The lookout said it would collide, and that was no joke.

Now that Ian's ship was close to the top of the mountain, the field of view had expanded accordingly due to the shrinking area, and naturally they had seen the ship that the lookout had said.

It was a ship coming from the South China Sea Channel, and at this time it was almost at the same level as Ian's ship in the channel, and at a glance, you could see most of the other party's hull, and the ship looked like it was still wearing a black pirate flag, and it seemed to be a pirate ship.

When Ian and they saw each other, the other party naturally also saw Ian's ship, and if they compared the positions a little, they would understand the seriousness of the matter.

This time not only Ian and the people on their boat panicked, but the other party also panicked, because the speed of the water in the four channels is almost the same, so the moment they reach the top of the mountain, there is a high probability that the two ships will collide, and at such a high speed, both ships may be knocked apart.

"Quick! Zhang Fan slow down! Bill yelled.

However, before the sailors could carry out his orders, Ian grabbed him and said, "No! Don't forget, there's a boat behind us! Once we open our sails, we won't be able to hit that pirate ship, but we will collide with the ships behind us! ”

Bill was reminded at this time, and he suddenly reacted that his side couldn't slow down at all, so he could only look at the pirate ship, hoping that they could detect this and let them slow down.

However, the difficult thing is at this point, Ian They are a fleet, in addition to the first ship, there are other ships one after another, even if the other party slows down, it will not hit Ian and their ship, but the final result may still hit other trailing ships!

Slowing down is impossible unless they speed up and get ahead of Ian before they pass.

But at this time, on the fairway, all the ships are carried forward by the current, so that they are in a state of climbing, completely against the wind, and opening the sails can only slow down, but cannot achieve the purpose of acceleration.

In fact, Ian and they should all be happy, this is fortunately from the South China Sea, if it is a ship from the West Sea, it is equivalent to being on the channel opposite Ian, and they can't see it at all, and when they can really see it, they have already collided.

And now, both sides have seen each other, and there is still time to deal with it.

Ian's side was unable to slow down due to the ships behind them, so the sailors stood on the side of the ship and desperately followed Bill's instructions, waving the flag to the other side, hoping that they would speed up and pass first.

The other party didn't respond, but it didn't take long, probably five or six seconds, when suddenly several black dots flew out of the pirate ship.

Ian hadn't realized what it was at first, but by the time he did, the black dot was already approaching their ship!

Aggressive! Aggressive! Ian's ship was attacked by dozens of black sharp stingers, these needles were about a meter long, sharp at the top and thick at the bottom, black as steel, with a screaming sound from the opposite side, as soon as they landed on Ian's ship, they slammed into the hull of the ship.

The force of this sharp needle gives people the feeling that they have been shot by a crossbow, and two or three fingers thick planks can pierce through it! Before Ian could push Captain Bill to the ground, a sting needle flew over his head and slammed into the deck not far in front of him.

Looking at the slightly trembling tail of the stinger, Bill's soul was frightened and exclaimed, "They can't accelerate, so they want to destroy our ship!" ”

As if confirming Bill's words, dozens of stingers flew in, piercing Ian's ship to pieces, and many sailors on deck were pierced by these stingers, and Ian even saw a sailor just run when a stinger whistled and pierced his thigh!

The screams kept coming, and as they got closer to the top of the hill, the other ships got closer and closer, and more stingers flew over, threatening not to give up until they destroyed Ian's ship.

Ian also knew that since the other party was a pirate, there was nothing to talk about, and the dead friends were not poor and poor, so they naturally had no scruples when they started.

"All hide behind me!" Ian got up again and shouted to the crowd.

The sailors on the ship were already in a mess, but after hearing the shouts, they had some backbone, and they all crawled behind Ian, regardless of whether Ian could really save them.

Ian steadied himself on the boat, looking at the new round of stabbing needles thrown from the opposite ship, Ian exhaled, put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and saw the opportunity to draw the knife sharply, and hit the wind barrier against those stingers!

With a snort, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the ship, and because the wind was invisible, the sailors didn't know what Ian was doing, but they were surprised to find that the stinger shot from the opposite side, when it approached the side of the ship, was like encountering a layer of cushioning, and the strong flight force disappeared in an instant, and fell from mid-air messily and landed on the deck.

Seeing this scene, everyone, including Bill, cheered, they didn't know what Ian had done, only that with Ian there, those stingers would not be a threat!

Ian exhaled, he was not proficient in the skill of the Wind Barrier, it was completely played with the help of card skills, and he was not sure whether the wind wall raised could block these stingers, but now it looked good, although the wind wall was not strong, but it also buffered the speed of the stingers and reduced their threat.

