Chapter 48: The Battle in Front of the Upside-Down Mountain
When the distant skyline appears hazy white, the majestic red earth continent can be seen through the white fog dissipated in front of the dark and tattered horror ghost ship.
The Red Earth Continent is stacked with brick-red rock formations, and the steep cliffs are like a terrible dam falling from the sky, blocking most of the ocean currents from the East China Sea.
Arrita yawned, clicked the monoculars section by section, and peered ahead through the magnified, slightly blurred edges.
After a while, her eyes widened.
"Captain!" She turned her head and ran to the door of David Jones's room, and knocked on the door a little bewildered, "I saw the Navy flag, rows of warships, just in front!" ”
Arrita's knocking and shouting woke up the others in the cabin.
Bucky and Octopus Hachi both opened the door and walked into the narrow hallway, while Chloe only appeared after meticulously smearing her hair with a shiny finish.
"Navy?" Bucky puffed up his red nose, and the clown's face was filled with panic, "I know, I know." Big trouble. ”
As if he were a little unwilling, he hurried past Yarrita's side and went to the bow of the ship to find out.
Octopus Hachi-roku's arms with suction cups were hugged in pairs, with a somewhat confused expression: "What's the trouble with this?" We jumped into the water together, swam to the bottom of the sea, and they couldn't help us! ”
Arrita rolled her eyes at the octopus Hachi, raised her hand and was about to continue knocking on the door when the door creaked open.
David Jones, dressed in long boots, walked out of the room, still smelling of tobacco.
"Already near the Upside Down Mountain of the Red Earth?" David Jones looked down at Yarrita, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he walked out of the cabin, "I'll see how many navies are coming." ”
The mysterious "dragon" gave him early warning, so he stood at the bow of the ship and inspected the situation with a telescope, and there was not much surprise.
Bucky was pacing back and forth on the side of the ship, and when he saw David Jones appear, he walked over and spread his hands: "Captain, let's turn around, find an island first, live for a few months, and then enter the great voyage?" ”
David Jones looked at him with gray-blue eyes, and then said in a loud voice, "Get the boat over." I don't want it in a few days, not a few months, and I'm going to enter the Great Voyage today. If they have the ability, they can stop me. ”
Bucky was stunned, his mouth half open, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Raise the flag and sail."
"Yes, Captain." Yarrita, Chloe, and Octopus Hachi all responded.
In a few moments, the pirate flag with a black background fluttered between the black sails, dancing its tentacles like a living monster.
Bucky was so anxious that he put his head in his hands, and then he looked in the direction of the upside-down mountain, and from such a distance, he could see a dense group of warships waiting for them.
It was like a bolt of lightning that sent him back to more than twenty years ago when he was a trainee pirate.
The pirate ship he was on was also facing a whole fleet in this way, and the captain decided to go to war without hesitation, but now that the time, place, and characters have changed, there is a strange sense of déjà vu.
How could I be so unlucky to run into such an unreliable captain wherever I went?
Bucky really wanted to shout at the sky at this moment, but he had to face the reality, and if he didn't want to die, he was ready to use his own cannon.

"Colonel Smoker!" Dusty stepped on the cracked stone steps and quickly climbed to the makeshift command platform of Upside Down Mountain, "It seems that there is a situation. ”
Smoker, who was biting two cigars, stopped the "smoke friend exchange" with Tina, who was holding a cigarette, frowned, and turned to look at the panting Dusty who ran in front of him.
"Don't panic." Smoker took off his cigar, "What's the situation?" ”
"There was a sudden fog at sea and it was coming in our direction, and it seemed that a ship was sailing in the sea fog. Colonel, you see. Dusty handed the telescope to Smoker.
Smoker looked condescendingly at the sea through the telescope, and sure enough, he saw a black silhouette faintly visible under a strange white mist.
He chuckled in his heart and put down his binoculars: "After three days and three nights, I finally waited for them." ”
"Are you sure it's Davy Jones and his gang?" Tina crushed the cigarette against the wall, "Make no mistake. Tina felt the need to be cautious. ”
"I think it's eighty percent of them, it's normal for the sea to fog, but it's not normal to move at such a fast speed in our direction."
