The silence did not last for long.
However, the one who broke the silence was neither Blackbeard nor Feng bujue, but …
“Captain!” At that moment, a loud and clear voice came from the observation deck at the top of the mast.”It may not be the time now, but I have to interrupt you.”
“What is it?” Blackbeard’s eyes were still on Feng bujue, and he had no intention of moving away, but he still responded to the watcher with a shout.
“There’s a ship coming towards us from the southeast. ” From the tone of the lookout when he spoke to Blackbeard, he could guess that he was not an ordinary person.”In my opinion … They don’t have good intentions.”
!!When Blackbeard heard that, he thought about it for two seconds. Then, he adjusted his tone and voice to an appropriate level and said to Feng bujue,””It seems like … We’ll have to talk later,”
“It’s fine, you can go ahead. ” Feng bujue spread his hands and replied with a noncommittal expression.
“Ha …” Blackbeard laughed.”But I still have to confirm …” He paused.”While I ‘m’ busy ‘, you won’t take the opportunity to do something that will make me busier, right?”
“I won ‘t,” Feng bujue replied,”in fact, I was going to help you …” He extended his hand and made a ‘please’ gesture.”If possible, I hope that you can treat me as an ally or even a companion.”
“I see …” Blackbeard mused.”This is your ‘mission’, right?”
“I guess I can be considered one of them.” Feng bujue did not show any surprise at Blackbeard’s choice of words, even though he heard the word ‘mission’.”But I don’t think I can give you the details.”
“It doesn’t matter. Knowing this is enough.” After saying that, Blackbeard turned around and left.
His steps were firm, steady, fast, and powerful …
In the blink of an eye, he had already made his way to the helmsman’s stand at the rear of the ship.
Blackbeard stood at a high place beside the railing in front of the helmsman’s platform. Under the watchful eyes of the Pirates, he stood solemnly.
A moment later, he took a deep breath and shouted,””Bandits! Scum! My little B * tches!” After saying that, he showed a smile that could only be described as “ferocious”.”Hehe … It’s obvious that a group of reckless guys is coming at us …”
Just as he began his “pre-war speech,” the fast ship from the southeast was approaching at a high speed. Even the sailors with average eyesight could already see the ship.
However, Blackbeard’s attitude was still very calm …
His calmness and eagerness came from his confidence as a Tyrant of the Sea, and … A primitive desire to kill.
“I’m going to use their captain’s skull to install some of my bookshelves.
“I’m going to use the skin of those crew members to sew the war drum.
“I want to collect 100 spines to make a carving on the Queen’s revenge’s side.
“I want to fill up 12 barrels of human blood and use them as fuel for Greece Fire (a liquid combustion agent invented by Byzantine that can burn on water).
“I’m going to put their ship in a glass bottle as a permanent collection.
“I want to engrave fear deep into their souls, and let the River Styx sing my name!”
Blackbeard’s voice was like thunder, and every word he said was heard by everyone on the ship. Even the Pirates below the deck and in the cabin could hear his declaration.
“Do you all … Understand?” Blackbeard asked after a few seconds.
“HO! HO!”All the Pirates on the ship, no matter where they were, roared in unison.
“Very good,” he said. Blackbeard’s lips curled into a smile again, showing that he was very satisfied with the response. After a two-second pause, he said,”then …”
Just as he said that, he heard a long screech coming from the side. Immediately after that, a loud bang was heard.
It turned out that … An enemy ship’s shell had just fallen on the sea surface only a few meters away from Queen Anna’s revenge.
The power of the Cannonball was terrifying, and the water splashed up like an evil Dragon emerging from the water.
“Hmph …” Blackbeard laughed coldly when he saw this.
In the next second, he suddenly pulled out the sword of Triton (the messenger of the sea in ancient Greek mythology, son of Sea King Poseidon and Sea Queen anfetrit) from his waist and raised it high to the sky. He then continued his unfinished sentence and shouted,””Pirates … Raise your sails! To the left full rudder!”
As soon as the captain gave the order, all the Pirates on the ship moved like arrows leaving the bow.
Although these guys were usually lazy, irritable, and difficult to tame … At this moment, they would instantly become more efficient than any well-trained Army.
In the blink of an eye, the Pirates around Feng bujue and snow … Including brother garlic … Had all disappeared without a trace.
They ran, rolled, crawled, and swung …
The Pirates were like a swarm of flying bees, or jumping monkeys, busy on the deck.
Under the command of the few “officers”, these dozens of people quickly raised the sails, set up the cannons, prepared the ammunition, knives and guns, and threw the rope in an orderly manner …
In short, everyone was in a state of preparation for battle.
As for the enemy who had attacked … Although their identity was still unknown, someone who dared to attack the Blackbeard Pirates was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
“Captain, it ‘s’ algae ‘!” After a short while, when the outline of the ship gradually became clear, the lookout shouted.
Blackbeard’s expression did not change when he heard the name. He only asked,”Whose flag is it?”
“The one-eyed skeleton flag!” “It ‘s’ crazed eye ‘!” The lookout shouted back. After a second of pause, he added.
When he said this name, most of the Pirates on the deck were slightly stunned.
Feng bujue and snow were good at reading people’s expressions. They immediately deduced something from the reaction of the Pirates.
“You saw it too, right?” Snow asked softly.
“Ah …” Feng bujue said.”From the change in expression of the people around us … That ‘Mad Eye’ is not going to be easy to deal with.”
“Hmm …” Snow said in a deep voice,”but no matter how difficult he is, he’s not as strong as Blackbeard, right?”
