Chapter 731: The Criteria for Victory and Defeat
The full moon in the sky had turned to the west, and it was the darkest hour before dawn, and the empty helicopter deck could only be seen dimly by the shadow of a person, and it was really not a good place for a duel.
But even so, Joseph did not let the lights on, but had to fight a duel in the dark.
"Joseph, you don't want to take the opportunity to jump ship and escape, do you?" Dewey asked with a smile.
"Although I chose to surrender, according to the rules of the ocean, you should give me the corresponding treatment, let alone insult my personality!" Joseph said angrily, not knowing that it was the rule hundreds of years ago.
"Correct, not surrender, it's a prisoner." Dewey said lightly.
Strictly speaking, he really didn't surrender, and at the moment when he made up his mind to surrender, the hidden dragon had already broken in.
Joseph was so choked that he couldn't speak, so he could only put on a fearless appearance and said: "I am a man on the ocean, and I will never run away from a duel!" ”
"Why don't you say you're a man who wants to be One Piece," Dewey teased with a laugh, "I'm just giving you a reminder not to do anything stupid." ”
As soon as the words fell, Dewey suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and threw a shot.
The sudden gunfire frightened Joseph so much that he couldn't help but shrink back, thinking that Dewey wanted to kill him, but there was no pain in his body after being shot.
At that moment, the sound of glass breaking came over with a click, and even the sound of the waves could not cover it.
Joseph followed the sound, but a searchlight had been dropped, and the position of the light was right on the muzzle extension of Dewey's gun.
He didn't believe that Dewey had to hit the light off to get it off, obviously on purpose, just to show off his marksmanship.
Hiss –
Joseph gasped, shocked and regretful.
The horror was naturally that Dewey's marksmanship was able to shoot down a searchlight with a single shot in such a dark night. If it was daytime, Joseph could easily do this, but in the dark light, he could only shoot the bird.
In fact, he really had the idea of jumping into the sea, but seeing Dewey's marksmanship, he was also dispelled, in the face of such a gunman, he had to be knocked down by a shot before he ran to the side of the boat.
And people's energy is limited, and if you want to practice such marksmanship, you must invest a lot of energy, which means that it will definitely squeeze out the training time of martial arts, and the level of fighting will naturally be poor.
If he had been chosen as a dueling opponent, it would have been easier to win, alas, such a good opportunity had been lost in vain!
Joseph sighed regretfully, looked at the baby-faced shepherd, perked up again, pretended not to see Dewey's shot, and came to stand opposite the shepherd in the middle of the deck.
"Three, two, one, go!"
As soon as Dewey finished speaking, a large wave suddenly hit, and the sea water hit the deck, and the frigate shook violently.
The wave came so suddenly that the dragons were a little unsteady on their feet, and they all hurriedly got down and nailed firmly to the deck, as if the soles of their feet had taken root.
This was beyond Joseph's expectations, he didn't expect that the hidden dragon would be so stable, far beyond his imagination.
He didn't know that although the Qianlong had not been trained in shipboard fighting, the tasks they performed were complex and changeable, and they could encounter any situation, and there was a lot of steady training for the next game.
And Joseph's actions were also unexpected by the hidden dragon, he didn't even stand firmly, but suddenly stumbled under his feet, and he was about to fall.
This is the legend to listen to the pirate captain, it is too watery!
The shepherd was overjoyed and was about to attack, but Joseph, who was about to fall, screeched up as if he had a spring under his feet, rushed forward first, and swept his legs towards the shepherd.
Joseph had a good time, just as the shepherd's feet were about to leave the deck, and the waves shook the frigate's hull again, making him unable to stabilize his body, and this leg swept firmly on his legs.
Victory or defeat is a matter of life and death, and Joseph naturally gave it his all, and the leg was so hard that the shepherd was kicked out at that time.
The shepherd's reaction was also fast enough, with the help of his legs, he twisted his waist hard, and landed on the ground with one hand to dodge Joseph's next attack.
But the frigate shook again, and the shepherd's hand involuntarily slipped on the deck, and a great pain came from his wrist.
Dislocated!
The shepherd immediately recognized his injury, but gritted his teeth and flipped over, and Joseph's next attack followed.
At this time, Joseph still had the embarrassment that he was about to fall down just now, but instead made a move, without giving the shepherd a chance to breathe, and beckoned him with his fists and feet alternately.
Although the shepherd is nimble, he doesn't know the essentials of fighting on the ship, and he has hit several moves in succession, and he has not been knocked out entirely by relying on the iron bones trained by the hidden dragon.
", shepherd is dangerous!"
The chicken thief couldn't help but rush up to help the battle, but Dewey stretched out his hand to stop him: "What's the hurry, the shepherd hasn't lost yet." ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, the shepherd will be killed in a while!" The chicken thief said urgently.
