Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Given the weak firepower of the naval intelligence group's reconnaissance ships, it is not easy to actually sink a warship.

So Burfat thought of using the remaining ships in the fleet as shields, sacrificing the chariot to save the king.

After all, the ship can be rebuilt if it is lost, but if something happens to Kaido, all the beasts will be finished.

……

"Hmm? The formation has changed?"

In front of the periscope, the new Chief of Intelligence saw the movement of the Beasts' ships and immediately guessed Burfat's intention.

"I see...you're quite decisive."

"The pirates in the New World are really different!"

He had rarely seen such a decisive character among the pirates in the four seas.

"Sir, what do we do now?"

"What should we do? Um... pass the order down, everyone change your target and attack their sails."

Stroking his beard, the experienced Chief of Intelligence quickly came up with a solution.

"sail?"

The intelligence team soldier in charge of liaison was somewhat puzzled.

"That's right. Our original goal was just to hold them back and wait for General Zhan Guo to come and capture them all in one fell swoop."

"Now they're huddled together, and we can't reach their flagship. So we might as well break their sails and force them to slow down."

The ships in this world are basically sailboats. The larger the ship, the larger and more complex the sails that serve as its power.

Those huge, thin and fragile sails are undoubtedly easier targets to hit than the hull... It doesn't take much firepower, just a few shells can set them on fire.

And this move really hit Burfat's soft spot.

Because the ships of Baishou gathered together under his command, the hit rate of the navy reconnaissance ship's artillery shells was greatly improved. After only a few minutes, the sails of two frigate ships were set on fire and their speed dropped suddenly.

……

Bang!

Bang!

"Put out the fire!"

"Two more shells are coming! Someone, go intercept them!"

"Hurry up and catch up with the boat in front. Don't mess up the formation!"

"No, the mainsail is on fire, there's not enough power!"

There was a noisy shouting coming from the escort ship on the left wing, which made Burfat frown.

Sporadic explosions rang in his ears, and the strong smell of gunpowder made him feel even more confused.

"Brother Burfat, what should we do?!"

"The sails of the seventh and fifth squadrons were both hit, and now they can't keep up with the formation."

"If we keep up this speed, our left wing will be exposed!"

"Then the main ship might come under direct attack again!"

Looking at the two warships with "5" and "7" marked on their sides that were gradually falling behind, Taolong asked anxiously.

"Well, this..."

"Please make a decision quickly!"

"I...let me think about it."

Burfat was obviously a little overwhelmed by his opponent's move.

Although he still tried to maintain a calm appearance on the surface, Kaido's coma and the urgency of being caught up by the navy's large fleet had already turned his heart upside down.

In the past, he only needed to obey Kaido's orders and defeat the enemy without thinking about anything else.

But now, the huge pressure concerning the survival of all beasts has suddenly arrived, and even as the only reliable adult male among the cadres of all beasts, he can't help but hesitate.

He subconsciously glanced at La and found that she was still calm. The flame under her palm did not shake at all, as if she was completely unaware of the crisis.

"Whoo~"

He retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, and forced himself to suppress the urge to vomit. Burfat immediately decided to move on.

No matter what harassment or provocation the other side gets, he has only one mission - that is to make the main ship escape as far away as possible to buy more time to wait for Kaido to wake up.

"Pass on my order, abandon ships number five and seven and continue at full speed!"

"Yes--"

Bang!

Just as Taolong personally picked up the signal flag and prepared to pass the order to the officers of each ship, a small-caliber projectile took advantage of the gap and directly hit the port side of the main ship, and immediately wood chips flew all over the deck!

……

"Oh yeah! I hit it, these 50,000 Baileys are mine!"

Inside a naval reconnaissance ship, the gunner who had just fired the cannon, with a cigarette in his mouth, directly grabbed a pile of Baileys on the table into his arms.

Since Baishou directly gave up fighting back, this group of intelligence personnel actually started a leisurely gambling game.

It can only be said that although the Chief of Intelligence has been replaced, the time is too short after all, and the "good atmosphere" left by the former Chief is still prevalent among the intelligence personnel in the new world.

"Haha! I didn't expect that the Hundred Beasts fleet would be so defeated by our scout ships!"

"They don't even dare to fight back, what a bunch of cowards!"

Another intelligence officer on the ship sneered while drinking wine bought with funds.

The scene where a few hyenas bit the dragon so hard that it dared not fight back and trampled the superior under their feet greatly stimulated their inner vanity and some twisted emotions.

