When a fish jumps out of the water, it means it is struggling very hard!
And Tony has only shortened the distance by five or six meters from the first few dozen feet to now!
You must know that the explosive pulling force of such a huge fish is very huge. It is very difficult for Tony to force him onto the boat with manpower.
And walking fish is a very clever way to deal with big fish.
Use the lateral position to resolve the direct pulling force of the big fish, and repeatedly move it left and right to consume its physical strength!
If we say that in nature, human beings are actually inferior to many animals in terms of strength, destructive power, and speed, but there is only one thing that is enough to stand at the top of the earth.
Thanks to freeing hands and walking upright, human internal organs are the only animals that are not squeezed. A good chest cavity and well-developed sweat glands can provide excellent heat dissipation and recovery performance for the lungs.
This gives humans very strong endurance.
With continuous high-speed movement and continuous explosive power, reptiles, amphibians, and fish are all much weaker than terrestrial warm-blooded animals. They have three axes for hunting, and they will be useless after use.
Once fatigued, the reaction speed will drop significantly and the fighting spirit will completely collapse.
Especially fish, so their fighting or hunting and escaping are all pulse-based. They will violently toss a few times and then rest. During the intermission period, they are basically at the mercy of others.
However, tuna has red and white muscles that are much higher than the lactic acid metabolism capacity of other fish, giving tuna outstanding endurance, which also allows tuna to quickly recover its strength after chasing prey or avoiding enemies.
Tony began to take the figure-eight route, which could better squeeze every ounce of energy from the bluefin tuna and not give it any chance to breathe.
When it shows weakness, it's time for him to hit the target with one blow.
The night is dark, the waves are rolling, the low visibility and the waves will provide him with some big challenges.
But this only added to Tony's excitement.
"Calcifer!" Tony finally couldn't help calling Calcifer, "Help me speed up the castle and walk in a circle."
All his strength is used to support the fishing rod, and sometimes he cannot slip away at all. Calcifer is a good choice.
Calcifer was also happy to participate. While the castle was moving, Tony also used the sea rod and fishing reel in his hands to take the opportunity to reel in the line.
Half an hour later, Tony was exhausted and sweating profusely.
The huge blue-black shadow also gradually shortened from 25 meters to 15 meters, and finally shortened to 5 meters!
It flapped violently in the water, even splashing seawater onto Tony's body and onto the grass.
Fortunately, this is grassland, so he won't lose his grip because the ground is wet with sea water, otherwise he will be pulled into the sea by the fish.
A crash of waves.
Tony took the opportunity to pull the fishing rod again, and with his left hand, he closed the fishing reel. The bluefin tuna was successfully pulled to one meter.
Char was already waiting with a harpoon on one side. Under Tony's eyes, he directly threw the harpoon and then pulled it up.
As the fish that had been wrestling with Tony for more than half an hour gradually revealed its shape, Isabel and Alicia both took a deep breath.
The same goes for Bobby who is observing this side with a telescope.
This was a giant beast that was more than two meters long and about one meter wide. It was definitely the largest fish they had ever seen, bar none.
It is like a spindle shape, with a very thick body, and two small dark black dorsal fins like sharks on its back. The entire back is green-black, and there are two small silver pectoral fins on each side.
The scales on the bluefin tuna's chest are particularly large, shining with silver, and look like a thick and solid metal armor. When they transition to the abdomen, they turn white, and there are also two sword-bone-like ventral fins underneath.
Compared with its thick body, the root of its tail is very small. The tail fin is crescent-shaped, and the black bone on the crest of the tail handle provides it with a strong swinging force.
Its fish head looks very cute, without the ferocity of the top predator in the ocean, and it has a pair of big, white and black eyes, which are bright and bright.
And Tony's sea hook was stuck in its lower mouth.
Tuna breathe differently than other fish.
They open their gill covers when swimming, allowing seawater to flow directly through their gills.