"Do you think I'm going to let this happen?" Dewey said lightly.
What bullshit ocean rules, when you get to the hidden dragon, you have to abide by the rules of the hidden dragon, Dewey never took this duel seriously, and he did not intend to abide by the conditions proposed by Joseph.
They worked hard to take down the Adelaide frigate, and they also paid the heavy price of serious injuries to the mule and the heavy price of Wei Lao's wet and dry Shen Fei combat attrition, how could Joseph run away?
The reason why Dewey agreed to the duel was just to know from Joseph the location of the base of the South Pacific giant shark, and to prevent the pirates from escaping because they did not receive information from Joseph.
If the shepherd wins, the rules of the ocean will naturally be followed, but if he loses, Joseph will not want to escape.
The four teams of Qianlong failed to wipe out the giant sharks in the South Pacific, and if they didn't catch a pirate captain back, they wouldn't even be able to face the seriously injured mules, let alone the many Jiangdong fathers and elders of Qianlong.
The duel continued, and the shepherd had completely fallen into disadvantage, but Dewey was not in a hurry, and said: "However, this guy deserves to have grown up on the ship, and he is indeed more slippery than us."
"Well, you see that he is standing staggering, as if he is unstable, but not at all," the second mule continued, "and if you look closely, the shaking of his body just counteracts the shaking of the ship, and not only is he more stable than us, but it is not at all effortless. ”
In fact, this is the case, the strength of man can never be compared with nature, even if the hidden dragon is stable, it can be firmly nailed to the deck, and not let itself stagger, but in fact it is very hard, because they have to pay more strength.
Joseph, on the other hand, is completely different, he does not rely on brute force to maintain balance, but relies on years of experience at sea, using unique skills to counteract the shaking of the ship's hull, which looks like a mess, but in fact stands more firmly than the dragon.
This may sound like a mystery at first glance, but it's actually the most common thing.
Just like the driver in the south to the icy and snowy northeast, when he saw the road surface that was as bright as a mirror, he suddenly became numb, and he didn't know how to drive, and the more he tried to brake the car, the more the car skidd, but the driver in the northeast drove like a flat road.
Is it the high level of driving of Northeast drivers?
Of course not.
There is only one real reason, it's just familiarity.
This was the case with the shepherd and Joseph at this time, if on land, the three Josephs were not the opponents of the shepherd, but when they arrived on the ship, the shepherd was repeatedly attacked because he was not familiar with the sea environment, and he was completely pressed and beaten.
But the shepherd was not only pressed and beaten by Joseph, he was also aware of the problem, and while dodging and resisting, he was also observing Joseph.
It can be said that all the people who can enter the Hidden Dragon have the ability to learn combat beyond ordinary people, and soon he also tried to learn Joseph.
But how can it be so easy to learn, Joseph has been fighting at sea for many years before he has such a completely conditioned reaction today, and the shepherd has not been opened, how can it be possible to learn it by relying on this little battle gap?
Not only did he fail to quickly grasp the way of fighting at sea, but his steps became more messy, and some of the tigers were no longer anti-dogs.
Joseph was overjoyed when he saw this, and his men's attacks became even more violent.
Bang!
The shepherd couldn't dodge, and was hit by another kick, not only was he knocked to the ground, but also thrown out because of the shaking of the ship's hull.
However, this time, Joseph did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but stopped, turned his head to look at Dewey, and asked, "Now the victory and defeat have been divided, right?" ”
This alone shows Joseph's shrewdness, and if he had been replaced by other reckless men, he would have taken the opportunity to go over and put the shepherds to death, but Joseph did not.
Because he knows very well that all he wants is victory or defeat, not life or death.
He can certainly kill the shepherd by chasing the past now, but will the hidden dragon watch it, I'm afraid he will die before he can do it.
Years of pirate experience have taught him that there is no credibility on the battlefield, and even if he wins a duel, his life and death are still in the hands of the Hidden Dragon.
Dewey did not answer, but the voice of the shepherd came first.
"Who said I lost?"
As he spoke, the shepherd stood up propped up on the deck, grabbed his dislocated wrist and pulled and pushed, reput the joint back into place, and after moving twice, hooked his finger at Joseph.
"Good fight, come, let's continue, the fight is not over yet."
Joseph didn't move, continued to look at Dewey and asked, "You should know very well that he can't win against me, and I can't kill him, so shouldn't there be a standard for winning or losing?" ”
"Do you need to add a referee to count the seconds when you step on a horse?" The shepherd walked over to Joseph and said, "If you want a standard, then I'll give you one, and as long as I admit defeat and you'll win." ”
