Chapter 36
This is the 25th day of wandering in the Four Seasons Island sea area.
The morale of the recruits on the training ship is very low because they have been unable to find any traces of the Hunting Knife Pirates, and even the Navy intelligence department has not sent any news.
If it weren't for the great victory in Spring Rain Town at the beginning, I'm afraid the morale of these recruits would be even worse.
Although very helpless, this is the norm for Navy missions. The sea is vast, and finding a pirate crew can be simple or difficult.
Zefa can only encourage and comfort them in this situation. Although he is also anxious, his many years of Navy career have long made him accustomed to this process, but the recruits in the training camp are not. Veterans like Karl are rare.
Others are in low spirits and have nothing to do, but Karl is incredibly happy.
Neither meeting Weevil nor having a pleasant time slacking off, this is simply the Navy life he has dreamed of for a long time. It would be even more perfect if there were a beauty to accompany him.
After twenty days of accumulation, Karl has successfully pushed his physique from C-level to C+, and his Navy Six Styles related skills have been mastered to perfection.
Simply put, what Lucci knows, he knows, and what Lucci doesn't know, he also knows. Even compared to Zefa, he doesn't fall behind much. The only difference is the force, that's all.
"Hoo~ Big Brother Karl, how are you so happy every day? Clearly, our internship mission is almost impossible to complete!"
Ain looked at Karl, who was leisurely fishing on the railing, and complained helplessly, feeling incredibly depressed inside.
They originally wanted to show off their skills during the internship period, not scrub the deck and maintain the ship every day, but Karl is an exception.
No, he seems to have always been like this.
"Hahaha, Ain, you haven't been in the Navy long, so you don't understand. This situation is the norm for the Navy!"
"Except for special missions, the most important thing in capturing pirates is intelligence. Without intelligence, you can only rely on luck."
Ain pouted in distress and sat down next to Karl, looking at the blue sea.
"Sigh! I really envy your mentality!"
"Hehe, you'll get used to it, you'll get used to it! Wait, there's a fish!"
Karl hurriedly lifted the fishing rod, and a half-meter-long sea fish fell onto the deck, flopping around. Ain's eyes lit up.
She hurriedly rushed up to grab the fish and handed it to Karl, but in the process, the fish kept shrinking, and by the time it reached Karl's hand, it had already become a small fry.
Looking at Karl's stiff, handsome face, Ain covered her mouth and giggled, seemingly very happy to have pranked Karl.
"12 o'clock direction, situation at 10 nautical miles! It's a pirate ship!"
A loud shout came from the lookout tower. All the recruits were stunned for a moment, then their spirits were shaken. Finally, there's work to do!
Ain's expression straightened, and she quickly said to Karl: "Big Brother Karl, stop fishing, the pirates are here!"
In the distance, a pirate ship was sailing rapidly on the sea, and the ship was in chaos.
"Damn it, this group of Navy is like a persistent ghost! Little ones, pass my order, full speed ahead, don't worry about that damn Navy!"
The person speaking was none other than the captain of the Hunting Knife Pirates, Zaker, with a bounty of 24.5 million Berries. He was originally a bounty hunter, later changed his profession to become a pirate, and became famous for his superb swordsmanship.
"Captain, it's bad, this group of Navy is chasing us! Our ship is not as fast as theirs!"
Zaker's eyebrows twisted into a knot, and finally, he made up his mind, raised the sword at his waist high, and roared loudly.
"Since the Navy is chasing us relentlessly, it's useless for us to run anymore. We are the Hunting Knife Pirates! Little ones, fire the cannons!"
"Oh oh oh oh!" "Kill the Navy!"
On the training ship, Zefa slowly lowered his binoculars, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"Given up running? Hmph! Overestimating your abilities."
"Karl!"
"Here!"
Zefa turned his head to look at Karl, who was wearing a white military uniform, and said in a deep voice: "You are still the combat commander this time, don't let me down."
"Yes, Master Zefa!"
Karl's expression straightened, and he found that these recruits' eyes were full of expectation... and longing. Karl sighed helplessly, perhaps this is what being a nanny is like!
"May the Holy Light bless you!"
The recruits couldn't help but close their eyes, feeling the power and vigorous vitality surging in their bodies, and let out a roar in unison: "The Navy will win!"
"Everyone, full speed ahead, gunners immediately adjust the artillery position, wait for my order!"
"Yes!"
The training ship immediately accelerated, speeding toward the pirate crew. Several bombs that were ridiculously off-target fell in the distance from the training ship, splashing water.
"Pirates are pirates after all! Firing cannons impatiently at this distance, how could they possibly hit!"
Karl looked at the chaotic scene on the pirate ship through binoculars and laughed dumbly, quietly waiting for the pirate ship to enter their strike range.
"Gunners ready... fire!"
Bang bang bang~
The cannons fired in unison, and the black cannonballs flew toward the pirate ship with a shrill sound like a death prayer. Although several still fell into the sea, more cannonballs exploded on the pirate ship.
Several holes suddenly appeared on the pirate ship, and debris from the hull scattered on the sea surface.
"Damn! What are you all doing? You fired so many cannonballs and didn't hit anything, but the Navy hit our ship like this in just one volley!"
