We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 57, Phase Two, Kid!

boom!
The shells left the cannon barrel propelled by gunpowder, but for some reason, they were stained with a strange black sheen, and their surfaces were covered with some sticky substance of unknown origin.

After arcing through the air, it crashed onto the deck of the Black Mountain with a loud thud.

The air currents surged, and large pieces of the wooden planks shattered.

Several pirates were caught in the blast wave and thrown to the ground, their faces covered in blood, letting out low howls.

Seeing this, on the other side of the deck, Captain "The Rock" Marcelo of the "Black Mountain" had an extremely gloomy expression.

"What the hell!"

"He actually dared to chase after us? And even dared to open fire?"

Marcelo never expected things to develop to this point.

Unlike the [Shark], the [Black Mountain] is a pirate ship that possesses the [Crimson Emblem].

Using the unique connection between the Crimson Emblems, Marcelo discovered the existence of the Black Swan.

Coincidentally, he had also heard rumors about the ship, and since the "Angry Shark" was nearby, Marcelo told Baroque about it.

Marcelo's original intention was to let the "Shark" test the strength of the "Black Swan," while he would sit back and watch the two fight.

If the two are evenly matched, he can reap the benefits and take both ships.

But Marcelo didn't expect that the Black Swan would exhibit an abnormally high speed and charge aggressively towards the Shark.

It's more like a hunter than a prey!

At that time, Marcelo vaguely sensed that something was wrong and reacted quickly by urging the Montenegro to leave, intending to stay out of the mess.

His judgment was undeniably rational.

However, to Marcelo's astonishment, after engaging in boarding action with the "Angry Shark," the "Black Swan" charged straight at him without stopping.
I only glanced at you twice, didn't I?
He might want to take action, but that's just wishful thinking!
Even the most ruthless pirates wouldn't attack other pirate ships so indiscriminately and without any gaps.

"Crazy! It's crazy!"

Marcelo looked at the Black Swan not far away and cursed viciously, "We've really been looked down upon!"

"You dare mess with me? I'll feed your corpse to the sharks!"

His decision to retreat temporarily was not out of fear of the Black Swan, but rather because he did not want to risk casualties in the battle.

In terms of strength, the Black Mountain Pirates far surpass the Angry Shark Pirates, both in terms of size and the number of Secret Path users!
Thinking of this, Marcelo roared and gave the order.

"Gunner, fire!"

"Helmsman, ram them! Prepare to throw the rope!"

The next moment, the cannons on the Black Mountain roared and fired shells one after another.

The smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the scene was quite terrifying.

But as for the actual results...

All I can say is that the splash was huge!

The gunners of the Black Mountain encountered the same predicament as those of the Furious Shark: their shells could not hit the agile Black Swan!

Even if one or two shells were to hit, it would be as if they were hitting an invisible barrier, making it difficult to cause real damage to the ship.

The 14 points of the "Sturdiness" attribute are not just empty words.

In contrast, while the Black Swan's cannons sometimes missed their targets, some shells still managed to land on the Black Mountain's deck, causing considerable damage.

Moreover, whether it was Marcelo's imagination or not, there was a strange sense of unease after the Black Swan's shells hit the ship.

It was as if whispers were lingering in my ear.

It was as if something was quietly wriggling in my peripheral vision.

But if you listen carefully and look closely, it seems like there's nothing there.

at this time.

The third mate on board shouted in panic, "Captain! The shells are poisoned!"

Marcelo was stunned: "What?"

When did artillery shells become capable of carrying poison?

He turned his head and saw that the pirate who had been hit by the aftershocks of the cannonball had developed festering sores, with pus and blood flowing from the wounds.

The pirates screamed in terror and fled in all directions, as if they were seeing a terrible hallucination.

"Could it be that these shells have been enchanted?"

Marcelo quickly came to a guess that was close to the truth, and he was increasingly surprised.

"The captain of the Black Swan is really that wealthy and powerful?" In the Seven Seas, it is extremely expensive to hire a magic enchanter to enchant items. Enchanting disposable items like cannonballs is something that probably only ships like the Blood Duke can do.

……

……

Before long, the roar of the cannons gradually subsided.

With a leap, Xia En landed lightly on the deck of the Black Mountain, like a nimble cheetah.

After several rounds of shelling, the ship was left in a state of utter devastation.

Broken planks, black craters, severed limbs, and even a mast bent over and leaning precariously on the deck were everywhere.

"Truth only exists within the range of cannons, and that statement is indeed true."

Xia En sighed to himself.

If he could, he wouldn't mind sinking the ship with cannonballs.

Unfortunately, the Black Swan had very limited ammunition reserves, and these few rounds of bombardment had already exhausted them.

However, the objective of weakening the ship's combat strength has been achieved.

Shaen then boarded the Black Mountain to clean up the mess.

"go to hell!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind him.

A one-eyed man wielding a curved knife launched a sneak attack from a tricky angle.

Its speed and power far surpassed those of ordinary pirates.

The blade of the scimitar was coated with a layer of blazing fire, which burned fiercely in the air.

Without a doubt, this is a cryptic practitioner who also possesses extraordinary fire power!
Feeling the intense heat approaching his skin, Xia En took a step back and slightly turned to the side, dodging the fierce blade.

Just as he was about to draw his sword, a chill suddenly ran down his spine, and a sense of foreboding surged up within him.

In a critical moment, Xia En quickly changed tactics, using his elbow to shove the one-eyed man and using the recoil to forcefully shift two steps to the left.

call out!
The sound of an arrow slicing through the air almost simultaneously transmitted to my brain along with the pain in my arm.

Xia En looked down and saw an arrow piercing his right arm, from which blood was gushing out.

Clearly, that arrow was aimed at his heart!

Shaun looked up and saw an archer looking down at him from the still-standing watchtower.

A faint blue light flashed in the opponent's eyes, and a faint mystical power lingered around the bow and arrow.

Shaen was somewhat surprised: "Two Mystic Path users?"

"No, there are three!"

"The Rock" Marcelo stepped out from among the pirates, his expression ferocious, and said, "Captain of the Black Swan, you asked for this!"

"You will pay the price for your stupidity and arrogance!"

boom!
Marcelo shot out like a cannonball, arriving in front of Shane in the blink of an eye.

His weapon was a pair of fists harder than stone.

Each punch possesses immense power, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

At the same time, the one-eyed man once again unleashed his Fiery Blade Technique, aiming straight for Xia En's face.

Meanwhile, the archers on higher ground had already drawn their bows and nocked their arrows.

Sharp arrows, ready to be released at any moment!
Surrounded on three sides and with the injury to his arm, Shane was immediately at a disadvantage, much to the delight of the pirates, who cheered him on.

However, what puzzled them was...

Despite being in such a desperate situation, the young man's expression remained unusually calm, and a slight smile even appeared on his lips.

"Your strength is not bad."

"I haven't experienced this kind of tough battle in a long time."

"As a reward, I'll show you my current limit!"

boom--

The next moment, an invisible force violently poured into Xia En's body, as if an invisible hiss echoed above the two ships.

A surging wave of air suddenly swept outwards from him!
