Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 217: Funny Clown vs. Revengeful Angel
boom! boom! boom!
Violent explosions sounded around us.

Some of the shells even exploded randomly, creating huge columns of water near the waterline of the Lancer.

Although Alfred had never heard of the ancient saying that Lancers were lucky, the luck of the Level 5 cruiser [Lancer] was obviously not very good.

"What bad luck! How come I suddenly run into the company's enemy here?

The captain said that [Bone-eating Clown] Koraskin was almost going crazy. He lost his nose forever in the International Port, and when he saw the company's ships, he would undoubtedly pounce on them like a mad dog.

The sea area where Treasure Island is about to appear is so large, but you chose to come to my place to join in the fun, damn bastard!"

Before the island actually appeared on the sea, it was already remarkable that the navigators could determine its approximate range based on a simple treasure map.

The reason he came here early was just to be able to rush over as soon as possible after observing the strange phenomenon of Treasure Island appearing.

As time gets closer, more and more adventure ships gather in this sea area.

It was indeed a level of bad luck that the two families met unexpectedly like this.

As the ship shook violently, Alfred grabbed the rope beside him and stabilized his body.

Got shot!
Seeing the Circus getting closer and closer, his expression became uglier and spit fiercely:
“Is it because I’ve done too many bad things recently, and this is the Creator’s punishment for me?

If all else fails, I can use a portion of the looting proceeds to buy a few indulgences from the Cathedral of Our Lady of Mercy?
I heard that a kind nun had recently arrived in the Bantaan Islands and had begun to reorganize the religious issues in the colonies, and she had a full range of indulgences at her disposal.

If buying the coupons isn't enough to atone for my sins, then I should be able to donate a building to the church, right?
The Circus looks like it's almost grotesque and evil, which is undoubtedly the main business of the church."

He opened his spiritual vision and looked towards the [Circus] opposite.

Countless foul auras like the clown's colorful hair have filled every corner and every crew member of the ship.

He even grew into the appearance of a laughing clown.

Making it look less like a pirate ship and more like the horrible lair of some colorful worms.

It is not far from the degeneration of the whole into grotesque distinctions.

"Besides, this level 4 ship is obviously much larger than ours, so how can it be faster than our cruiser?
Order, all batteries load up, fire freely. Fire! "

boom! boom! boom!
But the effect of the shelling was not good. A considerable number of shells were bounced to the side after hitting the opponent's hull, causing limited damage to it.

The distance between the two was closing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The crew of the Lancer could already hear bursts of inhuman laughter coming from the opposite side.

"Haha, haha, run, run quickly, the clown will catch you soon."

“Welcome to our world’s number one circus, we have the best clowns in the world, come and play, come and play.

We shall bring death and terror to the world, and happiness to ourselves."

“The Bone-Eating Clown allows you to join in the performance.

Just be the apple in the knife-throwing show and the trapeze artist being launched from a cannon, ahaha, ahaha, gagaga."

However, there is no most unlucky, only more unlucky.

As the two warships continued to close in, the Lancer still had the strength to fight back and give the opponent a good time, so it made an unexpected landing.

The calm belt hidden in the "celestial circulation" suddenly expanded and swallowed up the two warships that were chasing each other.

The escaping cruiser in front suddenly lost speed, and gradually stopped after moving for a distance due to inertia.

On the other hand, the Circus only slowed down a bit, but still retained a considerable amount of mobility and continued to chase them.

"Ahahaha, it's actually the Calm Belt that is randomly expanding. It must be the clown who loves to play with fate and is looking after us.

You little bugs can't escape, come and play with the clown."

Although the Circus was defeated and retreated from the celestial circulation belt, it was ultimately an excellent warship that had been tested in the doldrums.

Although it does not have an animal-drawn charioteer, it has a powerful figurehead that can also cope with the doldrums.

——【Strange Ship Figurehead·Funny Clown】

Inscription: Funny funny.

"Ability 1: Clown Trampoline. Can treat the seawater below as a trampoline, easily borrowing the power of waves coming from any direction and converting it into forward thrust in any direction.

The maximum conversion angle is 93°, which means that as long as you are not sailing against or perpendicular to the direction of the waves, you can use it almost at will.

It so happens that although the wind here has stopped, there is a 'Northern Celestial Circulation Belt' that spans between 10° and 20° north latitude, from east to west.

