In the end, despite Bai Yasha's strong invitation, Anne and their large fortune ship of the Bear-headed Nameless Community still did not accept Bai Yasha's invitation and joined the opponent's seemingly decent voyage fleet.
As for the reason, it was very simple, because Annie explained the reason directly, regardless of Shiro Yaksha's black face:
'Your fleet is too weak, it can't even defeat a single ship, and you are just a burden! '
'And what's more! '
'Xiao Yasha, battleships are not suitable for long voyages! "
"Your crew is so fierce. If I take you with me, I might starve to death!"
'And more and more! '
'Your boat is too slow, and you will definitely lose the race with us! '
The above are Anne's original words at that time, which really didn't give Ding any face, and successfully choked the black-faced Shiro Yaksha until they parted ways.
All in all, although Black Rabbit tried hard to appease and mediate, it didn't seem to have much effect. In the end, Shiroyasha just copied a copy of the chart that Anne had taken out before, and then turned around in despair. Went to find a place to repair the ship.
Annie, Black Rabbit, Kaikai Izayoi, Kuon Asuka, and Kasukabe Yoshi, of course, continued to drive their large-scale lucky ship Yang Fan of the Bear Head brand nameless community southward, officially heading towards the South Pacific, preparing to use it. The South Pacific subtropical gyre heads toward the southernmost tip of South America.
But...
A few days later, when their ship had just arrived in Southeast Asia and was preparing to go to the port called Manila for supplies, they unexpectedly saw a large group of giant 'flying scissor' sails at the port. The warship was parked there, and at the same time it surrounded at least dozens of ships from the participating communities?
then!
After seeing the abnormal situation in the port ahead, the large fortune ship of the Xiongtou Nameless Community subconsciously slowed down, and then began to observe with a telescope from a distance.
"!!"
"Then, what kind of ship is that?"
"Isn't this a bit of a joke? In the age of sails, would there be such a terrifying giant ship of several thousand tons?"
"Oh My God!"
"Look!"
"Izayoi, look, there are ten ships in total there. The port is blocked by them. It seems like none of the unlucky guys inside can get out!"
"whispering sound!"
"I'm not blind!"
"Presumably, they are the subordinates of the guy from a certain plane world who was invited by the center of Hakoba, the great general of the Ming Empire, the commander of the Jingwei, the governor of the Fifth Army Commandery, and the admiral of the East China Sea, Li?"
"Look at it!"
"Up there, in addition to the Ming Empire's golden dragon flag with the sun and moon in the sky, there is also a big flag with the word 'Li'!"
"That's right!"
"It must be him!"
Immediately afterwards, of course, Kuro Usagi, Kasukabe Yō, Kuon Asuka, Kaikai Izayoi and others all exclaimed and started pointing and discussing, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"..."
And similarly, seeing that everyone was shocked, Black Rabbit, who was also a little shocked, thought for a moment, then suddenly closed his eyes, and then his ears began to tremble.
"Everyone!"
"I just contacted the center of Hakoba and got detailed information about those ships!"
Not long after, Black Rabbit opened his eyes again and said excitedly:
"Hakoba Center said that it is a steel-wood structure 'flying shear' type first-class sail super battleship. It has a total of five decks, the top three of which are artillery decks, with a total of 248 heavy cannons. The rapid-fire cannons, one hundred and twenty on each side, and four at the bow and stern, have a very long range, and the firepower is enough to smash any fleet into pieces!"
"In addition to its unparalleled firepower, it also beats almost all the ships we can choose in other performance and hull data!"
"It has four main masts, a total length of 112.52 meters, a width of 24.22 meters, a displacement of more than 6,000 tons, and a total of 48 sails. In comparison, this so-called 'large' ship of our Xiongtou Nameless Community Fu Chuan is like a small sampan?"
"It is the pinnacle of the age of sailing ships. As far as this period is concerned, there is really no better ship than it in all aspects. Even within one or two hundred years of the same period, in the steam age There won’t be anything better before it comes out!”
"If they come out to chase us, no matter how big they are, under the same wind speed and sea conditions, their speed will be at least twice as fast as ours!"
Black Rabbit spoke loudly and excitedly, and immediately conveyed to Izayoi and others the data on the giant battleships that she had obtained from the Hakoniwa Center, and at the same time did not hide the wonder and joy in her words. mood.
"Hey!"
"Damn rabbit, why are you so happy?"
