Chapter 877 Blood Lion Hooker
Akan felt that the old sea wolf's eyes looking at the boat were like looking at a prostitute naked, and his eyes were full of greed and inexplicable excitement. It seems that you have to swallow the ship little by little with your eyes. Step by step from the bow, I saw the stern, mast, fort, sail, rudder, and each cabin, and I didn't let it go at all.
After looking straight for two hours, he asked, "What do you want to change this ship to?"
Aken raised three fingers and said, "First, let the original owner put his eyes on the cabin, but he can't recognize it. Second, flexible! Hurry up! Third, install as many guns with the longest range as possible.
The old sea wolf listened carefully and then said, "To be quick, this ship is fast enough. The British improved Spanish Galen sailboat, which is the fastest with this small boat. If you increase the speed, you will have to sacrifice a lot of space for loading. In addition, if you install more cannons, your crew will be reduced, so if you take the battle, you will suffer losses.
Aken laughed and said, "Our Baron means that we need a gunboat with the fastest speed and the most flexible turn in the Caribbean!" As for everything else, it doesn't matter!"
The old sea wolf doesn't understand what Zhang Fan Aken means. Although the general pirate ships are also equipped with some cannons, most of them use the method of grabbing the ship. If they blindly use shelling, the other side's ship will destroy the goods and sink to the bottom of the sea, isn't it empty-handed?! Does the baron just want to play with others? But if you are approached by other ships and pull the battle with rope hooks, what's the use of more guns? He didn't know that the battle would be eliminated in ten years, and the naval battle was mainly long-range shelling.
"No problem, but then again. Although I know Stoke very well, but..." The old sea wolf patted the steering wheel.
Aken interrupted the old sea wolf, took out three pieces of scene wealth and handed it to the old sea wolf, "This is the baron's deposit. Let Stock inform me when it is transformed. Please do it as soon as possible..."
The old sea wolf's eyes lit up and immediately took the property and said happily, "Let the Baron rest assured. In ten days, the old sea wolf can make this little guy as fast as a swordfish!"
"Ten days?" Aken looked at the old sea wolf.
"Ten days!" The old sea wolf nodded with certainty.
............
The days of waiting are not boring, and everyone is playing on this island. Under the care of Zhang Fan, Aken did not go to bars and other public places to have fun. He was also worried that Captain Hook of the 'Blood Lion' pirate group would find trouble for him. After all, there are only more than 120 people in their own fleet, and the 'Blood Lion' pirate group has more people than them.
Those black crew members are much more honest than the white crew members. They all rest in the hotel, and some backbones follow the old sea wolf to modify the ship and learn to calibrate artillery.
Captain Hooker also seemed to abide by the pirate convention and did not harass Zhang Fan's fleet. However, there are some pirates who went to sea and plunder one after another, either return with a full load, or come to this hidden port with a gray face, and the old sea wolf's repair dock became more and more busy. In fact, most pirate ships are repaired by themselves. Because the pirates seem to be beautiful, most of them are very poor. It is not easy to rely on one or two small boats to plunder the armed merchant ships of those big capitalists. Most of them were beaten by the escort fleet and returned empty-handed. Moreover, their pirates also have to eat and earn wages, and the cost of looting is not low. Only those privateers are in a much better situation while doing business and robbing.
Therefore, Aken found that it would be a loss to stay in this era for 20 years if he did not engage in this promising career of the plundering fleet. After all, it is very expensive to sail to find dragons, to have a good relationship with historical figures such as Drake and Hawkins, and to fight pirates. If it hadn't been for the previous plunder of Byzantium's thousand-year savings, it would not be easy to start from scratch in this era and get along well from the beginning.
But the good days will come to an end after a week. On this day, a thin man who claimed to be a pirate guild knocked on the door of Stoke and Acon's room and handed over a challenge book. It asked Stoke to accept Captain Hook's duel invitation because the fleet of Stoke violated the interests of the 'Blood Lion' pirate on the high seas of Barbados. According to the 'Caribbean Robbery Convention', the two sides can resolve the dispute through a fair duel.
If you don't accept the duel, you must calm Captain Hooker's anger in one of the following three ways. First, pay compensation equivalent to 30 scenes of wealth. Second, hand over the two ships of Stoke's fleet. Third, Stoke handed over the private looting license and withdrew from the pirate guild.
