I, Laffey, am a good ship girl!

but.

Ayanami glanced at Rafi, who was lying next to her under a parasol, sleeping soundly with a cartoon eye mask on, and didn't take the visitor seriously at all.

And next to Lafite, although she has restrained some of her aura, the blonde beauty will still scare most of the timid destroyer girls into tears.

There was a carefree look in her burgundy eyes, her short golden hair sparkled in the sun, and her black gem-like bikini could barely cover her curvy and perfect body.

The ship girl born in the mirror sea, Prince of Wales.

In addition, there is Solomon's god of war Raffi, a destroyer girl who came from nowhere but showed overwhelming power over the Sirens as soon as she appeared.

With these two strongest ship girls in the world here, even the Siren's combined fleet would not dare to attack here easily.

Although Ayanami didn't know why those foreign ship girls made provocative gestures, she didn't think there was anything wrong no matter how she thought about it.

Not to mention the Royal Ark is right outside.

It should be fine...say?

Thinking of the unreliable performance of the Ark Royal, Ayanami thought that when necessary, she should wake up Laffey, and she couldn't rely on that kind of ship girl.

Fortunately, the Ark Royal is not here.

If Royal Ark knew that her favorite sister, the Exorcist, had such an unreliable image of her, she would probably cry out of sadness.

That’s right, outside the port at this moment, it was the Royal Ark that spoke out to stop Shokaku and Zuikaku from launching their carrier-based aircraft.

As for that majestic, indifferent, wild and unruly voice.

That was purely the imagination of Shokaku, Zuikaku and the others under pressure.

The reason is that Royal Ark is practicing to master the power she gained from the Mirror Sea, trying to merge with another self.

After integrating the power of her other self from the Mirror Sea, the Royal Ark's originally steampunk-style ship outfit continued to exude an ominous aura.

The dashing military uniform, the black side bangs, the tall stature, even those who know the Royal Ark inside and out have to admit that the Royal Ark, when it is not sick, still has some temperament.

"you."

"Are you provoking me?"

Whether it is the Liberty Ship Girls or the Port Ship Girls, it is impossible for them to accept someone launching carrier-based aircraft at their doorstep. This is tantamount to entrusting their own safety to others.

A ship girl who has not deployed her ship suit is definitely not as powerful as herself after deploying her ship suit. If it is a port with a commander, a bullet or the aftermath of a high-explosive bomb explosion can easily take the life of a commander.

As soon as Royal Ark finished speaking, a soul network of over a hundred levels instantly covered the entire sea area, and the pressure suddenly fell on Shokaku and Zuikaku.

"The strength of this soul network..."

"So strong!"

The most intuitive manifestation of the improvement of the ship girl's proficiency level is the soul network. The pressure exerted by the soul network on powerful ship girls and weak ship girls is completely different.

In the eyes of Shokaku and Zuikaku, the strength of the Royal Ark's soul network has surpassed that of any other ship girl they know, including the Gray Ghost of White Eagle, who is currently the strongest ship girl in their impression.

"but......"

"It's just to this extent..."

"Don't try to make us surrender!" x2

The voices of Shokaku and Zuikaku sounded at the same time. As sister ships in history, they appeared in the real world as ship girls at the same time. As legendary main ship girls, the two of them were not outstanding.

But when the two joined forces, the result was completely different.

Breaking through again after reaching the maximum level is a qualitative change, and the magnitude of improvement is even greater than the three breakthroughs in an ordinary ship girl's life.

But the Royal Ark did not truly break through the level limit. She just used external forces and the power of another self to temporarily break through the limitations of the Ship Girl's Mind Cube.

As a result, facing the simultaneous explosion of the soul network of Shokaku and Zuikaku, he almost couldn't hold on and almost fell back from the breakthrough state.

Falling.

"Wait, wait, if I return to my original state at this time, I will be so embarrassed!"

Royal Ark had a sad face and tried hard to maintain his majestic appearance.

