Chapter Seventy-One: The Legendary Ability of the Three Great Warships
Dark night.
The storm and the rough waves of the sea crashed wildly against the reef, as if they were about to turn everything on the sea upside down in the next moment. The surging waves rose several meters high, and again and again they continued to impact the five-masted ship sailing alone on the sea, as if they would not give up until it was overturned.
However, every time the wave hits, the row of beams on the side of the hull will glow slightly, and the next moment the wave seems to have been cut in the middle by something, and the menacing momentum is interrupted and then weakly hits the hull, so that although the bump is very strong, it does not seem to be in danger of capsizing.
This is the special ability of the "Stinger", and it is precisely by relying on this ability that the "Stinger" dares to continue sailing in this weather, if it were an ordinary ship, it would have fallen apart in this wave, and the final outcome would only be the destruction of the ship. Of course, this doesn't mean that the people on board can do nothing and wait for the storm to subside like no one.
"Collect the sails! Collect the sails! Tie the canvas tight! β
"Don't stand on the side of the boat! Do you want to jump in and take a shower! β
"Open the floodgates! Drain! β
Fang Yan's command voice kept coming out, and he was already a little hoarse. As a boatswain, it was his job to arrange things on the ship on such a rainy day, even if he had only been in office for a day and didn't even know much about these things, Fang Yan had to set an example and stand on the front line.
Bean-sized raindrops fell on Fang Yan's body like pouring water, his head and clothes were already soaked, and even his vision was a little blurred. But Fang Yan didn't care, he was still running around with a few old pirates who were in charge of lifting him up to command and help. Fortunately, the pirates on board had long been experienced in dealing with this kind of weather, and everything on the ship seemed to be unhurried and orderly, and all unfavorable factors were minimized, so that as long as the storm passed, it would not have any effect on the ship.
When everything was ready, Fang Yan couldn't help but wipe the rain on his head and breathe a sigh of relief. The boatswain has many responsibilities, seriously speaking, he has to be responsible for steering, cables, maintenance of the hull, fire fighting, plugging leaks, maintenance of loading and unloading equipment, etc., basically he has to do everything, of course, in a sense, he can also do nothing, because these jobs are responsible for a special person, and he generally only needs to be in the center to manage personnel. However, if something happens in such weather, the boatswain is the most responsible, and Fang Yan can't afford not to care.
Fortunately, everything is quite successful.
"Little Brother Fang Yan!" A voice came suddenly. Hearing this familiar voice, Fang Yan couldn't help but smile, and turned his head to respond, "Uncle Holly, what's wrong?" β
Hawley braved the pouring rain as he walked over, his clothes wetting and outlining the muscles of his arms. Walking in front of Fang Yan, Holly praised: "I don't worry about coming over to take a look, I didn't expect you to behave quite well, you really look like a boatswain." β
"Uh...... Hehe. Fang Yan had no choice but to smile, but he secretly slandered himself in his heart, Holly's praise really didn't sound like a boast...... However, looking at the expressions of the few people around them, it was obvious that they had long been accustomed to Holly's tone.
"Now that you're almost ready, just leave some people to watch, and let the rest of them go back to their rooms, you can go back too, stay here and wait."
"Okay." Fang Yan answered, and as Hawley had ordered, several old pirates ran to convey the order, leaving only Fang Yan and Hawley still standing here. Fang Yan was waiting, waiting for the people who should have left him before leaving, if he left early, it would inevitably be true, thinking that he didn't care about waiting a little longer if he got wet for so long anyway.
Idle, thinking back to today's scene, Fang Yan asked towards Holly: "Uncle, I see that those waves before seem to have been cut by something, I heard the old fur dog Charlie (one of the old pirates just now) say that it is the special ability of our ship?" β
Hawley said: "Yes, many famous ships on this sea have special abilities, we call them legendary abilities. Our ship is called the 'Stabbing Sword' not only because Xia Mang's weapon is a stabbing sword, but also to describe this legendary ability called 'Riding the Wind and Waves'. With this ability, we are not afraid of even the heavy rainstorm, unless we encounter a typhoon that is seen once in decades, the ship will be safe and stable. β
Speaking of the ship's ability, Hawley couldn't help but be a little complacent: "It's not my old Hawley bragging, although the legendary ability of the Stinger is a little worse than the Moby Dick I stayed in before, but it can be ranked in the top ten in the entire Sea of Watch!" β
Fang Yan became interested and asked, "Can it be called the three legendary warships, those three ships have their own legendary abilities, right?" Is it in the top three? β
"Of course, it can be called the three legendary warships, not just because of the legendary experience of the ship's owner and his status at sea, otherwise why did he leave out the Dark Lord among the three pirate kings? Each of these three ships has extraordinary legendary abilities! Or even more than one! β
"Oh?" Fang Yan's eyes moved, and he hurriedly asked Holly.
Holly grinned, and said directly without selling it: "Let's talk about the bounty hunter's call girl first, I don't know how many legendary abilities that ship has, I only know that its biggest feature is that it is fast!" Very fast! β
Fang Yan was puzzled: "Quick? Just by virtue of the speed, can it be called a legendary battleship? β
"The Call Girl is not fast in the ordinary sense, it is recognized as the first clipper ship at sea! Mind you, it's the sea, not the sea of watch! Its degree is several times that of ordinary ships, and even the other two of the three legendary warships have more than twice the degree difference with it! There is a rumor at sea that no one can escape Miss Doom, and no one can catch Miss Doom! β
Fang Yan was stunned, looking at Holly, who was highly regarded by the Calling Girl, and was embarrassed to say that he had been on that ship...... Although Fang Yan had been there for a few days, he had always been nested in the room at the bottom of the cabin, and he had really not seen how fast the Call Girl was, and now he really felt a pity when he heard Holly say it.
