After solving the problem of supplies and ship repairs in the Spicy Islands, also known as the Guawa Islands, the nameless community of the Bear Head Faction, which only took a short rest, set sail again and headed south directly to the Pacific Ocean to begin their long expedition.
As we all know, sailing depends on the weather. Ocean currents and wind direction play a vital role in sailing. In this era of sailing, if you want to cross the Pacific without relying on ocean currents, the end will generally not be good.
Therefore, Annie, Black Rabbit and others naturally thought of it together with a considerable number of contestants. They took advantage of the South Pacific circulation and used the westerly drift behind and the cold current in South America. After going through untold hardships, it took nearly two years to After months, and even 'borrowing' supplies from several ships along the way, and sinking some unscrupulous contestants, I finally arrived at the Cayenne Port in South America, and finally arrived in the Caribbean.
Since the Spanish and Dutch European colonists here did not have strict requirements and restrictions on the arming level of the participants like the Ming Empire Navy in the Naguawa Islands before, you only need to pay a certain amount when you see the port. After paying the port fee and being able to dock, replenish and clear the ship, Annie, Black Rabbit and others naturally happily entered the port and carried out some supplies and repairs before hurriedly setting off again.
They did not stop. After all, the port of Cayenne was only less than ten days' voyage from the destination port of Veracruz. Black Rabbit, who was eager to reach the destination as soon as possible, win and advance, would definitely not allow Annie or Izayoi and others continued to delay even more time.
certainly!
Although it was less than ten days' voyage from the destination of victory, when they were at the port, everyone in the Xiongtou Anonymous Community still got bad news, that is:
Many Pirates of the Caribbean didn't know where they got the gossip. They heard that every contestant's ship was filled with boxes of gold coins and gold bars?
Ever since, a long-planned pirate feast began.
Countless famous or unknown Caribbean pirate ships began to appear on the Caribbean seas, and the taverns of various ports and docks were also crowded with countless sailors. They stared at each ship that successfully arrived with greedy and malicious eyes. Once they find the target, they will follow it in various ways. Then at the right time, they will pounce on it and take a bite out of it, leaving behind a burning and sunken sailboat. and the floating corpses before walking away.
even……
According to reliable sources, even those Spanish and Dutch colonists, armed merchant ships and even regular army warships are eyeing the fleet of contestants coming from afar?
But fortunately, those people are a little different from the pirates.
They are relatively reserved and have rules in doing things. In short, they just need to be more shameless?
Although the colonization and plundering work they engage in is no more decent than that of pirates, at most they only do it in remote sea areas, or directly sell information to professional pirates and collude with each other to collect a certain percentage of the benefits.
In short, it is safe in and around various ports. No matter pirates or some bandits in official guise, they will definitely not and dare not take action easily.
But even that was enough to make Black Rabbit, Izayoi and others who had obtained the above information feel that the rain was about to come and they were frightened.
Isn’t this?
"..."
From the first day after leaving Cayenne Port, Black Rabbit has been holding the telescope at the bow of the ship and acting as the second lookout. Together with the NPC lookout on the mast, he has been closely vigilant and observing. The sailing boat is sailing around the surrounding waters.
"!!"
"That is……"
At this moment, on the afternoon of the second day after leaving Cayenne Port, Black Rabbit suddenly discovered a sneaky small fast sailing ship less than twenty nautical miles away. From the opponent's appearance and flag, she could It was judged that the other party was the one that had been following them at a distance since they left the port.
Originally, Black Rabbit thought that the other party was also heading towards the Caribbean Sea, so he didn't pay much attention to it at first. However, now he saw that the other party was obviously faster than them and was originally in front of them, but now he ran away again. When we got to the back, we deliberately slowed down, which more or less explained some problems.
"not good!"
"Izayoi!"
"We're being targeted!"
After taking another look and making sure, Black Rabbit suddenly lost his composure when he remembered some rumors. He quickly put down the telescope and looked at Ten who was taking a lunch break while swinging in the hammock between the two masts on the deck. Rokuye shouted.
