And not one or two.
Hundreds of heads were swaying in the wind on the long sails of the warship. Each of them was a pirate with a bounty on his head. The coagulated black blood had completely covered the navy emblem on the sails! !
Chapter 269 Beheading Night
The dark ocean after midnight, the night wind howling.
The cold night wind blew the heads of the people on the opposite warships, which were covered with sails, causing them to sway and collide. Their lifeless pupils were "looking" towards this side, as if they were saying...
Come join us!
Captain Leib made a gurgling sound in his throat.
Although he did not show the ugly appearance of a navigator, the cold night wind still made the temperature of his heart drop to freezing point.
As an old pirate who has been in the business for many years, he is not an expert in navigation knowledge, but after many years of sailing experience, it is not an exaggeration to say that "if you read 300 Tang poems, you will be able to recite them even if you cannot compose poems." He also has some common sense of navigation.
The twelve o'clock direction is right in front of him. Although it is dark at the moment, since the distance between the two sides is enough for him to see each other, the other side must be able to see him as well, unless their lookout sentries are sleeping.
It is very difficult to escape now.
Except for a few pirate groups, the speed of most pirate groups' pirate ships is slightly slower than that of warships.
In the past, there were generally four ways to deal with the navy's pursuit.
First, the pirates are stronger than the navy and they fight back.
Second, the pirates' ships are slightly inferior to those of the navy, but not by much. The pirates on the ship draw life and death lots. Those who draw the death lot take a small boat to delay the navy, while the others escape on a large ship.
Third, in very rare cases, the pirates’ ships are more advanced and faster than the navy’s, so they can just run away.
fourth……
Just ram the boat! Fight to the death, even if you die, you must drag a few navy sailors down with you!
But now, none of these four methods can be used.
The pirate heads covered with sails have proved the opponent's strength, which is definitely stronger than their own. The bounty of Captain Leib is 6000 million, the bounty of the deputy captain swordsman Old George is 5500 million, and the most expensive head on the opposite warship is 7000 million!
But this is not the most terrifying thing. Captain Leib is a very careful person. He is very good at seeing the big picture from the details. The really terrifying thing is that the side, deck, sails and all the external parts of the warship opposite are not damaged at all, as if they were brand new!
There were no signs of fighting.
He killed so many famous pirates from the North Sea who were from different pirate groups, but there was not even a trace of a battle!
What does this mean? It means that the strength of both sides has reached a gap of 'orders of magnitude'!
The only way out may be to draw lots for life and death, allowing some people to delay in exchange for the opportunity for most people to escape.
But if they can choose this method, why can't other pirate groups choose this method?
When other pirate groups encountered this warship, their captains' heads were hanging on the sails!
This suggests that this path may not work either.
What Captain Leib realized, the navigator also realized.
So when he knew that there was a 99% chance that he would die today, a hot stream gushed out of his lower body, revealing his ugly appearance.
Although being a pirate is a job that requires one to take risks, not everyone can face life and death calmly.
The navigator looked at his captain, waiting for his final decision.
Captain Leib was silent for three seconds. In just three seconds, he felt like he had experienced three years, and beads of sweat continued to seep out of his forehead.
He thought a lot in these three seconds, and various possibilities appeared in his mind.
Finally he said, "Full rudder to port, full sail... get around him!"
This was Captain Leib's final decision.
The ship can’t outrun the enemy if it’s faster than them.
There is no point in resisting. The gap in combat power between the two sides is too great. Even if you attack with all your strength, you may not be able to scratch the opponent's deck.
Then, the only choice he could make was to gamble!
I bet that the lookout on the opposite side has poorer eyesight than my side, and that the lookout on the opposite side couldn't help but take a nap at night and didn't notice me!
What are the odds of this happening? One in ten?
Captain Leib didn't know, but this was the only choice he had.
Only by choosing this way can you have a chance to survive.
With certain death and a one in ten chance of survival, all the pirates on the ship were waiting in silence.
The bleak night wind was still blowing, and Captain Leib held up a telescope, observing the movements on the opposite deck in real time.
No marines came out.
The opponent's route did not deviate due to the turning of their own ship, and the warship was still sailing along its original route.
Ten minutes passed.
The ships of both sides were getting closer.
Twenty minutes passed.
The two sides took a certain point as the dividing line and began to move away from each other.
The warship didn't seem to notice them.
...survived?
Watching the warship sailing away, Captain Leib reached out his hand to his chest.
The warship was clearly going farther and farther away, so why was I still feeling uneasy and anxious?
"Something is coming!" Just when Captain Leib was puzzled, he suddenly heard a loud shout in his ears!
He put down the telescope, and the voice came from his second-in-command, Old George.
When Leib gave the order to change the course of the ship, everyone on the ship naturally felt it. Old George stopped maintaining his sword and came to the captain's side as soon as possible, ready for battle.
Leib glanced sideways and saw that veins bulged on Old George's face. He held the water tiger tightly in his hand and kept looking around.
