One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

In the next few days, Colonel Mark gradually began to take over the affairs of the base.

Major General Wright personally led the selected 300 recruits and 1,700 veterans to conduct targeted training.

For example, we tell them the structure of warships and common pirate ships in the New World based on the blueprints, and teach them to practice basic navigation skills such as sailing, reading maps, judging wind direction, lookout, steering, dropping anchor, and turning.

At the same time, the soldiers' ability to use firearms was strengthened. During this period, Major General Wright did not emphasize the practice of cold weapons because that was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

On the contrary, firearms are simple to operate in the early stages, easy to learn and master.

Although there seem to be very few people using guns in the world of One Piece, and the soldiers' guns and cannons don't seem to have much effect.

However, this is because the perspective is focused on the strong. Generally speaking, the cold gun of the strong who have armament color and observation color is basically useless. You can only use large-area bullet blockade and kill after exhausting the opponent's armament color.

But firearms at least give the weak a certain degree of possibility to fight against the strong. Of course, when it comes to the level of general emperor, it is a different matter.

The important reason why top-level warriors use firearms is that they can wrap the armament Haki around the bullets, which is an incredible skill. At the same time, the ultra-large-range observation Haki also gives them the title of invisible death god.

Even so, the number of people who die from guns every year in the pirate world is far greater than the total number of people who die from cold weapons or even various strange abilities.

Carsent and Sakaski were completely free-range and had no special guidance.

Carsent has recently developed a new method of physical training, which is to dive into the sea thousands of feet deep and use the pressure of the sea to train the body.

This kind of training has an all-round effect, both internally and externally, and is very suitable for Carson to improve his physical defense and control at the moment.

Sakaski sailed to a nearby active volcanic archipelago to observe the volcanic eruption up close and increase his understanding of the fruit's abilities.

To put it simply, everyone is trying their best to make progress, striving to have a better chance of survival or shining in the next battle.

The entire base was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere and entered a state of combat readiness.

Three days later, in the morning, Major General Wright gave his last mobilization speech on the playground:

"My fellow warriors, we are about to go out to fight. Perhaps this is your first battle, or perhaps you have been on the battlefield for many years."

"We went to war without hesitation to protect the people from being slaughtered and plundered by pirates."

"In this battle, we will be injured, and even completely trapped in that sea area, but if you look back at the people we are protecting, you will know that all the sacrifices are worth it."

"I now order you to board the designated warships in accordance with yesterday's exercise arrangements and set out in one hour."

As the highest order was issued, the captains of each team conveyed specific instructions and arrangements one by one. For a moment, the playground where thousands of people gathered was chaotic but orderly.

The soldiers took out their guns and sabers from the armory one by one, put their guns on their backs after a test firing, and lined up neatly to board the warship.

At the port, six huge warships have been lined up in order. They are all the navy’s most elite combat ships and steel behemoths on the sea.

At the same time, waves began to rise on the sea in the distance, and Carsent walked towards the waves with a leisurely pace.

Looking back at the sky, a scarlet meteor slid across the sky and fell on the land nearby, stirring up layers of smoke and dust. Sakaski was in place.

As the lookout climbed up the watchtower and the sailors raised the anchor and set sail, the grand expedition began.

Looking at the endless sea in front of him, Carson was in a very calm mood. After all, he had seen this scene more than once or twice. If he got too excited, it would seem like he was very ignorant.

However, when I turned around, I saw a group of marines led by Sakaski looking at the huge cannon in front of the warship, clenching their fists excitedly.

Carson knew that, as expected, heavy artillery is a man’s true love…

In terms of overall distribution, Carsent and Sakaski followed Rear Admiral Wright on the front battleship.

According to the arrangement, if everything goes well, this is the only warship that needs to engage in boarding battle with the pirates.

As we waited for everything to be ready, the time estimated by the Navy Headquarters was getting closer and closer.

"Enemy spotted. Repeat. Enemy spotted!"

Suddenly, the lookout "high above" gave a loud shout, and then the lookouts on each warship spotted the target in turn.

With each shout, the navy, which had been somewhat lax due to boredom during the voyage, instantly perked up, tightly gripped their guns, and assumed a fighting stance.

"Gunners, get ready!"

Major General Wright gave the orders in an orderly manner.

Upon hearing the order, the gunners picked up the shells and came to the front of the cannon, with lit torches beside them, ready to take orders at any time.

Seeing this scene, Carsent suddenly thought that if the navy hero Garp was here, then probably there wouldn't be so much trouble.

That was the "Bone Fist - Meteor". A man who could throw shells with his bare hands was truly terrifying.

Gradually, the black dot in the distance grew larger and larger until the outline of the pirate ship could be clearly seen.

And the pirate flag flying high on the pirate ship: a huge skull with two wolf fangs exposed and a pair of sharp claws crossed in front - it is the flag of the Black Wolf Pirates.

"The enemy has entered the firing range. Repeat, the enemy has entered the firing range."

"Fire!"

Following the order, the well-trained gunner stuffed the shell into the barrel, carefully adjusted the angle and lit the fuse.

For a moment, deafening roars emanated from the six warships one after another, and numerous shells drew an arc-shaped trajectory in the air and shot towards the target ahead.

Facing the artillery shells attacking from the air, the Black Wolf Pirates' main ship launched a series of slashing attacks, detonating the artillery shells that might threaten them.

Wherever the sword light passed, shells exploded on the spot, and for a moment the air was filled with flames produced by the exploding shells.

"puff"

The remaining shells fell into the water one after another, and the bombs detonated in the water splashed up twenty-meter-high water columns. For a moment, the water surface around the Black Wolf Pirates' battleship was constantly undulating and flames were flickering.

"Hit..." With a cheer, a pirate ship on the far left side of the opposite side was hit by a cannonball because of its untimely defense. With a violent explosion, the wooden structure of the pirate ship disintegrated on the spot, and blood-red sea water gradually spread.

The wails and screams were drowned out by the rolling waves.

"Good job!" Major General Wright shouted.
