The cunning Rocks had actually thought about what to do from the very beginning - the opposite naval battleship, which was equipped with 24 32-pound guns, was a heavy firepower fortress at sea, and the only way to keep the distance was to die. The only way to survive was to get close to them and engage in a boarding battle.

As for the sneak bombardment at the beginning, Rocks did place hope on it, but not too much - after all, the power of the 7-pounder gun was not enough in front of a naval battleship. Even if all three guns hit, the thick armor would There will not be much damage to the protected hull.

However, what Rocks did not expect was that the naval warship's counterattack would be so fast. The twelve 32-pound guns launched a bombardment almost the next moment. For a 32-pounder gun shell, the distance of four hundred meters can be reached almost instantly. Although Rocks' instructions were swift and the small-tonnage ship Sea Lion was also very nimble, but——

The splash produced by the shells of the thirty-two-pound cannon is not comparable to that of the seven-pound cannon. Similarly, the stability of the naval battleship is not comparable to that of the small-tonnage Sea Lion - just the splash of the shell falling into the sea , almost overturning the entire Sea Lion.

But this is not the worst: although eleven of the twelve shells fired by the naval warships landed near the Sea Lion, which can be considered a very low hit rate, one still hit the target.

"boom!!"

The Sea Lion's wooden hull, which only uses a small amount of metal, is obviously unable to withstand the power of the solid iron ball of the Navy's standard 32-pound gun, and after the power given by the explosion and expansion of high-quality gunpowder, it is almost impossible to touch the wooden hull. The moment the warship hit the ground, the terrifying power contained in it easily penetrated the hull of the Sea Lion.

The battleship Sea Lion, which Goodwin was usually proud of, was easily penetrated like rotten wood in front of that heavy and terrifying solid iron ball!

Although the Sea Lion avoided being hit by more shells because of the change of direction, this shell penetrated it directly from its right front. From the outer deck to the interior of the cabin, before the power is completely exhausted, the cannonball destroys anything that dares to stand in front of it!

Suddenly, broken wooden boards were scattered everywhere, mixed with the bloody limbs of the sailors. The interior of the cabin was destroyed like paste, leaving only a mess!

"Rocks!!"

Seeing his beloved warship being beaten like this, Goodwin, who fell to the deck due to the explosion just now, roared at Rocks with red eyes.

However, Rocks was more excited than him at this time. His right hand that was holding on to the side of the boat had even grown some saw teeth, which were deeply pierced into the wood.

"If you don't want to feed the sharks in the sea, just ask your sailors to feed me! As long as we get close to them, we will win!"

Hearing Rocks' answer, Goodwin turned his head, spat hard, and shouted: "Young men, get over here at full speed!"

On the naval battleship, the messenger reported to Colonel Malvern, who was observing the Sea Lion with a telescope: "Reporting to Colonel, all the shells have been loaded. Do you want to conduct a second round of firing? Please give instructions!"

Colonel Malvern had just seen the situation on the Sea Lion clearly through the telescope, and couldn't help but smile sarcastically. In his opinion, the Sea Lion, which was heading straight towards them, clearly wanted to engage in a boarding battle. It was undoubtedly a waste of resources and seeking death. And it can be considered as his wish - only the side battle can give his recruits enough training.

Colonel Malvern waved his hand to the messenger: "Pass my order, stop the bombardment and let those guys come over!"

"yes!"

….

A small-tonnage ship like the Sea Lion is extremely fast, and the sailors were almost desperately maneuvering it. Therefore, within a short time, the Sea Lion had rushed to the battleship Porusalino and the others were on.

Porusalino could already clearly see the grinning pirates on the Sea Lion, but he was a little confused.

"Is there so many people in this Sea Lion Pirate Group? How do I remember that in the information Colonel Malvern gave us, this pirate group is a small pirate group?"

"It's really weird."

Sakaski also frowned and nodded, "It doesn't make sense that such a small-scale pirate group would take the initiative to launch a sneak attack on a navy warship... Moreover, these pirates are also very strange, it feels like …Two groups.”

Porusalino also noticed what Sakaski said, but the two of them had no time to think about it - the boarding battle had already begun.

"You guys! Kill me!!"

Locks finally couldn't wait to issue the order.

"Oooo!!!"

Like the ferocious but experienced Rocks, some of his subordinates are not only cruel in character, but also quite proficient in business skills. Whether it was plundering or attacking merchant ships in the past, or now joining forces with naval ships, their movements were crisp and agile. Many people didn't even have time to stand firmly on the deck of the naval battleship before they rushed forward with a sinister smile!

The pirates of the Sea Lion Pirates are obviously more capable than the pirates of the Rocks Pirates, but they also know that if they want to survive, fighting with the navy in front of them is the only way. So after a moment's hesitation, these pirates also grabbed their weapons and jumped over to the navy ship.

Although most of the soldiers in the Navy are new recruits without any actual combat experience. But under the leadership of their respective combat team leaders, and with enthusiasm, they bravely rushed forward and started fighting with the pirates.

The sound of gunshots, the clash of swords, screams and roars...for a moment, there was chaos on the deck.

Sakaski's eyes quickly swept over the attacking pirates, and soon found his target - "Swiss Knife" Moulton, who had a bounty of 7 million Baileys.

It was a man with a black beard. He chopped down a sailor in front of him with an unparalleled bravery. Then he picked up the corpse as a shield and rushed to the other sailor who shot at him at an incredible speed. He took out the scimitar from his waist and stabbed the sailor directly in the chest. The tip of the knife poked out from the latter's back, stirred twice inside, and blood spurted out, splattering all over his body.

This kind of action combined with the wild smile on his face was like a demon from hell. Several nearby recruits who witnessed this scene immediately lost the courage to take action, turned around and fled backwards.

Just as Sakaski was sizing him up, Moulton also noticed Sakaski. Sakaski's huge size of nearly three meters and his ferocious expression did not scare him, but made him even more excited. He picked up the knife and rushed straight towards Sakaski!

"Kuawa Yinnei..."

Porusalino sighed in admiration when he saw this scene.

"Tall guy over there! You use a knife too!"

Suddenly, a pirate shouted to Porusalino. He was a rather handsome pirate, and his clothes were much more luxurious than those of ordinary people.

"Your opponent is me."

Eddie, the son of a rebellious businessman, said proudly. He was very confident in his swordsmanship. Before he ran away from home to become a pirate, he used his family connections to visit many famous swordsmen. Through previous training and subsequent actual combat, he believed that his sword would not lose to anyone. Although the tall sailor in front of him has a strong aura at first glance, he will never be his opponent - and it is estimated that when he kills him, he will be offered a bounty by the navy and become a real bounty criminal.

Eddie arrogantly began to introduce himself: "I studied under..."

Porusalino ignored Eddie's talking to himself. He looked at the naval standard long knife in his hand, then glanced at Eddie from the corner of his eye, and then quickly drew out the short musket from his waist, without hesitation. He hesitated and pulled the trigger.

boom!

"The Ashina swordsmanship I practice is the best in the world. Do you need to know more about it?"

ps: Ashina swordsmanship, invincible swordsmanship! (laugh)
