Pirate Kingship-Chapter 724 - 479: The King of the Great Seas Patrols Here—Obey and Prosper, Defy and Perish! (6500)

The first fleet, led by the flagship and the commander, and the second fleet led by the deputy commander are at the front.

Finally, the third fleet, comprising primarily of aristocratic merchant ships, is led by the Numa Nande and the current Don Quixote, Jeanne Don Quixote.

They circled alone again and again at the border between the "First Circulation Zone" and the Sea of Monsters, day after day.

During this time, they encountered no accompanying ships.

Until the third day, having fully penetrated the First Circulation Zone, the northeast wind finally began to weaken and, very rarely, the most navigable southeast wind began to blow.

"Haha, that's great. Our bad luck is finally over!"

"May the creator bless us, the fleet will surely have smooth sailing ahead."

"..."

After a long time battling against headwinds, some sailors in the fleet couldn't help but cheer out loud in relief.

However, they hadn't been able to rejoice for long.

Woo woo woo...

A salty sea breeze mixed with heavy fog suddenly blew from the depths of the Sea of Monsters.

It tore apart the crest of the waves, drawing out long strips that rolled like white snakes, mercilessly drenching the sailors' clothes.

The once fairly clear weather became suddenly overcast with dark clouds, the wind howling, and from beneath the water came an increasing sound of "moo moo moo" like a cow's bellow.

The lookouts in the fleet couldn't help but widen their eyes and tightly stare at the distant pitch-black surface of the sea.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed lookout exclaimed:

"Sunfish, Captain, it's not good, a huge school of sunfish!"

Soon, others also clearly saw the owners of the mooing sounds—an enormous group of giant fish with a round, flat grayish-white shape.

Even the smallest among them was bigger than a small wooden house, with the largest ones exceeding ten meters in length, and each sunfish had an ugly human face on its head.

This proved they were not ordinary sunfish, but bizarre creatures that had swum in through a world rift from the Sea of Origin Matter.

[Bizarre - Sunfish]:

"Sunfish lack a true tail, and as long as there are waves in the sea, they tumble over and over, unable to maintain balance, which is why they often flip over.

This creature has always been regarded by fishermen as a symbol of bad omen, believing that encountering them often leads to shipwrecks.

When sunfish combine with the human souls of shipwreck victims to become bizarre creatures, the ocean legends turn into reality.

When these bizarre creatures appear in droves, the sea waves become extremely unstable and absorb energy from adjacent waves, forming terrifying 'Killer Waves!'

Even large battleships can't withstand this kind of Calamity."

The sailors of the Treasure Fleet, realizing what was about to happen, turned pale with fear and screamed one after another:

"Quick, everyone hold onto the ship to prepare for the Killer Wave."

While in "lock and key" state, the Treasure Fleet might not be observable by others, but this doesn't mean the various disasters of the world cannot affect them.

When encountering severe storms or other calamities, they would still sink if destined to do so.

The voice of Fleet Commander Beast Nemesis Wickliffe timely resounded again:

"Order: twin-column formation, close to the flagship Ox City."

The other large Garen ships knew the urgency of the situation and immediately turned the rudder swiftly, forming two long columns on the sea surface.

At the same time, Wickliffe, along with his sister Katerina, came to the rudder and activated the transcendent ability of the battleship they stood on.

——[Great Wall of the Sea]!

Iron-colored spiritual radiance rose up from the ship, extending swiftly along the two columns, uniting the entire fleet into one entity.

Originally just wooden hulls pieced together, under the enhancement of this ability, they all transformed into thick, sturdy textures like stone walls of a fortress.

It seemed as if these large Garen ships had instantly turned into an impregnable "Great Wall of the Sea."

Evidently, the Ox City was not merely an ordinary large Garen ship.

Its true identity was actually First Level Holy Relic - First Garen Sailing Ship:

"With a displacement of 1500 tons, 70 cannons, it differed from modern Sixth Level Battleships.

For it, like the First Heavy Cruiser, was an epoch-making entity from its inception.

Indeed, it was only after the Ox City that the Sixth Level Battleship classification system emerged.

Being the pioneer of 'sea siege warfare,' its foundational ability was to coordinate all other similar Garen sailing ships to establish the most advantageous battlefield for itself.

The more warships there are, the more powerful the effect."

When the bizarre sunfish swarmed with the Killer Waves rushing in, the entire fleet stood firm, unmoving.

The over ten-meter-high wave crests, upon reaching the fleet, seemed to crash into an invisible sea defense dam, pressed heavily until they quickly reverted to ordinary waves only one or two meters high.

Flowing away through the gaps between the ships.

Some supremely stubborn sunfish, determined to clash head-on with the "Great Wall of the Sea," would crash into the hull only to be utterly crushed, never realizing what exactly they had collided with.

However, the sunfish continued to come in succession, and the impact of the "Killer Waves" lasted for a full half-hour before it finally ended.

The glow of the Great Wall of the Sea formed by the Treasure Fleet also dimmed considerably compared to the start.

This divine skill, capable of withstanding artillery during fleet battles, seemed somewhat strained when resisting the "Calamity."

Moreover, there was not only the Calamity but also the Calamity of Man!

On the sea surface not too far from the Treasure Fleet, under the National Border Lock unfolded by the First Overseas Development Order, another even larger fleet had already been watching intently with greedy eyes.
