Chapter 297 1, 2, thumbs up!
The distance between the two ships was getting closer and closer. Cloe was not panicking at first. He just kept letting his men fire. Wouldn't the closer they were, the more accurate their shots would be?
Although the flag looked familiar, Cloe didn't pay much attention to it. He thought it probably belonged to some famous chamber of commerce. He would know after he robbed it.
But soon Cloe felt something was wrong. The shells were becoming more and more accurate, but none of them actually hit the target.
Some of the shells that were supposed to hit the target inexplicably deviated from their directions as if they were blown away by the wind, and some seemed to be cut in half by something. This made Cloe wonder for a moment whether his myopia had worsened, or whether he was just dazzled.
It was not until he saw a woman with a ponytail split a cannonball with a pitch-black sword that Cloe forced himself to accept the fact. It seemed that the person he met this time was not an ordinary person...
The pirates who saw all this were stunned. They had never seen such a scene before. Could a cannonball be split by a sword? Would it explode in two after being split?
Zangao stammered, "Ship, Captain! What should we do?"
Clo pushed his glasses. What should I do? I also want to know what to do. There is no such thing as "the other party is not afraid of artillery shells" in the plan!
Put yourself in their shoes and think about what you would do if you were facing a cannonball. Of course you would dodge it. Cloe was confident in his speed and reaction ability, and he never considered such dangerous things as using a sword to cut a cannonball.
This woman's strength is probably higher than his, and the other party also has an unknown person who can blow the shells away...
Clo looked at the shells being split and blown away, re-evaluated the enemy's and our own combat power, and finally ordered: "Turn the rudder, retreat, and take that route!"
The so-called route is in a sea area full of reefs. If you enter it without knowing the situation, it is easy to run aground and sink. It was discovered by Clo by accident and is specifically used to get rid of difficult opponents.
"Yes, Captain!"
The pirates would immediately execute his orders as soon as they heard them, mainly because they were used to it. No matter whether they understood the captain's orders or not, they would just follow them. No matter what kind of opponent they encountered, they would be able to deal with it. It has always been like this.
Cloe also thinks so. In this ocean, strength does not necessarily represent everything. Wisdom is the most important.
But ten minutes later, Clo discovered something was wrong. Why was the ship going so fast?
He didn't feel it when they were sailing in the opposite direction just now, but now that they were sailing in the same direction, Clo immediately noticed the gap. If he continued like this, he would be caught up before he even reached that sea area!
"Open fire, fire with all your might! And prepare for boarding!" Cloe gripped the railing tightly with both hands, his knuckles turned white.
It’s not that he had never encountered critical situations before, but this time it was too unexpected. The meticulous plans that he had always been proud of were met with unexpected events one after another, which caught him off guard.
Clo stared closely at the familiar flag, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind: "It's them!"
Cloe is one of the few pirates who attaches great importance to intelligence. After all, making plans also requires certain intelligence support, and daily newspapers are an important source of intelligence for him.
Under tremendous pressure, he finally remembered that he had seen this ship in the newspaper. This was a tour group that assisted the navy in defeating the great pirate Golden Lion!
Sweat broke out on Clo's forehead. With his knowledge, he didn't know how strong the Golden Lion was, but what was certain was that this time he met someone he couldn't afford to offend. The most troublesome thing was that even though he couldn't afford to offend him, he couldn't escape.
"Captain?" Zangao noticed Clo's abnormality. It was the first time he saw a panic expression on Clo's face.
"Listen carefully, Zangao. Once the boarding battle begins, hypnotize everyone immediately!" Cloe returned to the cabin to get his weapon.
A drop of sweat also flowed down Zangao's forehead: "Is the situation so serious?"
…
On the other side, Altria held the steering wheel with a serious expression, her riding skills fully activated, and the Amber quickly approached the Bezan Black.
Shells whizzed past, and Zhang Daye, Rui Mengmeng and Wendy cut off or blew away the shells that might hit the ship.
Shark Chili judged the situation under the sea and advised: "Altria, it's just a small pirate group, there's no need to be so serious, right?"
Altria said seriously: "Anyone who doesn't let us enjoy the hot pot properly is unforgivable!"
She specifically asked Ye Yan and Brook to watch the hot pot in the restaurant to prevent it from tipping over, and she personally took the helm in order to catch these pirates as soon as possible.
