Chapter 85: The Number of People? It doesn't make sense! (4K Word Chapter)

On the dock not far from the Judicial Ship, Tom wore a rare formal outfit, although a formal suit didn't do much for his size. Iceberg rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find a neat and tidy outfit to put on, while Frankie had an extra pair of cropped pants. They were waiting for the sailors who were with them to take Tom in.

There are still 20 minutes left until the court session.

"Mr. Tom, would you like to have a drink in the tavern when the trial is over?" Several tavernkeepers who knew Tom well shouted from the crowd of onlookers.

"Haha!! Be sure to go, be sure to go! Tom laughed.

Iceberg and Frankie looked at each other and smiled. As disciples, of course, they want Master to be happy, and even though Master Tom has made such an outstanding contribution to the water capital, there are still many residents who are alienated and suspicious of Master just because he is a fish man, and it is not uncommon for him to hurt people by exporting. The two of them knew that although Tom didn't talk about smiling all day, he would also feel uncomfortable in his heart.

On the tall building in the distance, Spandam peeked at the three masters and apprentices on the coastal dock with a telescope, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Tom the Boatsmith...... If you want to laugh now, you will feel what [despair] is in a few minutes!! Hey, haven't they set off yet? ”

Faced with Spendham's cross-examination, the CP5 members behind him whispered, "Sir, they have already set off. It takes about 2 minutes to reach the nearby sea. ”

"Excellent! I've already told them to shoot directly at the Judicial Ship when they arrive! It doesn't matter how many people die! And then blow up the stupid fishman and his two apprentices on the shore to me! To dare to be so disrespectful to me is to be disrespectful to the world government!! Hey, am I right!? ”

"Exactly." The CP5 member replied solemnly with his hands behind his back.

At this time, some residents shouted in confusion and horror: "What's that!?" Fleet?? ”

"Yes~~ Scared! Fear and loathe that Boatsmith Tom! After all, this is a ship built by his precious apprentice............ Well? The sinister smile on Spandham's face, holding the binoculars, froze.

Dozens of huge pirate ships appeared on the surface of the sea in the distance, marching in an orderly manner like a combined fleet, led by a skull with three iron plates painted on their chins hanging from their flagships.

"It's the 'Salt King'...... It's the 'Gustav fleet'!!! Some of the residents recognized the power that the flag represented and let out a desperate roar.

"'Gustav's fleet'...... Damn, how could it be ...... at this time" Spendham's legs were weak with fright, this was not in his plan! Subsequently, he was horrified to discover that the number of pirate ships in this fleet far exceeded the number of Gustav's fleet in the intelligence.

"Wait...... That flag is...... Steller Shark Pirates?? There are also the White Sox Pirates, the Pikmin Pickers, and the Hound Pirates............ Almost a third of the famous pirates in the first half of the Great Voyage appeared here!? Are they here to hunt me, the CP5 chief? Spandam threw away the binoculars, turned in horror and grabbed the CP5 member by the collar, yelling, "Hurry! Get me out of here! ”

"Sir, our ships are all parked near the harbor and are within range of their fire." The CP5 members were also scared and their legs weakened, a pirate coalition of this size had to be fed by the Navy Headquarters to send a fleet to resist, and their CP5 was simply at the level of filling in the gaps.

"Which is the closest naval base to here!? Tell them to come! Spendam suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Let them all go out, and ...... Let's just say that there are world nobles here who are besieged by pirates! ”

"The closest to this side is the G-3 base, which was almost wiped out in the 'Magic Valley Town Incident' half a month ago." The CP5 members looked desperate: "The culprit is none other than the 'Salt Flow King' gang!" ”

"They...... They planned everything. Spendham loosened the collar of the CP5 member and staggered to the ground: "Come prepared...... We're finished! This city of seven waters is completely finished! ”

On the dock on the shore, Tom frowned and looked at the pirate fleet on the distant sea that was constantly approaching the capital of the seven waters, and said in a deep voice: "Iceberg, Frankie, you hurry back to the studio to find Cocoro and take her to hide!" ”

"What about you, Mr. Tom? Don't do anything stupid! "Iceberg knows his master best, and he has vaguely guessed what Tom is going to do.

