Chapter Seventy-Five: Landing

Rumble!

By the time the explosion reached the Redbeard Pirates' position, the sound had become faint, but everyone on board was still aware of the anomaly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Becker, who was patrolling the deck, heard the sound and climbed to the side of the guard, he took the monocular handed by the bystander, looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw countless birds flying because of this unusual movement, and then a black smoke flew straight into the sky.

Becker's first reaction was that someone was on fire.

"Did you really meet it?" Becker muttered to himself.

After the Redbeard Pirates had been hanging out in the windless zone for so long, Becker had long since lost hope that the rest of the crew would collide with the pirates fleeing the Great Voyage, but now it seems that things may turn around.

Becker and Ragnar judged similarly, and at this place, at this time, the most likely one who would appear on this island would be a pirate, either a companion with a similar idea to Barbarossa, or a bandit who had just escaped from the windless zone.

Barbarossa, who was in the captain's room, also ran out, took the monocular and looked over, and when he saw the flying birds and black smoke, his face couldn't help but show joy, and it was obvious that he also realized the meaning behind the commotion in the distance.

"Sail!" After Barbarossa put down the binoculars, he yelled at the pirates beside him, "Steer, let's go over and have a look!" ”

Becker was a little worried about Harden and the others who had not yet returned, but he still took the order and led the pirates to ride the ship through the wind and waves, circle the island, and go in the direction of the black smoke.

…………

Rumble!

There was an earth-shattering bang, accompanied by a dazzling burst of fire, and an invisible shock wave dispersed in all directions, and several pieces of burning wood flew into the woods, and in a short time the fire exploded.

When the sound ended, Creon and several other Viking pirate cadres ran over to the angry supporter Ragnar, and several Viking pirate pirates closest to gunpowder also staggered up from the ground.

Creon glanced around the mess, the only thing to be thankful for was that the members of the Viking Pirates were far away from the powder keg, and a few of them were dizzy from the shock, but they were fine.

The most seriously injured was actually Harden, the initiator of the bombing.

Creon swept Harden to the ground, already bloody and fleshy, and he angrily pulled out his scimitar and slashed at Harden, but when the scimitar was halfway through the air, his wrist was grabbed by Ragnar.

Harden lay on the ground, turned his head with difficulty, blood and dirt mixed together on his face, he could no longer see his true face, the impact and heat generated by the explosion caused his skin to be burned in a large area, causing great damage to his internal organs and skull, in his entire vision, the world seemed to be stained with blood, and he could only vaguely see the figures of Ragnar and others who were close at hand.

Harden slowly tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a sneering smile, and the blood that kept pouring out of his mouth made his words intermittent: "Becker, he will, will avenge me, he ......, he will take you and people on the boat, and eat dry and clean." ”

Ragnar snatched the scimitar from Creon's hand, came to Harden with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "I also want to meet the heroes of the sea who can make a man like you loyal." ”

Harden's eardrum was so broken that he couldn't hear Ragnar say anything at all, just watched him grin with blood gushing out of his mouth.

"A man like you shouldn't have your life taken, that's an insult to you," Ragnar said with his head bowed while raising his scimitar aloft whether Harden could hear it or not, "It's a pity you didn't make it to my ......, it seems that there are heroes in the East China Sea." ”

Harden couldn't hear or see clearly, he only vaguely saw Ragnar raise the scimitar, and then saw him wave his hands down, and Harden didn't know anything.

Ragnar waved the blood stuck to the scimitar and said to Creon and the others, who were still angry, "When we defeat the Redbeard Pirates, bury his body." ”

"What's next?" Creon asked sullenly after glancing at Harden's corpse.

Now that the gunpowder has been detonated, the momentum is so loud that as long as all the members of the Redbeard Pirates are not all fools, they will definitely find the problem, and all the previous plans have been disrupted.

Ragnar didn't respond, instead turning around and yelling at the Viking Pirates who were all focused on the area, "All ready!" We're going to show the imps of the East China Sea what a real pirate is! ”

The pirates suddenly agreed, and then Ragnar said to Creon with a calm face: "Time is not enough, if the Redbeard Pirates sail at this time, it won't take long to get here, we don't have time to prepare, we can only fight hard." ”

"We're not afraid of them if we fight hard, we just didn't want the children to get hurt too much," Ragnar squinted at the shore and said slowly, "What is the situation with that little imp named Barbarossa, you all know it from the captives, impulsive and irritable, and in dire need of devil fruits, this is good, Creon, you go and hang those captives on the shore, I will provoke the opponent." ”

Ragnar continued to order: "Then tell Dion on the ship to be informed, and tell him to withdraw all the people to the shore, and the loot that has not been withdrawn will continue to be placed on the ship, and the devil fruit will be hidden in the old place." ”

Creon was stunned: "Everyone? Don't want the boat? ”

"Everyone," Ragnar repeated, casually explained, "the next battle, if we win, the other party's ship may also be ours, and if we lose, we can't run away with this broken ship, and the ship will stay there, and there is still loot on it, and there is no one, and they don't know if the Devil Fruit is on the ship or not, and it won't sink it." ”

Creon nodded, and walked away to carry out Ragnar's orders.

On the other side, the Redbeard Pirates' ships had stopped some distance from the direction of the black smoke rising under Barbarossa's orders, and began to carry people ashore in small boats.

Neither Barbarossa nor Becker knew whether there was a natural dock where large ships could anchor in the direction of the commotion, and even if there were, they didn't know the exact location on this strange island, and when the time came, they would have to rely on small boats to land manned, and the rudimentary long-range weapons of the Redbeard Pirate Ship could not do the slightest fire cover, and if there was an enemy ambush there, it would be a nightmare for the Redbeard Pirates.

So instead of landing under the watchful eyes of the enemy, Barbarossa felt that it would be better to land safely and walk over.
