Black Jack stood on the observation deck and loudly announced the arrangements to the pirates below.
"Everyone checks the equipment. If the equipment is damaged, go to the old blacksmith to get it."
"Healing potion, energy potion, and enlightenment potion. Prepare at least two for each person. If there are not enough, go to Muken."
"Milus, stop cleaning your sniper rifle, and hurry up and prepare more enlightenment potions and bullets."
"The same goes for other gunners. You will be the main force in the next battle. Kill all those bastards on the Araniga!"
"..."
Although Black Jack believed in Euan's strength, he also knew that the people on the Aranica chasing behind were not weak.
In addition to first mate "Ripper" Domitri Pruitt, there are also second mates "Bloodthirsty General" Ladson Dionisio, boatswain "Ghost Blade" Manolo Portugal...
Although only Domitri has reached the legendary level, his strength is also at the top of the legendary level.
At least Black Jack knew that he was no match for Domitri.
When he thought of this, unknown anger surged in his heart.
If it weren't for Suad and the forbidden object he controlled, how could Domitri be his opponent?
"You bastards, move faster!"
At this time, the pirates on the deck were also making their own preparations.
They all knew that Black Jack's arrangement at this time must have decided to start a battle with the Araniga in the rear.
"Captain Marco, there are a lot of bullets this time."
"certainly."
Marco took out the hairband and tied up the red hair again, with a relaxed smile on his face, "I still provided the drawings for making the bullets, and the old blacksmith promised me that the bullet tubes would be enough."
"That's good. I almost died from the lack of bullets just now." A gunman holding an [Explosion Sniper Rifle] said with a smile.
"Rolph, what's more, you just fired a lot of guns and equipped you with a scope. You still can't shoot accurately..."
"Boss, don't say it, don't say it, it was my fault..."
Marco smiled and cursed, then turned to look at the dark clouds behind and the pursuing Araniga.
He knew that the relaxation and comfort at this moment were preparations for the upcoming battle.
"The calm before the storm," Mosquera frowned and asked, "Marco, fighting pirates is no better than deep-sea aberrations. Don't rush forward like you did before."
"I see."
Marco nodded, but he couldn't help but feel worried.
The deep-sea aberrations have no intelligence. Although they are powerful, these experienced pirates can deal with them fairly easily.
But if there is a war with the Araniga, the gunmen in their team are likely to be targeted by the opponent.
He is fully aware of the power of those [explosive sniper rifles].
Fighting the deep-sea deformed mutants can only be dealt with with a few shots, but if you hit the pirates... maybe you can't just shoot them one at a time?
By then, the people on board the Araniga will have to fight tooth and nail to deal with them?
"The station needs to be rearranged later. Maybe I should ask Boss Black Jack to suggest that the gunners stay in the cabin."
"This is better."
Mosquera knew that he had an idea, so he said nothing and turned to chat with the other pirates.
Marco looked up at the observation deck above, to be precise, at Black Jack standing there.
After thinking for a few seconds, he jumped onto the observation deck.
"Boss."
"Is something wrong?" Black Jack glanced at him and asked.
"That's right, I want to arrange the team's gunners into the cabin or protect them." Marco explained his purpose directly.
"Cabin?" Black Jack thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay. But I have a question. What do you think of the power of those guns?"
"Very strong!"
"oh?"
Marco pointed to the corpses of the deep-sea mutants that were thrown overboard, and explained: "According to my observation, those sniper rifles can easily tear apart the bodies of director-level extraordinary beings."
"And if they are at the executive level, as long as they hit the wound on their body, the effect of the death characteristic will be triggered."
"That's it..."
Black Jack nodded. Previously, all his attention was on the rear storm and the Araniga, and he did not pay much attention to the effect of the gunmen using the [explosive sniper rifle].
Looking at it now, in the next battle with Domitri and the others, the breaking point is likely to be those gunmen.
Thinking of this, Black Jack patted Marco on the shoulder, "Take your people to find Milus, and he will tell you the specific location."
"good."
Marco nodded heavily, jumped off the observation deck and led the team towards the rear cabin.
At this time, in the cabin on the other side, Euan looked at the weak Walid and sat quietly aside.
"Damn it, I wish I were stronger!"
Walid's face was pale and his figure was even thinner than before the battle. He said bitterly: "Second Officer Yoan, in the next battle we..."