For animals adapted to high-speed swimming, this is obviously a very efficient way of breathing, but its disadvantages are also obvious:
They need to keep swimming to breathe.
Once it stops, it will immediately die due to loss of oxygen. Perhaps this is why the meat quality of tuna is so special.
"Huh~"
Tony discarded the fishing rod and slumped to the ground like a deflated rubber ball, but his joy would not disappear due to exhaustion. He looked at the big fish in front of him, laughed, and then shouted.
"Cool!"
"How to eat such a big fish?" Alicia said.
"It must be sashimi!" Tony said without hesitation, "This kind of fish is perfect for sashimi. I brought wasabi."
With that said, he stood up and took out a bottle of mustard from the box.
"Sashimi?" Alicia frowned, "What is it?"
"It's just sashimi." Char said.
"Eat it raw?" Alicia raised her eyebrows.
"You'll know after you try it." Xia Ya stretched out her hand, "Give me the knife."
Alicia handed the knife in her hand to Chara, and he stepped forward and cut a few pieces of fish meat from the front and middle section of the tuna belly. The fat content here can even be as high as 50%, and the price is naturally the most expensive.
Some ice cubes were formed on the plate, and the fish slices were placed on the ice cubes.
The fish meat looks very beautiful, not bloody, with beautiful lines, fat and pink meat in distinct layers, with some tendons.
Ordinary fish are white meat, but tuna is different and more like red meat because it contains more hemoglobin.
After Char picked up a piece of fish and dipped it in mustard, he handed it to Alicia, "Try it."
Alicia hesitated for a moment, but still took a bite. The expected fishy smell did not come out, but instead melted directly in her mouth.
If before, the freshness and sweetness of the grouper meat was a metaphor, but now it was an adjective. She actually tasted the freshness and sweetness in the raw fish meat.
Of course, if it was just the fish, it could only taste good, but with the mustard, it was different. Or maybe the mustard covered up the fishy smell, and she didn't taste the fishy smell at all.
A spiciness rushed straight into the nose. Before the spiciness dissipated, he took another sip of Dionysian rum. The strong liquor entered his throat. The spiciness mixed with the sweetness and spiciness of the alcohol made his cerebral cortex numb slightly.
There was a sense of joy all over my body.
The fishermen who were watching here not far away also saw the scene of them enjoying tuna, which was slightly quiet.
They all had a panoramic view of the scene where humans and giant beasts in the sea were fighting.
They are all fishermen, so they know better than anyone how incredible it is to catch such a behemoth with a fishing rod.
Luck, strength, skill and preparation are all indispensable.
"You're going to eat a big bluefin like this?" one person said sadly, "What a pity. It would be valuable if it could be sold on the market."
"People don't care about the money either."
"They actually caught them." Old Burke muttered absentmindedly, "What are the origins of these people?"
But then he saw the light of some remaining kerosene lamps in the darkness.
He picked up the telescope in his hand and looked over.
"Who is it?" Bobby asked.
"Old Sassoon, old Morrie, and other people's old friends, they all probably saw it too." Old Burke said, "They were probably attracted by the light."
He was talking about the fishermen nearby.
Soon, he noticed the flickering and rhythmic light emitted by the kerosene lamp not far away. This was the way local fishermen communicated.
There are many pirates nearby. They dare not come out to fish during the day, but only come out at night.
But fishing at night is very dangerous. In order to take care of each other, they invented this way of typing letters by the length of the flash of lights.
So Old Burke obviously also read the meaning of the boat opposite, he grinned and said.
"This old shark is laughing at me.
To say that I have been fishing for most of my life is not as good as a young man. "
He hummed, "He didn't catch it, so why are you so proud?"
He looked at Bobby, ready to ask him to respond to the ships on the opposite side.
But the next moment, the light of the kerosene lamp flickering on the ship not far away made his eyes freeze for a moment.
The lights went out at that moment, including the lights all around.