By now the expelled sisters on the shore must have noticed what was happening here. If she faced the enemy without even a chance to fight back, she would definitely be laughed at by the expelled sisters.

The family knows their own affairs.

If the Royal Ark had not merged with its other self, it would definitely not be a match for either of the two ship girls on its own.

No, I can’t embarrass myself in front of my expelled sisters!

The Royal Ark gritted its teeth and discovered that its unstable state, which had become due to the impact of Shokaku and Zuikaku's soul network, was actually gradually recovering.

Royal Ark seemed to understand something. She touched her chest and murmured to herself, "Don't you want to embarrass yourself in front of your expelled sisters?"

No matter what they have experienced, the Royal Ark in the Mirror Sea is essentially the same as her. She does not need to adapt to another self. As long as they have the same ideals and beliefs, they are one!

"In order to protect what we want, we must become stronger!"

The Royal Ark strengthened its belief that it could not always rely on Sister Lafite and did not want to lose Sister Lafite again. What happened in the Mirror Sea was enough after it happened once.

"I, the Royal Ark, will not be depressed any longer!"

"Petrel Squadron, Swordfish Squadron."

"take off!"

"..."

No matter who the enemy is, if you want to disturb Sister Rafi, you have to get past her first!

On the shore, Rafi opened his eyes.

"very noisy!"

.......

Chapter 77: Do you need Rafi’s help?

KanColle, born from steel, originates from longing.

Meet humans, get to know humans, and imitate humans.

There is only one thing to pursue.

heart.

No matter how magnificent a ship is, without thoughts it is just a cold creature.

Shell, shape, temperature.

There is actually no difference between humans and ship girls.

Newly born ship girls are like toddlers. The world they see and know is the puzzle pieces that they imitate to achieve their own goals.

who am I?

where am I?

What am I doing?

When you recognize where your “heart” is.

It's awakening!

Although it seems simple, if it were really simple, there wouldn't be only two ship girls with awakened cognition in the world, and one would be from the Siren experiment of the Mirror Sea, and the other wouldn't even be a pure ship girl.

The younger you are, the purer you are; the older you are, the more confused you are.

This statement is well demonstrated by those ship girls who have reached their own limits.

Only when you truly take that step can you be reborn!

Of course, not all ship girls care about this kind of thing.

"I don't care about the mess!"

In its normal state, the Ark Royale still has a considerable gap with legendary ship girls like Shokaku and Zuikaku, but after merging with its other self, this gap has obviously been eliminated or even far exceeded.

So Zuikaku is very excited now.

The orange-yellow eyes are bright and sharp. For a legendary ship girl who has almost no chance of improvement, it is not easy to find an opponent that suits her.

"You actually want to use bombers to fight against our fighters. You really underestimate us!"

To measure the air control capability of an aircraft carrier, we just need to see how many fighter jets it can launch. Each fighter jet can be said to be an air killer and the natural enemy of the other two types of carrier-based aircraft.

I said a long time ago that the only two types of carrier-based aircraft that the Ark Royal can launch are bombers and torpedo planes, and there are no fighters at all.

Unfortunately, both Shokaku and Zuikaku can fly three types of aircraft at the same time: fighters, bombers and torpedo planes, and can easily seize air superiority when facing the Ark Royal.

The Royal Ark didn't want to use bombers to fight fighters, but she could only fly two types of carrier-based aircraft. She had to make a choice between bombers and torpedo planes.

She couldn't let the 818th Squadron, which was her trump card, fight the fighter jets to the death, one against two. Under the disadvantage of air superiority, even if she temporarily broke through the limit of the ship girl, it would be impossible for her to defeat so many fighter jets in a head-on confrontation.

The army is in danger.

Royal Ark has long been accustomed to this kind of thing!

The battle actually began the moment Shokaku and Zuikaku launched their carrier-based aircraft.

