Chapter 28: Decisive Sniper Shot
A puff of white smoke emerged from the black muzzle, Hobodi casually threw down the gun in his hand and jumped to the front of the sailor on the deck, snatching a knife with one hand.
Looking at the stunned first mate and the sailors, Hobbit shouted: "What are you still dazed about? Cut off the rope ladder they came over with!"
This shout made the first mate and sailors come to their senses, pushing through the crowd to gather at the bow of the ship near Dias' pirate vessel.
On the other hand, the crew members of the Demon Sea Pirates stood still on the rope ladder, stopping their actions.
The excitement before, after that gunshot, has now been swept away, what did they see?
Captain Devil Dias, half-kneeling on the rope ladder, swayed back and forth, spitting out scarlet mouthfuls, disbelievingly covering the wound on his chest, staring at them with eyes already filled with a sheet of blood red.
Blood splattered on the sea surface, instantly dyeing it red, and the place where Dias covered was exactly the white small ball that Hobodi had hit out, originally at the very center of his white cross mark.
Dias let out a furious roar, staring at Hobodi who was less than fifty meters away, his eyes filled with hatred and rage: "You bastards, don't need me to take care of it, kill him for me!"
His eyes widened, and after a brief contraction, he felt the scene in front of him flash, his whole body leaning forward, falling onto the rope ladder, dropping into the sea.
"Captain!" The demon pirate crew's staff officer shouted: "The captain has been shot, hurry up and save the captain!"
"But the captain's orders were..."
"They're within spitting distance, can't escape much further! The last three at the back go to rescue Captain Dias, the rest of you stop standing stupidly on the rope ladder, quicken your pace, they're going to cut off the rope ladder!"
As the demon pirate crew's division of labor became clear, the last three sailors on the rope ladder jumped down into the sea without hesitation. The rest of the group, numbering in the dozens, stopped being stunned and frantically shouted as they ran towards the deck of the Raphael.
Just in terms of momentum, the Demon Sea Pirates were completely defeated by the crowd on the Raphael. Except for Hoboldi and about twenty others, everyone else was confused by the scene before them and frantically ran towards the ship's hold.
People are falling and being trampled, while others are holding onto those in front of them to prevent themselves from being pulled down.
"Hey, old man, they..." The young sailor couldn't bear to look back, hesitating with the knife in his hand.
"Never mind them!" the first mate bellowed. "What we have to do now is cut through the rope ladder with your knives! Put some more strength into it! Half of it's still left."
The First Mate and Hobbes were the fastest, each cut being swift and decisive in severing the rope ladders, but the Demon Sea Pirates' rope ladder was actually made up of dozens of individual rope ladders connected together with rope nets or more accurately.
They cut off half of the area, and the space available for stepping on the rope ladder was reduced by a part. The speed at which the demon pirate crew members successfully boarded the Raphael would also be greatly slowed down.
Some unstable pirates at sea wobbled back and forth for a while before falling into the ocean, but this situation is only a minority.
The crew of the Demon Sea Pirates weren't fools either, with a distance of only fifty meters between them, Hobodi and his men cut off the rope ladder range, they could clearly observe that every time they cut off an area, those who stayed in Hobodi's area would move to the uncut rope ladder range.
After a while...
Two for a group, one root, two roots, three roots, Hobbit and the big deputy do not know how many ropes were cut off, in short, they have been cutting from the left side of the bow to the right side.
"Add a bit more strength, and they won't be able to get through, hahaha!!!" The big deputy laughed loudly.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and on the coast just ten meters to the right of the Raphael, a demon pirate staff officer held a white-steam-emitting pistol. On this side of the Raphael, a sailor clutched his abdomen, the blade in his hand falling as he collapsed to the ground.
"Give up! Even if you cut the rope ladder, where can you escape to? Don't forget that our ship still has cannons. And the kid who just fired a shot, isn't coming out... everyone on this ship is going to die..."
Hobbs and the first mate pushed away the sailors who were constantly rubbing against the ropes on the spot, with the first mate in front and Hobbs behind. The first mate let the rope disperse and break, and Hobbs was responsible for cutting it off thoroughly!
Hahaha---
One by one, the ropes snapped, and the pirates who were originally standing on the ropes fell into the sea.
The figure of the pirate's advisor on the rope ladder also began to shake, and when the last rope that held the two sides in mid-air was cut by the first mate with a knife, he immediately ran to one side, squatted down and observed the injured sailor.
The rope began to fray, and Hobodi raised his knife high.
"Stop it!" The demon pirate's advisor hastily restrained him.
"We're just asking for the treasure and for you to hand over the sniper who injured our captain, but if you cut that rope...". The demon pirate strategist dragged out his words, taking step by step towards the Rafael.
Hobadi stared at him expressionlessly, now that the situation was temporarily in their favor. If he cut this rope, the connection between the two ships would be immediately broken, and the man standing on the rope would also fall into the sea.
"Are you sure you want to continue? After we regroup, your ship will face the Devil's Cannon attack. Within a 20-mile radius, there won't be any islands. Think about drifting alone at sea... and don't forget, the North Sea has the North Sea Giant lurking around..."
"Noisy."
Ah!
One sword fell, and all the ropes that had been scattered from Dias' pirate ship were cut off. The pirate strategist fell into the air above the sea surface, immediately bellowing at Hobodi, cursing loudly: "You can't escape! As long as you're in the North Sea, we'll be able to catch up with you right away - wait for it! The wrath of the Devil's Pirate Gang!"
"Boring barking."
The pirate attack was finally repelled, but the chaos on the Raphael had not yet ended. Passengers on the rear deck continued to surge forward in a bid to get into the cabins.
The first mate and the sailors on this ship were all plunged into gloom at the sight.
"Kid, although you dropped the chain at a critical moment, that last shot of yours was pretty good. What's next? Those goods are beyond hope, and now these dozen sailors are all listening to you," said the first mate.
Hobodi fell into deep thought, gazing at the porthole near the gunwale of the demon pirate ship's deck not far away, where he had previously made a cross mark for testing.
In the previous shot that hit Dias, Hobodi didn't tell the first mate that he hadn't even opened the scope, it was a pure blind shot.
However, coincidentally, that stray bullet happened to hit the pirate Dias, coupled with the seemingly conscious transmission from the gun earlier.
Marker form, sniper form, two brand new and completely different concepts...
This sniper rifle brought from past life is likely to have been modified by Begabongku into the special skill carried in the movie of past life!
Hobbit picked up the sniper rifle that had been dropped on the ground and looked at the first mate and others: "I now have a way, if successful, we can get rid of the Devil's Sea Pirate Gang!"