"Targeted?"
"What's targeting you?"
Izayoi just raised his eyes and glanced at Black Rabbit, without making any further movements or reactions. He continued to lie on his hammock, looking lazy and carefree.
"It's a pirate!"
"We seem to have been targeted by a pirate's boat!"
"That ship behind!"
"You've been following us for two days!"
With that said, Black Rabbit hurriedly ran to the edge of the ship and pointed to a small boat behind the ship's sailing direction and said excitedly.
"pirate?"
"oh……"
"If they want to follow, then let them follow!"
He turned around and glanced, but couldn't see clearly. Izayoi waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to care.
"If you have anything to do, go to Annie..."
"She's the captain?"
After saying that, Izayoi lay back down again and took a hat to cover his face.
It wasn't that he didn't want to take care of it, but in the past few weeks of the voyage, except for losing a bet with little Annie at the beginning and having to wipe the deck for a month, he had basically nothing to do on the ship.
Captain Anne was responsible for issuing orders and determining the route. Captain Anne was the personal secretary of the three captains, Kuroto, Kasukabe, and Asuka, who assisted in the command. It was Captain Anne who personally conducted the cannon battles and command with brilliant results, and he was known as the fighting captain. , until now, I have never really made a move!
Not even once!
Therefore, Izayoi had already understood that this part of the competition was the same as the previous two parts. He basically had nothing to do with him. Black Rabbit could do whatever he wanted, so he could just wait and win anyway.
"you!!"
"snort!"
First, he glared at Izayoi with hatred, and then, after thinking about it, he felt that what the other party said seemed to be right. He really should go to Annie for this matter, so he could only stamp his foot, then quickly walked back, and soon Rushed into the captain's cabin.
"!!"
"Ouch!"
Then, of course, the furious Black Rabbit collided with Kasukabe Yoshi, who came out with the tableware. Then, the two rolled directly into each other, and successfully made the wooden and silver tableware fall to the ground.
"Woo!"
"it hurts……"
"Black Rabbit!"
"What are you doing?"
"What happened again?!"
While getting up and rubbing his butt and the back of his head that fell on the floor, Kasukabe asked Black Rabbit angrily.
"problem occurs!"
"Annie!"
"We're being targeted!"
"It's a pirate!"
First she gave Kasukabe an apologetic look, and then she didn't need to explain. She just helped him clean up and let him go out first, then hurriedly rushed to the other side of the sofa and faced Kasukabe who had just eaten and was currently drinking with Kuon Asuka. Annie, sipping a cup of hot cocoa, reported anxiously.
"Really coming?"
Nodding, without waiting for Anne to respond, the long-lasting bird sighed and took a sip of the cocoa powder she had just brewed.
"really!"
"I knew we wouldn't be able to escape. The Hakoba Central Committee wouldn't let us reach our destination so easily!"
"How abominable!"
It was one of the specialties of the South American port where they docked and resupplied before. They chose some of the best, ground them into powder and brewed them directly to drink. The taste was much better than that of modern society on earth two or three hundred years later. For a product that contains all kinds of messy things and pesticide residues, this is countless times better!
Of course, they came here not for enjoyment, but for competition. Therefore, she first expressed her dissatisfaction with the Hakoba Center, then put down the cup and added:
"Do not worry!"
"Black Rabbit, it's useless to be nervous, you can't avoid it!"
"I finally figured it out. The Hakoba Center is very cunning. It didn't have good intentions when it sent us a ship and a large amount of property at the same time. I'm afraid it's just waiting for this moment!"
"First they disarmed most of our participating community ships in Nanyang, and then they set a trap here..."
"Hmph!"
"If Anne hadn't had the foresight, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do anything to deal with those pirates right now?"
"But fortunately, our ships now have more guns and cannons. Ordinary pirates will definitely not be able to defeat us if the ship comes with a small size, and they will not be able to catch up with us if the ship comes with a big ship. So, don't worry, nothing will happen!"