Thirty scene wealth is a large amount. Although it is not expensive as life money, Aken will certainly not agree. Hand over the two ships, if they are all white merchant ships in this scene, there is no problem. But if you want to hand over the dark gold props, Akan will naturally be reluctant to give up. It seems that only the third article is barely acceptable. Because Stoke's private license seems to have nothing to do with Arkans. But Stoke's words made Aken understand that this third article is terrible.
"You can enter this pirate hidden port because I had a private license and joined the pirate union, so you can freely enter and exit the hidden port without being attacked. Once I hand over the privateeracy license and withdraw from the pirate guild, this protection based on pirates and privateer captains will disappear. All pirates can attack my fleet and plunder it freely. Out of responsibility for my life, I will only accept the termination of the employment relationship with your fleet, and I dare not hand over the private looting license and withdraw from the pirate guild..." Stoke said with a wry smile.
"What's more, this private license is not cheap!" Stock added another sentence.
Aken nodded seriously and asked Stoke, "If we accept the duel, what price will we pay if we lose?" What can you get if you win?"
Stock shook his head: "You won't be against Captain Hooker. I miscalculated for a moment, and I didn't expect Captain Hooker to use this trick. If you lose, you still have to follow any of the three in the duel book. If you win, of course, you can also ask the other party to perform the compensation in accordance with one of the above three. If the person who provokes the duel loses, his power becomes his own obligation, which is very fair.
Aken glanced at Zhang Fan and nodded, "This is a gambling game, a terrible gambling game. Tell Captain Hook that we accept his duel invitation, let him wash his neck, lick the deck of his ship, and wait for us to receive it.
Stoke closed his eyes and thought it was over. They didn't know how powerful Captain Hooker was! How dare you be so provocative? I'm afraid it's not so easy to die after this duel.
The rules of duel are very simple. Find a place where the leaders of both sides compete, either to be killed or beg for mercy. Zhang Fan was a little silent. His combat effectiveness was not the strongest in the team. Aken's summoning puppet and on-the-spot response, the martial arts skills of the green wings, and even Xuanyuan Star's melee ability were stronger than himself.
And this scene is weakened, and I only have one-fifth of my physical ability. The other party is the leader of the third largest pirate group, and the pirate leader of the Caribbean is famous for his personal bravery. He once solved a male lion with a sailor's knife! This kind of force will inevitably be added to the scene! I'm afraid I won't be an opponent. It's okay to admit defeat, which will drag down the team.
"Let me do this duel..." The book demon pushed the monolit glasses and said lightly.
"You?" Aken and Zhang Fan are both doubtful.
"How can I do this duel!" Green Wing immediately stood up and fought her favorite!
"I'll do it!" Xuanyuanxing also sincerely invited the war.
The book demon still looks unhurish, "You can't do it. This is a battle between leaders. Although I am not the leader of the team, my scene status is the same as Zhang Fan, and I have been awarded the title of Baron. You are all just knights. Therefore, I can fight instead of Zhang Fan, but I'm afraid you can't.
The book demon paused and added, "You know, I won't lose..."
Everyone is silent, and the book demon is right. Because in the scene of the 'British Air War', due to the proposal of the book demon and Zhang Fan, the important task of 'rebuilding London' was completed. Therefore, as an advocate, the book demon naturally won the favor of the scene. Thus, together with Zhang Fan, the initiator of the donation, he received the title of King of England. As other members of the team, because these wealth are common, they have also been awarded the title of Royal Bath Knight.
The same scene status as the team leader gives the book demon enough reasons and opportunities to replace the leader when facing this duel task that the team leader must participate in.
More importantly, the book demon said that he would not fail, which also convinced everyone. Although the book demon has no force, even his physical strength is only equivalent to a strong ordinary person. However, he received the 'absolute defense' passive skill supported by the ancient Chinese mythical beast Bai Ze. As long as the opponent's attack power exceeds the mythical beast 'Bai Ze', then you can't defeat the book demon!
No matter how powerful Captain Hook is, he can't be the opponent of the ancient Chinese mythical beast 'Bai Ze'! Unless the European gods possess him, he can't break the 'absolute defense' even if he is exhausted! And no other members of the team dare to say that they can beat Captain Hooker! Or invincible...
The duel took place in a small square in the port. Before the time came, it had been surrounded by hundreds of strange pirate crews. The market for gambling has been opened here. Of course, the odds of the unpopular Zhang Fan team are very low.
Zhang Fan and the book demon saw Captain Hook for the first time. This burly man with a bloody iron hook in his right hand was full of bloodthirsty cruelty in his eyes! It makes people shudder.
