In an instant, nearly a hundred dazzling lightning bolts fell from the sky, accurately striking the super fleet scattered on the sea. Faced with thunder with a diameter of two meters, almost no one could stop it.
If it was made of wood, it would be okay, as some people would be able to escape if they were lucky. But if it hit an ironclad ship, everyone on the ship would die instantly.
"..Uh..We must..immediately..report the information here to the headquarters!!"
Maric endured the paralysis of the electric current and trembled to the room where the Den Den Mushi was stored. Because the communication device had biological characteristics, it was safely protected and was not killed by the strong electric current.
But just as he picked up the Den Den Mushi, the light outside the window suddenly lit up, making him close his eyes involuntarily, and the huge explosion was deafening.
When he came to his senses, all the warships he saw were blown into pieces by the previous streak of light.
"...Hey...Marshal Sengoku...We lost. We are very sorry...In addition to the captain of the Sun God Pirates, the enemy also has an unknown entity hiding in the sky, and can control thunder and lightning."
"...The fleet...was completely destroyed."
Maric hung up the phone helplessly. Looking at the ships of all sizes being destroyed one after another, he felt that he was powerless to retreat as Marshal Zhan Guo had asked him to.
Just as he was about to launch a suicide charge into the sky, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a golden light penetrated the flagship's armor and appeared directly in front of Maric.
"Tsk tsk... Lieutenant General Maric, now is not the time for you to sacrifice yourself. For now, please follow me and retreat."
This operation was a huge failure. No matter in terms of intelligence or combat power gap, it could not change the result of defeat. Now we can only save as many as we can, and at the very least, we have to get the big ones out first.
"Alas, the rest of us can only pray for the best."
After thinking about it, regardless of the other party's desire to die, he used light to transform into a rope to tie him up and rushed out of the 100-meter-long flagship.
"boom!"
Just as he walked, an electromagnetic cannon shell broke him into two pieces. Kizaru frowned and wondered if he could withstand this terrible blow.
At this time, Garuda, who had already destroyed the fleet, saw a golden light saving people, and immediately realized that the other party was an enemy rather than a friend, and then locked him with his observation color.
"God's Judgment!"
The dazzling blue-white light came with a roar, and under her control, it struck the golden flash. However, when the speed of the lightning and the golden light was almost the same, she did not have much advantage.
Even if he has locked onto the opponent, Garuda can only rely on prediction to attack, and instantly, "thunder" falls like rain.
Let Kizaru, who was leading the people to escape below, experience what saturation bombing is.
".....So the target is the group of people on the beach. This won't do. We must keep them for my husband."
While thinking, Garuda lowered Raikage because this would allow her to better aim at the fleeing lieutenant admirals. However, this action also allowed Kizaru to discover her location.
And because it was the first time Garuda encountered the general and was not sure of his strength, he was indeed a little careless.
"Ten-finger light gun!"
"Eight-foot beautiful magatama!"
Things are changing. The reversed golden beams of light and balls of light faced the forked lightning and drilled into the thunder in even denser numbers, bombarding Garuda including the Golden Ark.
Although the Thunder Fruit's attacking power was among the best, its defense was indeed a bit weak. Originally, she could just dodge it by herself...but there was the Golden Ark behind her.
"...What are you thinking about? It's just a broken ship! How can it be as important as you!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Garuda subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw her husband's back in front of her, easily blocking the rain of light.
"Please... don't do this next time. It's just a personal possession."
He stroked his wife's hair. Although the situation just now was not even dangerous, for some reason, the anger in his heart kept accumulating in his heart like a raging volcano.
If a husband's pregnant wife is bullied, he will be furious, let alone someone who has the power to destroy a country.
"Let's go down first. You are not allowed to participate in the battle before the baby is born. The Thunder Fruit is mainly for you to save your life. As for those subordinates, you can recruit them later. There is no need for you to risk your life."
"...All right."
Garuda looked uneasy, for she knew she was in the wrong, and she couldn't bear to see her husband's men being slaughtered by the enemy.
The scene changed, and dark waves rose and fell. On a piece of white ice, there lay a ragged figure, drifting with the waves.
This person was Qingzhi who was affected by the explosion. He was extremely unlucky. Unlike Kizaru who could move freely in the air, when the explosion occurred, the only way he could protect himself was to wrap his body with solid ice.
