The Silent Death rushed straight into the encirclement of Blacksail's main fleet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This move surprised all the pirates around him, including Edward Hugh himself.

"Looking for death?" said the pirate leader, looking at the other man's completely unreasonable behavior.

The one-eyed Mason on one side seemed to be shocked by the other party's momentum: "She seems to be coming at us! Boss, will there be any fraud? These guys have always been full of tricks!"

Edward Hugh glared at him. There are more than one way to describe a pirate leader, cold, cruel, crazy, cunning...... But no matter how many people are asked, timidity is definitely not included in these words.

"Hmph, what trick can match our current strength?"

The squad facing the Silent Death wasn't as calm as its leader.

If you haven't experienced the scene of the giant ship splitting the waves and facing you, you can't understand the oppression of being in it.

For a time, the nine ships in this direction, including the crew of a heavy cruiser, were all stunned and even forgot to breathe.

"Are you stupid, stupid?" said Edward Hugh, who had seen all this through his binoculars, and was already thinking about which poorly commanded guys he should chop up and feed the sharks after this battle.

Seeing that his ships were still at a loss, he ordered: "Fire a few shots and give those fools a wake-up call!"

Moments later, the roar of artillery came from the Megalodon.

The captain of the heavy cruiser was the first to relent, after all, they were not ordinary pirates, but a member of the main fleet that the pirate lord valued the most.

Then the other warships also went into action, and this small group, as it had been rehearsed many times before, dispersed to the sides, forming a small encirclement similar to the large outer encirclement. The other ships on the periphery also changed their positions, and surrounded the Silent Death again.

The Silent Reaper was now in the center of two concentric circles, one large and one small, and the ships were trained to keep each other in a staggered position, so that they would never accidentally injure their companions even if they fired.

"Haha, can they still run to the sky, boss, what a trick you have!" the one-eyed Mason was flattering at the moment.

Edward Hugh still had no smile on his face.

It stands to reason that this level of encirclement is foolproof no matter how you look at it. But he couldn't put his mind at ease anyway.

Two very different emotions mingled in his mind: on the one hand, he had unreserved contempt for Luca Lester's thief, who did not believe that he could do so much, and on the other hand, he did not dare to underestimate his opponents, and the losses he suffered were clearly on the books, even the transport ships used to transport stones during the construction of the Gravel Island Fort were destroyed by them.

The first cannon slightly disrupted his thoughts.

This was followed by more shelling that was too dense to distinguish one by one.

Smoke rose from the sea, and black powder was widely used in this era, the most striking feature of which was the smoke that came out of ignition.

However, the crews of the ships closest to the Silent Death were surprised to find that their shells did not hit.

The first to fire the guns were the ships located downwind, because of the wind, the slightly inclined hull increased the elevation angle of the shells. Even so, the Silent Reaper's towering five-story deck should never fail.

But now, rows of cannonballs just burst through the air above the huge ship, and fell into the sea behind it.

"Captain, this is not right!" cried the first mate of the heavy cruiser to his captain, "has the ship become shorter?"

"It's a boat, it's not a man!" said the captain, holding up his binoculars, and he lost the ability to speak again.

"Good thing, Captain, I think it's sinking!" shouted the first mate, pointing to the lowest deck of the great ship, which had already submerged.

The Silent Reaper sank much faster than the Black Sail Pirates could have imagined.

After adjusting the angle, the shells fired again missed one by one, and when they looked closely, half of the huge ship had already entered the sea.

As if that weren't quick enough, the bow of the Silent Reaper slammed down, and the stern cocked upward. If any pirate had seized the moment to fire a few shots, he might have been able to leave a scratch or two on the stern plank, but after a moment's hesitation, the fleeting opportunity sank into the sea with the spray.

A huge ship with a length of one hundred and twenty-eight meters, just like this, in full view of everyone, a fierce man plunged into the bottom of the sea, leaving nothing but countless white sprays and the huge whirlpool.

Immediately, the pirate squad, which had not yet recovered from the shock, found themselves in another trouble.

The Silent Reaper sank without a trace, leaving a massive void in its original location. The surrounding sea water poured in quickly, and in a matter of seconds, a huge whirlpool was formed.

People who have been at sea all the year round know very well that such whirlpools, let alone people, even smaller ships, can be dragged to the bottom of the sea effortlessly, and some less sturdy ships may disintegrate before they are completely swallowed by the whirlpool, not to mention, near this whirlpool, there are now a full nine warships.

When it comes to running for their lives, most people react quickly. Not only the ships closest to the center of the whirlpool, but even the ships in the outer encirclement quickly turned around and fled away from the whirlpool.

But the basic law of this kind of whirlpool is: the larger the size of the sunken hull, the faster the sinking speed, and the greater the range and suction power of the whirlpool.

In the Sunset Islands, you probably can't find a ship bigger than the Silent Death.

Of the nine ships, only the outermost one was barely struggling, and the other eight were all spinning uncontrollably in the direction of the maelstrom.

The first of them to be sucked in reached the center of the whirlpool in minutes, and with little resistance, sank to the bottom of the ocean with the Silent Reaper's course.

It's just that it doesn't have the ability to float again.

As the next two C-class ships spun, the sail lines became entangled with each other, slowing them down to death.

However, it was only an instant, and the heavy corvette, which was also following the current, collided headlong from the side, and the two ships broke into four in unison, and then disappeared under the whirlpool.

On the Megalodon, Edward Hugh slammed his telescope to the ground.

But before he could vent his remaining anger, a small rock fell from the sky and smashed impartially on his head. He cursed and looked up, only to see a gray parrot that was flying away quickly.

He looked down and saw a letter tied to the stone, and on the envelope was scribbled the words:

Received by Captain Edward Hugh
