Chapter 370: Bullet's Thoughts on the Future!
It was very strange.
Just a moment ago, the sky was very clear, and warm sunlight shone down. After walking for a while, you would start to feel hot, but the azure sky paired with a few large white clouds was also a beautiful sight.
For London, which was always rainy, this could be said to be quite rare good weather.
But now, in the blink of an eye, it suddenly became covered in dark clouds, gloomy and oppressive, a vast, dark expanse that seemed to cover the entire sky, making people feel a bit breathless.
This was what a middle-aged Gentleman in a sharp suit by the River Thames felt.
He, along with the nearby men and Ladies, looked up at the thick black clouds overhead, their faces full of surprise.
It wasn't just here.
Professors and students at Oxford University, Citizens riding in carriages on Tower Bridge, and believers walking out of St. Paul's Cathedral together.
Even the guards standing guard and training inside Hampton Court Palace, all noticed the strange situation with the sky.
It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the dark clouds themselves, but that they appeared too suddenly, giving the feeling that there was no transition at all.
"Look!"
"What is that!"
In the center of London City, on Trafalgar Square.
A blonde Girl nestled in her boyfriend's arms, with her back to the fountain lake and the statue column of General Nelson, suddenly raised her finger and shouted.
Her tall and handsome curly-haired boyfriend, along with the people around him, looked in the direction she pointed, but saw nothing but dark clouds.
But just as people started to feel dissatisfied and were preparing to look at the Girl with reproachful gazes.
A hint of blue suddenly appeared in their line of sight, like a small azure Fish that seemed to leap once in that ocean of black clouds, and then disappeared again.
But this time, many people saw it.
Was it a Bird?
"Ahhhhhh!!"
Suddenly, Screams began to ring out, because that hint of blue grew larger, or rather, it stretched out from the dark clouds—it was a claw with five fingers!
"Oh God"
"How is this possible?"
Exclamations rose and fell, and the entire atmosphere of London became restless. People outside the Buildings no longer walked around, but stared dumbfounded at the sharp claws and long tail covered in blue scales, appearing and disappearing in the dark clouds.
"A Snake?"
"It seems to be a Giant Blue Snake!"
"My heavens, such a big Snake, and it can fly in the Sky?"
The Gentlemen, Ladies, and Children of the entire City simply didn't know what to do. If you say call the Police, didn't you see they were also dumbfounded?
Just at this moment, four Biplanes flew over from the direction of the Port of London. Their Target was precisely the 'Giant Blue Snake' in the black clouds.
Of course.
They just wanted to take a few photos up close, and then return to the Base to hand them over to the Higher-ups.
As for attacking, don't even think about it. These Airplanes, aside from the Pistols carried by the pilots, were not equipped with any Weapons at all, and the Ground Troops were even more helpless.
The current Great John Bull Empire does not yet have Weapons that can reach High Altitude.
However, the Great Hans Tiger Empire across the English Channel has them. Seven years ago, they manufactured Cannons specifically used for Shooting Airplanes and airships, and it is said that the maximum Range reached four kilometers.
Then five years ago, they continued to improve, manufacturing Anti-Aircraft Guns with a sixty-five millimeter Caliber, a larger field of fire, and a maximum Range exceeding five kilometers!
[Whirring...]
In the High Altitude, below the black clouds, those four Biplanes, driven by their front Propellers, approached little by little.
Just at this moment, watched by all of London.
A blue-scaled 'Snake' head, with a pair of Buffalo Horns on its forehead but a pair of Goat Horns on top of its head, peered out of the Cloud Layer. That terrifying gaze stared at the four Airplanes.
"Is this an Airplane? It looks no different from a Little Flying Insect."
As soon as Kaido spoke, it was like an invisible mental Impact, making the Men, Women, Old and Young in the entire City below even more shocked. Their Three Views, which were already severely shaken, were completely shattered on the ground.
"It...it seems to be Speaking!"
"Ah, what language is this? It's a bit Familiarize..."
"Foot Basin Chicken language, right? I'm not very sure."
Just as everyone began to discuss animatedly, Kaido, however, opened that Gaping Maw, in which a ball of dazzling Gunfire Flash began to brew.
He was preparing to give the Capital of this country, which is said to be the World's Strongest, a sufficiently magnificent meeting gift.
This gift was Boro Breath!
[Roar----]
An incredibly hot and incredibly bright giant pillar of Flame, as if gushing down from a Waterfall above the nine heavens. That red Gunfire Flash shone on the Faces of the people below, and they immediately felt a gust of hot wind blowing towards them.
In the blink of an eye, the four Biplanes attempting to escape were first engulfed in Flame. Immediately after, the heaven-piercing pillar of Flame was like a Blade dropped by God, drawing a burning diagonal line in London Fortress. All the Buildings and living beings along the way were all burned to ashes in the Tsunami-like Sea of Fire.
"Oh God"
In the upper levels of the Castle at Hampton Court Palace, the current King of John Bull, tightly holding the Empress's hand, watched this scene in Fear.
"Could this be the Divine Punishment you have sent down? But what Crime have we committed?"
At the same time.
The Great Hans Tiger Empire, separated from the Great John Bull Empire only by the English Channel, in a place on its Homeland called Saxony.
Over a hundred thousand Army Units and a large number of Cannon positions were launching a fierce attack towards a Colossus covered all over with Cannon Barrels and Gun Barrels, as if formed by the convergence of a large amount of earth and stone.
Because behind them was the Capital Berlin!
In addition to this, more Troops and more Cannons were still pouring in from Various Places across the Country!
It's worth noting that they, who were known as the World's number one Army, had over eight hundred thousand well-equipped Army Military Strength!
"Hahahaha, it's good that you've come, come even more!"
Douglas Barrett was completely exhilarated, controlling the Cannon Barrels and Gun Barrels on his 'body' and constantly exchanging Cannon Fire with them. Every time the opponent's Cannon Fire exploded on his body, that feeling of Impact would make him even more Excited.
The key was, the quality of these Hans Tiger Military Personnel was very high.
Even when facing a Big Monster like himself, even though tens of thousands had already been killed or wounded, they still endured the Fear, gritted their teeth, and held their Position.
On this point alone, Bullet greatly admired them.
"This is an excellent Military Source!"
He had already dismissed the idea of completely crippling this Hans Tiger Country.
The current Bullet no longer viewed things from a Pirate's perspective, but from the perspective of an Army Lieutenant General, or even a future Army General.
Or rather, simply from the perspective of a 'General'.
The purpose of the World Government has never been to slaughter this World, but Conquest.
In the Future, this World with a large Population will definitely provide them with the Military Strength they need.
Although the Physical Ability of these Otherworlders is very fragile, if they are just used as Soldiers, then as long as they are equipped with corresponding Weapons or operate Armored Vehicles, they can still play a role in a World war.
Which is the so-called Cannon Fodder.
However, not all Cannon Fodder is the same. This Spirit of daring to fight shown by the Hans Tiger people definitely belongs to high-grade Cannon Fodder!
In Bullet's vision, after having enough Cannon Fodder Military Strength in the future, the Sea Star Soldiers on the Homeland should abandon Firearms and instead focus their energy on cultivating Supernatural Power, to become mid-to-high-end Combat Power.
For example, Martial Arts, Swordsmanship, Devil Fruit Ability, and so on.