Of course, Hawley didn't notice Fang Yan's expression, even if he saw his temperament, he wouldn't think about it, and said with some pity: "But I've heard a rumor that once it enters the state of firefight, the degree of the Call Girl will drop a lot, although it is still much faster than ordinary ships, but it is not an overwhelming degree advantage, which is a pity." But it's just a rumor, and I'm not sure if it's true. β
After Hawley finished speaking, he took a breath and continued: "I know a little more about the Abyss of the Ocean Calamity. The Abyss's most legendary ability is the cannon that hangs from it, claiming to hit any corner of the Sea of Watchβof course, I think Planck is bragging. However, the range of the cannon is really long, and sometimes you can't see the ship around from the telescope, but you are inexplicably bombarded by a burst of shelling, but in fact the Abyss is far away. Killing the enemy thousands of miles away, with this alone, the Abyss is eligible to be included in the three legendary warships! β
"Can hit a cannon anywhere in the Sea of Watch?" To be honest, Fang Yan really couldn't think of what this legendary ability was all about. Although he hadn't fired the cannon himself, Fang Yan still knew that the shells would always fall down after a while after they were fired, so how could they hit a long range? It can't be a bunch of shells falling from the sky, right?
Before Fang Yan could think clearly, Holly spoke again: "The Abyss also has a legendary ability...... Actually, I still don't know if this is the legendary ability of the ship or the tricks of Planck's own people - in addition to the long-range cannon, there are also short-range guns on board...... The shells are smeared with poison! β
"Huh?"
Holly's face was full of hatred, it seemed that he had suffered losses on this kind of cannonball before: "The cannonball is smeared with strong poison, if it hits a person's body directly, even a hero-level powerhouse will be seriously injured, and it is not certain whether he can survive it." However, the probability of directly hitting people is very small, and what is even more odious is that hitting the ship can directly corrode the ship into a big hole, and the longer the cannonball stays on the ship, the more corroded places it will be! And ordinary pirates are dead if they touch it, and they can only let the strong ones throw them away one by one, which is really disgusting! Planck is a! β
Fang Yan was also a little speechless when he heard it, the cannon cannon was fine, it was not upright and upright, but it also had the spirit of a pirate king, but the poison cannonball ...... Throw adjectives such as yin damage, yin poison, inferiority, obscenity, sores on the top of the head and pus on the soles of the feet, and I believe that no one will have any objection to this, including the crew of the Abyss.
Fang Yan sighed, skipped the matter of the Abyss, and asked Holly, "What about the Moby Dick?" Uncle, you used to be there before, you must know it very well, right? β
Holly laughed, touched his head and said, "Of course! Moby Dick ...... It's my home......"
What Hawley said was very common, but only he understood what kind of deep feelings were contained in this "home", and this kind of feeling was something that Fang Yan couldn't experience now, no matter what. With a look of nostalgia flashing in his eyes, Hawley said: "There are two main legendary abilities of the Moby Dick, the first is the 'Children of the Sea'. As long as it sails above the sea, the Moby Dick will never encounter a storm, a whirlpool, or anything like that. Because it is a child of the sea! β
Regarding the Moby Dick, which he regarded as his "home", Holly praised it as unparalleled in the world with great praise, but because of this, Fang Yan was a little confused. After thinking about it carefully, Fang Yan only had a general guess, that is, the Moby Dick had a particularly high affinity with the ocean, and the place it sailed to would definitely not cause natural disasters.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Fang Yan could deeply feel how powerful this ability was. Yes, this ability can be said to be useless in battle, but in sailing, the strength of the 'Children of the Sea' is undeniable.
Of course, although this ability is powerful, it is not enough to make the Moby Dick one of the three legendary warships, and from Hawley's words, Fang Yan guessed that the Moby Dick has a more powerful legendary ability. Looking at Holly with an expectant face, Fang Yan waited for him to continue.
A look of pride flashed in his eyes, and Holly smiled hesitantly: "The second legendary ability of the Moby Dick is its real hole card, which is also the signature ability of the Moby Dick, and it is the strongest legendary ability at sea!" β
Fang Yan asked, "What ability?" β
(PS: I see!) (Slap the thigh) no wonder the code word feels bad recently, it turns out to be "hitting the wall"! Friends who watch the NBA should know that there is a rookie wall, and the rookie generally performed well at the beginning of the period after joining the NBA, but after a period of time, it will fall into a low ebb due to factors such as physical strength and playing style, which is the rookie wall. If you break through the rookie wall, you will gain a foothold in the NBA, but you can't break through ...... will be stuck in the wall like a space green arrow for many years, and it will not be able to go up and down, so it will be honorably returned to the CBA...... Well, let's get down to business, this rookie wall is also common to the code word, new authors and even many old authors generally wear off the initial momentum and excitement when the book is 2o million to 4o million words, plus external factors such as signing, listing, and recommending, and some internal factors, and then fall into a period of confusion, so the eunuch books at this stage are also the most. Of course, we must not be eunuchs, there is a quasi-finished work to guarantee our festival, you can rest assured, but the recent ups and downs of the state still hope that everyone will bear with us and support us through this difficult journey. Thank you! οΌ
