The Sky flew high, the propellers roared, and they caught up, but the distance from the Sea Emperor was getting bigger and bigger. The Sea Emperor's speed soared to sixteen quarters, and in this race, it was in the lead. If the Sky can catch up, it will be able to inflict heavy damage on the Sea Emperor with its bottom blade. If you fail to catch up, you will have to face the water elemental counterattack of the Sea Emperor. Therefore, victory or defeat is all about speed.

Donk deeply understands the importance of speed, but he can't change the current decline, he can only watch the distance between the two sides grow bigger and bigger. He deliberately didn't think much about it, as long as he continued to fight step by step, the result he got was the best.

Goldbeard will have a lot of fun winning, and then there will be a lot of rewards. The Sky can also avoid being burned by manta fish oil, and can continue to work for the Dragon Pirates in the future. Isn't it all good?

With the rudder in his hand, Donk stared blankly ahead, listening to the lookout's report and fine-tuning the rudder. Suddenly, the Sky shook slightly, and a violent roar came from the iron pipe leading to the hull. The speed of the propeller kept rising, and so did the speed of the whole ship.

It must have been Frankie who injected manta fish oil into the furnace and brought new explosive power to the Sky.

Donk had done something to manipulator oil, and as such, the forbidden drug would also cause considerable damage to the Sky.

The manta fish oil quickly took effect, as if it was a shot in the arm, and the speed of the Sky increased by three knots. However, this improvement is still not enough, and the Cangtian is about a section slower. It is this section that is enough to determine the outcome of the outcome.

If you can't catch up, you can only watch the water element grow bigger.

The undead pierced the plank, flew onto the deck, and asked anxiously, "How is the battle?" ”

"We've improved a lot of speed, but we're still a little bit worse than them. Listening to the report of the lookout, the water element is already the size of a human head, and the situation is not optimistic. Donk said with a calm face.

"How so!" Frankie floated to the port side and looked at the lights on the sea from afar, "I used manta oil, why am I still slower than them?" If we can't catch up now, we'll have to be beaten later! ”

Donk had long anticipated Frankie's reaction, saying, "When they're attacking with water, they're going to slow down a little bit so that they're easier to aim." If we really can't catch up, we'll have to go toe-to-toe with them at that time. ”

"Why?"

"What, why?"

Frankie flew up to Tonk and roared, "I've heard many people talk about the effects of manta fish oil, and they say that this stuff triples the speed of the magic boat!" That's three times that! It stands to reason that after we used manta oil, it should be much faster than it is now! ”

Of course, this triple refers to the increased speed of the Magic Device, which has nothing to do with the speed of the sails. If perfect manta fish oil is used, the speed that the Cangtian can really reach should be between eighteen and twenty-two knots. In that case, of course, it will be far better than the Sea Emperor!

"Sailors like to exaggerate." Tang Ke prevaricated, "Besides, we don't necessarily need devilfish oil, even if it is tough, the strength of the Sky is not weak." ”

"If you go head-to-head, the chances of the Sky winning are too small!" Frankie pressed his transparent hand on Donk's shoulder, "I love the Sky, but this love didn't make me dizzy. In terms of firepower, the Sea Emperor is more powerful than the Cangtian. Our greatest advantage is the ability to fly, and only by using this advantage can we win. If we compete in firepower, we can't win! ”

There were many words in Tangk's throat that he couldn't say or speak. His face was dark, and he muttered, "Franky, just let everything take its course." ”

"I can't go with the flow, I have to fight to win." Franky's body began to flicker, his face contorted with pain, "Why?" Why is manta oil so little effective? ”

Donk didn't answer.

In front, the lookout frequently reported the situation of the Sea Emperor, and the blue light of the water element became brighter and brighter, and the situation was precarious. The Sea Emperor suddenly slowed down, which was a red flag.

Donk didn't have time to pay any more attention to Frankie, and with a force in his hand, he pushed the rudder downwards and controlled the Sky to lower altitude.

"Prepare for battle! Pull open the gun door at the bottom of the boat and light up the siren sonic cannon! ”

There are a total of twenty-three cannons that the Sky can attack downward, one of which is a medium gun, and the rest are small guns. As the cannon doors were opened, the barrels carved with the banshee sirens stretched out, pointing diagonally to the sea.

The Sea Emperor retracted most of its sails, leaving only a few small spinnakers to assist in steering, and directly crossed the sea, using the side of the hull to meet the Sky. The Sea Emperor Demon standing on the top of the ship's building moved, its mechanical joints made a "clang" sound, and a pair of iron hands turned their backs towards the back of their heads, like tight bowstrings. The water element shimmered, the light pure and soft, already condensed into the size of a watermelon, surrounded by water vapor, and became blurred.

