Since I am in a happy mood, here a new chapter for you to enjoy.
-----------
After the action of the SEAL team, Ike shivered and felt uneasiness. Immediately, he said, "They want to open the bay; stop them! We must not let them open it."
Ike's tone was closer to a howl. The others were also anxious; if the enemy managed to open the gate, the consequences would be unthinkable.
The Astra Militarum did a lot to attract attention. According to their judgment, there were Devil Fruit Users on the prison island. If they fought head-on, they wouldn't have enough time, and there might also be some casualties. This is what the Astra Militarum did not want to see.
A powerful officer personally led the team. With an elite group of guards, they approached the lower side of the bay to try to stop the SEAL team. But immediately, they were greeted by artillery and machine-gun fire. From time to time, a heavy sniper rifle, the Barrett M82, also fired.
The bombardment in the sky continued, and the target was the people in the defensive position. The smoke from the bombing rose, and the surrounding woods burned. At this time, in the Fighter Wings, not all of them were fighter jets. There were also a few normal planes equipped with S.F. teams, who were fully armed and had parachutes on their backs.
"Drop the incendiary bomb!" Seeing that it was the right time, Hudnall immediately ordered.
Incendiary bombs were quickly dropped, landing on the island. While they weren't lethal, they could ignite nearby materials. The most critical thing, however, was the smoke, as it blocked the surrounding line of sight.
Ike and the others didn't notice that in the rear of the island, the S.F. teams were jumping off the planes. Their parachutes opened, and they slowly descended onto a grassy area below.
For this landing operation, the Astra Militarum was well prepared in advance. After training and simulation after simulation, all 30 Storm-Troopers landed successfully. While a few people were a little far from the main group, it wasn't a big deal. Twenty people nearby gathered together and quickly moved towards the island's prison.
Although the outside was desperately defending, inside the prison there were still many guards and officers on duty, but most of their attention was focused on the defensive battle at the entrance of the bay. They did not realize that under their noses, 20 or more Storm-Troopers had slipped in.
A Storm-Trooper planted an explosive pack under the prison gate. After a moment, there was a loud explosion. The iron gate could not withstand such a large impact and was destroyed.
The officer and the guards on duty inside were startled for a moment; immediately afterward, the officer, along with dozens of guards, quickly rushed out. However, as soon as they emerged, hailstorms of bullets flew in.
Two dozen Storm-Troopers held their assault rifles and aimed at the entrance. Dozens of guards instantly fell to the ground, and the officer, under such concentrated firepower, had no time to use his Devil Fruit ability and was injured.
According to the results of the interrogation, Devil Fruit Users at low levels need reaction time. If they reach the Commander Level, it becomes very difficult to conduct a surprise attack. But even with this surprise attack, the officer did not die immediately.
The Storm-Troopers rushed in, and the key to the prison cell was extracted from the seriously wounded officer before they quickly moved inside. There were still several guards present, but this time, the Storm-Troopers did not kill them; instead, they left a few alive.
They opened the prison cell, and immediately, there was a loud noise. Because the Translation Leaf was given to the Storm-Troopers, they were able to understand the shouts of the prisoners locked inside.
There was a huge commotion outside, and the people inside heard it too. Then, they saw the Storm-Troopers rush in and immediately realized these people had come to raid the prison, so they shouted in excitement.
A Storm-Trooper grabbed a few guards. While walking in, he asked, "Where are Jonathan and Susanna locked up?"
"Over there," a guard pointed to a room not far away.
The Storm-Trooper immediately rushed over. In the room indicated by the guard, a dozen prisoners covered in filth were visible.
"Which two are Jonathan and Susanna?" a Storm-Trooper asked loudly.
The dozen prisoners instantly turned their eyes toward the two people in the corner. One had dark skin but bright eyes; the other was thin and weak, and his face was disfigured, as if he had been burned by fire. Both of them were very young; they looked like they were only about 20 years old.
"You are Jonathan and Susanna?" a Storm-Trooper asked.
"Who are you?" the dark-skinned teenager stared at the Storm-Trooper and asked in return.
"The people who came to save you. Come with us," the Storm-Trooper urged, pulling at the dark-skinned teenager.
But the teenager was tugging at the bars of the prison with one hand and wouldn't let go!
"Hurry up! There is no time. Do you want to stay here for the rest of your life?" the Storm-Trooper said in a stern voice.
The dark-skinned teenager hesitated for a moment. The disfigured, skinny teenager behind him spoke in a hoarse voice, "Go with them."
"Okay." The dark-skinned teenager seemed to be swayed by the skinny, disfigured teenager and let go of his grip.
The two young men followed the Storm-Trooper and left. The other prisoners also wanted to follow them out, but a series of bullets from the Storm-Trooper forced them to retreat.
Although this was an alien planet, the Astra Militarum maintained strict discipline about what could and could not be done. The lines were clearly drawn. After leaving the prison, they did not forget to re-lock the door, leaving the prisoners inside dumbfounded.
With the two teenagers, a Storm-Trooper ran towards a cliff at the back of the cell. At the bottom of this cliff, a battleship was waiting. A Storm-Trooper took out a bundle of thick ropes; one end was firmly tied to a large tree, and he threw the other end down.
The crew on the battleship below caught the rope and secured it to the ship, creating a simple zip line. Two Storm-Troopers went down first, each taking one of the teenagers with them. They grabbed the pulley on the rope and quickly slid down. They waited until both teenagers landed safely on the battleship before the other Storm-Trooper came down.
After everyone was safely back, the rope was cut, and the battleship quickly turned away. The rescue operation was successfully completed.
