Chapter 98: The Applegas Islands
Chapter 98 The Applegas Islands
Through the interrogation of the captured pirates, Gangzi felt that Casey was really a big mouth, and ten pirates from different places gathered in the Applegas Islands, and two of them were large fleets with a three-masted battleship each. Gangzi was a little skeptical that Casey was meeting someone, "I know the location of Jack's treasure, I am all lining up in the back, don't run around, follow the tour guide." ”
If the Black Sail Pirate Fleet appeared in the Applegas Islands at this time, the strong strength would definitely force the ten pirates to unite to fight, the Black Sail Fleet was not enough to deal with such a large group of pirates, and Gangzi did not intend to suffer too much sacrifice here.
Of course, the Black Sail Pirates also have their own advantages, the two pirate ships were all caught, and the pirates in the Applegas Islands did not know that a hungry tiger had squatted next to them, which was an opportunity for the Black Sail Pirates.
"The Tarzan, the Altair, the Walrus, the Horse, and the Wandering were stationed on the outskirts of the Applegas Islands, and Liang Hong was in charge of the fleet command; The flying Henan's, Seahorses, Sea Monsters, and Seals followed me into the Applegas Islands; Miss Casey, you should know that you are very sensitive, and I want you to stay in the cabin all the time, and I will arrange a well-lit room for you. ”
According to Casey's description, the outer layer of the Applegas Islands is surrounded by reefs, and there is only one exit to enter, and the environment inside is so complex that it is likely to get lost if you venture into it without a chart to guide you. Now that the ten pirates were all anchored in an open bay at the entrance, she fled as soon as she saw so many pirates following her, and the pirates, who were not willing to leave the Applegas Islands, sent two dhows to capture her.
The two dhow ships belong to the Parrot Pirates, the leader of the Parrot Pirates is called Elmez, and the other is the One-Legged John Pirates, the leader of which is John, and both of them are big pirates with a three-masted battleship as their flagship. Moreover, they have three and four brigs respectively, and they are strong and evenly matched. No one dares to eat the other.
The other pirates were much weaker, and a brig, or two sloops, was a group of pirates. Now they are all attached to the Parrot Pirates or the One-Legged John Pirates, hoping to get a scrap of food after finding Jack's treasure.
In short, before the treasure is known, neither of the two pirate groups is willing to easily start a war, but only guards each other in the waters inside the exit, and sends small ships deep into the Applegas Islands to search for treasure.
After getting a general understanding of the pirate situation in the Apulgas Islands, Gangzi ordered the "Flying Henan" to start, followed by the Sea Monster and the Seal. Together, the fleet headed for the southern islands of Applegas.
Shortly after the fleet sailed south, it saw the Seahorse, which was being pursued by a brig, but the Seahorse did not use its captaincy skills to get rid of the opponent. The Seahorse, whose speed had been increased, had been able to control its speed very well, and the distance he kept them from firing and gave them hope to give up the pursuit.
Until the huge figure of the "Flying Henan People" appeared on the sea, Lu Ze immediately turned on the captain's skill: "Flying Fire Meteor", and the sudden burst of speed caused the Seahorse to break through the water like a sharp arrow and draw an arc, reaching the back of the pirate ship that was stunned and hurriedly preparing to turn around.
The rows of swarthy guns of the "Flying Henan People" pressed the formation, and it was another peaceful seizure of ships. The brig is controlled by the Black Sail Pirates. And the captain of the pirate ship was subdued in front of Gangzi.
"I'm Prie of the one-legged John Pirates, captain of the Littlefinger brig, and our fleet is nearby, and I've informed the fleet of the unpleasantness that has just happened. If you don't want a fight, please let me and my ship go. ”
Gangzi waved his hand to the Black Sail Pirate who had been escorted to retreat, and he said to Pooly, "I have no intention of making an enemy of John One-Legged, but the cause of this is that your warship is in a hostile pursuit of my sentry ship. If you will lead us into the Apulgas Islands, I can forget the unpleasantness just now. ”
"Nope! Our regimental commander ordered that no ship should approach the Applegas Islands. Please let me go and leave, and I will relay your kindness to our regimental commander. ”
Gangzi sneered: "In this case, I am more interested in the things in the Applegas Islands, now I will give you two choices, I will kill you and drive your warship into the Applegas Islands, second, you ask your warship to lead the way in front and take us into the Applegas Islands, after meeting the one-legged John, I will decide to let you go according to my mood, or continue to lock you up." ”
As a brig captain of the One-Legged John Pirates, Pooly has access to some secrets, such as the fact that the entire one-legged John Pirate fleet has come to the Applegas Islands for the purpose of Jack's treasure. Obviously, this big man with such a powerful fleet also came to rush to the treasure in the Applegas Islands. Since it can't be stopped, it's still important to save your own life, so let's leave this kind of trouble to the head of the regiment to deal with.
