Chapter 249: Another robbery
There is a moat between the Arctic West and the Endless Sea, known as the "Chaotic Wind Belt". It is like a ribbon on the sea, separating the Far West from the Endless Sea. Although it is not as dangerous as the "Nightmare Ghost", it is also the dream burial place of countless adventurers who are unfamiliar with the route...
There are not only countless extremely aggressive giant sea kings living in the "chaotic wind belt", but the chaotic storm has also caused some very strange sea weather, such as cliff-like weird sea tides, funnel-like bottomless sea whirlwinds, sucking water-inhaling seaspouts and old shipwrecks that have fallen from the sky inexplicably...
For countless years, people have also explored a relatively stable and safe shipping route, which is relatively mild and rare, and the storm currents are relatively stable...
And the starting point of this route in the Black Sea is the mouth of the sea heavily guarded by the world's government navy, the headquarters base of the Black Sea Navy!
The Black Sea has become an asura.
The revolutionary army and the navy of the world government exchanged fire, and the battle would probably be turned upside down. In addition to the Tianlan royal capital, there is also a main battlefield that is the mouth of the sea controlled by this navy.
Raymond and the others successfully escaped from the royal capital, so it was naturally impossible to bury their heads in another meat grinding battlefield.
In the game, players in the World Governor's camp will choose to sail smoothly from the navy to the sea, smoothly and quickly.
Players in the pirate camp have another route to "stow away", although there are risks, but there will be many more opportunities in the wild.
Raymond was familiar with both paths, so with a wave of his hand, he demarcated the sailing direction of the "Golden Ghost".
"Anna, listen to me, go this way!"
With this swing, he almost didn't let the "Ghost Pirates" die before they could get out of the division.
......
Half a month later,
"Captain, did you tell you about this voyage from the troubadour? But... We seem to be lost now. ”
"Look for it again? I remember that two thousand nautical miles to the east there was a reef area..."
"To the east? Northeast, Southeast, how many degrees? ”
"Uh... Anyway, it's going east..."
At this moment, Anna's mood is broken.
She felt that the information provided by Raymond all along must be correct, and she never missed it. This time, she blindly obeyed the blind command of this seafaring idiot captain...
Unexpectedly, this time the "troubadour" in his mouth did not work.
When she entered the "Chaos Wind Belt", Anna still felt that everything was normal, and Raymond was also commanding the head of the way... But not long after the ship traveled, after entering the vast and boundless open sea, Raymond actually said that he couldn't tell the direction either.
There are obvious landmarks near the mouth of the Black Sea, and when you plunge headlong into the chaotic wind belt, you realize that it is completely different from what people think.
The real sea is like a person lost in the desert, unable to find his way, and it is likely that he will not be able to see any reference after walking for several months...
Except for the sea, it is still the sea, a piece of blue, the sea and the sky are the same color, there is no reference...
If it weren't for the "Endless Compass", they probably wouldn't even be able to tell the exact southeast, northwest, and northwest.
Raymond then realized that he had made a low-level mistake.
He only knew that all the way to the east, there were more or less nautical miles of coordinate references, shipwrecks, islands, reefs... In the game, there is a GPS-like system map, and the player does not need to find his own way at all, and can automatically sail by clicking on a destination. Sailing in a non-combat state can also be selected for system acceleration, and tens of thousands of nautical miles may be instantaneous...
But in the real world, you have to sail nautical mile by nautical mile.
If it weren't for the good performance of the "Golden Ghost", if it weren't for the high-level navigator Anna, if it weren't for the fact that they had enough spare coal in their storage space, if it weren't for the low-level Sea Kings, why wouldn't they be able to have a few bigwigs on board...
Without this myriad ifs,
In other words, the ordinary pirate group has already been wiped out countless times in this chaotic wind belt.
Raymond's blind command almost strangled the future One Piece Heavenly Troupe in the cradle.
"Captain... This is the precise route you swear? ”
"It's too lax to go all the way east..."
"Did you know that if the angle of a long-distance ship deviates by one degree, the final destination will deviate less?"
"Idiot Captain, I'll bite you to death..."
“...”
Finally, under Raymond's blind command, they got lost in the chaotic wind belt.
Raymond, the great captain, could not lift his head by the number of his beautiful navigators.
