On the blue sea.
A medium-sized warship from the Navy branch was sailing at full speed through the wind and waves.
"Report to the Colonel! The Flo Pirates' ship has been spotted ahead!"
"Yeah?"
The naval captain in charge of the warship came to the deck, picked up his binoculars and looked at a blurry black spot in the distance, and immediately saw the Flo Pirates' ship parked on the sea.
As the distance got closer, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, because the ship of the Flo Pirates was obviously a little broken, and it seemed that it had just experienced a big battle.
"Everyone is ready. Once we enter the range, the bombardment will begin immediately!"
The naval captain frowned and thought for a moment, then issued the order.
…
"Navy ship?"
Ross withdrew from the practice of training his fruit ability, took the telescope from Robin's hand, looked in the direction Robin pointed, and immediately saw a warship approaching at full speed.
Robin's eyes flickered slightly, and he stood next to Ross and said softly: "If nothing else, they should be coming for the Flo Pirates."
"Um."
Ross nodded, but whether it was for the Flo Pirates or for them, there was no difference now.
And just when Ross put down the telescope, a familiar and crisp system synthesized sound suddenly came to his ears.
"In view of the changes in the host's living environment and the host's unique dark view of justice, the talent system will be optimized. The optimization content is as follows..."
"In addition to hunting pirates to gain talent proficiency and free talent points, defeating the admiral who comes to hunt down the host can also gain talent proficiency and free talent points as rewards. The diminishing rewards are not the same as hunting pirates. Share.”
"Note: The acquisition of this reward is only effective for the highest general in the navy that is chasing the host, and the lowest is rear admiral."
Ross listened to the voice in his ears. After being slightly stunned, a smile appeared on his face. This kind of optimization and upgrade was obviously what he wanted to see.
"After this optimization, the host can directly view the hunting reward range corresponding to the pirate's bounty amount and the defeat reward range corresponding to the admiral's position in the system panel."
"Ding! This optimization is complete!"
The second optimization also made Ross slightly startled. After the last sound of the system fell, he turned on the talent system with a thought.
In the upper right corner of the talent system page, there was a special reward symbol that was not available before. Ross looked at it and opened it.
Pirate Hunt:
5 to 8 million Baileys... 3 people have been hunted
8-10 million Baileys... 2 people have been hunted
10-12 million beli... 2 people have been hunted
12-15 million beli... 2 people have been hunted
15-20 million beli... 1 person has been hunted
20-30 million beli... 1 person has been hunted
…
The pirate hunt on the left records all the pirates that Rhodes has hunted so far, and clearly indicates each reward interval and decreasing interval, which is completely consistent with Rhodes's previous conjecture.
If you hunt pirates with a bounty within a certain range multiple times, the talent proficiency rewards you will receive will decrease in sequence. If you hunt a pirate in a new range for the first time, you will definitely get one free talent point.
The bounty is more than 30 million, and there are multiple ranges.
Fifty million is a dividing line, and every additional 100 million from 100 million to 500 million is a dividing line. Above that, there are only three intervals left, namely 500 million to 800 million, 800 million to 1.2 billion, and 100 million. More than 200 million!
"It's a very clear division, but the strength of many pirates in this world cannot be directly divided simply by bounties."
Ross looked up and down, then turned to look to the right.
Defeat the navy:
Rear Admiral… 0 people defeated
Vice Admiral… 0 people defeated
Admiral... 0 people have been defeated
Admiral... 0 people have been defeated
The navy on the right was defeated, and all of them were zero. Rhodes has never defeated a navy at the rank of rear admiral.
"It's a bad division. Although the major generals of the branch and the major generals of the headquarters are both major generals, the difference in strength is not at the same level."
Ross shook his head.
Not distinguishing between the major generals of the branch and the major generals of the headquarters meant that the rewards he could get were part of them, and he was naturally not very satisfied.
After quickly reading the new query page, Rhodes exited the talent system.
When he looked at the sea in the distance again, the naval warship had already zoomed in a long distance, and he could see the outline of the warship clearly without using a telescope.
"The wind direction is from the southeast... the wind force is close to level 6..."
"Robin, put on full sail and get out of here."
Ross looked at the direction of the wind, thought for a moment, and then gave instructions to Robin next to him.
The deterrent power of a naval warship is extraordinary. The cannons it carries are far more powerful than this pirate ship in terms of firepower. In addition, it is heading against the wind. If it charges head-on, it will not even have a chance to get close, and it will be bombed into pieces.
The navy on the warship is vulnerable, but facing the gunfire of a medium-sized warship, even the rear admiral of the navy headquarters has to give in.
most of the time.
The reason why the navy can chase pirates around is because the naval warships' artillery fire is extremely fierce. Not every pirate can withstand the bombardment, at least Rhodes can't resist it now.
"yes."
Robin is also very aware of the deterrent power of warships. If Ross had not given the order, she would have ordered the pirates to pack up the sails and leave here.
The five pirates also knew the terror of naval warships and had already been prepared. After hearing the instructions conveyed by Robin, they immediately hoisted the full sail and set sail.
The warships in the distance saw that the ship of the Flo Pirates was about to escape, and they chased after it. They even fired a few tentative cannon fires in an attempt to break the mast of the pirate ship, but they were unable to hit it due to the distance. .
Although the warship's gunfire is powerful, it is too heavy. Even if it is equipped with a turbine device, when the wind reaches a certain level, it still cannot catch up with the brisk pirate ship.
After all, the vast majority of pirates just grab and run away, and few pirates build heavy warships to compete with the navy. The Flo Pirates' ship is just a light sailing ship.
finally.
The warship could only watch as the Flo Pirates' ship got further and further away, turning into a black spot on the horizon and disappearing at the end of the field of vision.
"It would be great if I could point out the moon steps."
Ross stood on the top of the cabin, looked at the endless sea and shook his head.
If he had Moon Step by his side, he could directly cross the sea in the air, ignore the warship's gunfire, jump from the air to the warship, and then sink the warship.
but.
The warship just now was probably led by a naval colonel from a certain branch. There was no reward for defeating the naval colonel. Ross had no sense of gain or loss.
With the talent system, it won't be long before he is able to ignore navy warships. By then, any navy that dares to pursue him will sink into the sea!
Whoosh!
Ross jumped from the cabin roof and came to Robin's side.
"Robin, how many supplies are left on the ship?"
"For seven people, it's enough to survive for two to three months." Robin thought briefly.
Ross nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. Now I need you to compile for me the information you know about all the pirates in the West Sea whose bounties are higher than 15 million Baileys."
"no problem."
