Chapter 100: The Attacking Pirates
When the morning light is shrouded, the boundless sea is like a pale golden glow, bright and beautiful.
Just after six o'clock, Xia Nuo got up early, kicked Xiao Luo who was lying at the end of his bed out of the window again, went out to wash, and then returned to the room refreshed. According to the ship's schedule, he officially started his shift after noon, so he was free in the morning, just enough to lean on the side of the bed and flip through the logbook left by Zhep.
"On August 10th, it was sunny and cloudy, today was a great day, I and my companions, officially entered the great voyage from the Upside Down Mountain, during which we met a whale called Rab, it kept hitting the red earth continent, let out a wail, it seemed to be waiting for the return of our partners, we didn't speak, but we always had a sense of kinship, if we can achieve our dream, I think, this is our last voyage......"
"Hey, hey, hey, it's really good to set up a flag at the beginning, this flag is too obvious, right?" Holding the yellowed curly logbook in his hand, Xia Nuo was Spartan before he had read the whole page of the first page, and he couldn't help but complain.
The next few pages are detailed descriptions of the weather and weather, and Xia Nuo is not interested in these, so he quickly flips the page and skips over, only when he encounters some useful or interesting information, his eyes will stay on it for two seconds.
"On the 13th of August, we were forced to turn around and arrive at the island of Duru, the westernmost of the seven routes of the Great Route, and from this day we really embarked on a new journey......
"On August 25th, we arrived at Carnival City, where there was a newly opened sea train track, which led directly to the capital of the seven waters, which was quick and convenient, but after some discussion, we agreed that we should continue to move forward and follow the route we had chosen......"
"On September 14th, we arrived at the Food City, which can almost be described as paradise for us chefs......"
"On October 30th, passing through the city of the Queen of Spring, there is a magical triangle ahead, which is unpredictable and too dangerous, so we choose to take a detour to the Chambord Islands......"
……………………
"It only took more than three months to get to the Chambord Islands......" After skipping the boring part, this logbook really became more and more interesting the more I read it, and before I knew it, Xia Nuo read it with relish, and couldn't help but sigh to himself, "Old man, they are smooth enough, and I don't know how much time I will spend to complete the first half of the great voyage......"
Just as they were about to continue to flip back to see if the old man had been to the New World, there was a sudden knock on the door, Xia Nuo was stunned, quickly put away the logbook, got out of bed and opened the door.
Standing outside was a young guard, but seventeen or eighteen years old, Xia Nuo remembered that this person's name was Lan Che, and he had said hello a few times yesterday afternoon, he was smiling all day long, he was a very cheerful boy, but at this time the expression on his face was tense, and Xia Nuo had a bad premonition when he saw it, "What's the matter, something happened outside?" ”
"Well, it seems that the main ship found a pirate ship, and Uncle Takemura asked me to call everyone who was not on duty to go to the deck to assemble." Lan Che nodded, and after a brief explanation, he turned around, and urged before leaving: "Xia Nuo, hurry up, I still have to go to another room to call someone, so let's go first." ”
"Don't worry, it's coming right away!"
After seeing Lan Che run to the other end of the corridor, Xia Nuo frowned, the scale of this caravan of the Drummond family is not huge, just the heavy artillery fire on both sides of the third ship that Xia Nuo is on is a little terrifying, not to mention the main ship that is even larger than the first one, ordinary pirates dare to beat their crooked brains over, isn't it killing themselves?
However, the so-called taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, in the face of this situation, Xia Nuo naturally couldn't ignore it, and immediately took Lake Toya from the corner, then put on his coat, hurriedly went down the stairs, and ran to the outside of the cabin.
When he reached the deck, he found that almost all the guards on the ship were concentrated in front of the railing on the left, and when he looked at the two ships in front and behind, the situation was similar, and Xia Nuo hurriedly squeezed forward and approached the railing.
Standing next to him was Takemura, some of the bandages on his legs had been removed, and his injuries seemed to be much better, and he was holding a telescope at the moment, looking ahead with a solemn face, his hand holding the railing was clenched tightly, and he looked preoccupied, and he didn't even pay attention to Xia Nuo's arrival.
"Even Uncle Wucun is like this, it seems that the other party is not small......"
With such a thought rising in his heart, Xia Nuo did not disturb Wu Village for the first time, but followed his gaze, and sure enough, on the vast sea horizon, there was a huge ship gradually approaching, just looking at the size, it was only a little smaller than the main ship of the caravan.
On the mast, the black pirate flag fluttered in the wind, but because it was too far away, Xia Nuo squinted and couldn't see it clearly for a long time, so he could only poke Wu Village's arm, leaned over and whispered: "I said uncle, do you recognize what kind of pirate group it is?" ”
"Not yet, the other party is far away, and I can't tell the identity for the time being." As soon as he heard the voice, Takemura subconsciously removed the telescope and turned his head to look, after seeing that it was Xia Nuo, a hint of surprise flashed on his face at first, but he immediately pressed it down, and explained in a low voice with a light cough:
"However, every ship in the caravan is ready to attack, and although the size of the pirate group on the other side does not seem to be small, as long as we can show enough force to make the other side retreat, there will be no problem."
"Also, most pirates don't pick too hard bones to gnaw, otherwise they may lose more than they gain." Xia Nuo nodded slightly, and after thinking about it, he leaned his hand over, "Uncle Wucun, lend me the telescope." ”
Hearing this, Takemura handed over the telescope without hesitation, and after Xia Nuo thanked him, he raised the telescope and looked again in the direction just now through the eyepiece.
The shadow of the ship in the line of sight suddenly narrowed a lot, and it was vaguely clear that there were many people gathered on the deck, and the bow of the ship was still a little blurry, but the pirate flag was still a little blurry, Xia Nuo was not in a hurry, just silently held the binoculars, waiting for the pirate ship to approach.
Finally, after half a minute, the scene of the pirate ship finally became clearer, and Xia Nuo was in good spirits, and hurriedly squinted his eyes slightly to take a closer look, but it turned out that he was attracted by the pattern on the sail for the first time.
The next moment, after seeing the pattern clearly, Xia Nuo's jaw almost fell to the ground, and the whole person became dumbfounded:
",...... It can't be such a coincidence, right? ”
I saw that on the white sail filled by the sea breeze, there was a huge white skull, exactly the same style as the pirate flag at the top of the mast, hideous and full of intimidation, but the most eye-catching thing was the middle of the skull's face, the round and big red nose.
The Bucky Pirates!