In the face of Gangzi's obscenity, Puli chose to give in, and he stood at the bow of the "Flying Henan" to direct his battleship forward. After a short voyage, the Applegas Islands were revealed.
A continuous group of islands, next to each other, with protruding reefs everywhere on its perimeter, blocking the entry of ships from outside. At the end of the Purley-guided voyage, two towering cliffs sandwich a route into the interior of the archipelago.
At this exit, the pirates arranged for several warships to stand guard here, driving out any ships that wished to come close. The Seahorse was discovered by pirates while exploring the area, and sent Pooly's warship in pursuit.
Now Pooly's battleships have attracted a powerful fleet.
The pirate ship at the entrance had received the news that a fleet was coming, and neither John One-Legged nor the Parrot Pirates wanted to provoke a powerful enemy at this time, so they both tacitly joined a competitor and informed the ships at the entrance not to show hostility. Put the Black Sails Pirate Fleet in.
The Seahorse and the warship escorted to Puli entered the Applegas Islands first, and after confirming their safety, the Sea Monster and the Dolphin sandwiched the "Flying Henan People" in the middle and entered the canyon together.
After sailing for a while, at the end of the canyon, a wide sea area appeared in front of Gangzi.
On the sea, two fleets are anchored on both sides, one is the fleet led by the Parrot Pirates, and the other is the fleet led by the One-Legged John Pirates. In the face of the sudden outsider of the Black Sail Pirates, these two extremely unfriendly fleets aimed their guns at each other, and divided part of them at the Black Sail Pirates.
Sensing the threat, the Blacksail Pirate fleet immediately crossed the hull and pushed the prepared guns out of the gun doors to be alert for an attack that could come at any moment.
The three fleets were facing each other in the sea behind the canyon, and each of the three sides had a three-masted battleship that was evenly matched, and if they fought at this time, they would definitely be finished together. Everyone on the ship was sweating down, and the guns and sailors all pulled out the fuses of the guns, for fear that a careless misfire would cause a catastrophe.
On the "Flying Henan People", Gangzi was also very nervous, in addition to a three-masted battleship, the two pirates were surrounded by six or seven two-masted battleships, and there were more sloops.
This confrontation must stop, otherwise under the pressure of this tension, someone will definitely have a nervous breakdown and make radical moves. So Gangzi ordered the "Flying Henan People" to put down the two small boats and sail to the two pirates under the white flag.
"We are the Black Sails Pirates, and we are here to the Applegas Islands for Jack's treasure, and we don't want to lose our lives here, since we have no intention of using force before obtaining the treasure, why don't we sit down and talk about the distribution of the treasure? We consider the treasure of Jack Sparrow, one of the nine pirate kings, to be an unimaginable wealth for us even if it is divided into three parts, and our captain is the pirates of the western pacific. Harbor saboteur 'Gangzi, he will wait in a small boat in the sea area in the center of the tripartite fleet to meet with the two captains in an hour, and I also hope that the two captains can see the current situation clearly, once the fight starts, no one will leave with the treasure, whether to bury here with the intention of monopoly, or to get a part of the treasure and squander it to the fullest, we hope that the two captains can decide as soon as possible. ”
An hour later, Gangzi sailed in a dinghy to the center of the sea. The Parrot Pirates and the One-Legged John Pirates quickly made their choice in the current situation, and the two pirate leaders gathered in the middle of the sea in small boats.
Facing the arrival of the two pirate leaders, Gangzi smiled heartily: "I'm very glad that the two captains have made the right choice, this is a very good start for us to get Jack's treasure together, let's not ask our subordinates to put away their guns first, in order to show their sincerity, I think everyone is tired after holding on for so long." ”
Gangzi rushed and waved his hand in the direction of the Black Sail Pirate, and the four Black Sail battleships retracted their muzzles, and the gun doors closed.
Elmez and John One-Legged of the Parrot Pirates also waved their ships to put the guns back, and the tension suddenly eased a lot.
At this time, the one-legged John took the lead in speaking: "Captain Gangzi, you have captured my Little Finger and Captain Pulley, in order to show your kindness, will you also return them to me?" ”
Gangzi said cheerfully: "Of course, I don't want to be hated by Captain John on the way to the treasure hunt, I will never use force in the battle whose purpose is to resolve it peacefully, and when our negotiations are over, I will immediately arrange for Captain Purley to return to Captain John's arms." ”
Elmez on the side was already impatient, and he said anxiously: "I don't know where the treasure is, it's too early to talk about the treasure, Captain Gangzi, did you see two dhow battleships chasing an armed merchant ship when you came from outside, the Kraken Walker was on the armed merchant ship, and when we were about to arrest her, she found out and fled." Only she knows the location of Jack's treasure, and if she can't catch Kraken Walker, we won't find the treasure. (To be continued......)
