Pirate Kingship-Chapter 728 - 480: Black Sails: You Have a Sea Great Wall, I Have Fire to Burn Your Camps

"Ah... ah... save me..."

Only a few sailors on the lower deck still had the strength to call for help, but most of them were bleeding from their seven orifices, clearly on the verge of death.

Worse still, as the explosion spread and flames surged, the fire started to spread from the two wooden sailboats to nearby ships.

One of the ships even triggered a tragic explosion due to the ammunition depot catching fire, sending flames everywhere.

"Disengage! Make an emergency avoidance!"

At this point, the ships finally ignored the military tribunal and began to turn their bows to evade friendly fire.

This "maritime fortress" was better than the Iron Chain Binding because it wasn't physically connected and could be disassembled at any time.

Which was exactly what Byron wanted.

They never intended to burn the fleet to the ground in one go; every ship in the Treasure Fleet carried invaluable cargo, each worth dozens of small targets.

If they were entirely burned, it would all go to waste, wouldn't it?

As the Treasure Fleet descended into chaos, passively splitting into sub-fleets.

"All forces advance!"

Byron immediately issued the next battle command.

The treasure fleet, composed of hundreds of pirate ships, split into two parts.

An upwind fleet led by [The Fearless], [Flame Rose], and [Bloody Hand], and a downwind fleet led by [Golden Fleece], [Suffering Cathedral], and [Candy House].

Both fleets headed straight into the flaming gaps in the enemy's forces.

The "T"-shaped "maritime fortress" was quickly seized by the pirate fleet and divided into a "卄" shape.

"Fire from both sides!"

As the upwind fleet crossed paths with the Treasure Fleet, the Ghost Ship [The Fearless], as the flagship and leading vessel, opened fire on the ships on both sides.

Some of the hot cannonballs fell into the water while others slammed into the bows or sterns of enemy ships, causing horrific bleeding incidents.

Even though the hit rate was low during the high-speed passage, it didn't matter at all, because the [Flame Rose], [Bloody Hand], and numerous pirate ships followed suit and fired their cannons.

After Byron led [The Fearless] through the enemy formation, he ignored the central forces and immediately turned back to encircle the vanguard.

Then, with [Flame Rose] and [Bloody Hand], they hunted down the flagship [Numa Nande] of the vanguard sub-fleet.

Each fired a round of scatter bombs to sweep the enemy's decks.

"Boarding! Onboard combat!"

The most brutal boarding combat commenced upon orders.

Saranthe transformed into a "cannonball devilfish" resembling an artillery shell and squeezed himself into the breech of a large-caliber mortar on the aft deck.

Boom—!

A loud bang.

In the next moment, amid fire and smoke, he soared like a real shell from one of [Numa Nande]'s gunports, smashing inside.

Beginning with a [Flash Technique].

Using an unparalleled impact force, he brandished the wolf fang club like a whirlwind, crushing all the sailors along the way.

He charged from the right side of the ship to the left, then dashed out of the opposite gunport and leaped onto the deck in two steps.

Someone just happened to say something that ignited his rage:

"Quick, take down that berserker wielding the wolf fang club!"

Saranthe immediately lifted the "Honor" seal on himself, and the heavy Honor plummeted, almost smashing through the deck.

Instantly transformed into the "Hidden Fish" specializing in the chrysanthemum assault, he gripped the wolf fang club and stirred the endless water vapor over the sea, turning it into a high-speed electric drill.

Then the deck resounded with a chorus of anguished cries like: "No, no, no, ah—!"

Nearby, everyone shivered fiercely, whether friend or foe.

This technique guaranteed 100% physical trauma, if struck, the target was doomed to die, and it had a splash effect, causing up to 1000% psychological trauma to others.

It's a kind of "spell damage," isn't it?

Although Saranthe only knew one true spell [Flash Technique], he had mastered staff techniques and physical conditioning, which were "close combat spells," to the highest level.

Even when finally shot away by the heroic spirit [Don Quixote] summoned by [Numa Nande]'s captain Jeanne, he took advantage of the opportunity to damage the rudder wheel, significantly impairing its maneuverability.

Soon after, Byron and his crew swiftly encircled them.

The battle was fiercely fought.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the downwind fleet, after firing a volley, immediately turned downwards, focusing entirely on devouring the rear sub-fleet led by the deputy commander.

"Be careful not to blow up the ammunition depot."

"Kill, kill, kill, board and capture the ship, as long as we take an escort ship, we'll have enough for ourselves, our sons, and our grandsons for a lifetime."

"Today, we will bring down the People of Castilia from their pedestal.

The masters of the sea should be us."

The pirates didn't need coordination among themselves; the prey was big enough that how much they could devour depended entirely on their skills.

Even the world-renowned Castilia Marines couldn't make those bloodthirsty pirates retreat a single step; when someone fell in front, there would immediately be someone behind to follow.

Furthermore, in this unprecedented large-scale plundering event, both personnel and wealth,

Numerous pirates, adhering to the motto "robbery surpasses toil," awakened their spirituality and became Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinarys.

At this time, on the flagship [Ox City] of the Treasure Fleet, due to the fleet being split bi-directionally, even the Burgundian Cross Flag, symbolizing the Navy, dimmed in glory.
