Before Ryoma entered the restaurant, he saw Dashi worryingly pacing back and forth at the door from a distance.

"Oh, Echizen! Woke up? Thank you for your hard work last night." Dashi patted her shoulder reassuringly, "I didn't let them call you in the morning, sleep a little longer to refresh yourself. Have some breakfast first?"

The main candidates are all there, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is a bit depressing.Ryoma felt that no matter what, he still had to fill his stomach first.

She filled a plate full of fried tempura and a few egg rolls, and another bowl of miso soup, and brought it to the table on a plate.A group of people were working around, gesticulating and talking non-stop, and they didn't know what they were arguing about.

While eating, Ryoma looked around curiously, and saw a stack of draft paper spread out on the table, full of formula calculations and some complicated auxiliary lines.

It seems that the longitude and latitude are calculated through sunshine.

It's a blind spot of knowledge, she thought silently, retracting her neck.

Sitting on her left side, Shinobu rested her chin on her feet, turned the glass with ice cubes in her hand, and sighed endlessly: "Did we have a crow's mouth last night?"

Ryoma raised the bowl and drank the soup slowly, then put it down: "I heard that there was a lot of fog this morning."

"Yes, but the crew on duty at night also fell asleep, and there was almost a big accident when they found out." He sighed.

Taocheng purposely circled around and sat down, put the milk heavily in front of Ryoma, and said: "Don't worry, I heard from them that they just received a contact signal from a nearby ship, and the other party is rushing over. Not sure Was it just the fog that interfered with the radio signal in the morning?"

"Forget about the radio, will the GPS also fail?" Ryoma was a little skeptical.

"Hmm... I don't know about that." He scratched his head and laughed, "To be honest, I've only been on a speedboat before."

That's right, most of the junior high school students present could answer "I am the same", and they also don't know much about things in the sea, so they can only count on Xueba to explain.

Gan put down the draft paper, and said with confidence: "We entered the high seas after eleven o'clock yesterday morning. According to the average speed and current speed, plus the sailing time, we should be in this position now."

He drew a circle on the spread out nautical map.

Xiang Ri checked the world map for a long time, but also half-believed: "No, this is normal for you, we didn't know when we started going off track last night?"

"It has to be calculated according to the altitude angle of the sun at noon..." Gan twirled the pen in his hand, and started talking again.

Taocheng listened carefully for a long time, then poked his head over to look at his reference diagram, and then cupped his fists: "Do you understand?"

Kikumaru was also impatient and poked Gan's arm: "Agan, speak human language."

"The conclusion is that the compass is broken, and I can't count." Dry pushing the glasses.

"..."

Everyone scattered like birds and beasts, booing.

About an hour later, there was a commotion at the door of the restaurant.A crew member ran over and reported to Atobe.Xiang Ri caught the key words sharply, and slapped the table: "Rescue is coming!?"

Suddenly, everyone couldn't sit still, and ran to the deck to see what happened.

On the endless sea level, a dark shadow indeed appeared in the southeast direction, less than ten nautical miles away from them, and was rapidly approaching.They all heaved a sigh of relief.

Judging from the current situation, it is still necessary to leave as soon as possible.The ship did not know what happened to the supernatural situation that caused the entire ship's equipment to fail. Just in case, it is best to ask a passing ship to take them back to land. As for the holiday island, it can only be put on hold temporarily.

Hearing that the captain made such an arrangement, Xiang Ri seemed unwilling, and murmured: "Why is it so unlucky to come out this time? Atobe, didn't you say that this is the most professional cruise service?"

"Of course." Atobe said angrily, feeling that this kind of doubt is very insulting to his decision-making, "Any accidents can happen at sea, you go to change the search ship, maybe it will sink to the bottom of the sea."

Dashi was dripping with sweat: "So dangerous?"

"Just kidding." Atobe paused, then shrugged, "The captain is a former captain of the British Navy. Both the chief mate and the chief engineer have worked for nearly 20 years. Is it a reliable fleet?"

It sounds like a very luxurious configuration, but in the sea where nature controls the lifeblood, everything is uncertain.

Xiang Ri said in a low voice: "However, it is very unreliable to fall asleep during duty hours..."

Atobe's eyes froze, and he stuck out his tongue in fright.

"Is not it?"

"No, regarding this question, I think..." Riji shook his head and said slowly, "This should belong to the category of supernatural events, Senior Yue Ren."

Shishido complained: "Isn't it more reliable to say that!"

Ci Lang excitedly added fuel to the flames: "Maybe it's actually a conspiracy by pirates. They planned this accident because they wanted to hijack us?"

Everyone: "..."

"Could it be that," Xiang Ri panicked slightly, pointing to the sea, "that ship is the pirate ship that came to rob us?"

Atobe snapped his fingers, and Huachi walked over and picked up Cirou and threw it aside. The Qing Xue Zhengxuan felt their scalps tingle and laughed dryly.

"There won't be pirates in this sea area, right?" Dashi said, but couldn't help swallowing, "I heard that the seas of Southeast Asia are more dangerous, and the Pacific Ocean..."