Colin knows how to build ships, but he is not proficient in navigation, not to mention that this guy is also an avid scientist, he and Lulu both have their own laboratories on the ship, these two are the kind of typical dead houses, one head into the laboratory, can not go out for several months, the kind of house is wasted and old.
Raymond is a complete nautical idiot...
Therefore, since entering the chaotic sea, Anna has not been able to stay in the control room at all times to avoid danger. Raymond didn't pay attention, and she could only follow the direction of the "Endless Compass" pointer, where to go...
But this navigator lady is not lightly tired.
Raymond's only use now is to sense whether there are any large sea kings in the surrounding sea, so that he can tell Anna to avoid them in advance. And then... At most, in addition to practicing, I chatted with the boring Miss Navigator and reminded her not to drive tired and have accidents...
After this battle, he had already figured out that the next time he found a human gathering point, the first thing he had to do was to buy a detailed chart and see if he could recruit a good cook.
In this kind of dangerous sea area, Anna can't leave the override room at all times, and no one cooks at all. Once Colin and Lulu are immersed in research, they will not eat the fireworks of the world at all.
The man's responsibility can only fall on the head of Raymond, the dignified captain.
Eating dry food and half-cooked marine fish all day long, I feel that the nutrition cannot keep up at all... Even the monkey Gigi hated the food he cooked.
let alone
Raymond is also very fond of the kind of high-quality "cooking food" that can increase attribute points!
......
The "Golden Ghost" wandered in the chaotic wind belt for a month or two, and with Anna's unremitting efforts, it finally escaped the aura of annihilation.
In the last few days, the waves have become noticeably smoother, and the chaotic storm has gradually disappeared.
Raymond knew that they had finally made it out of the chaotic wind belt safely.
But now it's embarrassing,
They don't know where they're heading, so they can only follow the direction of the "Endless Compass", and they don't know how soon they will encounter another human settlement.
On this day, the shadow of a huge sea ship finally appeared in the telescope.
"Captain! Look, there's a ship over there. ”
Anna shouted with excitement on her face.
When she could see the skeletal flag hanging on the ship, she pursed her mouth again and said, "But... It's like a pirate ship. ”
It's like you haven't eaten meat in months, and suddenly you see a wild boar intruding into view, how can you not be excited?
Where would a guy like Raymond with green eyes let go of this opportunity?
He didn't care if it was a pirate ship or not, and said urgently: "Hurry, hurry, hurry... Let's catch up, play the flag, and communicate! By the way, ask for directions..."
"Oh."
Anna just wanted to go out to play the flag, but at this time, she turned her head strangely and said, "I don't think I need to chase... Captain, they have already flagged and warned. Let's not move, or we're going to fire. ”
Raymond: "Huh? ”
Anna spread her hands and looked at Raymond with a smile: "Probably... They are trying to rob us. ”
"Oh, that's fine..."
A bright smile appeared on the corner of Raymond's mouth, "Then stop the boat... Let them come. ”
He didn't expect that when he first came to the Endless Sea, he gave them a special meeting gift.
......
The Golden Ghost didn't run, it was like a roe deer that had been scared and stupid and stayed quietly in place.
Raymond stood on the deck and looked at the group of pirates from a distance, probably guessing that the other party seemed to be a "slave ship".
In the perception of seeing and hearing, there were tens of thousands of people crowded in the cabin of the pirate ship, but their strength was very weak, most of them were Sequence 8, Sequence 9, and even some ordinary people who were very weak 'Qi'. And the group of pirates on the ship, the strongest is only a few Sequence 4 transcendents with a vain breath.
"Ouch, Captain Marcus, it looks like a fat sheep! If you look at their boats, they look like they're worth a lot of money. ”
"Haha... As soon as the flag was lit, I was so scared that I didn't dare to move, I guess it was a chick from a noble family who came out to play a nautical adventure game, and I haven't encountered a robbery yet... Maybe you can get a lot of money if you tie up the meat ticket! ”
"It's a lucky day today, I just captured such a large number of slaves, and I can slaughter a fat sheep along the way... Tut, brothers, get ready to board! ”
“...”
......
On the "Golden Ghost", all the crew, four people and one monkey stood on the deck together.
Even the two dead houses, Lulu and Colin, heard that they had met a living person, and they were excited to run out of the laboratory to see what was new. These guys had no idea of being robbed at all, and stood in a row in a daze, staring at the ship of pirates sharpening their knives like curious babies.
