Chapter 139: Attack
Next, Xia Qiu waited quietly here, the time when the ghost spider lieutenant general left the branch is uncertain, sometimes he may not leave the branch once in seven or eight days, or after leaving, it will take a long time to return.
But there were also times when he left more frequently, sometimes going to the Navy Headquarters, and sometimes going to Justice Island to escort felons.
As for patrolling, most of the time, it is carried out by the rear admiral, and most of the time, top warships are not used.
The responsibility of the G4 branch is to be responsible for the part of the three surrounding shipping routes close to the Chambord Islands.
In various countries, near various regions, there will also be colonels, brigadier generals, major generals who are responsible for each sea area.
For example, Colonel Tina, who was in charge of the waters around Alabastan, was promoted to major general two years later, and is still in charge of these seas.
However, lieutenant generals are different, they do not directly govern one country area, but several air routes.
Xia Qiu didn't know how long she would have to wait, but fortunately, three days later, Bora received a phone call.
"Here's the information, the Evergreen City was attacked by the Fanged Pirates, killing hundreds of people, and also crushing a naval warship and killing a colonel, which is a major event. Lieutenant General Oni Spider personally set off to clear the Fanged Pirates, located in the northeast. β
Bora said slowly, and Xia Qiu asked with some curiosity, "Is there any information about the Fanged Pirates?" β
"Yes, the Fanged Pirates, the head of the group has a bounty of 180 million, and the total bounty has reached 420 million, let's be careful."
"I see."
Xia Qiu replied, dived into the ocean, and swam in the direction of the G4 branch.
The bounty of the captain of the pirate ship has reached 180 million, which is already good, and the eleven supernovas in the future can be ranked seventh, which is not far from 200 million.
In the future, Drake, with a bounty of 200 million, ranked sixth, and was a rear admiral before becoming a navy, of course, if it was a rear admiral of the four seas, then the strength would be weaker.
But no matter what, Supernova will definitely not lose in the face of the Major General, with a bounty of 180 million and a total bounty of 420 million, it is already difficult for the Major General to defeat such a pirate group.
But for the lieutenant general, such strength is not enough to fear.
This is a good opportunity.
Therefore, Xia Qiu chose to follow.
He dived first into the ocean and swam towards the G5 branch, where the vice admiral's battleship had just been activated and was hoisting its sails and sailing into the distance.
Xia Qiu followed behind, approaching the battleship, only to realize how big the battleship was.
It's not 80 meters as I guessed before, but more than 100 meters, and about 35 to 40 meters wide.
The battleship had a total of four masts, of which the first mast had the navy pattern and font on the sail, and the banner on the top of the second mast read G5.
The battleship had two rows of twelve guns on each side, and one three-barreled gun on each front, on the left and right.
The number of artillery pieces alone amounted to thirty-three.
In addition to this, there are two outer wheels, which allow for fast sailing even in windless areas.
This is a top-of-the-line battleship, a battleship is standard with a vice admiral, and in case of emergency operations, a rear admiral can also be used.
Xia Qiu estimated that if he wanted to destroy the buoyancy balance, he would have to open six to eight holes, and some of the holes would have to be connected, so that a large part of the area would lose buoyancy, and the weight of the hull itself would be used.
It could not be distributed on all sides, as was the case with other warships, so that the ship's compartments could not provide buoyancy.
As for the keel, Xia Qiu was not sure that it would be broken, and the keel that could carry such a huge warship was very thick and hard, and it was difficult for him to break it.
And in addition to this battleship, seven or eight more battleships sailed out of the port one after another, accompanying them, and there was only one top-level battleship, but there were many large and medium warships.
In the Navy, there are four types of warships.
A top-tier battleship, standard for vice admirals, has a length of more than 100 meters and can carry up to a thousand people.
For example, in the Justice Island chapter, a top-level warship has 1,200 people.
Large warships are those used by brigadier generals, headquarters colonels, or some rear admirals.
