Chapter 493: The History of the Struggle of the Ninja Realm Pirates
Pirate World, Great Voyage Paradise, Windless Edge.
A mixed fleet of ironclad ships and paddle engines lurked in a thick fog, quietly waiting for the order to set out to plunder.
As dusk approached, an unflagged speedboat approached the edge of the mist, and a ninja wearing an old-fashioned forehead guard expertly whistled and after receiving a response from within the mist, leapt into the water.
This is the last blood of the Fog Hidden Ninja Village, and it is also the last relic of the era of the five great ninja villages in the ninja world - the Fog Hidden Death Hardcore Ninja led by Loquat Shizang to cross the sea to the east.
In the traditional geographical perception of ninjas, whether you set sail from the extreme west of the Land of the Original Wind or cross east from the Land of Water, you will end up in a lifeless, extremely barren and barbaric land.
In Loquat Shizang's initial idea, he actually just planned to lead his troops east to the periphery of the Wild Land, relying on the power of ninjas to establish a series of strongholds on the edge of the Wild Continent, and use this as a base to wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven.
On the third day of sailing, the Fog Hidden Fleet was hit by a violent hurricane that the Fog Hidden Ninjas had never seen in their lives, and the fleet's Ataka ships were basically lost, except for the six ironclad ships purchased from the shogunate at that time, which were unharmed, and nearly half of the imitation paddle engine sailing ships in the fleet were lost.
And all kinds of consumables and supplies that Loquat Shizang specially looted in order to build the base naturally sank into the sea.
But just when the fog ninja fell into despair, he found that there was no endless way.
They seemed to have arrived at a sea that they had never seen before, and it was extremely rich.
Even the ninjas of the Archipelago Nation have never seen the deck full of fish that have been swept ashore by the waves after a storm.
Although the hurricane completely deviated and all navigation methods were completely out of order, Loquat Shizo was still full of apprehension in his heart, and on the surface he enthusiastically announced to all the Fog Ninjas: They have arrived at the promised land of the Fog Ninja - although they have not yet found land!
Subsequently, he continued to get lost and drifted on the sea, and even occasionally encountered a merchant fleet after sailing for more than a month.
And the fog ninjas, who were already full of anger because they had eaten too much fish, swarmed up and ransacked this merchant fleet.
And Loquat Shizang also found something wrong from the captive's appearance and language, and after torture the ninja to obtain the captive's memories through spiritual secret techniques, Loquat Shizang found that he had unknowingly run to another world!
Then there was another incident caused by the leakage of this news, such as infighting among the Fog Hidden Ninjas, and even the quarrel about breaking up.
But this time, Loquat Shizang no longer left his hands behind, but slaughtered all the opposition who tried to intensify the contradictions to achieve his own goals with an iron fist, and called himself the 'Water Shadow of Blood Mist' in a pool of blood.
The Fog Hidden Ninja, who had already worshiped the strong to the extreme, no one dared to challenge the status of Loquat Shizang again.
The 3,000-strong Fog Hidden Ninja Army at the time of departure was only about 2,000 people left after the hurricane and the civil war.
Despite the loss of power, the Misty Ninjas, who had been reunited by the bloody slaughter, regained their apparent unity, and began the 'primordial accumulation phase' of looting caravans and capturing cities in this rich new world.
But after enough arrogance had been developed in the battle with the kingdom armies of the allied countries, the Mist Ninjas began to be hit head-on - the World Government Navy began to organize forces to encircle and suppress this ruthless pirate group of unknown origin!
After many encounters, although the Fog Ninja did not suffer much damage with the performance of the ship and good water quality, all the looted property was 'seized' by the navy, and even the newly established base was destroyed, and the Fog Ninja returned to the state of drifting and robbing at sea again.
However, although the loquat Shizo was not discouraged by the defeat of the stubborn people, after holding a meeting with the upper ninjas to discuss countermeasures, he began to learn from his 'peers' in this world, and completely became a pirate group with a secret base but the main force cruising and robbing the sea all year round.
Although the pirates of about 2,000 people may not be anything in the second half of the new world, they can already be regarded as a large pirate group in the first half of the great voyage, and the fog hidden ninjas are already bloodthirsty and warlike, so they are also very popular.
