Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 730 Smoker vs Hawkins (33)

New world, beyond the unknown seas.

"Boss Hawkins, a naval fleet has been spotted ahead!"

On the pirate ship with the Hundred Beasts Pirate Flag printed on it, a pirate suddenly ran over in panic and screamed.

"They've blocked the sea, we're surrounded!"

"Sure enough, it didn't escape their eyes...?"

Hearing this, Hawkins took a deep breath.

That’s not really surprising, is it?
Considering the current strength of the navy.

and so……

"Boys, get ready to fight!"

Hawkins turned around, waved his sleeves, and walked out of the cabin expressionlessly.

A few hundred meters in front of the pirate ship, Smoker stood at the bow with two cigars in his mouth.

Smoker sneered as he watched several pirate ships gradually spread out their formations and push their cannons out of the ship.

"Interesting?! Still want to fight back? Basil Hawkins!"

"Everyone can talk big, Lieutenant General Smoker."

Hawkins, also standing at the bow, was not afraid of the navy, which was several times larger than his own army. He said loudly: "Don't you think your navy is stretching its hand too far?"

"Wano Country is not an affiliated country. Those guys are the prisoners that Lord Kaido specifically requested. It is you who are actively provoking the war!"

"Oh? So what you mean is that as long as they are not members of the alliance, our navy is not allowed to even uphold justice?"

"Then there's nothing to talk about!"

Suddenly, Smoker shouted angrily: "Go to hell and repent for your sins, pirates!"

"fire!!!"

"No! This guy isn't even ready to have a good chat!"

Hawkins was startled.

Smoker's decisiveness was truly unexpected.

He was deliberately delaying to buy time for the entire ship to reload!
but……

"I'm just stalling for time too!"

The appearance of subduing demons!

Swish!
Suddenly, cracks appeared on Hawkins' body, and human flesh, skin, and bones were quickly replaced by straw-like objects. His entire body doubled in size and turned into a huge straw monster.

"You won't be able to kill me in such a short time, Lieutenant General Smoker. Next... the Scarecrow card!"

crunch...

The straw that emerged from his back grew and extended rapidly, weaving above his body to form a giant humanoid straw spirit, with five black five-inch nails on its fingers, emitting a chilling aura.

Smoker frowned slightly, he had heard of Basil Hawkins' abilities, but he had no information about this scene.

"Come and try out the new moves I developed, Vice Admiral Smoker!"

As Hawkins spoke, the humanoid straw spirit reached out and pulled out a tarot card from a pile of tarot cards.

He looked at it and grinned.

"I didn't expect the first one would be this. Fate really favors me!"

"Appear, Hermit!"

"what is that?"

Smoker noticed that after he drew a tarot card, the humanoid straw spirit behind him suddenly began to deform. Its flamboyant hair was gathered up, and its figure became slimmer and shorter. The dense straw formed a hood on its back, covering its creepy face.

then……

There's no after that.

"Hmph, playing tricks!" Smoker sneered as he blew out a smoke ring.

Boom...boom! !
The shells fired didn't care what Hawkins did. One shell after another landed on the pirate ship, blowing them upside down. Fire filled the sky and screams were heard everywhere.

"Keep reloading. This position is beyond the range of their artillery. Destroy them directly!"

Rushing forward all at once even though they have the advantage in range is not the navy's current fighting style. The pirates in the New World are all very tricky, and Smoker has suffered enough already.

However, at this moment, a cannonball suddenly hit the main ship where he was.

In response, Smoker glared, turned around, and attacked with a white fist, blasting the shell into pieces in mid-air.

boom! ! !
The impact of the explosion caused the warship to shake. Smoker glared at them and roared, "Who fired the cannon? Are you planning a rebellion?!"

"wrong!"

Suddenly, Coby's face became serious and he shouted loudly: "Lieutenant General Smoker, quickly give the order to stop the shelling!!"

"why?"

Smoker turned around and looked at Kirby in confusion, and asked, "What's wrong, Captain Kirby?"

"The soldiers' eyes were confused, they had no idea which direction they were firing!"

"What?!!"

Smoker was shocked. Hearing this, he decisively looked into the distance. As expected, the attack he encountered was not an isolated case.

There were people on every warship firing randomly. Even though the enemy was clearly in the center of the encirclement, they looked solemn and lit the fuse at the friendly forces next to them.

And that's not all!
The soldiers standing on the deck, ready for hand-to-hand combat at any time, had a crooked formation. You looked to the east and I looked to the west, as if there were enemies on both sides, and their expressions were solemn.

If the soldiers weren't so good at acting and pretending to be blind, there is only one answer!
"It's his fruit ability! Everyone, stop the shelling!"

Seeing this scene, Smoker made a judgment immediately.

Although the soldiers were confused, they chose to obey orders and stopped the shelling.

But this round of flying shells directly caused three warships to sink into the sea. They were all hit by friendly shells and blown to pieces.

"We have to be careful too, Vice Admiral Smoker!"

At this time, Coby continued: "Close your eyes and use your observation and hearing color to perceive. I am behind you!"

"!!!"

Smoker looked at Coby who was standing in front of him with an anxious look on his face. His pupils suddenly dilated, and then he closed his eyes and opened his observation Haki.

really!

The Kerby in front of him didn't reveal any aura at all. The real Kerby was standing behind him!

What's even more terrifying is that after he blasted the shell down, he was not facing Hawkins at all, but facing the guardrail, standing sideways.

Ahead, there was only an empty ocean, no trace of the pirate ship.

"This ability... is it the work of that scarecrow Chu Ling?!"

Because what they saw was so real, they didn't even realize that their eyes were deceived.

“Oh, that’s right!”

In response to this, Hawkins, who was transformed into a demon-slayer on the pirate ship, said calmly: "You don't really think that the Scarecrow Fruit is just a simple straw physique?"

"It is the host of the soul, but it appears in the form of a scarecrow. What it actually possesses is the ability to curse!"

"This is a move developed from my Straw Fruit. It releases different curses by drawing cards! You are lucky. The Hermit Card is a kind of support card. It is not lethal. It can only blind the enemy's eyes and make everything upside down and chaotic."

"For guys like you who possess Observation Haki, the effect is really limited. It's very easy to break it, but guys like you...how many are there in the entire fleet?"

Hearing this, Smoker took a breath.

"Oh no, he's about to attack!"

Just now, their side had the advantage in numbers and firepower, but now what the soldiers saw was not real, which was equivalent to being blind. The advantage in numbers and firepower suddenly became Hawkins' side!
