Chapter 1203 The Pirates Return (Part 7)

The silence did not last long.

But it was neither Blackbeard nor Feng Bujue who broke the silence, but...

"Captain" At that time, a high, loud voice came from the observation deck at the top of the mast, "Maybe now is not the time, but I have to interrupt you."

"What's the matter?" Blackbeard's gaze still stayed on Feng Bujue, with no intention of moving away, but he still responded to the lookout with a shout.

"To the southeast, there is a ship coming towards us quickly." You can guess from the tone of the lookout when talking to Blackbeard that he is by no means an idle person, "In my opinion... come on. That’s not good.”

Hearing this, Blackbeard thought for two seconds. Then, he adjusted his tone and voice to the appropriate level, and said to Feng Bujue in front of him: "It seems... we have to talk later."

"It doesn't matter, you go and do your work first." Feng Bujue spread his hands and replied with a noncommittal expression.

"Heh..." Blackbeard smiled, "But I still have to confirm first..." He paused, "When I am 'busy', you shouldn't take the opportunity to do something that will make me become More busy things to come?"

"No." Feng Bujue replied, "In fact, I'm going to help you..." He stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, "If possible, I hope you will treat me as a person." Treat it as an ally or even a companion.”

"I see..." Blackbeard heard this and thought thoughtfully, "Is this your 'mission' this time?"

"It's one of them." Feng Bujue didn't show any surprise at Blackbeard's wording even though he heard the word "mission", "But specifically, I don't think I can explain it to you."

"It doesn't matter, it's enough to know this." Blackbeard said, immediately turned around and left.

His steps are firm, steady, fast and powerful...

In a blink of an eye, he had reached the helmsman's station located at the middle rear of the ship.

Blackbeard stood high, standing by the railing in front of the helmsman's platform, standing solemnly under the gaze of all the pirates.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and shouted again: "Robbers! Scumbags! My little ****!" At this point, he showed a smile that can only be described as "ferocious", "Haha...Obviously, there is a group of reckless guys coming towards us..."

Just when he started this "pre-war speech", the clipper ship from the southeast was approaching rapidly; even sailors with average eyesight could already vaguely see the ship's shadow.

However, Blackbeard's attitude is still very calm...

His calm and unhurried attitude with a hint of eagerness to try stems from his self-confidence as the master of the sea and... a primitive desire for killing.

“I’m going to decorate my bookshelf with their captain’s skull.

"I'm going to use the skins of those crew members to sew war drums.

"I'm going to collect a hundred spines to make the side carvings of the Queen's Revenge.

"I will fill twelve barrels of human blood to serve as fuel for Greek fire (a liquid incendiary invented by the Byzantine Empire that can burn on water).

“I’m going to put their ship in a glass bottle and keep it as a permanent collection.

"I want to engrav fear deeply into the souls of each of them, and let my name be spread across the River Styx!"

Blackbeard's voice was like thunder, and his words were heard by everyone on the ship; even the pirates below the deck and in the cabin all heard his declaration.

"Do you...understand?" Blackbeard asked after a few seconds.

"Ho! Ho!" The pirates on the entire ship, no matter where they were, all roared loudly and neatly.

"Very good." The corner of Blackbeard's mouth raised a smile again, indicating that he was very satisfied with this response; after a two-second pause, he spoke again, "Then..."

Just when he said these two words, he heard... a long "Yo" sound coming from the side; followed by another "Bang" sound.

It turned out... that a shell from an enemy ship landed on the sea just a few meters away from the Queen Anna's Revenge.

The power of the cannonball was very frightening, and the water splashed straight up, like an evil dragon emerging from the water, menacingly.

"Hmph..." Blackbeard just smiled coldly when he saw this.

The next second, he suddenly pulled out the sword of Triton (the messenger of the sea in ancient Greek mythology, the son of King Poseidon and Queen Amphitrite) from his waist, raised it to the sky, and continued the previous Before he could finish his words, he shouted loudly: "Pirates... raise the sails! Full left helm!"

As soon as the captain's order came out, all the pirates on the ship started to move like arrows.

Despite the fact that these guys are usually lazy, irritable and unruly... at this moment, they will instantly become more efficient than any well-trained army.

In just a blink of an eye, the pirates around Feng Bujue and Snow... including Brother Suan Tou... had all disappeared without a trace.

Running, rolling, crawling, swinging...

The pirates were busy on the deck like a swarm of scattered bees or jumping monkeys.

Under the command of a small number of "cadres", these dozens of people quickly raised sails, set up cannons, prepared ammunition, swords, guns, and ropes in an orderly rhythm...

In short, everyone is in a state of preparation for war.

And the incoming enemy... Although the identity is still unknown, this kind of character who dares to take action against the Blackbeard Pirates is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"The captain is the Brown Algae!" After a while, when the outline of the ship gradually became clear, the lookout shouted.

When Blackbeard heard the name, his expression remained unchanged, and he just asked: "Whose flag is flying?"

"One-eyed skull flag!" the lookout shouted back. After a second's pause, he added, "It's 'Crazy Eyes'!"

When he said this name, most of the pirates on the deck were slightly startled.

Feng Bujue and Snow were both very good at observing what was happening, and they immediately deduced something from the reaction of this group of pirates.

"Did you see it too?" Snow asked softly immediately.

"Ah..." Feng Bujue said, "Judging from the changes in the expressions of the people around me... that 'Crazy Eye' is not easy to deal with."

"Well..." Snow continued in a deep voice, "But no matter how difficult it is to deal with, it's not as strong as Blackbeard, right?"

