Hawkins' move was actually not difficult to crack. Before being reminded by Kerby, he could tell something was wrong with the soldiers at a glance, proving that even vision interference had an unknown limit.
But as Hawkins said, how many guys like him who have mastered the domineering power of knowledge and color are there in the entire fleet
The biggest advantage the navy has over pirates is its firepower advantage!
Now that the soldiers have become blind, indiscriminate firing of cannons will only accelerate their demise, turning each warship into an island-like existence. Hawkins can take advantage of this opportunity to defeat and separate them one by one with his own undisturbed team. Nibble away!
Look at those soldiers who can't even detect where the enemy is due to problems with their vision. Once a hand-to-hand combat occurs, I believe this process will not last long.
"This ability is perfect for group operations!"
Smoker thought with solemn eyes, and turned around accurately this time to look at Kebi: "You have a very good sense of knowledge, Kebi."
"Then it's your command, I'll deal with Hawkins!"
No matter how suitable the ability is for group operations, there is one problem that cannot be circumvented, that is, facing the opponent's absolute superiority in combat power and leading the hegemony, soldiers will face soldiers against generals. In the end, it is inevitable to have an upright battle!
The ability of the Hermit Scarecrow card can only have a serious impact on ordinary soldiers, so speaking from a ten thousand step back, even if the soldiers are completely wiped out as a result, Smoker may not be in trouble and must deal with it alone.
If they can't solve it, they will still fail.
Smoker wanted to advance this process and end the battle quickly.
Hearing this, Kebi nodded quickly: "I understand! Be careful Lieutenant General, he just said that this is just a type of support card."
"Ah, indeed."
Smoker took a deep puff and smoked out the cigar, a large amount of white smoke flowing out of the corner of his mouth.
"But I won't give him that chance..."
…
"fire!!"
Bang!
Boom! !
The explosion and flames caused the warship to deflect, and the ship let out an overwhelmed scream.
But soon the pirates discovered with a headache that these warships... were so tough!
The armor plates are unreasonably thick!
Compared with the other party, the thing under their feet can only be called rotten wood!
If they wanted to sink a warship with their firepower, each ship would have to fire at least dozens of rounds to make the warship leak from all directions.
But there is a fact that they don't have enough ammunition.
"Boss Hawkins, the ammunition has been transported back to Wano. We forgot to bring the ammunition!"
In fact, if the opponent is a pirate, then their ammunition capacity is completely sufficient, and with several pirate ships dispatched collectively, they can fight against the red-haired Redfors.
However, the technological level gap between the enemy and ourselves is too large, and the battle damage is not proportional. This amount of ammunition is of little use and is worrying.
"It's not that easy after all, Navy!"
Hearing this, Hawkins' expression remained calm, but his tone was inevitably a little more solemn.
After pondering for a moment, Hawkins decisively ordered.
"There is no other way, prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"
"Before the Hermit Card expires, cause them as much damage as possible!"
"yes!"
Suddenly, at this moment, a thick fog suddenly appeared on the sea.
"I won't give you a chance, pirates!"
Awakening skills in the foggy world!
There is no good person among the generals in this department who can defeat all opponents and win the position of G11 base commander. Smoker has developed the smoke fruit to the awakening level!
Thick smoke was like a dry ice smoke machine on the stage. It spewed out from Smoker's body, sprinkled on the huge blue glass on the sea, and then quickly enveloped the entire battlefield.
The bright sky turned dark in the blink of an eye, and the white mist obscured the world, making it impossible to see through.
"No, slow down quickly, be careful not to hit me!"
Hawkins was instantly startled and roared loudly.
Given the sturdiness of a naval warship, if an ordinary wooden sailboat like theirs collided with it, the outcome would be no different than an egg hitting a rock.
The fleet's charging steps suddenly stopped, and the pirates drew their weapons as if they were facing a powerful enemy, guarding against the enemy's attack back to back.
Just when Hawkins was unsteady due to the sudden deceleration and the deck was shaking, a huge shadow rushed towards them in the thick fog.
"That's... Smoker?!!"
"Why so big?!"
Awakening the Giant of Techniques!
The mist of smoke made the cloud giant transformed by Smoker seem to be weightless, and it came to Hawkins in the blink of an eye.
"I have to say, your tactics are very good... but now they are mine!"
Smoker didn't give Hawkins any more time to think. He raised his fist after appearing, waved his white fist, and whipped him.
Straw-handled straw knife!
Hawkins did not sit still and wait for death. The weapon in his hand suddenly changed and extended. The five-meter-tall Demon-Conquering Xiang held the handle of the knife and aimed it at the incoming Yun Fist and stirred it repeatedly.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
The straw transformed from the blade bloomed in the thick fog like wildly growing vines. Each straw had extraordinary sharpness. The huge white fist was immediately shattered and scattered.
"I see, you turn the straw into a sword and carry it with you, instead of turning the sword into straw."
Suddenly, a sigh echoed in his ears, and Hawkins turned his head in a state of despair.
White fist wild bite!
"Although it has touched the edge of fruit awakening, it is still not awakening."
Wherever he entered his sight, the white smoke iron fist attacked quickly as if it were alive, tearing out a hole the size of a human head in his huge straw body.
"Only awakening can fight awakening, Hawkins!"
"ah!!!"
The first time he was in Scarecrow's hands, not far away, a pirate screamed and fell to the ground. There was a hole that penetrated his chest, and the traces on the edges could vaguely tell that the flesh and blood had been torn apart by brute force.
Snap!
A palm-sized scarecrow fell out of Hawkins. Taking this opportunity, Hawkins pulled his weapon in front of him and distanced himself.
"What a speed!"
Hawkins' eyes were serious.
Smoker's surprise attack was simply unreasonable. One second he was still a hundred meters away, but the next second he suddenly appeared behind him.
Even if the navy has such inhuman skills as the Six Styles, this kind of speed is too unreasonable!
"Wait, something's wrong!"
Hawkins took the time to look around, stopped looking at the thick fog, and suddenly his eyes widened.
"Impossible, you actually...!!"
"Oh? Did you discover it so quickly? No wonder Kaido valued him and took him as a subordinate. His insight is really extraordinary."
Along with the words, Smoker's figure appeared in mid-air.
The distance of ten meters made it difficult for Hawkins to see his specific expression clearly through the thick fog, but there was no doubt that that was Smoker's true form.
"The Smoke Fruit is a very special natural type fruit. The other natural types, even General Kizaru's Shining Fruit, have a very tight connection between attacks and cannot be interrupted."
"But the smoke is different!"
"The gap it can leave is so big that it can accommodate the rest of the living things."
"This is, my world, Hawkins... you have no chance."
Along with the sound of preaching, Smoker drifted away in the wind and turned into thick fog and disappeared from sight.
"Because you are inside my body!"
Cloud giant!
Above the sky, the sky filled with smoke and clouds gathered again, turning into a giant white object with its lower body covered in a spiral of mist and mist, and its upper body exposed, and it punched Hawkins down.
