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

She put the almost finished 'Pterosaur Sphere' bag back into the Millennium Bricks, smoothed her skirt and stood up.

When the children heard that Ossi and the others were coming back, they were all very happy.

"Yeah!"

"I want to hear Sister Ossi continue her story when she comes back!"

"And the toys she promised us!"

"..."

"Don't be lazy. I'll check when I get back. If you haven't trained for the required time, I'll make sure you make up for it."

"Eh--"

Ignoring the children's cries, Zaidao La's body was engulfed in golden flames, and in the next instant he was in the sky beyond everyone's sight.

At this time, in the sky near Fenrir, in addition to Ra who had just set off and Jhin who was racing against time to rush to the location of Skepgate... there was also a third force that was moving rapidly.

……

Five minutes later, La arrived at the destination.

It landed gently on the deck of the Beasts' main ship. Because the speed was too fast and the movement was too light, no one, including Burfat, could react at the first moment.

Her presence went unnoticed until she placed her hand on the already stopped heart.

However, no one present dared to make any noise at this moment. Even their breathing was stretched out as long as possible to minimize interference with the air.

The pale golden divine fire brought life back to the nearly dried-up body. The flesh and blood body damaged by external forces was also caressed by the flame and was performing miracles as if time was reversed according to the blueprint of life.

Thirty seconds later—

Boom!

A strong heartbeat sounded again in the unconscious body, followed by a second and a third.

Boom!

Boom!

……

The gears of life began to turn again, and everyone finally dared to breathe freely and began to breathe a little more heavily.

"Hey, is Boss Kaido okay?"

Burfat couldn't hold back any longer, and asked with concern as he looked at La who was half-squatting on the deck to maintain the fire.

La didn't look away, his slender hand still gently placed on Kaido's chest, maintaining the healing while answering:

"Captain Kaido was seriously injured this time. His arms, chest, and even his heart were damaged to varying degrees. It will take at least thirty minutes to fully recover."

"Three...thirty minutes?!"

"Well, that's just half an hour."

"No, I know how long thirty minutes is, but how could it be this fast?!"

Burfat was a little surprised. Was the so-called 'complete recovery' what he meant?

"quick?"

"Sorry, since there's no other control group, I can't judge the standard of what's fast or slow."

"Okay, okay, that's enough."

Burfat stretched out his hands as if to retreat. Now that La had arrived, he felt relieved again and began to think about other problems.

You know, there is a mixed fleet not far away, eyeing them covetously. They might have already set off after hearing the noise, and it is very likely that Jhin, who is going to look for Skepgate, will collide with them.

Now that Ra and Boss Kaido are unable to move, we must carefully consider how to act to avoid danger and ensure the safety of everyone.

Chapter 241: Race Against Time (Part 1)

After much consideration, Skepgate gave the order to return.

It’s not that he wants to abandon Jhin or anything, but he can’t just sit there and wait for death.

After all, Jhin can fly, so as long as he doesn't actively approach the navy, he should be fine. As the navy's main target, they can't just wait foolishly for others to surround them.

Got to get moving.

Anyway, let's delay for thirty minutes and wait for Boss Kaido to wake up... Then it will be up to him to decide whether to launch a surprise attack or not.

"The nearest island is..."

"Galga Island."

"It's the territory guarded by Team Thirteen."

Taolong, who was wrapped in bandages and had already woken up, reminded that he had investigated every island under the control of Baishou in the past year.

As the outermost marginal island with few resources, the troops stationed on the island of Gelga are naturally the 13th combat team with the lowest ranking.

"Ah."

"Then let's head towards Gailga Island first and send a flag signal so that the other ships can follow us."

"Yes!"

……

"So, Kaido and Bondi Wald almost died together?"

"Can you confirm the current status of the two?"

On the navy side, Sengoku asked seriously, holding a Den Den Mushi with a blue seagull logo painted on the shell.

This is a one-to-one, single-threaded Den Den Mushi used exclusively by the Navy's intelligence agencies. It can achieve excellent confidentiality without the need for an external white Den Den Mushi to protect against eavesdropping.

For such an important operation, Zhan Guo certainly could not rely on the CP organization as the only source of intelligence.

Although the opponent's intelligence gathering ability is recognized as the best, Zhan Guo's character has always been to like to make multiple preparations.

Therefore, in addition to the CP organizations of different systems, he also arranged several scouts within the navy's own system to monitor the entire battlefield.

Although the information from his own people may not arrive so quickly, Zhan Guo is more inclined to trust these people in his heart.

