Chapter 24: Crossfire? Click's all-or-nothing bet

Navy and pirates?

David Jones' gray-blue eyes looked out to sea, and as the five ships got closer, the pirate flags and naval flags on the masts became more visible.

The Pirate Flag is a white skull on a black background, with an hourglass pattern next to the white skull.

The navy flag is a blue seagull on a white background.

Chloe and Yarrita silently waited for his next instructions.

"Arrita." He commanded, "Call Bucky out." ”

"Yes." Arrita didn't ask why, just pressed her white wide-brimmed hat, nodded in response, and walked to the cabin.

After a while, she led a nervous Bucky to the deck.

"Captain, you call me?" Bucky asked curiously, startled when he noticed the Navy warships and pirate ships on the surface of the sea out of the corner of his eye, "Navy? And pirates? Captain, are we going to war? ”

David Jones nodded, tentacles writhing: "Take a look first, and if you have the chance, you might as well test the power of the bucky bomb." ”

Speaking of the shells he had developed, Bucky was immediately excited.

He agreed, first bringing in a bucky bomb and stuffing it into the cannon that emerged from the Terror Spectre.

At the moment Bucky has made only 4 such shells.

According to the contract, even if the cannonballs used are acceptable, as long as the power is acceptable, they are counted among the 100 cannonballs made for David Jones, so Bucky has no pressure to use it.

As the cannonball rolled to its end, Bucky repositioned the cannon and aimed it in the direction of the Navy warship and pirate ship.

-----------------

On the flagships of the three naval warships, stood a man in a navy cap, with a long scar on the right side of his face, and a rebellious smile always on his lips.

This person is the captain of the Navy Headquarters - "Iron Fist" Hepodi.

Don't look at his military rank as just "captain", his real power is several levels higher than that of the captain of the naval branch, so he can also command three naval warships to pursue the remnants of the pirates in front of him.

And the pirates he is chasing are none other than the famous "Admiral" Klick and his gang in the East China Sea!

It is said that Klick has a total of 50 ships and a large number of subordinates, claiming to have as many as 5,000 men, but he has always been entrenched in the East China Sea and has never set foot on the great voyage.

A few days ago, Hepodi unexpectedly encountered the Creek Pirates with only 3 ships left near the entrance and exit of the Great Passage.

He immediately guessed that the Klick Pirates must have been trying their best to challenge the Great Voyage, and encountered some strong enemy, causing the 50 ships to be reduced to only 3, and finally fled back to the East China Sea in a hurry.

For Hebodi, who works in the Navy Headquarters, he has seen a lot of this kind of pirate who does not know the height of the sky.

At the same time, he also smelled an opportunity.

This is the perfect time to defeat the Klick Pirates and capture Crick "Admiral" Klick, and if successful, this feat will be enough to take him one step further!

As a result, Hepodi immediately transferred three naval warships and carried out an endless pursuit of the three dilapidated pirate ships of the Klick Pirates!

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

The number of ships seems to be equal, but the naval warships are much stronger than those ships of the Creek Pirates.

Not to mention that the Klick Pirates are now almost out of ammunition and morale.

Soon, one of the Klick Pirates' ships was sunk by a warship.

The other two pirate ships ran away without looking back.

This made Hepoti even more ecstatic, believing that as long as the pursuit continued, it was only a matter of time before he achieved complete victory.

How will the newspapers publish his heroic deeds?

"The naval hero who defeated 'Admiral' Creek alone!!"

The more Hepodi imagined, the more excited he rubbed the finger tiger in his hand, and commanded the navy soldiers to continue the pursuit, demanding that they must catch up.

And under the pursuit of the three naval warships, the only two pirate ships left by the Klick Pirates maintained a formation one after the other, and did not dare to dock in the port for replenishment.

They had to flee all the way without stopping.

At this moment, on the front of the pirate ship, a group of pirates sat cross-legged on the deck, and the atmosphere was gloomy and depressing.

"Admiral" Klick, dressed in golden armor, sat on a chair not far away and said nothing.

He listened to the occasional shelling of naval warships behind him, his eyes narrowed, and he glanced at the frustrated faces of his subordinates.

