Chapter 80: The Battle on the Fairway
Ian could see that Bill was struggling right now, he was the captain of the ship, but now the ship was in tatters and had to be repaired.
This is all for the porcupine needles thrown from the opposite side, in the classification of devil fruits, animal fruits are more distinctive, because animal fruits generally have a unique "wild power", can increase the strength and speed of the fruit ability and physique, this can be seen from these powerful needles, now the thinner planks on the ship have been completely pierced, a thicker such as the deck, the needle is also embedded in, if you pull it out, it must be a deep hole, This kind of power is stronger than some bows and crossbows.
His own ship was injured like this, how could Bill, as the captain, stand it.
And the most troublesome thing is the Pico Pirates in front, the caravan is actually most afraid of encountering pirates, and recruiting guards is precisely to prevent this, but now the fleet is unlucky, just entered the upside-down mountain, and directly encountered it.
"Ian, can you kill them?" Bill whispered to Ian, "Otherwise, when we get to the Twin Capes, the Pico Pirates will definitely fight our idea!" ”
The other party is a pirate, alas, and it is also a pirate who mainly loots, where will there be a saying that the caravan will let it go?
Don't look at the eleven ships left in the caravan now, and the other party only has one ship, the difference in numbers is very different, but Bill knows very well that if he really starts, the caravan will suffer, although he has recruited some pirate hunters and bounty hunters to act as escorts from Rogue Town, these guards also look big-shouldered and round-waisted, but in fact, most of them are just good-looking, if you want to say how much strength you have, not to mention, these guards just take money to work, and it is impossible to expect them to really fight with the pirates, and the momentum is not right, There is a good chance that these people will leave the caravan behind and flee for their lives.
This is also the reason why the caravan gives Ian such a good treatment, it is too difficult to find a powerful guard these days.
So now Bill can only rely on Ian and get the other party done first.
In fact, there is no need for Bill to say, Ian has long wanted to do this, the guy named Pixar before fired several waves of stingers at Ian's ship, and that attitude was very determined to destroy and sink Ian's ship, and Ian was on the ship at the time, once the ship was sunk, he would also suffer, which made him very annoyed.
Ian just used a whirlwind to push the other party's ships, just to avoid the two sides of the ship from colliding together, and now that the crisis is over, it's time to settle accounts with the other party.
However, before Ian and Bill could finish speaking, the Pico Pirates on the opposite side made the first move, only to see their captain Pixar, the porcupine fruit ability, suddenly lying on the deck, the long spines on his body trembled, erected one by one, and aimed at Ian and their ship.
Or rather, Ian!
"Jetting needles!"
The next second, only a soft bang was heard, and a long needle broke away from his back and flew towards Ian, the speed of this needle was much faster than the needle that had just been thrown, and Ian only had time to push Bill beside him, and then flashed to the side quickly.
In a flash of lightning, the stinger grazed his face and flew over, piercing the ship's mast behind Ian!
Ian's reaction speed has improved a lot now, but although he dodged the blow, he felt a hot pain on his face, and when he reached out, he found that he had a cut on his left cheek that was rubbed by a needle, and blood was slowly flowing out.
it! My handsome appearance! I can't even be a beautiful man if I want to be quiet!
He angrily turned his head to stare at Pixar on the opposite boat, thinking that the ugly man with fat head and big ears must be jealous of himself, so he squatted down slightly, put his hand on the hilt of the Enma Knife, and pulled out the knife suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Ian shot a flaming sword qi towards the ship opposite!
With hatred, Ian almost used up all his thoughts, all of which were spent on this sword qi, the power can be imagined, the sword qi that flew out diagonally, formed an arc of flames, and slashed towards Pixar at an extremely fast speed.
Pixar was taken aback, he didn't dare to make a hard connection at all, and his body suddenly shrank into a ball and rolled away, but this guy's fat body was a little big, and he couldn't completely dodge, and the sword qi flew past his body, cutting off a small piece of the spinal needle on his back, and then landed on the cabin of the pirate ship.
A clattering sound sounded, and the other party's relatively large cabin was cut open by Ian's sword qi, slid down the incision, and landed on the deck with a loud bang.
The pirates of the Pique Pirates almost puffed out their eyes when they saw this scene, and Ian slashed their cabin into the open air with a flying slash!
There are such ruthless people on the ships of this caravan!?
At this time, although the ships of the two sides were close, but because they had already passed the top of the mountain, they were rushing towards the Twin Capes, and this downhill road made the ships of both sides still tilt, and Ian had planned to cut their masts just now, but because of the angle, they only cut their cabins.
