Chương 1888: Battle of the North Sea (34)

His actions were so swift and decisive that the people in the city were knocked down by the anesthetic gas before they even had time to react.

After completing all this, Robert began to give orders, asking his men to plunder the entire city, leaving no corner untouched.

At the same time, Robert also specifically ordered his men to tie up all the dukes and nobles, and prepare to bring them to Caesar as trophies.

These nobles were originally enjoying a luxurious life in the city, but in an instant they became prisoners and were at the mercy of others.

Compared with Robert's method of silently rendering people unable to resist, his brother Deidara's methods of fighting the enemy seem somewhat brutal.

In another city hundreds of miles away, fierce fighting was in full swing.

The city has such powerful firepower because it is not entirely governed by the Tulip Kingdom.

This city is completely different from other cities. It is more like a free city specially established for merchants.

The city has attracted many businessmen with its unique geographical location and prosperous business environment.

Merchants used this city as their center to conduct various businesses related to the Tulip Kingdom, making the city a hub of commercial activities.

Because merchants often went out to sea to trade, the city also had a strong maritime power.

The city only exists because merchants united to seize the land from the Tulip Kingdom.

In order to protect its own interests and safety, the city recruited a large number of guards, most of whom were merchant ship guards.

Every year, these merchant ship guards have to fight a desperate battle with vicious pirates on the rough seas.

Therefore, they naturally have no shortage of equipment and firepower, and also have a certain combat effectiveness.

When Deidara led his army to attack the city of commerce, the big families and big merchants in the city took action.

Without hesitation they assembled their armed guards, determined to defend their wealth and homes.

The battle scene at this time was extremely fierce, and the sounds of various firearms intertwined together to form a deafening symphony.

The sounds of artillery and gunfire rang out one after another, flames shot up into the sky, and smoke filled the air.

Deidara actually rushed to the front alone. He did not let the army behind him catch up, but planned to rely on his own strength to get rid of these annoying "flies" alone.

Shells and bullets rained down on Deidara, forming an overwhelming firepower network.

Deidara was not afraid at all. He stood there like an indestructible fortress, facing the fierce attack head-on.

Deidara's devil fruit is the bomb fruit, and it has reached the awakened state.

This makes him naturally immune to bullets and shells.

When a large number of bullets and shells hit Deidara's body, they suddenly lost their power as if they were under a spell.

These originally deadly weapons now became like duds and could not cause any harm to Deidara.

The guards on the city wall were stunned when they saw this scene.

They looked at Deidara in disbelief, as if they were seeing a demon from hell.

It was unbelievable that those bullets and shells had no effect on him!

"Shoot! Shoot! I don't believe he's immortal!"

Seeing this, some merchants with fierce looks on their faces angrily ordered their men to continue the attack.

These merchants have been venturing on the rough seas for years, experiencing countless storms, so naturally they are not people to be trifled with.

In this era of rampant pirates, they not only have to deal with various dangers, but also have to compete with other merchants.

Therefore, they have long been accustomed to using tough measures to solve problems.

Some businessmen even engaged in pirate activities in secret, engaging in black-on-black transactions.

Such experiences make them cold-blooded and unscrupulous.

Faced with a powerful enemy like Deidara, they did not retreat. Instead, they ordered their men to continue firing even more fiercely, determined to defeat this monster.

"I think I know who they are?"

The merchant standing on the top of the city wall suddenly shouted, a hint of panic in his voice.

When the other businessmen who were watching the battle nearby heard his words, they immediately turned their eyes to him.

"who are they?"

These people asked eagerly, obviously full of curiosity and concern about the answer.

The businessman took a deep breath and then slowly said, "The Rockefeller Kingdom, the only overlord of the New World, the Rockefeller Kingdom!"

There was a mixture of awe and fear in his tone.

Hearing this name, some businessmen showed confused expressions, obviously they did not know much about the Rockefeller Kingdom.

The expressions of other businessmen changed drastically, as if they had a deep understanding and fear of this name.

"What? The Rockefeller Kingdom?"

Some businessmen murmured to themselves, their voices filled with doubt and confusion.

For these people, the Rockefeller Kingdom may just be a distant existence. They have never really come into contact with this country and are unaware of its strength and influence.

For those businessmen who pay more attention to the world situation, the name of the Rockefeller Kingdom is well-known.

They knew the country's position and influence in the New World and understood the powerful force it represented.

The merchant looked at the flags raised by the army in the distance and the inhuman abilities displayed by Deidara, and the fear in his heart grew stronger.

He couldn't help but recall some rumors and legends about the Rockefeller Kingdom, which made him full of awe for this country.

The World Government intends to block news about the Rockefeller Kingdom, especially in the Four Seas.

This means that many people know very little about this country, and even its name is only occasionally heard in some newspapers about the world government.

The Four Seas are the base of the World Government, which means that the World Government has a very strong control over the Four Seas.

They absolutely do not want news from the outside world to be known to people all over the world, because it may affect their rule.

In some public reports, the World Government does not even allow the words "Rockefeller Kingdom" to appear.

This has led to people all over the world living in an information cocoon, with very limited knowledge of information from the outside world.

This situation is very common throughout the Sihai region.

Take the example in the original work. Before entering the New World, the Straw Hat Pirates didn't even know what the Four Emperors were.

This is enough to show how serious the world government's blockade of newspapers and information is, which has reached a shocking level.