After only 7 days on the Great Voyage, they fled back to the East China Sea in embarrassment, and the originally powerful pirate fleet now had only two pirate ships left.

Among his capable cadres, only the captain Ah Jin and the captain of the second team, Balu, survived, and the rest of the captains were all buried at the bottom of the sea.

All the nightmares originated from the man I met on the 7th day.

Click touched his forehead, feeling unhappy in his heart, and the frustration that he could not win even by all kinds of vile means made him doubt himself.

Incomprehensible.

Why can the other side destroy most of my fleet with just one person?

It's really incomprehensible.

Now, the Klick Pirates have been reduced to being chased by three Navy warships.

In other words, in the past, as long as they set up 50 ships, where would a naval fleet dare to catch up?

"Damn!" Balu was wearing two pieces of metal plate armor that sandwiched him between like sandwich biscuits, and he stood up, "Captain, let's turn back and shoot back!" How can we let that navy ride on top of us? ”

Ah Jin, who wore a striped hood, immediately retorted:

"Fight back? How to fight back? Our ammunition has been exhausted against the man on the great voyage. Not to mention the ammunition, we will soon run out of food and fresh water, and in a few days, we will be starving! ”

"Then pretend to surrender, and then forcibly board the ship and engage in hand-to-hand combat!"

"Do you think Navy warships will let our pirate ships get closer? They know our style well and won't trust us anymore! ”

"Are we going to swallow our anger like this?" Balu was indignant, "Our Klick Pirates, who have been galloping in the East China Sea for so many years, when have we ever suffered this kind of?" ”

Ah Jin shook his head: "All in all, it is impossible to fight back, and at present, the only way to get rid of the navy is to go!" ”

"How? They're in hot pursuit! If we don't turn back while we still have the strength, when will we wait? Shoot back, and then snatch their warship, that's the only way to survive! ”

Unexpectedly, the chief captain and the second captain quarreled, and the pirates were silent and did not dare to express their opinions.

"Enough!" Crick let out a loud shout.

Seeing Klick's angry expression, Ah Jin and Balu looked at each other, but they had no choice but to put down the argument and retreat to both sides.

Click actually understands that both Ajin and Balu's words make sense, and their current situation forces them to choose one of the two in this way, and choosing the wrong route is a disaster.

This made Klick, who had once been ambitious to conquer the great voyage, even more humiliated.

And at this moment, it was as if the heavens had heard what he was thinking, and gave him new hope.

"Captain!" The pirate in charge of the lookout ran over, "A black ship was found ahead, without any flags. ”

Klick was silent for a while, and his tall body stood up from his chair: "Give me the binoculars." ”

"Yes, Captain!"

After taking the binoculars, Klick took a closer look at the black ship in front of him, and indeed he didn't see any iconic flags, and he didn't even see a few crew members.

Through the binoculars, he saw only a dark-haired woman in the bow of the ship.

Neither a pirate ship nor a naval warship, and at the same time carrying a beautiful woman.

Could it be a cargo ship or a passenger ship?

A glimmer of hope ignited in Klick's heart.

Maybe the ship had enough supplies to keep them sailing, or even to fight back against the entangled navy?

After a short thought, Click made his decision.

"Ah Jin!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"You go to the ship in the back and be responsible for delaying the three Navy warships for a while."

The pirates were taken aback when they heard this.

After letting the captain lead a ship to break, what is the difference between this and sending it to death?

There was also consternation in Akin's dark-eyed eyes, but he quickly responded because of his loyalty to Klick.

"Yes, Captain, I promise to complete the mission!"

After Ah Jin finished speaking, he walked to the stern of the ship, followed the rope, and swung to the pirate ship behind him, directing the battle.

Balu then approached Crick's side.

"Captain, are we trying to escape?"

"Hmph. Who do you think I am? Klick sneered and pointed to the black ship in front of him, "Pull over the boat and take advantage of Akin's delay to grab as many supplies as possible." If there is ammunition, we have the capital to fight back. ”

Only then did Balu understand Klick's thoughts, and he immediately smiled.

"Yes, Captain!" Balu turned around and shouted, "Did you all hear the captain's orders?" Cheer up and get ready to board the ship and rob! That's what we do! ”
