Chapter 252: The War

Chapter 252: The War

On the bottom floor of Onigashima, the war still rages on. Both sides are giving their all to defeat their enemies. They all go for the kill and no one shows mercy to their enemies. It's kill or gets killed in this war.

The Clowns also give their all and attack any enemy in their sight. But they don't just attack blindly, they attack strategically. They work together with their crewmates to increase their winning chance.

The ones on the front will strike and hold their enemies in close combat. But they won't exert too much energy to avoid getting exhausted. They will try to save their energy but will still go for the kill if they have the chance.

While the ones in the front hold their enemies, the ones in the back will provide support. They will shoot those who get held or those who try to disturb the ones who are fighting. Their guns have a very long range of attack and high accuracy, so they can shoot from afar.

Over these last few months, the gunners trained their skills through the crew's continuous wars against Beasts Pirates. Their skills have improved tremendously in these wars. They rarely miss their shots even in the chaos of war.

It's not only their skills that have been improved, their guns also have been improved. The guns' shapes might be strange in this world because their designs come from Earth's modern world. The bullets are also different from the ones in this world too because they're pointy instead of round like balls.

Ruff made these weapons based on Buggy's idea which he got from his old world. Although Buggy doesn't really know the weapons' mechanisms, Ruff could still make them. Ruff also kept improving the weapons until now so they've become very strong.

With such weapons & skills, the gunners have become forces to reckon with. Furthermore, most of them have O-Haki, making them more dangerous. A few of them have A-Haki, so they can also hit devil fruit users.

The frontliners fully believe in the gunners' skills and just fight in the front without any hesitation. They aren't worried that they'll get shot by their crewmates. Something like that won't make them worry because the gunners will never shoot if they aren't sure.

The Clowns' combined attacks make the Beasts Pirates & Orochi's men overwhelmed. They had never seen such a strategy since they become pirates. Furthermore, the Clowns' weapons are just too good, including the frontliners' weapons.

This strategy is actually normal, at least Buggy thinks so. Fighters in the front while rangers in the back is a normal strategy on Earth. At least that was what was shown in the games that he knew in his past life.

It is an effective strategy, but Buggy is very confused as to why no one in this world uses it. They don't use the gunners' range advantage to shoot from afar. In the series, he always sees rangers attack in the front instead from the back.

Well, maybe many of them actually attack from the back but he didn't really put attention to them. However, he often saw that rangers runs to the front instead of staying in the back. Then they'll get defeated easily and die.

"LISTEN, CLOWNS! WE'LL USE PLAN B, BOMBARDMENT, NOW. SAMURAIS, STAY BACK IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!" shouts Cricket from the back.

The Clowns who hear it nod without hesitation and the frontliners retreat. Seeing them retreating, the samurais also choose to retreat. They don't know what the Clowns will do but it is surely dangerous.

The Beasts Pirates who don't care about the Clowns' strategy chase the ones who retreat. But they regret it immediately when the gunners shot them. These shots are different from before because the bullets create big explosions that engulf a lot of the Beasts Pirates.

As if the exploding bullets aren't enough, the Clowns' frontliners throw some grenades at the enemies. Some gunners also change their guns into bazookas & hand cannons. The clangs of swords suddenly change into the booms of bombs.

The Clowns attack anywhere as long as there are enemy crowds there. They just spam their attacks without any care about their ammo. Their aim is to reduce the enemy's number so they can spend all their ammo.

When their attacks finish, the enemy's number really reduces a lot. Now, there's only less than half of their initial number. Many of the survivors are also injured by the explosion, so it will be easier.

The Clowns grin while the others are shocked by such development. Such strong weapons will surely shock everyone even Queen who is also researching weapons. This war has come to the Clowns' favor in an instant.
