Starting from pirates and conquering all worlds

Thick dark clouds cover the sky, and crystal snowflakes dance all over the sky.

The mighty sea water is flowing, and the waves are rolling away into the distance one after another.

On the vast ocean that was so wide that no one could see the edge, dozens of different warships belonging to two sides were fighting together under the rain of arrows and artillery fire.

Fight, fight, life and death!

On the west side, more than twenty modern-style steel warships, with their artillery range far exceeding the opponent's, continued to bombard nearly a hundred extremely ancient wooden sailboats in the distance.

in the air.

From time to time, more than a dozen silver rockets with flame tails would quickly pass by, blowing up target enemy ships or huge sea beasts one after another with an accuracy far greater than that of artillery shells.

These are 'Thundergun' type rockets produced in the 'Giant World'. The Weapons Research Institute modified them according to the requirements of the Navy Headquarters and then mounted them on warships.

In this way, the world government has its own guided missile destroyer.

Although the World Government does not yet have artificial satellite-assisted navigation, Vegapunk of the Academy of Sciences took some time to develop something called a 'hemispheric inertial gyroscope'.

It can provide accurate positioning and navigation without artificial satellites, and has better stability against electronic interference than artificial satellites.

certainly.

If the distance is too far, the accuracy is indeed worse than that of satellites, but it is enough for missile strikes.

However, the biggest opponent of the World Government's navy at this moment is not the sailing wooden ships, but the strange monsters under the sea.

That is, the dangerous species of the ocean in this world.

Not only are they huge in size, but they also have their own extraordinary abilities. Among them, a large black octopus that is two to three hundred meters tall is the most vicious.

He bravely withstood all kinds of cannonballs, rockets, and even the chops of the navy admiral, and waved eight thick and long tentacles to wildly slap the World Government's warships.

Or spit out highly poisonous ink to dye the surrounding sea into pitch black, poisoning one's own sea beasts as well.

The Kamiwa Island Fleet located on the east side of the sea.

They seem to have some means of taming or controlling these sea monsters, and those wooden boats are really just used as ships, without even a cannon on them.

besides.

They have a large number of sword-wielding samurai, and each of them is very strong and very skilled in swordsmanship. There are many people who can wield sword energy.

These swordsmen used the huge bodies of the sea beasts as a platform to fight back and forth with the admirals and commanders of the Navy Headquarters on the sea surface.

Sometimes they intersect, sometimes they collide, and the clear and sonorous sounds are continuous.

Although they encountered those domineering generals, these swordsmen often found it difficult to compete.

But if they are faced with a naval officer who only knows how to be domineering or not at all domineering, they can achieve certain results with their superb swordsmanship and cooperation.

Not only that.

On the side of God and the fleet, there is a group of archers with black masks on their faces. They seem to be both men and women, but their archery skills are extremely good.

Not only can it hit naval soldiers moving at high speed, it can even intercept cannonballs whizzing in the air from time to time.

If someone approaches.

Some of them would directly draw the double swords from their backs, summon the kappas who were responsible for guarding under the sea, and join them to catch up with the attacking naval captain, giving their companions behind them a chance to continue shooting.

These people are gods and ninjas of the island nation!

In this country, those who excel in archery may not necessarily be ninjas, but as long as they are ninjas, they must be good at archery.

And those kappas are a dangerous species in the ocean.

It looks like a hairy human with four limbs, but it has a sharp mouth and a light green turtle shell on its back.

Not only can they move normally in the water, but their swimming speeds are astonishing, and their legs are even more powerful. They like to jump out of the water and kick their targets to death.

Or quickly swim up from the sea and kick the bottom of the boat.

In other words, their threat to warships is very similar to that of torpedoes. Although they are weaker in power, they are better in flexibility and attack frequency.

After all, if one kick doesn't work, just try it a few more times.

Because these kappas only exist in Kamiwa Island, the empire has not included or classified them.

at this time.

There are only a small number of kappas guarding these ninjas. Most of the kappas are in the deep sea, engaged in underwater battles with the World Government's naval murloc force.

In terms of number, the number of fish-men from starfish is around five hundred, but the number of kappas is upwards of three thousand.

And that's not all the kappa Kamiwajima has.

In the past thousand years, the Kamiwa Island Kingdom has already had a mature model of breeding kappa. These kappa are equivalent to the bottom soldiers, labor and cannon fodder of the navy.

So far, it is unknown how many Imperial Navy soldiers have died at the hands of Kappas, and how many Imperial warships have sunk at the feet of Kappas. Of course, there are also countless Kappas who have died in large and small naval battles.

Regarding this point, Esdeath is the one who feels the most.

all in all.

The gods and the island country relied on the joint operations of sea beasts, kappas, swordsmen, and ninjas to block the world government's naval fleet.

In fact, according to the plan, the former should have the Imperial Navy led by Esdeath as a helping hand at this time.

However, from ancient times to the present, plans can never keep up with changes in circumstances.

God and the capital of the island nation.

Among the green mountains behind Tianlang City.

I saw an extremely old man with his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged on the top of a huge boulder, with a plain white-handled long knife placed on his knees.

Behind it is a raging waterfall hanging with a curtain of water. A large amount of water continuously bombards the lake below, creating waves of shocking roaring sounds.

Next to this large round stone, there is a small round stone that is several circles smaller.

Sitting cross-legged on it was a black-haired girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old and had a cold temperament. She also had a long knife on her leg, but the scabbard was black.

suddenly.

As the old man suddenly opened his eyes, the original solemn aura was suddenly broken.

Grandpa, what's wrong?

The black-haired girl felt the abnormality in the atmosphere, opened a pair of beautiful black eyes as sharp as an eagle, and raised her head to look at the other party in surprise.

Lord Shenlong has just given me an oracle, asking us to be careful with the enemies from another world that appear this time. Among them there are many powerful people who are comparable to 'fairies' (super dangerous species/western mythical beasts).

And several other 'faeries' around the world have also awakened from their slumber!

The black-haired girl was shocked, someone comparable to a 'fairy spirit'?

Grandpa, how could there be such a person? Didn't you say that even you, as a sword master, and the Stigmata Alchemist from the West can only compete with the 'fairies' for a while at most?

The old man stood up slowly while holding the scabbard. The water vapor and strong wind generated by the falling waterfall behind him blew the loose white kimono on his body to the ground.

So, I'm also very curious. It's really exciting.

I, Yami Tsukahara, have lived for eighty-one years, but have never met an opponent and have been undefeated in my career. I am really lucky to have the opportunity to come into contact with such a person. It would be even better if the other person is a swordsman!

As the words progressed, the fighting spirit in this god and sword master became more and more intense.

His tyrannical momentum produced a tremendous pressure that was enough to make the black-haired girl find it difficult to breathe.

This was the first time she discovered that her kind and peaceful grandfather could have such a strong attitude.

Let's go.

Where is grandpa going?

sea.