Medium-sized warships are the warships used by the head of the base of the Four Seas Division, or the ordinary warships of the Tina Black Threshold Fleet.
The second is a small warship, not much larger than the Merry, with two masts and a few guns, which are occasionally used by the navy.
And now, there are almost three large warships, five medium warships, and counting the top warships, there are nine of them.
Too much.
Is a pirate group with a total bounty of more than 400 million worth paying so much attention?
However, the Fanged Pirates seem to have killed more than a hundred people in the Evergreen City, and Xia Qiu remembered what Bora had said, and they also killed a colonel and destroyed a naval warship, which was defined as a major event.
The Evergreen City is a member of the National, World Government and is eligible to participate in the quadrennial World Government Conference.
Doing something like this, defined as a major event, is no longer a trivial matter.
But for Xia Qiu, this is a very bad thing.
There are so many battleships, Xia Qiu himself can't attack them at all, ramming and sinking a battleship, the other party can change the battleship at any time.
This time give up.
So Xia Qiu did not choose to follow, but gave up this opportunity and returned to the desert island.
"President, why are you back?"
When Bora saw Xia Qiu coming back, she asked with some curiosity, "Didn't the lieutenant general sail?" β
"Of course it sailed."
Xia Qiu glanced at her and said unhappily: "But there are as many as nine warships following me, and I can't attack them at all." β
"Nine?"
Bora frowned, and then hurriedly said: "President, the information I received did not say that several warships were ...... departure."
"It seems that the man didn't have time to tell us, or didn't get the full information."
Xia Qiu said softly: "Then wait a little longer." β
Xia Qiu believed that Bora would not hide it, after all, there were a few warships traveling, which was really obvious to him, and he would not attack stupidly by ambushing in this way.
If he were Bora, if he really planned to do something, he would inform the navy and let the strong man ambush him on a ship.
However, he told her about Weiwei, and she couldn't do anything at this time.
This time it can't be attacked, Xia Qiu can only continue to wait.
In the next few days, Xia Qiu wandered in the waters near the base of the G4 branch, recording the situation in the surrounding seas.
Almost three days later, the traveling naval warship returned to its route and returned to the G5 branch.
On the same day, Pola's phone bee rang, "The Fanged Pirates have been successfully captured, and in two days, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider will personally escort them to Justice Island." β
"Justice Island?"
The location of the Isle of Justice is to the south, on the right side of the Great Shipping Route, outside the Seventh Route.
and Impel Prison and Marin Vando form a triangle with eerie currents that can help naval warships get there.
The seventh route also did not pass through these three points, and on the left side of the Γle de la Justice, it turned in the direction of the Chambord Islands.
This is a good opportunity.
Justice Island is far away from here, and there are many opportunities to attack on the way, and not only that, this time the ghost spider personally escorted the prisoners, if he found an opportunity to attack, could he eat the prisoners too?
The strength of 180 million is enough to provide a large amount of strengthening energy.
Xia Qiu thought about it, and came to the vicinity of the G4 branch, the ghost spider had just set sail, and the huge battleship was heading south.
There was only one battleship.
Very good.
Xia Qiu put her mind at ease and slowly followed.
Although this battleship is huge, it is not slow, with four masts, huge sails bulging, and even without the use of outer ships, the speed is extremely impressive.
But for Xia Qiu, the speed is a little insufficient, about half of his cruising speed.
Xia Qiu's current form is completely different from the previous form when he was a fish, the number of his fins has been greatly reduced, and the pectoral fins, pelvic fins, and anal fins have become legs, and even the tail fin has disappeared.
The pectoral fins, pelvic fins, and anal fins are mainly used to maintain balance, but in summer and autumn, the body becomes thicker, and then it has six legs, and it can be used to balance the body.
The second is the tail fin, which can provide power, but not as much as the leg power in summer and autumn.
In general, the speed in the water in summer and autumn, the sprint speed is greatly accelerated, and the cruising speed is not much different from the original.
Xia Qiu followed the battleship, capturing the magnetic force of the surrounding islands, judging the location, and swimming farther and farther.
