Chapter 397: Fierce Battle with Black Pearl

The noisy sea breeze came from the west, blowing the sails of the Black Pearl and the Ranger, unlike the bulging of the Ranger, the sails of the Black Pearl were already tattered, just swaying in the breeze, and the tattered strips of cloth fluttering in the wind (dàng), coupled with the mist that could not be dissolved, added a bit of ghostly atmosphere.

On the Black Pearl, Barbossa looked at the breach in the sail of the Black Pearl that was hit by the chain bullet, and suddenly laughed proudly: "Haah~ Gentlemen (getlemen), these British ladies don't seem to know what artillery is for, it's time to show our gentlemanly demeanor!" Let's teach them~"

Barbossa mistook the Swiss Guards aboard the Ranger for the British Red Jackets, and disparaged them as "English ladies." (As mentioned earlier, the Redcoats were dressed in a very feminine manner, which was the fashion of the era.) Wigs, white stockings, lace trims, and grease and powder on the face if possible)

"Okay, Captain~(Aye~Aye, Captain!) The pirates immediately laughed and agreed.

"Sir, the cannon is reloaded, and we are waiting for your order!" I saw a bald, long-haired, vicissitude-faced pirate walk up and say to Barbossa.

At the moment when the two ships staggered, Han Xing and Captain Barbossa each stood at the bow of the ship, drew their swords at their waists almost at the same time, and roared and roared, "Fire!" ”

The Black Pearl flickered with orange fire, and the whirling solid bullets slammed into the port side of the Ranger, and the Scorner's sleek, new-like oak ship (shēn) abruptly appeared with blackened holes. Accompanied by the splashing of sawdust, the crackling sound of the wooden planks being penetrated and the squeaking of the tooth-aching planks were heard from the boat (shēn), and the whole boat was trembling slightly, like a girl in a single dress in winter (rì).

However, the Black Pearl is not having a good time, and with the increase of the [Break One by One] effect, the Ranger gains a 50% reduction in reload time, and a 50% increase in lethality and (shè) range. This means that the Ranger's reload speed has been greatly increased, and the reload speed that used to take 30 minutes is now only 15 seconds, which is more than twice as fast!

The hail-sized grapeballs rained down on the upper deck of the Black Pearl, and the pirates who were sailing and loading their guns on the deck were immediately beaten into a sieve, some were "scraped" to the ground, and some were swept out by the powerful habits (xìng) attached to the grapeballs, and smashed heavily on the deck or bulkhead.

The Black Pearl's guns may be sharp, but the Ranger is an ocean-going cruiser born for battle, not the two-masted schooner that was destroyed by the Black Pearl just now, but it will not be sent to the sky by a wave of shelling. After all, even that brig schooner was sunk by at least three rounds of shelling from the Black Pearl~

"Hahaha~ I really can't kill you, I know this! But grapeshots can at least get you down, right? Even if you are immortal (shēn), it will take a little time to recover, right? Han Xing stood at the bow of the ship, his right hand supporting his broken heart, and his left hand setting up a pergola, looking with great interest at the pirates on the Black Jane who were brought down by grape bullets (xìng) and lying on the ground on all fours.

What Han Xing didn't know was that Barbossa's gaze suddenly tightened at the moment when it staggered with him, and his face showed jealousy.

I saw that after this confrontation, the Black Pearl was heading northeast, and did not skip to the stern of the Ranger to continue the struggle.

"Captain, why should you let them go?" I saw a thin one-eyed pirate with a pot lid on his face, and asked Barbossa cautiously, with a puzzled expression. His right eye was long gone, replaced by a poorly made wooden prosthetic eyeball, which moved in its sockets, adding to its hideous horror.

"This ship is very strange, just now, this ship actually glowed with purple luster, and their gun loading speed and speed increased significantly at that moment! And their captain, I smell a hint of danger on him (shēn)~" Even though the Ranger had faded away, Barbossa's old face was full of solemnity, and he said in a solemn tone to the one-eyed pirate named Regaiti.

"Regait, what did the captain say to you?" Seeing the one-eyed pirate walking back from the side of Barbossa (shēn), the pirate with a red rosacea and a bald head with long yellow hair leaned forward and asked. The duo are loyal fans of Barbossa and a pair of living treasures throughout the collection.

The one-eyed pirate Regaiti looked around, then whispered in the bald pirate's ear, "Pintel, I definitely wouldn't talk nonsense if anyone asked me, but you are my good brother." You know, but who asked you to ask the question? I'll tell you the truth, the captain thinks there's something odd about the ship on the other side! As he spoke, the one-eyed pirate Regaiti also elbowed the mouth of the top pinter (xiōng), which has the meaning of "God knows, you know and I know".

