The strongest sea king of pirates

Chapter 24 Shipwreck
"what happened?"

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

"The boat seemed to be hit by something?" Leo walked aside and looked down, but there was nothing below.

"Boat, the boat is leaking, and the seawater is pouring into the cabin." A pirate shouted from the stairs.

"Old Johnson, where is the hole? Size, can you solve it?"

Dominic walked over quickly and asked anxiously.

Qiao Sen looked at the hole and replied: "The hole is on the starboard side of the fourth compartment, and it will not affect the buoyancy of the whole ship. I will have people remove the cargo and make repairs. In addition, the sails must be stopped. We're moving forward."

"You go do it."

Dominique said quickly, and then shouted: "Lower the sail."

The pirates started to move immediately, some carried the goods, some lowered the sails, and the boatmen were in charge of repairing.

This pirate ship has a watertight compartment, that is, the bottom of the ship is separated layer by layer. Water enters one area, but the water does not enter other areas, and it can still maintain buoyancy.

After the cargo is removed, 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. In ancient China, it appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and it was relatively common in the Song Dynasty.

Watertight compartments can not only prevent water leakage and sink the ship, but also strengthen the bottom of the ship, improve lateral strength, and side water pressure resistance.

. . .

"It's really tough."

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

This ship is tougher than I thought.

When Xia Qiu saw this pirate ship, he had the idea of ​​swallowing the pirate in his stomach. He hoped to get more strengthening energy.

But most of them are on the ship, and if you want to eat them, the first thing you need to do is sink the ship.

The length of this ship is about 35 meters, the hull is strong, and the hull weighs about [-] tons. It is difficult to directly destroy it by yourself.

However, it is still possible to aim at a certain board of the ship near the water surface, smash the board and let the seawater pour back.

I am 18 meters long and weigh about 30 tons, and after being strengthened three times, my strength is no less than that of a sea fish of more than [-] meters.

You must know that in ancient times, it was not uncommon for blue whales to sink sailing ships. Many wooden sailing ships were knocked over and smashed by blue whales.

And Xia Qiu also has a huge collision angle, it is not difficult to concentrate the force on a certain position and smash the ship plank.

So Xia Qiu took advantage of it,

But it was harder than I imagined, and I accelerated and slammed into it, but only a hole the size of a washbasin was made.

And judging by their appearance, the hole did not cause too much trouble.

"Again."

Xia Qiu swam past the bottom of the boat, swam towards the distance, swayed his body, and accelerated 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?"

Dominique looked in the direction Leo was pointing, narrowed his eyes, "Such a big sea fish? Was it hit just now?"

Accompanied by their words, Xia Qiu had already come close, bumped out again, and with a bang, the ship shook violently.

The protruding skull hit the side of the ship's plank, and the ship's plank shattered directly, and a large hole appeared, into which seawater poured in.

"I was hit again, Qiao Sen, how is the situation?" Dominique asked loudly.

"The No.19 compartment is damaged. I have arranged for the boatmen to repair it, but we need to abandon some cargo."

Qiao Sen exposed his head on the stairs, and said with an ugly face.

"Then drop some goods." Dominic shouted loudly.

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

"I know."

Dominique shouted: "Johnson, prepare the artillery and attack the sea fish. Leo, you lead the others to attack with spearguns and crossbows."

"Yes."

Both Johansen and Leo went into action immediately.

Dominique raised his binoculars and stared at the sea surface, but found no trace of sea fish.

. . .

"What happened? Why did the Dominique Pirates stop?" On the merchant ship in the distance, everyone was a little puzzled.

"Looks flustered."

Qiao Ze looked at the ship through the binoculars. The people on board were constantly busy. He frowned and said, "Still throwing cargo into the sea."

"Water leak?"

The captain raised his eyebrows, took a look through the binoculars, and said, "The sails have also come down, there should be a water leak in the cabin."

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

"Evil comes with evil, they'd better drown here." Marcel clenched his fists.

"Generally there will be watertight compartments, and ordinary water leakage will not be a problem. And they have wooden boats on board, so it's okay if the boat sinks." Qiao Ze said from the side.

"And we have to be careful."

The captain put down the binoculars and said, "Once their pirate ship sinks, they are likely to approach us and snatch our ship. We stay away from them."

Everyone hurriedly raised the sails, turned the rudder, and changed their directions according to the captain's wishes.

And Marcel took Joze'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.

boom.

A huge black shadow crashed into the pirate ship.

"Damn it, where's the gunner? Johansen what are you doing? Hit him."

Dominic was furious.

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

Puff puff.

The speargun shot into the water and stabbed the black fish, but it was not injured.

"Such an attack doesn't even tickle me."

Underwater, Xia Qiu snorted coldly, dived into the bottom of the sea, swam to the distance, and started the fourth attack.

Xia Qiu punched two holes in the starboard bottom of the boat, one forward and one aft.

A hole was hit on the port side, which was staggered from the one on the starboard side. He planned to hit another hole, so that there were four holes. If you don't believe it, he won't sink.

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

Hey, hey, hey.

The artillery sounded, and three shells were shot out, landing on the water around Xia Qiu.

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

Three more cannon shots.

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

But the power of the shell was weakened by the sea water, so it couldn't harm Xia Qiu at all.

Whoosh.

Xia Qiu didn't slow down much, and rushed straight to the pirate ship.

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

Dominique saw that the black shadow was unharmed, his face was ugly, and he smashed the side of the boat angrily.

Then the gunfire sounded, but Xia Qiu was already close to the ship and bumped into it.

boom.

The ship shook violently, and another hole appeared.

The sea water poured back, and the pirate ship was sinking slowly.

The four holes were flooded with seawater, which increased the weight of the hull, and the holes were distributed in the front and rear of the two sides of the holes, staggered from each other, destroying the four compartments, and there was no large area of ​​the hull that could provide enough buoyancy.

"Boss, there are already problems with four compartments, and they can't support it anymore."

Old Johnson ran to the deck and shouted loudly.

"Can't it be repaired?" Dominic asked angrily.

Old Qiao Sen said with a embarrassed face: "The time is too short, there are problems in the four holes, and the speed of the boat descending is too fast, it is difficult for us to repair it against the water pressure."

"How long will it take for the ship to sink?" Dominic asked with a cold face.

Old Johnson said: "Up to 2 minutes, and this is still the case of only maintaining four holes."

"asshole."

Dominique's face was grim, and he shouted loudly: "Put the boat on the other side of the boat, and abandon the big boat."

"But the two small boats can only carry 14 people." Leo said from the side, "and the fish are still below."

"Leave only fourteen people."

Dominic snorted coldly and said, "Let the remaining pirates and pirate ships be used as bait, let's leave from the back, let's talk after leaving here."

"it is good."

Leo nodded and arranged for someone to lower the boat.

"Boss, I..." Old Qiao Sen looked at Dominic with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

"You are still useful, you can leave with me."

Dominique said coldly, Old Johnson was the best boatman with rich experience, and he left by himself, and he will be used in the future.

"Thank you, boss." Old Johnson said gratefully.

Dominic pointed to a pirate and said, "Go to Johansen, and I'll leave two places for you and him."

"Yes."

The pirate got a chance to survive, and excitedly ran to the cabin to find Johansen.

Dominic looked at the tilting pirate ship with fierce eyes, and walked quickly to the boat.