Gan Gan received his help-seeking gaze, turned his head silently, and adjusted his glasses: "Don't ask me this, I'm not familiar with it either."

"There seems to be a flag hanging on the mast of that ship—do you have a look?" Ryoma said suddenly, startling everyone.

As soon as Kikumaru turned his head, he saw her lying on the side of the railing, holding a telescope in her hand.

"Wow, that's cunning, little one! Where did you come from?"

Without looking back, Longma pointed to the first mate behind him: "Mr. Hunter borrowed it."

Kikumaru glanced at the foreign crew who obviously had a language barrier with them, silently retracted his gaze, and rushed over: "I want to see it too!"

"Let me see it too!" Taocheng and others followed closely behind.

"Really!" Kikumaru managed to snatch the telescope, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Hey, but, it doesn't look like a pirate flag?"

"Maybe different pirate ships have different flags?" someone suggested.

"No, that one isn't even a skull, but...it looks like a bird? An eagle-like pattern." He put down the binoculars, handed it to the next person, touched his chin and said, "It feels more like a sign of personal belonging."

"It's also possible that there will be many merchant and passenger ships passing by here, and it is not ruled out that it is a parade party of some rich man." Ninzu analyzed, "Just like us."

It's fine if it's not a pirate. Everyone was a little relieved, but they still didn't dare to let go of their vigilance and waited for the mysterious ship to approach.

As the two ships approached, the crew had signaled to the opposite side according to the captain's instructions, but strangely, there was no response from the other side, and there was no reply by radio.Until they were able to fully see the appearance of the ship, the scale was quite large, with a huge flag floating on the high mast at a distance of tens of meters.

The pattern on it is very complicated. The theme is an eagle in flight, surrounded by many fine patterns.

It slowly adjusted its direction, turned around, and there was actually a turret erected on the ship!

The teenagers with wonderful eyes suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

Taocheng took a step back slowly, and couldn't help but pull Ryoma's hand: "Hey, I feel a little bad. Why do you look more and more like pirates? Maybe they approached us deliberately as a merchant ship?"

"However, isn't this strange?" Ryoma said calmly, "Before this morning, we were separated by at least a hundred nautical miles. Even if there are some high-tech signal jammers, it will be difficult for them to accurately launch them here." ?”

"Then it's still a supernatural event?" Taocheng's mind was spinning rapidly, and he almost exclaimed, covering his mouth, "—ghost ship?"

Atobe was also very calm: "No, obviously the facilities are all new. If someone hadn't cleaned them regularly, they would have been corroded by seawater long ago."

Xiang Ri said decisively, "Then I'd rather choose ONEPIECE's channel!"

Cirou was struggling in Huadi's arms: "It can also be the Caribbean Sea, I don't mind!"

Kikumaru hugged her head: "Can I not have both?!"

"Shh-"

Shinobu raised his index finger and put it near his mouth, then pointed to the cockpit: "Someone is coming out."

Everyone held their breath and watched the figures on the opposite ship swaying. Not long after, a blond foreigner appeared from the observation deck. He was wearing a very energetic sailor suit. He waved to them and shouted a few words—— is English.

"What is he talking about?" Kikumaru asked softly.

"The accent is American." Ryoma replied, looking up, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "but the words are very strange..."

It's not like a normal greeting, is it a professional communication language at sea?

But seeing Mr. Hunter, they also looked confused, which shouldn't be the case.

"They're still approaching..." Mr. Hunter's tone became serious.

Several serving crew members are all from Southeast Asia, and they talked closely, with a strong accent, but Ryoma could still distinguish it: "I said, it must be that one, right?"

"Very likely! But is it true?"

"I've only heard rumors, and this is the first time I've seen..."

"Oops, isn't it going to attack us?"

"No, I remember they had an international agreement—"

Who is it?She sighed inwardly.

After the man on the observation deck finished asking, he nimbly flipped out, grabbed the rope and jumped into the bottom of the cabin, where he disappeared. Soon, a few people in black suits appeared on the bow, standing in a row, and the sun shone on them. Glitters on their sunglasses.

Then, two more people came out from behind them.One of them was older, with curly red hair, blue eyes, and a good looks, but no more than 30 years old.

The silent and serious men in black suits all made way for him, and greeted him respectfully to the open space in front of him. He calmly raised the red wine glass in his hand and signaled to him.Although this person has the temperament of a leader, he is not a figure of the captain's level, but more like their "boss".And behind him...

That was a young man very similar in age to them.

He is tall, and standing in a group of adults is not inferior, but unlike the other obvious Caucasian faces, he is very typical Asian, with straight eyebrows and dark shattered hair blown by the wind. Publicity frenzy.He turned over and jumped down from the steps, walked briskly to the side of the boat, stretched out his upper body, and showed a big smile.

Across the gap between the two boats, they could clearly see his appearance and his very relaxed expression. His eyes were slightly narrowed, shining brightly in the sunlight.

"Little one, long time no see."
