"When I was a pirate, I once went to Italy on a ship. The girls there were so enthusiastic, especially their long legs that could break your waist."
"Whether the women there have big breasts or not, all I care about is breasts, preferably as big as a coconut. It will be very comfortable to sleep on."
"When it comes to beauties, Miss Elizabeth, the pearl of our Caribbean, is one of the best. Especially when she puts on tights, she can make people's eyes pop out."
"By the way, who invented the corset? I really love it. The inventor must be a lewd old man."
In the lower cabin, the sailors were eating dinner and talking about women.
For these people, money, wine, and women are the whole purpose of going to sea.
Wang Xu sat on the main seat, cutting steak with a knife and fork, listening to the comments of the people below.
Among the crowd, some people said that they wanted to save money to buy a boat and become the captain themselves in the future.
Some people also say that after working as a sailor for a few more years, they can return to the countryside and buy a farm, marry a not pretty but very virtuous woman, and never wander on the sea again.
Listening to everyone's conversation, Wang Xu quietly ate his steak without expressing his opinion.
It wasn't until everyone had finished eating that an old sailor asked: "Captain, you are so rich, why do you still want to be a captain?"
The sailors put down their knives and forks one after another, eager to know Wang Xu's answer.
In their imagination, a rich man like Wang Xu should live in a castle in London, with many wives and concubines around him, and many servants to serve him.
If they were so rich, they would definitely not go out to make a living. It would be great to be a rich man.
"Money is not everything. There are some things that money cannot buy." Wang Xu took a sip of rum and said meaningfully.
After hearing this answer, a young sailor in his twenties took the initiative to tell everyone: "The captain must be talking about love. Only perfect love cannot be bought with money."
"Hush!" The sailors raised their middle fingers one after another. Those who believe in love will only be deceived by love, and those who believe in money will be favored by money.
Seeing everyone's reaction, the young sailor became discouraged.
Wang Xu also shook his head slightly, money cannot buy love, let alone immortality.
The technology in the counter-world is so advanced that it only reduces the mortality rate of diseases and pushes the life span to 120 years old. You will still die when the time comes.
If it weren't for the Fountain of Youth, Wang Xu would not sail a boat out to sea. The thing he said money can't buy is not love but youth.
Of course, he would not say these words. Sailors only need to obey orders. Being too smart is not necessarily a good thing.
Ding ding ding ding...
Amidst the discussion, the sound of ringing the bell rang outside.
In an instant, the cabin became quiet, and everyone looked at the metal pipe above their heads.
This metal pipe connects all the cabins. As long as someone speaks loudly to it, the sound can be transmitted far.
"Get ready to fight, a pirate ship is coming!" The next second, a roar came from the metal tube, like a bomb being dropped into deep water, and all the sailors suddenly stood up.
"If there is an enemy, prepare for battle."
"Brothers, it's time to kill everyone!"
"Haha, my sword has been thirsty for a long time."
Sailors in the Age of Discovery had basically served as pirates. These people were not afraid of fighting, but had a faint yearning for it.
Upon learning that a pirate ship was coming, everyone put down their knives and forks and picked up their weapons, waiting for Wang Xu to give orders.
Wang Xu glanced slightly at the audience, picked up the wine glass, drank the rum in one gulp, and said: "The musketeers and swordsmen went up to the deck, the gunners were in place, the ship's carpenters were preparing to repair the damage, and the doctors were on standby in the infirmary. All
Everyone, take action, quickly, quickly, quickly.”
The sailors began to take action, and the Musketeers and Swordsmen followed Wang Xu onto the deck.
At this time, the wind and waves were thick, and in the violent storm, it was difficult to stand firmly on the deck.
Wang Xu put down the hat on his head, picked up the telescope, and stood on the bow of the ship to look far away.
When I saw it, I saw a dilapidated black strange ship, drifting with the waves, approaching the Planting Flower little by little.
"Black Pearl, it's you indeed!" Wang Xu narrowed his eyes and ordered Zacro next to him: "Fire!"
Zacro ran a few steps quickly, pulled up the metal pipe on the bow, and roared: "Fire the gun, fire the gun!"
Boom boom boom!!!
Due to the storm, the upper deck guns were temporarily unavailable.
But even so, the middle deck guns and the lower deck guns combined, there were still dozens of cannons roaring.
Cannonballs roared out one after another with the sound of breaking wind, turning into black dots and disappearing into the night sky.
Wang Xu watched quietly and saw these shells being fired, but the Black Pearl opposite did not react at all.
"What's going on? Did you miss it?"
"It's possible that the visibility was too low during the storm, and it's excusable that we missed it."
The surrounding sailors were whispering to each other, and it was only because the visibility was too low that the cannonball lost its accuracy.
But Wang Xu knew that this was not the case.
A shell roared out and hit the Black Pearl's hull, but it passed through like a phantom instead of hitting the target.
The same is true for several other cannonballs. They can obviously hit, but they just miss, as if the opponent is just a reflection of a mirage.
"The ghost ship is so spooky!"
Wang Xu put down the telescope and ordered: "Stop the artillery, although there are people on the deck, prepare for the battle."
"Boarding battle?" The sailors looked stunned. The Zhonghua is a second-class sailing battleship. Shouldn't it rely on powerful firepower to tear apart the enemy from a long distance?
"Prepare for a boarding battle, this is an order!" Wang Xu spoke again without explaining anything.
The sailors came to their senses one after another. The captain was the boss on the ship. If he wanted to engage in a boarding battle, of course he would have to engage in a boarding battle.
"Copycat, prepare for a boarding battle!"
"The captain has ordered that all crew members board the deck and prepare for a boarding battle."
With shouts, the sailors began to gather towards the deck.
Wang Xu raised the telescope again. At this time, the two ships were only a few hundred meters apart, and the Black Pearl still showed no sign of opening fire.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Xu realized what the other party was planning.
The Black Pearl is now a cursed ghost ship, and the sailors, including Barbossa, are also undead. The boarding battle has a great advantage for them.
In this case, only fools would attack with artillery fire. These people planned to directly occupy their ship through boarding battle.
"Captain Barbossa, the enemy has stopped shelling!"
On the Black Pearl, many pirates gathered at the bow of the ship, surrounded by a man wearing a captain's hat and a monkey squatting on his shoulders.
This man is Barbossa, the King of Caspian among the Seven Pirate Kings, Jack's former first mate and betrayer, and the current owner of the Black Pearl.
Hearing the answer from his men, Barbossa showed a ferocious smile on his face and whispered softly: "They are not a navy and have no tradition of blowing up battleships. We are about to have a sailing battleship!"
"Long live, long live, long live!" The pirate waved his sword and gun with extremely fiery eyes.
Owning a sailing battleship is every pirate's dream. Unfortunately, several countries that own sailing battleships have a tradition of blowing up the ships in unfavorable circumstances to prevent the battleships from falling into the hands of pirates.
To this day, the Black Pearl has destroyed eight sailing battleships instead of ten, and captured not a single sailing battleship.
"Pirates, prepare for a broadside battle, kill them all and steal the warship!" Barbossa drew out the sword from his waist and stood on the bow of the ship, roaring loudly.
Hearing the sound, all the pirates were excited, howling and beating their weapons.
At the same time, Wang Xu also began to give orders, ordering: "The swordsmen team is in front, the musketeers team is in the back, prepare to pick up the ship!"
