Chapter 15 Rat Dolphin Statue

Upon hearing Fang Senyan's instructions, the pirates were somewhat surprised, probably thinking the new captain liked soap. They quickly went to do as he asked. Reef breathed a sigh of relief, clearly unwilling to see the slaughter of prisoners of war, so Fang Senyan had thoughtfully taken his feelings into consideration.

Under Fang Senyan's ingenious coordination and work arrangements, the three-masted galleon began to rapidly come to life. The thick sails on the three masts were filled with wind. These skilled pirates somewhat awkwardly controlled the three-masted sailing ship on the deck, quickly familiarizing themselves with the work at hand. Fang Senyan occasionally kicked them in the rear, making them work as if they were wound up.

As the three-masted galleon slowly started, Fang Senyan received a notification from the Nightmare Imprint: "You have control of the ship 'Sam,' with a displacement of three thousand one hundred tons."

"Currently, there are one hundred and seventeen storyline pirates under your command."

"Milestone: Pirate Captain Achieved!"

"You have obtained the title: Pirate Captain. Your deterrence towards ordinary pirates is increased by 100%, and your underwater breathing time is extended by 10 minutes."

"When you are on the sea, you can effectively increase the attack/defense/movement speed of friendly forces within a kilometer by 15%!"

"In addition, when you successfully capture/kill other ships and enemies at sea, you also gain the special ability to view valuable special components/valuable special materials/valuable special equipment related to naval warfare."

"Milestone: Pirate Fleet Commander Appears."

"Pirate Fleet Commander: Your reputation among all pirates has reached Revered. You possess a ship with a displacement of over seven thousand tons, and the number of storyline pirates on board must not be less than three hundred."

"Hint: After completing this milestone, you will receive a Black Iron-level title."

Looking at this series of prompts, Fang Senyan immediately equipped the new Pirate Captain title. Then he searched his own ship and found nothing new. Next, he went to One-Eyed Hogg's dilapidated pirate ship.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that the bow of the ship was emitting a strange light. The light was different from that emitted by equipment/items. Fang Senyan immediately jumped up and searched everywhere. He found that the light was coming from the figurehead. Upon closer inspection, a series of data appeared before him: Dolphin Figurehead

Equipment Position: Bow
Equipment Nature: Special Storyline Equipment. This type of equipment cannot be taken out of this world and can only be used by the world's natives, but it can also be sold to the Nightmare Space. Only contractors with relevant abilities can detect and collect special storyline equipment.

Origin: Madrid
Equipment Rarity: Light Blue
Material: Oak
Attachable Device: Gemstone Eyes

Effect: Increases the ship's movement speed at sea by 3% and increases the ship's hull durability by 3%.

Installation Location: Bow

Description: Only the captain can use his insightful eyes to find excellent special components and special materials on enemy ships. Install these components on your ship to make your beloved ship even stronger! Of course, the prerequisite is that you must occupy the ship to do so.

Description: Or, if you think these materials are not strong enough, you can sell them to the Space in exchange for a large number of Universal Points or Potential Points. Only one of the two can be chosen.

Since he found this, Fang Senyan unhesitatingly called someone over to lift the figurehead and install it on the three-masted galleon he currently occupied. The replaced figurehead was a generic white item that naturally could not be sold. He casually threw it into the sea like garbage.

After raising the sails, Fang Senyan issued an order to sail towards the edge of the battlefield, avoiding the enemy as much as possible, while also ordering all the cannons on the ship to be removed. The reason for doing this was very simple: Fang Senyan's current temporary small group had been established for less than half a day. Now that more than half of the pirates had suddenly joined, it was almost impossible to expect them to be "well-trained, disciplined, and highly cooperative."

But fighting on the sea requires these twelve words! The sailors on each ship must be completely integrated with the ship as a whole for their combat power to be stronger. Conversely, individual strength is far less important in sea battles.

Fang Senyan was a man, not a god. No matter how strong he was, he could not turn these originally undisciplined pirates into an iron army overnight! Therefore, from the beginning, he had decided to engage the enemy in melee combat! He wouldn't engage in any cannon battles with the enemy.

