Chapter 23: The Doll Who Escapes War

"Chief, see clearly, it's the White Onyx, the one of the 'just Ellan'."

The crew member in charge of observing the target slid down the cable and reported what he had seen through the binoculars to Captain "Seawolf" Johnson, who was standing on deck.

"Good, a big fish."

Johnson chuckled, he didn't care about any justice or partiality, Erlan, he just wanted to make a fortune as quickly as possible and run away before the nearby Navy ships or Storm Church ships arrived.

As for the possible resistance of the other party, he did not pay attention to it, his pirate ship can reach a speed of 16 knots, which is much faster than the White Onyx, which is only a passenger ship, and there are 40 guns, if it is not for the robbery of as many passengers' gold pounds and jewels as possible, he can now cross the bow of the ship and send the other party to the bottom of the sea with a few volleys.

"Anderson, full speed ahead! When you get closer, you first bomb them to scare them, and then take the side, burn them all and grab them all! ”

He shouted back, eliciting a roar of excitement from the pirates on deck.

————

"According to the general practice, they will approach first, fire a salvo as a deterrent, most of the ships will surrender in this situation, and a small number of stubborn ones will have an artillery duel, but the result is the same, it will be posted, broadside, and then ...... It depends on the captain's style. ”

Standing by the window, Daniz "Blaze" carefully explained the common practice of pirates raiding ships.

"Captain's style?"

Angel asked curiously, as she had just glanced out the window at the pirate ship with Daniz's brass binoculars, barely making out the red skull flag hanging from the pirate ship a few nautical miles away, and the gradually thickening black smoke coming out of the chimney.

That means that the other party has burned the flame of the boiler to the maximum and is speeding up to catch up with the White Onyx.

"Most pirates will, at least on the surface, abide by the rules laid down by the 'King of the Five Seas', and will not kill people after the battle, but only rob valuable goods and passengers' cash and jewelry, but some outlaws don't care about this, and in order to kill their mouths, or simply vent their anger, they will drive all the survivors to the bottom warehouse after the raid, set a fire, and burn everything that cannot be taken away.

"It's a pity that Johnson, the 'Sea Wolf' of the Red Skull Pirates, falls into the latter category."

Daniz talked about the pirates and their captains, and soon even the bounties were revealed: 900 pounds for Captain Johnson and 500 pounds for First Mate "One-Eyed" Anderson.

Combined, it's not even half as big as Daniz "Blaze", but it also means that the contrast between their forces is just as stark - ranking pirates by bounty isn't entirely accurate, but most of them are not wrong.

Angel was able to incapacitate most ordinary pirates in a minute, while the captain and first mate, though extraordinary, could not even survive the fall of the other pirates under her and Crane's attacks.

The premise is that the broadside battle begins......

"What is your judgment on the outcome of the battle?"

Pinching the telescope "borrowed" from Daniz, Klein was silent for a moment and asked:

"The Red Skull's ship is faster, and the 'Just Ellan' is not one to run away, the two ships will engage in an artillery battle at a closer distance, and the outcome is difficult to predict. Maybe Johnson will feel that it will drag on for too long and will be easily surrounded by the navy and choose to give up, maybe the White Onyx will be caught up after being hit by a bullet and slowing down, and in a naval battle, anything is possible. ”

That is to say, the ship is likely to be shot, or even picked up, and enter the broadside battle, of course, the consequence of the broadside is a sequence 5, and a sequence 6 in turn kills the ship of the "Red Skull", but how many people will be killed and injured on the White Onyx before this?

Angel looked at Klein, who also looked back, and saw the helplessness of the lack of means of movement and long-range attack in the other party's eyes.

"So what are you worried about? They don't know that we're hiding on the ship, and they can solve most of the problems by waiting for the pirate ship to get close and find an opportunity to board the ship. ”

Daniz asked, puzzled, that some pirates would use this method to "fish" with other peers, and even take the men and boats together, which can be called a classic way of small and large.

"Will they be looking at the White Onyx with binoculars now?"

Crane asked suddenly.

"Of course, this is a basic literacy, see the lookout next to the pirate flag? There must have been lookouts standing there, looking over here with high-powered binoculars, observing the deployment on the deck. ”

Daniz was even more puzzled, and he replied, pointing out the window to the approaching pirate ship.

"So, do 'Seawolves' and 'One-Eyed' know you?"

Suddenly understanding Klein's thoughts, Angel also asked with a smile.

"Every ...... in this sea Most people know 'Blaze' Daniz, and the two on the other side have been taught a lesson by me at the grand meeting among pirates, and they will never forget me in their lives. ”

Daniz, who wanted to say, "Everyone knows me," looked at a man and a woman in front of him, but finally hesitated to change his words.

"That's good."

Angel and Crane smiled at the same time.

————

"The left rudder is full, and the starboard side is ready to fire!"

