“Fly our flag!”
Following Fang Yuan's order, a black skull pirate flag was raised on the Mockingjay.
A commotion immediately appeared on the pirate ship opposite, followed by roars.
Obviously, as far as the Tiger Pirates are concerned, such an old friend turned against him, and after a brief period of shock, he immediately prepared for battle.
"Your Excellency Captain?"
Bill moved slightly closer to Fang Yuan: "Why don't you send out a friendly signal and then move closer to attack? The other party doesn't know that a sudden change has just occurred on our ship!"
"For pirates, the little friendship they had before is not as good as the feathers of a seagull, let alone at this time when they are making a lot of money... Once we get close, they will definitely attack!"
Fang Yuan shook his head, and his expression suddenly became arrogant: "Besides... with my blessing, if you can't win overwhelmingly, then what's the point of me having you?"
The cold words immediately made Bill shiver. He knew that the captain was telling the truth!
Boom!
At this time, the pirate ship on the opposite side opened fire.
Cannonballs fell in the sea near the Mockingjay, splashing large amounts of seawater.
"Get closer!"
Fang Yuan held up his command sword and shouted angrily: "Where are our artillerymen? Counterattack! Counterattack!"
Unfortunately, the previous crew members were killed too much by him. Now, even if he could barely gather the manpower, the artillery fire was sparse, especially the accuracy, which was so low that it made people want to cry.
boom!
At this moment, a shell accurately hit the deck of the Mockingjay, blasting a large hole and leaving a bloody mess around it.
"Get away!"
Fang Yuan stepped forward, kicked the helmsman away, and took the helm himself.
He finally saw clearly that if the two ships really fired their cannons at each other, his Mockingjay would definitely end up being shattered to pieces.
The only hope is to engage in a head-on battle with the opponent.
Under his control, the Mockingjay was as nimble as a sea fish, moving through the shell fire net and getting closer.
"Everyone has... attack!"
Fang Yuan shouted loudly.
At the same time, several shells fell hard on the Mockingjay, leaving it riddled with holes.
But at this point, Mockingjay has completed its mission.
boom!
Amidst the exclamations from the other side, its collision angle hit the middle of the opposite pirate ship hard, almost cutting it off at the waist.
"Jie Jie!"
The butcher laughed wildly and jumped from the bow of the ship onto the opposite pirate ship. With a sweep of his giant knife, several of the surrounding pirates looked horrified and were cut off at the waist.
"Ah..." "Help!"
Screams came one after another.
In fact, this situation is similar to the ancient halving, which is very inhumane. Some pirates can even survive for a while after their bodies are broken in two, crawling on the ground, trying hard to connect their bodies.
Even those murderous pirates felt their hands and feet were cold and their scalps were numb after seeing this tragic sight.
"kill!"
When the pirates on the Mockingjay saw this scene, their morale was greatly boosted. They followed the Butcher and started killing.
Dang Dang!
After a few crisp sounds, the pirates of the Tiger Pirates looked at the long swords and scimitars in their hands that were broken into two pieces in shock, and then were easily hacked to death in shock.
"Haha... This is the fight I want!"
The butcher split a pirate leader into two pieces and laughed heartily.
Even though they are not as numerous as each other, with the captain's blessing, they can crush them in all aspects of strength.
By this time, the battle situation had begun to become one-sided.
"Ho ho ho!"
Suddenly, a tiger roar came from the opposite side.
A black shadow rushed out like a tiger, grabbed a pirate, and tore it apart with both hands. The pirate was broken into two pieces, with blood flowing freely.
"Fred is crazy and dares to attack me, but looking at you...could it be that he obtained some secret treasure, or something happened on the Mockingjay?"
The black shadow stopped and the figure of a pirate captain appeared.
He is tall, has bronze skin, wears a black-spotted animal skin robe, and has a dozen braids of different shapes on his head.
"Leader of the Tiger Pirates—Tiger?!"
When the butcher saw this man, a fearful and solemn expression appeared on his face.
"It seems... something did happen on the Mockingjay... But it doesn't matter. Since you chose to declare war on me, you must be prepared to pay the price!"
Tiger struck a pose, like a tiger pouncing on food.
The weapons he used were also very strange. They were ten sharp metal finger gloves, which made his hands seem to turn into the claws of beasts.
Tiger-Tiger!
This is the most powerful person in the Tiger Pirates, and he even tore apart a naval brigade with his hands. According to rumors, he is also a mysterious transcendent.
"I've wanted to fight you for a long time!"
A hint of fanaticism appeared on the butcher's face: "Except the captain, no one can be stronger than me!"
puff!
He swung the giant knife, and a whirlwind seemed to hang on the ground.
Zizzi!
A black shadow flashed in mid-air, and a string of sparks appeared.