The beauty of the water element is limited to the surface, and its essence is as tyrannical as a powder keg.

The Sea Emperor's means don't stop there. The sea around her stirred strangely, and some of the waves, like boiling water, rushed upwards to form a perfect circle. The waves rose rapidly, forming a wall made of water, which quickly closed into a large oval-shaped hood. The water on the cover is flowing, reflecting the starlight in the sky, which looks beautiful.

Don't look at this as just a layer of water, but the defensive effect it can play is not small, and after the cannonball hits it, the strength will drop a lot. If it's a small cannon shell, after passing through this layer of water, it has no power.

This is another of the Neptune's abilities - the Water Shield!

Hidden in the impregnable shield of water, the Sea Emperor will undoubtedly have the upper hand in battle.

"My old friend, you must be glad to be able to fight this battle, right? In the whole world, there are no more than five fingers of people who can make me regard Goldbeard as a friend, and you are one of them. This battle can make me a matter of heart, and it can be regarded as a gift from me to you. I think you must be very satisfied with this gift! Goldbeard stood majestically on the side of the Sea Emperor Demon Man, staring at the Sky that was close in front of him.

On the Sky, Frankie looked down with a sad face and wondered: "Why didn't the manta fish oil work, why did it ......?"

In extreme pain and disappointment, Frankie's already faint figure became more transparent, as if it was about to disappear.

Donk thinks he's done the right thing, but his actions don't stand up to Frankie. He felt a little guilty in his heart, gritted his teeth, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't worry about that! The enemy is close at hand, so let's have a good fight! ”

Frankie nodded bitterly and said, "Okay." Let's go to war like that. Maybe you shouldn't have tried to rely on external forces in the first place. This glory should be fought for by the Sky with its own strength. ”

The distance between the two ships was reduced to seven hundred yards, and the bow cannon of the Sky fired a furious blow, and the cannonball pierced through the water shield and struck the deck of the Sea Emperor, but only dented the planks a little. When the distance reached six hundred yards, the Cangtian continued to move head-on, and only by getting closer could it turn its hull sideways and bombard the enemy ship in a zigzag shape.

However, the Sea Emperor did not give the Sky this opportunity, the effective range of the water element was as high as 1,000 yards, and 700 yards was enough.

"Shhh

A cold light flashed in the Sea Emperor Demon's eyes, his hands increased in strength, and the water element screamed. It threw the water elemental at the bow of the Sky like a ball, and the force was so great that it surpassed the cannon.

Floating on the bow of the ship, Frankie saw that the situation was not good and shouted a warning. Hearing this, Donk hurriedly lowered the rudder. In this case, the left and right sides cannot be dodged, and it is wise to reduce the height.

The water elemental was like a meteor, piercing the night sky, killing in an instant, and slamming into the stone bow of the Sky. The water balloon shattered the eagle's head directly, then pierced the bow of the ship, and when it encountered enough resistance, it exploded like an explosive made of water. The power of the water elemental is terrifying, and the ten cannons combined are not comparable. A hole had been blown out of the bow of the Sky, as if it had just been bitten by an evil dragon, and the wounds on the planks were terrifying.

The water vapor splashed in a diffusing manner, and a shock wave was set off that shattered the planks and scattered wood chips and stones. The impact was so strong that it even overturned the cannon. The sailors were unlucky, blown away by the waves, some fell off the deck, others were injured by sawdust and stones, and even had bloody sights of limbs flying.

The water vapor carried the sawdust and stones, and collided with the propeller, one of the larger stones hit the propeller, and the propeller broke a large section in response, and the propeller was impacted, making a "crunch" sound, and the speed became slower and slower. The Sky fell down from the sky, she didn't fly high in the first place, and it was only a blink of an eye when she landed on the sea.

The Sky lost the updraft created by its propellers, and the sixty-yard-long hull began to fall, very quickly, and tilted. The lights went out a few times, the pirate flag was wrapped in twisted flowers, and the sailors tasted the feeling of weightlessness and screamed in shock.

The sailors on the deck grabbed at the objects around them in a panic, and many of them fell, and those who stood on the beams and were in charge of the sails fell straight down.

Shocked and clung to the rudder, he suddenly remembered the cannon door with wide open at the bottom of the ship, and if it fell to the surface, the sea water would rush into the cannon door in a frenzy, and the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Hurry up and close the cannon door! Fast! ”

Tonk hurriedly raised the rudder and stared up at the propeller, hoping that the propeller would turn again. But his wish was not answered by the Sky, and the propeller was lifeless.

Although Tang Ke gave the order in time, the speed of the Sky's fall was too fast, and those cannon doors were too late to close. The Sky smashed into the sea in such a state of opening on all sides, making a muffled sound, and the hull of the ship sank deep into the sea, splashing towering waves, and being thrown up by the buoyancy of the sea. The sea water rushed into the gun door, and all the sailors on that deck were swept to the ground, and the water level continued to rise, and the speed was staggering.

