Pirate Kingship

Creaky! Creaky!

The wooden sailboat swayed from side to side in the strong wind and waves, making a groaning sound that made people's teeth ache.

The higher the position, the more terrifying the swing.

The navy who was struggling to climb on the main mast side rigging was wearing a captain's uniform, and four short muskets were inserted in the cowhide belt on his chest.

Compared with the warrant officer who was just an officer candidate, a captain who had served for at least two years and passed the assessment of the Navy Department was a formal officer on a warship.

And this was a half-supernatural person who had awakened [spiritually] like Byron but had not held an inauguration ceremony.

In human society, except for a very small number of geniuses, they can complete [spiritual] sublimation on their own before adulthood.

Most supernatural people began to take on certain social responsibilities as they grew older, and only after they had more experience could they gradually awaken with the help of potions and spices.

Supernatural people over the age of 20 were the mainstream.

"We're here!"

While everyone else was caught up in the chaos, the captain who received the flag-raising mission from Baron Adonis finally managed to climb up the top mast of the main mast.

A hint of joy appeared on his face.

In this kind of 6-force gale, only the bravest sailors dared to climb up the top mast.

A few dozen meters below his feet was a huge wave that had already rolled up foam. If he lost his footing and fell, he would definitely die.

High risk also means high returns.

The merits obtained from performing this mission were enough for him to obtain relevant knowledge of the promotion ceremony.

His goal was to become a [Gunnery Expert] of the Lighthouse Sequence, accumulate merits, and be awarded a decorated officer.

Board a battleship of level 4 or above, get on the fast track of promotion, and become a "Mr." recognized by the upper class!

Although when he first joined the army, he had sworn allegiance to Henry VI of Lancaster.

But he was not one of those stubborn [Punishment Knights].

Compared to his own future, who cares about loyalty?

Not to mention the pursuit of a suspected Lancastrian remnant [Devil's Son], even if he was asked to stab the old king, it would not be a problem.

Anyway, the Lancastrian dynasty is now extinct and the York dynasty is in power.

White Rose is in charge of the [Iron Law of Royal Power]. As long as he can get over it, the consequences of breaking the oath will not be found on his head.

The captain tore off the original shark-riding skull pirate flag and nailed the blood cross flag of Hastings he brought to it.

After the flag was raised, it was a signal. The captain was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to ensure that the [Law] was effective here and welcome his highlight moment.

Baron Adonis on the [Severe] had raised his palm to the [Man-eating Shark] that had entered the jurisdiction.

He pointed the gold law ring on it at the pirate ship and ordered:

"Law: All pirates and pirate acts who do not hold their own "Privateer License."

But at this moment,

The captain thought the dust was about to settle, but suddenly he found that the noble baron's face changed drastically and pointed behind him.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a figure on the other side of the side rigging fixed to the main mast, like a cheetah, rushing towards him.

[Spiritual] warned the captain to step back at the critical moment, so that the sword that should have cut his neck grazed his chest.

It was blocked by the chain mail on his body, and the damage was not serious.

But Byron did not change his face and changed his moves in an instant. He pulled the rope tied to his body as a safety rope and jumped to the other side of the mast.

At the moment of passing by, a close-range cut successfully cut off a piece of flesh on the captain's thigh.

The instant pain made the captain, who was obviously not good at swordsmanship, lose his balance and fall off the mast.

He quickly grabbed the flintlock musket inserted in the leather belt on his chest.

There is a saying: the gun is fast at seven steps away, and the gun is accurate and fast within seven steps!

Especially at the stage of low-level extraordinary people, it is not uncommon to be killed by ordinary soldiers.

Unfortunately, in the panic of being attacked, the captain did not realize it.

At the moment when the two of them exchanged positions, Byron had already occupied the upper wind direction, while he himself fell to the lower wind.

When Byron shook his hand and threw a bag of red powder, the sea breeze with a speed of 14 meters per second instantly brought them to the captain's face.

"Ah--!"

More shrill screams resounded over the battlefield,

The burning pain in his eyes made him no longer have the strength to grab the musket on his chest.

Byron immediately rushed forward and cut with a sword. Not only did he snatch the belt from his body, but he also kicked him down from the mast dozens of meters high.