Therefore, the only thing he was pursuing with the ship he currently controlled was absolute speed and survivability, specifically targeting ships with relatively slow speeds and engaging them in close-quarters combat!

Of course, warships with powerful long-range firepower had definitely faced many such situations. Their ships must also be equipped with equally powerful soldiers who were not afraid of engaging in boarding combat with the enemy! Under normal circumstances, Fang Senyan's hundred or so pirates would not be enough to fight.

But now that Fang Senyan had obtained the Pirate Captain title, he could greatly enhance these pirates. His potions also had very powerful enhancement effects. There was also Reef, a powerful MT who was good at disrupting enemy formations.

This was equivalent to three tigers leading a flock of sheep to charge. The tigers would tear open the enemy's defenses, and the pirates, who were already good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong, had a very simple task: follow the charge and shout as they took out their axes and chopped at the enemy's heads!

Of course, someone would definitely be injured or even die in this process! Fang Senyan expressed his great regret, but he really didn't have time to train these pirates. The battlefield was also the best training ground, and those who survived would definitely be the strong!

Fang Senyan ordered them to cruise around the periphery of the battlefield, not entering the battle. After sailing at sea for half an hour, there was finally some basic coordination between all the pirates, and some of the older pirates were organized to modify the hull.

At this time, the sea was still quite vast for humans. Voyages were often calculated in "years." In such a time frame, if the ship broke down and had to return to the shipyard for repairs, it would have sunk to the bottom of the sea long ago.

Therefore, many older sailors also knew carpentry and served as part-time maintainers and repairers of the hull. Fang Senyan didn't require them to go to the battlefield, but instead asked them to make the ship faster and thicker, even at the cost of completely sacrificing long-range attack capabilities. These relatively older pirates were happy to do this work.

Then Fang Senyan turned around and said to Canby, who was standing in the distance and had just come out of the cabin, "How many British sailors are left on board?"

Canby thought for a moment, scratching his head with some difficulty, and then pulled over a pirate who looked somewhat thin next to him, "Hey, how many British guys are left?"

The pirate shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, I remember they were all locked up in the bottom hold. I'll go count."

As he spoke, he ran down the stairs, but less than two minutes later, a piercing gunshot came from below, followed by the pirate's miserable scream: "Not good, they plan to blow up the ship and steal the lifeboats to escape!"

It turned out that although those British had surrendered on the surface, they later realized that the strength of the pirates on the ship, apart from Fang Senyan and the other two, was relatively weak. Moreover, many pirates couldn't even remember the names of their own comrades, so they suddenly had other intentions.

This Sam was originally owned by these British, and they were very familiar with its environment. Although they were locked up in the bottom hold, they still found weapons under the leadership of a leading major. They were about to successfully escape, but they were discovered.

After hearing the screams, Fang Senyan's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly raised his foot and stomped heavily on the deck! With this kick, Fang Senyan used all his strength. With a very crisp "crack," he directly stomped out several long cracks in the extremely sturdy deck.

Amidst the flying sawdust and dust, Fang Senyan knelt on one knee and heavily added an elbow strike to the hole. The pitiful deck could no longer withstand the huge impact, and with a crack, it exploded, forming a huge hole. Fang Senyan also took the opportunity to fall into the lower-level cabin.

He ran with all his might and turned around a corner. He saw a British lieutenant with a look of determination on his face, holding a torch and approaching the armory. Without hesitation, Fang Senyan unleashed the ability of the Man Yao Eyes, charging over with fierce and domineering force, and with one punch, he sent the lieutenant flying seven or eight meters away. Fang Senyan also extinguished the torch!

Fang Senyan exhaled forcefully, shook his head, walked up to him, and said with a grim expression, "Humans may not harm tigers, but tigers may harm humans! I originally intended to let you live, and I didn't want to treat you with extreme measures, but you were planning to take my life!"

Indeed, if the mutiny of these rebellious sailors had succeeded, the armory on such a ship would have exploded. Fang Senyan and the other two would have been severely injured even if they didn't die. Fang Senyan's painstakingly planned layout would have turned into a bubble!
