CH.45 An Unprecedented Crisis

It is now blowing southeasterly winds with force 6.

Donk stood on the bow of the ship, picked up the Statue of the Wind and blew three breaths at the Statue. The idol itself did not react, but soon a strong wind blew around, the sails swelled, and the speed of the Black Pearl suddenly increased. Donk's hair was ruffled by the wind, and he glanced at the end of the rope tied to the cable, which had turned from southeast to due south!

Observing the direction of the rope or flag is an easy way to identify the direction of the wind.

"Good stuff." Tang Ke couldn't help but kiss the goddess statue, but fortunately, this action did not invite heaven's punishment.

Due to the southerly winds, the Black Pearl quickly overtook the Lucky, and by three hours, the Black Pearl had left the Lucky far behind. Not wanting to make the distance between the two ships too different, Donk ordered the sailors to put away part of the sails and reduce the ship's speed.

Donk found that after using the statue of the goddess, only his own ship could be blessed by the wind, and the Lucky could not borrow a little wind even if they were traveling side by side.

For the rest of the day, Donk would use the Statue of the Wind once a day, and in doing so, the Black Pearl became faster. He moved most of the Lucky's cargo aboard the Black Pearl to lighten the load on the Lucky, so that the two ships could still sail at a relatively equal speed.

In the first few days of going to sea, Hualu was always evasive about Tangk, and even if they met, they would seem very nervous. But after a few days, she noticed that Donk had not made any more deviant behaviors, and only then did she slowly return to her former self.

Although Hanaro is a lookout, she still has a part of her leisure time every day.

When she is not working, she learns some sailing knowledge from One-Eye, and spends the rest of her time making handicrafts. She likes to make knick-knacks out of animal teeth, shells and other things, and she can also carve patterns on bones, and she is also very good at weaving.

Flower Dew has been working on a tooth necklace lately, and she's only halfway there. This necklace was favored by Donk, and Dew said that she would give it to Donk when she was done.

On this day, as if an omen, the sky was overcast, and a light rain began in the morning. The sea also looked pitch black, and the two ships seemed to sail in shaky jars of ink.

The Black Pearl was in front, and because of the statue of the goddess, the lucky number was left behind.

Hualu was on duty, she looked around with her binoculars, and after a slow circle, she turned behind her, wanting to stop by to see if anything was wrong with Lucky. She repeats this wait-and-see process every day, and she is used to everything being normal, but when she looks at it today, she is surprised to see that the lucky number is waving the flag.

Dew had already learned some simple flag words, and she found that the flag words played by the other party were: Danger!

"Captain! Something happened to Lucky! Hualu's face changed and she shouted.

Donk was drinking wine in the captain's room, but after listening to the sailor's report, his face sank, and he hurried out of the house. He climbed up the rope ladder to the mast lookout, snatched the dew's binoculars, and looked at the Lucky, only to be foggy.

He wiped the raindrops off the camera, and only then did he see the situation of the Lucky One, who was issuing a flag that warned danger.

There are more than a dozen cannons on the Lucky, plus there is a one-eyed sharpshooter, even if you run into an ordinary sea monster, you don't have to worry, but at this time, it played a dangerous flag, proving that it must have encountered a very tricky problem.

Donk hurriedly shouted, "Take out the signal flag!" Hurry up! ”

The sailors on board were nervous, and immediately someone went to take out a whole set of signal flags. The sailors were all rookies, and none of them knew how to use a signal flag, so Donk had to do it himself.

"You help me see what's going on on the other side, I'll flag them over here." Tang Ke hurried to the flower, and the two of them huddled on the lookout, letting the wind and rain blow.

"But, but I still don't know a lot of flags!" Hua Lu was in a hurry, and there was water swirling in her eyes.

"Not so much, but it won't!"

Donk slipped the binoculars to Dew, then picked up two small flags of different colors and played the banner "Confluence", which means that the Black Pearl will turn back to help Lucky.

Hua Lu was so nervous that she remembered the flag that she had only heard once or twice before, as if she was in a hurry.

"They're talking about a strong enemy!" Flowerdew shouted, staring at the movement of the ship opposite.

Enemy? Tang Ke's heart moved, who would be the so-called strong enemy of the one-eyed? Sea monster? Navy? Or the Black Toad Pirates!? When he thought of this enemy, he had a sense of crisis on his back.

To test this suspicion, Donk branded the "pirate" flag.

The Lucky was also observing the Black Pearl's reaction and immediately changed its flag.

"They replied 'yes' and added a number 'six' and didn't know what that meant." Flowerdew shouted.

