Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

"The black flag, isn't that the Pirate Flag?" Zhang Da also raised his head and asked, "Can you see the flag clearly?"

Rui Mengmeng picked up the binoculars and took a closer look: "It's a skull with two horns and a red nose."

Speaking of the red nose, Zhang Da also immediately thought of the great god Bucky, but he should not be on the great route, and Bucky's logo should have no horns.

Zhang Da also looked at Shark Pepper, who shook his head. There was too little information to judge. It might be a pirate group that was not very famous, so he had never seen any bounty information in Shampoo.

It’s fine if you can’t judge, it’s probably not a famous person, Zhang Da also shouted: "Get ready to fight! Non-combatants hide!"

Artoria turned the steering wheel, and the ship headed in the direction of the pirate ship.

Rui Mengmeng stared at the pirate ship, reporting its course at any time.

Ye Yan waved his hand and let the eight-sided demon flag float behind him.

Perona and Tom obediently ran into the cabin, poking their heads out to observe secretly.

Shark Pepper said: "Why don't you let me go over and see, I can defeat this unknown pirate group with a giant shark."

"No, I still want to experience an artillery battle. We have so many artillery shells, it would be a pity not to fire a few. Besides..." Zhang Da also reached out and grabbed Tom and pulled him back: "Why are you hiding here? ?Artillery Tom, get ready for battle!"

Tom quickly changed into a sailor suit, saluted with a snap, then went to the cabin and pushed a cannon out.

"Emmm... Actually, what I want to try are the cannons on the ship." There are five cannons on the left and right sides of the Amber, and there is one in front. Zhang Da has also wanted to test its power for a long time. It is rare that he encountered a suitable target this time.

"Then I'll go, I want to experience this kind of old-fashioned cannon." Ye Yan volunteered, such experiences are valuable materials.

"Okay, Brooke, please go and provide technical guidance to Ye Yan for a while." Zhang Da also thought that Brooke had been a pirate for so long, so he should know how to use the cannon.

"Hey ho ho ho~ I'm happy to oblige." Brooke gently raised the top hat on his head and went to the weapons warehouse with Ye Yan. This guy was quite a gentleman when he wasn't sleazy.

The two of them, together with the Banner Demons, manipulated the five cannons with ease.

Zhang Da also climbed up the mast and entered the observation room, snatched Rui Mengmeng's seat, and blew two breaths into the microphone to check the sound. The microphones here are connected to the loudspeakers in each cabin. In case of emergency, everyone can All heard.

"Helmsman and navigator, please pay attention, the enemy ship is about to enter the range, seize the T prefix!"

Artoria asked puzzledly: "T prefix? What is that?"

"Unexpectedly, Boss Daya also understands this, even if it is not used so appropriately." Shark Chili explained: "The prefix T refers to the fact that in a naval battle, our fleet faces the opponent's column with the entire fleet on its side, because the artillery Most of them are installed on the side of the ship, which can maximize the firepower of the ship and attack the opponent's leading ship."

"But we don't have a large fleet. Boss Tatsuya probably wants to try to keep the side of our ship pointed at their bow and occupy the horizontal position on the T-shaped head. But under normal circumstances, unless our speed is very high, advantage, or the opponent’s reaction is slow, it is difficult to achieve the desired effect.”

Arturia nodded: "I see. In short, just make sure that as many gun ports on the sides as possible can be aimed at the enemy, right? But the best case scenario is to aim at the bow of the ship."

"That's it," Shark Chili affirmed.

"Then..." Arturia quickly turned the steering wheel, and the Amber drew a graceful arc on the sea, perfectly pointing its left side at the bow of the pirate ship.

Rui Mengmeng was very discerning and jumped down to help adjust the sail to ensure power.

"Beautiful!" Zhang Da also praised and immediately shouted, "The left string meets the enemy, half salvo, fire!"

The Amber's left muzzle turned, and after a moment five sparks exploded, and five round cannonballs flew out.

Shark Chili raised his head and shouted: "Boss Tatsuya! Don't shout out orders you don't understand! There are five cannons in total and there is no turret, so why are they firing half a salvo!"

"Uh..." Zhang Daye was at a loss for words. He just thought this line was very cool, so he said awkwardly, "Then let me change it to another sentence, brothers, let me blow it!"

Tom glanced at his cannon, which seemed to be in the wrong position. He struggled to push the cannon from starboard to port to prepare for firing, and then... the ship turned.

Five cannonballs landed around the pirate ship, and the explosions raised a high column of water.

The pirate ship did not stand still and was beaten, but adjusted its course, so Artoria also adjusted its direction.

But this hurt Tom badly. Maybe the cannon didn't stop, and the two wheels turned backwards, crushing Tom who had just taken out the match into a puddle, leaving two marks on his body.

Tom lay on the deck looking confused.

The pirate ship on the opposite side didn't know why it didn't fire, but wanted to slowly approach the Amber.

Zhang Da didn't care about that and told Brooke and Ye Yan to just fire after they finished loading.

Bang bang bang... Another round of shelling, five cannons popped out of the chamber. According to Zhang Daye's visual inspection, the aim was very accurate this time. With the speed of the pirate ship opposite, no matter how it turned, it could hit two or three hair.

However, just when the two cannonballs were about to hit the hull, a pink light shot out and enveloped the three cannonballs.

The three cannonballs were suspended in the air as if they had been paused. After the pirate ship passed by, they resumed their speed.

Shark Pepper was surprised: "What kind of ability is that? The cannonball is immobilized?"

Artoria denied: "No, it is not completely frozen, but the flying speed has slowed down, so slow that it is difficult for ordinary people to recognize it with the naked eye."

Such a strange ability reminded Zhang Daye of a person, the silver fox Foxy, who could emit slow light. The speed of things illuminated by the light would become very slow, and return to normal after a period of time.

Overall, it's quite funny that a person has gained super powers.

After another round of shooting, the cannonball that could have hit was once again illuminated by the slow light, and the distance between the two sides was much closer. At this time, Tom, who was crushed again, finally successfully fired his first cannonball of the day.

The other party still didn't seem to have any intention of firing. Instead, a man stood on the side of the bow and picked up a loudspeaker, ready to shout: "Hey, people on the other side, listen up... Bang! Buzz~~"

It was Tom's cannonball that hit the loudspeaker, knocking over the person who was shouting with it.

"Captain!" There was an exclamation from the pirate ship.

Zhang Da also picked up the binoculars and looked at a man with a long red nose lying on the deck, and the top of his head seemed to be cracked: "He is really this guy, Tom fought well!"

Recently, when the World Cup started, there were some people in the author group who watched the football and bought sports betting, which reminded me of a passage in Ace Censor:

Don’t think too hard about the students above. Unsatisfactory situations in life always account for nine out of ten cases, and you will encounter ups and downs of one kind or another in your life. Gambling harms people, stay away from the World Cup! There is no difficulty in life that you cannot get out of, and those ups and downs in the past will only make you a more glorious future!
