Chapter 310: Clown Fleet's First War

Chapter 310: Clown Fleet's First War

The war finally started for real now because The Clown Pirates have reached Queen Mama Chanter. Their subordinate crews, however, are still attacking from afar using their long-range cannons. They are still outnumbered by Big Mom Pirates that have thousands of homies.

So they focus on attacking from their cannons' max distance just as Cricket instructed. The Big Mom Pirates' attacks can't reach their ships because their cannons can't shoot that far. Their weapon technologies' levels are too far apart.

"OI! COME HERE, YOU BASTARDS! FIGHT LIKE REAL MEN!" shouts one of Big Mom's officers.

The Clown fleet ignores him and keeps shooting from afar. They've damaged and sunk a few of Big Mom's ships using this strategy, so it's very effective. When they run out of ammunition later, they've sunk more than half of Big Mom's ships, which reduced the enemy's number too.

Now, they can only fight at closer range, so they get closer to Big Mom Pirates' ships. But it makes them enter the enemies' shooting range. Big Mom Pirates shoot their cannons, but the Clown fleet can defend themselves because the cannons that Big Mom Pirates use are just normal ones with normal speed, which don't pose a big threat to them.

The Clown fleet finally gets close to the enemy ships and each of them gets between Big Mom's ships. But they put some tens of meters distance to those ships. The distance prevents Big Mom Pirates to get on their ships, but they also can't get on the enemy ships.

It's not a problem though because they have another weapon type. From the sides of the Clown fleet ships, many normal cannons suddenly come out. Big Mom Pirates are very surprised because they thought that the Clown fleet has ran out of ammo.

"Haven't you run out of ammo?" asks a Big Mom officer in disbelief.

"We have run out of ammo, for our long-range cannons. But we still have our normal cannons and the ammo for these cannons is still full. Now, feel despair! FIRE!" shouts a fleet Captain that has been pointed as the raid leader by Cricket.

All Clown fleet ships shoot their normal cannons at the same time. Their distance is close enough, so no one misses their targets. Each ship shoots the enemy ships on their left & right.

The bombardment destroys Big Mom's ships, but they also retaliate by shooting back using their cannons. However, as the Clown fleet is the one that attacks first, they've inflicted more damage. Many shots hit Big Mom's ships' cannon chambers, so Big Mom's ships lost a lot of cannons first.

In the end, Big Mom Pirates lost 80% of their ships in this confrontation. They brought 20 ships excluding Queen Mama Chanter, so they've lost 16. While the Clown fleet only lost 2 out of 10 ships, excluding Black Pearl.

So now, there are 4 remaining ships on the Big Mom side, and there are 8 ships on the Clown side. The table has flipped in a short time because of the Clowns' excellent strategy and weapons. But they can't get relaxed yet because Big Mom Pirates still have more members on those 4 ships than the Clown fleet on their 8 ships.

"The real war starts now. We have truly run out of ammo for our cannons and so are they. The only choice left is direct confrontation. Let's show those Mommy's boys our power! Show them the power of Clown Pirates Fleet!" shouts the fleet leader.

"OOUUU!" The fleet members roar to increase their own morale.

Enel doesn't see it coming and almost gets hit on the face. But he has a very good reflex because of his lightning power and evades it by flashing away using his lightning at the last moment. The trident still graze his left cheek, making it bleeds.

"You're better than I thought," says Enel while grinning wider before rushing to attack Katakuri again.

Both of them then exchange moves using their weapons. The pissed Cricket is still looking at them even though Oven is walking angrily toward him. Oven gets angrier because Enel ignores him, making his body gets hotter.

"HOW DARE YOU IGNORE ME, YOU BASTARD!" shouts Oven as he sends a punch at Cricket.

*BAM*

Oven scoffs, but then he widens his eyes when he sees Cricket catches his hot fist with his bare hand. Cricket only uses basic colorless Armament Haki to catch his hot fist.

"Sorry for ignoring you, someone is pissing me off. But man, I heard your devil fruit is Heat Heat Fruit, so I thought your fist will be hot, not warm like this," says Cricket with a disappointed tone.

Oven gets even angrier and his body becomes even hotter. Cricket grins as he pulls Oven's hand and headbutts Oven's head. Oven gets pushed back and almost falls on his butt. He can balance himself though and avoid embarrassing himself.

Cricket still grins and taunts Oven using his hand, "Come! Help me warm up before the real battle."