Even so, she still felt sorry for the food that she had just put in and had not had time to take out and eat.
If Shark Chili hadn't said that these people had a bounty of nearly 20 million, Clo and the others would have had the honor of being killed by Curry Stick.
"Let me go by myself after we catch up, you guys go back and continue eating." Zhang Da also suggested. He wanted to practice. Cloe has a skill called Silent Step (Tiptoe), which is said to be about the same speed as shaving, so he could give it a try.
Altria thought for a second. Compared to catching pirates herself, it was more tempting to go back and eat hot pot early. She sensed it and said, "There are 64 people on the other side. Is that okay?"
"No problem, I want to exercise a little too." Zhang Da also felt that if he drove the iron block and stood there, the opponent would not be able to break through the defense, "At worst, I can bring Tom with me just in case."
Meow also wants to go back and eat hotpot! Tom was reluctantly grabbed by Zhang Daye's neck.
"That's all right then." Altria stared at the ship in front of her as the Amber approached rapidly.
Estimating that the distance was about the same, Zhang Da also picked up Tom, stepped on the statue of Tom on the bow of the ship, and with a force of his feet, jumped towards the stern of the Bezan Black.
"What? You dare to jump such a long distance! Oh no, there's no time!" Zangao held his hat with one hand and took out the hypnosis ring with the other hand. The ring was hung by a thin wire and swung from side to side.
"Young ones! Look carefully at this circle and listen carefully. When I say '1, 2, Zan Gao' you will become stronger and will not feel fear or pain."
The pirates knew the deputy captain's abilities and stared obediently at the ring swinging left and right.
"1, 2...Zan Gao!" Zan Gao lowered the brim of his hat to block his sight to prevent himself from being hypnotized.
Zangao's words had just fallen when Zhang Daya landed on the Black Cat Pirates' ship.
The pirates lowered their heads slightly, then widened their eyes and rolled their eyes as if they were furious. Their muscles bulged and veins popped out of their foreheads: "Ah!!!"
All the pirates seemed to be on stimulants, roaring, raising their weapons and rushing towards Zhang Daya who had just landed.
Zhang Da was also stunned: "What's going on? Are you going to go berserk right away?"
Before he could do anything, he suddenly felt his hand lighten. Tom had already jumped out, also rolling his eyes. His muscles bulged and his body grew larger, like a miniature Hulk.
"..." Zhang Daye had a complicated expression, "How come you were hypnotized too... I now have every reason to suspect that you and Luffy are related by blood."
Tom could no longer hear what Zhang Da was saying at this time. He walked towards the pirates step by step with his arms bent downwards, like a bodybuilder.
With every step taken, the entire ship vibrates.
Zangao was also a little surprised: "What's going on with that cat?"
But he didn't care too much. It was just a cat. Even if it became stronger under his hypnosis, so what?
Dong, dong, dong...Tom's footsteps sounded and he soon collided with the pirates.
The pirates didn't have much rationality at this time. No matter whether it was a person or a cat in front of them, they would just kill it!
However, a big knife chopped down, Tom grabbed it with his right hand, and another big knife chopped down, Tom grabbed it with his left hand. Tom exerted force with both hands to grab the two knives and stacked them together, and pushed them up with his knees, and the two knives broke crisply.
The two pirates whose knives were taken away were awakened from hypnosis, and then each of them was punched by Tom. They flew backwards with screams, and one could even see the fist marks left by Tom on their backs.
The other pirates paused, and tacitly ignored Zhang Daye behind Tom, and besieged Tom in front of them together.
If I were to describe the following scene in one sentence, it would be "like Ah Xing rushing into the crowd of the Axe Gang."
Dozens of pirates were knocked all over the sky by Tom's punches. Some were hung on the mast, some were stuck in the deck, and some were embedded in the wall. There was even a lucky one who flew past Zhang Daye's ear and landed on the Amber.
Zangao was stunned. What breed of cat is this? Can you sell one to me?
No, now is not the time to think about these things. Seeing all his men being knocked away, and even the strongest cat brothers Butch and Sam couldn't block a punch, Zangao was a little panicked.
He must be hypnotized immediately, otherwise he will be dead! Zangao quickly took out the hypnosis ring: "1, 2, Zangao!"
