Chapter 20: Shelling

A day later...

A medium-sized sailing ship with a large hole in its hull and a patched mast sails on the sea.

The blue sea is blue and sparkling, like a brilliant star from the sky, falling here into a majestic brilliant crystal.

However, Galen did not pay attention to the magnificence of nature.

"Hurry up! The wind is about to change! ”

"Adjust the headsail position by hand!"

Nami sat with Jiro's legs crossed like an overseer, and pointed at Galen angrily and said:

"You can't even control a sail line, how can you sail on the sea?"

"Woohoo!"

Tae Ri Tian bit a few sail ropes in his mouth, and he didn't forget to bark out to fight Nami.

"Got it!"

Galen also had a depressed face and a secret headache at the messy pile of sail ropes.

The ship was not small, and it should have been operated by more than ten professional sailors;

But now there were only three people on the ship, and even Wallace had been ducked off the shelves to be the helmsman, and the only one who could help Galen with a little of the work was Teddy, the loyal dog.

Although it can't do any delicate work, it can still do it to help Galen pull the sail rope.

And Nami's rebuke from the nautical expert sounded in his ears again:

"It's too slow!"

"Didn't I teach you all the ways to tie knots?!"

"You're going to do it yourself!"

Galen said angrily:

"There are nine ways to tie a knot, who can remember?"

"If you can't remember, practice more!"

"Tie different knots according to different situations, but you can save life-saving time at critical moments!"

Nami lay comfortably on the recliner in the distance and casually taught Galen, and smiled smugly again:

"Besides, I'm a navigator and not a sailor, so it's not my turn to do manual work."

"If you want to blame, blame you for being uneducated!"

“......”

Galen was speechless, he knew astronomy and geography, and even the birth of the universe and the black hole-shaped CD could talk about two unclear theories, but he had never learned to sail with a wooden sailboat.

"How long will it take?"

Galen asked gloomily, already feeling the boredom of the sea voyage.

"If you can get the sails right..."

Nami said casually, "There's almost a full day to go." ”

"One day?"

Galen's face darkened.

"Don't grind! Get to work! ”

Nami did not hesitate to urge her coolie Galen:

"It's a circumferential current near the windless zone!"

"If you don't adjust the sails, we'll be blown into the windless belt to feed the sea kings!"

"Yes..."

Galen pulled up the heavy sail rope with a dark face, and couldn't help but whisper:

"What about a nautical trip with wine and meat and a sightseeing tour? How did I come here to be a coolie! ”

"I'm sorry..."

Nami looked intently at the chart in her hand as she unceremoniously struck Galen:

"Sailing at sea, that's how boring!"

"Want to be an idiot captain who only drinks and eats meat? Stop dreaming! ”

"Ugh..."

Galen muttered to himself:

"Working as a coolie here, I'd rather fight the pirates for 300 rounds."

"Knight-sama?!"

Wallace's slightly frightened voice rang out in the bow of the ship.

In addition to the helmsman, Wallace also barely took on the role of lookout: "A pirate ship has appeared!" ”

As soon as the words fell...

A black spherical cannonball whistled down from the sky and slammed straight down on the ship where Galen and Big Teddy were.

"Cannonballs?"

Galen's heart sank, but he immediately calmed down:

This old-fashioned solid cannonball is still attacking with kinetic energy, the killing range is extremely limited, and the flight speed is not too fast, so with his current physical fitness, there is no need to worry about it at all.

So Galen relied on his little superman-level dynamic vision to accurately judge the landing point of the cannonball, and avoided two steps out unhurriedly, accurately and elegantly.

And then the shells fell ...

This "solid cannonball" that Galen looked down on was shining abnormally at this moment.

The huge shockwave was accompanied by the light and heat that was released in an instant, and a brilliant mushroom cloud bloomed in place.

"What kind of black technology is this?!"

Galen was stunned.

Before he could finish his sentence, he and the big teddy who was also affected rolled tightly together, and was bombarded into the sky by this cannonball...

.............................................................

Not so long ago...

Not far from the Galen ship, there is another pirate ship that is racing in the same course.

This pirate ship is not easy!

