Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 177: Black Sail! Black sail!
On the "Conch".
Ivan silently retracted his gaze on the seabird.
No longer pay attention to the armed merchant ship that has been reduced to hell, and the tragic scene like a collective loss of control, it is no longer possible for anyone to survive.
Compared to the ending of the merchant crew, at this time Ivan was more concerned about why did "Iron William" and "Hymer Raymond" who have been regarded as elite pirates appear one after another nearby?
Are they in a group? Where is the destination?
Reminiscent of the powerful person mentioned by "Iron William" and the emblem that was deliberately hidden on the "Hymer Raymond" ship. It is not difficult for Ivan to guess that apart from these elite pirates, it is very likely that the Black Sea pirate king "Octopus Ghost" Harkins also came here in person!
This has to make people even wary of any forces on the East Coast.
After all, there are only two elite pirates who "just happen to" encounter, and the actual number is obviously impossible. How could it be an unknown event that can involve a pirate king and an unknown number of elite pirates?
However, Ivan actually misunderstood this matter.
As a direct subordinate of the Pirate King, Haimer indeed came because of the order of "Octopus Ghost" Harkins. And "Iron William", who has no ties with the Pirate King and has always been maverick, was actually ready to leave the East Bank of the Black Sea after receiving the news.
The rich experience of being hunted and killed in his early years made the former naval officer know how to protect himself. Had it not been for the first officer of the "Iron Bone" who was accidentally arrested while preparing supplies, he would have run away by this time.
However, even if there is a discrepancy between the guess and the actual situation, it will not affect Aiwen to make a reasonable inference in accordance with the current intelligence!
So.
Although it was only less than two days before returning to "Gabride", Ivan released the tern of the call in the first place to inform the Third Fleet Command of the news.
Fluttering edge——
Watching the terns specially trained by the military disappear into the sky where dark clouds gather again, Ivan sighed slightly: "A heavy rain is coming!"
However, what Ivan didn't expect was that the reply would come so quickly.
In less than a day, Ivan saw the trail of the tern again.
"Sure enough!"
Following the order of the Third Fleet Headquarters sent by Tern, Ivan's face suddenly became gloomy, and his guess was confirmed.
After all, this sea area belongs to the offshore area of Falettis, and it is also the most powerful place of the kingdom's navy, and he is not the first person to discover the anomaly.
Before the tern was sent out, more than one cruise ship captain had already reported the abnormal gathering of pirates.
These emergency information immediately attracted the attention of the command.
Further investigations later found that there was indeed a large number of pirates in the offshore area, but most of them were just shot in front of the navy and soon disappeared.
The feeling is like deliberately showing off at your door!
Especially when the intelligence sent back by Ivan clearly pointed out the possible movement of the Black Sea pirate king "octopus ghost" Harkins. More and more information was passed back. Sure enough, many secretive "pirate kings" were found in the assembled pirate group.
The alert status has risen sharply!
This is already a force that no coastal country can ignore. Although the size of the kingdom’s great cause and navy is far greater than that of pirates, the long coastline always has weaknesses.
The Third Fleet Headquarters immediately notified the Navy and issued an order: "Except for the specific movements of the specific cruise ship in the Black Sea to detect pirates, other warships will return to port immediately!"
After the merchant ships were also warned to suspend their departure from the port, the navy waited.
The idea of the commander of the Third Fleet, Admiral Aldrich, is very simple.
Even in the face of the notorious pirate king, no matter what the large-scale pirate assembly wants to do, one's own side must not be confused and shrink all the power just in case.
Rather than organizing a fleet to chase pirates whose purpose is temporarily unknown, it is better to guard the door from the beginning without making any mistakes!
There are only a few places that are worth attacking in their own jurisdiction, to ensure that they will not have problems within their own asylum, and the rest are minor troubles.
However, what they don't know is that their current behavior is exactly the same as the "octopus ghost" Hudgens expected.
Outside the sea...
A huge pirate ship floating on the sea is no smaller than a second-tier battleship in the kingdom in terms of size alone.
On the black mainsail, a skull with a crown and eight octopus arms and legs is particularly conspicuous. At the bow of the ship, a black chain-wrapped ghost "head portrait" stands quietly, exuding a gloomy light.
Any ocean-going sailor who wanders in the Black Sea can recognize it at a glance:
The pirate king "Octopus Ghost" Harkins's ship "Eternal Shackle Icon"!
"Master Huggins, as expected. Although it took a little longer, all the naval garrisons in the places we passed by chose to shrink their forces, and only a few patrol boats remained on the sea. Still swimming.
Especially the ‘Tulip Alliance’ which is the focus of attention, and the navies of all countries have turned into tortoises. "
Receiving the information sent by his subordinates, Haimer, who had already joined the large group, bowed slightly to compliment the pirate king who was leisurely fishing with a special fishing rod in his hand.
"Hehe, the navies of all countries have always acted like this. If the navies can unite, where will there be room for us pirates to survive?
Don’t say that my ‘Octopus Ghost’ is just a third-order transcendent, not even a fourth-order transcendent peak..."
The "Octopus Ghost" Hudgens stared at the surface of the sea and didn't turn his head back, but he smiled and responded with a couple of sentences, which is considered to have accepted the compliment of his "student".
Different from outsiders' imagination, although "Octopus Ghost" has a fierce name, it looks like a short and fat middle-aged man in a yellow silk robe.
There is no iconic chain on his arms that is so eye-catching as the "Prisoner of Exile" like Haimer, and even his round face can be seen to be a bit rich and humble.
The Pirate King, who is always smiling, feels more like an easy-going businessman and a very charismatic leader. Oh, if you ignore the eight twisted beards on his chin.
"You are the pinnacle of Tier 3, a powerful ‘prisoner of exile’ who has been able to fully control his own power! How can the navy dogs be your opponent?
What's more, you have the full support of the ‘Mother of Sea Monster’ Erctor and his "Brotherhood of the Deep Sea" ~ IndoMTL.com~ The entire Black Sea is your hunting ground! "
Haymer had a fanatical eye, apparently convinced of what he said.
"Oh ha ha..."
The iconic smile is still on his face, but no one can guess what the thoughtful pirate king really is.
At this moment.
Wow----
Huggins grabbed the fishing rod with both hands and flicked it hard, and a large dark blue shark with a body length of more than eight meters and a weight of more than 4,000 kilograms came out of dehydration and was thrown on the deck by him.
The huge shark who was still struggling, was soon swept up by the sailors who had been waiting for it, and broke his stomach!
Behind them is Black Sail! Black sail!
The black sails with the "Eternal Shaky Icon" as the first Uzbek stretch for several kilometers. At first glance, at least two hundred pirate ships have been assembled to form a huge pirate coalition!
Only a few carry the logo of the Pirate King, and most of the others are free pirates who come to respond to the call of the Pirate King.
From this point of view, no matter whether the navy can really be regarded as nothing, at least the prestige of the pirate king in the Black Sea is well-deserved!
He threw the fishing rod in his hand to Haimer, who was standing by.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Hudgens raised his right hand with a few gemstone rings and placed it on the image of the ghost ship whose bow was entangled in chains, and a dark curtain of light instantly displayed the "Icon of Forever" "As the center spread, it enveloped the entire pirate coalition.
A sea breeze swept past, and the huge fleet of black sails that stretched for several kilometers had disappeared like bubbles on the sea.
It is conceivable that when they reappear, it will be...shocked!
