Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

"The black flag, isn't that the pirate flag?" Zhang Daye raised his head and asked, "Can you see the flag clearly?"

Rui Mengmeng picked up the telescope and took a closer look: "It's a skull with two horns and a red nose."

Speaking of the red nose, Zhang Da also immediately thought of the Great God Bucky, but he probably doesn't hang out in the Grand Line, and Bucky's logo probably doesn't have a horn.

Zhang Da also looked at Shark Chili, who shook his head. There was too little information to judge, and it might be a pirate group that was not very famous, so he had never seen any bounty information in Shampoo.

If you can't tell, forget it. He probably isn't a famous figure. Zhang Daye shouted: "Get ready to fight! Non-combatants take cover!"

Artoria turned the steering wheel to move the ship in the direction of the pirate ship.

Rui Mengmeng stared at the pirate ship and reported its course at any time.

Ye Yan waved his hand and let the eight-sided demon flag float behind him.

Perona and Tom ran to the cabin obediently, only sticking their little heads out to observe secretly.

Shark Pepper said: "Why don't you let me go over and take a look? I can defeat this unknown pirate group with the Shark Titan."

"No, I still want to experience an artillery battle. We have so many artillery shells, it would be a pity not to fire a few. Besides..." Zhang Da also reached out and grabbed Tom and pulled him back: "Why are you hiding here?

?Artillery Tom, prepare to fight!"

Tom quickly put on his sailor uniform, saluted, and then went to the cabin to push a cannon out.

"e...Actually, what I want to try are the cannons on the hull." There are five cannons on the left and right sides of the Amber, and there is one in the front. Zhang Da has also wanted to test its power for a long time, but this time it was rare to find a suitable target.

"Then let me go. I also want to experience this kind of old-fashioned cannon." Ye Yan volunteered and this kind of experience was valuable material.

"Okay, Brooke, please go and provide technical guidance to Ye Yan for a while." Zhang Da also thought that Brooke had been a pirate for so long, so he should know how to use the cannon.

"Hey ho ho ho~ I'm happy to oblige." Brooke gently raised the top hat on his head and went to the weapons depot with Ye Yan. This guy is quite a gentleman when he is not sleazy.

The two of them, plus the banner demons, can control the five cannons with ease.

Zhang Da also climbed up the mast and entered the observation room, snatched Rui Mengmeng's seat, and blew two breaths into the microphone to check the sound. The microphones here are connected to the loudspeakers in each cabin. In case of emergency, everyone can

Everyone heard it.

"Helmsman and navigator, please be careful, the enemy ship is about to enter the range, seize the T-head!"

Artoria asked in confusion: "T-letter? What is that?"

"Unexpectedly, Boss Daya also understands this, even if it is not used so appropriately." Shark Chili explained: "The prefix T refers to the fact that in a naval battle, our fleet faces the opponent's column with the entire fleet on its side, because the artillery

Most of them are installed on the side of the ship, so that the ship's firepower can be maximized to attack the opponent's lead ship."

"But we don't have a large fleet. Boss Tatsuya probably wants to try to keep the side of our ship pointed at their bow and occupy the horizontal position on the T-shaped head. But under normal circumstances, unless our speed is very high,

If you have the advantage, or the opponent responds slowly, it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect."

Arturia nodded: "I see. In short, just make sure that as many of the cannon ports on the sides as possible can be aimed at the enemy, right? But the best case scenario is to aim at the bow of the ship."

"That's it." Shark Pepper affirmed.

"Then..." Artoria quickly turned the steering wheel, and the Amber drew a graceful arc on the sea, perfectly aiming its left side at the bow of the pirate ship.

Rui Mengmeng was very discerning and jumped down to help adjust the sail to ensure power.

"Beautiful!" Zhang Da also praised, and immediately shouted, "The left string caught the enemy and fired half a volley, fire!"

The Amber's left muzzle turned, and after a moment five sparks exploded, and five round cannonballs flew out.

Shark Chili raised his head and shouted: "Boss Tatsuya! Don't shout out orders you don't understand! There are five cannons in total and there is no turret. Why?

Half salvo!"

"Uh..." Zhang Daye was at a loss for words. He just thought this line was very cool, so he said in an awkward voice, "Then let me change it to another sentence, brothers, let me blow it!"

Tom glanced at his cannon, which seemed to be in the wrong position. He struggled to push the cannon from starboard to port to prepare for ignition, and then... the ship turned.

Five cannonballs landed around the pirate ship, and the explosions raised high water jets.

The pirate ship did not stand still and was beaten, but adjusted its course, so Arturia also adjusted its direction.

But this hurt Tom badly. Maybe the cannon didn't stop, and the two wheels turned backwards, crushing Tom who had just taken out the match into a puddle, leaving two marks on his body.

Tom lay on the deck looking confused.

The pirate ship on the opposite side didn't know why it didn't fire, but wanted to slowly approach the direction of the Amber.

Zhang Da didn't care about that and told Brooke and Ye Yan to just fire after they finished loading.

Bang bang bang... Another round of shelling, five cannons popped out of the chamber. According to Zhang Daye's visual inspection, the aim was very accurate this time. With the speed of the pirate ship opposite, no matter how it turned, it could hit two or three

hair.

However, just as the two cannonballs were about to hit the hull, a pink light shot out and enveloped the three cannonballs.

The three cannonballs were suspended in the air as if they had been paused. After the pirate ship passed by, they resumed their speed.

Shark Pepper was surprised: "What kind of ability is that? The cannonball is immobilized?"

Artoria denied: "No, it's not completely frozen, it's just that the flying speed has slowed down, so slow that it's difficult for ordinary people to recognize it with the naked eye."

Such a strange ability reminded Zhang Daye of a person, the silver fox Foxy, who could emit slow light. The speed of things illuminated by the light would become very slow, and return to normal after a period of time.

Overall, it's quite funny that a person has gained super powers.

After another round of shooting, the cannonball that could have hit was once again illuminated by the slow light, and the distance between the two parties was much closer. At this time, Tom, who was crushed again, finally successfully fired his first cannonball of the day.

The other party still didn't seem to have any intention of firing. Instead, a man stood on the side of the bow and picked up a loudspeaker, preparing to shout: "Hey, hey, people on the other side, listen up... Bang! Buzz~~"

It was Tom's cannonball that happened to hit the loudspeaker, knocking over the person who was shouting with it.

"Captain!" A cry came from the pirate ship.

Zhang Da also picked up the binoculars and looked at a man with a long red nose and a cracked head lying on the deck: "This is really the guy, Tom fought well!"

Recently, when the World Cup started, there were some people in the author group who watched the football and bought sports betting, which reminded me of a passage in Ace Censor:

Don’t think too hard about the students above. Unhappiness in life always accounts for nine out of ten, and you will encounter ups and downs of one kind or another in your life. Gambling is harmful to people, so stay away from the World Cup! There is no difficulty in life that cannot be overcome, and those ups and downs in the past will only lead to achievements.

A brighter future for you!
