Chapter 293 Shocked the world, the fishmen attacked the Celestial Dragons!
The patrol ship coming out of the Reed Hill Island Naval Base closely followed the white cruise ship in front.
The sea breeze blew the sails and the patrol ship's speed was increased to maximum.
For some unknown reason, the cruise ship ahead of them retracted a secondary sail, causing its speed to drop suddenly. The naval commander on the training ship was keenly aware of this and immediately shouted to the sailors on the deck:
"The ship ahead has slowed down, please keep a safe distance."
"Driver's cab, be prepared to evade artillery fire!"
"Everyone, return to your fighting positions and hold on to the railings!"
The young lieutenant on the naval patrol ship was quite experienced and gave orders very quickly.
The sea breeze was howling, and the sailors on the deck were loudly conveying the commander's orders. After a while, the patrol ship quickly folded half of the jib and slowed down slightly.
"ju——"
Just as the patrol ship slowed down, a sharp whistling sound came from the air. The moment he heard the sound, the young naval lieutenant immediately leaned over and grabbed the railing, shouting at the same time: "Bombardment! Evasion!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shell whizzed past the patrol ship and fell into the sea behind it.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the waves caused by the explosion of the shells hit the ship, causing the warship to shake violently.
"Warning bombardment!"
The young lieutenant raised his head slightly, immediately made a judgment in his mind, and then quickly stood up and shouted to his subordinates behind him:
"Hasn't there been any news from Base Captain Tiger yet?"
In the center of the patrol ship's deck, there is a small communication desk with a communication telephone placed on it.
Hearing the lieutenant's call, the signalman immediately picked up the receiver. The moment he picked up the receiver, before the signalman could say anything, the order came from the other side:
"Commodore Tiger orders to intercept the World Government's ships and conduct patrols and searches aboard."
"Brigadier General Tiger has arrived with support troops. Keep in touch and report your location in real time!"
The clear command reached the ears of the signalman. Not only him, but also the young lieutenant standing not far away clearly heard the latest instructions from the base. Without any hesitation, he directly ordered the warship to speed up and approach the World Government cruise ship ahead.
On the snow-colored cruise ship, Jin Ke sat on the stern deck, watching the rapidly approaching patrol ship. He licked his lips with his tongue, chuckled, and muttered to himself, "Wild dogs, can't you wait any longer?"
"But I can't be stopped by you so easily, otherwise it won't be true."
Jin Ke clapped his hands, attracting the attention of CP9 on the nearby deck, and then said loudly: "Lower the jib sail, let's walk the dog!"
Shortly after Jin Ke finished speaking, the snow-colored cruise ship lowered half of its jib, the sound of the ocean current suddenly became louder, and driven by the sea breeze, the cruise ship began to accelerate. In the blink of an eye, it had opened up some distance from the patrol ship behind it.
The sailors on the patrol ship were all excited when they saw this scene. The young lieutenant leading the ship immediately slapped the railing and shouted excitedly:
"There really is a problem!"
"Report to Commodore Tiger, the World Government ship is trying to escape! Request the supporting warships to speed up!"
"Everyone, prepare for battle, full speed ahead, and bring the boat aboard!"
"Broadcast a notice and have the ship ahead stop and fire a warning shot."
Orders were quickly passed down, and the sailors on the deck quickly gathered together. After lining up, they quickly checked their equipment and stood quietly behind the young lieutenant.
"Bang!!!"
A shell shot out from the ship's gun and landed directly on the sea surface more than ten meters to the side of the snow-colored cruise ship in front.
The seawater stirred up by the exploding shells splashed onto the deck of the cruise ship, and at the same time, the navy's shouts filled the entire sea area:
"Listen up, ships ahead! We are the Navy of the Sword of Dawn branch. We require you to stop immediately and accept inspection."
"Stop the ship immediately and accept inspection!"
It was obvious that the navy's call had no effect. After hearing the warship's call, the World Government's ships had no intention of stopping. Instead, they moved even faster.
Seeing the distance between them widening, the warships also accelerated frantically, lowering all sails, trying to circle around the cruise ship and stop it. However, the World Government's cruise ship was obviously much more powerful than the warship, and even with all sails lowered, it was much faster than the warship.
"Lieutenant Danny, we can't catch up. At our speed, we can't get around to the front of the cruise ship."
The navy on the watchtower reported loudly, looking somewhat anxious.
On the deck, Danny, upon hearing this, steeled himself and called out to the signalman not far away, "Contact base, we're losing our chance, requesting an artillery bombardment!"
After a long time, the signalman replied: "Second Lieutenant, the bombardment request has been denied."
Hearing this, Danny showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but then he quickly cheered up, quickly drew out a long knife from his waist, rushed directly to the side of the ship, and jumped down.
"second lieutenant!"
The sailors on the deck were shocked when they saw this scene and rushed to the side of the ship to look into the sea.