"I ...... I can't watch this city of seven waters be destroyed like this! Tom clenched his fists: "It's a ...... to save one You two get out of here! Take Cocolo to hide in the studio's cellar! ”

"Iceberg, go ahead." Frankie, who was covered in cold sweat, gritted his teeth and smiled: "I stayed to help Mr. Tom." Anyway, it's too late to drive my 'God of War Frankie', but I can fight too! ”

"You idiot!" Bingshan was just about to open his mouth to scold angrily, but he was suddenly stunned: "That's ...... Your wrecked ship? ”

Tom and Frankie turned their heads in surprise to find that not far from the other side of the sea, Frankie's beloved 35 'God of War Frankie' warships were heading towards the Judicial Ship.

The inhabitants of the shore also spotted the ships, and some of them were puzzled to realize that they seemed to be the beloved ships of Tom's second apprentice, Frankie.

On the ship, CP5 spy officers in black wetsuits are crouching and manipulating the rudder to prevent themselves from being discovered. But soon, they were unable to immerse themselves in the ideals of justice instilled in them by Spandam, as they spotted a fleet of pirates on the surface of the sea in the distance.

"I X...... What is that?? The spies looked at the pirate fleet that was far larger than their own side in dumbfounded, looked at each other tremblingly, and whispered, "...... The mission has been aborted, right? Don't annoy these pirates and turn around and head back to Shipwreck Island. ”

However, the rudder suddenly did not listen. The ship's cable slid quietly under the feet of the spy like a resuscitated python.

On a watchtower somewhere on the dock on the shore, Victor, who was wearing a black hat and a black felt hat, opened his right hand with his palm facing upwards and slightly spread his fingers, pointing at the fleet of Frankie, the god of war, who was motionless on the sea.

"Metal Zipper, Five-String Pipa, Puppet Ballad......" His fingertips seem to have countless invisible zippers, controlling the 35 Frankie warships like puppet puppets:

“…… Zashiki Maido!! ”

The hulls of these Frankie warships seem to have a vivid metal pulse, and each cable is like a ruthless python entwining and crushing those spies layer by layer.

The fleet of the god of war Frankie suddenly changed course and headed towards the pirate fleet in the distance! At the same time, at an angle that people could not see on the shore, a corpse in a black diving suit was quietly thrown on each ship, and the cause of their death was all bones, especially the neck bones, which were twisted and crushed alive by thick cables.

"Frankie's perverted dangerous ship...... Facing the pirate fleet? Or went to surrender? ”

The desperate residents could do nothing but ask Tom's apprentice on the shore for confirmation.

Tom and Iceberg quickly guessed the key, it was the government who stole Frankie's warship and wanted to attack the Judicial Ship to blame Tom. But why did they change their minds again? The master and apprentice looked confused, while Frankie looked like he wanted to say something.

"Well done! Frankie! At that moment, a huge flipper slapped Frankie's shoulder, and the latter looked up to see Snow in a lightning-patterned black yukata.

"Brother Haoxue......" Tom didn't know what to say at this time.

Haoxue smiled, and then said loudly: "Tom, according to your request, we arranged Frankie's warship nearby in advance to protect the judicial ship, and sure enough, those damn pirates have their eyes on the judicial ship!" And, as is the custom of Gustav's fleet, it is inevitable that this island will not be spared. We must fight! Otherwise, all that awaits us is a miserable death! ”

The surrounding residents looked suddenly enlightened. So, was it Mr. Tom's foresight that allowed his disciple Frankie to build these dangerous ships to defend the City of the Seven Waters? I really misunderstood them before!

"Mr. Haoxue, there are too many enemies! There aren't many defenses on the island, and we can't resist them! Iceberg couldn't help but retort.

"Don't worry, the numbers are for us...... It doesn't make sense! Hao Xue smiled grimly.

…………

"What's going on with those ships? Looking for death? "The 'Poppy' Guli, who was standing beside the 'King of Salt Streams' Gustav, said suspiciously: "Could it be the militia organization of the City of Seven Waters?" ”

"Who they are......" Gustav, the 'King of Salt Streams', licked the ice cream and said boredly: "After killing them, hurry away, and there is no momentum at all!" ”

"The Admiral has an order! All artillery ready! Flag slogan to inform ship No. 3 to ship No. 11, fire coverage! Pinker 'Nail' immediately commanded the other pirates: "Ready! Fire ——!! ”

At the same time, the Frankie fleet of the god of war also fired! How can the firepower that can take out the Sea Kings be weaker than that of ordinary pirate ships? The heavy artillery fire caught the pirate coalition by surprise!

