Arceus' Pirate Journey

"Brother Manderfesh, we're here!"

"I saw it, but it was quite a fight. Where is the consignee? It would be embarrassing if it was delivered to the wrong person. Reputation is still very important."

This chaotic situation is not a good thing for them. If they accidentally send the weapons to the enemy of the cargo owner, it will become a joke.

"They said they were waiting for us at the port on the East Coast."

"Remove the sails and wait until night to go over. Their battle has nothing to do with us."

Manderfesch had no intention of interfering in their battlefield. The Beasts Pirates provided mercenary services, but that was an extra charge. If they encountered an enemy team during the day, it would be inappropriate for them to fight or not. Manderfesch did not intend to let the other side take advantage of their combat power for free.

At night, Mandfisch and a few others took a small boat and landed at the eastern port of Kraingana Island.

"who is it!"

As soon as the ship docked, several gun-wielding figures appeared in the shadows. From what Manderfesch perceived, there were several more people hiding in other places who had not shown up.

"The one who delivered the weapons, Sef is one of yours, right?"

Manderfisch mentioned the name of the consignee, but the other party did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he asked about the code that Manderfisch had agreed on.

After getting the correct answer, he took them to the base of the rebels. This was what they called themselves, but in the eyes of the kingdom they were just rebels.

"Ammunition, swords, we've brought everything you asked for, but where's the money?"

"Here, but this is only half... The rest can only be given to you after we defeat the opponent. We have some funds..."

"Hey, old man, are you kidding me? Do you think we can sell on credit?"

Hearing that there was no money, Mandfesh's face changed immediately. It was impossible to allow credit in this kind of business. Once opened, it would be impossible to stop.

"You don't think I'm easy to talk to, do you? Your funding is your problem. If you can't pay the balance, we won't refund your deposit."

Those who can pay are customers, and those who can’t pay are being fooled.

"We lost a lot of supplies in our previous defeat on the front line, so..."

"That has nothing to do with me! I just want to ask, do you have money?!"

As he said that, Manderfesch punched the table in front of him. He thought that the table would be smashed to pieces with this punch, but a huge recoil force came with it, and he almost sprained his hand.

"Wait, Brother Manderfesh."

His men suddenly grabbed Manderfesch, which made him a little dissatisfied.

"what happened?"

"Brother Manderfish, look at that thing...it looks like...that..."

Although it was not smashed, the things on the table were knocked away by Manderfesh's power, and the table that fell to the side was in the shape of a stone slab.

There is also a very simple test method for the Slate Beasts Pirates: what cannot be broken is the real thing. Manderfesh is still a little confident in his own strength. Looking at the table top that is not damaged at all, he found that he had picked up a treasure.

"Well, don't be nervous, everyone. This is actually a show. You are new customers, so we can give you a small discount. But this stone is pretty solid. Do you have any objection to us taking it away?"

Chapter 326 This is why I don’t like paradise!

The scene changed dramatically. Just when Manderfesh overturned the table, the rebels all took up their weapons. A man named Joseph was just an ordinary teacher, but the huge taxes caused his family to break up, so he began to lead the parade.

As a result, he became the spiritual pillar of the rebels, so they were very nervous when Manderfesh overturned the table. However, they also knew that the current war situation did not allow them to make any additional enemies.

But now the situation has become somewhat funny.

"Of course...you can take anything you like in this house..."

Sef didn't understand what was going on at all. Although Hundred Beasts had issued a bounty notice for collecting stone tablets, the World Government's bounty might not be known to everyone, let alone Hundred Beasts' current channels.

The slate-like stone was just dug out when they were building the wall. They thought it was very flat, so they used it as a tabletop.

Then, in the eyes of the rebels, Manderfesch did a very strange thing. He kept hammering on the stone, but the stone was not hurt at all. However, there were more smiles on his face.

This strange behavior made the rebels suspect that he was a masochist.

Mandfesh didn't care about this kind of thing at all. In the merit evaluation of all beasts, finding the stone tablet alone was a special merit. Now his goal of retirement after becoming a senior cadre was basically set in stone.

As for the cost of that batch of arms, let alone half price, as long as we have the stone slabs, we wouldn't mind even if they were given for free.

Not wanting to cause any trouble, Manderfesch directly contacted his men to send over the remaining arms.

However, when Mandfesh wanted to leave, an accident happened. Suddenly, there was the sound of artillery fire in the camp, and shouts of killing were gradually approaching in the distance. The kingdom army of the Kingdom of Sikaial appeared here.

"I wish you good luck in martial arts and hope to receive your orders again."

Carrying the stone slab on his back, Mandfesh planned to take his people away from here. The weapons were taken away at half price, as these people obviously could not afford the cost of mercenaries.

