Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 176: We are the ones who will laugh in the end! (Second update request)

In this vast sea, the transmission of information has never been an easy task.

The Den Den Mushi is not a real telephone. Its "frequency" is limited, and it cannot achieve communication across all locations.

Even in Zhao Xu's previous life, maritime communication relied on satellites, land-based stations, ships, and vessels.

Compared to land, even without mountains or other obstacles to block signals, maritime communication is more troublesome.

In various kingdoms, there are many news agencies that have established relatively complete communication systems.

But at sea, one can only rely on news birds that come at unknown times to learn some information.

Unfortunately, after the battle with the Four Emperors, although many intelligence officers worked hard to disseminate the situation, all the news agencies and other entities recognized the changes brought about by the fall of the Four Emperors.

However, even if they hurriedly tried to transmit the news the next day, the people of the Germa Kingdom still did not receive enough new information.

And then, they made this mistake.

Actually, it can't be called a mistake. Who could have predicted such a result before this battle?

Judge himself had the idea of relying on Charlotte Linlin to regain dominance over the North Blue. Now that he has caught an opportunity to curry favor with Charlotte Linlin, how could he not take action?

Without knowing the situation of that battle, his actions were actually reasonable.

"If we slowly establish contact with Charlotte Linlin, even if both sides have intentions, the constant adjustment will still require a lot of time," Judge thought to himself.

"But if we take advantage of this opportunity to fight against Gilgamesh, we can quickly narrow the distance between us!"

"For this, it's worth it!"

In fact, his thinking was not wrong. Judge had long wanted to gain Charlotte Linlin's support and take control of the North Blue. But it would take several years before the marriage between Sanji and Pudding could be arranged.

There was no other way. The alliance between two forces would inevitably encounter various troubles, and conflicts would arise during the adjustment period.

Perhaps at the beginning, Charlotte Linlin also wanted to join forces with Judge, just like Kaido and Wano Country. But due to the failure to adjust properly, she ultimately decided to take direct action.

Of course, it's useless to talk about these things now.

"Attack!" Judge waved his hand, and the ships of the Germa Kingdom immediately opened fire.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The cannons roared.

As someone who had the qualifications and confidence to join forces with the Four Emperors, Judge indeed had considerable capital. Vinsmoke Judge had previously worked with Dr. Vegapunk in an illegal research team.

Vegapunk discovered the "Lineage Factor" of the "Life Design Map," and when the World Government discovered this, they disbanded the organization and took Vegapunk and his team away, but Judge managed to escape.

In the end, Vegapunk unlocked the conditions for transmitting Devil Fruit abilities, allowing objects to possess Devil Fruit powers.

And Vinsmoke Judge, on the other hand, researched "Clone Soldiers," "Modified Humans," and weapons such as battle suits.

Although he may look rough, he is a very formidable scientist!

With his technology, he formed the military power of the Germa Kingdom!

Soldiers who are absolutely obedient and have a strong sense of combat.

Children equipped with weapons developed by himself.

An army with a strong sense of combat from years of warfare...

"Even if Gilgamesh is strong, we can retreat!" Judge thought to himself, "By joining Charlotte Linlin, we can use this as a reason to get closer to her!"

"Benefit without harm, let's do it!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The artillery on the sea continued to roar.

Battles at sea often begin with the roar of cannonballs.

And compared to ships and cannons, Judge was confident that he would not lose!

In fact, it was true. As soon as the artillery battle began, Gilgamesh's ships began to shake, and many other ships carrying sailors were hit.

"He actually dared to attack." Gilgamesh was momentarily stunned but didn't forget what he should do now.

"Doflamingo, Shiryu."

"My king, we're here." Doflamingo and Shiryu both stepped forward.

"Deal with them."

"Yes!"

Soon, a figure danced in the sky and flew towards Jelma's ship.

There was also someone riding a small boat, braving the wind and waves, heading straight there.

"Hmm?" Judge frowned, "It's Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo and Rain Shiryu...."

"Fire! Don't let them get close!"

He knew he had to take these renowned pirates seriously.

Of course...

"If they come up, should we leave them behind?" Judge pondered inwardly.

Inside Gilgamesh's ship.

"Hey, aren't you going out?" Perona couldn't help but ask.

"Why should I go out?" Gilgamesh leisurely held a wine glass.

Perona said, "Your subordinates are fighting, you know?"

Gilgamesh calmly said, "If I have to personally intervene in such a small battle, then I don't need such subordinates."

Perona tilted her head in confusion, looking cute and silly.

But...

Three minutes later, she suddenly noticed that the sound of cannon fire outside had diminished.

After another five minutes, the cannon fire gradually ceased.

Two minutes later, Shiryu and Doflamingo returned to the ship.

"My king, the situation has been resolved."

"Hmm." Gilgamesh nodded, "What's the result?"

"It's embarrassing. We left a few of their ships behind, but Judge and his children didn't stay." Doflamingo shrugged, "They sent a group of fearless soldiers to distract us and took the opportunity to escape."

If they really wanted to chase, they could have caught up.

After all, Doflamingo could fly.

But he wasn't kind enough to sacrifice himself and give others a chance.

Gilgamesh casually said, "Couldn't completely annihilate the enemy... oh well."

"In consideration of not letting the blood of the monks fly around in front of me, you may leave."

This matter didn't need much attention in the first place.

On the other side, Judge's face was black.

What a loss!

Such a big loss!

He brought over twenty ships and half of them were left behind.

If he hadn't made a quick decision, sacrificing many ships and soldiers as cannon fodder, and quickly escaped himself, everyone would have been left behind!

The lower-level combat power of Germa was not a problem.

But the higher-level combat power, Shiryu and the others, could easily defeat them!

Especially now that Reiju and the others hadn't grown up yet, their strength was much weaker than in the future, making it even more difficult to withstand the attacks of Doflamingo and the others.

And yet, Gilgamesh himself hadn't even made a move!

"They truly are renowned powerhouses of the sea, with formidable strength." Judge sighed, looking at his children who were somewhat disheveled, and encouraged them, "Don't worry, they won't be arrogant for long."

"Soon, we will form an alliance with Charlotte Linlin, and even face Gilgamesh himself."

"We will be the ones laughing in the end!"

Judge clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming.

His children nodded in unison.

One day later...

Judge stared blankly at the news in his hand, his face expressionless.

"How is this possible!"
