Chapter 10 Awakening
A furious roar that seemed to tear the ship apart resounded over the sea.
On the deck, Nuo Lan held the short blade in both hands, staring intently at the bloody figure rushing toward him, walking quickly and retreating backwards.
Something went wrong with the plan.
Feeling his legs becoming increasingly sore, he secretly thought something was wrong.
I hadn't felt it before, but now that I had just rushed out of the cabin, I felt a little relieved, and the endless feeling of exhaustion that was not visible under the suppression of tight emotions began to flow through my body like running water.
The strong overdraft feeling surging in the calf, as if the muscles were melting, made Nolan's every step feel like walking through a forest of knives.
More and more powerless,
The unbearable pain was like tearing, making his pace slower and slower.
"It's over!"
Sweat had already soaked through her unlined clothes. Nuolan gritted her teeth, her face full of reluctance.
He knew full well that as long as he survived for a few more minutes, the seemingly powerful enemy in front of him would collapse due to excessive injuries.
But the excessive amount of exercise has already exceeded the limit of what my body can bear and is on the verge of collapse.
Just by moving his legs to retreat, he had used up the last of his strength.
The speed is getting slower and slower.
In this case, what should he do when facing the enemy in front of him who enters the flashback state?
"Crack!"
The heel collided with a foreign object, and Nolan's retreating body suddenly stopped.
Turning his head slightly and looking back, his heart was shocked.
Unconsciously, he retreated to the edge of the deck.
He has no way out.
Leaning against the railing, Nuo Lan panted violently, sweat dripping from his forehead, running across the sharp blade in his hand, and splashing tiny water splashes on the board.
There are inexplicable emotions swirling around in my chest.
"Back, back, back."
"You have retreated all your life, do you want to retreat now?"
In a desperate situation, he lives towards death.
He licked his lips. The long period of dehydration caused his lips to become chapped and bleed.
Suddenly, a fishy, salty taste like rust filled your mouth.
A thought is fleeting,
Blood tastes like iron.
Immediately, the emotions that had been suppressed since the time travel burst out in an instant!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The heart beats powerfully, and the endless vigorous power is extended to the whole body.
Ka-
As if breaking through some invisible shackles, the warmth of the stars burst out from all parts of the body, turning into streams of heat, like countless streams flowing into the river and sea, rushing towards the top of the skull.
A brand new world slowly unfolded before Nolan's eyes.
It's like pressing 0.5x speed, everything slows down.
It’s the tiny drops of blood that burst out of the scarred man’s wound when he ran, it’s every ripple on the surface of the black pirate flag above his head as it sways in the wind, it’s the few bubbles that pop up on the blue sea in the distance;
It is the roar of blood flowing in the blood vessels, the sound of waves splashing on the hull of the ship, and the roar of the strong wind high in the sky...
Sight, hearing, taste, touch, intelligence,
All kinds of things that he had never paid attention to before, and had no ability to notice, turned into a huge and complicated flow of information, and were forcefully instilled into Nolan's mind in an instant in an invisible and exaggerated manner.
Drowsiness and mental confusion.
At this moment, he lost the ability to think.
The ferocious and muscular figure had already rushed in front of him, and the incomplete blade was raised high, as if announcing the arrival of death.
Nuolan was in a daze, her eyes unfocused.
Just out of the desire to survive, he followed his body's instinct and subconsciously raised his hands holding the short blade.
Stab forward suddenly!
Tsk-
On the cold deck, the sharp and bright light flashed past like a silver-white horse.
The roar suddenly stopped.
There was a moment of stagnation, and then hot blood spattered onto his face.
Nuo Lan could clearly feel that the short blade in his hand seemed to have cut something.
Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of sleepiness emerged from his heart, sweeping and spreading, swallowing up the remaining consciousness.
"Bang."
"Bang."
In the sea breeze, the sounds of two heavy objects falling to the ground were heard one after another.
…
…
George sat in the observation room a little bored.
As a private belonging to "Navy Branch 261", there is nothing superhuman about him.
It's not his fault,
In fact, if it hadn't been for the fact that at the age of 23, his mother, who had been stimulated for some reason, suddenly asked for connections and stuffed him into a nearby naval branch.
I am afraid that now he has inherited the shop left by his father and has become a respected blacksmith shop owner.
Thinking of this, George couldn't help but shook his head with regret.
Even though he has been in the navy for 4 years, his military rank has been promoted from the initial "miscellaneous" to the current "private" based on his seniority, and he can receive a lot of monthly allowances.
But he is still reluctant to part with the beautiful memories of his childhood when he was red-faced and swinging a hammer in front of the furnace.
Taking a sip of the slightly cooled black tea, George refreshed himself and glanced at the clock on the upper right side of the observation room.
17:37.
"There are 23 minutes left until shift handover."
As he muttered, the aroma of food wafting from the warship cabin below made him purse his lips involuntarily.
suddenly,
A dark shadow floating on the sea in the distance attracted George's attention.
"Um!?"
After being slightly startled, he picked up the telescope at hand, squinted his glasses and looked over.
His expression suddenly changed,
He turned around hurriedly, ignoring the teacup that was knocked to the ground, and reached out to press the alarm button hard.
"beep!!!"
The next second, a high and sharp whistle sounded on the warship.
…
five minutes later,
On the deck of the warship, a total of 200 navy personnel from five teams were neatly lined up in four rows, holding naval standard weapons in their hands and standing ready.
At the front of the team, a middle-aged man wearing an officer's uniform was standing with his chest crossed and a serious look on his face.
"Report sir!"
"What we encountered was the 'Ushikaku Pirates'. It is worth noting that Captain 'Sharko' Bate has a bounty of 15 million Baileys, and staff officer 'Haifu' Ke has a bounty of 7.5 million Baileys.
Lawley.”
Flair waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
Having been in the army for more than 20 years, he no longer had any expectations for the naming abilities of these pirates.
"Shark Cow", "Sea Fox" and so on are pretty good, at least they can be said in front of others, unlike...
As if he thought of something, Flair's brows twitched slightly.
"Approach at full speed and prepare for a boarding battle!"
In fact, for encounters with pirates on the sea, long-distance naval gunfire is the safest choice.
After all, for most pirates who just find a fishing boat, hang a pirate flag and go out to fight for the so-called "one piece" secret treasure,
A naval warship equipped with multiple large-caliber naval guns is undoubtedly a nightmare existence.
It's just that this time, the situation is a little special.
"Infighting?"
Flair wasn't surprised.
Given the varying qualities of pirates, internal strife is common.
Just save yourself some ammunition.
And even if any unexpected situation arises, with the strength of the captain of his naval branch, he can basically solve it.
Chapter completed!
