Chapter 52 I ask a question, who will answer me? !
“ju~~~~”
The sound of high-speed shells piercing the air instantly alerted the sailors on the patrol boat. Santos, who had been calm and composed just a moment before and was about to tell Yuichi not to overthink it, immediately threw himself flat on the deck with such skillful precision that it was heartbreaking.
"It's a shell! Get down!"
Santos, who was lying down, looked up and saw that Yunyi was still standing. He shouted anxiously and reached out to pull Yuyi, but he was unable to pull Yunyi.
In the air, a black dot was getting closer and closer. In just a few breaths, the shell was already close and landed directly in the sea in front of the patrol ship, exploding with a "boom".
The explosion created waves that shook the patrol ship.
"Enemy attack!! It's an enemy attack!!"
"Speed up and dodge the bombardment!"
"Speed up and dodge the bombardment!"
As the test-range bombardment stopped, the voices of the navy were heard on the deck of the patrol ship.
Santos, who no longer heard the gunfire, jumped up from the deck and shouted orders.
There are three teams of marines on this naval patrol ship, each consisting of 20 people, led by a sergeant.
The three teams of marines are responsible for the duties of steering, patrolling and lookout respectively.
Sergeant Santos is considered the highest-ranking officer on the ship.
Following Santos's cry, the marines on the deck began to shout in relay, hoping that Santos' words could be conveyed to the bridge. However, at this moment, the patrol ship suddenly stopped, turned sideways, and faced the gun barrel of the pirate ship in the distance.
“Stopped?!”
"Why did you stop suddenly?!"
"What is Bueller doing?!"
Santos saw the patrol ship stop and shouted loudly. The Buller he was talking about was the sergeant in charge of the mid-sea soldiers in the bridge. When no one answered, Santos turned and ran towards the bridge, ready to find Buller and ask him to start the warship.
The sailors on the deck did not dare to stay any longer and ran towards the gun room of the warship. In the blink of an eye, only Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was left on the deck.
Yuanyi glanced at Santos as he left, then looked up at the pirate ship in the distance. It seemed the ship had adjusted its distance and was slowing down.
"Yuichirō, that boat is slowing down."
"The bombardment is coming!"
At this time, Cyrus did not follow the other marines to the gun room, but quickly came to the side of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, looked at the pirate ship that could be clearly seen with the naked eye on the sea, and said in a deep voice.
"Cyrus, follow Santos and go to the driver's cabin."
"Leave this to me."
As Yunyi spoke, his expression was somewhat solemn. His observation Haki could now cover a range of nearly 100 meters. He had not noticed it before, but Yunyi, who was preparing to fight, activated his observation Haki and immediately noticed the abnormality on the patrol ship.
There is a lot of smell in the cab!
There is much more than just one team!
Cyrus nodded and was about to leave when a gunshot suddenly rang out from the cabin. At the same time, the pirate ship in the distance seemed to have finished reloading and began firing.
Unlike the previous test-range bombardment, this time, seven or eight shells were fired simultaneously, whizzing towards the patrol ship.
"Cyrus, go quickly and be careful. If anyone tries to point a gun at you, do it immediately. Don't hesitate."
Yunyi said this quickly, then drew out his long sword, looked at the flying shells, and directly slashed out three flying slashes. The sword light formed by the domineering aura flew out rapidly and slashed directly on the shells in mid-air.
In an instant, the shells exploded in mid-air, and the flames of the explosion dyed the sea surface red.
"The gunfire from our warship, the pirates disguised as merchant ships, and from what Santos said, the style of that pirate ship, is it from the Lolo Chamber of Commerce?"
"That is to say, this group of pirates may have a connection with the Chamber of Commerce."
"Also, the pirate ship that actively attacked the navy must be a group of extremely vicious pirates."
"It's probably no coincidence that they're heading straight for this patrol ship."
Yunyi was thinking about a lot of things at this moment, and his already solemn expression became even more gloomy at this moment.
"ju~~~" At this moment, the pirate ship fired another round of artillery fire, and the whistling sound of the shells resounded across the sea.
With a cold face, Yunyi fired several flying slashes, shattering the shells, then leaned forward slightly and bounced directly off the deck, then stepped on the moon step and quickly flew towards the pirate ship in the distance.
"Captain Rig! The two salvos of artillery shells were detonated prematurely and missed the warship. There are experts on that warship!"
On the pirate ship, someone saw that the two rounds of artillery fire from their ship were intercepted, and immediately ran to the captain to report.
The Rig Pirates, with a total number of around 120 people, are not well-known in the West Sea. Captain Rig is not even on the navy's wanted list.
As for the reason
"Yeah! I saw it, I'm not blind!"
"Tell the brothers to continue."
"Huh?! What is that?!"
Just as Captain Rig was about to order the pirates to continue firing, he suddenly saw a white shadow darting out from the opposing warship. What surprised him even more was that the white shadow actually flew in the air and was rapidly flying towards their pirate ship.
After noticing this, Rig hurried to the railing, squinted his eyes, and looked at the white shadow in the sky.
As the white shadow got closer, Ruihe finally recognized what it was.
"people?!"
"navy!"
"Quick, notify the gunners to shoot that guy down from the sky!"
"Don't let him get close!"
After Rig saw clearly that the white dot in the sky was actually a red-haired boy in a navy uniform, he immediately shouted to his subordinates.
At this moment, a sense of panic inexplicably arose in his heart.
His sixth sense told him that it was very dangerous now!
"Go, go and tear down that pirate flag and throw it away!" After giving the order to bombard, Rig seemed to have thought of something and shouted immediately.
Then he looked up at the white shadow in the sky.
Just as Rig gave the order, the white shadow was already approaching rapidly.
Not long after Rig finished speaking, a red-haired boy in a marine uniform landed directly on the deck and stood in front of Rig.
"Fei Fei is coming!" Rig murmured in astonishment as he looked at the scene in front of him.
Suddenly, Rig saw the red-haired boy's eyes fall on him. At that moment, Rig's hair stood on end and his scalp felt numb.
Just as he was about to say something, the red-haired boy disappeared from his sight. The next second, Rig felt his vision shake and the world spun around.
"Huh? I clearly didn't look down, so why am I seeing the floor?"
Just as this thought flashed through Rig's mind, a headless figure standing upside down appeared in his sight. He was so familiar with the outfit of that figure. Next to the headless figure stood a red-haired boy, his back to him, his long red hair flowing in the wind.
In addition to the boy and the body, Rig also saw his subordinates with terrified faces.
"Is this me?"
"Am I. Dead.?"
Rig's head flew off and his consciousness completely disappeared. His headless body fell to the ground with blood gushing from his neck.
Destroy with overwhelming force!
Ji Guoyuan wiped the blood off his long sword, lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the corpse on the ground, then his eyes fell on the other people on the deck and said:
"I ask a question, whoever answers me will live."
"Who sent you?!"