"We will win." Euan said calmly.
"But……"
Walid's eyes fell on the forbidden object made of the Abyss Commander-level devil horn. The illusory figure faintly flashed on it, which was a sign that he was about to lose control.
When the illusory figure solidifies a little more, it will take the initiative to blow the storm horn.
Trigger more terrifying storms and tsunamis, and summon the terrifying beings hidden in the deep sea.
"Once the Stormhorn gets out of control, I'm worried it will make our situation even more difficult."
"Nothing could be worse than now."
Euan glanced at the time, reached out and held the storm horn, stood up and walked out.
"Waleed, you have a good rest and leave the rest to us. You have to believe in Black Jack, me, and everyone on the ship!"
Walid's face showed anxiety, and looking at his back, he felt inexplicably relieved.
Although he didn't get along with this "epidemic doctor" for a long time, he found that in many cases, the "epidemic doctor" was more reliable than Black Jack.
He looked at his hands and sighed quietly.
"My strength has returned to the director level again. I must not use that forbidden object indiscriminately in the future."
When he saw Euan appearing outside the cabin, Black Jack's eyes narrowed, and he quickly jumped off the observation deck and ran over.
"Should we start?"
"Um."
Euan nodded, took the storm horn across the slightly quiet deck, and came to the back of the ship's bow statue under the gaze of everyone.
"Jack, get ready for a bigger storm."
Black Jack understood, looked at the pirates on the deck, and shouted calmly: "Everyone, prepare to fight!"
"yes"
All the pirates looked serious and clenched their weapons.
"When this battle is over, I will take you to a grand dinner!" Black Jack glanced around, grinned, and shouted: "Victory will definitely belong to our Black Pearl!"
"Victory will definitely belong to us, the Black Pearl!"
"..."
Euan didn't pay attention to the mobilization behind him. He slowly placed the storm horn on the bow of the ship, took a few steps back, and coldly repeated the same words several times.
"Forbidden Object 2-14 Storm Horn..."
And as he spoke, the shadow on the half-man-high storm horn flashed rapidly, as if responding to him.
Not only that, some blue lines gradually appeared on the horn, and a dull sound came from inside.
"Woo——"
The long horn sound seems to have spanned time, bringing some murmurs.
"... He is in the kingdom of storms, has authority over wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and rules over the sea..."
"Since His birth, the world..."
"The Great Storm Lady..."
The voice was slightly low, with no words at the beginning or end, and it was more like countless people singing.
The pirates on the deck were alert. Although they didn't know the specific plan, it seemed that they were going to use the Stormhorn's loss of control to deal with the Araniga behind.
However, the pirates who had had similar experiences several times were not too panicked.
At least they all know that Boss Blackjack and Walid know how to get out of control.
And as the sound of the storm horn echoed on the Bekli, it seemed to awaken a giant beast that had been sleeping for a long time.
The waves on the sea suddenly became turbulent, as if a pair of invisible giant hands were manipulating the sea water, creating huge whirlpools.
At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky gathered at an alarming speed, as if they were about to collapse, covering everyone below.
Several bolts of lightning shuttled through the clouds, followed by violent thunder.
Looking at the storm behind, the thick clouds there seemed to be being diverted by some kind of force, and even the tornado in the center seemed a bit weaker.
Such a change was immediately noticed by the people who were closely pursuing the Araniga.
"The forbidden object is out of control? Sure enough."
Domitri sneered, looked up at the gathering clouds ahead, estimated the time, waved his hand and said, "Get ready to fight!"
"We have been preparing for a long time, boss."
"I can't wait to get on the Bekli and kill them all!"
"Get rid of Black Jack and the others and see if the 'Emperor of the Sea' still dares not to take us seriously!"
"Hahaha……"
At the same time, the shadow on the Storm Horn became more and more obvious. It seemed to have a will of its own, and the horn sound became louder and longer.
The sea water was agitated as if it were boiling, and huge waves piled up one after another, as if they were going to swallow everything.
"Hurry, hold on to the fixed rope!" Marco shouted, his voice almost drowned by the roar of the storm.
The pirates held onto the rope tightly to steady themselves.
"coming soon."
Euan watched the abyss demon on the horn gradually become clearer, then turned around and walked back.
