"What the hell?"
"A speed limit of 100 RPM, and no special abilities required?"
"Are you going to take the lead here?"
"No way! Not guys?! You think we're not human?! Huh?! Are we even human?! Are you treating us like bots?"
"If you can do that today, not only will he call you Dad in this small sea area, but we'll all call you Dad too!"
"Boom!"
After Zheng Hao finished speaking, Zheng Yunlong did not rush to agree. Instead, the other leading "ship girls" could not hold back any longer, and disdainful shouts came from the captain's cabin.
The Black Hole Vortex Tournament a decade or so ago was nothing like the current Global Finals, where all the participants are monsters.
That year's competition was simply a race and adventure.
There were more than twenty participants in this race, but only seven ultimately took the lead. The first place went to the [Shattered Star] from back then, which entered the largest [whirlpool] alone, disdaining to compete with the ship girls from these powerful families.
The remaining six are the ones captured in the vortex footage.
Most of them were [S-rank ship girls], except for Zheng Yunlong, who only had an [A-rank ship girl], making him seem so out of place.
"Ho—"
"Mr. Zheng Yunlong, they... seem to completely disregard you..."
Ignoring the mocking voices from ahead, Zheng Hao focused intently on Zheng Yunlong's reaction.
"Thump thump thump—"
Flames covered the [Fire Cloud], and a voice full of youthful arrogance rang out: "Even if you don't have a speed limit today, I won't let you get ahead of me so easily!"
"What happened to the [A-rank ship girl]?"
"What happened to the small sea area again?"
My goal is the stars and the sea!!!
"Come on! You whoever popped up out of nowhere, let me show you my proudest skill! I accept your twisted bet!"
"Teng—"
The crimson flames, like the indelible spirit of a young man, burned ever more fiercely.
Zheng Hao listened to his father's voice with a smile, placed his hands on the helm, and looked straight ahead.
Currently leading the pack is still the [Winged Ship Girl], followed by the enormous [Ivory Ship Girl], the inconspicuous [Mural Ship Girl] in the middle, the familiar [Royal Power], and the [Rope Ship] blocking their path right in front of them.
"Puff puff puff—"
The rope boat didn't seem to be going very fast, but once it took the lead, it seemed to be deliberately blocking the way, constantly swinging its stern to prevent the Fire Cloud from passing.
Even as the distance between her and those in front grew further and further, she remained unmoved, stubbornly holding her position!
Positioning!
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell this is a team positioning tactic!
Just like playing basketball, many times you don't need anyone else to do anything. Just box out the opponent and let the small forward shoot.
This "Rope" is probably an accomplice of the ship girl in front, blocking the position to ensure that the companions in front can maintain their ranking!
"so..."
"【Cloud Dragon King】, how are you going to overtake the ship?"
Zheng Hao stared at the rope boat ahead, its stern twisting and turning, his eyes gleaming with amusement.
The owner of this ship girl must be the one who developed the "Dragon Tail Swing" in the "Black Ship Race" back then, right?
The world is going to the dogs...
I thought this person could forge their own path, but in the end, they still became a lackey of the powerful clan...
"Ho—"
Mind your own business!
"I know what to do!"
Zheng Yunlong snorted coldly. Inside the redwood captain's cabin, which was glowing with crimson flames, a young man who looked ninety percent like Zheng Hao was holding the 'flame' shaped helm with a solemn expression!
"Yunlong..."
"Should we use that move?"
Beside him stood Yunzhi, a tall woman with short red hair.
Before they had been weathered by the harshness of time, their faces were full of resentment, and their eyes were sparkling with intelligence.
"Um--"
"That guy over there, that move he used should be the recently popular 'Dragon Tail Sweep,' right? Although those 'big families' don't really care to learn it, there's no doubt that it's a really tough move to deal with..."
"If you want to surpass him..."
"【Lucky Dice】!"
"Clang—"
He looks almost exactly like Zheng Hao!
A star die flashing with a "6" appeared in Zheng Yunlong's hand, and Zheng Yunlong pressed his large hand directly onto the helm!
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
The next moment!
The flames aboard the Fire Cloud grew even more intense, and the propeller at the tail vibrated and spun faster, spewing out thick white smoke and mist!
"oh?"
Is it coming?
Watching the changes on the [Fire Cloud], Zheng Hao stared at the white mist and almost simultaneously exclaimed with his father, Zheng Yunlong, "[Overclocking·Cloud Dragon Domain]!!!"
"Boom—"
Once the propellers reached a certain speed, the [Fire Cloud] surged forward like an explosion, and white mist instantly covered the hulls of the six ships, obscuring the [Fire Cloud]'s silhouette.
"Here it comes! It's this guy's signature move!"
"【Cloud Dragon Domain】, is that it?! Come on! Have the guts to clash with my 【Golden Elephant】!"
"Hey! Marus, stop him! Did you hear me?! Stop him! If you can't stop them, you might as well be ready to forfeit the match!"
"Understood...Young Master..."
