“Dong dong dong dong!!!”
Intense shelling sounded, three pirate ships and green warships bombarded each other, and a naval battle started on the sea.
There seemed to be powerful pirates on board the three pirate ships. The cannonballs fired by the warships were often detonated in advance while they were in mid-air.
As for the cannonballs fired by the pirate ship, before they land on the warship, Kuzan will use his fruit ability to "cool down" the cannonballs.
After the mutual shelling lasted for several minutes, no one was able to do anything to the other, and the shell inventory on Kuzan's side was also depleted heavily.
"Hey, Enichi, this kind of naval battle will be endless. Just sink those three pirate ships."
"We have to hurry and arrive at Shuixian Star Island at the scheduled time."
The artillery battle lasted for several minutes. Kuzan looked at the three intact pirate ships in the distance, took off his hat, scratched "Pengpeng"'s head, and said to Jiguo Enichi beside him.
"Sink it directly? Not so good. There should be supplies on the pirate ship. During this period, the food on our ship has been consumed a bit quickly. If we don't supply it, the food and fresh water will probably last for a week at most."
"At our current sailing speed, can we reach the next island in a week?"
Ji Guoyuan had already sheathed his sword at this moment, his hands were hanging on the railing of the bow, looking at the three pirate ships in the distance and asked with a smile.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Kuzan fell silent, and then said with some complaint:
“Can’t arrive”
"It's all your fault. If you had eaten less every meal, our supplies wouldn't have been consumed so quickly."
"In this case, we will have to engage in a boarding battle."
Kuzan said, pointing to the three pirate ships in the distance, and shouted loudly:
"Colonel Tsukuni Enichi! Come on! Defeat all the pirates!"
However, Enichi Jiguo, who was standing next to him, remained motionless and looked at him strangely. Seeing that Yuanyi was still motionless, Kuzan also looked at Enichi Jiguo in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? "
"Aren't you going to pick up the ship? How can we pick up the ship if you don't bring it close?" Yuanyi asked lightly when he heard this.
"Don't you know how to moonwalk? Can't you just fly over there?"
Kuzan was also full of doubts when he heard Yuanyi ask this question. While the two were talking, many cannonballs flew in the distance. Kuzan didn't look back. He waved his right hand and shot out dozens of ice arrows. Detonate the cannonball from a distance.
"Am I the only one going there?"
"These new recruits on the ship, don't you let them fight at close range?"
Ji Guoyuan was surprised when he heard this. He turned his head and glanced at the busy sailors on the deck, and asked doubtfully.
"How about that? These recruits are different from you. What if they get injured?"
"My crew members don't have much combat experience, how can they deal with such vicious pirates!"
Kuzan shouted directly when he heard what Yuanyi said, and his words also reached the ears of the sailors on the deck. At this time, these sailors actually stopped loading cannonballs and cheered towards Kuzan:
"It's really reliable! Brigadier General Kuzan!"
"You really care about your subordinates, and you are worthy of being Brigadier General Kuzan!"
Listening to the praises and cheers of the sailors, Kuzan couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Haha, no, no, this is what I should do!"
There was some pride in his tone.
"."
"Kuzan."
"How long have your crew been following you?"
As soon as Ji Guoyuan saw this scene, he suddenly asked.
"It's been less than a year, why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Kuzan suddenly heard this, and his smile did not fade, but he still said with a proud face.
"Too weak! Kuzan, the crew is too weak."
"How can you become stronger without going through battles?"
When Ji Guoyuan turned around and looked at the sailors on the deck, he finally understood why the crew members on Kuzan's ship were so weak.
It was one thing that these people were new soldiers, but more importantly, Kuzan protected these people really well.
Although Kuzan is now a brigadier general, this kid has risen through the ranks. Before that, he was also a "little soldier" in the special forces and did not have much experience in leading a team.
His style of conduct meant that the sailors on his ship would not receive much exercise.
Also under the leadership of Kuzan, their detachment can easily establish meritorious service, and the promotion speed of the sailors will not be slow, but can the combat effectiveness of these sailors really match their military ranks?
Once you become a navy, you will one day face a cruel battlefield. Can these over-protected sailors really be able to protect themselves, their companions, and their subordinates when they get off the ship and encounter the enemy?
Kuzan looked slightly startled by Tsukuni Enichi's words. He understood what Tsukuni Enichi meant. Enichi wanted these sailors to fight the pirates, but after taking a look at the sailors on the deck, Kuzan still couldn't help it. Aid said:
"They are training very seriously in private. When their combat effectiveness improves, I will give them a chance to practice."
However, Jiguo Enichi shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't wait until the time comes, let's start from today."
"As long as you're here, nothing will happen."
Hearing the familiar "sentence pattern" from Ji Guoyuan again, Kuzan's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, he sighed softly, and ordered loudly:
"Bring the ship closer! Prepare for a boarding battle!"
"Don't be afraid, it's just a pirate, it's no big deal!"
Although Kuzan is relatively benevolent, his prestige in the hearts of his subordinates is still relatively high. His orders did not attract opposition from his subordinates, but were enthusiastically supported.
Hearing that they were about to fight the pirates head-on, the sailors on the deck started to move and checked their firearms and sidearms. These recruits were a little scared and a little excited, but no one flinched.
Soon, the green warship quickly approached one of the pirate ships. The hulls of the two ships rubbed violently. For a while, sawdust flew from the warship.
Before the sailors could put up the wooden ladder on the opposite pirate ship, the pirates on the pirate ship were the first to put the wooden ladder on the warship with a "snap" sound.
"Young boys, come on!!"
"There are strong men in the navy. We have our main mast cut off and there is no way we can escape!"
"Kill all the navy so we can have a chance to survive!"
"rush!!"
The moment the opponent's wooden ladder hit the warship, there was a loud shout from the opposite ship. The next second, figures quickly jumped up the wooden ladder and rushed towards the sailors on the warship, with a ferocious air. , coming towards you.
"The pirates in the New World are really 'excellent'!"
Ji Guoyuan immediately felt the inequality in strength between the two sides. The pirates who ventured into the new world were all quite strong, far beyond what the young sailors on Kuzan's ship could compare to.
"Fire! Fire!!"
Looking at the menacing pirates, a young sailor shouted loudly and fired bullets from the matchlock gun in his hand, hoping to force the pirates back.
However, the pirate who jumped up the wooden ladder first was obviously an "elite". With one leap, he landed on the deck of the warship. After kicking away a nearby sailor, his eyes fell directly on Jiguoyuan on the bow of the ship. One and Kuzan.
"Roar!!!!" With a loud shout, a pirate rushed directly towards Enichi Tsukuni and Kuzan, and slashed at the younger-looking Enichi Tsukuni with a knife.
However, the next second, a column of blood spurted out, and a fierce-looking head fell on the deck.
"Bang!"
The headless corpse fell at Kuzan's feet. Kuzan couldn't help complaining when he saw this scene:
"Hey, Yuanyi, calm down, the recruits can't bear it!"
"Vice Captain Dick!!!"
Just as Kuzan was speaking, the pirates in the distance also saw the scene that happened on the bow of the ship. Looking at the corpse at Kuzan's feet, the pirates all cried out in pain, and then directly struck three times, five divided by two. He defeated the sailors blocking the road and swarmed towards Jiguo Enichi.
“Buzz!!!!”
When Ji Guoyuan looked at the swarming pirates, he didn't see any movement. He just stared slightly, and his domineering aura was directly released.
The terrifying pressure was like substance, directly bombarding the pirates. The pirates who had been waving weapons and trying to attack Enichi Tsukuni a second ago had their eyes turned white at this moment and fell to the deck.
