Chapter 146: White Strips in the Waves
Since its establishment into the Pirates of the Caribbean, Xin Sheng has been thinking about a question.
The main story clearly takes place in the Caribbean Sea, why did the system throw him on a distant Pacific island?
Before meeting Mrs. Qing, Xin Sheng had no idea, but at this time he had a vague guess in his mind.
‘Mrs. Qing is one of the nine pirate lords. She has one of the tokens sealing Coreybuso on her body. It would not be…’
Each pirate lord has the tokens that originally sealed Coreybuso, which are collectively called Baliyal.
Just like there are usually five of the four kings, there are nine people holding the Spanish silver coin, and these tokens have nothing to do with Spanish silver coin. This name is just a face-saving project.
Due to the suppression of pirates by the goddess of ocean Colibuso, the first Pirate Guild members were poor and could only use the items they carried with them as tokens to seal Corlibuso.
...To put it bluntly, it is actually nine pieces of miscellaneous items.
These nine tokens are also the identity symbols of the nine pirate lords, and those who hold them are qualified to participate in the pirate lord assembly.
"It's interesting."
Xin Sheng looked at the large Jung ship with a smile.
As expected, the other party asked the Jackdaw to give up resistance and hand over the property on the ship and the ship itself.
"Ha~ Let them dream."
Xin Sheng's face turned cold: "Shengfan! The gunner is in place and be ready for battle!"
"Kegan comes to the helm, Barnabas, you come and find a breakthrough."
"Yes, Captain!"
Xin Sheng quickly entered the captain's room and took off a long strip of white cloth from the weapon stand.
"It's time for you to show your power."
...
"Madam Qing, they were unwilling to surrender, and even raised sails, probably trying to escape."
"snort!"
Mrs. Qing's eyes were almost blind and could only capture a vague light source.
But Mrs. Qing has been circulating in the Pacific for decades and has gained great reputation. The disease in her eyes did not affect her status in the minds of the pirates under her.
"The ships scattered and surrounded the enemy ships."
"Get close to the distance to prepare for the boarding battle, I want to leave that ship for myself."
Although I was unwilling to admit it, China in this era did have a big gap with Europe in shipbuilding technology.
Since the Jackdaw appeared along the East China Sea coast, Mrs. Qing has received frequent information about her.
After long-term observation, the pirates under Mrs. Qing guessed the basic data of the Jackdaw.
Such a warship with a balance of nearly perfection will be jealous when anyone sees it, just like Captain Jack Sparrow's Black Pearl.
Barnabas guessed their meaning through the movements of the enemy ships.
"Captain, the enemy intends to surround us and start a platoon battle, and their target may be the Jackdaw itself."
Xin Sheng nodded calmly: "As expected, do your own work well and leave the rest to me."
"Swish!"
Tear the white cloth wrapped around the long weapon, Xin Sheng held it in the middle of the Poseidon Trident.
The cold energy flowed into his body, and Xin Sheng could feel that the power of this trident was gradually commencing with his Yishu bloodline.
"The left side cannon is ready to... open fire!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Before being surrounded by enemy ships, Barnabas was the first to issue an attack order.
Under the control of Kegan, Jackdaw flexibly avoided the siege of enemy ships and orbited the sea through the maneuvering advantage of the wind.
The 19 artillery pieces on the left side opened fire one after another, and the fierce firepower forced the enemy ship to move and dodge, temporarily setting aside some distance.
"Barnabas, guide the direction, target, enemy flagship."
Mrs. Qing’s flagship is called Pinghai, which is a large Jung ship built against Zheng He’s treasure ship.
Under the control of the legendary crew's precise sailing technology, the Jackdaw almost does not stall between tailwind and headwind conversions.
Under the precise guidance of Barnabas, the Jackdaw successfully broke out of the encirclement that the enemy fleet had not yet been fully formed with its opportunistic power advantage and advanced at a high speed towards the direction of the Pinghai.
Standing on the side of the deck, Xin Sheng took a deep breath.
"Be ready for evacuation at any time, and immediately leave the battle when I come back."
"no problem!"
After finishing the explanation, Xin Sheng jumped out of the boat with Poseidon's scepter, and soon there was no trace after diving into the water.
With the underwater breathing ability granted by Poseidon's scepter, Xin Sheng broke through the boiling water and quickly approached the Pinghai from the sea like a swimming fish.
The Pinghai's lookout hand was very puzzled by Xin Sheng's actions in the water. At this time, the two ships were still more than 200 meters apart, so it was impossible to dive and swim.
"boom!"
The Jackdaw's artillery began to roar again. The lookout hand didn't care about finding Xin Sheng's whereabouts and loudly told the pilot and captain below the preview of the enemy ship's movement.
Mrs. Qing squinted her eyes and tried to observe the situation of the battle, but her eyes could no longer provide useful information.
‘Oh ~’
As soon as people get older, they have to accept their old age. If they hadn't found a suitable successor, Mrs. Qing would have wanted to return to the inland to be a rich woman and enjoy her old age peacefully.
"Crash!"
Mrs. Qing, whose face was a little dull, suddenly heard a violent sound of water. Losing eyesight made her hearing more sensitive than ordinary people.
"What sound? Zhang Da? What happened?"
"This, this!"
The servant who was supporting him beside Mrs. Qing had some tongue knots, and looked at the enemy who had jumped up from the sea in disbelief. The trident in the other party's hand reflected a silver light under the noon sunlight.
"Mrs. Qing, some people... some people jumped out from under the sea!"
"Down the sea? Jump?"
Mrs. Qing frowned. She was also a person who had experienced strong storms and knew that there were many things in this world that were difficult to explain with common sense.
"Da~"
Xin Sheng jumped unscientifically in the water and landed steadily on the deck, taking advantage of the surprise of the islands on the Pinghai River to act quickly.
"clang!"
The Poseidon trident was inserted upside down on the deck, and Xin Sheng used the body of the trident as a support pole to jump high.
After sorting out his posture in the air, Xin Sheng popped out the hook blade in his sleeve sword and grabbed the cable connecting the sails, and slid down at a high speed towards the rudder platform where Mrs. Qing was located.
"Protect Mrs. Qing!"
He was startled by Xin Sheng's unexpected surprise attack, and the pirates' reaction was obviously half a beat slower.
When they surrounded Mrs. Qing, Xin Sheng had already released his hook blade and landed steadily, placing his sleeve sword on Mrs. Qing's neck with a somewhat surprised expression.
"Old lady, don't move, the sword will not be eye-catching."
The Chinese with a straight and rounded Chinese made Mrs. Qing’s brows stir: “Han people? Manchu people?”
Xin Sheng smiled and said, "Of course it's Han people, otherwise why should I attack the merchant ships of the Dog Tartars along the way?"
The prototype of Mrs. Qing, Zheng Yisao, was one of the four famous thieves of the Han family in the late Ming Dynasty. These pirates never recognized the rule of Manchus and continued to rampantly on the sea after the Qing Dynasty stabilized.
Mrs. Qing was a little surprised: "Junior, what is your identity on that ship, what do you want?"
Xin Sheng chuckled: "Craves? That's my ship. As for what I want..."
