In naval battles, when the two sides of the war cannot reach an agreement, the entire battle process can be roughly divided into three stages.

The first stage is long-range bombing. In this stage, both sides need to be armed ships, each of which is equipped with artillery of varying degrees. When everyone meets each other, it is best to be able to sink the other party directly. If the hull is firm enough, or if the luck is not good, and the ships on both sides have not sunk, then the second stage will be entered.

In the second stage, the bloodiest jumping gang melee battle. Both sides of the war board each other's ship by hooking or pedaling to conduct close attack and defense. The goal is to occupy the opponent's ship first without its own ship being captured. It is best to be able to kill or defeat the opponent's captain and prompt the opponent to surrender.

The third stage is the end, the battle comes to an end, and the situation of victory or defeat is almost clear. At this time, it is the handling of the losers. If the captains on both sides are decent gentlemen, they will release the prisoners and even return the ship to them, only requiring all the valuable materials on the losers' ship, and the latter cannot refuse, and the losers are not qualified to say no.

If one of the two sides of the battle is a pirate, then it is natural that if you are defeated by a pirate, you will basically throw all the men into the sea, and the women will take them away with you together with the ship. If you defeat the pirates, most people will directly let the pirates jump into the sea, and live and die.

There is another special situation where both sides are pirates, so things are easy to handle. The victor can choose to occupy the other party's ship and become the other party's leader. This is the rule. In the concept of pirates, many things are extremely simple. The strong have everything, and the weak can only hide in the corner and accept exploitation obediently!

Kylot's ship was an armed merchant ship, but he did not show it. Instead, he pretended to be an ordinary merchant ship without any defense. Pirates generally did not bombard the ship when they encountered such a ship. It was very likely that they chose to jump to the right place to fight in order to ensure the integrity of the merchant ship and the cargo on the ship to the greatest extent.

"You, don't raise the pirate flag for the time being. Let's get closer slowly and wait until it's about the same distance before raising the flag. Their ship is good, and it's not easy to chase after it if you are determined to escape."

As the captain of the Plunt, named after him, Plunt is an experienced pirate captain. His business has not been very good recently. After the reputation of the Pirate Islands was released, many merchant ships deliberately avoided this place, just like Sparrow advised Kylot not to come at the beginning. This made them usually go to sea to a very far place if they want to rob merchant ships. Sometimes they may go to sea for several days but return without success. Therefore, today they are finally able to do a large ticket, and they are not going to let go of two unprepared merchant ships.

It's getting closer, closer...Plante could see the people on the other side's boat without even using a telescope. Each boat was only a dozen people, full of cargo, which made him very happy and realized that today should be a happy night with a full load.

"Captain, it seems that something is wrong. They don't seem to panic at all when they see us coming... There are cannons on the side of our ship."

Most pirates were born in poverty and had no education, but they had been together at sea for so many years and had practiced their true knowledge and were still familiar with their business. It was strange that the two merchant ships had no reaction when they approached.

"Hmm...what do you mean?"

Plunt turned his head and looked at the man beside him. He was caught by them some time ago. He said that he was a pirate and was defeated and wanted to join them. Plunt saw that he was more skilled in some of the work on the ship than some old pirates, so he accepted it. However, one thing is that this guy has often given advice to him recently...

It’s not that it’s bad to give opinions. Many times his opinions are quite useful, but Plant always feels something is wrong, as if his crew members are a little restless recently.

"I think we should avoid it. It is not suitable to take action now. Seeing that they have not turned to the action yet, no matter what, when we see our approaching, we should have some reaction, right?"

In Plant's opinion, some inexplicable suggestions, Atwood continued to persuade him with great painstaking advice. Behind them were a group of silent pirates. I don't know when, the young man, who had only been on board for two months, had already achieved the second place on the ship.

People always have their own habits in some aspects. In the past two months, Atwood believed that he had figured out the captain's temper and how to make him follow his plan. He was confident.

"I... won't retreat! Go forward at full speed, young people, prepare to jump to the gang!"

Subconsciously trying to agree, Plunt suddenly felt something was wrong. He seemed to have heard this guy's advice a little bit lately, but now he subconsciously agreed to whatever he said. As a captain, this is a very dangerous situation. The world of pirates emphasizes prestige. A strong and powerful person should be a one-man rule. His words should be the target of the entire ship rather than the guy around him. So Plunt swallowed the words back.

"Yes, Captain Plant, we're...huh?"

To Atwood's surprise, Plunt actually rejected him, which was different from what he imagined. Looking up at the dangerous light in the other party's eyes, Atwood's heart was also terrified. Because he was smooth sailing, he seemed a little arrogant recently. The other party should be wary. Looking at Plunt's eyes, he would most likely have to do something to himself, but it doesn't matter. Even if he is alert now, it's too late. He just needs to fight. Maybe this is a good opportunity to go once and for all.

Atwood took two steps back, turned his head and tapped twice. The pirates behind began to take action, draw out their respective weapons, and the pirate ship began to accelerate to approach the two large ships in front.

Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters...

Atwood stood on the side of the boat at a distance of 100 meters. His eyes were good and he could already see what the other person on the boat was doing. He noticed that the other person was still not moving, but was just watching their actions. This was not right, it was so strange.

"Captain Plant, retreat. The two ships in front are not right. The people above are not afraid of us at all."

If it was for his own plan before, Atwood really wanted to retreat this time, this trap was really obvious.

"What a fuck! Gold and silver treasures are right in front of you. Did you ask me to retreat? Let me tell you, I am the captain of this ship, and what I say is the only order!"