Pintel was so shocked that he almost cried out, "What? Is there a more powerful warship in the world than the Black Pearl? We've been cursed by that damn Aztec god, and we've become humans and ghosts! Could it be that they are also a magic ship? Captain Barbossa scared? ”

"Shh~" The one-eyed pirate Regeti hurriedly blocked Pinter's mouth with his fingers and said, "Are you crazy?" Don't you know that our Captain Barbossa doesn't like people chewing on his tongue behind his back? Don't you see the purple glow that flickered on that ship? ”

"Is this ship really a magic ship?" Pintel looked incredulous.

"I'm afraid yes~ In the past, we didn't believe in magic, did we? It's just that now, we have to believe it! The one-eyed pirate Rigati spread his hands, pulled the wooden prosthetic eye out of his socket, blew on it, and wiped it with his sleeve.

Han Xing thought that it was because of the increase in his speed that the Black Pearl gave up chasing him! How did he know that he was going back and forth at the Ghost Gate~

If the Black Pearl had taken advantage of its maneuverability and went around to the rear of the Ranger and fired at the stern, the Ranger would have already become a sea of debris! It won't end much better than the Interceptor in the movie!

Of course. The Ranger's speed increase was noticeable, with a 50% increase in speed from 28 knots to a staggering 40 knots (74 km/h). Although theoretically, a 50% speed increase could allow the Ranger to reach a top speed of 42 knots.

But even if it is the Black Pearl, the top speed is only 30 knots when there is no wind (qíng), and the downwind is only 35 to 40 knots, which is the limit of a battleship in the sail era~ At this speed, it can already be called a "racing ship"!

In fact, don't look at Han Xing's active skills of [Napoleon's Artillery Tactics (Notebook)], he surpassed the Black Pearl in a short period of time, but this effect can only last for two hours, if the Black Pearl really persevers in chasing, the Ranger will not be able to escape from the palm of the Black Pearl.

Just as Han Xing and everyone in the space were celebrating the escape from the tiger's mouth, the ace agent team was the first to encounter the Black Pearl, which was holding its breath.

Even before the curse, the Black Pearl was a famous and legendary warship in the Caribbean, when did it let the "fat sheep" escape from its mouth? What's more, after being cursed, the black pearl was even more powerful, and its combat effectiveness increased greatly, and it actually let a cruiser escape from under his nose.

And the colorful inflatable yacht of the ace team is simply a provocation for the pirates who are already holding their stomachs on the Black Pearl:

"What? Painted in a variety of colors, looking for a fight, isn't it? Just now a cruiser, if it runs away, forget it! You have a small sampan, and you dare to provoke the dignified Black Pearl? We can't handle the cruiser, and we can't handle you? ”

Poor Mr. Oliver Salano and the members of the Ace Secret Service no longer have the domineering and chic energy they had just now, and under the ravages of the Black Pearl, they have to choose to "abandon ship". Completely reduced to a fish and turtle, like a chicken in the water, desperately fluttering its "wings". also involved the two newcomers who followed them and made soup chicken together!

"Hahahaha~Look at this group of fools~" Seeing their powerless struggle in the water, the pirates led by Barbossa broke out into happy laughter on the Black Pearl. They didn't even want to refill the guns of the drowning people, or capture them, so they left them tossing and turning on the water. (shēn) is an endless sea, there is no land, no matter how good the water (xìng) is, in the end, it is not only the end of exhaustion and death?

The next unlucky thing is the sloop sailing ship of the handsome men and beautiful women, this time the pirates on the Black Pearl are even more desperate, and they run over their small boat directly, and the small sloop sailing ship, how is it the opponent of such a behemoth as the Black Pearl, it was immediately crushed, and those handsome men and beautiful women immediately followed in the footsteps of the ace team, abandoned the boat, and jumped into the icy sea like dumplings.

If you are stuck in the past and see these handsome men and beautiful women, including almost all the pirates of the human race, you will have to take them to the ship and ravage them severely. But now, limited by the curse of the Aztec gods, let alone the "women of warm nephrite", even food and wine are tasteless to these pirates, and the curse of the Black Pearl gives them immortality (shēn), but also deprives them of almost all the right to pleasure, and puts them in an endless abyss of pain that cannot be satisfied.

The handsome men and women soaked in the sea began to look around, trying to find hope of survival, but they saw a British warship with a rice flag on the mast at the end of the distant skyline - it was the Interceptor carrying Norrington and Elizabeth Swan!

The members of the handsome men and women team, as if they saw the dawn of hope, swam in the direction of the Interceptor in unison, but they were not the only ········ones who found the shadow of the Interceptor (shēn).

At the bow of the Black Pearl, Captain Barbossa pulled out a monocular and looked at the Interceptor slowly approaching in the distance, revealing a smile full of smugness and cruelty.

Obviously, when the Ranger escaped from his hands, he needed a punching bag with enough weight, and what better way to relieve his anger than to ravage another cruiser?