There, the man-eating sharks raised by [Blood Eyes] had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as they saw the delicious food coming, they immediately swarmed over.

"As a chef, it's reasonable to carry a bag of chili powder with you, right?

I just don't know if sharks are used to spicy food."

At the same time, he flashed the sword in his hand again and cut off half of the blood cross flag.

The [Law] that Baron Adonis shouted out completely became nonsense.

At this time, the weather change sensed by [Weather Intuition] was not far away. Byron counted down silently in his heart:

"Ten, nine, eight"

With five seconds left, he sent a signal to the carpenter Little Hans who had already called in advance.

Little Hans, who had been waiting for a long time at the bow anchor rack, immediately dropped the anchor on the [Man-eating Shark] that was heavier than the cannon.

Tactical action: drop anchor and turn!

Because the main anchor of the battleship is heavier than the cannon on the ship, the vibration when the anchor hits the bottom will suddenly tighten the entire anchor cable, and eventually shake the entire battleship in an instant.

Although in normal times, this kind of instantaneous vibration that may cause the ship to fall apart must be strictly prohibited.

But at this moment of life and death, it is the only chance for the [Man-eating Shark] to get rid of the cruiser and escape.

Bang——!

More than a dozen hooks that tied the two ships together were suddenly broken by this shock, and the two ships that were tightly pressed together shoulder to shoulder really broke away again.

After sending the signal, Byron did not slide down the mast immediately, but hugged the mast that was across the sky above the [Severe].

He took out two bottles of 84.5-proof Bacardi rum collected by Captain Salman from his waist bag.

The [spiritual glow] in his eyes lit up, and the invisible third hand opened the bottle cork and stuffed the linen into the bottle mouth to soak it with wine.

This is the famous Molotov cocktail (beggar version)!

The two bottles of wine fell straight to the hatch of the warship below in the sparks of Byron's [tinderbox].

With two violent explosions, a raging fire broke out in the bottom of the warship.

"The warship is on fire!"

"Retreat quickly! The baron is still on the ship. If the gunpowder magazine explodes, we will all be finished!"

The navy, who was knocked to the ground like a rolling gourd in the huge earthquake, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately climbed up from the deck and jumped back quickly.

Even [fortress guard] Harold was no exception.

If they could move step by step, perhaps sooner or later they could kill all the pirates at the lowest cost.

But the pirates had already seen the hope of survival, and they fought back frantically under the desire to survive.

The navy could not afford such a heavy price at all.

In addition, with the fire in the backyard, their own warships might burn a noble York together, and no one dared to take this risk.

Just when the Man-eating Shark, under the dual effects of the anchor and the strong wind, drew a huge arc and headed northeast to face the wind.

"Cut!"

Salman, with air waves all over his body, flew up and cut the thick anchor rope with a knife.

The Man-eating Shark immediately rushed northeast to face the wind under the effect of inertia.

Woo woo woo.

The error between the front and back was only a few seconds, and the 7-level wind with a speed of 27 knots also arrived as expected in the tears of the pirates.

The huge crests with white foam rose high, like hills, and pushed the two sailboats farther and farther in the blink of an eye.

A miraculous reversal!

"Roar--!"

"The wind is coming!"

"We really survived! Hahaha."

Hearing the cheers from the pirate ship that soared into the sky, both Baron Adonis and Captain Harold looked extremely ugly.

The fire that started from the bottom of the cruiser gradually got out of control and was about to affect the ammunition depot.

Captain Harold could only helplessly order:

"All sailors should do their best to put out the fire, and others should temporarily evacuate!"

A group of soldiers desperately turned the crank of the manual water pump to pump water to put out the fire.

On the other side, Adonis, who was covered in dust and was carried by the Marines to jump onto the lifeboat, clenched his fists tightly, almost pinching his nails into the flesh.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

The angry roar was pale and powerless.

The damaged sails, the imminent fire, and the sudden abnormal weather made the cruiser completely lose the possibility of chasing the pirate ship.

He knew very well that today was his closest and last chance to capture the [Devil's Son].

After the other party completely left the territorial waters of Hastings, the family's wanted range for him would surely expand.

The navy, privateer captains, bounty hunters, and even other pirates would soon flock to him!