It turns out that even those notorious sea overlords have been chased by small fry like them.

This is an opportunity to humiliate the other party!

"Tsk! You're so lucky~"

Another intelligence officer in the cabin who had lost money pushed the table away in frustration, then kicked a protruding water pipe in the cabin, causing the cabin to shake.

"Hey, you! This boat is so valuable, don't break it and get us into trouble!"

"What are you afraid of? When the time comes, I'll just say it was done by the enemy and ask the higher-ups to reimburse me! I can also claim back what I lost."

The intelligence officer said nonchalantly.

"Heh~ Things are different now than before."

"This new boss is not someone you can fool easily. He's tightened the screws on our funding. There won't be much profit to be made in the future."

"MD, I get angry just talking about this!"

"He's just a country bumpkin from Paradise, and he's riding high on us!"

Snapped!

Throwing away his uniform cap, the intelligence officer went straight to the gunner's position.

"Get out of the way, let me fire a few shots too!"

"What a bullshit beast, look at me and I will——"

Crack—boom!!!

Without any warning, a thunder dragon with a diameter of tens of meters fell down!

The naval intelligence officer who wanted to vent his anger by firing a cannon was directly evaporated by the thunder that fell from the sky along with the reconnaissance ship and the immeasurable sea water around him before he could even touch the artillery position!

At the same time, as if the gods were angry, dozens of other similar golden thunders also came down from the sky at lightning speed, accurately blasting the reconnaissance ships hiding underwater into carbon slag.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! … Boom!

No one could react, and in just a moment, the existence of these intelligence personnel was completely wiped out from the world.

After the feast of thunder, the devastated sea surface was filled with many sea eyes with a diameter of tens of meters left by lightning.

Countless sea water rushed in madly, but it seemed that it could never satisfy the wrath left by the gods.

……

A small white boot landed on the deck of the Hundred Beasts main ship. Everyone looked up, but only saw a ball of crimson starlight.

Even though he sensed that someone's soul had been pulled back from the gate of the underworld, Osi still did not quit the "Super Meteor Burst" and continued to rush over in this high-load state.

She wanted to know what happened as quickly as possible.

Under the gaze of everyone, Osi waved his hands to disperse the "sweat" that was steaming from his body. He saw Kaido who was being "cremated" at a glance, and then he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

【As long as it’s okay. 】

After calming down his still trembling divine power core, Osi immediately turned his golden eyes to Burfat, who looked like a savior.

"So? What's the situation with Boss Kaido now?"

"And why didn't you fight back when you were hit?"

"You guys were too frustrated when I was away, weren't you?"

"Uh... this, this..."

Burfat was a little embarrassed. Although he was considering the overall situation, it was indeed embarrassing to be chased by a reconnaissance ship.

"Ahem~ It's like this, Ossi..."

After briefly explaining the situation since the start of the war to Ossi, Burfat concluded helplessly:

"Now the navy's large fleet will suddenly appear behind us at any time. I really don't dare to stop and fight with those guys who are like flies."

"Oh~ I see. I never thought you had such a tolerant side, Uncle Burfat... You're so flexible and adaptable. You're a true man!"

Ossi nodded, praising in a strange tone.

"Haha~ Your uncle isn't that bad anymore, isn't he? Wait!"

"Stretch and shrink... Are you secretly calling me a turtle, little brat?"

"Ah? No way. Even turtles can shrink back into their shells, okay? Stop being so suspicious."

"..."

Burfat frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Hmm... That's the point."

"Then I thank you for the compliment."

In just two sentences, Burfat felt that the suffocating pressure in his heart seemed to have magically disappeared.

Feeling relaxed, he simply waved his hand.

"All ships, disperse again! Let's continue—"

"Turn around! Charge at full speed towards the navy fleet behind us!!!"

Before Burfat could finish his words, Ossi announced his order in a louder voice.

"Huh?! Ossi, you... we should try to distance ourselves from the navy and wait for Boss Kaido to wake up."

"Huh? Why?"

"Knowing the enemy is right behind you, why would you run? Of course you'd just turn around and attack them head-on!"

"But the Admiral..."

"Heh~ He's just a general, and I'm going to avoid him?"

Osi glanced at La who didn't say anything in rebuttal, then crossed his arms and spoke arrogantly.

"Do not……"

Burfat wanted to say something else, but Taolong on the side suddenly called out to him.
