Etwall, Stourport waters.
This is the sea area ruled by Whitebeard, but it is located on the edge, and the territory occupied by Whitebeard is the largest and largest among all the four emperors.
boom! boom!
Cannonballs pierced the sky one after another and fell on the sea, causing explosive waves to splash everywhere.
I saw three ships flying the flags of different pirate groups, pursuing from two directions a ship that looked a little damaged and seemed to have experienced a big battle.
The flag representing the 'Ghost Hand' was hung on the ship's mast.
on deck.
Kaku is standing there, one of his arms is bandaged and hanging on his chest. There are blood stains on the bandage. There is also a bandage wrapped horizontally around his waist. There is a faint blood stain overflowing, and the injury is not serious.
At this moment, a cannonball fell from the sky and hit Kaku's head straight.
boom!
A figure jumped up, rushed into the sky, exploded the cannonball with its fist, and fell back to the ship in the smoke. The figure looked very embarrassed, as if it had experienced a battle.
Bruno, who blocked a cannonball for Kaku, gritted his teeth and looked at the three pirate ships of the Whitebeard Pirates that were chasing after him.
"Kaku, if this continues, we may not be able to stop you."
"Keep on holding on..."
Kaku was seriously injured, but he stood on the deck with a cold expression on his face.
"Captain Shiliu is already on his way."
boom!
A cannonball fell and hit the edge of the hull, causing the entire ship to shake.
Soon a man covered in water ran out of the cabin in a panic and said: "Master Kaku, a hole was blown in the side of the ship, and water came in!"
“…”
Kaku gritted his teeth slightly and said: "Where's Nuchi? Let him help and plug the hole first!"
A hole was blasted in the edge of the hull, and it was not easy to plug it. Moreover, he, Gabra, and Bruno were all ability users, so they could only ask No. 4 Nurito to help.
"Yes! But then there will be no one to defend the starboard side."
"I can't control that much."
Kaku said in a deep voice, "Anyway, this ship can't be sunk yet!"
There is still some distance to the nearest island. If he was in his heyday, he might be able to fly there by moonwalk, but now most people are tired and tired, and without the boat, they will be buried in the sea.
Although Bruno's Door Fruit can open doors in the air and span a certain space, it has a large distance limit. It is impossible to open the door between two islands with his ability.
"Kaku..."
Bruno's face was a little gloomy and he said, "Is it still too late?"
The Whitebeard Pirates moved very quickly, but their escape direction was towards their home base, and they had been chasing them for a long time.
"must be able to."
Kaku spoke coldly and said: "Captain Shiliu may not come so soon, but the people from the nearest third division have already been dispatched."
The Whitebeard Pirates are like a wasp's nest, they will immediately swarm out when poked, but the same goes for the Ghost Hand Pirates!
Nowadays, the power network of the Ghost Hand Pirates is gradually being spread out. Shiru and the others who are stationed in the sea of all nations may be slow to arrive, but there are people from other divisions who are closer and dispatched earlier. .
boom! boom! boom!
Since the ships were very far apart, several ships under the Whitebeard Pirates were bombarded from a distance, and ordinary long-range attacks could not hit the ship Kaku and others were on.
There are many people who can moonwalk in the New World, but not many. At least they are at the level of cadres. On these ships of the Whitebeard Pirates, there are not many cadres who can moonwalk, and they dare not step on them. Zuoyuebu rushed to Kaku and others' ship alone.
"Keep banging me!"
"Harder, don't stop!"
On the three ships under Whitebeard's command, the captains and officers all raised their swords and commanded their men to load cannonballs to bombard the ships of Kaku and others.
But a pirate's ship is a pirate's ship after all, and the power of its cannon fire is far less than that of a warship. Even if there are three ships, the cannonball net formed cannot destroy Kaku's ship in a short time.
The ship of Kaku and others was a light sailing ship. It would have been faster originally, but due to the damage to the hull, it was now unable to get rid of Whitebeard's ship, so they could only keep running away.
One hour…
Two hours…
Time passes little by little.
The damage to Kaku's ship became more and more serious, and it was gradually overwhelmed.
At this moment, two cannonballs suddenly and accurately crossed two arcs and fell towards the hull. One hit the deck and the other hit the mast.
Bruno blocked the one that hit the deck, but he was helpless against the one that hit the mast.
boom!
Amidst the smoke, the shell hit the top of the mast.
Click!
About one-third of the top of the huge mast was shattered and broken. The sails were also broken with the top of the mast, and could no longer bear the wind and carry the ship.
"Well done!"
"Hahaha, let's see how they can run away now!"
There was a sound of sinister laughter coming from the three ships under Whitebeard's command.
When the people on Kaku's boat saw the mast broken, their expressions changed. Without the sail, the hull and even the power were gone, and the people behind could catch up immediately.
"I come!"
Bruno gritted his teeth, jumped up to stare at the mast, hugged the broken mast, and pressed it to the broken branch with his arms.
"This won't work...he won't last long."
Kaku looked up, his face still a little depressed. If he were in full strength, with Bruno's strength, he could hold on to the mast for a while.
But after experiencing a naval battle and a chase that has not stopped yet, Bruno doesn't have much physical strength left at all, and he can't hold on like this for long.
Moreover, the mast was severely damaged and the ship could no longer reach the previous speed.
but.
Just as Kaku clenched his fists, Bruno, who was holding the mast, suddenly looked up and looked at the sea in the distance, with a surprise expression on his face.
"Kaku! Our people are coming!"
"Um?"
When Kaku heard this, he also became excited. He suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see three boat silhouettes appearing on the sea level over there.
The navigator standing next to Kaku took out his telescope and took a look. He clearly saw that the three ships were flying the flag of the Ghost Hand Pirates, and the number 'three' was marked on them.
"It's reinforcements from the Third Division!"
He put down the telescope and almost jumped for joy. The feeling of being on the verge of death but suddenly surviving the desperate situation made it impossible for anyone to remain calm.
Kaku took a deep breath, took a look through the binoculars, and said: "Three ships... It seems that a large force has been dispatched."
Although Fischerman, the captain of the third team, is not here, the vice-captain and the cadres under his command are also outstanding people, and they often deal with them.
The captain of the sixth team is Robin, and Kaku's current position is the vice-captain of the sixth team. Gabra, Bruno and others occupy three and four seats respectively.