The two figures quickly crossed each other and stood still.
"Nice knife, but unfortunately, your speed is too slow!"
Tiger licked his steel claw, and there was a trace of blood on it.
"Damn it!"
The butcher looked at the claw marks on his body with a gloomy expression.
Of course, such a minor injury cannot make him lose his fighting ability, but judging from the superior, if he continues to fight with the opponent, the end will definitely not be good.
"Step aside… "
At this time, an indifferent voice came.
The butcher tensed up and subconsciously moved out of the way.
"Are you... the new pirate captain? It seems like that loser Fred has been fed to the sharks..."
Tiger's expression turned serious as never before, and he stared at Fang Yuan.
His beast-like intuition told him that the reason why the pirates on the other side had undergone such radical changes was entirely because of the man in front of them.
Danger! very dangerous!
A tremor suddenly spread throughout Tiger's body.
"The leader of the Tiger Pirates, right? I'll give you a chance, kneel down and surrender to me! I will spare your life..."
At this time, Fang Yuan spoke in a low voice.
"Forgive me...boy!"
Tiger's face turned ferocious, his fangs exposed, as if he had really turned into a big tiger and pounced.
"rise!"
Fang Yuan curled his fingers.
Wow!
On the ground, layers of wooden boards floated up in the air, blocking the black shadow.
"Ho ho ho!"
Tiger swung his sharp claws repeatedly, tearing apart the wooden board, and rushed in front of Fang Yuan.
puff!
Immediately, he plunged into a huge water balloon.
A water ball with a diameter of three meters was suspended in front of Fang Yuan. Inside it was a pirate captain who was struggling as if he was drowning.
After seeing this scene, the pirates of the Tiger Pirate Group instantly lost their fighting spirit, and some even raised their hands to surrender.
"Magician!"
"The boss must be a magician!"
Seeing this scene, the pirates on the Mockingjay, especially Bill, strengthened their suspicions.
"Useless guy, I thought... you could bring me more fun!"
A look of disinterest appeared on Fang Yuan's face and he snapped his fingers.
The water ball slowly floated up, and Tiger, trapped in it, was like a little bug in amber.
"fire!"
Fang Yuan spat out a syllable again, and a ball of flame instantly burned in the water, turning Tiger into ashes.
Wow!
The water ball exploded and turned into little drops of rain.
"If you don't want to be like him, surrender!"
Fang Yuan's eyes scanned the entire audience.
Suddenly, the Tiger Pirates, who had already lost their battle, immediately chose to surrender.
A large number of pirates dropped their weapons and raised their hands.
"Bill, all the prisoners are under your care. Butcher, you go and take control of the merchant ships behind!"
Fang Yuan quickly issued orders.
At the same time, a fine iron ring fell on his hand.
This is the only relic left by Tiger, the former leader of the Tiger Pirates, after the water ball burned.
And Fang Yuan fell in love with it, of course because of the mysterious power lingering on it.
[Tiger Ring]
[Materials: Fine iron, animal blood, beast spirit]
[Explanation: This ring uses the power of black magic to seal the soul of a tiger. The spirit of the tiger can be summoned once a day to possess it, gaining speed and strength bonuses]
[Status: intact]
…
"It's a nice little thing. I think the reason why Tiger is rumored to be a supernatural being is also thanks to it..."
Fang Yuan lost the ring on his hand.
This extraordinary item cannot be compared to the power he borrowed from me in terms of increase, so it would be a complete waste to put it in his hands.
But if it is given to a subordinate, another Tiger can be created immediately.
Almost without thinking, he already had a suitable candidate in his heart.
Sporadic shouts of killing came, and not long after, the butcher came to the news that the merchant ship had been pacified.
After all, the main force of the Tiger Pirates were here, and they were either annihilated or captured. The remaining merchant ships who maintained the basic operation of the ships and guarded the prisoners had no ability to resist.
"Your Excellency Captain..."
At dusk, when the sun gradually disappeared into the horizon, Fang Yuan drank rum while listening to the reports of his two subordinates.
"...This time, we captured thirty-seven pirate prisoners. At the same time, the Tiger has become our trophy. Captain Tiger alone can contribute more than a thousand gold galleons to us!"
Bill said respectfully.
"This merchant ship comes from the Rose Merchant Guild. The goods on it are spices and silk. The sales are very hot. It is estimated to be worth two to three thousand gold galleons - of course, this is the price handled by the pirate port. Those black-hearted merchants always like to kill people. "
The butcher muttered dissatisfiedly, and then showed a man's understanding smile: "And... Sir Captain, this time on the merchant ship, I also found some interesting prisoners, who seemed to be people on the original ship, including a beautiful Where’s the noble lady!”
For pirates, it is natural for the captain to divide first and take the best things.
