The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

Chapter 152 Causes and consequences

When the decisive battle at sea began, the revolutionaries' hopes ultimately rested on the light fleet that launched the surprise attack. Taking advantage of the godsend opportunity when all the high-level combat forces of the naval fleet were tied up, and even the main forces inside were tied up on the island, the Red Flag Fleet launched a surprise attack that would decide the outcome.

The process of the raid was not much different from what everyone had planned before the war. The navy's large fleet did not take the approaching light warships of the Red Flag Fleet seriously. It was not until the Red Flag Fleet's warships were very close that the navy thought of firing artillery to block them.

However, although the navy only used a small part of its firepower to block the attack, it still posed a huge threat to the attacking Red Flag Fleet. Even the secondary guns of the navy warships were powerful enough to blow the attacking light ships to pieces with one shot.

The Red Flag Army, which was attacking, managed to break through to the best distance to launch torpedoes despite the close-range artillery fire from the navy. Even though their comrades died on the way to the charge, they did not hesitate. All the Red Flag Army soldiers held on to the last belief that their comrades' sacrifice must not be in vain.

Saturation torpedo attacks were quickly launched from the clippers. At such a short distance, even the simplest first-generation torpedoes had a great chance of hitting. During the launch, the attacking clippers formed a fan-shaped launch surface, which would maximize the chance of the torpedo hitting.

Under the expectant eyes of the Red Flag Army soldiers, the five-meter-long torpedo was launched and traveled underwater. Its concealment underwater caused the navy on the warship to not notice the arrival of the deadly weapon.

At this time, the navy soldiers on the warships were still focusing on the Red Flag Army's light fleet that was only a few hundred meters away from the navy warships. In addition to the main guns on the navy warships, other firepower points began to fiercely fire at these approaching small boats. At such a close distance, the explosion of fire when the warships' gunfire hit the small boats also made the marines excited.

Just as the naval soldier serving as an observer was still laughing at the approaching Red Flag Fleet, a sudden explosion finally interrupted his smile. When the explosion occurred, the expressions of all the naval officers on the entire warship froze, and then chaos quietly came.

It is worth noting that this is only the first batch of the Red Flag Fleet's raid. This time, the Red Flag Army deployed a large fleet carrying torpedoes, and their overall target was the entire Navy Demon Slayer Fleet. While attacking the first naval warship, several squadrons were already rushing towards several other naval warships.

When the torpedoes exploded and splashed high, other naval ships also discovered this grand attack. Originally, they didn't care about the fast-approaching light fleet, but when the naval ships hit by the torpedoes began to tilt, they finally panicked.

The clown who was overconfident in their eyes turned out to be the scythe of the Grim Reaper. All the navy ships started at full speed and the sails on the deck were pulled to the maximum. All the ships started to save themselves and try to escape the pursuit of the wolf pack at sea.

However, apart from these madly fleeing naval ships, the most panicked were the sailors on the naval ship that had been hit. When the huge power of the torpedoes shook the myth of the naval ships being invincible and unsinkable, all the naval forces' original confidence in their ships turned into their fear of the Red Flag Fleet.

To put it bluntly, this was the collapse of the morale of all the sailors on the entire warship. The navy that had just mocked the Red Flag Fleet no longer had the smile it had before. The ugliness of human nature began to appear without reservation on this warship that was about to sink.

At this critical moment, the true nature of the navy could no longer be hidden. The navy, as a reactionary army of the ruling class suppressing the working people, was finally exposed to the sun. The colleagues who had been talking about justice together the night before now began to fight over the location of the lifeboat on the warship.

At this time, several more torpedoes were fired, successfully hitting the navy ship that had almost lost power. This also made the chaos on the ship even more disorderly. The navy soldiers who originally wanted to stick to the bottom line could no longer care about anything else. In order to survive, all the navy finally began to resort to force.

Isn't this the most intrinsic embodiment of the order that the navy pursues? To put it bluntly, the navy is such an army where the upper echelons abuse force and madly exploit the lower echelons. The justice that the navy talks about is standing on the strongest side within the entire system, which is just a cover for this layer of exploitation.

The ugly behavior of the navy did not attract the attention of the Red Flag Fleet. After firing a few more torpedoes, the raiding fleet no longer cared about the ship that was bound to sink. The raiding fleet's goal was to destroy the ship, and as for the escaping navy soldiers, let them escape. If there were no large ships to carry them, their final outcome would be a slow death in the sea, relying only on lifeboats.

The squadron that was originally responsible for attacking the first naval ship, after completing the task of raiding the warship, also set its sights on several other naval warships. The raiding fleet had to hurry up, because when the first round of raids was successful, their surprise was also lost.

Afterwards, everyone knew that the Red Flag Army's fleet had weapons that could threaten the navy's warships. In this case, the navy's reinforcements could return at any time. What the raiding fleet had to do was to completely paralyze the navy's warships before the enemy's reinforcements returned.

This is indeed the case. With such a big commotion, the two vice admirals discovered the changes in the fleet at the first time.

Among the two vice admirals, Aokiji was not far away. After seeing the navy ship being sunk by the Red Flag Fleet, he immediately chose to return for help. Unfortunately, the cadres of the Revolutionary Party would not let him get away so easily.

After discovering that Aokiji intended to leave the battlefield, the revolutionaries suddenly stepped up their offensive. They had only one goal, which was to prevent the high-level forces of the navy from coming back to reinforce. If Aokiji wanted to reinforce the navy fleet, he could only crawl over their corpses.

In addition to Aokiji, Akainu was more shocked. He was the one who had the most confidence in the navy fleet. In Akainu's opinion, the navy's demon-killing fleet was definitely not something that the seemingly large-scale Red Flag Fleet could deal with. At this time, the sudden explosion of the navy warship was a sudden slap in the face of his arrogance.

"Did you see that? Vice Admiral Akainu, what seemed impossible was accomplished by our Red Flag Army soldiers. Even though the Navy had a huge advantage, it could not stop the faith of our comrades in the end. Admit it, Vice Admiral Akainu, you have witnessed a miracle called true justice, what else can you say to quibble?

Compared to the empty justice of the Navy, our Revolutionary Party is the most determined to walk on the side of the vast majority of the people. This is the reason why countless soldiers can unite and fight for victory. The soldiers all know why they are fighting, and this is the core of the Red Flag Army's victory!

Our cause is just, and no enemy can defeat a just cause. We have full confidence to overcome all the difficulties and hardships on the road. We are moving forward, and we are doing an extremely glorious and great cause that our predecessors have never done in the past 800 years.

Our goal must be achieved, and the people's goal must be achieved. "Maen's voice resounded through the sky. At this time, several more explosions were heard, and Akainu also looked at Maen, who had a serious face.

In the deafening words just now, he seemed to hear a new world created by the heavens and the earth. "In that case, let me see the new era too."