The pirates' words were naturally listened to by a few people.
Raymond pursed his lips and said, "Colin, I also think our ship seems to be a little too dazzling... Shall we paint it with a rust when that's done? Otherwise, it seems to be a trouble to be remembered by others all the time. ”
Colin: "Okay. ”
Raymond looked at the two of them again: "Do you even want to move your hands and feet?" ”
Lulu: "Forget it... Just a few rookie pirates, it's not enough for the captain to cut you alone. ”
Raymond pouted, "Oh, too." ”
At this moment, the two ships were already very close.
Both sides could already clearly see the expressions on the faces of the pirates.
Raymond and the others could hear each other clearly, and the pirates on the other side could naturally hear them clearly.
......
[Steam Gunner] Richards is the leader of the "Iron Hand Pirates", he is the peak master of Sequence 4 who has comprehended a mystery. And their pirate group has a total of five Sequence 4 masters, and more than twenty Sequence 5 transcendents. In this sea area, it is already considered a very strong force.
"Could it be a prickly idea? San'er, are you sure that there are only these four people on the perception ship, and there are no other masters lurking? ”
"I'm sure I'm only four alive! At best, there's the monkey... And their highest strength seems to be a swordsman with two swords, which is only a sequence 6 level. ”
"Hmm... I'll test it first, and you'll see the way I look at it later. ”
How can these spearhead children not be afraid of pirates at all? Charlize always had a sense of crisis lingering in his heart, but he always felt that he had been a little too careful. How could they be intimidated by a few teenagers by such a powerful "Bloody Hand Pirates"?
Moments later,
The two ships were only a few dozen meters apart, and the "Golden Ghost", a small predator-class battleship, was suddenly compared to the "Iron Hand", a behemoth like an aircraft carrier.
Charlize saw that Raymond's ship did not have a flag and no family crest, so he asked, "Hey, where are you from?" ”
Raymond said bluntly: "The Black Sea." ”
"Hmm... Black Sea? ”
Charlize thought for a long time, and then wondered: "You are talking about the Black Sea west of the 'Chaotic Wind Belt'?" ”
"Yes! We were ready to go to sea for an adventure, but then we strayed into the 'Storm Pirates' and got lost, and finally got out, and now I don't know where we are..."
Before Raymond could finish his sentence, the pirate on the opposite side interrupted him.
Charlize cautiously asked, "Are you pirates?" ”
"Hmm... Sort of. ”
Raymond thought about it, they were all wanted criminals in a boatload, and they were all pirates.
"Oh?"
Charlize asked again, "What are you called pirates, and is there a bounty?" ”
"Hmm... The group we just formed is called the 'Ghost Pirates' for the time being. ”
Raymond was like a child who was drawn by a teacher to answer a question, and obediently answered question by question: "There is a wanted bounty... I was offered a bounty of 48 million quarks. ”
Then he pointed to Anna, "She's 18 million",
Pointing to Colin, "He's 10 million"
Lulu's latest reward of 8 million hasn't been said yet... But at this time, the pirates didn't seem interested in listening to it at all, and one by one they sneered and laughed contemptuously.
"Wow... The sea thieves with a bounty of 48 million are also..."
"Haha... Probably a small sea area like the Black Sea, this is already the highest bounty. ”
"Little ghosts, this is our head 'Iron Hand' Charlize, and he is a sea thief with a bounty of 88 million... Uncle, there are eight of us in the pirate group of more than 50 million..."
"Oh, Mondo, don't scare them. It's hard for people to go to sea with the dream of 'finding the treasure of One Piece', you can't discourage them like this... Hahaha...."
"Tsk... Recently, the news of 'One Piece Treasure' has come out, and I really dare to go to sea with any kind of goods. Sailing is not a child's trip, these guys are really."
“...”
Hearing Raymond's report on the bounty, Charlize's worry finally dissipated.
He asked the amount of the bounty, in fact, he was evaluating the strength of the other party, if it was really a pirate group with a great background, maybe he would be afraid.
Or, if these boys are really some noble juniors with great backgrounds in the nearby seas, and they encounter pirates and robbery, the first thing they think of must be to report to their homes for self-protection, and how much they can do with it.
But this "ghost pirates" have never heard of it, and it is obvious that they can only come out of a remote place like the Black Sea and have never seen the world.
Don't be afraid.