"Jack, I leave this to you."
"Okay!" Black Jack took a deep breath, "Stop the boat and lower the anchor!"
He knew that all he could do now was trust Euan.
If even the "epidemic doctors" can't solve the troublesome gravediggers at the rear, I'm afraid they will have no choice but to flee in embarrassment.
Or maybe he won’t be killed?
"Haha, I've been chased by that gang for so long, and I'm finally going to fight back. This time I'll give those bastards a taste of their power."
"Milus, don't be polite later, kill me hard!"
"You're welcome? Ha, I can poke holes in their heads!"
At Black Jack's call, the pirates on the deck entered fighting mode one after another. Some of them were manipulating the turrets, while others were holding their swords tightly, preparing for the upcoming battle.
The gunmen holding [explosion sniper rifles] have also found a suitable shooting position in the cabin. Their eyes are fixed on the Araniga in the distance, ready to fire at any time.
At this moment, the shadow on the Storm Horn solidified and stopped flickering.
The great devil of the abyss glanced around with a ferocious smile, grinning and speaking in Gonzalez language.
"The storm is coming!"
This sentence seemed to trigger some kind of taboo. The whirlpool on the sea became larger and larger, and thunder suddenly exploded in the sky.
Every bolt of lightning seemed to tear apart the heaven and earth, and every thunder shook the heart.
No, not just a storm at sea!
Along with the storm, there were scarlet eyes that gradually lit up hiding in the surrounding waves.
The deep-sea species jumped out of the sea one after another, and their eyes fell on the storm horn on the Bekli.
"Roar--"
This crazy roar seems to be the last sound that overwhelms the balance.
The storm clouds caused by the gravedigger suddenly collided with the clouds caused by the horn's out-of-control horn. They blended with each other, but they seemed to be a collision of forces.
Countless lightnings cut across the dark sea surface, striking each other and melting into each other.
The Araniga, which was at the center of the two huge storms, also quickly caught up with the slowing down Bekli.
Domitri stared at Black Jack and the others on the deck, with a cruel smile on his face.
After waiting for so long, it’s finally time to reap the fruits!
"Ten kilometers away..."
"Five kilometers..."
Black Jack raised his hand and shouted coldly: "Gunner, prepare!"
"three……"
"Shoot!" Black Jack's voice sounded sharply in the storm.
The shooters with [Explosive Sniper Rifles] opened fire immediately, and the sound of the gunfire was particularly harsh in the storm.
The bullets blessed by the rapidity and explosion runes passed through the wind and rain and shot towards the pirates on the Araniga.
On the Aranica, Domitri gave the same order.
"kill!"
The pirates hiding behind the thick metal shields were not to be outdone and pulled the mechanical cannon.
Along with the sudden appearance of fire, the deafening roar of cannons continued.
One by one, the cannonballs passed through the storm and hit the Bekli.
But soon, Domitri noticed something was wrong.
Those on the deck who were hit by bullets from the gunmen on the opposite side experienced strange changes in their bodies.
Some bodies withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their skin became like old skin.
Some pirates had fist-sized pustules emerging from their wounds, and they could only watch helplessly as the pustules burst, pus sprayed out, and they struggled and fell to the ground, and soon became silent.
There’s more…
If it were just one person, it could be understood as a gunman with special supernatural characteristics, but Domitri obviously found that those bullets came from different people.
But the effect is...
"Be careful to avoid the shooting from the opposite side, there is something wrong with those gunmen!"
Black Jack on the Bekli sneered, "Have you been discovered? Domitri, this time I will let you know the pain!"
Just when the two ships were about to collide, Euan quietly appeared in the center of the storm behind, approaching the carriage.
"oh?"
The gravedigger driving the carriage looked away from the battle ahead, turned his head slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Here he comes."
Euan's figure was revealed, looking at the carriage with a calm expression.
"Can you tell me the specific purpose of those 'Garmendia's Dreams'?"
"Ho ho..." The gravedigger laughed, "Kill me and you will find the answer!"
Seeing that he didn't answer, You An shook his head regretfully, and a thick book appeared in his hand.
On the blood-red cover, pale lines outline a figure in white.
"I hope you can really tell me the answer after you die..."
PS: Sorry, I’m so dizzy, that’s all I have to write today.
