Chapter 42: Late

Time flies, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

It is now June in the year 1513 of the Haiyuan calendar, and the weather is extremely hot, and the sun is hot and blinding.

On a merchant ship, Nami leans against the sea, staring at the sea below, holding a stopwatch in her left hand and a notebook in her right hand with a pen in it.

Next to him, stood a tall figure, nearly two meters tall and with six tentacles, standing there, holding a knotted rope in his hand, constantly throwing the rope into the ocean.

Nami, on the other hand, calculates the length of the rope based on the knots of the rope, and then divides the length of the rope by the time to determine the speed.

"That's pretty much it."

Nami quickly opened the notebook, wrote and drew in the notebook, and calculated the speed and direction of the current.

"Is it done?" Hachi asked, standing aside and looking at Nami.

Nami nodded and said, "The currents and directions of this part of the sea have been calculated, but then I have to observe the weather changes, and I need to observe them regularly." ”

"Then you won't need me?" Hachi hurriedly asked.

Nami glanced at him and said, "Well, for the time being, I'll be alone." ”

Xiaoba said irritably: "I really don't know why Boss Aaron asked me to come out with you!" ”

Nami shrugged her shoulders and said, "Maybe it's because you're the most powerful and trusted fish-man under Boss Aaron." ”

"Hahaha, you're right."

Xiao Haha laughed, and then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's too hot, I'll go down and cool off, something will call me." ”

Leaving these words, Hachi jumped into the ocean, entered the sea, sucked the bottom of the boat with his wrists and feet, and followed the ship underwater.

After Hachi left, he could feel that the momentum on the merchant ship suddenly relaxed, and many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Many people discriminate against the fish-people and regard them as monsters, but for ordinary people, the fear of the fish-people is greater than the hostility.

At the same time, the year before last, Jinping became the Seven Martial Seas, and the world government began to promote racial equality, and in newspapers and broadcasts, the matter of fish people was often mentioned.

So they just stayed away from the fish-people, but they didn't stop each other from getting on the boat.

"What are you doing?"

After Hachi left, a figure approached Nami, looked at her and asked curiously.

"You are?"

Nami looked at the other and saw that it was a tall, muscular young man who was smiling at her.

"My name is Marcel, and I'm the deputy captain of this ship."

Marcel said with a smile, showing his white teeth.

"My name is Nami."

Nami nodded, pointed to the sea, and said, "I'm measuring the speed of the current." ”

"Are you a surveyor?"

Marcel's eyes were a little curious, he looked at Nami, and said, "It's really amazing, I've been running for two years, and I can only master the route of the fixed current." ”

Nami said nonchalantly, "It's not a big deal. ”

Marcel then looked down and said, "That one was a fishman, right?" ”

"Well, it's an octopus fishman." Nami replied, yes

Marcel smiled and said, "Is he your bodyguard?" ”

"Sort of."

Nami replied, jot down something quickly in her notebook with a pen.

Marcel said with a smile: "I saw that he was carrying six knives. Hahaha, it's the first time I've seen an octopus fish man. ”

"Really?"

Nami replied without raising her head, but the pen in her hand did not stop.

At this time, Marcel realized that the other party did not have time to take care of him, so he said: "I am the deputy captain of this ship, come to me if you need anything." ”

"Vice-Captain?"

When Nami heard this, she raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect that he was not very old, and he was already the deputy captain.

Marcel left a word, and walked to the bow of the boat, holding a huge dumbbell in each hand, and did the training.

Flat lift, push, forward lift, curl.

These two dumbbells, each of which is more than 100 pounds, he does the movements very easily, and it seems that the strength is not small, such strength is more powerful than some fishmen.

Of course, most of the fish-man soldiers are more powerful than him.

And Xiaoba, a fishman who holds six 300-kilogram long knives and can make incredible moves, Marcel is even worse.

Nami withdrew her gaze and continued to look into the distance, watching the weather change.

。。。

In the deep seabed, Xia Qiu is fighting with a group of sharks.

It bites the largest shark and kills it in one bite, then pulls its tail out and flies a shark out.

A shark bites its back, but Xia Qiu lunges forward, and its thick dorsal fin hits a shark, sending its concubine out.

There are two sharks aiming at Xia Qiu's side, but their teeth can't break through Xia Qiu's restraints.

In the abdomen of Xia Qiu, there are two sharks, each of which is tightly entangled by three tentacles, and the tentacles are tightened, so that the sharks cannot swim and cannot absorb the free oxygen in the water, so that they can slowly suffocate.

Soon, seven or eight sharks died, and the remaining sharks did not dare to continue attacking, so they turned around and ran.

In summer and autumn, sharks are slowly eaten.

Very useful.

Xia Qiu is very satisfied with his tentacles.

After half a year of predation, Xia Qiu's brachiopods have grown, a total of ten, arranged on both sides of the abdomen, forming two columns, a total of five pairs, ten brachiopods.

Among them, the first, second, third, and fifth are short wrists.

The fourth pair is the tentacle wrist.

There are two rows of suction cups on the short wrist, one with a diameter of about six centimeters and the short wrist with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters, extending from the base.

The length of the first short wrist is only five meters, the second three five is seven meters long, and the length of the tentacles reaches twelve meters.

His current length is about thirty-five meters, his height is about six meters, and his width is four meters.

The brachiopod is under the abdomen and can now protect the 20-metre-long area of the abdomen, while protecting all sides of the area where the brachiopod is located.

The protected area is sufficient.

At the same time, it is the ability to hunt, the strength of the wrists and feet is very strong, the suction and grasping force is very large, and the shark of seven or eight meters can be easily entangled.

In the subclass Sharks, octopuses kill a relatively large number of sharks, but most of them are small octopuses and small sharks.

Ambush the shark to entangle it.

But the larger the size of the two sides, the more difficult it is to hunt, one is because the squid is large and mostly in the deep sea, while sharks rarely go to the deep sea and cannot create ambush conditions.

And if it is not ambushed, the strength of the squid is simply not able to restrain the larger shark, the shark has the ability to sense vibration, and is generally the first to attack, and it is often the squid that dies.

This is because of the difference in strength between the two, the king squid between ten and thirteen meters, but only about three hundred kilograms.

And the twenty-meter king squid weighs only one ton.

But sharks, seven or eight meters long, weigh more than four tons.

Large squid can't fight back effectively against large sharks, and will be carried away by sharks.

Xia Qiu is different, his weight is extremely large, as long as the suction and grasp of his wrists and feet is enough, the target cannot escape his restraints.

Therefore, this brachiopod is more effective on Xia Qiu than on the octopus.

With wrists and feet, Xia Qiu is sure to single-handedly pick out a cadre.

After eating the shark in summer and autumn, the brachiopods are put away, and part of the tentacles can be put into the sac at the base, while the brachiopods are curled up.

In this way, on the front of summer and autumn, it is difficult to see traces of brachiopods.

Xia Qiu swung her body and swam in the direction she had come from, and came to the western side of the island, which was not far from Aaron Park to the south.

But at this time, Xia Qiu suddenly sensed a huge tremor coming from the sea.

He opened his mouth to release ultrasound, and the message showed a huge ship heading this way.

Xia Qiu hurriedly floated up and looked at the ship.

The patterns painted on the white sails make Xia Qiu's eyes shrink.

Naval warships.

The Navy is coming.

The Dragon Pirates have been here for more than half a year, and this is the first time the Navy has arrived.

Are you here to attack Aaron, or are you here to cooperate?

Either way, you need to take your own actions.

Summer and autumn swam in the direction of the naval battleship.