There was no wind in some places, but the wind was still flowing overall.

Even in the very center of the doldrums, there is a compensating current running from west to east, sufficient to allow the Circus to maneuver.”

"Ability 30: 30-degree deflection. At a shooting distance of 30 meters, 10% of the shells fired at the ship can be deflected or even bounced away." "Ability : Clown Bomb. % of the shells will explode after they stop moving."

In comparison, the Lancer, which was not prepared accordingly, immediately became a sitting duck.

Given enough time, the Circus could sink it bit by bit with long-range artillery fire.

Too bad it didn't.

This time the expansion of the doldrums will only last half an hour, so bombardment is far less safe than boarding.

At the command of the Bone-Eating Clown, the Circus immediately turned its bow and rushed towards the Lancer.

Seeing this, Alfred did not hesitate to use the "If you can't beat them, then shake them" technique, and then shouted:
"Musketeers line up, snipers on the mast, ready to engage!

Lord Sea Hunter's support will arrive soon.

I am invincible! Kill! "

"Roar--!"

They are brutal pirates who would launch massacres at will. Even if they are forced into desperate situations, they would not close their eyes and wait for death.

Especially the few surviving losers of the Bloody Mary faction on the ship, their fingers flicked with sharp nails and their fangs protruded from their mouths.

It vaguely resembled the original [Blood Eyes], and looked as ugly as a zombie.

The inscription on the Bloody Mary's Recipe in Byron's hand is: Praise the Lord of Gluttony.

The Gluttony Lord is essentially a ghoul.

The normal second promotion ceremony of the "Bloody Mary Sect" "Blood Feast Holy Grail" requires a title of at least lord level as a prerequisite.

You also need to cultivate your own aristocratic etiquette so that others will think you are an upper-class person at first glance.

Only a lucky few are destined to receive the full promotion.

The path of the ghoul is to compromise with its own "animal nature" and transform into an inhuman ghoul, or even a step further into the mythical creature [Lord of Gluttony].

As we all know, in myths and legends, ghouls are just minions and thugs kept by the Night Devil to guard the house.

Naturally, he was suppressed by the fully upgraded Night Demon.

This is also the reason why Byron is willing to accept them and completely suppress their confidence.

Several gifted Musketeers climbed up the mast with muskets in hand and pointed their guns at the enemy ship.

Even a first-level servant who has just advanced has three abilities: [Ranged Weapon Mastery], [Absolute Precision], and [Lurking], which allows him to fall into a semi-hibernation state and blend himself into the environment.

Instantly surpass all mortal sharpshooters.

All these people are Byron's disciples.

Byron's own knowledge: Storm Sword, Fisher Slash Sword, Silver Cross Sword, Military Sword, can be employed as Storm Knight, Pirate, Paladin, Fortress Guard;
Navigation, gunnery, and musketeer skills, can be employed as a pilot, navigator, gunnery expert, or musketeer;

Law and natural history, one can be employed as a lawyer or naturalist;
The extraordinary knowledge he accumulated through hard study since childhood made it no problem for him to become a professional instructor in the corresponding field.

It is almost like carrying a Royal Naval Academy with him. When passing on knowledge and skills, it is easiest for him to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and inspire their talents.

Then, a group of the most outstanding students were trained.

At this time, many candidate officers in the privateering fleet were privately calling him "Principal".

As the two sides got closer and closer, a fierce boarding battle was about to break out.

[Circus] A loud splash suddenly sounded from the other side, followed by a thunderous voice shouting towards the ship:
"Koraskin, why don't you surrender quickly?"

While the Bone-Eating Clown was stunned, a warship jumped out of the whirlpool.

"The enemy refuses to surrender. They are ready to die. All ships open fire!"

boom! boom! boom! boom!
The cannon fire blazed brightly, and red hot bullets flew towards them.

[Figurehead·Angel of Vengeance]:
"The only effect: revenge.

Shout loudly for the other party to surrender. If the other party does not surrender or even dares to fight back, they will die and will be marked by the Angel of Vengeance.

There will be an invisible anchor connecting them, forcibly locking the other party as the ship's mortal enemy.

When firing at this time, all artillery will receive an additional 30% trajectory correction, which will effectively increase the hit rate by 30%! "
