A certain scientific pirate

Mo Fei thinks that a person should have a basic IQ. For example, a "noble" person whose status is so "noble" that he can make other people improvise and have ulterior motives, when he is in a relatively dangerous environment with no safety guarantee. During this time, he should know how to conceal his identity.

If the facts are consistent with Mo Fei's common sense guess, then how did the old man know the identity of "Mr. Prince"?

Anyway, after chatting for a while, Mo Fei chose to say goodbye and leave. He decided to stay away from that person.

After it was a little late, he went to the restaurant on the ship to eat something to fill his stomach. Mo Fei's ticket did not include meal coupons, and the food provided in the restaurant on the ship was terrible and expensive...the main side dish was just salted fish.

Salted fish is salted fish, and it is delicious when cooked well. Mo Fei is a fisherman, so he is very professional in this area. But the salted fish on this boat smelled like those fish had athlete's foot before they were alive.

But there is one thing to say, although the food is unpalatable, compared with the Devil Fruit that Mo Fei once ate, this thing must be considered a delicacy.

Mo Fei finally understood that there was nothing new or novel about traveling across the sea in such a slow sailing boat. The whole process seemed very boring and idle.

There are no entertainment facilities on the ship, so if a man and a woman get on the ship, they can easily become three people when they get off the ship.

After dinner, Mo Fei left the restaurant and returned to the cabin. At this time, wind lanterns were hung on the bow and stern of the ship. The light vaguely illuminated the outline of the sailboat. This should be to avoid being confused with other ships when sailing at night. Collision... Although Mo Fei felt that the visibility on the sea at night was very limited due to frequent fog, so such lights may not necessarily play a big role.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the sea breeze is stronger at night than during the day, so the speed of the boat seems to be faster.

After returning to the cabin, Mo Fei lay down on the narrow single bed. With the flickering dim candlelight in the lampshade embedded in the wall of the ship, the sound of wind outside and the creaking of the ship's planks squeezed each other. He fell asleep after a while... except sleeping, he really had nothing to do.

Originally, he thought that this boring life on board would continue for many more days, but what he didn't expect was that things would soon change.

Late at night, just one day after sailing, the noise woke Mo Fei from his sleep. He suddenly opened his eyes, listened carefully for a while, then immediately put on his coat, put on his backpack and headed to the deck. Go up... Whether it's a rockslide or some other accident, staying in a small cabin at this time is never the right choice.

When he came to the deck, he found that many people had gathered here, and his first reaction was to raise his head, because something in the sky seemed particularly bright... something was burning.

It's a battle on the main mast.

The flames burning above reflected the mast like a large torch.

However, at this time, most of the crowd was pointing towards the bottom of the mast. When Mo Fei looked along, his eyes couldn't help but condense - he saw a person who died there, and his death looked a bit miserable.

That man should be the watchman on the ship. He seemed to have accidentally fallen off the watch and died.

Just talking about the fire, it can be said to be an accident, but if someone died during the fire, then things are a little different.

The sea breeze blew the flames burning on the mast to tilt greatly. The expressions of the people standing on the deck faded in and out, and their comments seemed to be absent. Everything seemed very strange.

The captain of the ship was surrounded by sailors. While arranging for people to put out the fire, he shouted to the crowd, "Please go back to the cabin. This is a small accident. The fire will be put out soon... Stay here now." On the deck, if someone fell into the sea in the dark, that would be the worst thing."

Passengers staying on the deck would only add to the chaos. While maintaining order, the captain was secretly glad that the fire was discovered early, otherwise the ship would lose power on the sea if the sails also burned.

The most important thing now is to put out the fire. As for whether this incident was an accident or man-made, we will have to wait until daybreak for any other investigation.

Under the captain's order, the sailors began to drive away the passengers on the deck, and Mo Fei, who was mixed in the crowd, could only follow them to the cabin.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again.

At this time, someone in the crowd whispered, "I seemed to hear something, did you hear it?"

Well, not only did Mo Fei hear a special sound mixed in the sea breeze, she even felt that the sound was somewhat familiar, because it went like this:

Phew~~boom!

The main mast of the sailboat was hit by a shot, and then the flaming upper half of the mast tore apart the sail and folded into the sea. Also falling into the sea were several sailors who were putting out the fire on top. Mo Fei heard their shouts. Screams and screams.

Mo Fei subconsciously turned to the direction where the gunfire came from, and then had to sigh "beautiful" in her heart.

It's not that there's anything praiseworthy about this behavior, but it was a beautiful shot... He couldn't see the shadow of the enemy ship at all, which meant that the ship was at least two hundred meters away from the passenger ship.

Front-mounted smoothbore cannon, bumpy sea, moving target, dark night, two hundred meters, one shot hitting the mast. If you combine these factors, it can only be said that the opponent's gunnery skills are superb and the shooting is very accurate.

Then Mo Fei suddenly realized that the fire just now was not necessarily to burn the sails, but to guide the enemy ship in the direction... No, it was still wrong.

Because if you want to force this ship to stop, the people on this ship can just light the sails... There is no reason to light the hope but not the sails, right?

It's very funny, the other person is obviously just "playing".

After the main mast was broken, the speed of the passenger ship dropped sharply, and then two more shells hit the hull. Although no one was directly hit by the solid shells, some unlucky ones were hit by flying wooden wedges and nails. Then there were another burst of unbearable screams.

At this time, Mo Fei probably understood why so many people hated Roger the Pirate King and the era he created - encountering pirates at sea seemed not to be an accident, but a quite common thing.

Everyone was just eating hot pot and singing songs, and suddenly they were robbed by pirates. Who can explain this?

No, the singer is actually a pirate.

In the night, the shadow of another ship slowly emerged behind the passenger ship.

The pirates' wanton and cheerful singing also reached Mo Fei's ears.
