I'll forge a new destiny

Chapter 2 Destiny Node
  [Please choose one of the following three options. 】

[Fragments of the Sky Star (information): Under the guidance of fate, you will definitely get a fragment of the Sky Star.

(This is the beginning of the ordinary person’s journey to the strong, and the starting point for his destiny to change.)]

[Unknown Distance (Blessing): With the blessing of fate, ride on a current and complete a safe voyage.

(The Turbulent Sea is the favorite sea area of ​​​​businessmen. The current here can safely transport you to any place, as long as you find the right one, as long as you find the right one.)]

[Ship Spirit's Sympathy (Temporary): Under the witness of fate, you become a community of destiny with the Watermelon Pi at your feet, and you can control it with ease.

(Because of the love and care of Captain Wind, the Watermelon Pi under your feet has developed an ignorant consciousness, but this consciousness is almost nonexistent. Perhaps you can respond to the ship spirit’s desire to help the captain.)]

"They're all good things, but it looks like I don't have a choice."

Both the systematic introduction and the desire emerging from his heart told him that the first option was the treasure that Charles desired, something that allowed mortals to change their destiny.

It's a pity that it's useless even if you just give the fragment to yourself now, not to mention it's just information.

The first mate and boatswain in my memory were both powerful awakeners, and Captain Winde, a man with the surname Mellon, could even burst out with fighting spirit. Now that even they are in a tough fight, it doesn't matter if there is one more rookie awakener.

The second option is indeed a rare treasure for merchant ships. A stable waterway is no worse than a golden mountain. Even if the boarding battle does not start now, it is a good choice to find a current to escape.

And now even if we ride on the new ocean current, those sea rats can still keep up, unless...

The rain will be heavier.

Looking up, I saw that the rain was indeed getting heavier, but I didn’t dare to wait.

There is a high probability that the ship will not be able to withstand it.

Since the first two have determined that they cannot be of any help to the current situation, we can only take a gamble on the ship spirit's empathy.

"At least-" He lowered his waist slightly and firmly resisted the rudder that wanted to swing. "At least it makes this thing more stable."

Feeling the shaking around him, and listening to the continuous firing of cannons from the two pirate ships surrounding the Watermelon Pi, Zhang Xing still shouted loudly, even though he knew it was not necessary.

"Watermelon peel, move!"

It felt like being punched hard in the stomach by the air, and it started to hurt before the body could even react. In the dizziness, the feeling of being hit by the air became clearer and more numerous.

After Zhang Xing's body gradually began to come to life, he suddenly realized that his vision had changed unprecedentedly.

It is no longer the surrounding environment that is shaking, but oneself.

The sound of the hulls cracking from the impact of the air was like tearing a hole in his body.

No, not like.

It's not the blow of the air, but the metal jets that the pirate ships are spitting out. Zhang Xing felt a clear sense of pain and tearing as the shells tore through the air and the ship's hull shattered after being hit.

'At least I don't have to wonder if I've been shot. ’

Holding the rudder tight, the resonance deepens further.

Zhang Xing, or Xiguapihao, reached an agreement at this moment.

Now, he will not be harmed until the Watermelon Pi sinks.

Similarly, once the Watermelon Pi is irreparably hit during the process of empathy, his own end will not be very good.

‘They used stick bullets, which are quite destructive. It seems they were determined to sink us afterwards. ’

Using facts to strengthen his determination to resist, Zhang Xing looked for ways to fight back.    Multiple information can be received much more clearly with the senses of a boat than with the senses of a human being.

This is a good thing, but it also means trouble in battle, especially when you are dealing with a very ignorant child who only whispers in your ear to help his father.

There was fire, pain, and screams everywhere, a complex and confusing mess of information.

All Zhang Xing could hear was the sound of wood smashing and people screaming, as well as the smell of death - after the shells hit, the scattered broken boards were covered with their blood, whether they were enemies or comrades.

Fortunately, even though Captain Wende was lame in one leg, he could still hold on for Zhang Xing for a while.

But the water pouring into the lower deck, the breaking of the mast rope, and the whimpering of the mast constantly reminded him to hurry up.

‘Damn it, even the lookout hand is dead. ’

It seems that no one can pull the mainsail. The pirates who cut off the lookout's head are moving along the rope ladder on the horizontal rope, trying to completely destroy the mainsail of Xiguapi, leaving them with no way to escape. .

Only then did Zhang Xing finally understand what the system said about the power of the torrent of destiny - just like a drowning fat man, the hull of the Watermelon Pi had begun to tilt and gradually sank into the water.

This small tributary seems to be about to return to its original trajectory...

'But not, not now! ’

The ship spirit is a legend on the sea, a treasure that countless men on the sea long for. They all say that a ship blessed by the ship spirit will be able to break through the wind and waves and travel to every corner of the world.

This is even just a legend created by a naturally occurring ship spirit. No one has ever known what a conscious ship spirit can do?
  Zhang Xing knew that after he found the Xiguapi's gunwales, he knew exactly what he could do.

In the thick sulfur gas and the thick black air, grenades and chain bombs, under the command of unknown forces, passed over the suffocated corpses in the cabin, together with the gunpowder that shook off the blood on its own particles, Entered the barrel.

Without turning the rudder, just by having such an idea, the entire Watermelon Pi swayed in an elegant arc under the flanks of the two pirate ships, completing an impossible adjustment of position.

Now, the artillery on both sides of the ship were all aimed at the enemy.

Every grain of gunpowder began to burst into flames spontaneously. Zhang Xing believed in this perfect and complete combustion.

‘There should be nothing more perfect than this bombardment on this sea. ’

If there is……

'That's my second round of bombardment! ’

The uninterrupted broadside salvo brought a slight pause to the entire battlefield.

Now, it's the turn of the subjects of the Watermelon Pi Kingdom to start cheering.

The smoke from the muzzle continued to fill the air, and the ballistics that could be adjusted at any time perfectly suppressed the two clippers.

As pirate ships, they may be light enough, but their firepower is only so much.

The hook locks linked by the broadside battle have now become their talisman. After the grenades completely destroy the muzzles and the chain bullets penetrate the sails, they will also fall into the fate of the watermelon rind.

Everything seems to be getting better.

The Watermelon Pi's ammunition is sufficient to penetrate two more pirate ships, and this is still the data under the control of those crew members - the ship spirit will not waste anything on the ship, especially because of such a trivial matter as aiming.

But Captain Winde, who was at the forefront of the battle, did not relax at all, nor did the enemies he faced. Similarly, other people under their command are still fighting.

Under the influence of the ship spirit, Zhang Xing, who was always paying attention to his father, noticed this abnormality.

The fight between this group of strong men became particularly clear with his enhanced and unique senses, making him realize what he had overlooked.

　It’s a new beginning, but this time it’s different!
