We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 54 Pirates! Pirates! (Please recommend! Please add to your favorites!)
clang!clang!clang!
A sharp, piercing alarm bell rang on the Giant.

Many sailors rushed onto the deck with their weapons.

"Captain, pirate ships have been spotted in the northeast and southwest directions!"

The sailors on the lookout tower cried out in alarm.

At the bow, Captain Reina's face was grave.

Through her telescope, she could see that the pirate ship to the northeast had a uniquely styled sail with a shark depicted with its jaws wide open.

The pirate ship, the Furious Shark!
This is a pirate ship whose reputation is no less than that of the Blood Wolf.

The captain's bounty has soared to 500 silver snake coins due to the recent raid!
However, what surprised Lena even more was...

To the southwest, a much larger three-masted sailing ship was slowly approaching.

Because of the distance, Lena couldn't see the sail markings on the ship.

But judging from size alone, this pirate crew is definitely larger than the [Furious Shark]!
"Damn it! Why are all these pirates coming in droves?"

Lena cursed under her breath, her heart heavy.

Although pirates have always roamed the waters of Coral City, it is extremely rare to see two ships collide in one go.

If we were to fall into their encirclement...

Lena bit her lip, forcing herself to calm down.

She is the captain of the Giant!

If she panics, who will the sailors on the ship rely on?

With this in mind, Lena's gaze hardened, and she gave the order in a dignified voice.

"Everyone, return to your positions!"

"I'll take the helm. The sailman, raise the top sail. The lookout, keep reporting the situation. Keep full speed on!"

Just as all the crew members of the Giant were getting moving, Lena saw that there was also movement on the Black Swan, and the young and handsome captain went up to the deck.

In fact, after sounding the alarm, Lena deliberately maneuvered the Giant closer to the Black Swan.

This was to warn them that the pirates were coming.

"Captain Lena, thank you."

On the deck, Shane waved to Lena in thanks.

He could certainly see Lena's goodwill.

This detail alone shows that the female captain is indeed a good person and worth befriending.

"Captain Shane, the situation is urgent, so we'll be leaving now. You should also get out of this area as soon as possible!"

After leaving those words, Lena immediately sped away at full speed.

As the Giant's silhouette receded into the distance, Shane remained calm and composed on the deck, as if waiting for something.

Soon, Joey and Ann arrived on the deck.

Looking at the pirate ship that was hurtling towards them like a sharp knife, Joey asked nervously, "Captain, what do we do now?"

"Should we escape with the Giant?"

"No, we'll just wait here."

Xia En spoke calmly.

He has already used up his number of dives for today, so he cannot replicate "Deepsea Ghost's" ship-scraping operation as he did last time.

Looking at the impressive panel and numbers before him, Xia En smiled.

"They're the ones who should be running away!"

He is no longer the novice captain who had to hide and evade the Blood Wolf.

Perfect timing! Shane also wanted to test just how much of a surprise the Black Swan's current performance could bring him.

……

……

On the deck of the "Angry Shark".

"Mad Shark" Baroque stood at the bow of the ship, his upper body bare, his merman-like bluish-black skin exposed to the air, covered with countless scars.

The prominent dorsal fin is flanked by large, sharply defined muscles, giving it a rather imposing appearance.

The other pirates looked at him with awe and fear.

"That's the Black Swan?"

Baroque glanced at the ships in the distance and sneered, "Are they stupidly standing still? Have they been scared out of their wits?"

"If Blood Wolf Hansen could be defeated by a captain like that, it seems he's a worthless piece of trash who doesn't live up to his reputation!"

The other pirates joined in the laughter, shouting and yelling.

"Haha, Captain Baroque is the strongest!"

"Black Swan, Blood Wolf, they're all rotten fish and shrimp!"

"Kill them all!!!"

The first mate of the "Angry Shark" was a seemingly frail navigator.

Amidst the surrounding noise, he remained calm and spoke up to remind the captain, "Captain, don't underestimate this man."

"He made a move on Duke Island, so he should indeed be a first-tier Mystic."

Baroque smiled confidently: "So what?"

"I will win!"

Unlike Hansen, Baroque is a true esoteric seeker, and his profession is [Swordsman/Axeman].

The greatsword in his hand had killed several secret cultivators.

It can be said that his strength far surpasses that of Blood Wolf Hansen.

However, Baroque lacked Duke Nova's Crimson Emblem, thus its movements in the surrounding waters were restricted, making it far less free and unrestrained than the Blood Wolf.

This time, after hearing from another pirate captain that the Black Swan had the Scarlet Emblem, Baroque immediately rushed over, wanting to obtain proof of this identity.

"Captain, it's better to be safe than sorry."

The first mate frowned and tried to persuade him, "The captain of the Black Mountain deliberately told you this news; I don't think he had any good intentions."

"Isn't he still observing from the southwest?"

Upon hearing the name "Black Mountain," Baroque curled his lip in displeasure: "Enough, I've made up my mind. You don't need to try to persuade me anymore."

Seeing this, the first mate sighed and said nothing more.

Then, Baroque gazed greedily toward the Black Swan, preparing to launch a final sprint.

"The Crimson Emblem, I shall accept it!"

But the next moment.

He blinked in confusion.

Because the Black Swan, which had been stationary, suddenly disappeared.

Baroque glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the ship had somehow moved in the other direction from the [Angry Shark].

Moreover, it was like a war chariot, rushing towards them with great force.

On that ship, the sails were billowing high, the taut cables vibrated in the air, and the roar of the steam turbines echoed across the sea.

On both sides of the ship, layers upon layers of waves surged forth as if pushing the ship forward!
The ship's speed left all the crew members on board the [Angry Shark] speechless!
This speed is simply unattainable by any two-masted sailing ship.

In a daze, Baroque had a strange illusion.

It's as if... this ship is alive!
The sound echoing across the sea was like a proud and unyielding black swan, raising its proud neck and uttering its own cry!
