Chapter 388: The Marines Opened Fire
On top of the Marine fleet.
Vice Admiral Vergo couldn't help but feel gloomy when he saw the Big Daddy Pirates ignoring his warning.
Moreover, he had already seen the appearance of Basire and Trafalgar Law, and subsequently the cadres of the Big Daddy Pirates also appeared one after another. This situation made his mood hit the bottom.
Their appearance shows that the Donquixote Family has really been defeated by the Big Daddy Pirates, and Doflamingo has most likely been captured.
Now Vergo doesn't know whether to find a way to save Doflamingo or fight with the Big Daddy Pirates, triggering a war between the Marines and Big Daddy Pirates at the expense of himself and all the Marines in the G5 branch.
He thought for a while and decided to try to save Doflamingo first. If that doesn't work, he will fight with Basire.
"Yonkō Daddy Basire, immediately release the Shichibukai Doflamingo. This is the order of the World Government's Five Elders and Celestial Dragons. Dressrosa can be handed over to you!!"
Vergo shouted loudly on the loudspeaker. Thinking that since the three Marine Admirals have no deterrent effect on the Yonkō, he can only continue to lie and bring up the banner of the World government and Celestial Dragons.
The other marine officials of the G5 branch also frowned as they listened to the words of Base Commander Vergo.
Aren't they mainly here to save the civilians of Dressrosa?
Why is it now about saving Doflamingo, a cruel pirate?
They don't want to fight against a Yonkō for Doflamingo.
At the port of Dressrosa, Basire also laughed when he heard Vergo's shouting.
"Vergo, right? You, the First Generation Corazon of the Donquixote Family, I didn't expect Doflamingo to push you to the high position of Marine Vice Admiral."
"Now do you want all the Marines of the G5 branch to die for your master?"
Basire's loud voice instantly spread throughout the Marines.
After Vergo heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, was he exposed? Was it Doffy? Or did Trebol, Diamante, or Pica leak the secret?
The Rear Admiral, Commodore, and captain-level officers on the nine Marine warships all looked at Vergo with wide eyes, and at the same time looked at Basire with questioning eyes.
Could this be Basire's plan to trick them?
"Everyone has an order, please don't believe the despicable pirate's plan to alienate us, open fire!!"
Vergo knew that if he continued like this, he would really be doomed. Not to mention rescuing Doflamingo, he would also die a worthless death.
He also gave up on saving Doflamingo, hoping that Doflamingo would be happy for his sacrifice. He would use his own life to trigger a war between the Marines and the Big Daddy Pirates to avenge the Donquixote Family.
"fire!!"
"fire!!"
···
Under Vergo's order, many artillerymen who did not react had already obeyed the order of their base commander and opened fire instantly.
The intensive artillery fire from nine warships opened fire rapidly under the order of Vice Admiral Vergo.
Countless black shells formed a black screen of artillery fire, covering Dressrosa.
"Base commander Vergo, the people in Dressrosa haven't been evacuated yet, why did you order the artillery fire so quickly?!"
Two Marine Rear Admirals and a Marine Commodore shouted loudly to Vergo through the den den mushi. They knew that opening fire on the Yonkō would not be of much use at all, but would accidentally injure a large number of civilians.
He would rather let the Yonkō capture the Shichibukai Doflamingo and leave Dressrosa than start a war with the Big Daddy Pirates and harm a large number of civilians.
"Just obey the order! If I tell you to fire, you have to fire! Otherwise, I will deal with you according to wartime military law and shoot you to death!"
Vergo ordered with murderous intent. After hearing this, the three people's expressions suddenly changed, and they immediately became silent.
However, they have shown justice and mercy in front of the Marine soldiers. If Vice Admiral Vergo is really Doflamingo's undercover spy, then after Vergo escapes or steps down, they will have the opportunity to ascend to a higher position.
Moreover, they gave their cronies a look on board their warships and were ready to evacuate at any time.
After all, the opponent is the famous Yonkō Big Daddy Basire, the legendary four-fruit ability user!
···
At the port of Dressrosa, seeing the Marines really dared to take the lead in opening fire, the faces of the officers of the Big Daddy Pirates also changed strangely.
"This kind of lineup of artillery can only bully slow pirate ships, islands that have no ability to resist, or those short-handed pirates. But since you fired first, don't blame me for showing mercy!"
Basire sneered. Originally, he only wanted to kill Vergo, but now that everyone has opened fire, there was no choice. Even if he had guessed that Vergo wanted to drag the Marines from the G5 branch to be buried with him, so what.
He dared to destroy Marineford and attack Impel Down. Why wouldn't he dare to destroy a G5 branch?
If Akainu angers Basire, he will still dare to destroy the newly built Naval Headquarters!
'Air shock!'
Basire punched the air, causing the entire space and sea to tremble. A large number of shells exploded in the air, putting on a brilliant display of fireworks for everyone.
A tsunami quickly formed and advanced towards the Marine fleet.
"It's the Captain's tremor fruit power!"
"It's been a long time since I've seen Captain Basire cause a tsunami!"
Penguin and Shachi screamed excitedly. This terrifying ability to destroy the world is still fresh in their memories.
Fortunately, they are crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates. If they were enemies of Captain Basire, they would definitely be very desperate when faced with such a huge tsunami.
"Is it another case of one person destroying all the enemies? You really don't want to let others have fun!"
Zoro was just about to draw his sword and chop down these cannonballs, but he didn't expect that Basire treated them like fireworks and made them explode in the blink of an eye.
"What? You haven't adapted to Captain Basore's rhythm yet?"
Lafitte said with a smile, if you can win by lying down, why should you fight so hard?
"Zoro, why don't we challenge the Three Sweet Commanders and the Three Disasters next time?"
The mad monk Urouge suddenly said to Zoro, his tone full of temptation. Now that the fourth dessert commander has been beaten by him, he still wants to continue to work hard.
"Interesting! Remember to call me next time!!"
Zoro's eyes lit up. Since Urouge defeated Charlotte Snack, his reputation has skyrocketed, and the bounty has soared to 500 million Beris, surpassing Zoro, Jinbe, and Trafalgar Law.
This makes Zoro, Hawkins, and Apoo envious. They also want to be famous and do something big.
