The old man's shout attracted the attention of the three of Aoun.
"What is Mysterio? Is this guy famous?"
Before the new round of shelling hit, Aoun hurriedly asked the old man with a mustache for information about the "Mysterious Visitor".
Mustache hid behind a large wooden barrel, exposed half of his head and said cautiously:
"Mysterio is an unknown strongman who suddenly appeared in the West China Sea in the past six months. No one knows whether he is a marine, a pirate or a bounty hunter. They don't know what he looks like or whether he is a boy or a girl.
All I know is that this guy will launch a bombardment at the pirate ship he is targeting from a distance that cannot even be seen with a telescope.
Moreover, once Mysterio's bombardment is launched, he will not stop. Even if everyone on the ship kneels down and begs for mercy, he will not stop until the ship is completely sunk.
In the past six months, he has targeted several famous pirate groups in the West Sea.
None of the targeted pirate groups were spared, and all the captains were blown to pieces, leaving only the lucky ones who could drift to the nearby shore on broken boards, spreading the reputation of Mysterio everywhere! "
"But the problem is... we haven't hung the pirate flag on our ship yet, right?"
Aoun's words almost burned up Mustache's CPU, and he was stunned for a long time without being able to speak.
However, Aoun showed interest after asking this question.
However, before he could form any further inferences in his mind, Yamato issued another early warning:
"This time there are five cannonballs flying over. One of them will not hit our ship, and the remaining four will fall on the ship."
Yamato said and wanted to continue to intercept these shells, but before she could make a move, Aoun grabbed her wrist and stopped her:
"Leave the defense to me and Rhea. You are the only one on the ship who can use the color of sight to determine the specific location of the shells. If you are unable to use the color of sight because of seasickness, we are really doomed."
As he spoke, Aoun concentrated on observing the bombardment that might fall at any time, while tearing off the Lion King used to prevent injuries during practice and throwing it to Rhea:
"I'll be in charge of the front half of the defense ship, and you'll be in charge of the second half. You must be careful not to let that guy sink the ship!"
"clear!"
After Rhea responded, he tied up the Lion King and hurried towards the stern of the ship.
boom!
The first shell flew over first and did not hit the Gospel. Instead, it hit the sea a few meters away from the bow of the ship, setting off a huge wave that was enough to obscure the sight of everyone on the ship.
Immediately afterwards, four cannonballs penetrated the water curtain formed by huge waves and struck the bow and stern of the ship respectively.
Aoun's reaction was very fast. He reacted almost as soon as the shell penetrated the water curtain. He first used a magma ball to detonate one shell in advance, and then took out a hammer and directly smashed away another one that was attacking him.
But Rhea's side did not go so smoothly. Although the Lion King could enhance her speed, due to the lack of long-range attack methods, she could only intercept one of the two shells that landed at different points. , as for the other cannonball, you can only try to deflect it from the direction of flight as much as possible, so as not to cause too much damage to the hull.
boom!
The cannonball that deviated from its flight path finally landed on a jib mast on the ship. While breaking the jib mast, it also burned the surrounding decks black.
Seeing that the auxiliary mast was blown off, Rhea blamed himself and was angry, and couldn't help but suggest:
"No, Captain, this is not the way to go! We have to find that bastard."
"It's easy to say, but now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, and he should be alone. If he wants to escape, there is no way we can catch up with him." Aoun raised his hand to signal Rhea to calm down.
"Then what should we do? Should we just stay where we are and be a living target?"
Tsk~
Almost the moment Rhea finished speaking, a sound like pouring a ladle of cold water on hot steel suddenly sounded, followed immediately by a large cloud of mist that completely covered the entire Gospel.
Under Rhea's surprised gaze, Aoun retracted his arm that was stretched out to the sea and still contained magma. He turned to Rhea and showed a big smile:
"Since the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, then let everyone be in the dark!"
Rhea was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but pat his thigh:
"Yes, in this case, that bastard can't determine our position, so naturally he won't be able to continue firing!"
While speaking, Rhea took the initiative to run towards the position of the rudder, controlling the ship to change positions in the thick fog.
"Captain, what should we do next? Leave here, or find a way to catch him?"
Rhea was not one who was willing to suffer losses. After waiting for a moment, and seeing that the other party really seemed to have stopped bombarding due to the obstruction of her vision, her heart immediately became alive.
Contrary to Rhea and Yamato's expectations, Aoun did not choose between going and staying. Instead, he took a different approach and said:
"Stay where you are and wait and see... I have one more thing I want to confirm."
"What's going on?" the two asked curiously.
Aoun gave up and did not answer the two people's questions directly, but quietly waited for the fog to dissipate.
Under the influence of the sea breeze, the thick fog thinned and dispersed little by little, but Ornn still did not see the expected shells coming.
Just when he thought he had guessed wrong, he suddenly heard Yamato next to him shout excitedly:
"There is a boat! I can sense a small boat approaching us!"
After hearing this, Rhea immediately took out the telescope, and cursed to observe who was sitting on the small boat, while Orn stood at the bow of the boat until the distance between the two sides was only about a hundred meters. He said loudly:
"I thought that after the fog dissipated, you would launch another attack as a test."
After a moment, a hoarse and deep male voice came from the other side:
"No need, you are indeed more powerful than all the pirates I met in the West Sea before, and... my cannonballs are very expensive."
As he spoke, the man jumped onto the deck of the Gospel, allowing Aoun and others to see his appearance clearly.
This is a man with a tough guy style, with a thick beard, about thirty years old, wearing a special sniper scope on his right eye, and the right hand part is replaced by a black cannon.
Aoun looked at the man who jumped onto the deck and asked his final question:
"When did you know that I was the Ornn on the bounty order?"
The man responded calmly:
"About half a month ago... It's a coincidence. If I hadn't accidentally seen the battle between you and Lao Cai of the Babao Navy, I really wouldn't have thought that we could set a record of Gundam in the Western Sea. Ornn, who has seventy million beli, is so young."
"Did you wait for half a month to find a chance to test my strength? It seems that you really value me." Aoun said with a smile.
Rhea and Yamato on the side were full of question marks at this time, and they almost had the words "The Riddler get out of the Gospel" written on their faces...