It's just that the opportunity to counterattack the Ninja World Continent has been completely lost.
And this time, the Fog Hidden Pirates, under the leadership of Loquat Shizang, are preparing to ambush a fleet of ships transporting 'Heavenly Gold' from all the allied countries on the Great Shipping Route!
"Four generations of adults!"
After boarding an ironclad ship from the mist, the Fog Hidden Recon Ninja immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted Loquat Juzo standing at the bow of the ship.
"Has the voyage of those belly ships been determined?"
Loquat Shizo asked.
"It's confirmed, and we'll be in the nearby sea in about an hour!"
The Fog Hidden Recon Ninja immediately reported.
"Good!"
Loquat Shizang nodded with great satisfaction, and then ordered: "Inform down, prepare to pull the net!" β
"The defense detachment prepares the Fog Concealment Technique to block the sea area!"
"Start the boiler, add fuel to the fire!"
"Prepare for war! Wake up the slackers who are still sleeping! β
With the order given, the originally dead and silent fleet suddenly became lively, and the fog ninjas who were originally lazily lying on their stomachs began to work lazily under the urging of their respective upper ninjas.
Although the Fog Hidden Ninjas are still ferocious, their discipline has still dropped a lot compared to the Ninja Village era!
But this is also something that can't be helped, after all, everyone knows the current situation, not to mention the counterattack on the ninja world, and even the way home doesn't know where it is, and these fog ninjas who are gradually losing their goals are addicted to bloody killings all day long, and they are not interested in other things, if it weren't for the strength of the ninjas, coupled with the deterrence of loquat Shizang, it is estimated that this fleet would have been scattered long ago.
Loquat Shizang naturally understood this truth, but he couldn't help it.
The last time he suppressed civil strife, he decisively wielded his beheading knife and wiped out all the opposition, but now he is a lazy fleet from top to bottom, and he can't slaughter the entire fleet!
Of course, he also understands the reason why the Fog Hidden Ninjas are so lazy - it is nothing more than that they do not have a solid base, so they have no sense of purpose and lose the motivation to struggle!
Moreover, due to their natural distrust of the natives of this world, the Ninja of the Mist has not recruited even a single new person in this world so far; Therefore, if it continues to develop like this, the Fog Hidden Blood Mist Sect, which has no way to obtain personnel replenishment, will only gradually disappear over time in the uninterrupted battle damage.
And this is also something that Loquat Shizo can't tolerate - after all, he is now the man who calls himself Mizukage!
But not long ago, he was inspired by an unexpected piece of information: the World Government had recognized the status of a large group of pirates as part of the New World, and had granted them the title of 'The Seven Martial Seas', allowing them to divide a sea area and do their own thing!
So Loquat Shizang had an idea and came up with a brilliant idea: to intercept the Great Route and rob all the fleets that tried to transport the 'Heavenly Gold', so as to create pressure on the world government and force it to recognize its own status!
Although this forced recognition is not secure, and the World Government will not hesitate to destroy these large pirates if they have the opportunity, it does not prevent the status and opportunity it brings - to build a sustainable base and let the ninjas under its command find their purpose again!
As for the so-called 'Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty', it is a matter located on the other side of the Red Earth Continent, but so what?
Loquat Shizang thinks that as long as he makes enough moves and shows enough strength, maybe the ninja government will also make a similar 'treatment' in the paradise according to the gourd~
Even if you can't get a separate claim, but become the only 'Eighth Martial Sea' in Paradise, it's not unacceptable to be the Loquat Ten Collections!
As the ship activated its crew, the huge ironclad began to slowly sail out of the hidden sea, heading to the preset battlefield under the cover of the fog concealment of the ninjas' fog concealment.
The use of the Fog Concealment Technique and the appropriate Light and Shadow Illusion as a means of concealing their whereabouts is also the result of the 'battle of wits and courage' between the Fog Hidden Ninjas and those cunning merchant ships and navies in this world, and the results have been remarkable and fruitful so far.
"When the time comes, we must build a shipyard, and we must imitate such an ironclad ship!"