He persisted until the terrifying high temperature dissipated, and then Qing Zhi was blown away by the shock wave.
Although his physical strength was about to be exhausted, he used his remaining strength to successfully create a place to stay before losing consciousness, thus avoiding falling into the sea and drowning.
Perhaps it was his destiny, as Qingzhi's direction of flight happened to be the same as the fleet's reconnaissance ship, so he was rescued by a passing navy ship and finally met the vice admiral rescued by Kizaru.
"Master Kizaru, should we go to Judicial Island to take shelter? There are enough defenses and supplies there. Master Aokiji also needs emergency treatment."
Now there are only two small boats left in the huge fleet, drifting on the sea like lost lambs, weak, helpless and pitiful.
"No, no, no..., you don't understand how terrifying that guy is. Judicial Island is too close to the Seven Waters. I'm afraid that I'll be slaughtered by him."
Two generals led their teams, one was injured and the other fled, and the fleet comparable to the Demon-Slaying Order was completely wiped out. This was probably the first time in the history of the navy that it suffered such a great defeat.
"Let's go back to the headquarters. Where is the Den Den Mushi? I'll report the results of this battle to Sengoku."
.........
Chapter 265: He who knows the current affairs is a hero
The reconnaissance ship crossed the Judicial Island under Kizaru's order. Perhaps he had never thought that the previous attack on someone in the clouds would cause how much trouble to the surrounding naval forces.
As time passed, after a night of fierce fighting, the navy was wiped out with a fleet of thirty ironclad gunboats, including fifty auxiliary ships.
Along with the landing force, 3,000 men were killed (mostly those on board the ships), and 1,200 were captured, all of whom were being guarded by the Hoang Sa soldiers.
They suffered sixty casualties. You should know that the entire Sun Pirates, including the chef, has less than 90 people.
"Captain! You're back."
"...Did we win?"
"....Finally I met the Captain!"
Looking at the groups of crew members supporting each other, the rage surging in his heart made the golden and red color in his pupils flicker, although these scum were a bit scum.
But in the previous bloody battle, there was not a single deserter, and everyone fought to death. Maybe they were not good people to ordinary people, but at least they were worthy of the captain.
"Jack Sparrow! Select some crew members according to the old rules. I think these prisoners are good."
Chen Tianqiao, with red eyes, whispered to the first mate. Even though his tone was calm, the huge pressure between the lines still made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"...Leave half. We need more people for our new ship."
"Yes.."
After finishing his chores, Chen Tianqiao jumped onto the Ark, hugged Garuda, and said softly, "I'm going to do something. I'll be back in ten minutes."
"Well, ... please be safe, husband."
Garuda didn't ask what they were going to do. She knew that her husband was very angry because of the navy's surprise attack. If he didn't vent it, there was no telling what would happen in the future.
Standing at the bow and watching his figure disappear into the distance, Garuda then turned her head towards the prisoners' camp. With her Observation Haki, she discovered that someone was inciting the sailors to start a riot.
"Brothers! I just found out what those pirates are going to do to us! They want us to kill each other!"
Colonel Wallis, as the highest-ranking officer among the prisoners, would never surrender to the bandits because his entire family was in the holy land of Marijoa.
"Yes, yes... yes..., those shameless pirates are still talking about surrendering and leaving only half of their people! Anyway, I will never attack my own comrades!"
A certain officer who had colluded with the colonel immediately acted as a gen for the colonel among the confused prisoners, and the effect was very obvious.
Led by some officers loyal to the World Government, they began to coerce most of the sailors.
"I just saw that terrible captain leave! Time is running out! Brothers, fight your way out with me!"
Perhaps this sentence was the last straw that broke the camel's back. More than 1,200 people suddenly attacked the Sand Soldiers' defense line.
"Humph! My husband just left... and they think they are good enough again?"
When my husband was here, these captives didn't dare to say a word, but as soon as he left, they started rioting.
"Thunder!"
With a crackling sound, the blinding white lightning occupied everyone's vision. The huge roar made the heads of those who were nearby buzz. They were either unable to stand steadily or were forced to lie on the ground.
By the time the captives came to their senses, the leaders had already turned into charcoal and fell straight to the ground.