"Those are the navy of the Ming Empire. As mentioned in the previous contract, they were specifically invited by the Center of the Little Garden to act as extras and prevent us from reaching our destination!"
"You never know when we will be hunted down by them, so what's there to be happy about?"
"That's not our ship!"
At this time, without waiting for Black Rabbit to continue, Izayoi hit Black Rabbit on the head hard and pointed at the row of giant ships outside the harbor in the distance and scolded.
"Eh?"
"Isn't it right?"
However, Black Rabbit, who held her head aggrievedly, did not agree with Izayoi's statement, so she rubbed her head angrily and quickly took out the contract she had been keeping.
"look!"
"The above only said, 'Teach the community of the Hakoba world the wooden sailing, exploration and artillery warfare techniques of the Age of Discovery', but it didn't say it would stop us!"
After confirming the contents of the contract once again, Kuro Usagi waved her contract and pointed at the keywords on it while retorting angrily at Izayoi.
"yes!"
"Izayoi, look, the navy of the Ming Empire doesn't seem to be taking action against the participating communities. Have we misunderstood something?"
Kasukabe Yoshiya also vaguely felt that Black Rabbit was right. They really shouldn't be suspicious and scare themselves.
"Everyone!"
"I've seen it, and there doesn't seem to be any traces of fighting around here..."
"It can't be that bad, right?"
Thinking that he had not eaten fresh vegetables and meat for many days, Jiuyuan Feiniao was also a little eager to give it a try, and he couldn't wait to suggest it.
"We don't have much supplies. Do you want to go in and take a look?"
"After all, so many communities have entered..."
"Besides, you have also seen that the navy of the Ming Empire does not seem to have any intention of intercepting us, nor does it show any hostility, right?"
Of course!
Jiuyuan Asuka will never admit it. The key point is: she hasn't had a good bath for several days!
She finally figured out that big voyages were just fun and novel at the beginning, and the rest was just endless torture and boring sailing.
Not to mention anything else, just in the past week, I couldn't eat well, sleep well, and couldn't even take a shower. I could only get some water to boil when it rained and then wiped my body casually. The encounter almost drove her crazy!
So, seeing the port in front of her, she couldn't wait to take advantage of the supply opportunity to go ashore, freshen up, and bring more things that girls like to eat and might use?
"I have no problem!"
"How about we go ask Annie?"
Seeing Asuka saying that, Black Rabbit thought for a while and then looked in the direction of the captain's cabin.
That was the common bedroom for the four girls. Because the captain's cabin was the largest, most comfortable and had a large bed, so after Anne took over, the three of them moved in confidently.
And right now, Annie, that guy, is naturally fast asleep inside.
To be honest, after these days of sailing life, Black Rabbit couldn't help but wonder whether Annie's bad habit of sleeping in was because she had traveled and sailed in many worlds?
After all, the days of sailing are really too boring and boring. The days of following the sailboats swaying slowly on the sea are really terrible and difficult. In addition, the sea is vast, but not all the time. Something happened, so maybe if I could sleep more and be less careless, life would be a little easier?
"whispering sound!"
"You guys..."
"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly!"
Unfortunately, Izayoi did not agree with Black Rabbit and others.
"That being said, the clause in the contract 'teaching the community of the Hakoba world the wooden sailing, exploration and artillery warfare techniques of the Age of Discovery' is indeed correct, but!"
"If the navy of the Ming Empire attacks and intercepts us, and pirates rob us, or even rob and sink our ship, then it can be said to be 'teaching technology', right?"
"See for yourselves!"
"The navy's posture is to line up to block the port and not allow the contestants' boats to come out at will. What good can happen from that?"
"so!"
"I still suggest that you just turn around, go south, and find another place to resupply!"
"Anyway, there is still a lot of water and food left. Let's go to Brunei or the Spicy Islands, that is, the Java Islands?"
After finishing speaking, Izayoi, who looked around at everyone, made his suggestion on the spot and expressed that he did not want to easily enter that strange port surrounded by the navy of the Ming Empire.
"I……"
"never mind."
"You can figure it out yourself!"
Kuon Asuka obviously wanted to enter the harbor and make some repairs, but Izayoi didn't want to listen to her opinion, so she could only turn away in anger.
"I can't make up my mind either."
"Na!"
"Black Rabbit, what do you think?"
Kasukabe Yao was also a little shaken. She had no idea, didn't know what to do, and didn't know who to listen to. She had no choice but to look at Black Rabbit for help.
