I Have Accomplished Nothing, So I Can Only Become the Pirate King

 Chapter 79: Pull the ship over!

Sarge glanced at the warship ahead, a red light flashed in his eyes. After seeing the color, he looked forward, shook his head, and walked towards the captain's cabin.

 “Lily, I leave it to you.”

 Through the exploration of seeing, hearing, and color, nothing great was found.

At this level, he has little interest.

Not a fighting maniac, who has nothing to do every day to fight?

 Having that time, why not drink some wine and appreciate your treasures.

Sage's captain's cabin is on the second floor of the deck building. It occupies no less space than the banquet hall on the first floor. The layout inside is very simple. In addition to the captain's cabin, there are only bedrooms and bathrooms.

 The renovation of the collection display cabinet that Renedia was asked to do has not yet been completed.

 The walls of the captain's cabin are still piled with fine collections sent here.

Different from the gold coins, jewelry and baileys piled in the treasure room, the things placed here are all good things screened out in the Kingdom of Nadia and Rogge Town.

 If you have money, then you should choose some collections to enjoy.

Sage first took a look at one of the crowns, which was made of gold and inlaid with gems. The workmanship was very beautiful. He nodded, then turned around and picked up a crystal gem the size of a pigeon egg, and played with it in his hand.

He walked to the desk and sat on the chair. He picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured a glass of clear wine into the silver wine glass inlaid with gems. He took a sip and showed a satisfied smile.

This thing, Lily looked at the name of the bottle and said it was "Dong Perry". It seemed to be a high-end product.

It tastes better than those country rums anyway.

 This is life.

“I used to live a life of water and water.”

 Sage clicked his tongue, "This is the life I should live!"

 He turned his body with the chair, faced the window, rubbed the gems, took a sip of wine, and started watching the play.

Outside, the sudden appearance of the Death Star also caused the warships on the opposite side to take action. Lily used her telescope to see those naval forces taking action, and shouted: "Port side!"

The men ran wildly on the deck, pulling the rope sails, turning the rudder, and cooperating with the pirates controlling the ship in the power room to brake the ship quickly and sail quickly on the sea.

 Boom, boom, boom!

The three warships fired their main guns, and the shells hit the ground and splashed water, but they could not even touch the edge of the Death Omen Star, and were avoided by this fast-speed ship.

 Even without Renedia's ability to use it, the ship's power system will be more sensitive than an ordinary ship as long as it is deployed.

 Coupled with Lily's command, it would be a bit difficult for the three warships to hit them.

Although the theory she studied was mainly navigation, it does not mean that she has not been exposed to other theories. She also knows naval warfare theory.

 It’s just that there is little chance to practice it.

We encountered a lot of warships in the East China Sea, but they were too few to operate. Moreover, at that time, Sager was still angry and wanted to find the person who took the blame for him, so he solved them all by himself.

 After getting the Death Omen, we didn’t have much chance. This was the first time to test the ship’s combat capabilities from the East China Sea to the Grand Line.

 The feedback received so far is pretty good.

Lily made a nice curve at the corner of her mouth and commanded loudly: "Go to the port side, turn back, the opposite warship is turning sideways!"

The Death Omen, which was sailing to the left, continued to the left and quickly turned in a circle. After the three warships fired their main guns, they also quickly adjusted, aligned their left hulls, and fired dense cannonballs.

From a ship's perspective, although the caliber of the main gun is larger, if intensive attacks are to be carried out, the hulls on both sides are of course more convenient.

 Boom, boom, boom!

It's just that the position where the shell fell happened to be avoided by the Death Omen, which turned back in a circle. A large number of shells fell into the water and exploded, as if it was raining heavily all around.

“Ah, the command is good, and the performance of the ship is also very good. Did you do it like a battleship from the beginning?” Marika said in surprise.

"I originally wanted to make an ordinary ship, but that **** old glass in the Kingdom of Nadia said that battleships would attract more attention. If the battleships are well made, others will not doubt the strength of making ordinary ships, so I made battleships. ”

Reynedia's face bulged, but she showed her little fangs and smiled: "Forget it, isn't this just in use? Otherwise, if it is encountered by Sarge, it may have to be reshaped."

 She is also observing the performance of this ship. After all, it is the first time it is used in actual combat, and she wants to see where it falls short.

“Aim to the left! Deck shot! First layer of chain shot! Fire!”

The ship's cabin has a total of four floors. In addition to the cannons on the top deck, the first and second floors of the cabin are also equipped with cannons. There are 150 cannons on the left and right sides of the ship, which are arranged up and down.

