#59 - Chapter 59 Boarding Battle
Under the night sky, the sea was like a strip of black silk, separating heaven and earth, with a mysterious aura permeating the surface, as if concealing countless unknown dangers.
The sea at night seemed like a bottomless abyss, where even nearby objects were swallowed by the darkness.
Behind the warship, a dark figure quietly approached, a massive pirate ship gliding across the water like a ghost, its sails hidden in the darkness, leaving only a deep silhouette.
"Captain Litt, the cannons are loaded!" A pirate hurriedly ran to the bow of the ship to report to the man holding binoculars.
Litt, with a bounty of 25 million Berries, was a notorious pirate in the South Sea, leading his pirate crew to attack many innocent merchant ships and naval fleets, striking fear into the hearts of people.
On the bridge of the pirate ship, Litt stood at the bow, his eyes burning with ambition and desire.
He narrowed his eyes, his fingers tightly gripping the ship's railing, waiting for the opportune moment.
Behind him, a group of fierce and arrogant pirates armed with weapons also awaited his command.
"Understood."
Litt stretched out his fingers to feel the change in the wind direction, then raised an eyebrow.
"We can attack!"
Suddenly, Litt issued the order to attack.
"Roger!"
The pirates, like wild beasts, glared at the warship in front of them, silently paddling their oars, and pounced on the naval fleet.
Litt chuckled, after plundering this warship, they could have a good time for a long time.
......
"Oh? I didn't expect there to be pirates who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth..." Jin An's expression was a little strange. Could there be pirates in this godforsaken place?
Kuzan was also puzzled when he heard this, "There don't seem to be any islands nearby, right? Could it be that they are too weak and only dare to huddle here?"
But Kuzan quickly denied this idea. It was obviously impossible for those who were weak to dare attack the navy.
Jin An had eaten a little too much for dinner and didn't want to move much now:
"Go handle it."
Kuzan put on his coat and walked towards the deck in leather shoes, his steps steady and powerful.
To be honest, as long as Jin An didn't take action, he, Kuzan, had never been afraid of anyone in the entire South Sea.
"Everyone, cheer up, the pirates are coming towards us."
Without hesitation, he immediately ordered his men to prepare.
The naval soldiers did not dare to be careless and immediately responded, busy adjusting the fleet's defense layout to prepare for the possible attack.
The pirates on the pirate ship noticed the movement on the warship, and a trace of cruelty flashed across their faces.
Litt stood at the bow, his eyes filled with violence, he knew he had to act now.
"Are you ready?" Litt's voice was cold and firm, his hand tightly gripping the ship's rail, his eyes scanning the situation on the sea.
"Ready!" The pirates shouted in unison, their eyes burning with the flames of battle, fearlessly facing the upcoming fight.
Litt decisively said: "Fire!"
"Boom!!!"
With Litt's order, the cannons on the pirate ship roared in unison, illuminating the dark night sky, the firelight reflecting the raging waves.
Kuzan's eyes were fixed on the cannonballs fired from the pirate ship, and he rushed to the front of the warship without hesitation.
He focused on controlling his abilities, his hands began to gather strength, emitting a pale blue light, and the cold air made the sailors on the warship shiver.
Suddenly, beams of ice-blue light shot out from under his feet, like sharp blades, cutting through the sky.
"Ice Block: Partisan."
The ice spears rotated rapidly, and the biting cold air spread out, the cannonballs fired from the pirate ship were hit by the ice cones before they approached the naval fleet.
A series of dazzling lights flashed, and the cannonballs were frozen into a crystal clear piece of ice, and then fell into the sea, splashing bursts of waves.
"......"
"Lieutenant Commander Kuzan blocked the enemy's cannonballs!"
The naval soldiers witnessed Kuzan's performance, and a sense of admiration arose in their hearts.
"Next is our time to counterattack!"
Their navy was the best at using cannons, and unlike the pirates, their ammunition was sufficient.
The situation instantly reversed, dozens of cannons were aimed at the pirate ship, and with a huge roar, the cannonballs slammed into the pirate's ship, stirring up monstrous waves.
The pirate's hull trembled on the sea, as if it was in danger of being sunk at any time.
"Captain, the navy's artillery fire is too fierce, it has completely suppressed us!" The pirates complained, "There are also ability users on the other side who have resolved all our attacks!"
Litt frowned, knowing that the long-range tactics had failed, but fortunately, with the crew's unremitting paddling, their ship was very close to the warship.
"Release flashbangs, prepare for boarding!"
In naval warfare, boarding is a very dangerous fighting method, which requires the crew to have superb combat skills.
Their pirate crew happened to be good at this kind of combat!
The pirates immediately took action, the crossbowmen on the ship raised the flashbangs, they skillfully lit the fuse and threw the flashbangs at the naval fleet.
Suddenly, dazzling rays of light bloomed in the night sky, illuminating the entire sea, making the navymen dizzy.
"Charge!"
Litt waved the weapon in his hand and led the pirates to bravely launch an attack on the naval fleet.
"Kill!!!"
Taking advantage of the flashbang effect, the pirates pounced down like wild beasts, stepping on the bridges made of iron chains and rushing towards the hull of the naval fleet.
Litt's eyes flashed with cunning light, he waved the swords in his hand coldly, and rushed to the warship deck first:
"Hahahaha, navymen, prepare to die, I am Litt who is here to send you on your way!"
He knew that now was a decisive battle, only by completely defeating the naval fleet could he win and seize greater spoils.
"Are you looking down on me?" Kuzan's eyes flashed with cold light, "No need to look behind, your men won't be able to get over."
"Ding!!"
The iron chain connecting the two ships made a crisp sound, and the pirates standing on it fell into the sea together.
"You!"
Litt swallowed, looking at the ice knife in the opponent's hand.
"I think we can sit down and have a good talk..."
At the same time.
A huge figure was swimming in the depths of the seabed, attracted by the light of the flashbang, it gradually approached the surface.
As the deep-sea behemoth approached, the pirates found that the world had become brighter, as if it was dawn.
As for the navy, most of them still had their eyes closed, and the flashbangs had not disappeared.
"Is it dawn?" the pirates asked puzzled.
They instinctively felt that something was wrong. It was only midnight now, and the sun was still sleeping. What caused the sky to become like this?
Just when everyone was confused.
The seawater began to surge continuously, and the sea surface was turbulent, forming a huge vortex.
In the next moment, a huge column of water suddenly rose from the sea, like the hand of the sea god, instantly overturning the pirate ship, splashing water everywhere, stirring up exclamations and chaos.
The pirates were scattered by the violent water flow, some were swallowed by the sea, and some were hit by the water column, suffering heavy casualties.
The warship was not much better, the hull was tilted, and it looked like it was about to be overturned by the sea, and the people of the naval fleet grabbed the railings in a panic.
The battle between the two sides was interrupted by this sudden deep-sea threat, and they all looked up at the chaotic situation on the sea, revealing horrified expressions.
The deep-sea behemoth swam leisurely, its eyes flashing with a trace of indifference, as if staring at the frozen sea, its existence made the entire sea area more dangerous and mysterious.