Loquat Shizo said to his upper ninja: "Today's paddle turbine sailboats are still not very useful! β
ββ¦β¦ After all, it is necessary to rebuild the Fog Hidden Ninja Village, otherwise everything will be empty talk. β
His subordinate Mitsusuke Goto sighed, "We need enough ingots, we need a lot of technicians, we need a large dock...... Without that, it would be nice to be able to build a paddle turbine sailboat. β
"And today's secret base is at most a place to hide belongings and make supplies, which is not enough for everyone to have a sense of belonging......"
"Everything will be fine!"
Loquat Shizo said solemnly: "As long as we gain fame and get rid of the entanglement of the navy, then it will definitely not be difficult to establish a ninja village!" β
"After all, we came close to success last time......"
Mitsusuke Goto couldn't help but nod.
Loquat Shizo no longer spoke, but silently watched the fog ninjas although they looked numb but neatly maneuvered the boat, and their eyes began to redden, revealing an eerie inhuman murderous aura.
This kind of temperament, Loquat Shizang has only seen in the fog and darkness in the pastβthis is the most typical killing machine!
The performance of the Mist Ninjas also reflects the widespread psychological problem - they are no longer interested in other things other than the excitement of wandering between life and death when killing.
That's why Loquat Shizo came up with this seemingly absurd plan to force the world government to make concessions and get the opportunity to build a ninja village.
Moreover, Loquat Shizo has all thought about it, and if he can, he is even willing to make Shinkigaku a sword of the world government - just like the relationship between the ninja village and the daimyo in the ninja world.
Just when the loquat Shizang was thinking wildly, time passed quickly.
But almost half an hour after the arrival of the flotilla exceeded expectations, there was still no sign of the sails on the sea level!
This is, the fog hidden fleet began to have some commotion, and even the fear of loquat Shizang was a little unbearable.
ββ¦β¦ Send out the osprey psychic beast and follow the course to see what the hell is going on! β
Loquat Shizang also didn't care about the risk of revealing his whereabouts, and immediately ordered: "In addition, the fleet is ready to pursue the boiler with full power!" β
"Yes!"
Mitsusuke Goto immediately rushed forward to deploy the mission.
Subsequently, several ospreys were released by the Mist Ninja to scout along the route of the fleet as revealed by intelligence.
And the fleet, having completed the pressurization of the boilers, once again fell into a dead silence.
"Four generations of adults!"
After more than ten minutes, the Fog Hidden Ninja who released the psychic beast hurried over and knelt on the ground to report: "The trail of the treasure ship fleet has been found ahead!" β
"Then let's take the initiative!"
Loquat Shizang made a decision immediately.
ββ¦β¦ It's just that they seem to be confronting a group of creatures that resemble giant frogs. β
The Mist Ninja whispered.
"Giant frogs?"
Loquat Shizang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Is it a special race similar to a fish-man or merfolk?" β
"Not really...... It looked like the frogs were dressed like ninjas. β
The Fog Hidden Ninja's voice was even quieter.
He also knew that there was a high probability that such an intelligence report would be questioned by Mizukage-sama, after all, where did the ninjas come from in this strange world?
"Giant Frog ......"
Loquat Shizang's face suddenly sank.
He thought of the legendary holy place of Myogi Mountain......
However, if it is really that group of aliens, how did they get to this strange world?
Moreover, as a holy land psychic beast, why would it confront the humans of this world?
Loquat Shizang has 100,000 whys in his mind.
But the Mist Ninja has a common characteristic, that is, don't think about things you can't figure out, and do it first!
"Leave them alone!"
Loquat Shizang gritted his teeth and made his own decision: "Osprey navigation, full horsepower!" β
"Let's take the initiative!"
Randomly, the Fog Hidden Fleet cheers thunder!
"Prepare the main gun!"
"Cannonball loading!"
"The Cluster Detonator Launcher is ready to fire!"
With the sound of a terrible whistle, the Fog Hidden Fleet sailed out of the fog ambush area, and at the same time, the various weapons on board were also ready to be fired.
Although these weapons belong to the original products of the shogunate, and due to the lack of some maintenance parts, their power has been reduced after the 'applicability modification' of the Mist Hidden Ninja, but in this world, they can still be regarded as extremely powerful naval combat weapons.
"In the future, when the village is established, we must vigorously build gunboats!"
Loquat Shizang calmed down, slowly untied the beheading knife from his back, and was also ready to engage in battle. (End of chapter)