A subordinate of One Piece Roger, the red-haired friend of the Four Emperors, he once competed with legendary pirates such as Whitebeard and Golden Lion at sea, and escaped under the pursuit of the naval hero Karp...

A powerful man with such a terrifying resume is sitting on this inconspicuous pirate ship at this moment.

He is the terrifying character whose name can be pronounced backwards to hit the river crab god across dimensions, Bucky.

At this moment, Bucky the Clown is leading a group of tigers and wolves to run rampant in the East China Sea.

"Did you find it?"

"Did you find it?"

Fifteen million Bailey's sea thief Bucky angrily interrogated the navigators around him several times:

"What about the Steelblade Pirates?"

"No, no..."

The navigator replied with a wince:

"We've been with each other for days..."

"I'm afraid that the treasures that were stolen will not be recovered!"

The great Captain Bucky's face turned red all at once, and he patted the armrest of his seat in shame:

"What do you mean to be a treasure that has been 'snatched'?!"

"How could my clown Bucky be robbed of a treasure by a small character like Steel Knife!!"

"Yes, yes..."

The trembling navigator immediately changed to a slightly nicer word:

"It's a batch of treasures stolen by those insidious villains..."

"Huh?"

Bucky the Clown is still a little dissatisfied.

Another thick-skinned minion immediately came up and said:

"It's our great Lord Bucky, a treasure for the younger little pirates!"

Bucky finally nodded in satisfaction.

But in fact...

The Bucky Pirates, who have the best friend of the Four Emperors, Lord Bucky, were indeed deflated in front of the 10 million-level Steel Knife Pirates a few days ago.

Although the other party was defeated and fled, the treasures worth more than two million Baileys that the two sides fought for fell into the hands of the Steel Knife Pirates.

And Bucky, the clown who was angry but wanted to win another game, led his subordinates to cruise the sea for a long time, but no trace of the Steel Knife Pirates was found.

"Or..."

Moki, the vice-captain of the Bucky Pirates and known as the Beast Envoy, couldn't help but suggest:

"Captain Bucky, shall we give up this time?"

"If you continue to look aimlessly like this, it's a waste of effort..."

"Hmm..."

Bucky was silent, a large red nose bulging with annoyance, looking extremely funny.

If this field is not recovered, he, the 15 million Bailey pirate, will inevitably become a stepping stone for the younger generations to ascend to the top;

But with a group of men searching the sea like headless flies, it is indeed a thankless loss-making business.

"Captain Bucky!"

Just when Bucky hesitated, the lookout standing on the mast suddenly shouted excitedly: "Found it!" ”

"Oh?"

Bucky's eyes lit up, and he instantly used his superpower of splitting the Devil Fruit, allowing his head to fly up seven or eight meters from his body, until the lookout warehouse in the high place could not stop.

The lookout pointed in one direction, and playfully propped up a telescope tube for Bucky, whose head was dangling:

"The Steel Knife Pirates, right there!"

"Although the other party lowered the pirate flag, I still won't admit that ship, there is still a gap in the hull from our cannons!"

Bucky also saw the familiar enemy ship clearly through the telescope, and couldn't help but smirk:

"Hahaha!"

"In order to avoid the majesty of my Lord Bucky, don't you even dare to hang the pirate flag?!"

"I'm going to let you arrogant juniors know today what happened to me Lord Bucky!"

"Captain?"

The chief of staff of the Bucky Pirates, a third-rate swordsman known as "Quyi", Kabaji, immediately asked:

"Is it gang hopping, or is it long-range shelling?"

"Hmm..."

Bucky pondered for a moment, thinking to himself:

Although the Steel Knife Pirates pose no threat to themselves, the Devil Fruit power, their crew is all outlaws who dare to fight with knives, and they are much more powerful than the jugglers under their command;

Last time, he despised the opponent's hand-to-hand combat ability, so that the junior pirates took advantage of themselves.

So Bucky laughed out loud:

"Hahaha!"

"These treacherous villains who don't respect their predecessors, you don't need to tell them anything about morality!"

"Just bombard the fuck with a cannon!"

Bucky waved his hand again and commanded to Vice-Captain Mochi:

"Second Captain!"

"Pull out Lao Tzu's big bucky cannon!"
