NOVEL NEXT Chapter 45: 045 Buster Call
Their hearts are not united; some are loyal to the World Government, and there are multiple factions.
And without formal sources of military funding, it would be difficult to survive.
As for wanting to start their own operation? That's overthinking; the World Government won't just give up its resources.
Lynch also understood the difficulties of past Fleet Admirals.
If Marines want to become completely independent, they will face three important problems.
The issue of funding is also the biggest problem.
Eliminate dissidents. For Marine to be independent, it must remove certain unscrupulous elements. This process would likely weaken Marine by about one-third.
Face three dangers.
Once Marine becomes independent, both the revolutionary army, pirates and the world government will become enemies.
"Forget it, I'm not even an Admiral yet, so why bother with this?" Lynch thought.
What makes Lynch more gratefull is that Sengoku is obviously on his side.
Sending Momonga as leader instead of Rudolf indirectly showed Sengoku's dissatisfaction with the World Government.
Arriving on the warship, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
The tens of thousands of troops were completely silent
Truly worthy of being Marine's most elite unit.
Momonga silently gave the order, and the warship set sail.
Monopon Island is far from Marine Headquarters. They will probably arrive tomorrow morning.
Those on the island likely have no idea that when they wake up, they will be greeted by death.
At night, Gion found Lynch alone.
The two of them fell into silence on the deck looking at the night sky.
"I once went to Monopon Island to catch pirates. The people there are kind, and their way of life is simple," Gion remarked sadly.
"Are you questioning your sense of justice?" Lynch asked.
"Yes, did you see that?"
"Those people are clearly unarmed civilians, yet they face the threat of death just for sheltering a little girl. Do you think it's ridiculous?"
"Even if they're hunting down a criminal, common people should not be involved. The common people are innocent." Gion said sadly.
"The World Government has done this repeatedly. Have you ever considered the high-ranking officials, some of whom are Celestial Dragons?"
Lynch replied, looking at her, and gently hugged Gion's slender waist.
"We can't choose the path of our predecessors, but we can shape our own path"
"You and I are the Rear Admiral now, who knows what the Marine's future will be."
"If one day, you and I are Admiral or even Fleet Admiral, then you can try to turn your ideas into reality."
"In this world, strength is the basis for everything, and no one will pay attention to the thoughts of the weak."
"Can you understand what I say?"
After Lynch spoke, Gion's eyes brightened, as if she had found her purpose, shedding her previous despondency.
"For our future, for the people ahead," Gion said, extending her fist to bump Lynch's.
"Let's do this."
…
The next day, on Monopon Island,
Within the kingdom,
After the morning light broke through the thick sea fog.
Some hard-working farmers were already tending to their fields, cultivating acres of land.
"Look, is something coming towards us on the sea?"
The residents asked as they gulped their water bottle, squinting at the horizon.
Ten huge warships were like ten huge monsters, slowly approaching.
"Quick! Go and inform the King that there is an invasion!"
…
Monopon Island is a small nation with a population of only about a million.
They don't have great military strength, with only a few capable of using Haki.
Using Buster Call against such a low-level country is a complete one-sided massacre.
"Fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
No need for anyone to land on the island. The most terrifying aspect of Buster Call is its bombardment, unleashing devastating firepower from afar.
At Momonga's order, five hundred cannons launched a carpet bombing towards Monopon Island at the same time.
Some Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals who still have conscience turned their heads away and couldn't bear to look directly.
Vice Admirals are prepared to deal with powerful opponents.
In the current situation, there is no need for them to take action.
Since Buster Call bombs areas based on areas, after the bombing, there will be no living souls on the entire island.
It was precisely because of the orderly bombing that the people of the Kingdom were given some time to escape.
The old king swore to live and die with the kingdom, sacrificing his chance to live for his people.
All the civilians and officials boarded the five refuge ships and gradually moved away along the sea.
Momonga kept his eyes closed tightly, as if he didn't see the refugees ship and ignored it, allowing them to escape.
"Asshole! What are you doing? If you let those criminals go, can you bear the responsibility if something goes wrong?!"
"I think you have evil intentions. I will report this matter to the World Government."
Rudolf tried to distract Momonga, wanting to use his communication device, and issued the order.
"Fire! Target the refugee ship!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After the ferocious bombardment, the refuge ships were left with a cloud of dust.
The sea turned blood red.
At this point, a country with a million people was all dead in less than an hour.
This is the power of Buster Call.
No wonder those countries are so afraid of Buster Call.
The burning fire on Monopon Island was deeply imprinted in Lynch's eyes.
The mission was completed, and just as the ten warships were about to turn around and go back, a hearty laugh came from a distance.
"Hahahaha, look what we met, Buster Call, what kind of trash is that?"
"Hahahaha, Boss Quinn is right!"
A pirate ship that was as big as a Buster Call warship approached.
There was a fat man standing on the bow of the ship with a Gatling gun in his hand.
"Beasts Pirates!"
Everyone in Marine was shocked when they saw the flag on the pirate ship.
"Why did you bump into them here?"
"Quinn, one of the Three Disasters, is here. Aren't they supposed to stay in the New World? Are they here to die?"
"I'm laughing so hard. Now even stray cats and dogs dare to challenge Buster Call"Rudolph laughed
"We have five Vice Admirals, ten Rear Admirals, and 10,000 elite soldiers here, not to mention a mere Quinn. So what if Kaido comes?"
"Since we've met here, there's no need for him to leave."
"All Vice Admirals! We need to capture Quinn alive."
"He's the technical advisor for the Beasts Pirates and knows all of Kaido's secrets."
After Rudolph finished speaking passionately, his expression darkened when he realized no one was paying attention to him.
"Go ahead, maybe we can use Quinn against the Beast Pirates."
It was the Momonga that spoke, and five Vice Admirals joined forces to use Moonwalk to rush towards Quinn's ship.
"I'll be damned! You Marines are five against one and still trying to save face?"
When Quinn saw this, he cursed.
Even he couldn't handle five Vice Admirals alone.
Tu tu tu tu~
Before anyone could get close, Quinn raised his Gatling Gun and opened fire.
Marine soldiers still used flintlock guns, while pirates had Gatling guns.
Lynch didn't know what to say for a moment.
The Vice Admirals easily dodged the bullets and landed on the pirate ship one by one.