His expression changed, and he turned his head and said to Bobby.
"Quick! Turn out all the lights!"
Bobby also reacted quickly and extinguished all the kerosene lamps.
For a time, the entire sea was dark and silent.
The light in the castle courtyard in the distance became more and more conspicuous.
Old Burke's expression was ugly.
Those signals just now meant that someone among them had discovered traces of pirates.
This shows that the pirates are already nearby.
"Damn it, even if these bandits come out during the day, they actually come out at night." Bobby said with red eyes and gritted teeth, "Will they still have a way to survive!?"
His parents were killed by pirates, so he really hated these pirates to his core.
"These days, there are Mafia's boats disguised as ordinary fishermen's boats during the day." Old Burke murmured in a low voice, "It seems that Mafia has influenced them."
Bobby looked at the light in the distance, "What should they do? Are we going to remind them?"
Old Burke's face became a little gloomier again, and the sea breeze blew his collar. As a fisherman who has been dealing with the sea for most of his life, he seemed to be able to smell the disgusting smell of those pirates in the air.
"I can't remind you anymore." Old Burke said in a low voice, "They have been discovered by the pirates. If we drive the ship over, the pirates are probably already here. Let's get out of here quickly and don't get involved."
Bobby also knew that he couldn't care about the life and death of others when he couldn't protect himself.
He looked not far away, then sighed, and informed the other sailors to quickly steer the ship away.
"How should we eat such a big fish?" Alicia asked, looking at the tuna on one side.
"For the students to eat." Tony said, "Such a big fish is enough for everyone."
Isabel smiled and said, "You are quite generous."
"Of course, I'm a good teacher." Tony raised his eyebrows and said, "When the time comes, put the fish on the table in the auditorium and eat it freshly."
Char smiled, he could hear Tony's calculations now.
Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, raised his eyebrows slightly, closed his eyelids slightly, and smiled.
“It looked like we had a lot of luck tonight.
Whatever you say will come to you. "
Tony also noticed something strange around him.
He looked around, and one ship after another was exposed to Char's light.
The ship was about medium size, about the same size as a castle. The people on the ship seemed to have been at sea for a long time, their skin was tanned by the sun, and their clothes had not been washed for a long time.
Some people wore turbans, while others grinned, showing their big yellow teeth that were missing a few teeth. Skeleton flags were flying in the sea breeze.
These ships surrounded the castle and there was no way to escape.
"Are pirates so rampant in the Mediterranean?" Tony muttered.
"In fact, various countries have sent troops to attack the pirates here, but they always rise again." Isabel picked up a piece of tuna and put it in her mouth. "It should be that the government here also has some forces funding these pirates."
"Not surprised." Tony nodded.
After a pause, he asked, "Shall I come?"
"No need." Alicia said, "Try my new magic. I called some friends to come..."
Some distance away, the fishing boats obviously saw the pirate ships in the light.
"These people should be dressed like rich people. They should be fine. They should be kidnapped and demand ransom from their families." Old Burke murmured in a low voice, "But I see there seem to be two people on the deck. A very beautiful woman.”
He did not continue, but everyone knew what the outcome of this group of people would be next.
Many people think that pirates are the freest existence in the world, but absolute freedom means absolute chaos.
There are countless people sleeping in this ocean who were killed by these pirates and burned ships.
"Let's go." Old Burke said calmly, "Let's leave quickly while these pirates are attracted. If we can find the government, we can save them."
But suddenly.
A man on the boat seemed to have seen something and exclaimed.
"Old Burke! Look below!"
Old Burke lowered his head.
The scene before him made his pupils shrink slightly.
Some lights loomed in the sea below their ship.
But as time goes by, more and more people gather, gradually lighting up a large area of the sea.
The sea became more transparent due to these lights, which allowed them to see the source of the light, which was a school of luminous fish one after another.
These schools of fish gathered from all directions and surged towards the group of pirates.
