21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 582 - 578: Sea of Blood Whirlpool (Please subscribe, seeking monthly tickets)

As Chen Yu dealt with the Great London Fog, Jounouchi Hiromi also flew to the port.

Two fleets were engaged in an intense battle outside the harbor.

Captain Kidd's side was not just one ship but a pirate fleet made up of several Ghost Ships, which kept bombarding the city ashore with their Naval Guns. The Royal Navy, led by Lord Nelson, had set up a defensive formation outside the harbor, countering the pirates' attacks.

Jounouchi Hiromi didn't understand naval warfare from the age of sail, but Gilles de Rais by her side realized that the Royal Navy under Lord Nelson's command was in a rather awkward position.

Although superior in tonnage, firepower, and fleet size to the pirates, a heavier tonnage also meant slower speed, and the Royal Navy had to protect the city, preventing them from effectively pursuing the pirates. They could only defend using the range of their cannons, which made the entire fight very passive.

However, despite appearing passive, Lord Nelson clearly lived up to the title of the Royal Navy's soul, for under his command, the entire fleet formed an impregnable wall before the harbor. Each warship, like a precise gear, meshed together perfectly, giving the pirates no advantage.

"Madam, how may I assist you?" asked Gilles de Rais, seeing the Royal Navy was not at a disadvantage, he set aside the slight tension he had felt and turned to Jounouchi Hiromi for a plan to confront Captain Kidd, "Do you need me to capture Captain Kidd?"

"No need, Mr. Gilles, just tell the fleet commander that we are here to help. Mr. Chen Yu is attending to his matters; I must resolve this pirate issue before he arrives," said Jounouchi Hiromi as she dived towards the battlefield.

As Jounouchi Hiromi dove, the sky was quickly shrouded by a blood cloud, unmistakably the Blood Knight's signature Skill, the Blood Rain Technique.

The Blood Rain fell, and the sea area where the pirate fleet resided was soon dyed blood-red. Jounouchi Hiromi, rather than heading straight for the pirate fleet, dove into the sea.

This unusual maneuver not only stunned Gilles de Rais but also puzzled Lord Nelson, who was commanding from the flagship HMS Victory. He was unsure of what she intended to do, but Lord Nelson quickly recognized that this was reinforcements.

This realization brought an eagerly awaited opportunity for Lord Nelson.

"Attack formation! Let the first and second escort squads of the fleet strike from both flanks!" Lord Nelson rapidly relayed his orders, and he also exerted his powers to charge the flagship towards the pirate fleet.

Following Lord Nelson's orders, the Royal Fleet, previously arrayed in a crescent defense, split into two and charged toward the pirate fleet like two arrows, using tactics like those Lord Nelson had employed at the Battle of Trafalgar.

Only this time, they were not charging headlong into the enemy line but enveloping it from both sides.

As the Royal Navy mobilized, Jounouchi Hiromi, who had plunged into the sea, also began her actions.

The blood-red sea began to swirl, and a massive Whirlpool encompassing all the Ghost Ships of the pirates was forming.

The pirates aboard the Ghost Ship were naturally extremely sensitive to the changes in the ocean, but when they tried to turn the rudder to escape the reach of the Whirlpool, they found that their rudder was no longer responding to their commands.

Although Ghost Ships were different from real sailing ships, and their captains could, to a certain extent, ignore the currents and wind direction to control the entire ship, it was obvious that at this moment, all the Ghost Ships had been controlled by the Sea of Blood released by Jounouchi Hiromi.

The Whirlpool had already started to take shape, and the surface of the sea began to concave towards the center, with all the Ghost Ships being pushed by the swirling Sea of Blood, converging towards the middle.

Lord Nelson, who led the fleet in the charge, also noticed the existence of the Whirlpool. The two squadrons of the fleet did not foolishly charge directly towards the Whirlpool, but skimmed past it on a tangent, avoiding being sucked into the Whirlpool, while all the battleships had their guns blazing, launching the fiercest bombardment at the Ghost Ships caught in the center of the Whirlpool that could no longer escape.

Countless cannonballs burst forth from the muzzles, and the old naval guns burst forth with formidable power with the blessing of Lord Nelson's Heroic Spirit, almost instantly turning the trapped Ghost Ships into flying wood splinters.

However, the Ghost Ships were not completely powerless to fight back. At least Captain Kidd's flagship was still able to strike back, and it was also continuously trying to break free from the Whirlpool, unlike the other Ghost Ships that were being battered by the Royal Navy without the ability to defend themselves.

Even though Captain Kidd's Ghost Ship was gradually breaking free from the pull of the Whirlpool, the other Ghost Ships clearly did not possess such powerful abilities. Drawn by the Whirlpool, their distances became smaller and smaller, with masts and hulls colliding together, squeezing into a mass.

Under the sea, Jounouchi Hiromi continued to control the great Whirlpool, pulling all the Ghost Ships toward the center, while also not letting off Captain Kidd's Ghost Ship, which was trying hard to steer towards the edge of the Whirlpool. Several blood-tendrils formed from the Whirlpool viciously shot out, smashing towards Captain Kidd's Ghost Ship with overwhelming force.

But Captain Kidd, being one of the prisoners who did not submit to the control of this space, naturally had his own means of resisting oppression. This capital was not his pirate fleet, nor his flagship, but Captain Kidd himself.

A human-shaped iron cage appeared out of thin air, expanding instantly to a size large enough to encompass the entire Ghost Ship, encasing it completely.

The attack of the blood-tendrils was borne by the iron cage. Yet, even with a blow that could smash a Ghost Ship to smithereens, when it landed on the iron cage, it was utterly ineffective, and the blood-tendrils themselves collapsed as soon as they touched the iron cage.

The Ghost Ship, now encased in the human-shaped iron cage, instantly broke free from the bindings of the Whirlpool and quickly regained speed, steering out of the Whirlpool.

It was clear that Captain Kidd had given up on his pirate fleet and planned to escape alone.

Of course, Jounouchi Hiromi could not let Captain Kidd get away so easily. She released control of the Whirlpool and turned all her attention to Captain Kidd's Ghost Ship.

More blood-tendrils rose from beneath the sea, wrapping around the iron-caged Ghost Ship, while Jounouchi Hiromi also manipulated the Sea of Blood to affect the sea surface, causing the entire sea to begin collapsing inwards.

However, this hindrance to the Ghost Ship was very limited, and Captain Kidd's Ghost Ship continued to flee the battlefield at a speed comparable to that of a speedboat.

Just then, a beam of light descended from the sky, striking the iron cage shrouding the Ghost Ship, smashing both the iron cage and the Ghost Ship down, instantly submerging the deck beneath the bloody waters.
