It was already dawn. Lu Yun asked a subordinate how far it was from Xiluobu Village. The answer he got was more than 1,500 nautical miles. Judging from the ship's return speed, it will arrive at Xiluobu Village in the afternoon of two days at the earliest.
This confirmed his original guess: sailing in the East China Sea is like running on a rubber playground. If the Straw Hat Pirates in the original plot were marching along the runway in a satisfactory manner, then the current Black Cat Pirates must be When choosing the type of approach, the straight line between two points is the shortest, which is one of the most suitable laws at sea.
The heavy bows of the three cruisers of different sizes broke through the sea all the way, stirring up thousands of waves. Under the instructions of the navigator, they changed direction according to the wind and other factors. Let the helmsman, mainsailer, spinnaker and other support staff take turns to work to make the bulky guy move in the right direction.
(Note: In the world of One Piece, except for the headquarters super battleship with "steam turbine" technology and other individual pirate ships, everything else is powered by wind.)
On the naval battleship named "New Baiji Braku 1", on the pole of the ship, the navy flag that has not yet been replaced is fluttering in the wind. Zangao is standing on the bow of the ship. If you ignore his rural non-mainstream attire , quite the momentum of guiding the country.
What I want to mention here is that after careful consideration, Zangao decided to start recruiting a large number of troops as soon as he arrived on a large island to absorb more new blood into the pirate group. Some smaller pirate groups were also his targets. It must be expanded to twice the previous size, or even more!
Why is the Creek Pirates called the strongest in the East China Sea? A large part of the reason is that they would rather have excess than lack and have expanded to a fifty-ship pirate group. This scale can even sweep all the naval branches in the East China Sea except Rogge Town.
In another 2 hours, we will sail out of the sea area ruled by Aaron. The endless sea and a clear sky converge into a black line in the distance. This is the only scenery around. If there are no outstanding navigators, we will definitely have to sail. Lost in this sea. So it can still be seen that the Black Cat Pirates across the East China Sea are full of talents.
"Huhu. It's finally safe." Zangao put down the telescope in his hand and relaxed slightly. After all, although he did not admit that fear was involved. But Aaron's empire is still a restricted area in their circle. If they can leave early, they should leave early, not to mention that they have killed a powerful general of the opponent.
Lu Yun stood on the second boat, but shook his head:
"It's a pity. Captain, it seems that they are only 40 nautical miles away. Well, there are three warships in the direction of about 8 o'clock, which is about the same as us."
on the sea. With the help of a telescope, the farthest visual distance can reach 30 nautical miles, but that is usually at night, and the light from the other party's mast light is extremely strong. If it's daytime. Even with a high-quality telescope purchased at an auction house for a large sum of money, Zangao could only see whether there were ships 26 or 7 nautical miles away.
Lu Yun was able to see it, of course, with the help of a life detector of epochal significance. Although this is just an incidental function, it is still far beyond the scope of this era. Not only can you see the number of ships, but you can even vaguely see the outlines of the ships. They are undoubtedly naval warships!
And for some reason their speed is nearly 3 levels faster than Lu Yun¡¯s side, which makes our side get bitten very quickly!
At this time, Zangao showed the qualities a captain should have. He did not ask how Lu Yun could know the situation at such a long distance, but first issued a series of instructions.
¡°It¡¯s going to be a tough battle!¡±
"The helmsman shifts the direction 15 degrees to the left."
"Get the sailors in position."
¡°All gunners are in position.
The atmosphere on the ship became more and more solemn. Although no ships were seen yet, the battle captain's expression clearly did not look like he was joking, so under this silent pressure, beads of sweat began to form on everyone's foreheads.
Finally, a few black spots appeared on the distant horizon. At first glance, they seemed to be the needles and threads responsible for connecting the sky and the sea. The black spots gradually became clearer and finally became sails.
An experienced old pirate couldn¡¯t help but take a breath:
"Damn, this is bigger than our battleship!"
Zan shouted loudly:
"Aim the cannon and prepare to fire!"
After the words fell, the artillery located on the left and right sides of the ship were pushed to the stern along the track. After integrating a total of 10 artillery pieces from Lu Yun's ship, including spares, the firepower of Braku 1 and 2 was absolutely terrifying. , at least it is more than one level better than the original black pirate ship.! Fortunately, this is the Black Cat Pirates, and everyone is good at playing with guns and cannons, so even if they are in trouble, it will be no problem to kill them.
After hearing the main gunner's organization, all the muzzles ejected tongues of flame at the same time, and the first salvo kicked off. This time it was intended to be a deterrent and test, and it could be said to be a test fire.
