Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

Kollridge Roy, hiding behind the boulder, originally planned to have his men fire first to wear down the navy.

However, he did not expect the navy's attack to be so fierce.

A hail of bullets rained down, forcefully pinning all the pirates behind the boulder.

No pirate dared to risk their lives by sticking their heads out to shoot at the Navy.

While on the ship, the flying squirrel already had a general idea of ​​the pirates' location.

His extensive combat experience enabled him to make the right response immediately, nipping the pirates' counterattack in the bud.

Rows of naval personnel lined up in neat rows, firing, retreating, reloading, and advancing.

This was a tactic proposed by Raleigh.

The tactics from Earth, hailed as the most remarkable tactics in European military history, are the line infantry tactics that prevailed for hundreds of years during the flintlock era.

On the battlefield at that time, two opposing, neatly arranged square formations moved into firing range and began exchanging fire until one side defeated the other and the fighting ceased.

Because this tactic looks simple, even rigid, it has been jokingly called the "line-up for execution" tactic by netizens.

This tactic is considered the pinnacle of the flintlock era, as it greatly compensates for the slow rate of fire and lack of accuracy of flintlocks.

The only drawback is that it requires soldiers who are not afraid to die. Everyone must obey the officer's orders before firing, and they cannot help their comrades who have fallen.

On Raleigh's ship, what he had in abundance was fearless soldiers.

Their hatred for pirates far outweighed their fear of death; they were willing to do anything to kill pirates.

Using this tactic, they quickly wiped out several major pirate crews that had previously dominated the East China Sea.

Not long ago, on a deserted island, they intercepted more than 300 pirates from the Giant Axe Pirates.

At that time, when faced with such a large pirate crew charging, even Momonga thought the only option was to call for reinforcements.

Raleigh insisted that the flying squirrel use this tactic.

More than 300 pirates had already inflicted unparalleled damage with this tactic before they even reached the Navy.

More than a hundred pirates were killed or wounded on the spot, which caused the Giant Axe Pirates to lose their will to fight back.

In the ensuing rout and pursuit, Momonga and his Marines easily wiped out all the members of the Giant Axe Pirates.

However, the naval soldiers were unaware that this tactic was proposed by Raleigh.

They all thought it was thanks to Major Flying Squirrel, and treated him like a god.

Back home, the flying squirrel also highly praised this tactic, and he admired Raleigh, who proposed it, to the point of complete awe.

Raleigh didn't take it to heart. After all, this tactic had undergone various tests during the European flintlock era and had finally been perfected into the tactic most suitable for flintlocks.

It's a game of overwhelming force against ordinary pirates.

In the world of One Piece, firearms are still mainly flintlock pistols. Although some technologies are so advanced that they seem out of date, the firearms themselves are still quite rudimentary.

Raleigh had no time to study such a distorted world; he felt he wasn't getting enough sleep every day.

He shared similar thoughts with his good friend Borsalino: being in the navy was just a job; going to work was just work, and glory and such were irrelevant to him.

"Damn the navy, you just wait!!"

"Naval scum!!"

"Men, get your fighting spirit in and kill these navy scum!!!"

"Kill one naval scumbag and receive a woman as a reward; kill three naval scumbags and be promoted to officer."

"I'm furious," Korridge Roy roared.

After five volleys of fire, several of the defiant pirates had already died.

The navy was now less than 30 meters from the rocks where the pirates were hiding.

At this distance, the flintlock musket is actually much less effective.

They all put down their flintlock pistols and drew their gleaming sabers from their waists.

The flying squirrel took the lead, drew his saber, and shouted:

"Ready for melee combat!!!"

Noticing that the sound of the navy's gunfire was gradually decreasing, Fog Wolf Corridge Roy cautiously peeked out from behind the boulder.

When he saw the naval soldiers already surging forward like a tide, an enraged Kollridge Roy roared:

"Men, the navy is coming! Kill them all!"

Having said that, he grabbed a giant machete and charged out.

Seeing their captain so brave, the pirates around him also took out their weapons and rushed out with him.

"kill!!!"

"Charge! Kill all these government lackeys, and we can survive."

"Follow in the captain's footsteps!"

Unlike the pirates, the charging marines didn't utter any grand pronouncements.

Their indifferent expressions only showed their disgust for the pirates.

The two forces clashed without reservation, and in an instant, the pungent smell of blood filled the space.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The sounds of clashing swords rang out continuously, accompanied by the sounds of swords piercing bodies and the cries of the fallen pirates.

In just a short while, the group of pirates had been overwhelmed and their formation was broken.

Kollridge Roy, who was originally at the forefront of the charge, looked around and realized that almost all of his men were dead.

He roared in anger:

"A bunch of useless trash, let's fight the Navy!"

"The Navy will never let us get away with this!!!"

The pirates, who were originally in terrible shape due to the impact, suddenly unleashed their full power under the threat of death, and managed to temporarily stop the Navy's slaughter.

"Kill them!"

"Follow the captain and kill all these despicable navy scum!"

Seeing the pirates who had gone mad, Momonga swiftly dispatched one of them who was blocking his path and shouted:

"A three-on-three encirclement tactic!"

This tactic was also taught to the flying squirrel by Raleigh. The principle is that in close combat, the original one-on-one duel tactic becomes a naval gang-up tactic.

The navy's greatest advantage is its large numbers and discipline, while pirates are fearless.

However, the pirates' fearlessness has not caused any trouble for the Navy. On the contrary, the Navy's tactics are constantly slaughtering the pirates in front of them.

The flying squirrel had also long been eyeing Coleridge Roy, who was carrying a giant machete in the crowd.

After exchanging a glance, the two simultaneously accelerated towards each other.

Kollridge Roy realized that as long as he captured the enemy commander, the battle would be won.

Meanwhile, the flying squirrel found its nemesis: Coleridge Roy, who called himself the captain.

The two swords clashed immediately, sparks flying.

Kollridge Roy said with a sinister grin:

"Damn the navy, he's just a naval lieutenant commander, yet he has such strength. That's amazing."

"It's a pity that a young naval officer like you is destined to die by my hand."

The flying squirrel ignored him and, like a cold killing machine, repeatedly slashed at Kollridge Roy with its knife.

Without their captain's command, the pirates were now like headless flies.

With the navy's high morale and skillful tactics, they were powerless to retaliate.

One by one, they were killed on this beach, some with their limbs severed, barely clinging to life on the ground.

The beach, stained red with blood, is home to ruthless killing machines.

A sense of despair gradually surfaced in the minds of the pirates.

"I surrender...I surrender!"

"I was wrong, my lord, please spare me!"

"Sir, I have a seven-year-old son at home. Could you please spare me?"

Faced with such a brutal navy, the former pirates could no longer suppress their fear.

Realizing that he could neither defeat nor escape, he could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

However, the naval soldiers did not react.

After all, they had encountered all sorts of pleas for mercy during their pursuit of the pirates, but Major Momonga never took prisoners, so they pretended not to hear them.