"I……"
After looking at the three people in front of him, Black Rabbit opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't dare to make a decision.
However, she finally understood that Izayoi was a resolute and radical person who opposed entering the port, while Kuon Asuka was a compromiser who proposed entering the port for repairs. As for Kasukabe Yō, the other party was an undecided fence-sitter. ?
Therefore, now my opinion has become a crucial vote.
"!!"
"Decided!"
"Why don't you go ask Anne for her opinion?"
"She is the captain after all?"
In the end, Black Rabbit certainly did not agree with the opinions of either Izayoi or Asuka. He just said this cunningly, and then hurried towards the captain's cabin without waiting for the two to speak again. Obviously, I'm actually going to ask some bad little girl captain for her opinion.
"??"
"Huh?"
"Look!"
"Izayoi! Kasukabe!"
"Look!"
"It seems like a boat is coming out!"
"That's a large Galen ship with an unknown flag on it. That's right, they must also be contestants from Hakoniwa!"
At this time, before the black rabbit came out, Jiuyuan Asuka cheered, and then excitedly pointed to the large Galen ship in the distance that was slowly sailing out from the circle of Ming Empire naval ships.
"That……"
"Are we going in?"
Seeing that someone could come out instead of being surrounded and detained by the Ming Empire's navy as they had thought before, Kasukabe Yōji immediately fell in favor of Kuon Asuka's opinion and looked excitedly to the side. Izayoi.
"..."
However, Izayoi did not answer in a hurry. He just stared at the ship in silence for a long time.
"No!"
"Let's not rush there yet. Let's wait in front, then stop the community and ask them about their situation first!"
After thinking about it again and again, Izayoi still had doubts in his heart, and felt that things would not be that simple, but he still said it safely.
"alright!"
"That's it!"
"Let's go to the front and wait for them. It's not far anyway. It's the same thing when we come back after asking for details!"
Then, taking advantage of the opportunity when Black Rabbit and Annie didn't come out, Izayoi couldn't wait to make a decision with a wave of his hand, and gave the steering order directly to the helmsman.
…
After more than an hour, Black Rabbit dragging the reluctant Annie out of the captain's room, and caught a glimpse of Izayoi, Asuka and others who seemed to be walking side by side with another ship. The people on Big Galen's ship were talking about something.
But by the time Annie and Black Rabbit reached the bow of the ship, the other party had already turned and slowly left in the other direction.
"What's wrong?"
(.)
"Didn't you say we were going to the port to resupply?"
(Д≡д)!?
"Why are you here?"
=(*)
"Who are those people? Are they your friends?"
(゜-゜)
After looking around, Anne couldn't help but find any port or the Ming Empire fleet that Black Rabbit mentioned.
"This is what happened!"
"We're in big trouble!"
Seeing Black Rabbit and Annie walking forward and looking at the ship slowly leaving in the distance, Izayoi hurriedly stepped forward and asked what they had just learned from the relatively friendly community contestant. What happened was told.
It turns out that in the third ring of the gift game, in this dimensional world created by the center of the small garden, the entire Spicy Islands area is the territory and territorial waters of the Ming Empire, and the general of the Ming Empire, Jing. The Commander of the Guard and the Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the Admiral of the East China Sea, Li'ze, are responsible for the defense here. Any participating ship entering the port will be forced to undergo a three-day security inspection!
For example, checking for piracy?
If so, they will be directly arrested and disqualified from the competition, and then directly forcibly teleported away from this competition plane!
And if there has not been any piracy, then the next step of security inspection will be carried out.
What the specific regulations and standards are, Izayoi didn't ask too clearly just now, but he only knows that the next step of safety inspection will usually disarm most of each ship's weapons to a great extent!
It is said that the Navy Department of the Ming Empire stipulated that large ships could not have more than twenty cannons, that is, they could only have a maximum of ten cannons on one side; medium-sized ships could not have more than ten cannons at most; as for small ships, it was even worse. It is said that it cannot exceed four doors?
All the artillery and ammunition were dismantled in those three days. If they were not dismantled, they would not be allowed to leave. If they tried to force their way through the checkpoint, they would be mercilessly sunk by those terrifying first-class battleships of the Ming Empire Navy!
In addition to the strict requirements for artillery, the same is true for muskets.
According to the community contestant who was just released after replenishing supplies and struggling for three days, all the muskets and other weapons on the ship, as long as they were long guns, were confiscated, and the navy of the Ming Empire only left them with them. Just a short gun, a sword and a shield for self-defense?
