I'm a pirate

Above the boundless sea, the weather was clear and cloudless, with gulls gusting and waves rippling, four large ships departed from the port of Iron Island to do business on Marglin Island.

The four ships, two were merchant ships and two were escort ships, most of the merchant ships transported refined iron ore, which was of great value, and the sea was not peaceful, so escorting was naturally necessary.

Nowadays, although it hadn't reached the Great Voyage Era yet, whether it was the Four Seas or the Great Voyage, there weren't many pirates, but the pirates who could survive on the great seas had two brushes, even if they were among the Four Seas.

Unlike after the Great Voyage era, when pirates erupted like a tidal wave and the navy simply couldn't handle it, causing the quality of pirates to vary, in today's era when the number of pirates was still relatively small, the pirates that could survive in the Western Sea were quite powerful!

On his first trip out to sea, though not on his own ship, Carlos was quite happy, dressed in a white trouser and shirt, watching the sea with great interest, and having a sense of his own immense insignificance in the midst of it!

After half an hour or so, Carlos got tired of watching and returned to his room, passing the time by practicing and reading, occasionally going for a walk on deck.

Through the mafia's operations, Carlos had become a valued guest on this ship, and was treated well in all sorts of ways.

Passing by the island, temporarily moored and resupplied, Carlos would also go to the island to walk around and see the different customs and scenery.

The four seas were actually fine, the weather in the ocean wasn't too weird and unpredictable, and the connection between the islands was pretty strong, though there were many differences, though there were also many similarities.

No great voyages, new world kind of island to island distinctly different situations!

The first six days of the voyage were calm, and nothing unexpected happened, but at dusk on the seventh day, when the sea and the sky reflected each other, and the heavens and the earth were red between them, an accident occurred, and trouble came.

A piercing alarm sounded on all four ships, and Carlos, seeing the same, came from his own room to the deck, his brow furrowed, and saw five pirate-flagged ships lined up in a row on the sea-route on which they were advancing, with their backs to the setting sun, rushing towards them!

"Oh no, it's the Mad Cow Bandits, it's a disaster!"

"How is that possible? This isn't even an area where the Mad Cow Bandits frequent, so why did they suddenly appear here?"

"Bad luck, bad luck, it's over!"

"Run away, run away, I don't want to die!"

As the five pirate ships appeared, chaos reigned on each ship, and the crowd fell into pessimism and panic, one step away from despair.

"Abandon the merchant ships, all of you go to the faster escort ships and flee immediately, hoping that the value of the two merchant ships will feed them and not continue to pursue us." The captain in charge of the four ships ordered at once, and the order was quickly conveyed down.

Hearing the order, the people on the two merchant ships all scrambled to be the first, you and I scrambled towards the escort ship, under the life and death crisis, what manners, virtues, and manners are all left behind, only wanting to reach the escort ship as quickly as possible.

The first time he went out to sea, he encountered pirates, and they were still active across the region.

Shortly after Carlos stepped onto one of the escort ships, sharp cracking noises rang out, and a pitch-black cannonball flew in, landing and exploding around the four ships, setting off dozens of columns of water.

The pirates, they're starting to attack!

The shelling began, greater panic began to spread, the crew who had not yet stepped onto the escort ship was stimulated, one by one, crazy to the escort ship began to climb, some people were squeezed directly into the sea, panic for help, however, no one to save those who fell into the sea, the cruelty of the sea finally showed a hint of the end

"Retreat, retreat immediately!" The ship in the magnificent brocade robes shouted orders.

Receiving the order, the helmsman controlling the two escort boats immediately started the boat and ran towards the opposite direction from the pirates, the boats separated, some of the crew members who were climbing or had not yet boarded the boat howled, reviled and cursed in despair, however the escort boats didn't care and left mercilessly.

Most of these abandoned crew members could only end up in two ways, either being killed by the pirates, or being installed as slaves by the pirates, and only crew members with a skill could possibly be absorbed by the pirates and become part of them.