After saying that, Jiuyuan Feiniao picked up the cup and took a sip of the hot cocoa, and looked at little Annie sitting opposite her with some admiration.
Fortunately, when she was on Guawa Island, Annie didn't listen to her advice and refused to dock and abandoned her martial arts. Otherwise, she would have to regret it and die now?
"..."
Black Rabbit is not as optimistic as Kuon Asuka, nor does he want to be as lazy and lazy as Izayoi. After all, they have worked so hard to get here, and she does not want to fall short and be eliminated before the finish line.
"Annie?"
"What can you do?"
So, after pausing and thinking about it, she still looked at Anne with some uneasiness and asked eagerly.
"What's the solution?"
(.)
"Um……"
(′～`●)
"It would be easier if there was a refrigerator."
ヾ(^▽^*)))
After looking at Black Rabbit for a while, and then looking at the cup of hot cocoa held in her hands, Annie suddenly said this out of nowhere.
"??"
"refrigerator?"
"What's the deal with the refrigerator?"
Blinking, Black Rabbit was stunned for a moment, and then had no idea what Annie meant.
"Ha ha!"
"What Annie means is: if you have a refrigerator, you can make chocolate and eat it!"
"We bought a lot of cocoa beans!"
Seeing the stupid look on Black Rabbit's face, Asuka beside him had no choice but to put down his cup and patiently explained this sentence with a half-smile.
"!!"
"And chocolate?"
"How long has it been and you still want to eat?"
"Annie!"
"I don't care, the pirates are really coming, you have to think of a way!"
"And you, Asuka!"
Black Rabbit was so anxious that he stood up and shouted angrily at the two of them.
"!?"
"Report to Lord Black Rabbit!"
"This matter has nothing to do with me!"
Seeing this, Kuyuan Asuka quickly raised her hand to signal Black Rabbit not to drag the matter into her carelessly.
Because Anne is their captain, and all decisions are made by Anne. For a long time, Feiniao is just a personal secretary and companion who eats, drinks, plays, and sleeps with her. Come up with bad ideas.
"..."
(｀●)
"Hey! Sister Black Rabbit, what are you in a hurry for?"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"No matter how worried you are, those pirates will come, and we must defeat them before we can go to that destination. There can be no other changes to these two things!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Since there is no way to change it, the only thing we can do is wait for them to come!"
(ˊ〇ˋ*)
Anne was obviously disapproving of Black Rabbit's surprise, and then just said this.
"But!"
"That small boat has been hovering around us and monitoring our movements, so we just don't do anything?"
Black Rabbit didn't want to be stared at all the time. In her opinion, it was a huge safety hazard, which she couldn't bear.
"??"
(**;)
"How about, Sister Black Rabbit, you take out all our boxes of treasures and give them to them so that they don't follow us anymore?"
|ω)
After thinking about it, Annie could only suggest this.
Anyway, she was not short of money, and she couldn't take the money back, and the supplies they had before were enough to reach their destination, so even if they handed it all over, she would definitely have no problem with it.
"no!"
"Those are pirates!"
"Even if we hand them all over, they will definitely think that we still have some, and maybe they will ask to come on board for inspection?"
"besides!"
"We've heard, haven't we? After stealing everything, those pirates will kill people and burn ships. Some of them will also steal and insult women. How can we compromise with such evil guys?"
"If they dare to come, we must not let them off lightly!"
Black Rabbit Justice spoke loudly and angrily.
She doesn't want to negotiate with those guys, especially now that they can't use their gifted abilities. She doesn't want to negotiate with those pirates, and she won't allow them to approach their ship easily!
"Then there's no way!"
(︵`)
"We can only move on and wait for them to come to us!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
That's indeed the case. Anne saw the small speedboat cruising in the periphery yesterday. However, with the current speed of their ship, they really had no choice but to stop and find a place to hide. To go to that destination, so besides waiting for the other party to attack, Queen Anne really has no other good solution.
