Chapter Two Thousand and Ninety-Nine: African Pirates

The sun is rising higher and higher, and the weather is getting warmer.

At the head of a fleet of ships in the Mediterranean, a flotilla of dolphins dancing on the waves is a flock of dolphins flying westward at high speed.

They are like a group of angels flying close to the sea, leading the way of this fleet of ships exploring the treasures of the shipwreck, guiding the way for this fleet.

These Mediterranean dolphins are all swimming around the largest and most beautiful superyacht in the fleet, and each dolphin is very cheerful and even excited!

They don't go near other ships at all, or they don't have any other ships in their eyes, and seem very attached to the blue and white superyacht.

What made these sea elves reluctant was Ye Tian who was standing on the bow deck of the Blue Princess.

From time to time, he would come to the side of the boat to greet and interact with the sea spirits flying close to the surface of the sea, and even toss them a few pieces of tuna meat.

The Mediterranean dolphins responded with cheerful chirping, soaring and jumping, and dancing in the air!

The scene that happened on the bow of the Blue Princess was clearly presented to everyone in the fleet and countless live viewers through the high-definition live footage of National Geographic Channel and NBC TV.

Looking at this scene of incomparable harmony between humans and dolphins, everyone was envious, and they wished that they could directly replace Ye Tian and play and frolic with those sea elves.

"Wow! Look at those cute spotted dolphins, they seem to be playing with that Steven guy, acting like children, it's incredible."

"Steven is such an amazing guy, it seems that all creatures can be good friends with him, close to him and unsuspecting, this guy must have magic in him!"

"I have to say, Steven is really a very conflicted guy, when facing these spotted dolphins and all kinds of other animals, he behaves so naturally and easily, and there is no trace of anger in his body.

But when it comes to his enemies, this guy is notoriously ruthless and retributive, like the Grim Reaper, and in his eyes, some people's lives may not be as important as these cute brindled dolphins."

Amid the chatter, the exploration fleet has been moving non-stop, leaving Crete and the Andy Kithera Strait far behind, and there is almost no shadow in sight.

The fleet sailed forward some distance before Matisse's voice suddenly came through the headphones.

"Steven, two nautical miles ahead, the fleet is out of the Greek territorial waters, and those folks from Raytheon Security are waiting for us outside the Greek territorial waters, and they are ready.

In addition to the four large yachts they were flying on, outside the territorial waters of Greece, there were also a large number of ships, yachts, freighters, fishing boats, etc., all kinds of different routes.

These ships are basically from the countries bordering the Mediterranean, and all of them are coming for our fleet, for the treasure of the ancient Roman shipwreck on the bottom of the Mediterranean, and none of them are good.

Among them are professional treasure hunters, treasure hunt companies, treasure hunt enthusiasts from all over the world, as well as mafia scum from Italy, and gangsters from various European countries, among others.

The Raytheon security folks also discovered that several groups of pirates from Africa, some from Libya and some from Egypt, were hiding inside several trawlers.

One more thing, the Bataan amphibious assault ship and the integrated supply ship have appeared in the radar scanning range of the Blue Princess, and the two warships are cruising in the Mediterranean.

If we are attacked and need help, we can send a signal to the amphibious assault ship Bataan, and that warship will send fighter jets to support and deter our enemies."

Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian first pondered for a moment, and then said with a sneer:

"The open sea is really lively, maybe we'll have to fight some guys at sea soon, but that's fine, by the way, I can warn those who have bad intentions.

Inform all the security personnel in the fleet to be ready for battle at any time, let the snipers on the commanding heights of each ship, and make all three helicopters ready to take to the air at any time.

In addition, check the high-speed speedboats on each ship, prepare to take the initiative to drive away those with bad intentions, and also pay attention to the underwater situation to prevent someone from diving over and sneaking in.

After the convoy sailed out of the territorial waters of Greece, it left the ships guarding the open sea, continued five or six nautical miles, and then stopped the ships and started with the Raytheon guys.

As for the amphibious assault ship Bataan, I believe that there is no need to ask those American GIs for help for the time being, and if we can't even cope with such a scene, we don't need to come out to explore the treasure."

"Understood, Steven, I'll tell you to prepare, don't worry, nothing will go wrong"

Mattis answered, and then went into action.

Next, Ye Tian whispered a few words to David and Jason, and then left the bow deck and walked towards his bedroom in the cabin.

At the same time, the Blue Princess, the Intrepid Brave, and the armed security personnel on several other ships also took action.

Seven or eight minutes later, when Ye Tian walked out of the cabin and reappeared on the deck, the whole person was fully armed.

At this time, he was wearing Kevlar body armor, carrying an assault rifle in his hand, a pistol in his holster, and a black backpack full of ammunition, armed to the teeth.

Not only him, but all the security personnel on the Blue Princess, all armed, each armed with an assault rifle, and carried some boxes with heavy weapons onto the deck, quickly ready for battle.

Two snipers in charge of long-range strikes, each carrying a sniper rifle, went to the deck of the flybridge and began to arrange sniper positions on the deck.

For this scene, the employees of the brave and fearless exploration company have long been commonplace, and they are not surprised or frightened at all, but show some excitement.

They knew what to do, and as many heavily armed security personnel boarded the decks, the Intrepid Discovery employees left the deck and returned to the cabin.

The deep-sea salvage ship of the Brave Intrepid behind the Blue Princess is also the same, there is no panic, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

The situation on other ships is completely different.

Officials from the U.S. and Greek ministries of culture, experts and scholars from major museums, and reporters from National Geographic and NBC were shocked to see the heavily armed security guards.

Especially when they saw the sniper rifles on the commanding heights of their respective ships, everyone's eyelids were beating wildly, and they all felt a sense of horror and even disaster.

"I'll go! What the hell is this guy going to do? Is it possible that he is going to fight someone? Why did they bring so many weapons and ammunition? Enough for a war!"

"Sure enough, no matter where this guy Steven goes, he will set off one huge storm after another, and he won't stop at sea, but unfortunately, this time we caught up!"

While there was a lot of discussion, some people had already picked up the walkie-talkie, and they were ready to contact Ye Tian to ask what was going on, and they didn't have to be suspicious and frightened!

At this moment, Ye Tian's voice came from the walkie-talkie, and he used this special channel to introduce the current situation to these experts, scholars and media reporters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you've seen the heavily armed security guards, and you don't need to be nervous, there are some security measures that have been taken to keep you safe.

The exploration fleet is about to sail out of the territorial waters of Greece and into the open sea, where there are many ships of unknown origin waiting for our fleet, all of whom have washed away the treasure of the sunken ship!

On the unsolicited ships, my security guards spotted the Italian mafia, many gangsters, and pirates from off the coast of Africa.

That's why I've armed my security personnel to deal with any eventualities and ensure the safety of everyone in the expedition team, and I ask for your cooperation."

Hearing Ye Tian's words, those experts, scholars and media reporters immediately fried the pot.

However, before they could scream, they saw a large number of ships appearing on the distant sea.

The sea ahead is already the waters of the open sea.
