Pirates: From the Planet to the Starry Sky

Chapter 4 Encountering Pirates
Returning to the main island with the boat, Richie also returned to the palace with his second uncle. The second uncle reported the incident, and he met his parents afterwards.

Since there is no business in the Rock Mountain Kingdom, this batch of salt can only be the only caravan belonging to the royal family in the country.

This caravan is also supported by the royal family and is responsible for some royal purchases.

Rich also recruited some people on the main island, took more than a dozen furs, and left the Rock Mountain Kingdom with the caravan.

The caravan has two ships, but they are not big, two two-masted sailing ships.In addition to salt, there are also some sundries on board, all of which are ready for sale.

The destination this time is a place called Grania Kingdom which is some distance away from Rock Mountain Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Grania is located in several important maritime nodes in the South China Sea, with a population of over ten million and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It is far from being comparable to a small country like the Rock Mountain Kingdom. In this world of pirates, it can also be called a big country.

Moreover, as an important maritime node, the Kingdom of Grania has prosperous commerce and trade. Caravans from all over the world will choose the Kingdom of Grania as one of them if they want to trade in the South China Sea.

This journey requires a 20-day voyage, and it needs to stop twice for resupply.

In the world of Pirates, the four seas are not as changeable as the four seasons like the great route. The sea is very calm, and basically there will be no big storms.

All the way through several desolate islands. Due to the remote location of the Rock Mountain Kingdom, in the corner of the South China Sea, not even a single pirate was encountered. This is a very strange thing in this era of great pirates.

After sailing all the way for seven days, the fleet docked and began to replenish.This town belongs to a country about the size of the Rock Mountain Kingdom.

There is a naval base in the country, which ensures that the port will not be invaded by pirates.

After drifting on the boat for seven days on the road, and stepping on the ground again, Rich felt inexplicably relaxed.

This town is protected by a naval base, and its safety is guaranteed. The residents of the town walk on the streets relatively leisurely.

After a quick supply, the fleet did not stop here and continued to move forward.

But this time I didn't have such good luck. After passing through the town, I came to the sea area where pirates are active, but after sailing for a day, I met a pirate group.

The moment the pirate ship appeared, several cannons roared, and shells blasted towards the fleet.

However, the pirate group on the opposite side only had a two-masted sailing ship, and the crew seemed to be just dozens of people.Since pirates are generally relatively poor, they don't have sufficient logistics like the navy.

Therefore, the average pirate group only has a few artillery pieces, not even many shells.

After firing a few shots and seeing that they missed the fleet, the pirate ship stopped firing and quickly approached.On the sea, pirates' boarding battles are the main way of fighting.

"Your Highness, that's the Pirates of Weili. Captain Weili offered a reward of 200 million. He once robbed a village." As the captain of the caravan, he watched the pirates attacking from a distance with a telescope and reported to Richie.

As the only caravan of the Rock Mountain Kingdom, the captain has traveled many times. There are guard soldiers from the Rock Mountain Kingdom on the caravan, and they have also fought pirates many times.

"It's just a pirate with a reward of 200 million, take it, I happen to be short of money."

Since he is not a big pirate, Richie is naturally not afraid, after all, he is a natural devil fruit ability user.

"This time, I will also take action, and leave me a few pirates."

"Yes, Your Highness." As a subordinate of the royal family, the captain himself knows Richie's strength. Since he is just a little pirate, there is no need to worry.

A pirate ship came up, and Richie looked around, all the pirates were unshaven, hadn't bathed for days, and their clothes were a little tattered.

Even the weapons in his hands, there are only two guns, and the rest are knives.

The captain of the Guaili Pirates, Guaili, is three meters tall, with strong muscles, and can easily lift a large stone.

With a big ax in his hand, he could sweep across an area in close combat.

"Rock Gun."

"Whizzing."

The pirate ship sticks to the merchant ship that is approaching, and as soon as it gets close, the pirates swing the rope and jump onto the deck of the merchant ship.

But at this moment, with a low shout, several cold lights flew over the soldiers in front and sank into the heads of these pirates.

"Bang bang bang."

The pirates who jumped onto the deck one by one just stood firm, and fell to the deck one by one.

Behind the soldiers, behind Ricky, ten barrels made of rocks pointed forward.This is Rich relying on the principle of firearms, using rocks as the trajectory, and the tail is a closed space full of dust.

Inside the space, there are flints one by one. Relying on the dust explosion, Richie has produced an ability similar to a gun.

This kind of ability, developed to the strongest, can also make Richie rub the cannon with his hands.Although for the real powerhouses, the threat of shells is not enough, but against ordinary pirates, this is a big killer.

Behind Ricky, a rock stretched out. On the rock, ten rock gun barrels were aimed at the front.There were only bursts of deep roars, and the first batch of pirates who rushed up were all shot down on the ground.

At this moment, the pirate ship and the merchant ship were in complete contact, and the side of the ship leaned against the side of the ship, and a three-meter-tall strange force jumped onto the deck of the merchant ship.

"Kids, kill me."

"Bang bang bang."

But following the sound of Wei Li's words, there were bursts of explosions, and rock bullets quickly shot and killed the pirates who rushed up.

The next moment, Rich also rushed forward, and several rock barrels stuck to Weili's body.

There was another burst of gunshots, and the bullets shot directly into Wei Li's body.

Blossoms of blood bloomed on Wei Li's body, and the severe pain made Wei Li hideously roaring.

"Boy, go to hell."

The ax in his hand smashed towards Richie.

"boom--."

The ax in Wei Li's hand hit Li Qi, and the huge force fell, causing the whole boat to shake slightly.

Around Rich, a layer of rocks blocked the blow. There are four pillars around the rocks, which transmit the power to the deck.

"Goodbye then."

At this time, Rich was under the stone slab, and the ten rock barrels had disappeared, and what appeared was a cannon barrel with the thickness of a fist, aiming at the heart of Wei Li.

"boom--."

The sound of the cannon sounded, and a rock shell with a sharp warhead left a huge hole in Weili's chest, piercing through Weili's body and killing him.

With the death of the strange force, the remaining pirates faced the siege of the caravan soldiers and could only drop their weapons and kneel down to surrender.

So far, the encounter ended like this, and the caravan won with zero casualties.

"Your Highness."

All around Rich, whether soldiers or caravan members, looked at Rich with a kind of respect in their eyes and tone.

In this sea where strength is respected, Rich has won the respect of everyone in the caravan.
