Chapter 531: Misaka Sister's Battle
Grand Line, Gaya Island.
This place was once a lawless area with a large number of pirates, and it could even be called the Pirate Island. However, everything changed after a tour group visited at the end of April last year.
The two largest pirate gangs on the entire island were wiped out, and the other small pirates either escaped or were caught. The island suddenly became a lot quieter and deserted.
The pirates are gone, and that also means the biggest consumers are gone.
Later, a naval base was built on the island. The person in charge, Brigadier General Virgo, seemed to be a tough general and brought a lot of security to everyone.
With the navy stationed on the island, many jobs were created and merchant ships gradually began to come and go.
But a few months later, Brigadier General Virgo was arrested on charges of embezzling base construction funds and mistreating his soldiers.
No one knew about the corruption, but Smoker was the soldier who was mistreated. Everyone saw with their own eyes that the wound on Smoker's head was very serious on the day Virgo was arrested.
It has been more than five months since Vergo was arrested. During this period, Vice Admiral Gion has been stationed at the Gaya Island Naval Base. Although she rarely takes action, many sensible pirates are already avoiding the nearby waters.
Now the naval base has been completed long ago, and the navy on the island has gained the trust of the residents. The base has been stabilized. Gion knows that it won't be long before someone will come here to replace him.
Today, we received news that there were pirates nearby. Gion rarely put on his sword and went on board the ship to fight in person.
However, the actual combat command was not carried out by Gion, but by Tina. After , Tina has shed her immaturity and has become an excellent commander.
I think it won’t be long before Tina’s rank will be promoted to school level, while Smoker... will still be a problem child.
Maybe it was because Vergo's headbutt dealt him too much of a blow, Smoker is no longer concerned about command and various chores, and is completely focused on training, training his fruit abilities and physical fitness, becoming an absolute training maniac. Apart from training, fighting is probably the only thing that can interest him.
"Smoker, you're not in a good state right now. Tina is worried."
"No, I'm fine. I'm improving every day." Smoker, as usual, held two cigars in his mouth, two curls of smoke rising up and partially obscuring his expression. "Anyway, hurry up and catch these pirates first."
Tina had no way to deal with Smoker's bad temper, so she had to concentrate on commanding the battle.
Vice Admiral Gion watched the pair of enemies as if they were watching a show. It was a pity that Tina could resist beating Smoker.
Not long after the battle began, the lookout loudly reported: "Captain Tina, the pirates are starting to escape!"
In the bombardment battle, ordinary pirates were of course no match for the navy and were quickly beaten and forced to flee.
Tina ordered the warship to pursue at full speed, but Vice Admiral Gion looked in the direction the pirates fled and said, "Perhaps there is no need to pursue them."
The pirates also noticed that there was a ship approaching in the direction they were heading, but it did not look like a warship, and it was not directly in front of them. They believed that the other party would actively avoid it after seeing the pirate flag, so they didn't need to worry about them.
But they never expected that the ship would deliberately turn a corner to block their way.
"You're in the way, fire!" The captain was furious. It's okay for me to be bullied by the navy as a pirate, but how could I be bullied by you ordinary people? If you dare to get in my way, I'll kill you!
"Captain! That's the Amber Tour Group!"
"What?"
The cannonball fired by the pirate ship was split in two by the flying slash, and the Amber quickly approached the pirate ship. The first one to jump onto the pirate ship this time was Misaka Sister, wearing military goggles and holding an assault rifle.
Following closely behind were her little sisters - Wendy accidentally forgot that she couldn't get on other boats, and fortunately Xia Lulu took her flying in time.
The pirates were a bit stunned by this combination. An adult brought a group of little girls to the pirate ship. What was going on? An outing?
"Da, da da..." The only answer they got was the flames from the rifle in Misaka's hand. The pirates screamed in pain, covering their arms or thighs and falling to the ground.
The gunshots sounded very small, even smaller than the sound of firecrackers. This was probably due to special treatment for the secrecy of the "experiment".
The F2000R assault rifle is a firearm specially made by Academy City for female clones who are 14 years old. It uses special materials to reduce weight and recoil as much as possible, so Misaka sisters can use it easily.
It even uses a high-precision electronic control system and can achieve information interconnection with military goggles to assist in adjusting the trajectory, so that the shooter does not even need to consider influencing factors such as wind force, and only needs to know where he wants to hit.
The most convenient thing is that if the rifle or goggles are out of power, Misaka sister can charge it herself...
Although the pirates were caught off guard, they quickly launched a counterattack with their weapons in hand.