 In naval battles, artillery shells are also divided into types. In addition to the most basic cannonballs, there are also pure solid bullets that do not explode and are used to carve open the hull.

Chain bullets are solid bullets connected by iron chains, used to damage masts and canvas and render ships incapacitated.

 The shotgun is a cannonball composed of a large number of lead bullets. When fired from a cannon, it can be split into countless projectiles, which can be used to kill and injure people on the ship.

What Sag wants is a recording pointer. She doesn’t know how big it is, but since it is a pointer, it must not be that strong. It is impossible to sink the ship and then find it. She can only make the other side lose its combat effectiveness first.

Most battles on the sea still rely on ships. They are not only symbols, but also powerful weapons in naval battles!

The pirates ran as fast as they could, taking positions on the deck and in the cabin, loading cannonballs, and firing them.

 Bang, bang, bang!

The cannonballs formed two rows in the air, approaching two of the warships. The chain bullets flew in the air and hit the masts, damaging the masts on the warships and tearing holes in the canvas one after another.

 The shotguns quickly bloomed in the air and were launched onto the deck. In an instant, a row of navy fell to the ground.

 “Hit!” Renedia cheered.

“Keep sailing, circle around the warship, do it again!” Lily continued to command.

The Omen of Death rotated along the three warships in the distance, waiting for the pirates to reload their shells.

 Until the black ship reached the right angle, Lily found the opportunity and waved her arm down, "Launch!"

 Bang, bang, bang!

　　Boom!

Shotguns and chainshots were fired again. This time, the chainshot broke a mast at the front of one of the warships. The canvas with holes everywhere was torn apart by the pulling of the broken mast.

But at the same time as they were being fired, the two cannons on the deck suddenly exploded. The violent impact knocked the two pirates away and hit the edge of the ship on the other side.

　　Exploded?

Lily put down the telescope and looked sideways, and saw that two of the cannons had been blown apart and turned into scraps.

 “How could it be?” She murmured.

 She chose the right moment at this time, giving the gunners enough time and not exploding the chamber.

 She glanced around at the cannons and the personnel behind them, and suddenly realized that they didn't have enough people!

To control the cannon of a sailing battleship, at least three people are needed. One is responsible for loading the shells and gunpowder and lighting the fuse. One is responsible for aiming and igniting, as well as preventing accidents such as air spontaneous combustion during loading, and the other is responsible for quickly cleaning the barrel after firing. , check for residual gunpowder and sparks.

 But now, they don’t have enough staff!

There were more than 600 people on the ship, some of them were stunned by Sager's overlord look, some were in the control room, and some were responsible for adjusting the canvas. Even if the cannons on the second floor were not used, the remaining people were not enough to control the deck and the cannons on the first floor. , it would take three hundred people to activate a hundred cannons.

 The number of people they can move now is less than 300.

To control the whole ship's cannons, one hundred and fifty cannons on one side, and personnel positioned back and forth under the cannons on the front, rear, left, and right, must be at least five hundred people!

Gunner is also a skill that requires coordination. Not everyone has such a high degree of cooperation. Even if Lily has enough time, without familiar cooperation and personnel, explosion is inevitable.

The standard crew of the Death Omen is one thousand, and the maximum capacity is fifteen hundred. But it cannot be calculated like this. The maximum capacity is a bit crowded. For a ship, crowding is not a good thing. Basically, it is Calculated according to standard quantity.

If you only recruit full standard personnel, half of them as gunners will not work.

"ah!"

Renedia also discovered this. She clenched her fist and smashed it down in the air. "Miscalculation! The ship was made too small and the cannon fired too much!"

“Just change it. I think the cannon on the second floor is unnecessary and can be removed.”

Marika said softly: "After all, rebuilding the ship consumes too much time and money, and there may not be so many good materials."

"Well, let's ask Sage later." Renedia nodded and said.

 Marika looked at Lily and asked, "Will you pick up the ship? I will join you this time."

Ajin silently took out his walking stick, while Palu found his secretly repaired iron shield and put it on.

Although I have practiced with iron blocks, I still feel that it would be safer if I put on another layer of iron shield.

 The other pirates were also looking at Lily at this moment, waiting for her order.

 Lily glanced around them and nodded heavily.

Since Sage doesn't care, it means that the people in the warship can be dealt with.

There is no doubt about their fighting ability. For these people with strong wills and bodies recruited from the Kingdom on the Bridge, fighting is not a problem at all!

 “Pull the boat over!”
