Chapter 68: The Riddler Gets Out of the Gospel
The old man's shout attracted the attention of the three Orn.
"What Mysterio? Is this guy famous? ”
Before a new round of shelling hit, Orn hurriedly asked the bearded old man about the "mystery man".
The mustache hid behind a large wooden barrel, exposed half of his head, and cautiously spoke:
"Mysterio is an unknown powerhouse who suddenly appeared in the Western Sea in the past six months, and no one knows whether he is a navy, a pirate or a bounty hunter, nor does he know what he looks like, whether he is male or female.
I only know that this guy will launch an artillery attack on the pirate ship he is targeting from a distance that even binoculars can't see.
Moreover, Mysterio's bombardment will not stop once it is launched, even if everyone on the ship kneels and begs for mercy, until the ship is completely sunk.
In the past six months, several well-known pirate groups in the West Sea have been targeted by him.
None of these targeted pirates were spared, and the captains were all blown to pieces, leaving only the lucky minions to drift to the nearby shore on the broken wooden planks and spread the prestige of Mysterio! ”
"But here's the thing...... Our ship doesn't have a pirate flag yet, right? ”
Orn's words almost burned the mustache's CPU, and he was stunned for a long time before he could speak.
Instead, Orn looked interested when he asked the question.
It's just that before he could make further inferences in his heart, Yamato launched an early warning again:
"This time five shells flew over, one of them will not hit our ship, and the remaining four will fall on the ship."
Yamato tried to continue to intercept the shells, but before she could make a move, Orn grabbed her wrist and stopped her:
"Leave the defense to me and Rhea, you are the only one on the ship who can judge the exact location of the shells by seeing and smelling, if you can't use the sight and smell color because of seasickness, we are really finished."
As he spoke, Orn focused on observing the shelling that might fall at any time, and at the same time ripped off the Lion King, who was used to prevent injuries during practice, and threw it to Rhea:
"I'm in charge of defending the first half of the ship, you go and take care of the second half, you must be careful not to let that guy sink the ship!"
"Understood!"
Rhea answered, then tied up the Lion King and hurried towards the stern of the ship.
Rumble!
The first shell flew first, and instead of hitting the Gospel, it slammed into the sea a few meters away from the bow of the ship, setting off a wave large enough to obscure the view of everyone on board.
Immediately after, four shells pierced through the water curtain formed by the huge waves and struck in the bow and stern directions of the ship.
Orn's reaction was quick, almost as soon as the cannonball pierced through the water curtain, first detonating one cannonball in advance with a magma ball, and then reaching out for a hammer and smashing another one directly at him.
However, Rhea's side did not go so well, although the Lion King could enhance his speed, but due to the lack of long-range offensive means, she could only intercept one of the two shells with different landing points, and as for the other shell, she could only make it deviate from the direction of flight as much as possible without causing too much damage to the hull.
Rumble!
The deflected cannonball eventually landed on one of the ship's masts, breaking the mast and blackening the surrounding decks.
Seeing that the auxiliary mast was blown off, Rhea blamed himself and was annoyed, and couldn't help but suggest:
"No, Captain, it's not the way to go on like this! We've got to get that bastard out. ”
"It's easy to say, but now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and he should only be one person, if we want to escape, we can't catch up with him anyway." Orn raised his hand for Rhea to calm down.
"Then what are we going to do, do we just stop where we are and be a live target?"
Laugh at~
Almost as Rhea's words fell, the sound of pouring a scoop of cold water on hot steel suddenly sounded, followed by a large cloud of mist that covered the entire Gospel.
Under Rhea's surprised gaze, Orn withdrew his arm that stretched out to the sea, which still had magma left at this time, and turned his head to show a big smile at Rhea:
"Since the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, let's let everyone be in the dark!"
Leia was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but pat his thigh:
"That's right, in that case, that bastard won't be able to determine our location, and naturally he won't be able to continue firing!"
As he spoke, Rhea took the initiative to run to the position of the rudder, and steered the ship to change position in the dense fog.
"Captain, what are we going to do next? Just leave, or find a way to catch him? ”
Rhea was not a willing loser, and after waiting for a moment, her heart immediately lit up when she saw that the other party seemed to have really stopped shelling because of the obstruction of her vision.
Contrary to Rhea and Yamato's expectations, Orn did not choose between going or staying, but opened his mouth in a different way:
"Stay where you are and wait and see...... I have one more thing I'd like to confirm. ”
"What's the matter?" The two asked curiously.
Orn sold off, and instead of answering the two of them directly, he quietly waited for the fog to fade.
The thick fog thinned out under the effect of the sea breeze, but Orn still didn't see the expected cannonball coming.
Just when he thought he had guessed wrong, he suddenly heard Yamato beside him shout excitedly:
"There are boats! I could sense a small boat approaching us! ”
Hearing this, Ray Adam immediately took out his binoculars, and observed with a curse in his mouth where the Divine was sitting on the small boat, while Orn stood at the bow of the ship, and only said aloud when the distance between the two sides was only about 100 meters:
"I thought you'd have another round of attacks to test when the fog clears."
A moment later, a hoarse and low male voice came from the opposite side:
"No, you are indeed more powerful than all the pirates I have encountered in the Western Sea, and ...... My shells are expensive. ”
As he spoke, the man jumped onto the deck of the Gospel, allowing Orn and the others to see him clearly.
He was a tough-guy man with a bushy beard, about thirty years old, wearing a special sniper goggle on his right eye, and a swarthy cannon on his right hand.
Orn looked at the man who had jumped onto the deck and asked the final question:
"When did you know I was the Orn on the bounty order?"
The man replied lightly:
"About half a month ago...... It's also a coincidence, if it weren't for the battle between you and that Lao Cai of the Eight Treasure Water Army, I really wouldn't have imagined that Orn, who could create a record of 70 million Baileys in the West Sea, would be so young. ”
"Have you waited for half a month to find a chance to test my strength? Looks like you take me seriously. Orn said with a smile.
Rhea and Yamato on the side were full of question marks at this time, and they almost didn't write the words "Riddler Get Out of the Gospel" on their faces......