"That's necessary." Feng Bujue responded, "But... it is this kind of 'enemy that is only slightly lower than Blackbeard' that is more difficult to deal with; usually... the difference in strength between the two is not very big. When the pirate group faces each other, no matter who wins in the end, it will be a 'miserable victory'." At this point, Brother Jue's eyes moved slightly and the topic changed, "Besides... I care about it very much..."

"What do you care about?" Snow soon discovered that Feng Bujue's gaze was moving downwards, as if he was "seeing through" the things below the deck.

"The cannonball that fell into the sea just now..." Brother Jue muttered, "it's a bit unusual..."

"Oh?" Snow was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he connected his thoughts and continued, "Well... after you said it... it is indeed very strange. When the shell was fired just now, the opponent's The ship is still very far away from us; assuming their bombardment range is this far, why continue to approach? Even if they have a reason to approach, why not fire again as they approach? "

The conclusion he could draw from his self-questioning reasoning was that the cannonball was "special" or even "unique" as Brother Jue said just now.

But its specific function, even Feng Bujue, still doesn't know yet.

"Sail! Go at full speed!" Just as the two players were talking, Blackbeard's voice echoed throughout the ship again.

At this moment, the Queen Anna's Revenge had already turned to a state facing the captain of the Brown Algae under the previous adjustment of "raising sails and full rudder"; in other words, Blackbeard's order this time was basically equivalent to asking the crew to Drive the boat head-on and attack the enemy ship.

"Captain." At this time, a black man who had been standing silently next to Blackbeard on the helm said to Blackbeard with a serious look on his face, "The other party is now tailwind, and... has reached At that speed, if we collide with them head-on like this..."

"Erdini." Blackbeard interrupted him and called him.

"What are your orders? Captain." Erdini immediately responded respectfully.

"You don't need to participate in this battle." Blackbeard continued, "Now... go to the sea for a walk."

Erdini showed no dissatisfaction or doubt about what sounded like a suicide directive. He simply asked calmly: "What do you want me to do in the sea?"

"There is something wrong with the shell that fell just now." Blackbeard also replied very calmly, "Go and check...if everything is normal, you can come back for support."

"Yes, Captain." Erdini took the order. Without saying a word, he turned around, spread his long legs and ran towards the side.

When he reached the edge of the deck, he jumped into the turbid water outside the ship.

…………

At the same time, onboard the Brown Algae.

"Captain! The other party turned the ship's bow and came towards us!" Their lookout hands were also shouting to the captain.

"Nonsense, it's all so close. I can see it myself." On the bow of the ship, a man wearing a dark blue captain's uniform with a fleshy face and a black eyepatch on his left eye immediately responded to his words in a irritable tone. crew members.

This man is crazy-eyed...

The name "Crazy Eyes" was obviously his nickname after he became a pirate. As for his real name... he himself had forgotten it.

Although Crazy Eyes wears an eyepatch on his left eye all year round, he is not actually blind in that eye.

Seeing this, many people must have been wondering...does he have a Sharingan? Is that eye patch a spiritual power control device?

Well...the answer will be revealed in the next chapter.

Let's continue the story...

After Crazy Eyes yelled at his lookout hand, he took two steps and walked to the other person.

Then, this dignified captain actually changed into an almost flattering tone and said: "Uh... Master, look... what should we do next?"

The man whom Crazy Eyes calls "Master" is all wrapped up in an earth-colored Western-style monk's robe, and his face is completely covered in shadow; in this state, even standing in front of him, it is difficult to see It is impossible to see whether he is male or female, old or young, human or ghost...

"You don't need me to teach you, right?" The master's voice didn't sound anything special. It was a very ordinary male voice. Men between the ages of twenty and forty might have such a voice. "How to fight a naval battle? You Better than me."

"Then... I'll just act according to circumstances?" Crazy Eyes responded tentatively.

Just as the "Master" was about to answer this question, he suddenly discovered something strange hidden in his monk's robe, and instantly thought in his mind, "Is that... Feng Bujue?"

I don't know what method he used, but when the two ships were still a certain distance apart, he noticed that Brother Jue was on Blackbeard's ship.

"Not only that... 'Those two guys' are also here." The Master said in his mind, "No... I can't contact them in this situation, I have to leave before they find me."

He made the decision to run away almost instantly, and said calmly: "Crazy Eyes, I'm going to get something from the cabin, here... you have full control."

After saying this, he wanted to turn around and leave.

"Eh? This..." Crazy Eyes saw this and hurried forward to ask, "Master, the fight is about to start, what are you..."

"Huh?" The Master didn't intend to explain anything to Crazy Eyes at all, he just uttered a syllable in an unhappy tone.

Just this move scared Crazy Eyes and made him take a step back.

"Sorry... I'm sorry, Master, please..." Crazy Eyes lowered his head hurriedly and took a few steps back, "Here... I'll take care of it."

The master didn't say anything to him and left silently.

Until his figure entered the cabin under the deck and was out of Crazy Eyes' sight, the latter breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tsk... This bastard, I don't know what he is doing again." Even if the other party had gone far away, Crazy Eyes didn't dare to say it loudly, but just muttered in a low voice.

It's not difficult to see from Crazy Eyes' reaction... He never thought that the "master" would escape at the last minute.

In Crazy Eyes' cognition, the strength of this "master" just now is far above Blackbeard, which is also his greatest confidence and reliance for this "attack".

Crazy Eyes firmly believes that he, who was originally only "a little bit worse" than Blackbeard, can definitely take away the title of Pirate King... Oh no... Pirate King with the help of this existence who is stronger than Blackbeard.

Unfortunately... Man proposes, God disposes.

Crazy Eyes would never have thought that just a minute ago, he had become a victim of a "change of situation". (To be continued.)