After all, she couldn't cheat blatantly or secretly. If it was too obvious, she would be discovered and it might not end well?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Is this the only way?"
"Is there really no other way?"
Black Rabbit still refused to give up. Apparently he was still a little unwilling to deal with the passive defense method that Anne mentioned. He just wanted to squeeze out some reliable and good method from Anne's little brain.
"No!"
()
"How about we unite with other communities?"
"Anyway, there are only more than 20 people who have arrived at the destination now, and there are still many places available!"
Black Rabbit thought for a while, then suddenly came up with an idea and came up with her solution.
"No way!"
()
"Sister Black Rabbit, haven't you heard about it too?"
☆(o*ω)
"Before, there was a community that gathered dozens of ships and prepared to forcefully pass through the Caribbean Sea. However, it ended up attracting a joint attack by pirates from hundreds of ships. In the end, not even a single ship escaped. It was clearly a trap set by the Hakoba Center. ah!"
()
"The more ships there are, the greater the scale of the attack will be. That must be the case!"
(▽)
"so!"
(ω)
"We have absolutely no other better way except to keep moving forward and wait for the crisis that can be solved by one of our ships to come to us!"
ヾ(￣▽￣)
After saying that, Annie continued to pick up the cup and drank it regardless.
"That……"
"Then I'll go out and make arrangements with Izayoi!"
"He and I take turns on duty, day and night. We must not allow pirates to take advantage of us!"
Seeing that Annie had no good way to avoid danger, Black Rabbit, who had been struggling for a long time, had no choice but to grit his teeth, stamp his feet, and quickly ran out of the captain's room again.
"??"
"What happened to Black Rabbit? Why did she get so startled?"
At this time, Kasukabe Yoshi, who had finished washing the dishes and cutlery, came back, and looked at the black rabbit strangely who almost bumped into her again when he ran out and asked.
"Leave her alone."
"correct!"
"Annie..."
"Tell me, when will the pirates attack us?"
Feiniao didn't explain much, but suddenly asked a little nervously and excitedly.
"have no idea!"
()
"At our speed, if the wind is favorable, we can reach our destination in five days at the earliest. Maybe the pirates will come within two or three days, right?"
(｀)
Anne was also a little unsure, and besides, she didn't care about that kind of thing.
From Annie's point of view, pirates and other things come as they please, and they don't pull them down if they don't come. She won't sit idle and worry about those guys all day long!
In fact, in Anne's mind, it was the pirates who should be worried?
"Two or three days?"
"That's it..."
"That's good, I can still have a good rest for two days!"
Nodding, Asuka did not comment, but continued to pick up her cup of cocoa and taste it carefully.
The third round of the competition is quite good except that it is time-consuming and boring. For example, the cup of American specialty in her hand from the Great Discovery Period is better than the ones she had on her earth. This high-sounding luxury food would be more attractive to her, the eldest lady of the Jiuyuan family!
But...
What Jiuyuan Feiniao never expected was that Anne guessed wrong after all, because those pirates actually came to her door that night.
night……
The clouds in the sky were thick, there were no stars or moon, and it was so dark on the sea that it was almost impossible to see!
At this moment, a standard two-masted clipper with black sails and hull quietly approached the large ship of the Bear Head Unnamed Community that had to slow down its speed because of the night. Fortune ship.
Gala~!
Not only was it sneaking closer, but as the distance gradually shortened, it opened the baffles of the gun doors one after another, and then pushed out the sixteen cannons on one side of the hull, like a cheetah lurking in the night. , secretly revealing its ferocious fangs towards its prey.
"Aha!"
"Another big prey has arrived!"
"Today, it belongs to me, Captain Jack Sparrow."
At this time, on the standard ketch with black sails and hull, a somewhat effeminate captain wearing a flamboyant captain's hat and holding an orchid finger was looking proudly into the distance. The huge lucky ship with only a few wind lanterns swaying, a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his gold teeth faintly flashed a golden light in the darkness.