Tom stopped moving, his body quickly shrank back to normal, then he fell to the ground and began snoring and snot bubbles came out of his nose.
"Huh..." Zangao breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at Zhang Daye who was watching the whole process. If the pet is so powerful, the owner should be even more powerful, right?
What can I say to avoid being beaten to death? Captain Crowe, please come back soon. I can't handle this alone!
Zhang Da was actually relieved, and the first thing he said was: "Thank you!"
If Zangao didn't hypnotize Tom, he would have to worry about how to wake him up after Tom dismantled the boat. It would be a lot of fun if Tom also did the same to him.
"What's going on, Zangao?" Cloe asked with a gloomy face. As soon as he came out, he saw the deck was in a mess. How come everyone was killed while he was just picking up a weapon?
"Captain Cloe! It's... it's him. The enemy is too strong. Even if we are hypnotized, we are no match for him!" Zangao initially pointed at Tom who was sleeping soundly on the ground, and after thinking for a while, he pointed at Zhang Daye.
There is no way. If I tell others that a cat killed more than fifty pirates, who would believe it? What if Captain Cloe thought I was killing him? He would be doomed. Let's just give the most reasonable answer.
"Is it you? I'm really unlucky to meet such a strong opponent like you, but it's too disrespectful ." Clo pushed his glasses with his palm. At this time, he was already wearing the "Ten-Edge Cat Claw".
Those were a pair of special gloves, with a nearly two-foot-long sword blade connected to each finger of the gloves. The reason why Clo usually pushed up his glasses with his palms was to prevent the sword blade from scratching his cheeks.
"Who told you to disturb us while we were eating hotpot? Besides, I didn't kill those people, it was my cat." Zhang Da also looked at the shape of his weapon and felt it was very unscientific. How much strength would be required from the fingers to use such a weapon? He didn't know how many times the force would be required when chopping people.
"Do I look like I'm easily fooled?" Cloe scoffed at Zhang Daye's statement. Who would chase someone down over a hotpot? And that cat, with such a stupid look on its face, how could it kill more than fifty of his men?
Zangao was covered in cold sweat. What he said was true, Captain. As expected, the captain would not believe it. Zangao held his hat, took a space walk, and retreated little by little.
Clo thought Zangao was worried about being accidentally injured by his moves, so he ignored him.
Zhang Da didn't want to explain anymore. To be honest, no one would believe him. So he just started fighting and threw an ordinary punch.
Clo stood on tiptoe, and Zhang Da also noticed that although he was wearing a suit, he was not wearing leather shoes, but a pair of thick striped socks.
In the blink of an eye, Clo appeared behind Zhang Daye and swung the claw blade in his right hand towards Zhang Daye's neck.
Zhang Da also raised his arm, and the iron block started to move. The claw blade left a few holes on his sleeve but failed to cut his skin: "The speed is good, but I can see clearly that the strength is average."
"What?" Zangao, who was retreating, exclaimed. This was the first time he saw someone who could see through the Silent Step.
"Stop bragging!" Cloe returned to his original position silently, "I just used my arm to block a fatal blow. Your arm should be... impossible now?"
Zhang Da also tore off his tattered sleeves, revealing his arms without any scars, and grinned at Clo: "Shave!"
Bang! Cloe didn't have time to react. Zhang Daye punched him in the chest with a look of astonishment on his face. He flew backwards and hit the mast.
"Why do you also know the captain's silent steps?" Zangao was incredulous, and then shook his head, "No, there seemed to be a sound just now, is it a similar skill?"
Zhang Da did not answer his question, but flashed to Zang Gao's side and knocked him out with a punch.
"This ring is quite interesting. Lend it to me for fun." Zhang Da also found a hypnosis ring on Zangao's body and planned to take it back to study it. Zangao's hypnosis effect was almost as good as the fruit of encouragement, and he was very interested.
"It seems that this is the only trick I can use. It's better if you kill them all..." Clo, who was leaning against the mast, slowly stood up with his head lowered. His hands wearing the Ten-Edged Cat Claws hung naturally, and his body swayed slightly.
"Spoon!" Cloe uttered two words softly, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
Crack! Five knife marks appeared on the deck, followed by five knife marks on the mast, and a hole appeared on the sail...
Cloe seemed to have lost control, slashing and clawing wildly around his own boat.