At this moment, a wave was rushing towards the cruise ship in the distance. In the center of the wave, the navy could see a white figure, which was Lieutenant Danny who had just jumped into the sea.
"oh?"
"How could a branch patrol ship have people of this caliber?"
At the stern of the snow-colored cruise ship, Jin Ke glanced at the figure in the sea and was a little surprised.
“Bang!!”
Soon, a column of water shot up from the sea, and Lieutenant Danny, holding a long knife, landed directly on the railing. His eyes quickly scanned the CPs on the deck and then fell on Jin Ke.
The distinctive white suit and the long scar on his handsome face added a bit of fierceness. While Danny was observing the other party, the pink-haired young man was also observing Danny.
"I am the Sea of the Sword of Dawn..."
Danny had just opened his mouth to introduce himself when a sound of breaking air suddenly rang out on the deck.
"Huh?!" Danny only had time to let out a soft murmur before a white shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.
"This is a Celestial Dragon ship."
"No matter who you are, the moment you board the ship without permission, you will be sentenced to death!"
Pointing gun!
A slender finger pressed against Danny's chest, and the tingling sensation was transmitted to his brain. Danny's pupils shrank slightly, and a feeling of weakness instantly ran through his body. His body fell forward uncontrollably.
"Bang!!!" After a muffled sound, Danny fell on the deck. Blood kept flowing out of Danny's chest and flowed around along the cracks in the deck.
Danny tried hard to raise his head, but his eyelids felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, his vision was blurry, and his body was rapidly losing temperature.
"We... the Navy..."
"absolute……"
"No……"
Before he could finish his words, Danny's pupils slowly dilated and completely lost focus.
"What can you, the navy, do?" Jin Ke stretched out his hand, licked the blood on his fingertips, looked at the corpse on the ground, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
As he spoke, Jin Ke kicked Danny on the body. Looking at the body falling into the sea, Jin Ke took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the blood off his hands, and turned to walk towards the cabin.
"Lieutenant Dan... Lieutenant Danny!!"
What happened on the cruise ship was seen by the sailors on the patrol ship. Seeing Danny fall into the sea, the warship quickly slowed down and moved closer. After the warship stopped, the crew members jumped into the sea one after another. It took a lot of effort to salvage Danny back to the ship.
When the warship stopped, the cruise ship of the World Government did not continue to move forward, but instead slowed down and stopped at sea.
The ship's doctor hurried out of the cabin, pushed aside the marines surrounding Danny, and began to check on Danny's condition. After a moment, the doctor untied Danny's clothes, looked at the penetrating wound on his chest, and remained silent for a long time.
“…………”
The ship's doctor didn't need to say anything to the people around him. When the wound on Danny's heart was exposed to everyone, everyone knew that Danny was beyond saving.
"Those bastards... How dare..."
Danny's death aroused the anger of the sailors. Furious roars rang out from the deck. Soon, the sailors went to their respective combat positions, and the sound of cannons rang out directly from the warships.
"Bang bang bang bang!!!"
More than a dozen shells were fired directly from the warship, flying towards the cruise ship in the distance. At this time, at the stern of the cruise ship, a video recorder was recording the scene of the navy's bombardment of the ship.
"Bombardment! It's bombardment! The Dawn Sword Navy is bombarding us!!"
"Get out of the way, quickly get out of the way~"
Jin Ke held the video-recording Den Den Mushi in one hand and shouted loudly in the face of the navy's bombardment. His face was full of smiles and he was not at all frightened by the bombardment of his ship.
The navy on the patrol ship seemed to have lost their minds. After a round of shelling, they began to fire scattered shots. Jin Ke flew over and kicked away a few shells that were falling towards the cabin, and let the rest fall on the deck and the hull.
Thick smoke suddenly rose from the cruise ship.
"Don't fight back~ The other side is the navy, don't fight back~"
"Avoid, try your best to avoid!"
Jin Ke grabbed the video recorder and recorded all the damage on the cruise ship. While recording, he pretended to be horrified and shouted to everyone.
As the second round of shelling fell, smoke and fire instantly covered the cruise ship, and the sails embroidered with the World Government logo were also burning in the fire.
As he watched the cruise ship engulfed in flames, Jin Ke actually showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"The ship will sink at this rate. The navy intends to annihilate us."
"To protect the Celestial Dragons!"
"We must not sit still and wait for death. Fight back, and fight back quickly."
Jin Ke shouted loudly, and the World Government was obviously fully prepared. The moment Jin Ke gave the order, they began to counterattack the patrol ships in the rear.
After just one round of shelling, the patrol ship had lost its combat capability and no more shells were fired, but Jin Ke had no intention of stopping and commanded the people on the ship to continue the attack.
Amidst the roar of artillery fire, a hole was quickly torn open in the patrol ship's bottom, seawater poured into the hull, and the warship began to sink rapidly. Jin Ke turned off the video-recording Den Den Mushi in his hand and then took the Den Den Mushi into his arms.
