Night came.

The alternation of day and night is over, the sunset sinks into the farthest deep sea, and there is only a line of fire clouds.

The west left only a faint orange shadow. On the contrary, it was the battlefield in the south, where the fire flourished and half the sky was dyed bright red by smoke.

Varkiri broke into the southern theater in the 23rd minute after the collision. On his way, the average speed reached 12 knots and the actual mileage exceeded 8 kilometers.

Considering that the ship's behavior is the most unobtrusive visual embodiment of the captain's thought, Lorraine probably really wanted to help Bellamy this time, but it's a pity that even if he was in a hurry, he still couldn't catch up with the dinner.

Rumba forcibly boarded the Shanghai Della and achieved a small foothold, so he couldn't wait to send a signal to the Vida.

The pirates left behind by the black Prince began to retreat orderly from the Vida to the hydra. Bellamy, who had to be supported to walk, was the first, and Bastian, who regarded the pig outburst as a fool from his heart, was the last.

At the moment when his feet boarded the board, Bastian turned back and gently lifted and threw it high at a fire spot on the side of the ship with a grease soaked torch.

This is what the Pirates of the lemon shark who took great pains to win the ship's side saw. A brightly burning torch swirled in mid air and accurately poked into a powder keg placed in the center of the deck and opened the top cover in advance.

Martyrdom explosion

Man made detonations.

The huge explosion started from the midpoint of the Vida deck, and more than 200 solid shells and the same amount of shrapnel and chain bullets swept around indiscriminately. While sweeping the Vida into holes, it also reaped the lives of most of the living people on the Vida and lemon shark deck like a wild wind.

Brig's altitude difference made her a shelter for the explosion. Only more than 20 people were injured by falling fragments, including black Prince regiment and hound regiment.

Lorraine witnessed the whole process of this scene, and valkiri turned at the same time, turning the course from the planned port side of the lemon shark to the starboard side of the hydra.

"Lower the sail! Lower the anchor!"

"Captain's order, all side shotguns, push guns and load!"

"Idle personnel shall immediately go to the ordnance cabin to collect guns and assemble on the deck! Reiterate the combat readiness level. Level I is ready for war. They are allowed to shoot hostile targets freely and shoot hostile targets freely!"

"Semaphores and lights are ready for synchronous transmission!"

"HMM."

Lorraine cleared his throat, took the tin horn from edley's hand and aimed it at the deck of the hydra, which was as stiff as a live drama.

"Listen to the pirates opposite. This is the world police... The armed merchant ship valkiri, the general flagship of the fleet directly under the Drake chamber of Commerce."

"With the authorization of the great and just kingdom of Great Britain, I command you to lay down your arms and stop fighting."

"My king is accomplished. Where the sun shines, the royal power is given to order! Those who trample on the Kingdom's order are sin, those who sin but do not stop are enemies, and those who are enemies of the kingdom are killed!"

When the routine was over, Lorraine lazily dropped the horn and sighed heartily, "it's disgusting."

Katrina couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Captain, why bother?"

"Because it's troublesome to distinguish the ownership of pirates. I'm here to help this time. I can't make a pot of them."

"But it's too much to preach the authority of Great Britain on the high seas..."

"Even on the Thames, British authority is given by cannons." Lorraine deflated. "Pirates and warriors are two different things. I believe they are good and obedient people."

……

As Lorraine expected, every pirate is a kind and obedient people, especially when they are pointed at by a 32 pound gun.

The battle of the Hydra calmed down in three breaths. Bellamy occupied all the main deck and half the bow hold, and the original owner of Hydra occupied the whole stern hold and all the lower hold. The two sides lined up to surrender on this boundary.

Leff took five people to swing the side and commanded the pirates to cut off the rope entangled between Hydra and the three fire ships. Bellamy and the captain of hydra were transferred to the restaurant and sent to Lorraine.

The restaurant was brightly lit, and Lorraine looked at his guests with her head tilted.

The captain of the Hydra was Baudelaire. Lorraine remembered that he was a senior cadre of hound Henry, the staff officer and captain of the second team of the pirate regiment, and the pirate was called "Chihuahua".

He really lives up to the reputation of Chihuahua. He has a short, thin body and a fierce face. The most impressive thing is the super big mouth on his face, which can almost grin to his cheeks. His fangs are dirty, dirty and sharp.

Compared with him, Bellamy looked much more miserable, pale, dry skin, half of his head was wrapped in dark brown bandages, protruding from his left eye and exuding crimson blood.

He was too weak to walk. Whether he was sent off the ship, hung on the deck or walked into the restaurant, he was supported by a cold man.

The man called himself Bastian, the "wave controller" Bastian, the helmsman of the Vida, and one of the four most outstanding members of the black Prince pirate regiment.

Lorraine looked at Bellamy strangely: "to be honest, from the impression of the last meeting, I thought you were a more rational person."

"It's normal to look out of sight," Bellamy smiled weakly. "I didn't expect you to have a nosy temper."

"This is the reward." Lorraine did not intend to hide, "your grandfather gave me information on the condition that he would help you when he saw you."

"Nassau?"

"I just came out of there."

"No wonder..."

Bellamy probably realized it. Anyway, she only made a small part of her expression, which was twisted into a ball because of the pain caused by the wound.

"My grandfather is a pirate, a big pirate. When he was young, he became a candidate for the pirate king, but he gave up on his own initiative, quit the competition and saved his life."

Lorraine raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't expect Bellamy to suddenly start remembering at this time.

"He quit because of his family. He has a secret home in Madero, a wife, a son, hundreds of acres of land and some slaves."

"He plays an ordinary marine businessman there. He is not at home for most of the year, but as long as he knows him, no one is fascinated by his good character."

"He trained his son into an excellent man, passed the military academy and became a naval officer."

"Thirty three years ago, when I was three years old, my father, the captain of a brig, accidentally found his grandfather's identity during a patrol, and then... Can you guess the follow-up?"

Lorraine frowned and shook his head.

"At that time, grandpa had been in the Gulf of Mexico for more than ten years and was well-known in the Spanish Navy. Maybe his father was based on a sense of justice or took a fancy to merit. Anyway, he didn't hesitate to report the matter to his officer and won the task of presiding over the encirclement and suppression fleet."

"In that war, he set up an encirclement on the channel by using the return time reported by grandpa to his family. Grandpa did the same thing as I did just now. He rushed into the encirclement net, sacrificed a ship and gathered the whole ship to seize the farthest ship."

"That ship is my father's ship."

Bellamy slowly breathed out: "my father died, my grandfather fled, the family property was confiscated by my father's officer in the name of stolen goods, and my grandmother died in the manor with grief and anger. My mother raised me by selling my body until I finished my mother's funeral and went to sea alone, and my grandfather didn't contact us."

"So in my heart, the Navy and pirates are untrustworthy bastards, as are the privateers among them."

Bellamy grinned and showed a happy expression on her face: "white flag, I left an order for Rumba before leaving. The hydra is our booty. If the negotiation fails, he will act as the new captain to kill your representative and seize the ship to escape."

"Now, please tell me, will you fire?"
