Chapter 327 Pirates Attack (Please subscribe, please vote)
Under the bright sunshine, several seagulls flapped their wings and flew across the rippling blue sea.
Their whiteness and the blue sea form a harmonious picture.
The next second, this peaceful scenery was broken by a three-masted sailing ship.
This three-masted sailboat has a wooden structure as a whole, about 20 meters long, with a slender hull and a collision angle on the bow. It is a fast ship.
There is only one kind of person who can use this type of ship, pirates!
Although this kind of fast ship has limited carrying capacity, its speed is outstanding and it is very suitable for chasing merchant ships loaded with cargo.
But the ship in front of me looked a little dilapidated.
The sea breeze gently blew the black sail, which was covered with dense holes, each one as thick as a finger, obviously traces left by lead bullets.
This pirate ship sailed on the sea at an extremely slow speed. The hull was covered with scars. The whole ship creaked and creaked, and it seemed that it would fall apart at any time.
"Captain, how long until we can return?"
A pirate was lying on the uneven deck, looking longingly at the captain who was studying the chart.
This group of pirates originally arrived at the Great Channel for the Pirate King's secret treasure. What they didn't expect was that the Great Channel was far more difficult and dangerous than they imagined.
The unpredictable sea breeze was just one of them. What shocked them even more was that the strength of the pirate gangs and naval fleets they encountered far exceeded those in the world.
Every confrontation was a life-and-death contest, allowing this group of pirates to deeply experience the cruelty of the Great Channel.
This weather-beaten pirate ship is none other than the Kara Pirates who broke into the Great Channel from the Western Sea.
In the Western Sea, the Kara Pirates are famous and can be called the overlord.
They are almost invincible there and few opponents can compete with them.
Such achievements have greatly inflated the self-confidence of the Kara Pirates. They believe that the navy is nothing more than this, and the throne of the Pirate King must belong to their Kara Pirates.
So the group headed towards the Great Channel with full confidence. After passing through the Upside Down Mountain, they truly realized the cruelty of the Great Channel.
When the Kara Pirates arrived at the Chambord Islands after all the hardships, the once huge fleet had withered.
Of the fleet of ten three-masted sailing ships, only three were left swaying in the waves, witnessing their tragic encounter on the great waterway.
After arriving at the Shampoo Islands, the Kara Pirates witnessed the terrifying power of the Supernovas.
The terrifying power of those strong men deeply shocked them.
After careful consideration, the Kara Pirates decided to abandon their plan to go to the new world and choose to return to the Western Sea they were familiar with.
But fate didn't seem to favor them.
On the way back, they unfortunately encountered Moonlight Moria, one of the Shichibukai.
After losing the lives of two ships, Kara led the remaining men to escape the pursuit of the terrifying three-masted ship.
Now, a month has passed since they escaped from the terrifying barque.
The supplies on the ship have long been exhausted, and hunger and exhaustion have enveloped the entire pirate group.
Everyone has not eaten for a whole day, and everyone's face is full of exhaustion and helplessness.
"Stop talking nonsense. We'll be at our next destination soon. Just grab some things then."
Kara impatiently kicked the crew member lying on the floor, but the other person was too exhausted to get up from the ground at the moment.
Looking at the crew members who were as powerless as dead fish, Kara sighed helplessly.
Just as he was about to turn around and return to the captain's cabin, his peripheral vision caught something strange in the distance. Kara quickly took out a telescope and looked eagerly at the distant horizon.
A cargo ship with black smoke slowly sailed into his sight.
The reason why Carla could recognize this cargo ship at a glance was due to his rich robbery experience.
Countless experiences in robbing merchant ships made him familiar with all types of ships, and he could tell the type of ship on the other side at a glance.
"Damn it! Get up! We have work to do!" Kara quickly walked to the deck of the second floor of the cabin and quickly took out the flintlock hanging on her waist.
With a deafening gunshot, the pirates who were lying dead on the entire deck woke up.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Several pirates were still sleeping just now, but they were awakened from their dreams by Kara's gunfire and asked in confusion.
"I don't know, but it sounds like I have a mission." A pirate quickly climbed up from the deck and casually crushed a louse on his body.
In the life of a pirate, hygiene is not the first priority, and these rough men do not dislike each other.
"A merchant ship has appeared 30 degrees ahead and to the right. Anyone who wants to eat, please take it out for me. We will rush up later and take whatever you want to eat!"
Kara knew that what the crew needed most now was food and water, not gold and silver.
Sure enough, after his words fell, the eyes of the crew members flickered, and their original depressed state disappeared instantly.
Instead, the ferocious smiles on their faces, combined with the scars on their faces, were enough to stop the children from crying.
This group of pirates can't wait to start a new plunder.
"Captain Doruton, a ship is approaching us rapidly!"
The messenger hurriedly rushed to Doluton and handed over the telescope in his hand, with a trace of nervousness in his tone.
In this sea full of unknowns and dangers, every ship is equipped with observers. Their duty is to remain vigilant at all times and detect potential threats on the sea in a timely manner.
The appearance of pirates is a common occurrence in this sea area. Once precautions are neglected, the consequences will be disastrous.
Doruton took the telescope and quickly scanned the horizon.
Sure enough, on the distant sea, a ship was sailing towards them at an alarming speed.
From the telescope, you can clearly see the sails on the ship being inflated, obviously moving at full speed.
"What kind of ship is it?"
As the actual controller of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom on Drum Island, Dorudun is well aware of the terrifying power of the powerful on the Great Channel.
Although he is a user with the ability of the Devil Fruit Niu Niu Fruit, he might not be able to withstand a single blow from the truly top experts.
The words of the observer made his heart sink even more: "It should be a pirate ship. The other party is using a three-masted clipper. The surface of the ship is in tatters. It seems that it has not had time to repair."
Upon hearing the word "pirate", Doruton's face instantly turned gloomy.
They went out to trade with other countries. The journey was uneventful, but they didn't expect to be targeted by pirates when they were about to return home.
"Sound the alarm and prepare all personnel for battle. The gunners begin to check the gunpowder and prepare for a broadside battle."
Doluton gave the order in a leisurely manner, and the orderly soldiers quickly came to the deck and rang a small bell.
The alarm bell sounded, and all the sailors on the ship stopped what they were doing. Everyone knew the meaning of the bell-the whole ship was on alert, and pirates were approaching.
Three minutes later, the sailors, dressed in leather armor, filed out of the cabin and quickly lined up on the deck.