If Ian's sword skills were a little stronger and could fully fit the expert-level swordsmanship, perhaps the strength of the raised wind wall would become even higher, and it would be possible to directly bounce off these stingers.

Finding that the stinger launched on his side was blocked, the pirate ship still did not give up, and launched another wave.

After so much narration, in fact, it was only more than twenty seconds, and at this time, both sides were already close to the top of the mountain, and they might collide after a while, Ian could understand the other party's feelings, and if he couldn't destroy the opponent's ship, then everyone would have to die.

What to do? Ian's mind was spinning, and soon he made up his mind and shouted to the people behind him, "Get down!" ”

The sailors were busy lying on the deck, this time facing the flying stingers, and Ian did not stop them with the Wind Barrier, but let them shoot at them.

Seeing these needles flying, Ian flipped his wrist and pulled out the Enma Knife, combining his eyesight to block the needles as much as possible with a quick shot.

And in the meantime, he also used two slashing steel flashes to slash the needle directly down on the deck.

With the two slashes of steel flashed, Ian only felt that a strange air flow appeared around his body, and his heart suddenly had a spectrum.

The ships of both sides finally reached the top of the mountain, and according to Ian's visual estimates, the pirate ship was a little further ahead than them, but it was not enough for the two sides to pass by, and Ian's ship was expected to crash into the back half of the other party's hull.

This judgment was not only estimated by Ian, but also by the people on both ships, so whether it was Ian, the people on their ships, or the people on the other pirate ship, they were all desperate at this time.

Many people closed their eyes and didn't dare to look, and those who dared to open their eyes were actually scared stupid.

The only one who didn't give up was probably Ian, who stared closely at the approaching ships, his left hand holding the scabbard and his right hand already resting on the hilt, ready to draw his sword at any moment!

Now is the time!!

Ian jerked out the Enma Blade, and with the help of his strength, he suddenly went up.

Then a strange scene appeared, a small tornado was formed with Ian's sword, and flew towards the pirate ship on the opposite side at a rapid speed, the simple tornado was invisible, but the splash in the channel was sucked in by the tornado, and there were traces all of a sudden.

The tornado flew away at a rapid pace, and landed just on the stern of the opposite pirate ship, although it dissipated after a collision, but this force instantly accelerated the opponent's ship!

With this thrust, the stern of the other party's ship flicked past Ian's bow......

Didn't hit the !??

The people on both ships all watched this scene in amazement, and after a while, they finally believed that it was not a dream, so they all cheered at once!

"Oh my God! It's a miracle! It's an absolute miracle! ”

"Alive, we're all alive!"

The sailors on the ship hugged each other and jumped up, with tears in the corners of their eyes, they thought they were going to die, but all of a sudden they all survived.

At the top of the mountain, the currents from the four oceans converged, causing the ships on both sides to jolt for a moment, and then they were washed down the course down the mountain, and in the process, the distance between the stern of the opposite pirate ship and the bow of Ian and their ships was always very close, so to speak, by tens of centimeters.

In such a position, the people on both ships could see each other clearly, and it was only at this time that Ian noticed that there was a strange person standing on the opposite pirate ship.

It was a very fat fellow, wearing a captain's hat, but no clothes on his upper body, a thick and messy beard, and a nose that looked so big!

The face is ugly, which is also very consistent with the other party's pirate identity, but what makes Ian feel strangest is the thing on the back of this fat man!

His back was like a hedgehog, and there were countless black needles, not only on his back, but also on his arms, except for the smooth position of his chest, which made him look as if he was wearing a hedgehog cape, which was really weird.

So Ian immediately thought that the other party might be a Devil Fruit ability, but what the specific Devil Fruit was, Ian didn't know.

It can't be an animal-based hedgehog fruit, right? He guessed.

Bill, the captain of the ship, was well-informed, and after getting up and looking at the pirate flag on the other party's ship, he suddenly said in surprise: "Pico Pirates!?" They are the famous Pico Pirates in the South China Seas! This is terrible! ”

"Pico Pirates?" Ian asked puzzled, "What do you say?" ”

"That's one of the more famous pirates in the South China Sea, I've heard other captains say it!" Bill said with a sad face: "The captain of this pirate group, called Pixar, is a famous ruthless man, and he is also a devil fruit ability, and he was offered a reward of 24 million Bailey in the South China Sea, but I didn't expect them to choose to enter the great voyage at this time, and they almost collided with us." ”

"Twenty-four million?" Ian's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is a guy who is higher than Aaron's bounty! So he asked, "Do you know what kind of fruit power he is?" ”

"Of course!" Bill said with a bitter face: "That guy is an animal, and he eats porcupine fruit!" ”

Ian turned his head to look at the battered deck and bulkhead, so these stingers that shot at the ship turned out to be porcupine stabs!?
