The Most Wasteful Fruit Among Pirates

On the Don Quixote,

"I think we're missing something."

Dover, who was sitting on the oak barrel, pushed his sunglasses with a serious face.

"Yes, this is an urgent question."

Opposite him, who was also wearing square sunglasses and with a piece of bread on his cheek, Virgo nodded.

"···"

The honest Pica sitting next to him scratched his hair and finally decided not to comment on this issue.

"What are you talking about?"

Drenched in sweat, Rossi, who had just finished practicing swordsmanship with Diamanti, came over.

"Since our Don Quixote family has been established, then naturally we need a logo, a pattern—"

"Yes, this is a serious question."

···

"Understood,"

Although not going to sea as a pirate, everyone still wants a unique flag.

It's just... Rossi rubbed his chin. He remembered that the symbol of the "Don Quixote Family" in his previous life was a clown-like skull?

"That's it, everyone draw your favorite mark, and then vote to decide."

"Okay, that's the decision."

Dover thought the proposal was good, and even Torrebol and Diamanti surrounded him.

Although in Rossi's view, Torrepol, who was drenched in sweat and almost turned into 'slime', just wanted to take the opportunity to fish.

"let me!"

Diamanti looked confused and confident, "Hey hey hey, I was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts by a hundred million points."

Torrebol was not to be outdone, and the appearance of the two frightened Dover for a moment, but Virgo and Pica, who had known them for a longer time, had already turned their heads away.

After half an hour:

"I'm so stupid, really..."

Dover was already closed to himself, and Rossi picked up the banner drawn by Torrepol and Diamanti, frowning.

"Diamanti, your painting is really 'hugely lethal'..."

"Wuhaha, don't make me sound like a genius."

? ?

No, no, I am afraid that if I hang this banner up, I will make the enemy laugh to death first.

What Diamanti painted... I don't know where the indigenous art is. It looks like sunflowers and chrysanthemums. After a closer look, I can barely recognize a human face.

Although it can be seen that Diamanti has tried very hard to express a "vicious" expression in the picture, but his kindergarten painting level is really embarrassing.

As for the other one:

"Torre, it's definitely a big loss for the other party that you didn't get admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts."

That's right, this stream-of-consciousness painting style has already made Rossi unable to distinguish what is on the flag.

"Is this... the toilet?"

"This is a mountain, a mountain peak!!!"

Torrebol's entire face was pressed against Rossi's body, and he was furious.

"The mist-filled mountain tops pierce into the sky. On the mountain tops, the homes of the gods are bathed in sunlight.—this is a poem describing a holy place! And, you have it upside down!"

"Oh, sorry, sorry."

Rossi, who had no ups and downs in his voice, turned the painting upside down, and it seemed, as if, maybe...

Does it look a little bit like the Red Earth Continent?

"Dover, look—"

It's really hard to comment on the pair of "crashing dragon and phoenix chicks". Rossi handed the two flags to Dover. Even Dover, who has always been calm, looked away.

With such a flag hanging out, what face is there to hang around in the sea?

clap clap

Dover looked left and right, his eyes lit up, he stood up and clapped his hands.

"At six o'clock, there is a pirate ship approaching us!"

"Ready to fight--"

? ? ?

In this way, the question about the flag was fooled by Dover, and the dissatisfied Torrepol and Diamanti could only prepare to spread their anger on the pirate ship behind.

————

aboard the Tooth Shark,

"Boss, it's a fat fish!"

"Oh oh oh, how long will it take for us to be cool after finishing this vote--"

On the pirate ship catching up behind, a group of ragged pirates opened their chests, or hung on the cables, or jumped on the side of the ship, howling excitedly.

"Humph,"

As the captain of this pirate ship, Clifford, the captain with a clean coat, glanced disdainfully at these crazy subordinates.

A group of trash who only know how to eat and drink, and consume Bailey on bad wine and women!

He didn't even want to dress well, he simply wrote the word 'cannon fodder' on his face.

The reason why this ship was able to catch up with the giant merchant ship in front of it so accurately on the sea was neither the nagging navigator nor the "gift from the sea" that other pirates thought.

It was because someone sent him information!

As Rossi once said, as long as they are there, the managers of those factories in Spedamaruz, the managers of taverns and manors will never dare to change their minds.