But his desire to leave did not mean that the artillery shells of the Kingdom Army would avoid them. The Kingdom Army that launched the general attack directly affected Manderfesch. This did not make Manderfesch angry, because the cannon was not a sniper rifle and could not accurately strike.

But in a sense, a single shot has great power and can kill the enemy in one strike. As long as the shot is accurate, it is a large-caliber group damage sniper.

But the problem was that when Mandfesh and his men wanted to leave, they were surrounded by the army of the Kingdom of Sikaial.

"I say, we are just businessmen, can you please get out of the way?"

"His Majesty's order is that no one can be released and all the rebels must be eliminated."

"We are not rebels. Can't you see this sign? You are actually making an enemy of the Beasts Pirates."

Manderfesch pointed at the pirate logo on his clothes. He didn't want to fight with the other party. After all, as long as he fought, it would mean sharing the firepower with the rebels, which was equivalent to letting them get a wave of mercenaries for free.

But the answer was a bullet.

"I haven't heard of any beasts, I only know that this is the order of King Xikai V."

At the moment the gun went off, red scales covered Manderfesh's entire body, and the bullet was directly bounced out by the scales.

"That's why I hate Paradise. It's because there are always people like you who don't know the limits of the universe and who cause so much trouble along the way."

In the New World, the three flags of Beasts, Big Mom, and Whitebeard are more effective deterrents than the flags of the World Government and the Navy, especially in the second half, when the flags of Beasts basically allow them to pass unhindered.

The closer you get to the first half of the Grand Line, the greater the chance of running into trouble.

"Guys! Break through!"

The beast-like Manderfesh rushed out first. Although he didn't want to let the other side get away with it for free, there was nothing he could do in this situation. As the captain of the scout team, the pirates under his command were also a group of elites. With Manderfesh as the vanguard, these kingdom troops could not stop them at all.

The news here also reached King Sicca V. He chose to lead the siege himself in this operation in order to quickly resolve the rebels. In fact, he was forced to do so.

The strongest fighter in the Kingdom of Sikaial is a man who is responsible for protecting the royal family. He is a strong man found by Sikai IV, but he has an agreement with Sikai IV. In the absence of foreign invaders, he is only responsible for the safety of the royal family members and will not take care of other situations.

In his opinion, this kind of civil unrest did not constitute foreign invasion, so he refused to take action. Today, he came up with this idea because he was forced into a corner by Sikai V. As long as he went to the front line, this person would have to go to the front line with him to protect himself.

He had already deposited the money, and now the other party told him that it was a critical moment and it had to be done before the next world conference, so he stepped onto this dangerous frontline.

"All troops attack! We must capture the rebel Sef!"

"Your Majesty! There is news from the east coast garrison that a group of people are forcing their way out, and our people can't stop them!"

They were not aware of the situation within the rebel army and thought that Joseph was trying to escape by ship, so Sikai V led his guards directly in pursuit.

The royal guard had no choice but to follow him. This was the agreement he had made with the Fourth Generation. He didn't expect that the Fifth Generation was so much worse than the Fourth Generation.

"Senior, don't be so stubborn about your rules. You will have to take action in the end anyway. Why don't you cooperate with me this time?"

"..."

"I promise this won't happen again."

"This is just one time. If you break your promise again, the agreement between your father and I will be void."

In order to prevent this person from continuing to commit suicide, he finally agreed to take action once. Otherwise, his method of forcing himself to take action would be even more dangerous.

......

"Boss Manderfesch, there are too many of these people."

"They are the Kingdom's army after all. Don't underestimate them. All non-member nations that can exist in the Grand Line have their own abilities."

Being a non-member state means having its own military force to protect its own country. In a cruel place like the Grand Line, non-member states that can maintain a complete regime are generally more powerful than member states.

The navy will not take care of these non-member countries, even if the naval base is nearby.

At this moment, Manderfesh suddenly sensed a sense of danger and moved his scaly arm to the side to block, but this time there was an extra blood mark on his arm.

Looking at the broken scales and the reinforcements coming, Mandfesh's expression looked a little heavy.

"A swordsman who can cut steel... Trouble is coming..."

Chapter 327: I don’t want to retire alone!

If it were in the New World, then such things would require a high-ranking official to be on board. The Banner of the Beasts could avoid most troubles, but once trouble occurred, it would be a big trouble. Manderfesh's ability was not strong enough in the New World.

However, his abilities are still sufficient for the first half of the Grand Line. The Magikarp's steel-hard scales give him strong resistance to attacks from ordinary swords and guns after he unleashes his abilities.

