Pirate Nova

Chapter 2 2. The upcoming tough battle

After roughly listening to the sound of footsteps for a while, Jack decided to stay on the sidelines for the time being and continue to ambush near the narrow corridor of the boathouse. It is a battlefield that is beneficial to oneself.

Because the merchant ship he was on was going to deliver the goods, in addition to some purchased ingredients, there were also a lot of island specialty ores accumulated at the bottom of the cabin.Moreover, after the goods transported are transshipped between islands, their value will also rise. This is why there are still people who will become merchants in this sea full of pirates.

Of course, whether it is those merchants who take risks to deliver goods, or pirates who swarm up like hungry wolves when they see merchant ships, this sea can drive them to do these things willingly. There is only one reason: profit.

Whether it is the merchants who resell goods and make a lot of money, or the pirates who are "empty gloves and white wolves", only the shiny golden Bailey is what they are after.Of course, this is just the only thing some pirates at the bottom of the pirate food chain can do.

It is also these pirates who burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil.Only then did the pirate's notoriety spread throughout the world.

But since you are a pirate, you should know some basic common sense. For example, valuable goods will not appear on the uppermost deck out of thin air, but are properly hidden in various places in the cabin.Of course, personally searching for any valuables on a ship has always been something that pirates can't stop.

Thinking of this, Jack, who was hiding in the dark corner behind the stairs in the cabin, couldn't help grinning. His body was hidden in the shadow behind the stairs, and those who walked down the cabin basically didn't care about the situation behind them, because In their eyes, these ordinary people fleeing in front of them are basically lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

And in this world where information transmission is extremely slow, the two pirates who died in the cabin had no chance to pass any news to the crew on the deck.This also gave Jack an opportunity.

After a while, a short pirate walked carelessly from the top of the deck to the stairs. Perhaps because he was about to get a chance to release his malice, the face of this pirate who had been at sea for an unknown amount of time showed cruelty. With a wide smile, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and he looked at the messy cabin with a look of impatience.

However, the smile on his face that had not been filled for a long time froze in an instant. He saw two corpses lying on their backs, and judging from the clothes on each other, he quickly realized that these two were exactly them. The crew of the Pirates.

puff~
A cold light came from behind him instantly without warning, and the moment the icy blade touched the back of his neck, the sensation of the sharp weapon cutting flesh became the only temperature he could feel.

His back was stained red with blood, and his unconscious body, like a puppet with a broken string, fell straight face to face on the ground, twitching non-stop.

"Tsk tsk, are they all in such good physical condition?"

Jack watched the man twitch for a while in surprise before he died completely, thinking in his heart with some sighs.Because he himself estimated that the situation would be to completely behead the other party, it seems that he still misjudged his own strength a little bit.

After solving the three pirates in the cabin one after another, Jack cautiously looked at the deck from the stairwell.After roughly glancing at the situation on the deck, he already had a rough outline in his mind.

At this time, seven or eight pirates are working hard to kill those sailors who dare to resist on the deck. After all, these merchant ships are sailing on the sea, and they are not completely without resistance. The captains of merchant ships usually hire some strong sailors , These sailors also have more or less combat experience, and Jack was originally one of these sailors.

Following the sound of footsteps on the wooden board connecting the two ships, the pirates who were still busy stopped their movements for a while and turned to look at their captain.

This middle-aged man was wearing a dark brown large windbreaker, with a thick beard on his face and the Pirate Bay knife inlaid with black gold on his waist, giving people a strange sense of shock.Of course, this is only for ordinary people kneeling on the deck.After all, people in the nearby islands have basically heard of the notoriety of this turbulent pirate group.

In the White Gull Pirates, only the captain Billy Denzel has a bounty in the whole group. The bounty of 270 million is neither too much nor too little.After all, it has only been two years since he went to sea.Moreover, he had been cautious in the sea, always guarding against the power of the navy, so he was not caught.

Denzel still has a clear understanding of his own strength. He knows that there are too many people stronger than him in this sea. Let alone the navy, even in this vast South China Sea, there are A lot of people can regard his life as worthless.

