Chapter 1287.1: Why are we so unlucky
The four large ships under Pika's command quickly lined up in a row.
In less than half a minute, four large ships began to approach them from the starboard side.
These ships belonged to the Beasts.
After gathering together, the eight ships established communication with each other with the help of Deng Deng Musi and began to move forward.
There were seven ships half a mile away. They belonged to the Big Mama Pirates. These ships were brightly painted and most of the cabins on these ships were cake-shaped. What was even more strange was that on the prows of these ships, there were candy faces that could speak and had consciousness.
They were created by the power of Charlotte Linlin's Devil Fruit.
The two sides formed the right formation in a matter of moments and quickly began to converge on each other.
Judging by the speed, the battle will start in less than five minutes.
Although it was Su Xiao's first time taking part in a sea battle, shouldn't the ships be firing at each other while trying to get close?
Just as he was thinking about it, there were a few muffled pops in the distance and with a sharp whoosh, three projectiles started flying towards them.
Looking closely, Su Xiao saw three dark cannonballs. The speed of these three cores wasn't very fast.
They flew in an arc over the ships and fell into the water..
Because of this, he finally understood why both sides didn't try to fire at each other. Given the accuracy, trying to fire at the enemy from such a distance was a waste of projectiles.
Both sides understood this, so they only closed the distance quickly.
Two minutes later, the two sides were separated by about 100 meters.
On the ship that Su Xiao was on, with the exception of the riflemen, all the pirates had already gathered on the deck and prepared for battle.
The leader of this ship was in front of everyone.
— The boss has high hopes for us!..
After hearing the first words of the leader of this ship, Su Xiao knew that he wanted to encourage his subordinates before the battle.
The boarding battle was very fierce, so he had to do everything in his power to improve his chances of winning.
I had to admit that this guy had a lot of eloquence. He was at least able to wake up every pirate. As for how many of them would fight with all their might, the answer was obvious — each of them would do their best to win.
As for this ship's boss ' speech, it was only meant to boost the morale of these pirates.
Everyone knew the specifics of a naval battle. It was impossible to escape from such a battlefield. The sea was everywhere one's eyes fell. Where can they escape to? They could either lose and become the slaves of their opponent, or they could win and capture the opponent, they had no other choice.
*Roar!*
The pirates roared angrily, but at that moment, a cannonball landed on the ship from the sky.
*Boom!*
The ship tilted slightly. The flames filled half the deck, then began to flare up quickly.
When the flames dispersed, everyone saw a large hole in the deck and a large amount of blood around it.
Severed limbs and minced meat were scattered around the hole.
The ship was quickly filled with the pungent smell of blood.
The pirates who had previously roared at the top of their lungs and were ready to rush into battle started to carefully get up from the floor, after which they looked at the enemy ship in the distance in confusion.
Some of them had blood and bits of meat on their faces.
Cheers came from the enemy ship. The enemy clearly didn't expect this shot to be so successful.
With just one lucky shot, at least a dozen pirates from the Quixote family were killed.
But just as they were enjoying their good fortune, a cannonball landed on their ship, which immediately made them shut up.
The cheers quickly turned to screams of pain.
As the two sides closed the distance to 80 meters, the two small fleets began to slow down.
At this distance, the attacks were not very effective, of course, but at least the chances of causing significant damage to the enemy increased noticeably.
Both sides started firing at each other randomly.
The roar of the cannons never ceased. Su Xiao, on the other hand, was sitting quietly by the side of the ship. Although the cannonballs wouldn't be able to harm him, spending energy blocking the cannonballs wasn't a very sensible decision.
There was a sudden explosion nearby and sawdust flew everywhere.
Su Xiao looked at the source of the sound and immediately knew that something had gone wrong.
About ten meters away from Su Xiao, the ship's mast, which was almost a meter thick, was slowly falling on its side, and the sail of this mast was actively burning.
It was the mast of the main ship, and Pica himself was on it.
Since the main mast of the ship was broken, it meant only one thing-his ship lost all its speed. Yes, he could order his men to start rowing with their oars, but ... in such an active sea battle, how would anyone let their opponent row safely?