Under the bombardment of the World Government, there were still some navy ships that survived, and several lifeboats were quickly sailing away. Seeing this scene, Jin Ke smiled and ordered CP0 behind him: "Turn around, catch up, and kill them all!"
…
"What the hell... is going on?!" When Tiger arrived with the support troops, there was only a wrecked cruise ship left on the sea, and the cruise ship was full of large holes caused by artillery shells.
On the deck of the cruise ship, the injured CP9 members were receiving treatment from the ship's doctors, and wailing filled the entire deck.
Tiger's warship slowly approached the cruise ship, and his face was solemn as he looked at the tragic scene on the other side's deck.
"Mercurus..."
Jin Ke on the deck had been waiting for Tiger for a long time. Seeing the enemy warship approaching, he glanced at Tiger's face and said in his heart.
Then the figure flashed and quickly went to the deck of Tiger's warship.
"Sword of the Dawn, Brigadier General Tiger!"
"You've committed a crime. Come with us!"
Looking at Jin Ke who appeared on the deck of his warship and listening to what he said, Tiger glanced sideways.
"I don't remember doing anything illegal!" Tiger said in a deep voice, putting his hands behind his back.
"Really? Instructing your subordinates to attack the Celestial Dragons' vehicles isn't illegal?"
"This is... a serious crime!"
"Or is this an order from General Tsugikoku-Yoichi?"
As Jin Ke spoke, he pulled out a video-recording device from his pocket, then walked over to the wall and projected the video onto it. The warship's walls were painted white, and while the image wasn't as clear as on a projection screen under the sunlight, if you looked closely, you could still make out the scene clearly.
At the same time, the video-recording telephone bug also had a recording function. When the footage was played, the words Jin Ke said at the time were also played out, and they could be heard clearly even in the roar of the explosion.
"Did you give the order to attack the Celestial Dragon ships, or did Admiral Yoshida Tsugakuni give it?"
"Don't try to completely shirk responsibility. It's just a patrol ship, it can't bear such a serious crime!"
"Tiger...Commodore!"
Jin Ke drew out the word, his eyes sizing up the fishman brigadier general in front of him, his muscles tensed beneath his suit.
The guy in front of him is different from the lieutenant who was dealt with before. Tiger, who was placed in the naval branch of Redchiled Island by Yoshiichi Tsugikuni, is very powerful. His domineering aura can easily cover his whole body. Combined with the natural terrifying power of the fishman, Tiger's combat effectiveness is far beyond that of ordinary naval officers.
Tiger's eyes fell on Jinke. After staring at him for a while, his eyes moved slightly downwards and glanced at the other's right hand. Then he sniffed and his face darkened.
The smell of blood, a very strong smell of blood, and very fresh.
But the smell is very simple. Judging from the smell alone, it is the blood of only one person.
Although he was a snapper merman and his sense of smell could not be compared with those of shark mermen, it was still countless times more sensitive than that of humans. He could still smell the fresh smell of blood from Jin Ke's hand.
But what can be done about this? There is still no way to change the current predicament.
"Commodore Tiger, attacking a World Government ship is a grave crime."
"What's more, there are Celestial Dragons on our ship."
"The only person capable of commanding your Dawn Swords and issuing such an order should be Admiral Tsugikoku Yoshida, right?"
"The man who killed the nobles of the allied nations!"
"This time, he will definitely be expelled from the navy. You, the Swords of Dawn, will all become rebels and be strangled by the World Government!"
Jin Ke narrowed his eyes slightly. The sea breeze blew over from the deck, blowing the pink bangs on his forehead and revealing a slightly hideous lightning-shaped scar.
"No."
"I'm the one who gave the order!"
"General Jiguo Yuanyi, I have no instructions for you."
"My original intention was to stop the attack, not to bombard it. I think there must be a mistake."
Before Tiger could finish his speech, Jin Ke shouted:
"shut up!"
"Are you trying to say it's a misunderstanding?"
"What misunderstanding?"
"As you can see, our ship has stopped to prepare for your navy's investigation, but it still came under fire."
“Still two rounds!”
"Are you trying to use this as a misunderstanding to evade me? Do you think the Celestial Dragons will believe your excuse?!"
"Commodore Tiger, do you want to declare war on the World Government on behalf of the Fishmen?!"
"You don't plead guilty!"
After being accused of several serious crimes, Tiger was immediately speechless.
With his integrity, he would never distort the facts. Now that the other party has the "video", the guilty party is undoubtedly their navy, and the navy under his command.
Tiger's mind was now confused by Jin Ke's questions and he didn't think about the details. He just wanted to prevent this matter from affecting Fishman Island and Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
After a moment of hesitation, Tiger slowly lowered his hands and said in a deep voice:
"All of this is my responsibility."
"I didn't control my subordinates well enough."
