Naruto's Journey to Training

Chapter 266: Bombardment of Marinford

On the vast sea.

Dozens of ironclad warships were sailing through the vast ocean, cutting through the wind and waves, heading towards their designated target, the Navy Headquarters.

The ferocious muzzle of the gun made many pirates who got the news around swallow their saliva.

The scene was so spectacular that even though they were far away, they could easily feel through the telescope the oppressive feeling that seemed to crush everything.

Yu was wearing a white windbreaker embroidered with gold thread edges, and he stood upright on the deck of the ironclad ship.

His black hair fluttered gently in the sea breeze. He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sea with sharp eyes.

As the fleet moved forward at a speed of thirty knots, the towering fortress of the Navy Headquarters soon came into sight.

Mei Terumi stood behind Yu holding a telescope, her expression slightly shocked.

"Is this the headquarters of the Navy in this world?!"

It must be said that the huge fortress of the Navy Headquarters gave her a visual impact.

There's a hint of solemnity in that majestic aura, which gives people who see it for the first time a sense of inexplicable oppression and suffocation.

However, this feeling of suffocation and oppression only stayed in Terumi Mei's heart for a moment before disappearing without a trace.

After all, if the empire wanted to build such a fortress, it would only take a few months to stand up. However, compared with the wars in the ninja world where all the ninjas are fighting, the practicality of such a fortress is not very great.

At the same time, after receiving the news, Sora and Garp, who had already brought a large number of navy officers to the headquarters fortress, also saw the spires of the Imperial armored fleet emerging from the sea.

This moment also had a great impact on them as the ship slowly emerged from the sea level.

The hundreds of meters long hull and the stacked turrets made them feel the heaviness and oppression of steel.

Looking at the speed of the ironclad fleet which far exceeded that of wooden sailing ships, the pupils of a rear admiral shrank.

"What kind of power do they rely on? They don't have huge sails, but they can still travel so fast!"

The rear admiral's eyes were filled with confusion, but no one could help him at this moment.

The overall technology of this world is not backward, but I don’t know if it is due to restrictions by the world government, a lot of technology is used for inexplicable things.

Although this world is made up of many islands, the world's navigation is still based on the backward medieval sailing ships.

Gang Gukong looked at the major general with a puzzled expression.

"Now is not the time to study this. Immediately order all soldiers to aim the anti-city artillery and stop them from moving forward!"

"Yes! Marshal!"

After saying that, the rear admiral quickly took out a Den Den Mushi.

"Everyone listen up! Aim at the opposing fleet and fire immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the call ended, all the anti-fortress guns on the Navy Headquarters Fortress were aimed at the Imperial Navy warships, and heavy artillery fire was fired.

One after another, black shells were fired towards the imperial warships.

Seeing this, Mei Terumi immediately turned on the communicator pinned to her chest.

"Everyone, dodge! Aim at the enemy's artillery point and counterattack freely!"

"Yes, Ship No. 1 received it!"

"Ship No. 2 receives!"

......

As the order was issued, the Imperial Navy quickly dispersed its formation, and with the speed of the warships, it suddenly braked, causing large waves, and completed a Z-shaped turn to avoid large-scale artillery fire.

The shells fell into the sea, splashing large columns of water.

Even if one or two shells hit the ironclad ship occasionally, they would only leave a shallow crater on the hull and have no effect on the entire ship.

Even if they fell on the deck, the navy soldiers on it could rely on their strength as mid-level and senior ninjas to quickly dodge out of the explosion range.

Gang Gukong and others saw that the armored fleet on the opposite side dispersed its formation at an extremely fast speed, and then the ships moved sideways, with the thick gun muzzles turning and aiming at them.

Gang Gu Kong's pupils shrank. He originally thought that the ships on the other side were at most iron-clad wood, just to be mysterious.

But after this round of bombardment, he could see that the ships on the opposite side were actually made entirely of steel.

"With such a heavy weight, how do they manage to float on the sea?"

However, before he could figure out the problem, the opposing fleet opened fire, and the huge sound of the artillery shook the sky.

Even the ship's body couldn't help but move slightly a few meters on the sea surface.

The bullets pierced the air like huge arrows, and with a sharp whistling sound, they suddenly hit the walls of the fortress.

With a thunderous roar, the fortress walls that were once considered indestructible and impregnable seemed to become fragile at this moment.

It was like a shoddy construction. With a loud "boom", the huge and thick city wall was instantly blown into pieces, with holes and pits everywhere, rubble flying everywhere, and dust flying everywhere.

In front of this thrilling scene, countless naval soldiers guarding around the anti-ship guns widened their eyes in horror.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief as they watched helplessly as the defensive formula they relied on was destroyed so easily.

However, before they could react, even more terrifying shelling began.

The gun muzzles of the ships on the opposite side were laying eggs, with hardly a second's interval between each other.

The sky was instantly covered with a barrage of bullets.

The extremely terrifying explosion swept in with overwhelming force, ruthlessly devouring everything around it.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the entire fortress fell into chaos and destruction.

Those naval soldiers with dazed eyes didn't even have time to let out a final scream before they were blown to pieces in the earth-shaking explosion.

However, the opponent's artillery shells seemed endless. Once they opened fire, they would continue. When the earth-shaking explosion finally died down for a while.

Many surviving sailors raised their heads in fear and looked blankly, only to see that at this moment, the fortress walls that were originally extremely solid and towering into the clouds had become completely unrecognizable!

As if being squeezed fiercely by an invisible giant hand, countless huge and hideous cracks appeared on the wall.

In some places, entire blocks of land even collapsed, raising clouds of dust and rubble.

The defensive fortifications that were originally neatly arranged on the city wall have been scattered, and some have been blown to pieces, leaving only a pile of ruins;

Some of them leaned to one side, as if they would collapse completely at any time. From a distance, the entire city wall had lost its former majesty and solemnity.

Instead, there is a scene of desolation and ruin that is shocking.

Looking at the billowing smoke rising from the opposite side, Yu curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer.

Facing the counterattack of the Imperial Fleet's rapid-fire artillery, the entire naval base can actually be destroyed very easily. After all, a backward fleet like the Navy can be destroyed by something like the Demon Slayer Order.

What's more, the Empire's more advanced fleet can bombard the entire naval headquarters continuously for a whole day as long as he wants.

But this time they didn't come here simply to kill, but more to destroy the world government's last trump card.

Or maybe Yu has his eyes on the entire navy and wants to recruit them for his own use, but this depends on whether these navy members know how to do practical things.

"keep going!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The Imperial Fleet quickly gathered its formation and headed towards the Navy Headquarters again.
