Chapter Seventy-Eight: Night Battle

Even though the people on the merchant ship had turned around with all their might, it was still not as good as the pirate ship that had been prepared in advance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the deck of the merchant ship, under the terrified gaze of the sailors, the pirate ship was like a sharp long knife in the night, cutting through the barrier and protection brought by the sea, and rushing directly towards their starboard side!

"Fire, fire!!" roared the captain, standing beside the rudder.

At the muzzle of the guns below starboard, four three-pounder guns were slowly pushed out, and a few seconds later, under the shaking of the waves, the four guns roared one after another, and the round shells were fired.

The two shells were fired when the hull was tilted to the right, and one of them plunged directly into the seawater, one shot was slightly better, and hit the pirate ship not far away, and the last shot was simply fired when it was tilted to the left, and flew out more than a hundred meters away.

"Hahaha, look at these soft eggs, can't they even fire a cannon?" Aesop, go tell them what is called shelling!" Seeing this, the pirates laughed wildly, and the captain slapped the shoulder of one of the people next to him.

"Okay!" the pirate known as Aesop laughed, turned and lifted the lid of the cabin on the deck, and jumped off with a flip.

In a moment, a bow gun slowly rolled out.

Unlike the gunners on the merchant ship who had been aiming for a long time and had not yet aimed, Aesop's aim only took the hull to shake once, and when the bow of the ship was raised to an angle, the muzzle of the gun burst into flames.

The sailors on the deck of the merchant ship only heard a piercing sound of cannonballs cutting through the air, and in the next second, the sails on the mainmast were suddenly torn open!

Seeing this scene from afar, all the people on the pirate ship let out a hearty laugh.

And on the merchant ship, there was a mess all of a sudden.

"Chain-bomb!It's chain-bomb!!"

"They're aiming too well!!"

"The sail is broken!

The shouts and cries rang out incessantly, and the captain wiped the cold sweat from his head, turned his head and shouted: "Escort them! Call them out! Prepare for the battle!"

"Don't bark, we're ready. ”

A few sturdy men with long knives in their hands stepped onto the deck at some point, their bodies were covered with scars, and just standing there, there was a sense of murder!

Seeing these people, the sailors finally breathed a sigh of relief, if it were them, they would definitely be able to defeat these pirates, right?

As the sails were torn apart, the speed of the merchant ship slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a few moments, the distance between the two ships reached a frightening level.

The pirates laughed and rushed to the side of the ship, throwing their claws at the merchant ship from a distance, hearing the sound of claws hooking the side of the ship, but the crew's mood did not start to be so nervous, looking at the tower-like strong men in front of them, they even had a faint expectation, wanting to see how powerful these guards were.

Under the watchful eyes of the sailors, the pirates began to frantically rush towards the merchant ships, and they were like monkeys jumping among the trees, swinging the ropes on the mast and "flying" in this direction, fluttering and falling on the deck.

However, at the same time as they fell, the broadswords of the merchant ship guards also followed, and the first batch of pirates who fell did not even get a chance to make a move, so they became swordsmen one after another!

Seeing this scene, the sailors' eyes lit up.

"Awesome!

"These pirates aren't a joint enemy at all!"

"The guards are simply invincible!"

And the pirates also showed hesitant eyes, not daring to come up casually to fight those guards.

At this moment, the blonde young man slowly walked out.

Under everyone's gaze, he grabbed a long knife casually, moved under his feet, stepped on the rope connecting the two boats, and rushed over!

"Don't think about it!" a sword-wielding guard stepped forward and slashed with a sword, his timing was very good, just as the blonde young man was about to rush aboard the merchant ship, if he wanted to get on the ship, he had to take the knife, if he stopped, he would fall into the sea!

Looking at the danger in front of him, the blonde young man only smiled softly, he kept the forward speed unchanged, but the knife in his right hand was put back, replaced by a left fist to meet it.

The sword-wielding guard was stunned, what kind of way is this? Facing his own blade, this pirate with a long chin not only did not retreat, but instead took his knife and hit it with his fist?

Could it be ......

Fruit Ability?!

Thinking of this, his face changed, but it was too late, and the blonde pirate's fist hit his knife hard!

With this action, a crisp cracking sound sounded, and the good knife that had gone through an unknown number of battles suddenly collapsed into a piece of slag!

Under the stunned gaze of the sword-wielding guard, the blonde pirate followed with a long knife in his right hand, slashing him in two!

With his attack, the merchant ship's defenses were finally torn open, and the pirates shouted his name as they launched a wild offensive again.

In less than half an hour, the battle was over, the merchant ships were completely crushed, and the goods were continuously carried to the bed by the pirates.

And this activity, which was full of pirate fun, lasted until the sun came out, and it was completely over, and the sailors who participated in the rebellion on the merchant ships were basically slaughtered, and the others left a lot, along with a ransacked ship, which was let go by the pirates.

Capturing the booty, which was obviously one of the pirates' greatest pleasures, the blonde young man seemed uninterested, and he returned to the deck, sat under the oil lamp for a while, and took a sip of the flask he had brought with him.

A pirate who knew him well walked over with a smile.

"You're in the limelight again this time, Newgate!"

He shook his head: "Nothing special. ”

"Tsk, I really don't understand you, you usually look happy, you don't fight with people, you don't see how happy you are when you fight, even when you grab something, you seem to be lacking in interest, you guy, what do you want. ”

Hearing this, several pirates next to him also came over with interest.

"yes, Newgate, do you have anything you want?"

Even the captain and several other cadres all cast their eyes in this direction, no way, this Newgate is really too incomprehensible, as if there is no desire.

Hearing this, Newgeta gave them a funny look.

"What do I want......

"If I had to say, it would probably be...... Family. ”

Hearing this, the pirates were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh one after another.

"Family?"

"Haha, Newgate, you're so funny!"

"When you are a pirate, who cares about this!"

"Hahaha, Newgate, you're so childlike. ”

Even the captain couldn't help but giggle: "Newgate, you are short of women! Wait for the next time you go ashore, Lao Tzu will find you some women, you don't want to have a family!"

Hearing this, Newgate smiled noncommittally and said no more.
