Chương 1668: Napoleon VS Blackbeard (1)

Davout was full of confidence in Napoleon's strength. He believed that as long as the captain took action, no enemy would be able to resist.

"I'm worried about you!"

Napoleon looked at Davout and his men with a serious expression and spoke slowly.

"I can barely hold off Blackbeard, but his men are no pushovers! They are all tough guys from Impel Down, and none of them are easy to mess with!"

Napoleon was quite confident in his own strength. After all, he had experienced countless storms.

However, the same cannot be said for the fishmen under his command.

He had three capable men under his command, namely Murat, Davout and Narra.

Among them, the strongest Murat is only at the level of lieutenant general, and among the lieutenant generals, he is still relatively weak.

As for Dawu and Nara, their strength is only at the level of elite lieutenant generals.

Of course, Napoleon knew very well that if his current strength was the only thing he had, he would never let these people take risks with him.

Fortunately, although Murat, Davut and Nara are not very strong on land, their strength in the sea will be raised to a higher level.

This is the natural advantage that fish-men have in the sea, and it is also the reason why Napoleon dared to lead this group of people to find the Blackbeard Pirates.

On the rough sea, Napoleon showed great courage and decisiveness, and he even dared to confront the powerful navy head-on.

Napoleon was not afraid of opponents like the Blackbeard Pirates.

"Don't worry, Captain!"

Nara said, patting his chest confidently.

"If the situation gets bad, we will immediately jump into the sea. The sea is our world!"

His words were full of confidence and pride, as if this ocean was the exclusive territory of them, the fishmen.

Hearing Nara's words, the other fishmen also echoed him, and their voices intertwined in the sound of the waves.

"Yes, we are the sons of the sea!"

A fishman stood on the deck and said with his head held high.

"In the sea, no one can match us fishmen!"

These fishmen are all old subordinates who have followed Napoleon on the sea for four or five years. They have a tacit understanding and cooperate with each other seamlessly.

The power of the merfolk themselves is ten times stronger than that of humans. After several years of fighting at sea, their strength has been greatly enhanced.

Compared with the elite in the navy, these murlocs are ten times stronger.

And in the sea, their strength will double.

It can be said that each of the two or three hundred fish-man pirates under Napoleon possesses the strength of a colonel.

Together with their respective captains and small leaders, the overall strength of this Fish-Man Pirate Group is terrifying.

After four or five years of development, the small group led by Napoleon has gradually shown signs of transforming into an emperor-class pirate group.

Under the leadership of Napoleon, this gang continued to grow and its strength increased.

Napoleon himself was already quite powerful, and could even barely compete with some weaker generals.

Not only that, he also has a group of fish-men subordinates who are at the colonel level in the sea, which greatly enhances the combat effectiveness of the entire gang.

Napoleon is now strong enough to compete with the Red Hair Pirates, which are relatively weaker among the Three Emperors.

Although they may be slightly inferior in terms of middle-level cadres, when the strength of the captains of both sides is equal, Napoleon's lower-level pirates are definitely stronger than the Red Hair Pirates.

It can be said that the Lion Pirates are only one step away from becoming a true emperor-class pirate group, and this one step difference lies in the combat power of the middle and senior levels.

However, Napoleon was full of confidence in himself. He firmly believed that as long as he could defeat Blackbeard, his strength would be qualitatively improved, and he would truly become a member of the Imperial Pirate Group.

By then, he will be able to occupy an important route in the paradise, expand the territory of the Rockefeller Kingdom, and establish his own hegemony.

Thinking of this, Napoleon couldn't help but feel heroic. He stared at the sea ahead with a sharp gaze, raised a confident smile at the corner of his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Wahahahahaha, good brother, then let the storm in the sea be more violent!"

……

A few days later, the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and the sea was sparkling.

However, this peaceful scene is about to be broken.

A huge ship flying a black pirate flag, like a ferocious lion, broke into the Blackbeard Pirates' territory - Crane Island.

The pirate ship broke through the waves without hesitation and headed straight for the port, as if it had no respect for the owner here.

"Run! Pirates are coming ashore!"

The workers in front of the port shouted in fear. They were all too familiar with this scene.

These people who have been working at the port all year round recognized the pirate flag at a glance and knew what it meant - the pirates are about to come ashore!

In an instant, the originally busy port fell into chaos.

The workers fled in panic, fearing that they would be caught up in this sudden pirate attack.

Sure enough, just as the port workers fled in all directions like a flock of frightened birds, two deafening cannon shots suddenly rang out.

The two shells were like two roaring fire dragons, cutting through the sky and smashing straight into the port.

"Bang! Bang!"

After two loud bangs, raging flames and billowing smoke suddenly rose over the port.

The shock wave generated by the explosion was like a powerful hurricane, sweeping across the entire port and shaking the surrounding buildings and ships.

This sudden explosion not only engulfed the port in flames, but also caused a strong shock to the Blackbeard Pirates' base stationed on Crane Island.

The cadre of the Blackbeard Pirates stationed on Crane Island is none other than the Blackbeard Pirates' number one captain, Champion Gizas Badgers.

At this moment, he was exercising in the gym, sweating profusely. He lifted the barbell in his hand easily, showing his amazing strength.

However, the sound of the cannon was like a bolt from the blue, breaking the silence in the gym.

Badgers suddenly put down the barbell in his hand and looked out the window in astonishment.

"Where did the gunfire come from?"

There was a hint of alarm in Badgers' voice, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Before he could react, a lookout rushed in and shouted in fear: "Sir, sir, something bad has happened. Pirates are invading!"

"Pirates? Haha, aren't we pirates?"

Badgers laughed and slammed his fists into his palms, making a "bang bang" sound.