Even so, the sailors on the ship who saw this scene couldn't help but cheer for Ian, when they were attacked by the Pico Pirates just now, many people were injured because of this, plus they felt the malice of the Pico Pirates wanting to destroy their ships, so the sailors all hated the Pico Pirates, and now seeing Ian's successful blow, the sailors were also encouraged, and shouted one after another, asking everyone to move the cannons over and prepare to bombard the pirate ship opposite.
Merchant ships are also equipped with weapons, cannons are one of them, although there are not many of them, but they can be regarded as armed merchant ships, in this era of pirates, unarmed merchant ships dare to go to the sea, that is simply to deliver food.
However, the sailors were busy carrying the cannons, which also reminded the Pike Pirates that they had also hurriedly moved a cannon and aimed at Ian.
"Not good!" Ian was shocked when he saw this, and secretly scolded the sailors on his side for being stupid, he was still on the waterway, and it was too easy to have problems with the other party with cannons at such a close distance, so he flipped his wrist, took out two ice tear stones and crushed them, instantly added some thoughts, and slashed out another sword qi towards the pirates who carried the cannons in the Pike Pirates.
The reaction of these pirate minions was not as fast as their captain, they were setting the cannon on fire, and when they landed, they were cut down by Ian's sword qi, but there was still one left, and the guy was so frightened that he squatted down with the cannon, because of his action, the muzzle of the cannon rose slightly.
As soon as he looked at the angle of the gun, Ian knew that he would not be able to hit himself, but he would most likely hit the ship's mast.
Sure enough, the cannon rang out, booming twice, one came from Ian's ship, and the sailors also fired on the pirate ship, because Ian's ship was higher, so this cannon hit the opponent's deck, blasting a big hole in the deck of the pirates. And the cannonball fired from the pirate ship hit the middle of Ian's mast because of the elevation angle.
Although the pirate ship was seriously injured, Ian's mast on their side also collapsed from the position where it was hit, and smashed towards the deck, and when the mast fell, it also happened to fall towards Ian's position, in order to avoid the mast, Ian couldn't care about the pirates on the other side, holding Bill lying on the deck, a roll, dodging the mast that fell down.
Uncle Bill was just an ordinary person, and he couldn't react much to such a chaotic scene, and after being held away by Ian, he was very grateful to Ian, and at the same time very angry with the sailors.
"Idiot! A bunch of idiots! Bill yelled, "Who told you to use cannons!?" Are you reminding each other to use cannons too? ”
Now it's okay, the mast has collapsed, and the ship is going to be overhauled.
Not only that, because the mast was made of wood, it was hit by a cannonball, and when the mast collapsed, the sails attached to it were also lit, so the sailors hurried to find water and began to put out the fire.
The same is true of the pirate ship on the other side, the solid cannonball hits their deck, and when it explodes, it also causes their ship to catch fire, so both sides don't care about fighting, and all concentrate on extinguishing the fire on the ship.
After such a delay, the ship had already been washed out of the channel, and Ian only felt that the speed of the ship was slow, and when he looked up, he saw the lighthouse of the Twin Capes.
They have come down from Upside Down Mountain!
By this time, the scope of the great voyage was already within reach, and Captain Bill hurriedly commanded the sailors to raise the remaining stern jibs, and at the same time slammed the steering wheels to turn away to make way for the ships behind.
This response was quite timely, and as soon as Ian's ship gave way, the second ship of the caravan also rushed down the channel and came to the surface, then the third and fourth.
On every ship, there was a captain, and although not all of them were as experienced as Bill, they still knew what to do when they got out of the channel, so they all turned course one by one to make way for the ships behind them.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the caravan, Ian turned his head and looked towards the ship of the Pico Pirates, only to find that the guys had already spread their sails and wanted to escape.
A pirate group that wants to escape in the face of a caravan? It is estimated that many people don't believe this, but this is the case, maybe they also know that since there are people like Ian on the ship of this caravan, it is estimated that it is not easy to gnaw, so after weighing it, they still left.
"! Want to run!? When Ian saw this scene, he immediately stopped doing it, that chubby ugly man Pixar, but it was worth 24 million, and when Ian heard it, he wanted to arrest him.
So he patted Bill on the shoulder and said, "Quick, they're going to run, hurry up and catch up!" ”
"How to chase?" Bill smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said, "Our mast is broken, and the sails can't be opened!" ”
Ian slapped his thigh in annoyance, Nima, if he had known that the other party was going to escape, he shouldn't have let the mast get shot, just jump up and chop the cannonball, with such a sharp weapon as the Enma Knife in his hand, and enough thoughts to wrap it around, Ian can indeed cut the cannonball.
These pirates are too tasteless, originally I heard Bill say that Pixar guy is a more ruthless pirate, he thought that the Piquar pirates would officially loot the caravan after leaving the channel, where did he think they would escape?
Okay now, if the other party opens his sail and escapes, it's impossible for him to swim over and chase him, right?