Donk stood still and hurriedly glanced at the chaotic deck, where the sailors fell in a piece, splashes of water falling on it, and the ground became slippery. Dozens of portholes on the hull, after this ordeal, were half extinguished.

What a mess!

This was Donk's first feeling, and in the first round of engagement, the Sky was defeated. This was expected by him, but he didn't want to lose so ugly! At least not at the touch of a button!

"Franky! Wherever you are, hurry up and close the waterproof door on the gun deck, if you let the water rush up, the ship will sink! I don't want to be up close and personal with mermaids! The sail controller climbed up the boom and lowered all the sails, and without the propellers, we had to move forward on the surface. The lookout's eyes widened for me, and I kept an eye on the situation of the Sea Emperor, and stepped up my report. Stand up for me, there are no pirates lying on the ground fighting! Whoever is slow will chop off his ear tonight! ”

Donk's rude voice made the chaotic sailors feel much calmer, and their movements were more agile. Everyone is in their place, hurry up and clean up the mess, and prepare for the next difficulties.

Just as the Sky was busy making a mess, the Sea Emperor raised its sails, tread the waves, took advantage of the situation to turn the bow of the ship, made a circle, and aimed the side of the ship at the Sky. This small action of moving forward in a circle is to shorten the distance between the two ships, and the closer the distance, the more destructive the shells will naturally be. The gun doors on the starboard side of the Sea Emperor were opened one after another, and the frequency was uniform, and the sailors were clearly well trained. Two rows of solemn and neat cannon muzzles, with a strange blue light, this is the power of the water element.

At the same time, a light lit up on the bottom of the Sea Emperor, and a bright magic array slid out from the bottom of the ship, and the magic array moved quickly towards the Sky. Although it was night, the magic array was very conspicuous with its bright light.

This magic circle is another of the Sea Emperor's abilities, capable of creating a large column of water that rises into the sky, which is specially used to overturn enemy ships.

Seeing that he was anxious, Donk grabbed the rudder and controlled the Sky to steer and avoid damage to the bow again. This round of shelling can't be dodged, but we have to let the Sea Emperor taste the shells too!

Goldbeard's skill in driving the ship, coupled with the speed advantage of the Sea Emperor, did not give the Cangtian a chance to turn around at all, and bit the bow of the Cangtian. The magic array stirred up a column of water, almost overturning the Sky. The Sea Emperor then launched the first round of fire, and the cannon exploded, and the cannonballs wrapped in water vapor whistled out, forming a barrage, and sparsely hit the bow of the Sky. Among these shells, one hit the red dot on the bow of the Cangtian, and the other brushed the red dot on the port side of the Cangtian.

If the winner is judged by the score, the Sea Emperor has already scored two points.

Tang Ke inspected the damage of the Sky through the system, and in the first round of battles alone, the durability of the Sky was reduced by more than sixty points! He was in a contradictory situation, unable to win, but unwilling to lose too badly. He decided that he would hold out for a while longer, no matter what, and at least a few encounters with the Sea Emperor. The top priority is to dodge the raging magic array, and the Cangtian can still resist the attack of the cannonballs.

"Franky! Check out the motorized gear and propellers to see if they can be repaired, and if we can fly, we still have a chance! ”

Donk's voice seemed to sink into the sea, and he didn't get a response from Franky. He took a sip and spat out the seawater that had splashed into his mouth.

The Sky could not fly, so it could only try to avoid the battle by sailing with wind power. The two ships began to compete for speed and position, and the Sea Emperor performed perfectly, always occupying an excellent position, and the cannonballs were also fired out in turn, constantly weakening the vitality of the Sky.

"My old friend, is that all you can do with the boat you build? This really disappoints me. Like a towering statue, Goldbeard stood on the deck, his hands folded around his chest, and his red cloak moved by the wind.

The sound passed through the cannon fire and the waves, and reached the Sky. Mo said that it was Franky, and even the sailors were so angry that they gritted their teeth when they heard it.

"! It's not time to lose yet! I can't let the world's navigators laugh off their big teeth! Donk roared red-faced, his hands crushing the rudder. He only now realized how ridiculous his original worries were, he thought he was going to lose on purpose, but the real situation was so cruel, the Sea Emperor didn't need others to deliberately give in at all!

Another round of shells flew in, all hitting the stern of the Sky, and another red dot was hit, leaving a bullet mark. Relying on the advantage of speed, the Sea Emperor was really unforgiving, constantly using the running position to seize the advantageous position, and firing shells while swimming.

If this continues, the Sky will have to be defeated.

