and crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes full of questions.

“I can’t hit it that far.”

Sakaski was an honest man. He didn't even think about giving it a try. He just said in a very serious and righteous manner that he couldn't do it.

Mo Xingchen raised one hand, rubbed his smooth chin and began to think. His current Nine Heavens Divine Thunder could not hit high-speed moving targets.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder at maximum power might be able to hit the target, but it was only a possibility, and the accuracy would be too far off. The main reason was that the distance between the two ships was indeed too far.

The range of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder is large, but our warships must stop to avoid accidentally entering the attack area. If they stop and fail to attack, Shanks and his men will really be able to escape.

Palm thunder? Forget it. Shanks is not a little pirate. This kind of stupid attack without any calculation may not have any good effect.

"Alas~ It seems we can only rely on the boat's strength."