That's why it's so important to have a skill, no matter what world you live in!

Carlos also had no law to manage, although some pity for the abandoned people, but he was not the captain and did not want to expose his own strength and identity, commanding no one else.

Carlos followed the two ships to escape, always paying attention to the pirate ships behind him, and found that the five ships left one ship behind, and the remaining four ships did not even stop at all, and sailed at full speed, directly behind them in hot pursuit!

Carlos's frown deepened, something was wrong, very wrong, as a rule, most of the mixed pirates were seeking money, and there was no reason why the pirates couldn't tell the difference between a merchant ship and an escort ship.

The message here is clear enough, break the bank, leave the wealth to you and let them go, why are the pirates still after you?

Isn't that a lot of work and a lot of effort?

The rabbit will bite when it's anxious, not to mention the armed and equipped artillery escort ship, catching up to fight, even if taken, its own casualties will not be small, white pick up a pile of wealth is not good enough?

Killjoys? Head iron? Or, did the two escort ships have who or what they were looking for?

Carlos wondered why that was.

Insufficient intelligence

Looking at the four pirate ships still chasing after each other, the others were also puzzled, and this is all still chasing? Does that mean you have to kill them all?

So the two escort ships opened fire as well, and since they wanted everyone's lives, how could they just sit there and wait to die?

Boom, boom, boom.

Pop, pop, pop.

A time above the azure sea, the sound of cannons, gunfire continued to sound, a small-scale naval battle opened.

Carlos also had to come over a long gun, began to shoot, under the sunglasses, two hook jade writing eye and white eye opened at the same time, the bullet hit, that is really a hundred shots, a deadly iron pea into the body of the pirates!

Chapter Eighteen - Weighing in

Shells flying, bullets firing randomly, the smell of smoke and blood in the salty scarlet sea breeze

Bullets shot at the ship, wood chips flying, leaving shallow bullet holes.

The shells fell in the sea okay, just set off a column of water, under the rain just, fell on the ship on the trouble; a hit is a big hole, will be blown to death, the ship is also on fire, let a person's hands and feet.

The two escort ships against four pirate ships are clearly at a disadvantage, and firepower is not as good as the pirate ships, that is to add insult to injury, more desperate, the escort ships are not as fast as the pirate ships, there are two pirate ships have been flanked.

The scene on the battlefield was in Carlos' eyes, if this continued, the two escort ships would be finished sooner or later, the escort ships were finished, and he wasn't far from being finished.

He couldn't fly now, and he had eaten the devil fruit, landing in the sea, I'm afraid he would just sink like a stone!

We have to do something about it!

Fighting from a distance won't work, he must fight melee in order to live on his unknown upper limit, or even counter defeat!

With a twinkle in his eye, Carlos had a way of taking his gun and heading towards the captain's cabin to beg to see the captain.

Carlos was already an honored guest, and it wasn't difficult to meet the captain.

After seeing the captain, Carlos immediately hypnotized the captain using his Writing Eye and immediately changed his strategy, ordering the helmsman to immediately change direction and instead of fleeing, he directly rushed towards the pirate ship.

In this situation, the captain's orders could not be given haphazardly, or else the people below might not listen, after all, their own little lives were more important.

There were two reasons for giving this seemingly suicidal order, the first one, the overall strength of our own side was lagging behind, if this continued the ship would sink sooner or later, and everyone would be buried at sea; the second one, to tell everyone a good news, there was a hidden strong man on board, only by following him and defeating the pirates would everyone have a chance to live!

Two reasons to go down, the authority of the captain's orders, the reality of the situation, made the helmsmen of the two ships bite their teeth and carry out the captain's orders, and the two ships turned and rushed directly back at the four pirate ships.

"Let me let weigh the pounds of pirates of this age!"

Carlos said to himself as he looked at the largest of the four pirate ships, the huge, incredibly muscular, horned captain of the band of pirates, who was wearing a cowl.

On the other side, the largest pirate ship, the deck.