Although after this battle, Donk can get a great reward from Goldbeard, but he is not happy at all.

He'd rather not have any bullshit rewards than let the Sky fail miserably! Why is he at the mercy of the strong, running around like a clown?

He questioned inwardly, and his mouth was yelling, but the whistling cannonballs drowned out his voice.

At this moment, Frankie appeared, and he floated up like a blank piece of paper. He had a dead expression, and his eyes were dull, as if he had been reduced to real nothingness, and had lost everything. Mourning is greater than heart death, which is what we are talking about.

Donk looked Frankie up and down, noticed that something was wrong, and asked urgently, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"If the Sky loses, I lose too." Frankie said lifelessly. He's an undead, so he can't cry.

"Frankie, don't worry about winning or losing this time, I'm worried about you now, what's wrong with you?"

Frankie's body lightened a little more, and his feet began to disappear like burning pieces of paper, completely gone. The undead reversed the laws of nature and forcibly remained in the world, and once dispersed, they would break away from the cycle of life and death and move towards a complete end.

"Donk, it doesn't matter how I am. The Sky is everything to me. She's there, so I'm in. She died, so I died. I have no relatives, no friends, no temperature, and there is only one reason for my existence, and that is to see the victory of the Cangtian. Now she has lost and the maneuver is broken. I felt a lot of pain, and it was extreme enough to break me. Donk, you asked me what's wrong, and I told you, I'm going to die, and I'm going to die with the Sky. ”

The cruel flames had burned Frankie's knees.

Donk hears an indifferent system sound, suggesting that Franki's health is near-fat. His heart was in agony, as if a knife had ripped off a piece of flesh from it. He didn't expect this to happen, he didn't expect this battle to be so important to Frankie, and he didn't expect Frankie to gamble his life and death for this fight.

For Donk, what kind of existence is this undead? Brothers? Men? The guards of the Sky?

Whatever the answer, Donk doesn't want to lose Frankie.

"Frankie, although the Sky has lost, it will not be scrapped, I will send the Sky to the nearest dock tomorrow and find the best craftsmen to repair it!" Donk tries his best to save the undead from vanishing.

"What can we do if the Heavenly Heaven, which has borne the shame, is repaired? And...... The Sky can't be repaired anymore. One shell hit the Maneuvering Unit of the Sky, and the entire propeller was scrapped. This propeller was the pride of my life, and no one has cracked it to this day. In other words, no one can make the Sky fly again. Frankie said bleakly, "Goodbye Donk, thank you for bringing the Sky back to the skies." It is better for her to be buried on the sea than in a cave in the dark. ”

Tang Ke was shocked, and asked in a trembling voice, "The Sky can't fly anymore?" ”

Frankie shook his head and said, "No, the damaged part is the most important part of the entire mobile device, it is simply the heart of the Sky, more important than the magic furnace." ”

Tonk's throat choked on something, and his mouth opened open, but he couldn't make any sound. His gaze shifted downward, and Frankie's legs were about to disappear, and his heartache intensified at the sight. He tasted the bitterness of losing someone important, and he lost not only Franky, but the ship at his feet. There was no ship to carry him to fly anymore, and the Sky that could not fly was no longer the Sky. The Sky is dead, and Frankie is right.

Pain grows, like mold that devours good.

He felt like he had fallen into a whirlpool, sinking and sinking, losing not only his body, but also his heart. The cannon was still ringing, but he couldn't hear it, he was preoccupied with the pain and watching Frankie disappear.

The corners of Frankie's mouth grinned, perhaps trying to laugh, but apparently unsuccessfully. He was no longer reluctant, and reverted to his previous expression of despair.

Donk shouted, trying to hold back the time and stop the tragedy from happening. He can smash a watch, but he can't change the time. For the first time, he felt that his arms were so weak, who could his twin swords protect?

"I can't just end it, I have to do something, I'm going to save Frankie, I can't let the Sky be disgraced!"

Donk is like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, cheered up in the midst of destruction and despair. His eyes shattered his sorrow and condensed his look, and his lost hands clenched again, regaining their original strength.

"It's over, Donk." Frankie shook his head.

"Nope! It's not over yet! We haven't lost yet! Donk rushed up and grabbed Frankie's dim shoulder, "Frankie, I order you, as the head of the pirates, that you must not disappear!" Keep your eyes open, I'm going to do everything I can to make the Sky win! I don't care about the bullshit Golden Beard, he's a bastard if he's unhappy, I'm just going to let him fail miserably! Tomorrow's newspaper headlines will occupy all the pages with the victory of the Sky! Since the Sky is going to die, let her die as she deserves, burn all her strength, and win the greatest honor in her life! ”

Frankie was stunned for a moment, gained the strength to live, and stopped the momentum of disappearing.