"Rumble" sounds continued, and there was a lot of water splashing around the three naval warships. Many of them lost their accuracy, but some hit the hull, and one of the masts of one of them was broken.
Of course, there was a fierce roar in the sky afterwards. It was obvious that the navy began to fight back unwilling to be outdone. Of course, the difference occurred, almost 100 meters away from the rear of the Braku. It seems that because the Black Cat Pirates destroyed the most elite combat troops before, the naval gunners this time are parallel imports.
Under the bombings of the Black Cat Pirates again and again, one of the warships completely slowed down, and it seemed that several large holes had been punched out. Although through the telescope, it could be seen that the crew on it was beginning to work hard to repair it, but It will take some time to get back up to speed.
But the other two ships were still heading towards the Braku at an alarming speed. Zangao and several other commanders were ordering the crew to maintain the output of firepower. Finally, another ship stopped, annoying the pirates. Everyone was cheering and joking that the navy was actually just like that.
Lu Yun habitually pushed up his glasses with his hands and said loudly to Zan:
"Boss! You have to see clearly that the smoke on that warship is not enough to cause the hull to be scrapped. This shows that they stopped on purpose."
Zangao replied:
"There is no reason. They came up alone as a ship. Even if they are confident that they can safely dock under our artillery bombardment, we will swarm them and kill most of them. By then, it is still a matter of debate who will win and who will lose."
The catmen brothers also nodded in agreement. They did not believe that there were so many talented people in a naval branch. If it was just an ordinary navy, it would be easily torn in half by them.
Deliberately stopping the boat. The reason is that Lu Yun is actually not very good at making a conclusion, but he knows that this is the last craziness of the g11 division, so it is very likely that both of them are here!
Suddenly, the speed of the warship that had never stopped began to increase sharply. Like a shark that saw the target, it opened its bloody mouth and pounced away. At the same time, wisps of thick black smoke rose from the only naval warship, and they all began to fly in all directions like fireworks. Of course, the densest ones were in the direction of the Braku.
All I could see at the top of the black smoke were hot red fireballs. The light flickered on and off. Finally, they hit the sails like a strong wind mixed with heavy rain. Naturally, they burned instantly. The hull was made of wood. It was controlled, so flames broke out in many places.
No wonder the other warship stopped. It turned out that it didn¡¯t want to be affected by this indiscriminate attack method!
In just one move, the two ships on Black Cat's side were reduced to almost half their mobility. The pirates' laughter changed instantly, sounding like the sound made by something stuck in their throats while eating.
Lu Yun murmured: "This should be some kind of skill of that bombardier Moloch, it's really powerful"
When their speed dropped and they didn't want to be caught up, they had no choice but to attack the enemy. The Black Cat Pirates began to fire hard, but this time they couldn't even make that unpleasant sound, because The two sides are already close, so we can see why this pirate ship can always move forward at full speed. It turns out that our own artillery can't hurt it at all!
Any cannonball hitting it will be blocked by an invisible but substantial air wall, and it will remain in a stalemate in the air. Although one can imagine how astonishing the heat generated by the fierce friction outside the naval warship is, in the end All the shells lost kinetic energy and fell into the sea.
"It's a person with abilities!" Zangao was shocked. It was obviously his first time to see such a bizarre thing, but he classified any phenomenon that could not be explained by science as being a person with abilities.
After finding out the "reason", he continued to shout:
"Although I don't know what kind of ability he has, he still needs to rest. Keep firing!"
The sound of cannons rumbled, but without exception, they were still blocked from the battleship itself.
"Damn it, is this ability user so strong! Which school-level headquarters dispatched it? We can't move the slightest bit." Zangao cursed angrily.
Lu Yun silently watched what happened. Needless to say, another member of the Ye Xiao team also took action. The two men's attack and defense coordination was flawless. but¡¡
??At least one thing that Zang Gao said is right. This kind of man-made power at least has a time limit. Even the most powerful items and skills cannot guarantee that the bombardment of these powerful artillery fires will be ignored for a long time.
Sure enough, he found that each salvo would cause the shells to move one point closer to the hull. Although it was not much, it could still be seen if you looked closely.
At this time, Zangao also discovered this phenomenon and couldn't help shouting excitedly:
"It works! Keep going! Break this ship into a sieve!"
But the good times didn't last long. There was only a "bang" sound, and an artillery tube exploded. The barrel was torn into pieces and the gunner next to him was also beaten with blood. Several large fragments were completely penetrated into his body. Here, I can't live without seeing it. At this moment, all the gunners couldn't help but stop.
If you fire again, the fate of your companions will be theirs! ()¡ª¡ª
