Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 24 Firefight?Click's desperate move

Navy and pirates fighting?
Davy Jones' gray-blue eyes looked towards the sea level. As the five ships got closer and closer, the pirate flags and navy flags on the ship's masts became more and more conspicuous.

The pirate flag is a white skull on a black background, with an hourglass pattern next to the white skull.

The naval flag is a blue seagull on a white background.

Crowe and Arrita were silently waiting for his next instructions.

"Alita," he ordered, "call Bucky out."

"Yes." Arrita didn't ask why. She just pressed her white wide-brimmed hat, nodded in agreement, and then walked towards the cabin.

After a while, she led Bucky, who was nervous, to the deck.

"Captain, you called me?" Bucky asked curiously. When he noticed the navy warships and pirate ships on the sea out of the corner of his eye, he was startled, "Navy? And pirates? Captain, we are Is there going to be a war?”

Davy Jones nodded and twisted his tentacles: "Take a look first. If you have the chance, you might as well test the power of the bucky bomb."

Speaking of the cannonballs he developed, Bucky immediately became excited.

He promised repeatedly, first brought a bucky bomb, and then stuffed it into the cannon that emerged from the Dread Ghost.

Bucky has only made 4 such shells so far.

According to the contract, even if the shells are used, as long as their power is up to standard, they will be counted among the 100 shells made for Davy Jones, so Bucky has no pressure to use them.

The cannonballs rolled to the end, and Bucky adjusted the position of the cannon and aimed it in the direction of the navy warship and pirate ship.
-
On the flagship of three naval warships, stood a man wearing a navy hat. He had a long scar on the right side of his face and always had a rebellious smile at the corner of his mouth.

This man is Captain "Iron Fist" Hebodi of the Navy Headquarters.

Even though his military rank is only "captain", his actual power is several levels higher than that of the captain of the navy branch. Therefore, he can command three navy warships to pursue the remnant pirate army in front of him.

And the pirates he was chasing were none other than the famous "Admiral" Click in the East China Sea!
It is said that Klik has a total of 50 ships and a large number of subordinates, claiming to have as many as 5000 people. However, it has always been entrenched in the East China Sea and has never set foot on the Grand Route.

A few days ago, Hebodi unexpectedly encountered the Creek Pirates with only three ships left near the entrance and exit of the Grand Line.

He immediately guessed that the Creek Pirates must have overestimated their capabilities in challenging the Grand Line and encountered some powerful enemy, which caused the number of 50 ships to drop sharply to only 3, and finally fled back to the East China Sea in a panic.

For Hebodi, who works at the Navy Headquarters, he has seen many pirates like this.

At the same time, he also smelled an opportunity.

This is the perfect opportunity to defeat the Creek Pirates and capture "Admiral" Creek. Once successful, this achievement will be enough for him to go one step further!
So, Hebodi immediately mobilized three naval warships and launched an endless pursuit of the three dilapidated pirate ships of the Crick Pirates!

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
The number of ships seems to be equal, but the navy warships are much stronger than the ships of the Creek Pirates.

Not to mention that the Creek Pirates are now almost out of ammunition and food, and their morale has plummeted.

Soon, a ship of the Creek Pirates was sunk by a warship.

The other two pirate ships flew away without looking back.

This made Hebodi even more ecstatic. He believed that as long as he continued to pursue, it would be only a matter of time before he achieved complete victory.

How will newspapers publish his heroic deeds then?
"The naval hero who single-handedly defeated 'Admiral' Creek!!!"

The more Hebodi imagined, the more excitedly he rubbed the thumb on his hand, commanding the navy soldiers to continue the pursuit, demanding that he must catch up.

While being hunted by three naval warships, the two remaining pirate ships of the Creek Pirates maintained a formation one behind the other and did not dare to dock at the port for supplies.

They could only keep running away.

At this moment, on the pirate ship at the front, a group of pirates were sitting cross-legged on the deck, and the atmosphere was gloomy and depressing.

"Admiral" Click, wearing golden armor, sat on a chair not far away and said nothing.

He listened to the occasional shelling of naval warships behind him, and narrowed his eyes, scanning the frustrated faces of his men one by one.