He has practiced sword for most of his life. Although he is not very smart, he can make up for his shortcomings with diligence. After fighting life and death again and again, he has grown a lot.
Captain Leib is a low-key pirate, and so is his deputy captain, Old George. In fact, he is on the verge of awakening his Observation Haki, and his strength is far more than the 5500 million Bailey bounty.
His keen sense of life and death, having experienced it for a long time, told him that danger was approaching!
Although Captain Leib does not have that kind of perception, he has intuition.
His heart was beating faster and faster, telling him that old George's nervousness was not coming out of nowhere.
Leib looked around and didn't find anything unusual. He glanced in the direction of the warship and there was no movement there either.
So……
Where does the danger come from?
Before he could figure out the result, he heard a swish and the old swordsman beside him drew his sword in an instant and made a very fast cassock slash!
Clang!
There was the sound of metal clashing.
Plop, plop, plop...
Gulu, gurgle, gurgle...
Along with the sound of metal colliding, there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and rolling.
Then there was the sound of liquid splashing.
In fact, when the human head is on the neck, it may not feel very heavy, but in fact it weighs about ten kilograms, which is about the same as a bowling ball.
And at the moment when the old swordsman swung his sword, not only the pirates on the deck, but also the pirates in the cabin, even those who closed the doors and hid in the corners, all fell to the ground at the same time!
In just one second, there were only two people left alive on this pirate ship with nearly 200 pirates!!
【The Silk-pulling Play: Hanging the Head! 】
Chapter 270 The more you kill, the stronger you become! The more you fight, the more fun you have!
Warm blood flowed down from the top of the head.
It passed across the forehead and encountered resistance at the eyebrows, then slid along the trajectory of the eyebrows to the sides of the cheeks, as if shedding two lines of blood and tears.
Without having to touch it with his hands, Captain Leib knew what kind of damage he had suffered by looking at the black, red and white object bouncing on the ground not far away.
His perception was not as sharp as the old swordsman's, and he began to dodge subconsciously after the old swordsman made a move, so he was still half a beat slower.
The sharp silk slid across his head, taking away half of his skull!
If Captain Leib didn't react in time, he would have lost his head like the other pirates, but if he was 0.1 second slower, he could have enjoyed the legendary "amputation below the eyebrows".
"Silk? Thread? No, this is... hair!" Captain Leib said as his muscles surged. Soon two sharp horns grew on both sides of the wound on his head where the bone was visible.
[Cow-Cow Fruit: Pointed-Horned Gazelle Form! ]
【Humanization! 】
This is a devil fruit that can make a leap forward in a person's leg muscle groups. It can also slightly improve eyesight. The improvement is not much, but it can make his eyesight better than ordinary people.
"Captain, it seems we are doomed this time." Although he said these words in despair, the old swordsman had a smile on his face.
At the moment of life and death, the old swordsman finally broke through the door that he had approached but missed many times in his life.
He awakened his observation Haki!
With the help of the shortcut of seeing and hearing color, he heard the "breathing" from all things!
It was also because of the awakening of his insight that he saw the densely packed hair that was already entangled on the ship.
And the hair that almost cost him his life just now was just one of them.
"...Captain, I don't regret boarding your ship. If there is an afterlife, I hope I can board your ship again." The old swordsman raised the water tiger in his hand. The sharp sword Fifty Gong, which he usually cherished as his life, had a gap on the blade at this moment, which was the place where it had just collided with the hair.
At this moment of death, the old swordsman's heart was very calm.
He was already very old, and his body was covered with scars from fighting throughout his life. Even if he had not experienced this incident, he could only live for another ten years at most.
He felt happy that he could break through to this realm before he died and could truly hold his head high and call himself a swordsman.
After the final farewell, he let go of everything and poured all of himself into his sword.
After breaking through to this level, it would be a shame if he couldn't even swing a sword that could cut through iron.
He was listening to the movement of the hair.
then……
cut! !
【String-pulling play·String-cutting! 】
Swish!
"I heard."
Black hair fluttered in the wind.
The old swordsman cut off the black hair that was sweeping towards him. This time there was no sound of metal clashing, and no new cracks appeared on the long sword Water Tiger in the swordsman's hand.
The attack of the hair did not stop because it was cut off.
Another strand of hair passed by.
[Sword with a string! Behead!]
Wow...
This time, there was no sound of metal clashing.
Yes, there was the sound of half a sharp blade falling on the deck and bouncing a few times.
"Iron-cutting... realm..." A red bloodstain appeared on the neck. Before the blood spurted out, the old swordsman holding the half-broken sword murmured incredibly with his last bit of strength.
"Thank you for letting me learn something interesting again." A strange male voice came. It was the last voice the old swordsman heard before his consciousness faded.
Language is the way humans communicate with each other by vibrating the air with their vocal cords.
But for the strong, it is just a matter of vibrating the air precisely to produce mechanical waves, which can be done without the use of vocal cords.
Li Zhong can also do something similar with hair.