"And the premise is 'we exist.'"

Rossi pointed to the pursuers behind him and turned around to explain to others,

"I can guarantee that these pirates have received information from Spedamaruz, and even the number of goods and personnel on our ship is clear."

If the senior members of the Don Quixote family died in the vast sea, wouldn't the wealth they left behind be...

So on the Don Quixote, Rossi was not surprised by the two pirate ships chasing after him.

That's right, besides the Tooth Shark, another pirate ship also jumped out of the sea level next to it, and quickly came to encircle and kill the Don Quixote.

This is definitely a catastrophe for a normal merchant ship, but for Rossi who has been prepared for a long time, it is just another exercise.

"The other party is a pirate who kills and robs, and has no complaints as an opponent."

"The next thing is shooting training, going to the cannon—"

The long and heavy cannons were pushed onto the deck by everyone, and the weapons themselves were better than the opponents. In addition, the loaded gunpowder is mixed with low-quality explosive rocks, so:

Boom boom boom boom! !

While the two pirate ships were still chasing at full speed, the merchant ship they targeted suddenly spewed out a cloud of white smoke.

"Haha, what are you doing?!"

"Hey, hey, isn't it the first time for these guys to go to sea?"

The sailors on the two chasing pirate ships were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

This distance is still hundreds of meters away from the limit range of their artillery, and the opponent has already fired. It's about frying fish——

Boom,

clatter,

A jet of pure white water suddenly exploded ten meters in front of the toothed shark. The splashed seawater poured over the excited sailors, suppressing their shouts and causing Captain Clifford to narrow his eyes.

The range is so long!

"Full speed ahead, post it!"

For pirates, artillery battles are not what they are good at:

On the one hand, it is impossible for them to obtain powerful artillery and explosives like the regular army and merchants; on the other hand, their purpose is to plunder, not to blow their opponents to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

Hand-to-hand combat is their specialty!

After the two pirate ships found that the merchant ship's artillery was very sharp, they both chose to accelerate their charge.

"Tsk, it seems that artillery skills can't be practiced in a short while."

They obviously possessed advanced artillery and explosives, but the two ships in the back continued to pursue them despite the bombardment. On the one hand, it is naturally because the artillery power in this world is limited, and on the other hand, it is also because everyone's artillery skills cannot be used.

"It's okay, take your time."

Anyway, Rossi didn't expect anyone here to suddenly awaken the talent of 'sniping'.

For things like shooting guns, practice makes perfect.

As time passed, the pirate ship behind him was getting closer. In the end, it was even possible to clearly observe the impatient pirates on the opponent's deck, and some pirates even raised their flintlock guns and fired at this side.

Of course, the hit rate depends entirely on the sky.

"Hey hey, this distance—"

Seeing that the two ships had drawn closer to a certain distance, Torrebol was eager to try.

Regarding the development of his slime fruit, Rossi's opinion is: Throw it out and attack from a distance.

"Slime Meteor Hammer!"

Create a ball of slime, and then rotate like a meteor hammer to accumulate kinetic energy, and then cut off the slime connection suddenly.

call out--

A large cloud of slime crossed a long arc, leaped the distance between the two ships, and landed on the deck of the other with a thud.

"Grass!!"

"What the hell is this?"

"Quick, pull me out—"

At first, the slime made the sailors on the deck startled, but after finding out that it was not corrosive or toxic, but very 'sticky', a group of pirates cursed those who would be stuck by the slime. Companion pulls out.

"3, 2, 1..."

In this slime, an inconspicuous metal cylinder suddenly expanded, and terrifying high temperature gushed out from it.

bang,

In an instant, the flames rose into the sky!

The blazing flames continued to spread along the slime, turning into a storm of flames that engulfed the deck. And those pirates who were glued to the slime before, and even the companions who helped pull them out of the slime, were immediately spread by the flames.

"Ahhh~~"

"Help, help me—"

"Don't run around, calm down, calm down!!"

One by one, the pirates were ignited into torches. Their survival instincts made them run wildly on the deck, and then ignited other things, causing the deck to fall into a sea of ​​flames.

"Hey hey hey, I am the number one gunner of the Don Quixote family!"

Rossi shrugged at Torrebol's announcement.

as long as you are happy.