The direction of the battleship was to the south, but then it turned around and headed southwest.
Xia and Autumn rested with fragmented sleep and tried their best to keep themselves in the best condition.
He also uses magnetism to capture the surrounding islands, hoping to find a piece of the ocean where there are only two magnets.
These two magnetic forces should be the magnetic forces at the front and back points around the route, and there are no other islands, or there may be islands nearby, but there are no magnetic forces.
In the Great Route, there is no magnetic force, it will not be captured by the recording pointer, few people will know about it, and no one will take the initiative to go.
Even if it's nearby, as long as it's not in a place that can be observed, it is estimated that the ghost spider will not flee in that direction.
Xia Qiu must make sure that after sinking the ship, there are no islands around for the other side to leave.
In this way, time passed little by little, the sun set, and the golden light spread over the sea, but little by little, it receded, and finally the sky became dark and the moon rose.
"It's time to go and rest."
In the cabin, Vice Admiral Ghost Spider stood up and did not immediately go back to the room, but first went to the middle of the cabin, where there was a cage with several criminals with shackles from the sea tower.
"Lieutenant General."
There were four sailors standing in the two rows and opposite the cell, and not only that, but in the aisle, there were seven or eight sailors.
"Lieutenant General."
In the room not far away, three officers in officer uniforms immediately came out and walked up to the ghost spider.
"You are on duty today, you must take good care of them."
The ghost spider said coldly, "These criminals are very important, it is said that the Akainu Shogun was furious when he saw them kill so many people, so he must not lose." β
"I'll keep an eye on them, and nothing will go wrong."
The subordinate hurriedly said.
"If something happens, then you are the only one who asks."
The ghost spider left this sentence, glanced at the criminal, turned away, returned to the room, had water brought to him, and after washing up, went to bed.
He set the boat aside and lay down on the bed, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
But just as he was about to fall asleep, the hull trembled a little, and the magnitude was not too great.
"Huh?"
The ghost spider frowned, rolled over, and went back to sleep.
You may have encountered a current, or a sea king passed by and accidentally touched it.
Such situations are common, and there is no need to worry about them at all.
There are sea towers on the bottom of this ship, and the sea kings will treat them as sea water, and the sea kings will not take the initiative to attack.
And the hull is so hard that at least in the great voyage, it is impossible for the ship to sink as long as it is not attacked by others.
But the ghost spider rolled over, yawned, and was about to go back to sleep, when the hull of the ship shook again.
This time the jitter is a bit larger.
"What's going on?"
The ghost spider frowned, his intuition felt a little bad, the vibration was louder than just now, and the feeling of feedback from the hull was an instantaneous swing.
It's not the current, but it's hit by something in the sea, and with such a large amplitude, there are only sea kings.
"Woo woo woo."
The next moment, a loud sound sounded in the cabin.
"This signal, the ship is leaking after an attack?"
The ghost spider immediately stood up and put on his clothes.
Pedal pedal pedal slam, bang.
Heavy footsteps were heard outside, the door was pushed open, and then a voice rang out, "Lord Admiral, the boat, the ship is leaking." β
"Come with me."
The ghost spider got dressed, took two knives, went out of the house, waved at the soldiers on guard, and they immediately went to the house, and each of them took two knives and followed.
The ghost spider walked while looking at the person who came to report and asked, "What is the specific situation?" β
This is a naval lieutenant, and he said quickly: "A large hole has been knocked out of the starboard side of the second to eighth compartments under the sea. β
"Six compartments?"
The ghost spider was a little surprised, the second to eighth compartments were close to the bow of the ship, and they were all destroyed.
"Come with me."
The ghost spider then asked, "What hit the ship?" β
The major replied, "Not yet." β
"I see."
The ghost spider nodded, and stepped up the stairs to the top, where many sailors had gathered on the deck, and they had lit torches and fire baskets, and when they fell, they lit up the sea
When one of the naval officers saw the ghost spider, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Vice Admiral, the emergency plan has been activated, and the people below are replenishing the ship." The oil is ready, ready to be poured. β
"Don't be in a hurry, let's see if we still attack, all on alert."