The inhabitants of the shore and the navy could only pin their hopes on Frankie's fleet.

However, the wishes are beautiful, and the reality is cruel.

After all, the fleet of the god of war Frankie is an ultra-small one-man battleship, and no matter how fierce the firepower is, it cannot defeat those heavily armed pirate ships that are tens of meters or hundreds of meters away. In a short time, these one-man battleships were shattered by heavy artillery fire, and bursts of explosions sounded on the sea.

"What terrible firepower......" On the dock on the shore, even the Navy soldiers fell to their knees in despair.

"Wowha!! See! This is the 'Gustav fleet' that Lao Tzu is proud of! The invincible Gustav fleet!! ”

Gustav, the 'King of Salt Streams', let out a wanton laugh, grabbed the silver-haired and dark-skinned beauty Guli beside him, and rubbed his big hands on her body, causing a burst of coquettishness.

At this time, sporadic snowflakes fall from the sky.

"Huh? Where are the snowflakes without clouds? "Suspiciously, Pink reached out to catch a snowflake, and upon closer inspection, it was not a snowflake at all, but a gentle mass of mycelium.

"Not good! Admiral, is the one who is capable!! ”

At the same time, on a roof platform on the dock on the shore, Ma Xian, who was wearing a turban, closed his eyes tightly, sweated profusely, stretched his arms forward, and held his hands open and slightly clenched. Mai Hongji and Perona stood beside him, maintaining a protective posture.

On the watchtower, Victor, who had stopped manipulating the battleship, put his hands in his pockets and said to himself leisurely:

"Load the special heat-proof spore hyphae into those one-man battleships, and let those CP5s drive the ships from Shipwreck Island to my eyes. Then I will take over the control and put these ships in a posture of facing the enemy. Naturally, the enemy would blow these ships to pieces with heavy artillery fire......"

"The violent force of the explosion will blast those specially made spores into the sky, creating a 'fungus rain'. Although Matthew had only eaten the mushroom fruit for a short time, he was unable to manipulate the spores to fly directly from the shore to the distant enemy ship. But he can still do it just by spawning those spore hyphae in the distance......"

The snowflake-like spore mycelium landed on the deck of the pirate fleet and quickly rolled into the crevices, where they grew at an extreme speed under Matthew's control.

With the creaking sound of wooden planks cracking, clumps of mycelium grew on a large number of pirate ships, and many cannon muzzles were also firmly blocked by mycelium balls. Because the sails were also eroded by mycelium, more and more pirate ships slowed down until they fell behind.

And that's not even the most troublesome. Because of the small size of these 'mushrooms', some careless pirates even accidentally suck the mushroom rain into their noses and mouths, and then ...... It's a complete disaster!

"Bastard!! What the hell is the ability! "The 'Salt Flow King' was furious, and his body was covered with white grains, and then the whole person turned into a huge sea tide of salt, completely washing away the flagship 'Sea Salt' he was in from the inside out, clearing most of the mycelium. Then he did the same, cleaning the pirate ships of Gustav's fleet next to him. But there is nothing he can do about the ships that are further away.

In the end, only nineteen pirate ships survived and rushed out of the area of the 'fungus rain'. But even then, a lot of the guns on the surviving ships were temporarily unusable. Most of those cadres and pirate ship captains with extraordinary skills escaped to the pirate ships that were not affected in time, which was a blessing in misfortune for the Salt Stream King and the others.

Before officially engaging the enemy, it directly lost 1/3 of its combat power. This is a great shame that Gustav, the 'King of the Salt Streams', has never experienced since he went to sea.

"Give me orders! Everyone is ready to go ashore...... Don't let anyone go, kill them all!! Gustav's eyes were red and he gave a brutal 'slaughter order': "Whoever is doing the trouble, I want them all to die for me!! ”

On the watchtower on the shore, Victor, with his hands in his pockets, looked at the pirate fleet that was about to arrive on the shore and showed a smile:

"Come on, Pirate Alliance, let me see how many pounds and taels you have!"
