Chapter 417: Kuina’s fate


    Are the cannons ready? Kuina turned and asked the Marine soldiers.


    We are ready, Major! A soldier saluted: Waiting for your orders!


    Thats good! Take aim, then fire! Sink that ship! Kuina pulled out her sword and waved it, pointing to the ship in front.


    The triple-mounted artillery of the Battleship ship, immediately under the adjustment of the gunners, slowly rose up, and waited until the action of the muzzles stopped, then suddenly burst out one after another


    Bang! bang! bang! The three-mounted cannons slightly staggered the firing time andunched three shells directly at the ckbeard Pirates.


    At this time, the distance between Kuinas warship and ckbeard Pirates was still far away, which has exceeded the range of ordinary guns and weapons, this was also the reason why Kuina was so surprised when Vans sniper shot reached her.


    However, the range that ordinary firearms cannot reach does not mean that cannons cannot reach too.


    The first three bursts of shells, because they were test shots, did not hit the ckbeards ship, but fell more than 100 meters from their stern, causing high sshes.


    Recalibrate! The second test firing begins! Fire!


    Kuina calmlymanded, and the angle of the muzzle was lifted again, then firing three more rounds.


    This time, thending point of the shell was closer to Teachs ship.


    Teach and his crew immediately figured out Kuinas intentions, and couldnt help but flinch with hatred. They knew that the female marine on that warship was actually using the mostmonly used artillery cover tactic in the Marines!


    Why are the marines the most powerful naval department in this World? This is not because they have many strong carders, and many devil fruit users, but because their ships have significant firepower!


    Kuina is not stupid. Although she doesnt know what kind of strength the ckbeard Pirates have, but she is sure that these pirates, which are valued by Brother Ian, are definitely not that simple Therefore, from the very beginning, she never thought of fighting the ckbeard Pirates Group. Instead, she made full use of the advantages of Marine warships, andunched a long-range attack on the ckbeard Pirates.


    Admittedly, even the marines cant cope with the strength of some people with devil fruit ability, but that refers mostly tond battles, Devil Fruit Users are at their weakest when sailing in the sea. Because once the boats they are in get sunk by the marines, they will fall into sea, and by then their strong Devil Fruit Ability will fade away


    This is why the pirates are so rampant, but the Marines are still able to catch most of them. The criminals with vicious abilities who were imprisoned on the 4th and 5th floors of the Impel Down Prison are the best evidence.


    Therefore, generally experienced pirates, when encountering a marine battleship at sea, usually choose to run away, because they know very well that they cant win against such ships in a naval battle, especially when their ship is destroyed. The best way to deal with such a situation is to escape quickly or find a way to stop the pursuit of the marines.


    At the moment, Kuina faithfully implemented this tactical concept. Although due to the pursuit, only the three cannons on the bow can carry out the attack, but once a shell hits and injures the ship of the ckbeard Pirates, they will be forced to lower their speed. By that time, Kuina canmand her battleship to catch up, thene aside and align the hull with their boat. At that time, the amount of shelling that can be carried out on the side will be more than three.


    Seeing Kuinas tactical intentions, Teach was very annoyed, but he had nothing to do. His current ship was just an ordinary merchant ship that he snatched, and it became a pirate ship just by hanging his g if it gets hit by a cannonball, its mobility will be quite low.


    Burgess! Bastard, arent you the helmsman? Teach couldnt help cursing: Hurry up and find a way to avoid the shells!


    Captain, Im doing my best! The problem is that it is a headwind now, and our speed is affected! We cant get rid of them! Burgess replied loudly.


    Boom! A shell fell on the side of their ship, and the high sshes it caused fell directly on the deck. The cold-water droplets made Teach shiver uncontrobly! He raised his head to the mast and shouted: Van! Damn it, fight back! Get rid of that female soldier!


    Van did not rey, just raised his sniper and aimed at Kuina on the rear warship.


    Then he fired another!


    Unlike the previous warning shot, Vans bullet was directed at Kuinas vital point.


    However, it was a mistake for Van not to directly attack Kuina before, she has now realized that the ckbeard Pirates group has a powerful sniper, how could she be unprepared?


    Kuina had been on guard very carefully, when Van fired the second shot, a dangerous omen suddenly appeared in Kuinas heart, and then her body subconsciously twisted!


    Then she felt a hot wind passing her chest.


    In the rear cabin wall, there was another small hole, and a marine soldier behind in the same line as Kuina was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt a piercing pain in his arm, and bowed his head. He looked down and found that he had a hole in his shoulder, which appeared out of nowhere!


    The marine soldier suddenly screamed out pitifully, and the ships doctor immediately rushed over, put him to the ground, and knee down to start giving him first aid.


    Everyone! Get down now! Try to hide! Kuina yelled at the marine soldiers: Those who have no task should go back to the cabin immediately. The other party got a skilled sniper!


    Listening to her, a marine captain suddenly came back to his senses and said: Major Kuina, please go back to the cabin with us! Its too dangerous to stay on the deck!


    No! Kuina shook her head and said. There are still soldiers on the deck. If I go back to the cabin, the opponents sniper will attack these soldiers. And if I stay here, they will give priority to attack me. I will make it easier for you to avoid their bullets!


    The marine captain also knows this. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet then said: Ok, Major, be careful, we will sink their ship as soon as possible!


    By the way, did you inform Colonel Smoker? Kuina asked him.


    I cant get in touch with him right now. There may be storms in his area, maybe its due to the impact of the climate. Ill try againter! The captain said: But major, maybe we can try contacting other marine forces of the headquarters. This area is under the jurisdiction of the G-4 branch


    Well, you can make the call! Kuina nodded.


    After part of the soldiers on the deck withdraw, Kuina stood at the bow, let out a long sigh, and looked at the ship of the ckbeard Pirates ahead.


    What just happened now? Kuinas eyes flickered, and she thought to herself: It seems that at the moment the bullet was shot, I felt something different. What the hell was it?


    The bullets fired by Van can exceed the speed of sound, which is the origin of his nickname  The Supersonic, and at such a distance on the sea, a bullet the size of a little fingertip can never be seen by the naked eye, let alone dodged.


    At the very beginning, Kuina couldnt dodge it, but then the second bullet, Kuina was prepared. The sudden warning sign reminded her of the danger, which was a strange feeling


    And this feeling was very unusual, although it passed away in a sh, but Kuinas instinct tells her that this might be the key for her to avoid bullets.


    Holding the Wado Ichimonji with both hands, this de seemed to give Kuina infinite strength. She looked firmly at the ship of the ckbeard Pirates ahead, but hoped that the other party could snipe at her again, so that she can regain the feeling she had just now