If you want to hurt him, cutting steel is the most basic requirement. However, in the first half of the Grand Line, there are not many swordsmen or opponents of the same level who can cut steel, and it usually takes a long time to encounter one.

Unexpectedly, he met such a person in the Kingdom of Xikaial. After a brief fight with him, Mandfesh felt the difference between him and the previous kingdom soldiers.

Looking at the strange swordsman and the better-equipped team behind him, Manderfesh's face turned ugly.

At the same time, an idea came into Manderfesch's mind.

"Is luck really conserved?"

Feeling the weight of the stone slab behind him, Mandfesh suddenly remembered the metaphysical theory that had long been circulating within the Cult of Arceus - the Law of Conservation of Luck.

It means that people have a certain amount of luck. It was definitely luck that he found this stone slab, but what followed was a series of bad luck. It seemed to be similar when he gained the ability last time. This was not the first time this happened to him.

With the support of the imperial guards led by King Sikai V, the opening that Mandelfish and the others had torn was quickly blocked, and the surrounding people continued to surround them.

The swordsman made it very difficult for Manderfesch to deal with him. He was holding a medieval two-handed greatsword, and every time he swung the sword, it caused Manderfesch a lot of trouble.

As the captain of the scout team, Manderfesh was proficient in dual-color Haki. At the beginning, when facing those ordinary bullets, he did not use Haki because there was no need to.

With this new enemy, he naturally used his domineering aura. The scales blessed by his domineering aura became even harder, and even the opponent's sword could not directly break his defense like before.

However, the impact of the swinging of the greatsword still affected him, and he discovered that the swordsman did not have Armament Haki, but had some talent in Observation Haki.

Due to his abilities, he also develops in the physical arts style, but his attacks can never hit the opponent. He uses the length of the blade and Manderfesh to maintain a safe range. Whenever he wants to advance to the inside of the enemy's body, he will always be predicted.

"You... your observation Haki is pretty good..."

"This is the mind of a swordsman. You, the ability users, will not understand. Compared to the power brought by these external objects, the body is the most fundamental power."

"Ha, you ignorant people always bring a lot of fun to others, but you don't know what you are doing. We are not in the same group with those rebels, but you guys don't understand what kind of disaster will come if you provoke us."

"I don't understand. I am only following the orders of His Majesty the Fifth. Surrender. You can't get out. These are the most elite guards of the Kingdom of Xikai."

Manderfesch ignored him and ordered his men behind him, "Pearman, contact the people left on the ship. Use the ship's guns to clear a path. You lead them back to the ship."

"Boss Manderfesh, what about you?"

"I'll deal with this old guy. You are no match for him. Don't worry, I have a way to get out of this."

The most difficult one among these people is the swordsman. His subordinates are no match for him. If they expose their backs to him, they will surely be killed one by one. But if they don't rush out, they will be defeated sooner or later under the siege.

The people who remained on the ship at this time became their additional reinforcements.

And the so-called fire support is also the most classic infantry tactic - infantry and artillery coordination. This is a tactic that the Beasts practiced after entering Wano Country and began to recruit soldiers.

In addition to high-level confrontations between cadres, their battles can also determine the outcomes of some wars, and infantry-artillery coordination places high demands on both infantry and artillery.

The artillery built by Wano Country far exceeds previous artillery in range and accuracy. Under this circumstance, the tactics of infantry and artillery coordination began to become popular among the Beasts.

However, that is a tactic used in large-scale sieges. There are only two main guns on Manderfesh's ship that can reach this position. In addition to the problem of shooting interval, they have to keep up with the pace of the shells in order to rush out.

"clear...."

Taking out a signal gun from his arms, Pearlman fired four flares into the sky. That was the signal they had arranged, meaning that they were surrounded and artillery fire was needed to clear the way.

They cannot guarantee that they will always have time to communicate using Den Den Mushi, so this method of signal communication is also necessary.

When the pirates on the ship saw the flare, they picked up straw paper and a special telescope and began to calculate the distance.

It is a technical job to fire artillery accurately. These elite artillerymen were tortured by a bunch of formulas for a long time before they could complete their mission.

"Raise the gun position three degrees and fire a test shot."

In less than a minute, a shell landed in the encirclement of the Kingdom Army. Seeing that the positions were almost the same, Pearman fired another signal. During this time, the swordsman wanted to stop the opponent, but was stopped by Manderfesch.

This time the signal indicated that the position was correct, and then the shells began to fall continuously and gradually retreated.

"Boss Manderfesh, you have to get out alive."

After saying that, Pearman rolled and rushed towards the encirclement of the Kingdom Army. The identity of the Endower was the reason why Manderfesch asked him to be responsible for clearing the way.