"Wald himself is most likely dead, but his body has not been found yet."

"Kaido is currently in a coma due to serious injuries. Jin suddenly left five minutes ago and he seems to be heading towards you, General Sengoku."

"Also, the main fleet of the Beasts was unable to change direction just now. According to the nautical chart, their most likely target location is Gelga Island."

On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, beneath the sea, in a simple submarine, a serious, square-faced military officer was reporting clearly and coherently with a dedicated Den Den Mushi.

His military rank was already that of brigadier general, and he was originally in charge of the intelligence work of the four seas. However, some time ago, the chief of intelligence of the New World seemed to be held accountable by the marshal for dereliction of duty, so he was asked to take over.

As a veteran agent who has worked his way up from the grassroots, his professionalism is naturally beyond reproach.

……

"Jin is coming towards me?"

After hearing the intelligence from the other side, Zhan Guo was a little surprised. Why did King, a cadre, not stay to calm the people down when Kai was seriously injured, but instead walked into his trap and came to his side...

Come to surrender?

impossible!

"We speculate that they are trying to reunite with the beast scouts around you and delay the main fleet's retreat."

The experienced new Chief of Intelligence immediately gave his analysis, and revealed in his words that the whereabouts of Skepgate and others had actually been exposed to the Navy's vision for a long time.

After all, the Beasts only launched a hasty attack this time, while the Navy had been preparing for a long time, and the efforts made by the two in intelligence were completely unequal.

After hearing the other party's analysis, Zhan Guo nodded, and felt more confident.

"Yes, that makes sense. You continue to monitor and report to me immediately if you see any unusual movements."

"Also, send some underwater reconnaissance ships to harass them. We don't aim to cause any harm, just try to buy time."

"understand!"

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, the Chief of Intelligence ordered the other submarines on standby nearby to surface and fire a few shells from time to time, and then continued to stand guard in front of the periscope, staring intently at the movements of the Beast Fleet.

However, due to the distance and the angle, he did not notice the small golden figure on the deck.

On the other hand, Zhan Guo, who finally got all the information he wanted, immediately ordered a slight change of course. He wanted to arrive near Gelga Island before the Beast Fleet and wait for the opportunity.

[But before that, let's get rid of the enemy scouts.]

Thinking about this, Zhan Guo looked at the messenger:

"Notify Rear Admiral Alberridge and have him lead two warships to eliminate the surveillance ship over there as quickly as possible."

"Yes! General Sengoku!"

……

"Huh? Let me deal with the beast's eyes?"

As a well-known veteran of the unit, Alberich was somewhat reluctant after receiving the order.

He was not afraid of not being able to defeat the opponent, but he was worried that he might not be able to keep up with the final battle.

You have to know that there is a huge difference between participating in a main battle and eliminating a scout.

But the general's orders must be obeyed...

"Never mind, let's try to make it quick... I hope we can catch up."

As he said this, he immediately ordered the ship to turn around and gallop towards Skepgate. It seemed that he intended to end the battle with a single round of artillery fire.

Skepgate and others who were not far away also reacted immediately.

"Oh no!"

"Two warships are heading straight towards us!"

"We must have been discovered, Captain Gate!"

The lookout shouted loudly.

"puff--"

Freshly squeezed juice spurted out of his mouth. Skepgate took off his sunglasses, his eyes full of confusion and disbelief.

"Huh? The navy is coming for me?"

"Yes! And the opponent's speed is very fast!"

"What to do, Captain?"

"What to do... then of course we'll go head-on!"

Snapped!

The goblet in his hand was thrown to the ground, and the confused expression on Skepgate's face instantly turned into a Beastly-style arrogant smile.

He had always remembered what Wright had advised him. Although he still looked lazy on the outside, the belly beneath his clothes was no longer the one that shook all the time.

It's time to show the strength of the first affiliated pirate group under the command of Hundred Beasts!

"Pull the boat over!"

"Yes!"

……

Bang! ! !

Five minutes later, both sides came within the range of each other's artillery fire, and the battle was about to break out!

Bang!Bang!

With the advantage in numbers and the fact that the navy ships were larger than ordinary pirate ships, Alberic immediately gained the upper hand at the beginning of the battle.

But the fire suppression didn't last long. The new artillery on the Skepgate ship was an order of magnitude more accurate than the old model...

Shoot more VS shoot more accurately!

The two sides fought fiercely for a while.

At the same time, Jin naturally collided with the combined fleet of Sengoku.