The fishermen on these fishing boats stared at this scene with wide eyes.
They have been fishing at sea for so many years and have never seen anything like this.
The sea that they were so familiar with in the past has become extremely strange at this moment.
They even doubt that they are no longer in this world.
Instead, he was pulled into a fantasy dreamland.
"Woo~"
A melodious and ethereal whale cry came from under the sea. This long cry penetrated into the soul, making people's minds involuntarily think of the vast abyss of the deep sea and the giant beasts wandering in the deep sea...
Old Burke was pulled out of his daze by the sound. Under his gaze, there seemed to be some giant creatures surging among the luminous fish.
And the numbers are huge.
The group of pirates apparently also noticed this scene, but they obviously did not realize that the danger was approaching, but looked at the sea with excitement.
Some even prepared fishing nets to scoop up the glowing fish.
But the next moment.
"Peng!"
The sea water splashed, along with the melodious roar of the whale, under the frightened eyes of the pirates.
A blue whale nearly thirty meters long rushed out of the sea and tipped towards their boat.
"boom!"
The terrifying weight of one hundred and seventy tons hit the large wooden ship heavily, and wood chips flew away. The entire ship began to crack from the middle to all sides, and sank into the sea as the blue whale entered the sea.
The pirates fell into the water and struggled fiercely.
Upon seeing this, the other pirate ships immediately planned to go to the rescue.
But then—
"Woo!!"
Dozens of blue whales rushed out from the bottom of the sea, and one ship even ran into two or three blue whales. As the largest species on earth, its weight alone is enough to be the most powerful weapon.
Some smaller ships were even directly hit by fish tails.
But falling into the water was not the end. They were dragged directly into the water by the fluorescent fish. Old Burke even saw some deep-sea beasts such as sharks and killer whales.
After humans living on land fell into the water, they were no match for these ocean overlords.
Soon, these pirates completely disappeared on the sea, leaving only some wood chips and shipwrecks floating on the sea.
The dark clouds shrouding the moonlight dispersed at some point.
A full moon shines on the sea, and together with the fluorescent fish, they can see the appearance of the "ship" more clearly.
It couldn't be called a ship at all. Its shape was the weirdest among the ships they had ever seen, and there were several chimneys that were emitting wisps of black smoke.
Bobby came back to his senses from the shock and quickly picked up the binoculars. He saw a few people on the fishing boat in the distance looking here with binoculars.
Obviously, they also saw the scene just now.
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Bobby felt that their mood should be the same as his at this moment.
The shock is beyond words.
The school of glowing fish did not leave immediately, but wandered near the strange ship.
A woman in the courtyard walked to the fence, and through the moonlight and fluorescence, Bobby finally saw the person's appearance clearly.
He opened his eyes slightly and his breathing stopped slightly.
Her long silver-white hair was spread casually around her head, and the soft moonlight seemed to break up all the silence and cast it on her hair.
Alicia doesn't have much European ancestry, and her skin is not pink and white like Europeans with large pores, but a cold white that is more Asian.
The radiance of the surrounding fish reflected on her snow-white skin, as if a layer of white light shrouded her body, like a god or a saint.
He has never seen such a beautiful woman, unlike any mortal creature...
With the moonlight, you can actually see clearly without a telescope.
Under the gaze of people on the surrounding fishing boats, a blue whale emerged from the water and approached the fence.
The woman slowly reached out and touched its chin.
People's breathing stagnated slightly, and their eyes slowly opened, trying to carve the scene in front of them deeply into their minds.
It was difficult for them to use words to describe the scene in front of them.
Just like a queen placing a sword on the shoulder of a knight who is half kneeling to her, conferring honors.
It is also like a goddess of the sea bestowing blessings on her loyal followers.
Countless fish schools surrounded it, emitting holy light.
At this moment, under the moonlight and soft fluorescence, everyone felt that this scene was as sacred as a story in the Bible.
