Chapter 1316: Bomb Lover
Bright red flames burned along the shoreline, lighting up the coastal Dress Rose area in a fiery red color.
Right now, the entire beach was lit up as much as if it were day.
Ordinary civilians had been woken up by the massive explosion and were now standing at the windows and watching the scene on the coast in amazement.
Several large vessels were moving rapidly away from the waters of Dressosa. Katakuri stood at the stern of the ship with a grim expression on his face.
Before Apollo's Anger could explode, Katakuri was able to see the explosion and immediately gave the order to retreat, but it was too late.
He could only watch as a huge number of his ships and people evaporated right before his eyes.
— Katakuri, should we... Continue?.. An officer standing behind Katakuri with a large number of burns on his body asked. He was about 300 meters away from the epicenter of the explosion, but even so, he almost died from the extreme temperature.
— We... We have to take this island, " Katakuri said, and clenched his fists, causing the ship to crackle. Now this war was more than just a clash of interests, now it was a matter of reputation.
The most famous pirate groups, like the Big Mama pirates, might be destroyed, but they would never suffer such humiliations.
The Big Mama pirates controlled almost a fifth of the New World Islands. With so many territories under their control, they naturally couldn't place their people on every island they controlled. At most, they could leave a man on each island, so that in the event of an attack, he could pass on a message to the main force or warn the enemy that this island belonged to Charlotte Linlin.
But if their reputation is damaged, many people will no longer be afraid of the name of Charlotte Linlin, and some of their islands will definitely sink in fire, be destroyed, or simply plundered by other pirates.
Charlotte Perosparo was killed in a naval battle. Charlotte Cracker was killed in the Battle of Dress Rose. Countless ordinary pirates had already died in this war. Even the famous Katakuri was forced to flee the battlefield.
Once the war reached such a point, it couldn't end with someone's unilateral surrender. The Quixote family couldn't back down, because if they did, they would lose everything. The Big Mama pirates couldn't retreat either, because if they did, their reputation would be completely destroyed and their territories would be constantly raided.
In fact, neither side wanted to continue the war, but neither side could stop, which made it impossible to stop this war.
Either the Quixote family will be destroyed, or the Big Mama pirates will suffer truly heavy losses and temporarily retreat to Totto Land.
After all, Charlotte Linlin was one of the "Four Emperors". The Quixote family absolutely couldn't defeat such a person.
The reason why this war had reached such a state was because Charlotte Linlin couldn't come to the Dress Rose. Kaido and the Red-Haired Shanks held her back. The former did it for profit, and the latter for stability.
Red-haired Shanks wasn't a heartless pirate. To become one of the" Four Emperors", one had to have many strong points. Even Whitebeard didn't dare underestimate Shanks ' domineering nature.
Of course, in addition to fighting until the other side was completely destroyed, they could try to settle the conflict through negotiations, as long as one side paid the other a large sum in compensation, but given the current situation, neither side would make such an offer.
The fleet led by Katakuri retreated far from Dress Rosa. Until they received information about Apollo's Wrath, they wouldn't launch another large-scale attack. At most, they will send a small detachment to scout or pursue ships, but no more.
Just as the Big Mama pirates were retreating, a small submarine surfaced nearby. It wasn't a real submarine, it was more accurate to say that it was a small boat that could dive under water.
Two figures emerged from the small boat. Immediately, they looked at the Dress Rose through a telescope and took out a camera to capture the scene. Dan Dan Musi was a very strange being in this world. The structure of their bodies allowed them to make calls over long distances, and some of them also allowed them to project the desired image to the other party.
After writing down everything they needed, the two figures quickly entered the small submarine, closed the hatch, and it immediately sank into the water as if it had never been there.
A full half hour later, the coast was still ablaze with flames. Large areas of sand turned to glass due to the very high temperature, and thanks to the moonlight, these areas looked great.
The first developer of Apollo's Wrath wanted to pull the sun closer to earth. The idea was ridiculous. Not to mention, would it have been possible to do such a thing if the sun had really been pulled towards the earth, far more than one or two planets had been destroyed.
The second developer did not want to develop the bomb in this way, as he was well aware that it was a very stupid idea to attract the sun to the earth, but since he was a little crazy, he tried to create an artificial sun.
As a result, he died half a month later as a result of a powerful explosion..
The next developers of this bomb died either during testing or from the temperature. After a shift of more than thirty researchers, one of them came up with an idea: "Why are we so obsessed with creating an artificial sun? Why can't we use a fragment of the sun to simulate the appearance of the sun?»
This was obviously the most successful and working idea. Compared to dozens of previous researchers, this one died after achieving a huge amount of success and received considerable fame during his lifetime. He died in an explosion of Apollo's unstable Wrath, for the formula of creation was not yet perfect.
His successors began to try their best to stabilize Apollo's Wrath by reducing the initial blast diameter from 50 kilometers to half a kilometer and increasing the activation time..
Since then, Apollo's Wrath has developed new problems.
To create the Wrath of Apollo, a total of 267 alchemists died, three cities were razed to the ground, and the total number of victims exceeded 200,000.
At the end of the development of this bomb, it was simply forbidden to try to bring it to the ideal..
But after so many failures, the refinement of Apollo's Wrath was finally finished, but the Wrath of Apollo that Su Xiao was creating wasn't as powerful as it was originally supposed to be.
Su Xiao knew about this, but it was very difficult to extend the range of the explosion, as he also needed to maintain the stability of this bomb.
At most, he could extend his range to five kilometers, but given his current understanding of alchemy, he would never attempt to activate such an Apollo Wrath in person, let alone produce such a bomb outside of Paradise.
Su Xiao needed Apollo's Wrath to remain a fairly stable bomb, but it also needed to become much more powerful, and it was extremely difficult to implement such a thing.
The warm night breeze began to come in through the window, and soon Su Xiao closed it. He hadn't expected Doflamingo to take advantage of Apollo's Wrath so soon, but it made him realize that the Quixote family had suffered too many losses, and so heavy that they didn't want to engage in a large-scale battle with the Big Mama pirates again.
While Su Xiao was thinking about this, there was a loud knock on the door.
Amu got up and opened the door.
Jack came to see him.
Jack walked brusquely into the room looking very unhappy.
— Is this the special type of bomb? Jack asked. He seemed to have just woken up, as there were tears at the corners of his eyes.
Seeing them, Bubtney subconsciously took a few steps back.
— Yes, I developed this bomb quite recently. It was a probe.
— … — Jack's eyes bulged with anger. He pulled off his black cape and threw it on the floor, exposing his muscular back.
His back was covered with scars and burn marks.
— The Marines dropped one on the island where I was. It's a flame… They definitely dropped the exact same bomb.
The atmosphere became very awkward, as Apollo's Wrath had indeed been dropped on Jack's head in the past, and it seemed that the incident left a truly unforgettable impression on him.
Jack was very unlucky. He had already tried out both types of Su Xiao bombs. The first type made it sit at the bottom of the sea for about half a year, while the second one fried it until crisp on the outside and left it tender and juicy on the inside.
