In the bright sunshine, several seagulls flapped their wings and flew across the rippling sea. Their whiteness and the blue sea formed a harmonious picture. The next second, this peaceful beauty was broken by a slowly sailing three-masted sailing ship. This three-masted sailing ship is made of wood, about 20 meters long, with a slender hull and a ram on the bow. It is a fast ship. There is only one kind of person who can use this kind of ship, pirates! Although this kind of fast ship has limited carrying capacity, its speed is outstanding, which is very suitable for chasing those merchant ships full of cargo. But the ship in front of us looks a little dilapidated. The sea breeze gently blows the black sail, which is covered with dense holes, each as thick as a finger, which is obviously the traces left by lead bullets. This pirate ship sailed on the sea at a very slow speed, the hull was covered with scars, and the whole ship creaked and creaked, as if it would fall apart at any time. "Captain, how long will it take us to return?"
A pirate was lying on the uneven deck, looking eagerly at the captain who was studying the sea chart. This group of pirates originally arrived at the Grand Line for the great treasure of the Pirate King, but they did not expect that the difficulties of the Grand Line were far beyond their imagination. The unpredictable sea breeze was just one of them. What shocked them even more was that the strength of both the pirate gangs and the navy fleets they encountered was far beyond the four seas. Every battle was a life-and-death contest, which made this group of pirates deeply experience the cruelty of the Grand Line. This weathered pirate ship was the Kara Pirates who broke into the Grand Line from the West Sea. In the West Sea, the Kara Pirates were famous and could be called the overlord. They were almost invincible there, and few opponents could compete with them. Such a record made the Kara Pirates extremely confident. They thought that the navy was nothing more than that, and the throne of the Pirate King belonged to them. So the group moved forward to the Grand Line with confidence. After passing through the Upside-Down Mountain, they truly experienced the cruelty of the Grand Line. When the Kara Pirates arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago after untold hardships, the once huge fleet had withered. Only three of the ten three-masted sailing ships were left tottering in the waves, witnessing their tragic experience on the Grand Line. After arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago, the Kara Pirates witnessed the terrifying power of the supernovas. The terrifying power of those strong men shocked them deeply. After careful consideration, the Kara Pirates decided to abandon the plan to go to the New World and choose to return to the familiar West Sea. But fate did not seem to favor them. On the way back, they unfortunately encountered Gekko Moriah, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. After losing the lives of two ships, Kara led the remaining men to escape the pursuit of the terrifying three-masted ship with difficulty. Now, a month has passed since they escaped from the terrifying three-masted ship. The supplies on the ship have long been exhausted, and hunger and fatigue have enveloped the entire pirate group.
Everyone has not eaten for a whole day, and everyone's face is full of fatigue and helplessness. "Stop talking nonsense, we will reach the next destination soon, and we will just grab some things when the time comes." Kara kicked the crew lying on the floor impatiently, but the other party was exhausted at the moment and couldn't get up from the ground at all. Looking at the crew who were as weak as dead fish, Kara sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to turn around and return to the captain's room, his peripheral vision caught something strange in the distance. Kara quickly took out a telescope and looked eagerly at the distant horizon. A cargo ship with black smoke slowly came into his sight. The reason why Kara could recognize this as a cargo ship at a glance was due to his rich experience in robbery. Countless times of robbing merchant ships made him familiar with all kinds of ships, and he could tell the type of the opposite ship at a glance. "Damn it! Get up! There's work to do!" Kara walked quickly to the deck on the second floor of the cabin and quickly took out the flintlock hanging from his waist. With a deafening gunshot, the pirates who were lying dead on the entire deck woke up. "What's wrong? What happened?" Several pirates were still sleeping just now, and were awakened from their dreams by Kara's gunshots, and asked blankly. "I don't know, but it sounds like a mission." A pirate quickly climbed up from the deck and killed a louse on his body. In the lives of pirates, hygiene is not the primary consideration, and these rough men don't dislike each other. "A merchant ship appeared 30 degrees to the right front. Those who want to eat, take out your stuff, we will rush up later, and take whatever you want to eat!" Kara knew that what the crew needed most now was food and water, not gold and silver treasures. Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the crew members' eyes sparkled, and their originally listless state instantly disappeared. Instead, they showed ferocious smiles on their faces, which, combined with the scars on their faces, were enough to stop a child from crying. This group of pirates was already impatient to start a new plunder. "Captain Doruton, a ship is approaching us rapidly!" The messenger rushed to Doruton and handed him the telescope, with a hint of nervousness in his tone. In this sea full of unknowns and dangers, every ship is equipped with observers. Their duty is to stay alert at all times and detect potential threats on the sea in time. Pirates are commonplace in this sea area. Once they are neglected, the consequences will be disastrous. Doruton took the telescope and quickly scanned the horizon. Sure enough, on the sea in the distance, a ship was heading towards them at an alarming speed. From the telescope, you can clearly see that the sails on the ship are full, and it is obviously moving at full speed. "What ship is it?" As the actual controller of the Sakura Kingdom of Magnetic Drum Island, Doruton knows the horror of the power of the strong on the Grand Line. Although he is the ability user of the Devil Fruit Niu Niu Fruit, he may not be able to withstand even a knife when facing those truly top strong men.
The words of the observer made him feel even more depressed: "It should be a pirate ship. The other party uses a three-masted clipper. The surface of the ship is tattered and it seems that it has not been repaired in time." Hearing the word "pirate", Doruton's face instantly became gloomy. They had come out to trade with other countries and had a smooth journey, but they did not expect to be targeted by pirates when they were about to return home. "Sound the alarm, let all personnel prepare for battle, the gunners start checking the gunpowder and prepare for boarding battle." Dorton gave the order slowly, and the messenger moved upon hearing the order, quickly came to the deck and rang a small bell. The alarm bell rang for a long time, and all the sailors on the ship stopped their work. Everyone knew the meaning of the bell - the whole ship was on alert, and pirates were approaching. Three minutes later, the sailors dressed in leather armor filed out of the cabin and quickly lined up on the deck.