“That’s a must. ” Feng bujue replied,”but … It is precisely this kind of enemy that is ‘only one level lower than Blackbeard’ that is more difficult to deal with. Normally speaking … When two pirate groups with similar strength go against each other, no matter who wins, it will be a ‘Pyrrhic victory’.” At this point, brother Jue’s eyes moved, and he changed the topic.”Also … I do care …”
“What do you care about?” Snow soon realized that Feng bujue’s eyes were moving downward like he was ‘seeing through’ the things below the deck.
“The Cannonball that fell into the ocean earlier …” Brother Jue mumbled.”It’s a little unusual …”
“Oh?” When snow heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he thought for a moment and said,”hmm … Now that you mention it … It’s indeed very strange. When the Cannonball was fired, the enemy ship was still very far away from us. Assuming that their firing range was that far, why would they continue to approach? Even if they had a reason to approach, why didn’t they shoot again as they approached?”
The conclusion that he came up with from this self-questioning reasoning was exactly what brother Jue meant earlier. He was implying that the Cannonball was ‘special’, or even ‘unique’.
However, even Feng bujue had no idea what it was used for.
“Raise the sails! Full speed ahead!” Just as the two players were conversing, Blackbeard’s voice once again resounded throughout the ship.
At this moment, Queen Anna’s revenge had turned to the brown algae under the adjustment of “raising the sail and full rudder”. In other words, Blackbeard’s order this time was basically equivalent to asking the crew to drive the ship to attack the enemy ship.
“Captain.” At this time, on the helmsman’s helm, a black man who had been standing silently beside Blackbeard said with a serious expression,”the other party is sailing with the wind, and … They have already reached such a speed. If we collide with them head-on like this …”
“Urdini,” Blackbeard interrupted him and called out to him.
“What are your orders? Captain. ” Urdini immediately responded respectfully.
“You don’t need to participate in this battle.” Blackbeard said,”you … Go to the sea first.”
Urdini did not show any dissatisfaction or doubt at this order, which sounded like a suicide command. He just calmly asked,””What do you want me to do in the sea?”
“There’s something wrong with the Cannonball that fell just now. ” Blackbeard also replied very calmly,”go and check … If everything is normal, you can come back to support.”
“Yes, Captain,” Urdini received the order, and without a word, he turned around and ran toward the side of the ship with his long legs.
When he reached the edge of the deck, he jumped into the turbid and dark sea outside the ship.
…………
At the same time, on bloodied algae.
“Captain! They’ve turned the ship’s bow around and are coming straight at us!” Their lookout was also shouting at the captain.
“Nonsense, we’re already so close, I can see it myself.” At the bow of the ship, a man in a dark blue captain’s uniform, with a fierce-looking face and a black blindfold on his left eye, immediately responded to his crew member with a violent tone.
This man was crazy …
The name ‘crazed eye’ was obviously his nickname after he became a pirate. As for his real name … He had already forgotten it.
Although Mad eye’s left eye was always covered with an eye mask, he was not blind in that eye.
Seeing this, many people must be wondering … Does he have the Sharingan? Is that eye mask a spiritual force restraining device?
Well … The answer will be revealed in the next chapter.
Let’s continue with the story …
Mad Eye shouted to his own lookout and then took two steps to the front of another person.
Then, as the captain of the ship, he actually changed to a flattering tone and said,””Uh … Master, what do you think we should do next?”
The man who was addressed as “master” by the Mad Eye was wrapped in a khaki-colored Western monk’s robe. His face was also completely covered in shadows. In such a state, even if one stood in front of him, one would not be able to see if he was a man or a woman, old or young, human or ghost …
“You don’t need me to teach you this, do you?” The Master’s voice didn’t sound special. It was a very ordinary male voice. Any man between the ages of twenty and forty might have such a voice.”You know better than me how to fight a naval battle.”
“Then … I’ll just play it by ear?” Mad Eye asked.
Just as the ‘master’ was about to answer that question, suddenly, he, who was hidden in the monk’s robe … Noticed something strange. He thought to himself, that is … Feng bujue?
He did not know what method he used, but when there was a certain distance between the two ships, he noticed that brother Jue was on Blackbeard’s ship.
“Not only that …’Those two guys’ are here too.” “No… I can’t come into contact with them under these circumstances. I have to leave before they discover me.”
He made the decision to run away almost instantly and said without changing his expression,””Mad Eye, I’m going to take something from the cabin. You … Have full authority over this place.”
After saying this, he turned to leave.
“Eh? “This …” Seeing this, Mad Eye quickly stepped forward and asked,”master, they’re about to start fighting. You …”
“What?” Grandmaster had no intention of explaining anything to frenzied eye. He only spat out a syllable in an unhappy tone.
This action alone scared Mad Eye so much that he took a step back.
“I … I’m sorry. I’ve spoken too much. Master, please …” Mad Eye hurriedly lowered his head and took a few steps back.”I … I’ll take care of this.”
Grandmaster didn’t say anything more to him, and silently left.
It was not until his figure entered the cabin under the deck and left the Mad eye’s sight that the latter let out a sigh of relief.
“Tsk … This bastard, I don’t know what he’s up to again.” Even though the other party had already walked far away, frenzied eye did not dare to say it out loud. He only muttered softly.
From the crazed eye’s reaction, it wasn’t hard to tell that … He had never thought that the ‘master’ would run away at the last minute.
To frenzied eye’s knowledge, this “master” was far stronger than Blackbeard. This was also the reason why he was so confident in his “attack.”
Frenzied eye firmly believed that he, who was “slightly inferior” to Blackbeard, would be able to snatch the title of the Pirate King … No, the Pirate King with the help of someone stronger than Blackbeard.
Unfortunately … Man proposes, God disposes.
Frenzied eye would never have thought that just a minute ago, he had already become the sacrifice of a “change in the situation.”
