A certain scientific pirate

"What about the surveillance ship? Are you sure it has been sunk?"

"Not sure, but we have completely lost contact... We lost contact while monitoring the 'Four Emperors'. It can basically be judged as sinking."

"The surveillance ship has the advantage of speed, so why is it so easy to be sunk? Hasn't the captain of that ship learned to walk a dog?"

"Captain, the speed will be affected by factors such as sea conditions, wind speed, etc. Performance advantages cannot ensure the safety of the ship... The target of our surveillance is the Yonko."

The marine who replied was a little surprised at first, because he had never heard anyone compare the behavior of monitoring a pirate like Red-haired Shanks to "walking a dog".

Mo Fei's idea is relatively simple. He thinks that a surveillance ship, a ship with sails all over its body, can theoretically take advantage of its speed to keep a good distance from the enemy ship... It can not only monitor the opponent, but also keep the enemy at a good distance. outside the attack range.

However, the problem is that this is the Grand Route after all, and there are a lot of "force majeure" on the sea. This kind of thing is actually relatively difficult to do.

The strength of the Four Emperors cannot be underestimated.

At this time, Mo Fei already wanted to adjust his course and search the sea area where the surveillance ship last sent out the news. But the problem was that he was tasked with searching the current sea area and could not "leave his post without permission" easily.

"Captain, contact from Marinefando!"

Just when Mo Fei was struggling, a sailor shouted from the communication room next to the command room.

Mo Fei quickly came to the communication room and picked up a phone bug's microphone.

"Marinfando, this is MLLR.010366, and I am the temporary captain Aelindel Morfei."

"Warrant Officer Elidel, this is Marinevando. We are now issuing an order to change the combat mission. We are ordering your ship to turn to Sea Area 523 and search for traces of the Red Hair Pirates. If you find the target, report it immediately! Repeat, you are now ordering your ship to turn to Sea Area 523 and search for it. There are traces of the red-haired pirates. If you find the target, report it immediately!"

The phone bug said loudly with its eyes raised and its mouth wide open. It was vividly imitating the demeanor and facial expression of the person opposite.

Mo Fei once suspected that this soft-bodied and hard-shelled creature had a high IQ, but he had no evidence.

"Understood, our ship will turn now."

Now that the red-haired ship has appeared in that area, all the navy surveillance ships in the surrounding area will focus there.

After receiving the new order, Mo Fei hung up the phone and conveyed the order.

The "Archerfish" began to turn, and everyone's mood became tense.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. We are just going to visit the Four Emperors, not to fight against them. It's just like going to the zoo to see the beasts in the cages... The other party can indeed simply eat us, but there is no way. A cage?”

Mo Fei calmed his subordinates a little. Although he knew that these words were useless, as the supreme commander, he had to show such a calm attitude.

"Attention! The shadow of the ship is found in front of the port side!"

After a short while, the lookout in the lookout room on the mast reported the news through the telephone bug.

"Is it a pirate ship?" Mo Fei asked immediately.

"Captain, the distance is too far and we can't see clearly yet," the lookout said.

"Go forward to the left, be careful to slow down and don't rush too hard." Mo Fei immediately ordered.

If it were to rush forward at too high a speed and there would be no time to turn, it would most likely hit the Yonko directly.

While the boat was sailing, Avril climbed into the observation room and drove down the watchman above.

"I see, there is no pirate flag on the ship..."

Not long after, April's voice came from the phone bug.

"Passenger ship? Cargo ship?" Mo Fei asked.

He vaguely knew that April's eyesight seemed to be very outstanding...not outstanding in the general sense, her eyes were unusual. This was not just a matter of observation, but her "hardware" was very advanced.

It is normal to find ordinary ships in this sea area. Otherwise, why would there be so many pirate ships on the sea?

"neither."

Avril denied it, and then she seemed stunned for a moment before continuing:

“It’s the World Economic News ship.

The newspaper's flag was flying on the boat.

The ship is full of newsbirds. "

Mo Fei: "..."

War correspondent again? I feel that these reporters, who spend most of their time "reporting" and occasionally "making" news, are really well-informed and can run very fast.

"Captain, do you want to drive them away?" Robert asked Mo Fei.

Mo Fei thought for a while and then said, "Don't worry about them, I don't have enough time."

"Understood, Captain. However, there is very likely to be an artillery battle in this area next. If our stray bullets accidentally hit the ship, it will be a problem... No one knows what those reporters will write." Robert He expressed acceptance of the order, but at the same time he also reminded him in a low voice.

"Don't worry, there is no chance that one stray bullet will hit the ship. It is only possible that many stray bullets will sink the ship... Sergeant Robert, do I look like a good man?" Mo Fei glanced at this man. The sergeant glanced at him and said this.

"..." Sergeant Robert understood the meaning of this sentence, but he didn't know how to answer Mo Fei's question.

"Afriel, continue searching for the pirate ship."

Mo Fei ignored Robert and then gave instructions to the sailor sister in the observation room.

"clear."

Mo Fei didn't pay attention to that...well, let's call it a news boat, but after discovering the Archerfish, the boat immediately turned and followed the warship.

It can only be said that the reporters are really courageous. In theory, warships will not attack civilian ships, but pirate ships are just the opposite... They know that the Yonko's ship is nearby, but they still dare to join in the fun. This is indeed It must be said that I am not afraid of death.

The Archerfish continued to search the area and encountered several surveillance ships in the distance.

Warships have a numerical advantage, and their deployment density is relatively high. The surveillance ranges of different surveillance ships overlap, and it is impossible for the Red-haired Pirates to disappear directly from this sea area, so the enemy ships will definitely be discovered. The only difference is time. Sooner or later it's a matter of time.

Another four hours later, April's voice came again.

"Enemy ship discovered...

It's the Red Foss. "

"Are you sure? Avril?"

"Sure.

A pirate flag with red hair. "

Mo Fei stood up suddenly, "Keep your distance and don't get within 5,000 meters of the enemy ship."

Then he took a set of phone bugs and small phone bugs from the communications room and went out on the deck.

Due to the problem of sight distance, it was of course impossible for Mo Fei to see the enemy ship while standing on the deck, but he believed in Avril's judgment.

Mo Fei stood on the side of the ship, put a small phone bug and a loudspeaker on a lifeboat, and then prepared to put the small boat down.

"Captain, what are you doing?"

Robert, who was following behind, didn't know why.

"It's just a matter of routine. Shouldn't we try to persuade you to surrender at this time?"

"Persuade to surrender? Red-haired Shanks?"

"Not necessarily, Ben Beckman can actually do it too."

"Forehead……"

Robert felt that his thoughts were a little behind.