The captain of the "Red Skull", the Seawolf Johnson, took the helm with his own hands, directing the pirates to load their guns, ready to teach the White Onyx a lesson if it did not surrender, and the latter also struck the rudder to the left, revealing the neat row of guns on the port side.

Bite off more than one can chew......

He chuckled.

"Something is wrong, Captain."

"One-eyed" Anderson, who was holding a telescope and looking ahead, said suddenly, and he turned his head with doubts on his face.

"There was a man hanging from the side of the ship, with short blond hair, a bit like ...... Daniz? ”

"Which Daniz?"

Johnson asked subconsciously, and then reacted that the "Daniz" in the mouths of the two would only be one person.

He snatched the binoculars and looked at the White Onyx in the distance, and as both ships were in the shelling position, and the course was parallel, he quickly found the "hanging man" on the side side, the blonde man seemed to be bound by invisible silk threads, his hands clinging to his body, his feet kicking wildly, hanging from an open window.

Indeed, "Blaze" Daniz!

The memory of being taunted and beaten by the other party a few months ago came to mind, and Johnson almost wanted to shout and shoot the fourth boatswain under the "Lieutenant Admiral of the Iceberg", but his calmness and sanity stopped him.

If you can hang the "flame" with a bounty of 3,000 pounds on the side of the ship like this, what is the situation on the White Onyx?

In his mind, several people who were hostile to the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" and could easily deal with Daniz appeared in his mind, and they all had one thing in common - the hundreds of pirates on the "Red Skull" combined could not be provoked.

Pursing his lips, and finally taking a look at the prey that was close at hand, "Sea Wolf" Johnson raised his right hand and said:

"Left full rudder, disengage, leave this sea at full speed!"

————

"Danger lifted!"

Hearing the shouts of the sailors on the deck above, and seeing the "Red Skull" in the distance turn the bow of the ship and slowly leave with a thick smoke in tow, Daniz let out a sigh of relief.

An emotion welled up in his heart, not knowing whether it was humiliation or rejoicing.

But in the end, it all turned into a low roar:

"Shit, pull me up!"

He shouted to the window above, his voice muffled and panicked, not for fear of falling into the sea, but for fear of being heard by others.

The only witness, the Red Skull, is far away, and as long as I return to the cabin now, no one will know that I was so humiliated to hang outside, with a lump of ...... It's like a piece of bacon!

Sensing the invisible threads that were entwining around him being pulled upward, Daniz relaxed inside.

Suddenly, he sensed a gaze coming from him, and subconsciously looked over there.

Another window not far away was opened at some point, and a half-grown girl poked her head out, staring at her with puzzled eyes.

……

Manipulating the silk thread to fish Daniz back to the living room of room 312, Angel was surprised to find that the hero who scared away the "Red Skull" was sitting weakly by the window, looking at this side with a little resentment, a little helplessness, and even a little grievance.

With a bounty of £3,000, Daniz "Flame" has at least the strength of Sequence 7, how could he have been hung outside the window for less than half an hour, wilting like a dried quail?

"Huh."

Crane on the side even sneered, and the arrogant nature of the adventurer Gelman was exposed.

It was obvious that the shriveled Daniz was filled with air in an instant, and he jumped up from the floor, the bruises in his neck bulging, and he seemed to be about to have a seizure.

But in the end, he just said with a tense face:

"You are taking advantage of my captain's prestige, and she will not be indifferent."

"'Lieutenant Admiral Iceberg' Edwards, I remember she had a bounty of £26,000 on Rune alone," Klein said with an expressionless expression, as if he were talking about extraordinary material worth £260, "and you don't want your captain to know what's going on here, do you?" ”

If they were "Flower Bow Tie", "Gourmet", "Bucket" they knew that I was hanging from the cabin like a popular Byam shelter doll, my pirate...... No, the adventurer career is coming to an end......

Daniz suddenly found that all the people who knew about his scandal were in this living room, and if he wanted to keep the matter from getting out, he would probably have to put a little more thought into it......

As for the "Red Skull" pirate group, it is even more impossible to publicize the fact that people are scared away without firing a single shot.

The expression on his face changed, and finally he stopped at the smiling face that he forced out.

"I hope this thing will rot in this living room and not spread outside."

He said word by word, thinking that he had given enough sincerity in his expression and tone.

"It's up to you to behave."

The stunningly beautiful woman chuckled, a demonic smile in Daniz's eyes.

Jingle Bell –

The doorbell was ringed, and several people turned their eyes to the door, and in order to show "sincerity", Daniz left from the window and took the initiative to open the door, not to mention, this room 312 was originally his room.

So, how did these two occupy my living room and sofa like their master, while I helped them open the door like a servant?

Thinking of this, Daniz stepped heavily on the carpet as if venting, and reached out to open the door.

The girl who was watching him from the window just now stood at the door, with an expression of "sure enough" on her face.