That's right!
He is the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow!
He is a legendary pirate who has traveled across the four oceans. This time, he was invited by the Hakoba Center to come here to make a guest appearance and give lessons to the contestants, which means adding to the trouble!
It is said that at the same time, there were other pirates and countless versions of him from countless planes and worlds who were invited by the Center of the Little Garden?
But that's not important. What's important is that the big ship he's targeting tonight is already doomed!
Although, he had turned a regular job and stopped being a pirate for many years after meeting a bad little girl, but his business ability has not declined much at all. Not to mention anything else, just to So far, his glorious record of wandering in the Caribbean waters and successfully robbing dozens of ships is enough for him to be proud of.
So far, he has never failed!
Moreover, he specially selected those players who performed well to attack them ruthlessly, and successfully captured at least two hundred boxes of treasures!
And those things are the recognition and the highest honor of the Hakoba Center for his business ability. After the game, those wealth will become his personal property, enough for him to be a rich man in his own plane world and do whatever he wants. .
Of course, compared to that kind of thing, what Captain Jack cares more about is the pleasure of being ordered to hunt. For example, the large fortune ship in front of him now?
This time, he had a great time killing. He had done all kinds of unscrupulous things that pirates should do, and at the same time, he did not have to worry about being condemned in terms of conscience and morality.
Although……
He has never had such things as conscience and morality?
"Shh!"
"Keep your voice down!"
As he was thinking about it, Jack suddenly reached out and slapped a frizzy pirate next to him on the head, signaling him to squat down and stop moving.
The distance between the two sides is now within two hundred meters, but this is not enough!
Because Jack planned to slowly get closer and get within thirty to fifty meters. At that time, he would suddenly hit the opponent with a round of artillery fire from the side, and take advantage of the opponent's chaos to hit him and start jumping. battle, and then you can end the battle and clean up the battlefield.
You know, sneak attacks in the dark are the specialty of the Black Pearl, especially on such a dark, moonless night. It works every time, and he never believes that there will be any surprises.
"It's close..."
"Get closer..."
"That's right!"
"Baby, that's it..."
"While they are sleeping soundly, let's..."
Seeing that he was getting closer, Captain Jack, who was nervously twisting his waist with his orchid fingers, came to the bow of the ship and whispered excitedly. He also grabbed a torch, prepared to light the torch and ordered the cannon to be fired, and then started First rave tonight.
After grabbing this one, he had to grab another one. After all, his business ability was too strong. The Hakoba Center sent him a list of more than ten outstanding boats and the list of contestants in the area. Therefore, he An order must be completed quickly.
Unfortunately……
"!?"
"W-what?!"
Very suddenly!
As they silently approached each other at a distance of about a hundred meters, and were about to fire when they got closer, the large ship opposite suddenly lit up lanterns and torches, and the hull of the ship was directly destroyed. And the sea surface dozens of meters away is shining red?
At the same time, the opponent's dark cannons were pushed out of the cannon doors and aimed at them cruelly.
At the same time, Jack also saw that at the moment when the light came on, a ferocious bear-headed flag was slowly raised by a sailor, and it was swaying in the wind at the wind lantern next to the lookout hand at the top of the mast. .
"Bear head?"
"Oooh!"
"I see."
"So, that's what it's like..."
Looking at the familiar flag, Jack seemed to understand something. Then, while he suddenly exclaimed in wonder, the torch in his hand that had not had a chance to be lit slumped onto the dark deck.
'fire! ! ! '
At this time, a fierce and sharp girl's voice sounded from the boat opposite.
boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom!
The next second!
The dense and terrifying artillery fire roared towards Jack and his Black Pearl at close range, accurately and fiercely!
In an instant!
Under the instant bombardment of dozens of solid artillery shells, he and his Black Pearl were instantly submerged in the fire, thick smoke, wood debris, shattered limbs, and blood...
