The southeast wind was blowing at the moment, and the force of the wind was level six.
Tang Ge stood on the bow of the boat. He held the statue of the Goddess of Wind and blew three breaths at it. The statue itself did not react, but a strong wind soon blew around it. The sails swelled, and the Black Pearl's speed increased significantly. Tongo's hair was messed up by the wind. He glanced at the end of the rope tied to the rope. The end of the rope had turned from southeast to due south!
"Good stuff." Tang Ge couldn't help but kiss the statue of the goddess. Fortunately, this action didn't attract the wrath of heaven.
Due to the positive south wind, the Black Pearl quickly overtook the Lucky. Three hours later, the Black Pearl had already left the Lucky far behind. Tang Ge did not want the distance between the two ships to be too far apart, so he ordered the sailors to retract some of the sails and reduce the speed of the ship.
Tongo realized that after using the Goddess Statue, only the ship he was on could be buffed by the wind. Even if the Lucky sailed side by side, it would not be able to borrow any wind.
In the following days, Tongo would use the statue of the Goddess of Wind once a day. This way, the Black Pearl became even faster. He moved most of the cargo on Lucky onto the Black Pearl to reduce the burden on Lucky. This way, the two ships could still sail at a relatively equal speed.
Recently, Hua Lu had been making an animal tooth necklace and was only halfway done. The necklace caught Tang Ge's eye, and Floral said that she would give it to Tang Ge after she was done.
This day seemed to have been foretold. The sky was overcast and it started to drizzle in the morning. The surface of the sea was also pitch-black, and the two ships seemed to be sailing in shaking ink cans.
Flower Dew was on duty. She held the binoculars and looked around. After slowly circling around, she turned around to see if the Lucky was okay. She would repeat this process every day and was used to everything being normal. But today, she was surprised to see the Lucky waving flag signals.
Hua Lu had already learned a part of the simple flag signal. She realized that the flag signal that the other party sent out was: It was dangerous!
"Captain! Something happened to the Lucky!" Hua Lu's expression changed as she shouted.
Tang Ge had been drinking wine in the captain's cabin. After hearing the sailor's report, his face darkened and he hurriedly left the room. He climbed up the rope ladder to the observation deck of the mast and snatched the telescope from the flower dew. He looked at the Lucky, but the lens was foggy.
He wiped away the raindrops on the lens and saw the Lucky clearly. The other party was sending out a flag signal to indicate danger.
The Lucky had more than a dozen cannons on board, and with One-eye, the sharpshooter, they wouldn't have to worry even if they ran into a normal sea monster. However, the flag signal that they had sent out proved that they had run into a very difficult problem.
"Give me the signal flag!" shouted Tongo hastily. Hurry up!"
The sailors on the ship became nervous. Someone immediately went to take out a set of signal flags. These sailors were all sailing rookies and none of them knew how to use a signal flag, so Tongo could only do it himself.
"Help me see what the other side is saying. I'll signal them over here.”Tang Ge said anxiously to the flower dew. The two of them squeezed on the watchtower, letting the wind and rain hit them.
"But, but there are still many flag signals that I don't know!”Tears welled up in her eyes.
"There are no more buts. Even if you can't, you have to!”
Tongo stuffed the binoculars into the Floral Dew, then picked up two small flags of different colors and sent out a signal of " rendezvous ", meaning that the Black Pearl would go back to help Lucky.
Hua Lu was so nervous that she even remembered the flag signal that she had only heard once or twice in the past. It was as if she had an idea in a hurry.
"They are saying that they have encountered a strong enemy!" Flower Dew shouted and stared at the opposite ship.
In order to verify this guess, Tang Ge sent out a " pirate " flag signal.
"They answered 'yes', and added the number' six'. I don't know what it means.”Hua Lu shouted.
The two pirate crews had just met. These days, the Black Toad Pirates had been searching for Tang Ge's whereabouts and chasing after him according to the scattered information they had obtained. Because Tang Ge had stayed on Starfish Island for a few days, the Black Toad Pirates had finally caught up.
The Black Toad Pirate Team was aggressive. This time, they were determined to kill Tang Ge and avenge themselves.
One-eyed knew the strength of the Black Toad very well. Putting aside the other ships, even the Purgatory alone was enough to destroy the Evil Dragon Pirate Team.
Originally, there was no suspense in this battle, but One-eye thought of Tongo's special ability. Perhaps Tongo could use his powerful strength to turn the tables like last time.
With this glimmer of hope, One-eye changed his flag signal.
Could he win?
Flower Dew told Tang Ge about Lucky's question. Tang Ge gritted his teeth and remained silent. Although he had the Sea Vortex Mad Fish Ring and his Pirate King System, he did not have any confidence in facing six ships.
The Sea Vortex Mad Fish Ring could still be used twice. Even if they were lucky enough to destroy three ships, the other party would still have three ships left. At that time, they would still be at a disadvantage if they fought two against three. Although Tongo still had some reward points, the amount of heat he could use was very limited.
Moreover, the difference between six ships and two ships was not only in terms of numbers, but also in terms of firepower and personnel!
If the 3rd Captain of the Black Toad Pirate Team had the strength of a 2nd rank, then what was Harold's strength? Even if a true expert charged into the Black Pearl alone, Tang Ge would find it hard to resist.
If they fought head-on, Tang Ge only had a 20% chance of winning.
Helplessly, Tongo sent out the "escape" flag signal.
The Lucky was silent for a while, as if it had made up its mind. Then, it sent out the flag signal," I'll bring up the rear."
The previous naval battle had left a deep shadow in Hua Lu's heart. When she recalled that scene, she still felt a lingering fear.
Tang Ge was not in the mood to answer Flower Dew. He snatched Flower Dew's binoculars and looked at Lucky. The other party was no longer using flag signals. Behind the Lucky, there was a ship chasing after them. The two of them would soon be within range.
As long as one ship held Lucky back, the larger ships behind would catch up and surround Lucky. Perhaps the black toad would choose to send the Lucky to the bottom of the sea instead of engaging in a boarding battle.
On the Lucky, One-eyed climbed down the mast with a stern expression. In his pirate life, he had made another gamble with his life. He was betting that Tang Ge would fulfill his promise and destroy the Black Toad Pirates in the future. What he needed to do now was to delay the Black Toad's fleet.
"Turn the sails 25 degrees southeast! In addition, throw away everything on the ship except weapons, including food and water!”One-eyed shouted from the Lucky as he brushed past the pirates.
The raindrops became denser, wetting everyone on the deck. Everyone looked nervous and even a little afraid.
"Captain Tongo will come and save us, right?”The pirate who spoke had once seen Tongo summon a vortex. He was filled with awe and worship for Tongo.
One-eyed did not answer the pirate. Instead, he pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger at the sky."Those who disturb the hearts of the people will be shot, those who neglect orders will be shot, and those who are timid will be shot! Now, turn the sails!"
Seeing how calm One-eye was, the pirates also calmed down and changed course according to the order. One-eyed did this to lure the Black Toad's fleet away and buy time for the Black Pearl to escape.
One-eye held the long fire gun and muttered coldly,"Hawkeye, if you are a man, you should stand up and fight me!”
Seeing the Lucky turn around, Tongo understood One-eye's decision. If One-eye went, he would definitely die. He felt particularly upset. One-eyed got along well with him and was a good brother.
In the distance, a row of cannon muzzles were flashing with fire, and rumbling sounds could be heard!
