Four warships slowly approached the north shore and approached Rhodes' ship.
The many naval lieutenants on the warship all had serious expressions and stood ready with swords in hand. The person they wanted to arrest was the ghost-hand Rhodes who had caused chaos in the West Sea. Even if he was led by a major general sent by his headquarters, he did not dare to be too aggressive. Too careless.
"Reporting to the captain, the enemy ship is about to enter the bombardment range. Are you ready to bombard it?"
On one of the warships, the major in charge of the artillery asked a colonel on the ship.
The colonel looked at the Ghost Hand pirate ship in the distance and said: "The order from the main ship has not been issued yet, please wait."
"Colonel..."
The major hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "With all due respect, the ghost-hand Rhodes is ruthless and cruel. Everyone who has seen him calls him a devil. We should try our best to avoid direct combat with him and kill him directly." It’s better to take the ship and smash it into pieces on the sea.”
"That makes sense, but do you want to give orders beyond your authority? And the ghost-hand Ross may not be on the ship."
When the colonel said this, he snorted coldly and said: "Don't worry, there is a ghost spider major general sent by the headquarters. Even if the ghost-hand Ross is really a devil, he will have to go to hell!"
While the two were talking, the order from the main ship finally came.
"Prepare all artillery fire, aim at enemy ships, and prepare for bombardment!"
After Ghost Spider's order was issued, the navies on the five warships breathed a sigh of relief and took action, filling the cannons with shells and aiming at Ross's pirate ship.
A pirate ship like Rhodes can be destroyed by five warships with only one salvo, leaving not even a single intact ship plank left.
However.
Just as several warships were approaching Rhodes' pirate ship and were about to enter the bombardment range, a figure suddenly jumped up from the ship, fell into the sea, and ran across the sea.
"That's... a person?"
"It's Ghost Hand Ross! That guy can actually run on the sea!"
Seeing the running figure, many sailors were stunned for a moment, and then they all reacted, their eyes widening with surprise.
Seeing Ross' figure heading towards one of the warships, the navy on several warships reacted one after another, and a colonel shouted directly:
"Don't let him get close!"
"Aim at Ghost Hand Ross and bombard!"
Many sailors on the warship had already prepared for the bombardment. When they heard the command from their commander, they suppressed their shock, slightly turned the angle of the gun barrel, and aimed at Ross.
boom! boom! boom!
In the smoke of gunpowder, countless artillery shells bombarded Ross running on the sea like a violent storm, completely covering the area.
Standing on the main warship, Rear Admiral Guizizhi of the headquarters had a cigarette in his mouth. Looking at this scene, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said:
"He actually rushed over on the sea. Do you really think that the warship's gunfire is just a display? Even I don't dare to do that."
There was a hint of sarcasm on his face.
However.
Almost at the next moment, all the water splashed up by the cannonballs on the sea fell back into the sea. The ridicule on the Ghost Spider's face froze, because Ross's figure continued to run, without any scars on his body, and even None of the clothes got wet.
"How can it be?"
Ghost Spider was surprised.
Just when he frowned and wanted to continue checking, the artillery fire from several warships launched another bombardment, once again covering the area where Rhodes was located within the range of artillery fire.
However, this salvo of artillery fire still failed to leave a single trace on Rhodes. Even whether it was the rain of shells or the splashing waves, Rhodes passed directly through it.
"wrong!"
This time Ghost Spider finally realized something was wrong.
Because not only was Rhodes not affected by the cannonballs and waves, there was not even any water splashing under his feet, as if his whole body had no weight at all.
Thinking back to Ross' ability in the intelligence, Ghost Spider suddenly screamed in his heart, "Be careful! That one on the sea is a phantom created by his ability!"
However.
It was obviously too late to realize it at this time.
I saw that 'Rhodes' running on the sea had approached a small warship. After jumping, he jumped directly onto the warship.
This fall actually made the sound of feet stepping on the ship's board. It was obvious that at some point, Ross's body and phantom had completely overlapped.
"you… "
A naval colonel on the warship looked at Rhodes who rushed to the warship, showing a hint of horror. In a panic, he tried to order his navy to raise their muskets and attack Rhodes.
but.
Before he could give his order, he saw that the ship plank under Ross's feet suddenly showed a strange twist.
The ship's planks made of hardwood seemed to suddenly turn into waves, with Rhodes as the center, rippling and twisting in all directions, and the entire hull made an overwhelming clicking sound.
boom! boom! boom!
In panic, the navy fired at the position where Rhodes was, but Rhodes had no intention of dodge. He spread his hands to both sides, and the bullets that were fired touched his hands and body, or Twisting around, or going straight to rest.
Under the horrified gaze of the navies on several other warships, this small warship, which was dozens of meters long, appeared strangely twisted and folded in the middle, like an invisible giant holding a ship model with both hands. Applying force to the side, it will eventually collapse completely!
"Damn it!"
When Ghost Spider saw this scene, he couldn't help but cursed angrily. The cigarette in his mouth had already been bitten off by him, and he looked angrily at the location where the warship collapsed.
The warship was twisted by the forceful spiral and turned into a twist. After losing the effect of the twisting force, the ship's planks shattered and shattered completely.
At this time, Rhodes' figure jumped up from it and rushed towards the second warship.
"Bombardment! Bombardment!"
The navy on the other warship looked at the rushing Ross and the shattered warship behind with almost no intact ship plank. They almost lost their souls.
However, even though the colonel on the ship gave the order, countless artillery fires were fired at Rhodes, but they still passed through Rhodes. Apparently, at some point, Rhodes running on the sea became a phantom again.
boom!
After the salvo of artillery fire, Rhodes' figure rushed to the second warship again. He pressed one hand on the bulkhead of the warship's cabin. The power of distortion was suddenly activated, and the entire cabin showed strange distortions. After a while, With a clicking sound, it turned into a spiral cake.
"Stop it!"
A naval colonel held a long sword in his hand and roared towards Ross. The long sword in his hand swung out with all his strength, carrying a weak sword energy, and slashed towards Ross.
Ross had no intention of evading, and raised his other hand to grab the void. The sword energy fell into his hand, and suddenly it was like a small snake. It twisted a few times and then collapsed and shattered. Then the colonel chopped down the sword. Feng was also held in his fingers.
"Fragile swordsmanship."
The power of this sword was comparable to that of Colonel Moby back then, but for him now, it was already within his reach at his fingertips.
