The battle was on the verge of breaking out, and the fighting was extremely fierce.

In the crimson blood light, the severed limbs and stumps of the fish-people continued to fly out horizontally, and the rich fishy smell and blood were mixed together, and the sea surface was intertwined with sweet, salty and foul smells.

The sailors also suffered heavy losses, not to mention that there were still gaps in the defensive circle, and the underwater attack of the fishmen alone made them unbearable. People were dragged from under the water and then dismembered in screams.

Coupled with the terrible numerical superiority of the fishmen, the crew was almost suppressed to the death, and the survival circle was constantly eroded.

There was still some time before the Jackdaw sailed back, and every minute and second left had to be delayed with flesh and blood.

Boom!

Rorschach swung a heavy backhand with a sharp blade, and the miserable white sword light was as fast as a match, setting off a strong wind in the air, and the speed and the huge blade of the knife looked completely incompatible, and this blow alone forced back at least three fishmen.

He was the only one in the group to possess a heavy weapon, and the greatsword was hidden in a ring, a gift from the other members of the group when they disbanded. Although it is a valuable storage item, it is actually pitifully small enough to accommodate a heavy sword, and the only advantage is that it is easy to use.

And right now, he is floating on the water, and every time he takes out his heavy sword, he must soar into the air, and put it away immediately before he has fallen after swinging a sword, otherwise he will be carried into the water by the weight of the sword if he is not careful, and then he will be completely dragged to the bottom of the sea by the fishman who rushes in front of him.

In just a few breaths, he felt soreness and weakness all over his body, his chest seemed to be pulling the bellows, and dizziness began to appear in front of him, as if it was a sign of physical exhaustion.

Fortunately, this sword made a lot of space for his teammates, and Shami seized the opportunity, roared angrily, and jumped up like a seagull out of the water, chasing the fleeing fish-man and pounced.

His short sword was like a snake out of a hole, fast and precise, piercing two fishmen in the blink of an eye.

"Be careful!"

However, there was no time to show off his achievements, and before Shami could fall, a black shadow pounced on his right shoulder.

These things know how to attack their dominant hands, and they're so accurate!

Bang!

William appeared out of nowhere and crashed into the shadow, saving Shami's life.

The black shadow fell into the water, and it was the leader of this group of fishmen, the half-human-tall grayfin fishman.

The blow failed, and a hint of human mockery flashed in the guy's huge eyes, and he retreated.

Unlike humans, these guys have webbed feet, like a power stove installed behind their buttocks, and can accelerate their sprints anytime and anywhere, plus they can't see clearly at night, and they are elusive and extremely difficult.

At present, almost all the sailors are wounded, and the encirclement of the fish-men has been reduced by more than half, and they are forced to squeeze together, and they are simply meat on the board, to be slaughtered.

In an instant, William backhanded his sword and split a half-meter-tall rotten scale fishman in the air, and the colorful internal organs fell down. It had pounced on a combat-ready sailor, who was covered in blood, clutching the planks that had floated by, his face bloodless, and he was already delirious.

William couldn't save him after all, and the three fishmen who had already dived underwater grabbed the rope around his waist, and although the crew realized that the situation was wrong and struggled, they had no strength to cut the rope, and the others could not rush to the rescue, so they could only watch him plop and sink into the sea, and finally be dragged into the enemy pile and brutally dismembered.

Blood stained the sea red, and circles smeared open.

Once again, the human defenses have shrunk.

However, as their numbers dwindled, their combat strength gradually became strong enough to enclose all the wounded in them, leaving not a single gap.

Seeing this, the fish people also temporarily stopped their attack, screaming and looking at this side viciously.

Rorschach and Chammie were back to back, each watching the water warily.

"Ever been in the army? I saw the shadow of military swordsmanship. Shami asked.

Rorschach was slightly surprised, but nodded anyway.

"Yes, but retired."

"Retirement? Scold...... I'm afraid it's 'deactivated'. I know the nature of the eye of the storm all the better......"