Tang Ke chuckled in his heart for a moment, and it seemed that he had indeed run into the Black Toad Pirate Group, because the Black Toad had exactly six ships! It was too late for him to regret it, he thought that the sea was so vast that it would be difficult for the two fleets to meet, but he didn't expect him to be so unlucky.

At this time, on the Lucky, One-Eye also stood on the lookout and used the flag to contact Tang Ke in front. Behind the Lucky, six black toad ships were in hot pursuit, crushing the waves, like a group of beasts with open fangs.

The two pirate groups met just now, and these days, the Black Toad Pirate Group has been inquiring about Tang Ke's whereabouts, and following the scattered information they have gotten to hunt down Tang Ke, because Tang Ke stayed on Starfish Island for several days, and the Black Toad Pirate Group finally chased and killed him.

The Black Toad Pirate Regiment is violent, and this time it is determined to kill Tang Ke, and it is a shame.

One-Eye knows the strength of the black toad very well, and aside from other ships, even the Purgatory is enough to destroy the dragon pirate group.

Originally, there was no suspense in this battle, but One-Eye thought of Donk's special ability, maybe Donk could turn things around with his powerful own strength like last time.

With this glimmer of hope, One-Eye changed his slogan.

Can you win?

Dew tells Donk about Lucky's questioning. Tang Ke gritted his teeth and was silent, although he had the Ring of the Sea Vortex Crazy Fish, coupled with his own Pirate King system, he was strong, but in the face of six ships, he had no confidence at all.

The Ring of the Vortex Mad Fish can still be used twice, and even if you are lucky enough to destroy three ships, the opponent will have three ships left. When the time comes, two to three, it will still be at a disadvantage. Although Donk still has some bonus points, they are limited in the amount of heat they can use.

Moreover, the difference between six ships and two ships is not only in numbers, but also in firepower and personnel!

The third captain of the Black Toad Pirate Regiment is the strength of the second order, so what strength will Harold himself have? A truly strong man, even if he single-handedly kills the Black Pearl, Donk is difficult to resist.

If it is hard to fight, Tang Ke is only two percent sure.

In desperation, Donk played the banner of "escape".

The Lucky was silent for a while, as if it had made a lot of determination, and then the flag of "My Royal Highness" was played.

After reporting the other party's movements, Hualu hesitated and asked, "Captain, I saw a ship chasing after the Lucky, are they going to hit us?" ”

The previous naval battle had left a deep shadow on Hualu's heart, and she still felt palpitations when she recalled that scene now.

Donk didn't have the heart to answer Dew at all, he snatched Dew's binoculars and looked over at the Lucky, who was no longer unfurling the flag. Behind the Lucky, a ship is desperately chasing after it, and the two will soon be within range.

As long as one ship drags the Lucky, the larger ships that are a little slower behind will catch up and lay siege to the Lucky. Maybe even the broadside battle will not be fought, and the black toad will choose to directly hit the lucky to the bottom of the sea.

On the Lucky, One-Eye climbed down the mast with a solemn expression. In his life as a pirate, he made another big gamble with his life. He bets that Donk will keep his promise and destroy the Black Toad Pirates in the future. And what he has to do now is to drag the fleet of black toads.

"Turn the sails 25 degrees southeast! Throw away everything on the boat except weapons, including food and water! One-Eye shouted aboard the Lucky, and he brushed shoulders with the pirates.

The raindrops were a little more dense at this time, wetting everyone on deck, and everyone's expressions were nervous, even a little afraid.

"Captain Donk will come to our rescue, right?" The speaking pirate had seen Donk summon a whirlpool, and he was filled with awe and adoration for him.

Instead of answering the pirate, One-Eye pulled out his pistol, pulled the trigger at the sky, and shouted, "Shoot those who disturb people's hearts, shoot those who neglect orders, and shoot those who are cowardly!" Now, turn the sails for me! ”

Seeing that One-Eye was so calm, the pirates also calmed down and changed course according to the order. One-Eye did this in order to lure the Black Toad's fleet away and buy time for the Black Pearl to escape.

One-eyed carried a long musket, and muttered in a cold voice: "Hawkeye, if you are a gentleman, you should stand up and fight this battle with me!" ”

Seeing the Lucky turn the bow of the ship, Donk already understood One-Eye's decision, and One-Eye's departure meant that he would definitely die. He feels very bad in his heart, and One-Eye is very compatible with him, and he is a good buddy.

In the distance, a row of cannon ports was shining with fire, and the rumbling sound of cannons could already be heard!