Only seven days after leaving for the Grand Line, they fled back to the East China Sea in a state of disgrace. The originally powerful pirate fleet now only had two pirate ships left.

Among his capable cadres, only the captain A Jin and the captain Balu of the second team survived, while the other captains were all buried at the bottom of the sea.

All the nightmares originated from the man I met on the 7th day.

Click touched his forehead and felt very unhappy. This feeling of frustration that he could not win even if he tried all despicable means made him even begin to doubt himself.

Incomprehensible.

Why can the other party destroy most of my fleet with just one person?Really incomprehensible.

Now, the Creek Pirates have been reduced to being chased by three navy warships.

In the past, if they only had to deploy 50 ships, how could any naval fleet dare to catch up?
"Damn it!" Balu was wearing two pieces of metal plate armor, sandwiching him like a sandwich biscuit. He stood up, "Captain, let's turn around and fight back! How can we let those marines ride on top of us?"

Ah Jin, who was wearing a striped hood, immediately retorted:

"Fight back? How to fight back? Our ammunition has been exhausted when we dealt with the man on the Grand Route. Not to mention the ammunition, our food and fresh water will soon run out. In a few days, we will have to endure Hungry!"

"Then pretend to surrender, then force board the ship and engage in hand-to-hand combat!"

"Do you think naval warships will let our pirate ships approach? They know our style very well and will never trust us again!"

"Are we just going to swallow our anger like this?" Balu was furious. "We, the Crick Pirates, have been galloping around the East China Sea for so many years. When have we ever experienced this kind of cowardice?"

Ajin shook his head: "In short, it is impossible to fight back. The only way to go is to find a way to get rid of the navy!"

"How to get rid of them? They are chasing after us! If we don't turn back while we still have the strength, how long will we have to wait? Fight back and then seize their warship. This is the only way to survive!"

Unexpectedly, the captain and the second captain got into a quarrel. The pirates were all silent and did not dare to express their opinions.

"That's enough!" Crick shouted.

Ajin and Balu saw Klick looking angry, and after looking at each other, they had no choice but to suppress the argument and retreat to both sides.

Klick actually understood that what A Jin and Balu said made sense. Their current situation forced them to choose one of the two. Choosing the wrong route would be a disaster.

This made Crick, who once ambitiously wanted to conquer the Grand Line, feel even more ashamed.

And at this moment, it was as if God heard what he was thinking and gave him new hope.

"Captain!" The pirate in charge of the lookout ran over, "A black ship was found ahead without any flags."

Click was silent for a while, then his tall body stood up from the chair: "Give me the telescope."

"Yes, Captain!"

After Clark took the telescope, he carefully observed the black ship ahead. Indeed, he did not see any iconic flags, and he could not even see a few crew members.

Through the telescope, he only saw a black-haired woman on the bow of the ship.

It was neither a pirate ship nor a navy warship, and at the same time it was carrying a beautiful woman.

Could it be that it's a cargo ship or a passenger ship?

A glimmer of hope ignited in Click's heart.

Maybe there are enough supplies on that ship to support their continued sailing, and even be able to fight back against the entangled navy?

After a brief thought, Crick made his decision.

"Akin!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"You go to the ship behind and be responsible for delaying the three naval warships for a period of time."

The pirates were surprised when they heard this.

What's the difference between letting the commander-in-chief lead a ship to break up and die?
Ajin's dark-rimmed eyes also showed surprise, but he quickly responded because of his loyalty to Crick.

"Yes, Captain, I promise to complete the mission!"

After Ajin finished speaking, he walked to the stern of the ship, followed the rope, and swung to the pirate ship behind to direct the battle.

Balu then moved closer to Crick.

"Captain, are we trying to escape?"

"Hmph. Who do you think I am?" Crick sneered and pointed to the black ship ahead, "Pull the ship over and take advantage of Ajin's delay to grab as much supplies as possible. If there is ammunition, , we will have the capital to fight back."

Only then did Balu understand what Click was thinking, and he suddenly beamed.

"Yes, Captain!" Balu turned around and shouted loudly, "Have you all heard the captain's order? Cheer up and get ready to board the ship and rob! This is our old profession!"