"this!"
"Annie, what should we do?"
"Are we still going in?"
After hearing Izayoi's words and knowing that he would be investigated and disarmed after entering, and that he would have to wait three days, Kuro Usagi was startled, and then he looked at Annie with some anxiety and hesitation and asked.
"Of course not!"
()
Without even thinking about it, Annie refused directly.
Because she knew better than anyone how dangerous it was to sail on the ocean in this age of navigation. Without enough cannons, it would definitely not be possible to reach the destination safely.
Not to mention anything else, she is well aware of how rampant pirates are in that area of America!
She even knew that that land would be robbed and occupied by those pirates in the future, and the Indians would be wiped out in the future. If she faced those guys, she would go on the road with only twenty artillery pieces. Not to mention whether they can resist the desperate community contestants along the way, just the crazy pirates and colonists they encounter after arriving in America, the other party can easily sink them!
Although Annie also knew that this was just a game plane created by the Little Garden world, and there were thousands of similar ones, there were still some things that should be there, so she said nothing. He would give up his weapons easily, and what Izayoi just said was probably just a small trap created by the Hakoba Center.
"What should we do?"
"It is said that a large area of islands south of here is the territory of the Ming Empire. If we don't enter the port, how will we get supplies?"
Hearing Annie's answer, Feiniao was obviously worried and unwilling, so she hurriedly asked questions without waiting for others to speak.
“If that doesn’t work, just buy it from the villages along the way or from the boats you encounter on the road!”
(ψ｀▽′)o
Anne didn't find it difficult to deal with such small problems. After all, they only had one hundred and ten people on one ship, and their supplies were mainly food and water. Ammunition was sufficient at the moment. As long as they saved their money, they would wait until they reached America. Just 'borrow' it from those pirates and colonists.
"The village is easy to talk about!"
"Can……"
"Other ships may not sell supplies to us, right?"
Asuka didn't believe Annie's lies.
She knows that merchant ships or contestants like them who are doing business at sea will definitely not easily trust anyone or allow any ship to approach, and their actions and reactions when they encountered Bai Yasha's fleet before are proof of this. !
On the sea of this era, if any ship sees a strange ship approaching, it will think it is a pirate and instinctively guard against it and stay away. There is no doubt about it!
"It doesn't matter!"
乛乛
"If our ship has more cannons and guns, they will definitely sell it!"
()hey-hey!
Annie said proudly.
Especially in this sea area, it would be easier if most of the communities were disarmed!
She didn't believe it. When the opportunity came, she would catch them and launch dozens of cannons at them. How dare those people not sell her anything?
(…)
(lll￢￢)
"!!"
"Can't!"
"That is an act of piracy, and you will be wanted by the terrible Ming Empire Navy!"
"That's right!"
"Annie, don't mess around!"
Hearing this, Kuon Asuka and Kasukabe Yoshi were both shocked.
You know, those majestic giant ships outside the Manila port just now caused huge psychological pressure on them. If Annie went crazy and was hunted down by the other party, it was really hard for them to imagine whether they would be able to leave this place alive by then. sea area.
"What pirate?"
ε=(ˇεˇ))) Bah! !
"They didn't rob or fire. At most they just used force to buy and sell by force. It's not like they didn't pay!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
"Do not worry!"
()
"It's okay even if you're being hunted. It's just a gift game. As long as you leave this island and enter the ocean, no one will care about those bad things!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two people, Anne had no choice but to patiently say a few words of relief.
In Anne's view, the sea is vast, and there is no such positioning device in this era. It is really difficult to find a ship out of thin air. Not to mention that they don't have piracy, even if they do, Anne The Queen also has plenty of ways to evade pursuit!
Anyway!
The matter was decided just like that, and the problems that Black Rabbit, Asuka and others were worried about were not a problem at all in Annie's opinion!
"Let's go!"
(ˊ〇ˋ*)
"Let's continue heading south and see if we can meet some kind-hearted boatmen on the way?"
()hey-hey!
After finishing speaking, Anne did not intend to return to the port that Kuroto and Izayoi had just seen. Instead, she continued southward, preparing to find an opportunity to 'resupply on the spot' and then directly cross the spicy islands. Enter that long, long voyage.

Seeing that Annie had made a decision, Kuro Usagi, Izayoi, Asuka, Kasukabe and others naturally looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
