Chapter 318: Support Arrives (Second Update)
Atwall, Stuart Seas.
This is the sea where Whitebeard ruled, but it is located on the edge, and Whitebeard occupies the largest and largest territory of all the Four Emperors.
Rumble! Rumble!
One after another, the shells pierced the sky and fell on the sea, blasting waves in all directions.
I saw three ships flying different pirate flags, chasing one from two directions that looked a little dilapidated and seemed to have experienced a big battle.
On the mast of this ship, the flag representing the 'Ghost Hand' is hoisted.
On deck.
Kaku was standing there, one of his arms was bandaged, hanging on his chest, there were blood stains on the bandage, and a bandage was also wrapped horizontally around his waist, faintly blood spilled, and the injury was not light.
Just then, a cannonball fell from the sky and smashed straight into Kaku's head.
Rumble!
A figure jumped up, rushed into the sky, smashed the cannonball with his fist, and fell back to the ship in the smoke of gunpowder, the figure looked very embarrassed, as if it had also experienced a big battle.
Bruno, who blocked a cannonball for Kaku, gritted his teeth and looked at the three pirate ships under the command of the Whitebeard Pirates who were chasing after him.
"Kaku, we may not be able to stop it if this continues."
"Keep up with ......"
Kaku was seriously injured, but the whole person stood on the deck with a cold and resolute expression.
"Captain Hiryu is already on his way."
Rumble!
A cannonball fell and smashed into the edge of the hull, causing the whole ship to shake for a moment.
Soon a man covered in water ran out of the cabin in a panic and said, "Lord Kaku, a hole has been blown open in the side of the ship, and water has come in!" ”
“……”
Kaku gritted his teeth slightly and said, "What about it?" Let him help and plug the hole first! ”
A hole was blown open in the edge of the hull, and it was naturally not so easy to plug it, and he, Gabra, and Bruno were all capable people, so they could only let the fourth person take it to help.
"Yes! But then the starboard side was left undefended. ”
"I can't care so much."
Kaku spoke in a deep voice and said, "Anyway, this ship can't sink yet!" ”
The nearest island was still some way away, and in his heyday he might have been able to fly by the moon, but now most of them were wounded and were, and without a boat they would have perished at sea.
Although Bruno's Door Fruit can open the door by air and cross a certain space, it has a large distance limit, and he can't open the door between the two islands with his ability.
"Kaku ......"
Bruno's face was a little gloomy, and he said, "Is it still too late?" ”
The Whitebeard Pirates are fast, but they've been chasing them for a long time, as they flee to their home base.
"Absolutely."
Kaku said coldly, "Captain Hiryu may not come over so soon, but the people of the nearest third team have already been dispatched. ”
The Whitebeard Pirates are like a hornet's nest, and when you stab them, they will swarm out in an instant, but the Ghost Hand Pirates are no different!
Now that the power network of the Ghost Hand Pirates has been gradually spread, Hiryu Yuno and the others who are sitting in the sea area of all nations may come slowly, but there are other teams that are closer and dispatched earlier.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Due to the distance between the ships, several ships under the command of the Whitebeard Pirates were shelled from a distance, and ordinary long-range attacks could not hit the ships that Kaku and the others were riding.
There are a lot of people who will walk in the moon in the new world, but there will not be many of them, at least at the level of cadres, on the ships of these Whitebeard Pirates, there are few cadres who can use the moon steps, but they don't dare to rush to the ship of Kaku and the others alone on the moon steps.
"Keep banging me!"
"Hard, don't stop!"
On the three ships under Whitebeard, the captain and cadres all held swords and ordered their subordinates to load shells and bombard the ships of Kaku and others.
But after all, the pirate's ship is a pirate's ship, and the power of its cannon fire is far from the level of a warship, and even if there are three ships, the cannonball network formed cannot destroy Kaku's ship in a short time.
Kaku and the others' ship was a light sailing ship, and the speed would have been faster, but because of the damage to the hull, it was impossible to shake off the ship under Whitebeard's command, so they could only keep fleeing.
An hour......
Two hours......
Little by little, time passed.
Kaku's ship was getting more and more damaged, and it was gradually becoming a little overwhelmed.
And at this moment, two shells suddenly and accurately crossed two arcs and fell towards the hull, one on the deck and the other on the mast.
Bruno blocked the one that smashed into the deck, but could not do anything about the one that smashed into the mast.
Rumble!
In the smoke of gunpowder, the shell hit the top of the mast.
Click!
About a third of the top of the huge mast was broken and broken by the wood, and the sails were broken with the top of the mast, and the ship could no longer carry the ship.
"Well done!"
"Hahaha, look at how they still run!"
On the three ships under Whitebeard's command, there was a sinister laugh.
The people on the Kaku boat, when they saw that the mast was broken, their faces changed, there were no sails, the hull was not even powerless, and the people behind could immediately catch up.
"I'm coming!"
Bruno gritted his teeth, jumped to the mast, grabbed the broken mast, and pressed it against the broken branch with his arms.
"That's not going to work...... He didn't last long. ”
Kaku looked up, his face was still a little depressed, if it was in his heyday, with Bruno's strength, he could hold on to the mast for a while.
But after a naval battle, and a chase that has not stopped until now, Bruno has little stamina at all, and he can't last long.
And the mast was badly damaged, and it was no longer able to reach the previous speed.
But.
Just as Kaku's fists were clenched, Bruno, who was holding the mast, suddenly looked up at the sea in the distance, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.
"Kaku! Our people are coming! ”
"Huh?"
Kaku also looked uplifted when he heard this, and suddenly looked up into the distance, only to see three boat shadows appear on the sea level over there.
The navigator standing next to Kaku took out his binoculars and took a look, and clearly saw that the three ships were all flying the flag of the Ghost Hand Pirates, and the number 'three' was marked.
"It's reinforcements from the Sanban team!"
He put down the binoculars, and the whole person almost jumped up with joy, the feeling of being on the verge of death, but suddenly desperate for life, no one can remain calm anymore.
Kaku took a deep breath, took a look at the binoculars, and said, "Three ships...... It seems that a large force has been dispatched. ”
Although Fischerman, the captain of the third team, is not there, the vice captain and the cadres under his command are also excellent figures, and they often deal with them.
The captain of the Rokuban team is Robin, and Kaku's current position is the vice-captain of the Rokuban team, and Gabra and Bruno are three or four seats in turn.