The ghost spider shouted loudly, and the sailors immediately stood on alert, while the ghost spider stood there with two knives in his hand, and did not speak, but closed his eyes.
Suddenly, the ghost spider disappeared in place with a little foot, and instantly came to the left side of the ship, drew its two knives, and slashed downward.
Whoosh.
Two huge slashes swung downward in an instant.
Wow.
The sea parted, and the chopping wave continued downward, striking a figure.
The next moment, the figure collided with the ship.
Rumble.
A large hole was knocked out of the bottom of the battleship, and the ghost spider snorted coldly, raised his long knife, and suddenly swung it rapidly.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
One after another, the chopping waves shot into the sea and hit the water.
Damn it.
Xia Qiu did not dare to go around in circles, but continued to sink and dived into the ocean.
When he dodged the chopping wave and swam into the distance deep in the sea, he felt a great pain in his back.
It's powerful.
The scales of his head have been cut open, and the first dorsal fin has been cut off, and the bone plate on his back and the tail are scarred.
This is the strength of the lieutenant general, the power of chopping waves, much greater than the Colonel Penn he encountered.
Penn couldn't cut off his dorsal fin.
But the ghost spider is different, the position of its dorsal fin exposed on the water surface was directly cut by his chopping wave, the bone plate was shattered, and the fish scales on the underwater head were also cut.
However, the dorsal fin was not severed once, and it took four or five hits in different positions above and below the entire dorsal fin to completely break.
The base of the dorsal fin was slashed twice before slowly breaking, but there was still a section underwater.
After the slash broke through the scales of the fish underwater, it did not hurt the bones, but was dissolved by the muscles.
Although his strength is strong, he is also getting stronger.
After eating T Penn and the brigadier general, his body strengthened again.
Not only that, but during this period, there was a year and three months, and he kept eating pirates, and he ate at least three brigadier generals' enhanced energy.
His dorsal fin and scales have become extremely tough, and if Heclay hits him directly, he may not be able to cause damage.
The chopping wave of the ghost spider, weakened by the sea water, can only cut its own scales and part of its muscles.
In addition, although the ghost spider is a swordsman, its slashing power is not particularly strong.
He is a lieutenant general, a spider fruit ability, and uses the Eight Swords Stream to fight.
Secondly, he also has two kinds of domineering: armed domineering and seeing and hearing domineering.
It has an armed color domineering, which can slash the natural body, and can also cut hard objects.
He doesn't need to pursue pure strength and the strength of the chopping wave, and with the Eight Swords Flow, he is invincible.
And it will be six styles, and the speed is even more extraordinary.
Therefore, his slashing wave and slashing strength should not be particularly outstanding among the lieutenant generals who use swordsmen.
Otherwise, the fruit, adding eight knife flows, adding two-color domineering, and adding six styles, it will be a bit too strong.
It's bearable, but you need to dodge.
Xia Qiu thought about it, changed directions, dived into the water, rushed again, and after getting closer, he slowly rushed upwards diagonally.
But before it hit the pirate ship, suddenly the chopping wave struck again.
"Damn."
Xia Qiu was hit by seven or eight slashes again, and his back injuries became more and more serious, but he also crashed into the pirate ship, and with a bang, it was another big hole.
Four large holes.
Distributed on both sides of the hull, but not enough, the ship was too big.
At least two more hits.
But if this continues, I am afraid that I will be killed by the other party first, and I must think of a way.
And on the battleship, the ghost spider suddenly shouted, "The sword is coming." β
With the sound, his body slowly changed, his buttocks became bigger and bulging, and his hair became longer, turning into six hands, holding the six long knives handed by the sailors behind him.
A total of eight knives.
The ghost spider held the knife, closed his eyes, and waited for the arrival of summer and autumn.
One more time, and kill it completely.
But summer and autumn are not coming.