Although there is no deep hatred between the ship girls and it is impossible for them to really fight, if one side starts to provoke, the other side will of course respond.

Thanks to the vision provided by carrier-based aircraft, both sides could clearly see each other's location.

"The shipgirl of the Sakura Empire?"

"The Royal Navy's shipgirl?"

Historically, there was basically no intersection between the warships of the Sakura Empire and the Imperial Navy, as they all fought independently on their own battlefields. The reality is definitely different.

There is no enmity between countries, but rather interests.

Under the premise of having a common enemy, even humans have to put aside their past grudges and cooperate, not to mention the ship girls who are born to fight against the Sirens.

Xianghe and Zuikaku were testing to see how strong the so-called seniors were, and how strong they could make the legendary ship girls of Donghuang feel.

Willing to be the green leaf.

The Royal Ark responded that if even she couldn't defeat him, then there was no point in disturbing her beloved sister Lafite!

"All fighters, break through in four-plane formation!"

On the more than 200-meter-long ship, Zuikaku waved his hand, and more than 30 golden and super rare Zero fighters were immediately arranged into two fighter formations, with every four fighters forming a small formation.

Ship girls below the legendary level will work hard for stronger equipment. Even a ship girl like Wichita, who has just been promoted to legendary, does not have many gold-quality equipment.

But it has been more than ten years since he was promoted to a legend. Even if he is unlucky, it is only natural that he can get some super rare golden equipment when he attacks.

Exchange the useless things for resources, and equip the useful ones directly yourself.

Whether it is Shokaku or Zuikaku, the equipment and equipment on both of them are all of gold quality. In the past, when rare was good and gold was strong, people would just use the gold equipment they could use. Who would consider whether there would be better equipment in the future?

Therefore, the equipment on the two is not only rare, but also has a high degree of enhancement. Even if it is not enhanced to the maximum level, it is actually almost the same.

In comparison, the equipment here in the Royal Ark is somewhat disappointing.

Because of the upcoming battle with the Sirens, and knowing that the Royal Ark did not have suitable equipment, the Tianhai Kanmusu branch temporarily took out several highly enhanced purple carrier-based aircraft for the Royal Ark to choose from.

It’s not that they don’t want to take out gold-quality carrier-based aircraft, but because they are simply not available at the moment, or even if they are available, the degree of enhancement is too low, and the Royal Ark doesn’t want them.

Therefore, the Royal Ark only had one purple Petrel bomber that had been enhanced six times, one purple Barracuda torpedo plane that had been enhanced seven times, and one purple Swordfish torpedo plane that had been enhanced only three times.

Originally, the Tianhai Kanmusu branch wanted the Royal Ark to replace the Swordfish torpedo plane that had been enhanced three times with another purple TBF Avenger torpedo plane with a higher level of enhancement.

However, this matter was righteously rejected by Royal Ark.

"The swordfish is the equipment that my sister Lafei won for me after participating in a gambling fight. I will never replace it!"

Ship girls are semi-idealistic creatures. If a ship girl thinks that purple-quality carrier-based aircraft are better than gold-quality carrier-based aircraft, then even if she is forcibly equipped with gold-quality carrier-based aircraft, the effect it can produce will not be stronger than that of purple-quality carrier-based aircraft.

Therefore, the ship girls of the Tianhai Ship Girls Division had no way to force the Royal Ark to replace its equipment. They could only help the Royal Ark improve the level of its carrier-based aircraft as much as possible before the decisive battle.

But the gap is the gap, and it cannot be made up by the idealism of the ship girl.

because.

Ark Royale is a idealistic ship girl, and Shokaku and Zuikaku are also idealistic ship girls!

Who is more idealistic?

Therefore, Royal Ark was at a disadvantage from the very beginning. In a one-on-two situation, the only thing Royal Ark could rely on was that her current training level was higher than Shokaku and Zuikaku.

But this gap obviously cannot make up for the gap between bombers and fighters.