It has to be said that the combination of Observation Haki and Thunder Fruit makes the lightning seem like it has a precision guide, striking wherever it is pointed.
"I was so scared! I thought the captain's instructions were going to fail! ..... Thank you, mistress, for your blessing!"
Sparrow bowed respectfully to the figure on the Ark from a distance, and then eight "ball lightning" the size of door cabinets helped him to circle the remaining people.
"I won't say any more nonsense. To join the Sun God Pirates, you need a pledge of allegiance. You have no other choice!"
Sparrow, standing on the scorpion's head, used his domineering power to transmit the sound to everyone's ears, but before they could think about it for a moment.
"If you don't make a choice in ten seconds, I will forcibly kill half of your number!"
Then he turned around, smiling broadly, and said to the person behind him in a flattering manner: "...Captain Wu Ma, I'll leave it to you."
"...Well, you're welcome, First Officer."
Everyone carried the fancy sedan, and as the first mate, he had to be so humble, so he couldn't offend others. After all, they were all working for the God.
With a wave of his hand, the heavy infantry dispersed, including rows of crossbowmen and siege crossbows, who all pointed their weapons at the prisoners in the circle.
"Don't even think about it! I won't attack my companions!!"
It seems that the second lieutenant who had previously served as the colonel's supporting actor was too cautious and hid in the crowd after showing his face. During the charge, he escaped because he hid at the back.
Sparrow frowned. He didn't expect that someone would be so ungrateful! Just as he was about to let the crossbowmen start killing, a scream threw the navy into chaos.
"Second Lieutenant! Why!...Aren't we brothers in arms?!"
"..traitor!"
".....Let's kill him first!!"
However, he still used the dagger hidden in his pocket to slash the throat of the man in front of him, and then ran to the feet of the lion scorpion and prostrated himself to express his submission.
"Hey! You're a wonderful person. Get up... I'll give you the pass."
They are recruiting for a pirate group, not the Paladins, so moral character is secondary, and what they value is behavior.
"Thank you, first mate! Thank you, first mate!"
He quickly got up from the ground, tore off the navy logo on his clothes in front of everyone, and shouted to his former compatriots.
"Lord Sparrow said that a man who knows the current situation is a hero. I would like to advise you not to be ungrateful. How much money do you get for being a navy soldier a month? Is it necessary to work so hard for it?"
The upper echelons were all killed, the middle echelons rebelled, and the ordinary soldiers at the lower echelons were left with only survival. Then the loyalists who were unwilling to go along with the crowd were quickly massacred.
The remaining captives, after each of them handed in a letter of surrender, eventually numbered around 600.
"Very good! From now on you are members of the Sun God Pirates and will no longer have any relationship with the Navy!" After saying that, Sparrow asked someone to bring money and buy all the wine in the city.
He also announced that new members would be joining tonight and asked everyone to drink to their heart's content, so that they could numb themselves with alcohol. After all, learning is difficult, but depravity is even easier.
The scene changed, and above the vast ocean, a figure emitting terrifying pressure was flying rapidly under the cover of night.
In a short while, the people followed the sea railway and found the legendary Judicial Island.
"Hey~... This is a really nice place, but it's a pity... it's going to be destroyed soon."
At this moment, the naval personnel stationed on the Judicial Island would probably never have imagined that the day would come when they would become the admiral's scapegoat.

Chapter 266 Judicial Island
"Guixu" is a giant hole that seems to be so huge that even the sea can never fill it, and the rumored Judicial Island is built on Guixu.
The outer layer is surrounded by a circle of iron fences. The entire island can be divided into four parts, namely the front island (the first main gate), the main island, the Tower of Justice and the Bridge of Hesitation, as well as the Gate of Justice located behind the island.
It looks like a fortress built on a large hole. Because it is connected to the center of the World Government, there are a large number of troops on the island.
The number of World Government officials, including naval officials, stationed there all year round remains stable at around 1.
"Brother, it's almost dawn, can you please let me sleep for a while? I'll keep watch for you next time."
In a sentry post that can be seen everywhere, two sailors with guns were scanning left and right with a high-probability searchlight. Normally, they had it pretty easy, but who could blame them for having a few CP9 transferred over from the Water City?
"Brother, I don't want to either! Those direct agents are too dedicated. If we are caught slacking off, we will be in big trouble."
