Chapter 98 The Looted Merchant Ship and Karl's Group 【For Collection】

In his position, looking for his own government, Zhang Yang quickly pulled the last two bites of rice from the dinner plate into his mouth, wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and rushed to the deck.

Zhang Yang summoned the 50 naval soldiers who were in charge of defending the Coral supply ship, and ordered them to step up their guard, especially at night, to beware of any sea soul masters diving from the sea to touch them.

At the same time, Zhang Yang also let go of his knowledge and arrogance, and made a simple investigation.I didn't find any strange aura within a radius of twenty miles, so I felt a little relieved.

Soon, the latest information about the incident of the pirates robbing the merchant ship was quickly passed on by the flying soul masters in the fleet, and Zhang Yang also learned about the incident through this information.

First of all, the plundered merchant ship was discovered by the cruiser sailing at the forefront.

When the cruise ship found the merchant ship, it felt that something was wrong, because there were many people lying on the deck of the entire merchant ship, and there were mottled blood around their bodies.There are still many people floating on the sea around the merchant ship.

The navy on the cruiser easily came to a conclusion: "The pirates ransacked the merchant ship, and the ordinary sailors on the merchant ship were also murdered."

The navy conducted a simple survey of the merchant ship and found that the victims were all male sailors, and no female bodies were found. However, after investigation, it was learned that there were traces of women's lives on this merchant ship, although there were not many of them. , but definitely there are.

Therefore, the navy can also conclude that the pirates not only plundered the merchant ship's supplies and high-value commodities, but also abducted more than a dozen women.

In addition, according to the results of the autopsy, most of the sailors had dozens of penetrating wounds on their bodies. The wounds were small, but the penetrating power was astonishing, and the penetrating angles were very similar. Die too much.

And such a wound must only be caused by the sea soul master's water flow soul skill.Because it can be concluded that there must be one or several powerful sea soul masters among the pirates.

Flipping through the analysis report, Zhang Yang looked at Gumball: "Among the pirates known to the navy, are there any pirates with similar tactics?"

Gumball looked up at Zhang Yang, nodded slowly: "Yes, and there are quite a few."

Zhang Yang was a little excited when he heard the words: "Then is there anyone with a sphere of influence around here?"

"Then I don't know." Gumball shrugged: "After all, I'm only the captain of a supply ship, and I haven't taken the initiative to learn about this information."

Speaking of this, Gumball looked at Zhang Yang suspiciously: "Zhang Yang, why are you so serious? You are just the deputy captain of the supply ship, and it is not your duty to fight pirates."

Gumball's doubts are very reasonable. Zhang Yang is just an idle officer in the navy, and taking the initiative to attack pirates does not fit his personality.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious." Zhang Yang shook his head: "As a new navy, it's the first time I see a sea soul master robbing a merchant ship. I'm a little too excited."

Gumball nodded understandingly: "It's understandable, we all came here in the same way back then. Wearing this military uniform and seeing such a tragedy happen to me, I always feel that I should do something."

"Yeah." Zhang Yang nodded: "That's right, that's the feeling."

Gumball smiled at Zhang Yang: "But you have to understand one thing, soldiers, it is their bounden duty to obey orders. Your task is to command and defend the troops and protect the safety of the Coral. As for the extermination of pirates, that is the responsibility of other departments. Tasks. Wouldn’t it be contrary to your original intention to join the Navy and have a job in idle time if you intervene at will in the tasks of other departments?”

"Adjust your mentality, do your duty, and do your own thing well, and that's it."

Zhang Yang nodded and said no more.

It was an accident to discover that the merchant ship had been robbed. After recording the ship's information, the 23rd Fleet continued its mission to sea according to the established route.

Escort cargo ships and fight pirates.

According to the information obtained by the Navy, the vicious pirate Carl and his gang are planning to plunder the cargo fleet of the Hanhai City Chamber of Commerce Alliance, so the Navy will send the 23rd Fleet to sea, on the one hand to escort the Chamber of Commerce's cargo fleet back to Hanhai City Can there be a chance to directly eliminate Karl and his gang?

As for the merchant ship, unfortunately, they didn't have time to search for the pirates.

As Gumball said, a soldier is bound to obey orders.The military situation is urgent, and they cannot afford to delay.

After sailing on the sea for 15 days, the 23rd Fleet met the cargo ship fleet of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and then the two parties merged into one and returned to Hanhai City.

The speed of the fleet depends on the slowest ship in the fleet, and the speed of cargo ships is slower than that of warships, so the 23rd Fleet sailed here for 15 days, but it took 20 days to return.

Because Karl and his gang were going to be wiped out, when returning, the cargo ship of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was in front, and the 23rd Fleet fell far behind the cargo ship, almost out of sight of the warship.

On the way back, Zhang Yang's soul power broke through to level 55, and on the same day, the cruise ship cruising around discovered the traces of the pirate Karl and his gang.

There is no difference between the pirates in the Douluo Continent and the pirates in the world of One Piece. They hang the skull flag with great fanfare, for fear that serious ships will not recognize them as pirate ships.

What this peculiar pirate flag symbolizes is a group of powerful pirate organizations that specialize in robbing the cargo ships of the Chamber of Commerce to collect tolls——Karl and his gang.

Karl and his gang belong to an elite pirate group. There are not many people. The entire pirate group is only 11 people, but all of them are soul masters. The leader, Karl, is a strong soul king with five soul rings.

Three years ago, Karl's first transaction after going to sea as a pirate was to rob the cargo ship of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.Relying on the terrifying strength of his five-ring soul king sea soul master in the sea, Karl surrendered these cargo ships very easily.

If they were mainstream pirates, they would have killed the sailors on the cargo ship and robbed the cargo ship without saying a word.But Karl didn't do this. He didn't kill these sailors, but let a few of them go back, and asked these chambers of commerce to pay a certain percentage of the ransom according to the value of the robbed goods.

This non-mainstream pirate has a modern sense of Somali pirates.

Of course, recalling Karl's various behaviors back then, it is not difficult to infer his true thoughts.

For the sustainable development of this route.

The goods transported on the cargo ship of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance must be the goods that can make the Chamber of Commerce Alliance profit, but not necessarily the goods that Carl, a pirate, would like to see.

For example, steel.

Karl has only ten people under his command, why does he need a dozen ships of steel?It's better to let the nobles spend money to redeem these cargo ships.

In this way, I can exchange a large amount of useless spoils for golden soul coins, saving myself the trouble of selling stolen goods.

Moreover, Karl is a very smart pirate. He knows what a long stream of water means, and he also knows how much ransom to ask for in order for these chambers of commerce to grit their teeth and admit it.