Of course, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is the main skill that pirates rely on to survive, and a pirate group like him with only a dozen people in the whole group is even better. Picking merchant ships with weak guards is also his main "career" up.

"How are you guys? What did you find?"

Denzel looked very satisfied with the 'hard-working' crew members, and even couldn't help showing a slight smile. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were crowded together, inspecting the results of the crew's plunder.

Denzel glanced around the dozen or so prisoners of war kneeling on the ground, and then looked at his crew, feeling something was wrong.He found that the crew seemed to be missing a lot.

As for the pirate who was punched to death by Jack on the ground, Denzel didn't pay attention at all.The pirates not only regard the lives of ordinary people as trivial, but even their own crew members do the same.After all, everyone took risks to go out to sea as pirates, with their heads pinned to their waistbands, burning, killing, and looting. If they die, they die. There is nothing to say.

But Denzel found that besides the pirate who fell on the deck, there were three other crew members missing.This made him a little distressed, after all, the loss of these few people is not a small matter.Although it is said that he can forcibly capture the captives on the ship, and drive the other party to work for him through intimidation and force.

But this kind of time-consuming and labor-intensive thing is of course not as easy to use as a senior crew member.

"Hey! Where are the remaining three bastards?"

After looking at each other, the pirates also realized the three missing crew members. One of the older pirates turned his head to look in the direction of the cabin as if remembering something.

"Boss, they seem to have been down for a while."

"Tsk~"

Denzel looked at the old pirate impatiently, feeling a little annoyed.After all, to be a pirate in this sea, one must ensure that one's authority will not be challenged in any way.You must know that there are countless incidents where the crew rebelled and killed the captain, and fear has become the best means for the captains to stabilize their right to speak.

"Call me those three idiots!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, two pirates put down their work and stepped into the cabin, but at this moment, the two of them didn't realize that there was a pair of eyes in the cabin looking at them coldly, like a tiger about to prey on its prey.

Pfft!

Bang!
"Ahhhhh!!"

Not long after the two pirates walked in, there was the sound of swords clashing and muskets firing in the cabin, followed by the screams of pirates, and then there was silence.

"Whoever is inside, let me out!"

After hearing the scream, Denzel immediately grabbed the handle of the scimitar stuck in his waist with his right hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and roared loudly towards the cabin.

Gollum~ Gollum~
What Denzel responded to was not any words, but two human heads that were thrown from the cabin. The heads rolled on the deck and stopped impartially among the pirates. The two people in the cabin still had their last expressions frozen on their faces. They seemed to have experienced some great pain, and the muscles on their faces were twisted into a ball.

After a not-so-easy encounter, Jack managed to deal with the two pirates who entered the cabin as he wished.And the price he paid was that half of his ear was blown away by the unexpected musket.This was the result of his turning his head slightly at a critical moment. You must know that although the opponent used a simple matchlock gun, the bullets were still bullets after all.

His current strength is basically a serious injury if he is shot in the front, but the blood left from his left ear is still reminding Jack of the world he is in now. If there is no strength here, then he will only be plundered by others .

After a short battle, Jack also wanted to understand the current situation. In addition to the two pirates he just solved, the number of opponents had dropped from double digits to single digits.Although on the surface, his chances of winning have increased a lot, but he still understands the principle of being careful when sailing for thousands of years.

He didn't make a sound after throwing out the two heads, and he didn't choose to walk out of the cabin. Instead, he found two loaded matchlock guns from several dead pirates. As for the ammunition?He didn't see it at all.It seems that the pistols on these pirates' waists basically have only one bullet, and they should only fire at critical moments.

As for the usual looting, cold weapons are used, and pistols are not used at all.However, these analyzes are only obtained by Jack based on the current situation. Maybe these people are too poor.Moreover, the steps of filling ammunition for the matchlock gun are too troublesome in battle.

As for now, Jack already has two pistols that can cause damage immediately, and a pirate scimitar that has a little gap.Although his situation is not second, his eyes are still full of determination, and he doesn't feel a trace of despair.

"Come on, let me see if I kill you all, or if I stop here"

Jack, who was hiding again at the corner of the corridor, silently held the weapon in his hand, waiting for the next tough battle.
