Chapter 254 The Guest

Following the captain's order, the sailors got busy, and the square sails on the three masts were retracted one by one. Immediately after, there was a vibration from below the hull. Sifa came to the edge of the ship to look down, but saw nothing. I saw that the waves near the hull suddenly grew a little bigger, as if something heavy had fallen from the boat, causing waves.

"What's a flywheel." Edward's voice came, he was wearing a white linen shirt and a pair of beige trousers. If it wasn't for the fact that he had been tanned and rough recently, even wearing such simple clothes, Edward's poetic and painterly blended temperament would still make it difficult to connect him with pirates.

"That is a human-powered device." It was not Sifer who answered this question, but Frank, "There are several huge flywheel devices on the bottom of the Wave Breaker. In this case, the bottom plate will be opened to let the flywheels go into the water. Then use human power to Pedal, set the flywheels in motion, and let them take the place of the sails, like a chariot on the sea."

Edward wondered: "There is such a device, how do you know, have you seen it before?"

Frank shook his head, and said something irrelevant: "It's just a professional habit."

Xifa guessed that he probably "visited" the ship inside and out after boarding the Breaker. After all, this is a "thief". It is normal for a thief to step on every place he goes.

Soon, Xifa felt the movement of the ship. He looked towards the sea, and the Wavebreaker was setting off a wave, chasing the Intis merchant ship in front at a faster speed against the wind.

After a while, the Intis Merchant Ship was within sight.

The captain stood on the bow and shouted: "Listen to the ships ahead, I am Commodore Iron-Blooded Ken Angus. I order you to stop, it is for your own good."

"I don't have the habit of killing indiscriminately, so if you are willing to cooperate, I can guarantee that only property will be looted, and I will not kill people or hijack your personnel. But if you do not cooperate, then don't blame us for being rude .”

Although he shouted like this, the captain still made a gesture of "ready to fire". The second officer Vincent saw this and immediately issued an order: "All artillery is ready to fire deterrently."

"Three, two, one, fire!"

Boom boom boom—

Amidst the deafening sound of cannon fire, water columns exploded around the merchant ship. This was a deterrent fire, and the shells only fell into the sea, rather than hitting the ship directly.

However, the merchant ship still has no intention of stopping, and it seems that the captain intends to struggle.

Ken giggled twice, picked up a microphone, and shouted at the sailors in the bilge: "Boys, show off your drive to pursue the lady, give me more energy, and catch up!"

The Breaking Wave immediately increased its speed, broke through the waves, and pushed towards the Intis merchant ship, preparing to get close to the opponent's ship's side.

Xifa vaguely heard that someone on the opposite ship yelled 'full starboard', and the merchant ship began to turn, so as not to expose one side of the hull to the many gun ports of the Breaker.

Ken stopped being polite and gestured.

Vincent immediately yelled: "Fire, shoot!"

This time it was no longer a deterrent attack. The shells crossed the water, hit the deck of the merchant ship, and blew off their masts, causing exclamations and screams from the opposite ship.

The Breaking Wave stuck up hard, and the sailors on the deck who had prepared earlier in the morning immediately put the barbed planks on the sides of the ship, then jumped on the planks and rushed to the deck of the opposite ship.

Xifa, Edward, and Frank also followed the sailors to the opposite merchant ship, but Quincy couldn't see anyone, and presumably jumped off the ship early in the morning and invaded from the bilge.

When they landed on the deck, the guards of the merchant ship were still resisting, Sifa and the others hid behind some cargo, Edward glanced at Sifa, and then Ling sang a hymn that could make people fall asleep.

Amidst the sound of gunshots and cannons, Edward's poems fluttered on the deck. Sifa, who was hiding behind the cargo, immediately heard a sound of falling to the ground. He stood up and saw that most of the merchant ship's guards had fallen, and the rest Fighting against the sandman, it looks like he will fall to the ground and sleep at any moment.

"We surrender."

A tall man with a beard who obviously had the characteristics of Fenepot race put a revolver on the deck: "Please don't hurt us, you can keep whatever you want, but please leave us some food and water. "

So straightforward?

Xifa thought he heard it wrong, because this bearded man was the captain of the merchant ship and the owner of these goods.

Since you are going to surrender, what were you doing to resist just now? I thought it was going to be a big fight.

"What do you say?" the bearded man asked again.

Xifa looked at the Breaker, and seemed willing to leave the affairs here to Xifa and the others. Even if the merchant ship surrendered, the captain had no intention of coming over.

He looked at Edward and Edward again, seeing that they had no intention of taking up the topic, he could only step forward and say, "No problem, as long as you cooperate, you won't be hurt."

"Are you the captain?"

"Yes." The bearded man nodded.

Xifa said: "Then, call out all your people. I need to see each of them stay on the deck. I don't want any interference when we move the goods away."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The bearded man turned around and called a tall and strong man.

The nearly two-meter height reminded Xifa of Nefei, thinking that this man should be the 'warrior' among the three Extraordinary beings on board.

"Go and call everyone up, including the guest in my room." The bearded man ordered.

guest?

What guest?

Seefa looked at the cabin, and suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if something in the cabin was calling him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and took a step forward: "Wait."

Both the captain and the 'warrior' looked at him.

"I'll go down and have a look. You stay on the deck, control the rudder, lower the sails, and don't let them run away." Xifa gave Edward and the two of them a command, and walked to the cabin alone.

When passing by the captain and the 'warrior', he warned: "You are not allowed to follow, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

'Blood Praise' was already in Xifa's hand, he walked into the cabin, walked along the stairs, and came to the floor below the deck.

Turning a corner, Xifa saw a dark passage in front of him, and at the end of the passage was a staircase leading to another floor.

He trusted his inspiration and walked towards the front room by feeling.

There is a small wheel rudder hanging on the door of that room, which seems to be the captain's room.

When Xifa came to the door, he jumped back suddenly. At the same time, a gunshot sounded from the door, and there was a bullet hole in the door immediately.

Sifa was not idle either, he lowered his elbows, held the revolver firmly, and shot into the door and the wooden plank that served as the wall.

bang bang bang—

So on the deck, everyone heard a burst of gunfire from the cabin.
