v2 Chapter 227： Great victory (1/2)

A cannonball rubbed the side of the Jackdaw's ship and fell into the water, splashing a series of splashes, but unfortunately did not cause any substantial damage to the target.

The gunner on Miranda took an annoyed shot of the bow's bow. This was the fifth consecutive time he had missed. This had never happened before. On the contrary, the Jackdaw not only escaped everything. The shell also hit the Miranda once with the ship's stern gun.

Ford can feel that the opponents in front have become more tricky than when they met before.

Should it be said that it is indeed the great pirate regiment famous in Nassau? Sure enough, there are two brushes, and even in this case, they still behave so tenaciously.

However, some things cannot be solved with courage, such as the shrinking distance between Jackdaw and Miranda.

When Miranda really catches up and clings to Jackdaw, it's time for the side guns to begin to dominate.

Then Jackdaw will have nowhere to run.

Therefore, when the bow gun missed the chance to hit the opponent continuously, Ford did not act too hurry.

At this time, the spirit of the other people on the boat gradually relaxed. The situation of Coral Island and Parrot Island is different, and the area is very small. There is no natural harbor like Parrot Island. The surrounding situation can be seen at a glance. It is large after half a circle around the island. The deputy had also been able to determine that there were indeed no ambush vessels nearby.

From this point of view, the other party should indeed be forced into a dead end before they have to choose to venture into the reef area and try their best.

But as Ford said, as long as they bite each other and don't try other routes, there will be no danger.

There are many old sailors on the Miranda, and they have experienced many battles with pirates before. Some of them are insidious and cunning guys. The pirate hunters who can keep winning and are famous in this area are not idlers. He has a keen sense of smell for danger.

So far, they have not noticed any anomalies, and victory has never been so close to them like this moment.

Ford was still immersed in the joy of winning the Jackdaw, but he did not expect a sudden shock from his feet, and many people on the boat fell to the ground.

Ford's face changed. ”What's going on?”

”Captain, we're probably hitting the rocks,” the chief officer said anxiously.

”Nonsense, of course, I know we have hit the rocks. You still tell me about this kind of thing. I asked how this is possible?” Ford was frightened and angry, no more demeanor, and growled angrily.

He pointed to the Jackdaw not far away, ”They just passed by before, why are they okay ?!”

”This ...” The chief officer also looked blank when he heard it.

As the two talked, the seawater had begun to pour into the cabin, and the large hole broken by the reef could not be blocked at all. Soon the Miranda's hull began to tilt and stopped until thirty degrees.
