Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/   The latest work of the great master Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! Chapter 24: The ship sinking

"what happened?"

The sudden collision caused the hull to tremble slightly, and Dominic shouted loudly.

"It seems that something hit the ship?" Leo walked aside and looked down, but there was nothing below.

"Boat, the boat leaks, and the sea water flows back into the cabin." A pirate shouted on the stairs.

"Old Qiaosen, where is the entrance of the hole? The size, can it be solved?"

Dominic walked over quickly and asked anxiously.

Qiao Sen looked at the entrance of the cave and replied: "The entrance of the cave is on the starboard side of the fourth compartment and will not affect the buoyancy of the entire ship. I will ask someone to remove the cargo and repair it. In addition, the sail must be stopped and cannot move forward."

"You go and do it."

Dominic said quickly, then shouted, "Prepare the sail."

The pirates immediately started to act, some carrying cargo, some lowering the sails, and the shipkeeper was responsible for repairing them.

This pirate ship has a watertight partition, which means that the bottom of the ship is separated layer by layer, and water enters one area, but the water will not enter other areas and can still maintain buoyancy.

After removing the goods, the hole can be repaired.

Watertight compartments are basically necessary for many ships in the world of One Piece to prevent attacks from marine life.

This is not a very modern technology. It appeared in ancient China and was already quite common in the Song Dynasty.

The watertight compartment not only prevents water leakage and sinking, but also strengthens the bottom of the ship, improves lateral strength, and side water pressure resistance.

...

"It's really hard."

In the distance, a figure shook his head and felt a little pain in his head. It was Xia Qiu.

This ship is harder than I thought.

When Xia Qiu saw this pirate ship, he had the idea of ​​swallowing the pirates into his stomach. He hoped to obtain more enhanced energy.

But most of them were on the boat. If they wanted to eat them themselves, the first thing they had to do was to sink the ship.

The length of this ship is about 35 meters, the hull is strong and weighs about 100 tons, so it is difficult for it to directly destroy it.

However, if you aim at a certain board near the water, smash the board and let the sea water flow backwards.

He is eighteen meters long and weighs about fifty tons. After three strengthenings, his strength is no less than that of a sea fish.

You should know that in ancient times, blue whales hit sailboats and sunk. Many wooden sailboats were hit and smashed by blue whales.

And summer and autumn also have huge impact angles, which can concentrate the force at a certain position and smash the boat boards, which is not difficult.

So Xia Qiu took advantage of the

But it was harder than I thought. I accelerated and hit me, and only knocked out a hole the size of a basin.

And judging from their appearance, the entrance of the cave did not cause much trouble.

“Do it again.”

Xia Qiu swam past the bottom of the boat, swam far away, shaking his body, and accelerating again.

Wow.

Xia Qiu turned into a black shadow and continued to rush towards the pirate ship.

"Boss, what is that?"

On the ship, Leo looked at the water in the distance and frowned.

"What?"

Dominic looked in the direction Leo pointed, narrowing his eyes, "Such a big sea fish? Did it hit it just now?"

Accompanied by their words, Xia Qiu had already come near and bumped out again. With a loud bang, the hull was shocked.

The raised skull hit the side of the boat board, which shattered directly, and a large hole appeared, and the sea water poured in.

"I've been hit again, Josen, what's the situation?" Dominic asked loudly.

"The nineteenth compartment was damaged. I have arranged for the boatman to repair it, but we need to abandon some cargo."

Qiao Sen showed his head at the stairs and said with an ugly face.

"Then throw some goods down." Dominic shouted loudly.

"Boss, we can't let that fish hit." Leo said from the side.

"I know."

Dominic shouted: "Johnson, go prepare the cannons and attack the sea fish. Leo, you take the others to attack with a spear gun and crossbow."

"yes."

Johnson and Leo immediately began to act.

Dominic raised his telescope and stared at the sea to observe, but found no trace of the sea fish.

...

"What happened? Why did the Dominic Pirates stop?" Everyone was puzzled on the merchant ship in the distance.

"It looks very panicked."

Qiao Ze held up a telescope and looked at the ship. The people on it were busy. He frowned and said, "I'm still throwing goods into the sea."

"A leak?"

The captain raised his eyebrows, picked up the telescope and looked at it, saying, "The sail has also fallen, it should be that the cabin is leaking."

"Hahaha, they have today, too." Carver laughed happily.

"Evil will be punished, and they'd better drowned here." Marcel clenched his fists.

"There are usually watertight compartments, and there will be no problem with ordinary water leakage. Moreover, there are wooden boats on their boats, and it will be fine if the boat sinks." Qiao Ze said from the side.

"And we have to be careful."

The captain put down his telescope and said, "Once their pirate ship sinks, they are likely to approach us and grab our ships. We stay away from them."

Everyone quickly turned around and opened the distance, while Marcel took Qiao Ze's telescope and continued to observe the distance.

...

“Side, port position.”

On the pirate ship, a pirate shouted loudly, and Dominic immediately ran to the port side and looked into the distance.

Bang.

The huge black shadow hit the pirate ship.

"Damn it, where is the gunner? Johnson, what are you doing? Hit him."

Dominic was furious.

Leo and several pirates raised their spear guns and aimed at the sea water, pulling the trigger.

Puff puff puff puff.

The spear gun shot into the water and stabbed the black fish, but it was unharmed.

"That kind of attack can't even tickle me."

Underwater, Xia Qiu snorted coldly, sneaked into the sea, swam far away, and began his fourth attack.

Xia Qiu crashed into two holes at the bottom of the starboard ship, one in front and the other in the back.

A hole broke out on the port side, which was staggered from the starboard side. He planned to break another hole. If he didn't believe that he wouldn't sink in such four holes.

Xia Qiushi turned around, opened a distance, and continued to rush towards the boat.

Bang, bang, bang.

The sound of artillery sounded, and three shells shot out and landed on the water around summer and autumn.

Three shells failed to hit Xia Qiu, and the other three cannons were adjusted in time to aim at Xia Qiu.

Three more cannons.

Xia Qiu suddenly accelerated, dodged two shells, and was hit by one.

However, the power of the shells was weakened by the sea water and could not cause any damage to Xia and Qiu.

Whoosh.

Xia Qiu's speed did not slow down much, and rushed straight towards the pirate ship.

"Damn it, the artillery can't even hurt him."

Dominic saw the shadow unscathed, his face looked ugly, and he was so angry that he smashed the boat gang with his hands.

Next, the cannon sounded, but Xia Qiu was approaching the ship and hit him head-on.