Rorschach couldn't help but laugh, "You too?" ”

Shami tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Hehe...... Drunk assault on superiors, what about you? ”

Rorschach hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Identity fraud." ”

Xia Mi was slightly stunned, "Your name is not Rorschach?" ”

"Rorschach Prussia. This time it was not faked. ”

Mr. Gibbs couldn't help but whistle.

"What's going on these days, I've probably used up all my life's good luck, and what kind of big people have I met...... Captain Barbossa, the mage boss, the sea beast-class ship, and now one more general...... Tsk, a chance to have a drink? ”

"Haha, no problem, we need to get these fish bubbles right now."

"I hope so." A hint of worry flashed in Shami's eyes.

The other side seems to be just stalling for time.

……

The Jackdaw shifted its bloated body, and finally turned around and headed towards the sailors.

The heavy feeling of oppression was like a dark cloud hanging overhead, and even his own people felt a chill, not to mention these fishmen who bullied the soft and feared the hard.

"Woo la puff"

The tall fish-man at the head spat out a string of words as if commanding, and the fish-man scattered in a hurry, and fled without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a bewildered crew member and the blood on the sea.

After a brief moment of stunnedness, the crew came to their senses.

"Are we saved?"

"Yes, we were saved......"

Nearly twenty people disembarked, and now only eleven people remain...... Even after being rescued on the boat, the survivors' eyes were a little sad.

The crew, like soldiers, is accustomed to seeing life and death, and guesses that they will die in the belly of a fish. But no one wants to lie in the sea like this.

Fortunately, the captain had already prepared the hot rum, and the hot and spicy liquor drove away the cold of the sea and the sadness in his heart, and the rest was the satisfaction and happiness of the rest of his life.

The matter came to an end for the time being, but Barbossa did not let his guard down.

"Send them down to rest, the others continue to work, the launcher does not move, reload!"

"Huh? Why? It's not already ......"

"Who allowed you to question the captain!"

Blackbeard slapped the guardrail, and the questioning sailor was suddenly silent.

"Send them down to rest, I'll stay."

Shami stepped forward, standing side by side with the captain.

Barbossa gave the young man a somewhat approving look.

"See?"

Shami shook her head, "I'm not sure, I just think ...... The fish-men appeared in a strange way. As if their purpose was to stall for time, and not to really get their hands on the ship. Be...... Does it smell of blood? ”

"That's pretty much right." Barbossa sighed, "As soon as they delayed, it will be difficult for the Jackdaw to speed up for the time being, and the smell of blood will spread, and the tiger shark will soon be able to find it." ”

"But that thing isn't hard to deal with with the Jackdaw."

"Yes, for a sea beast-class ship, the tiger shark is indeed not difficult to deal with...... But that thing was a real Sea Clan mount. Even if they haven't reached the Moby Dick Islands yet, there will be no shortage of sea tribe riders in this area, but they usually don't attack human ships...... But such a large ship, heading straight for the Moby Dick Islands, how could there be less interrogation and scrutiny. At this point, the captain seemed to remember the past, and his eyes grew cold.

"Even the ship of the Turing Chamber of Commerce, after being caught up by the Sea Clan, has to be inspected amicably, do you think a young man with strong blood like the boss can bear it? Once we fight the Sea Clan, it's not as simple as an attack. ”

Xia Mi's face froze and lowered her voice.

"Is it the people of Stormfang who are doing the hell?"

"Perhaps, or maybe it's coming for this ship." Barbossa shrugged disapprovingly, "I knew it wasn't that easy to earn." ”

The Jackdaw restarted, moving away from the washed away pool of blood, and the remaining smell of blood in the air was quickly blown away by the sea breeze.

But as Barbossa said, the speed of the big ship could not be increased for the time being, and at this moment, dozens of nautical miles behind the Jackdaw, a cavalry team of tiger sharks was rapidly approaching.