Misaka watched them calmly, shooting while making the necessary tactical moves to deal with any attacks she might face.
However, she overlooked one thing, that is, she was not fighting alone this time. Her companions knew that she did not like close combat, so they stopped all the enemies ten meters away, allowing Misaka to shoot .
"I've discovered a completely new way of fighting. Based on the support I received from the 'Learning Device', it should be described as 'cooperation' and 'cover'. Beep~ Misaka is delighted by this."
Zhang Da was also on the Amber, watching the battle from afar. He counted on his fingers: "Weiwei, Perona, Wendy, Xia Lulu, does this count as four protecting one?"
The others were watching from the side. It was Zhang Da's idea to let Misaka try to participate in the battle. He wanted to see how good Misaka's fighting ability was.
When traveling around this world, fighting is inevitable. If Misaka cannot adapt to the fighting in this world, then he can only find a way to make Misaka stronger, or Zhang Da also become stronger himself.
Misaka sister did not hesitate at all. According to the original agreement, she needed to do something within her ability for Zhang Da. She had no objection to fighting because that was her original job. The difference was that Zhang Da told her that if she didn't like fighting, she could choose to refuse.
Misaka did not refuse, nor did she want to refuse. Perhaps she herself did not realize that she had been fighting for the purpose of experimentation before, and that was the meaning given to her since she was born.
Now she is fighting for herself, which is the agreement she and Zhang Da have made.
Moreover, fighting together with her companions gave her a completely different feeling, but Misaka couldn't describe it well with a "beep~" right now.
The pirates were quickly knocked down by the little girls. They were actually quite strong and had their own experience in dealing with ordinary firearms.
But the gun in Misaka's hand is much more powerful than the flintlock rifles commonly seen in this world , not to mention that Misaka also has a set of auxiliary shooting plug-ins, and the pirates have no way to resist.
Even if they are lucky enough not to be hit by bullets, there are still cute negative ghosts, yellow sand as sharp as swords, and magic of the wind waiting for them.
The only one who was relatively good at fighting was the captain, who wanted to take Misaka hostage when her magazine was empty - the girl with the gun was obviously not good at close combat.
Misaka Sister refused her companions who wanted to help her and slapped the pirate captain's arm that was grabbing her.
Sizzle~
There was a flash of lightning, and the pirate captain fell down with convulsions, his hair standing on end.
"Misaka-sister, how are you?" Wendy asked with concern.
"Misaka has extensive combat experience. If it were just an attack of this magnitude, there would be no need to worry. But thank you. Beep~ Misaka expresses her gratitude for her companion's concern."
"Did you faint already?" Perona kicked the pirate captain and asked, "But didn't you say that you have to use your full power to knock someone out?"
"That refers to the situation where the 'Electric Shock Gun' is fired without contacting the target, like this..." As she spoke, a purple electric light suddenly shot out from the bangs on Misaka's forehead and hit a pirate who had just pretended to be dead and now wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
The unfortunate pirate fell to the ground because his body suddenly became paralyzed while running, but he did not lose consciousness.
"...If it was Onee-sama's 'Thunder Spear', he wouldn't just fall to the ground. Beep~ Misaka explained and demonstrated."
"So cool!" Perona looked at Misaka enviously and said, "As cool as Wendy's magic!"
"It's just a very ordinary electromagnetic ability, and it's only level 2. Beep~ Misaka turned her face away and said in a tsundere tone."
There's absolutely no hint of tsundereness in it.
Zhang Da, who jumped onto the pirate ship, also wanted to ask Perona to demonstrate what tsundere was, but he felt that Misaka didn't need to learn this skill.
"You solved it very neatly. Do you want a reward? Like, maybe an extra dessert today."
"I want a cup of black tea and a Fishman Island-style dessert, preferably made by Tom. Beep~ Misaka has raised the reward standard in advance."
Weiwei said, "I'm the same as Misaka."
"We want ice cream!" Wendy took the opportunity to order for Xia Lulu.
Perona's taste remained unchanged: "I want hot cocoa!"
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Tom." Zhang Da waved his hand and agreed to everything, and then received thanks from the little girls.
Tom nodded and jumped off Zhang Daye's shoulder, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start work. But after taking a few steps, he felt more and more that something was wrong. Why was I the one doing the work and the owner was the one receiving the thanks?
Tom fell into deep thought.
Zhang Da also touched Tom's head to express his comfort. When the dessert was served, they knew who to thank.
As for exploiting Tom's labor, that didn't exist, because when he saw the warship coming, he knew that Tom didn't need to cook lunch today.
