Pirates: I built a super navy city

Ten days later.

A shabby pirate ship has arrived less than ten nautical miles from Rhodes Island.

Even after climbing to the observation deck on the towering mast, the coast of Rhodes Island can be seen.

"Boss, this is Rhodes Island!"

"Very good, let the brothers get ready, and we will sneak over at night!"

"Understood!"

------

In Luo Lan's office.

"So, this guy arrived two days earlier than Ace, and is waiting for a sneak attack at night?"

"Yes, that's how we analyzed it!"

Ian nodded.

Rhodes Island is Luo Lan's base camp, so how could there be no surveillance around it?

In fact, Dolly was discovered when he was more than 30 nautical miles away from Rhodes Island.

How was it discovered?

Don't forget that the 157th branch has an 800-meter-class underwater prison, which is located outside Rhodes Island, more than 600 meters deep.

Submarines...

Naturally, they are also supporting facilities of this prison.

Otherwise, how to send the prisoners down?

When there is no transportation mission, the two submarines are used for patrolling the surrounding area.

Even now, there is a submarine just a few hundred meters away from them, but Dolly knows nothing about it.

"Well, your analysis should be correct. It seems that Dolly has also made efforts to know the situation of our 157th branch, but..."

"The information he knows seems to be a little outdated..."

"Let them go up at night, and we will conduct a comprehensive combat test of the new rifles!"

Luo Lan stood up and waved his hand.

"Yes, Colonel!"

Soon, the whole branch began to get busy.

After receiving combat ammunition, teams of marines, led by their respective captains, entered the woods one after another.

At this moment, it is still...

less than two hours before dark!

------

More than two hours have passed in the blink of an eye.

Taking advantage of the night, a pirate ship is heading towards Rhodes Island.

Finally...

Anchored only a hundred meters from the coast.

Afterwards, a small boat carrying several pirates quickly rowed to the shore.

The leader was the little pirate who was born on a small island in the desolate sea and suggested that Dolly come here.

"The building in front should be the so-called Navy Branch 157, right?"

As soon as they landed, the three of them saw the dilapidated two-story building.

After all, it was not far from the coast.

"Let's go, don't make any noise, follow me!"

The little pirate waved his hand, and the other two followed quietly, fearing that the noise would alarm the marines. "

However, two minutes later, the three of them were dumbfounded.

This house...

Has it not been repaired for many years?

After checking it once, they found no one, or any signs of people living here recently, so the three of them quickly retreated.

They were afraid that the house would collapse in the next second due to disrepair.

"It seems that this naval branch has now been completely abolished!"

"Let's go back and inform the boss that we can come up with confidence!"

The little pirate waved his hand again, and the three of them ran quickly to the shore.

Little did they know...

On a tree not far away, two people were watching their every move.

"Colonel, they should have gone back to inform Dolly to come ashore, but it seems that they didn't notice anything."

"Let everyone get ready, and start immediately after confirming the devil fruit!"

"Understood! "

------

After a while.

Several small boats have come and gone several times, bringing batches of pirates and a large amount of supplies to the shore.

On the shore of Rhodes Island, there are 77 figures standing behind Dolly.

In fact, Dolly's second team originally had more than 100 people, but they were chased and killed by Klick twice some time ago, and many people died under the bombardment.

That's why there are only so few people left.

But even so, compared with ordinary pirate groups in the East China Sea, this is already a very large size.

Soon, Dolly began to lead all people, carrying a large amount of supplies to the island.

However, there was a small box, which he always held in his hand.

Looking at the size and Dolly's cautiousness, if nothing unexpected happened, it should be the natural Flame-Flame Fruit.

When they arrived outside the building of the old 157th branch, Dolly also asked people to start building a temporary camp.

And he himself...

was sitting on a stone nearby and opened the small box.

Sure enough...

There was a devil fruit inside, and its skin was like a ball of flames. What else could it be but the Flame-Flame Fruit?

DollyDolly's knowledge of the Devil Fruit was only through some rumors.

For example, the secret treasure of the sea, or the devil living in the fruit, etc.

Although no matter what kind of rumors, they all say that the Devil Fruit needs to be eaten.

But without a safe environment, he really doesn't dare to try it directly.

Picking up the Flame-Flame Fruit, Dolly fell into deep thought again...

Should I eat it, or not?

If I eat it, if something goes wrong, will my subordinates really be fine?

But if I don't eat it, won't I always get power?

Thinking left and right, I still can't make a decision.

(Ace: I guess you must have hesitated for at least two days and didn't eat it, otherwise, how could it be my turn in the original book?)

And at this moment...

Bang!

A low gunshot cut through the night sky.

Followed by a scream.

"Ah! My hand, my hand..."

The pirates who were setting up the camp just realized that...

The right hand of their boss was broken, and the palm fell to the ground, and the devil fruit...

also rolled to the ground.

Before they could come to their senses, a series of gunshots rang out again.

One by one, the pirates fell down in the open space without any cover, like naked targets.

When the gunshots stopped, at a glance, at least 30 pirates fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned.

But after all, they were all on the edge of a knife every day, and soon someone reacted.

"They are in the woods, hurry up, rush up while they are reloading!"

"Ahhh!"

It takes at least half a minute to reload after firing a shot, and that is the speed of a skilled shooter. If you are not skilled, it is not uncommon to take a minute.

Isn't this common sense?

Although it was only half a minute, it was not difficult for the people in the pirate world to rush into the woods a few hundred meters away.

After hearing his shout, the others also rushed up one by one.

But who could have thought that it would only take about three seconds.

The sound of gunfire...

resonated again.

------

"Damn..."

"Damn!!!"

He didn't care about his right hand that was bleeding wildly.

Dolly got up, took two steps forward, and then stretched out his left hand.

He was going to pick up the devil fruit on the ground and eat it in one bite.

There was no time to hesitate, life or death...

It all depended on this moment!

However, before his left hand touched the Flame-Flame Fruit, another gunshot rang out.

Bang! !

The next second, his left wrist was also broken.

He turned around and saw Luo Lan holding a black pistol in his left hand, standing not far from him.

Behind Luo Lan, there were many pirates who fell on the way.

No one was alive!

Dolly held back the movement of his hands and rushed directly to the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Without hands, I still have a mouth!

He opened his mouth wide, ready to eat the devil fruit in one bite.

But, he was too naive...

Bang!!!

As the low gunshot sounded again, the whole island...

became quiet.