Smoker is a "smoke expert" and knows all too well about it.
"Not to mention, we have been announcing the implementation of control in this area since a week ago, and normal ships know that they have to register in Rogue Town first, how can any ship come from the direction of Rogue Town?"
Smoker handed the binoculars to Tina for her to confirm for herself, and then he looked at Dusty, "Have you contacted Lieutenant General Karp?" Where is he now? ”
"I just contacted and said that I had arrived in Rogue Town a quarter of an hour ago, and after some supplies, I would be able to come here soon." Dusty lifted his glasses.
"'Soon'?" Smoker narrowed his eyes, "The day before yesterday they said they would arrive soon, yesterday they said they would arrive soon, and today they said they would arrive soon, when will they arrive?" ”
Dusty said cautiously, "It was said that Lieutenant General Karp helped a few villages and towns on the way, destroyed a pirate lair, and encountered a storm, so it was delayed for a while. ”
"What now?" Tina put down her binoculars, "When Lieutenant General Karp arrives, David Jones and his gang will be flying up the Upside-Down Mountain right under Tina's nose." ”
"Directly start the extermination plan." Smoker grimaced.
"Are you crazy?" Tina's eyes widened, "Lieutenant General Karp is in Rogue Town, you want to overstep your authority?" Aren't you afraid that the Navy Headquarters will trouble you afterwards? ”
"Hmph." Smoker scoffed at the "Navy Headquarters", but had respect for Vice Admiral Karp, "You guys do it first, I will apply to Vice Admiral Karp, and both sides will do it at the same time." ”
"Tina understands." Tina combed her long pink hair with her hand and strode away.
Smoker pointed at Dusty again: "Continue to contact Lieutenant General Karp, report the situation here to Lieutenant General Karp, explain that the situation is urgent, I need temporary command, and immediately command the operation." ”
"Yes! Captain! Dusty took the order and hurried to the liaison room.
Smack.
Suddenly, a bean-sized raindrop fell on Smoker's face, and he wiped it, then looked towards the sky.
The dark clouds rolled in like stormy waves, and the raindrops slowly turned into silk threads, connecting the sky and the sea, and the storm suddenly rose, shaking the waves towards the red earth continent.
In the midst of the fierce wind, the rain gradually turned heavier, and a black ship pierced through the sea fog like a sharp blade, completely exposed to the navy's field of vision.
Its tattered sails and hull were patched, and a never-before-seen pirate flag fluttered in the wind, exuding an unusually ominous aura.
"Here we are." Smoker stared at it, then poked his head back out to look out into the ocean.
At the bottom of the fork in the inverted East Sea, the navy warships spread out in the shape of trumpets and then dropped barrels into the sea.
The barrels, which were connected by iron cables every five, drifted along the current to the upside-down mountain to the fork in the road, where they were stopped by a pre-built iron fence that blocked a large area of the sea in front of the entrance.
The black ship sailed in front of it in the blink of an eye, and the warship came from the left and right sides, approaching and firing at the same time!
Bang bang bang –
The sound of artillery fire was intensive, and the cannonballs whistled and fired at the black ship, but the black ship was stunned to shuttle in a serpentine shape between the cracks of the shell landing points under such crossfire!
"Hell ......"
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Smoker couldn't have imagined how such a heavy ship could make a trajectory that looked like a dancer dancing on the tip of a knife.
It was because of the previous intelligence that he came up with such an attack formation, but he didn't expect that even so, he would not be able to hit the black ship smoothly.
It's so flexible, it's so flexible!
At this time, rows of cannon muzzles stretched out from the left and right sides of the black ship, and all eight bucky bombs that Bucky had made so far were fired!
Boom Boom Boom –
The eight pillars of light were a testament to the power of the Bucky bullets, and with their bows firing left and right, they pierced the waves and destroyed eleven warships that could not dodge with terrifying bursts of fire!
