Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Water Element Transcendent, Making a Deal
Fang Yu fired another shot, instantly obliterating the last cannon on the pirate ship in front of him. Now the enemy’s vessel had almost no means of long-range attack left.
Seeing this, Fang Yu swiftly ordered everyone through the Brain Domain network, "Board the ship, I want to capture the enemy leader alive!"
The crowd was startled upon hearing Fang Yu’s command.
Capture the leader alive?
Why not kill them?
Besides, boarding combat actually carries risks. If the enemy’s Transcendent leader erupts, our members could get hurt or even die.
Why not just use long-range cannons to sink the enemy’s ship directly?
However, Fang Yu merely said two words in the Brain Domain network:
"Follow me!"
Then he swiftly put away his rifle, held a pistol in hand, and maneuvered the sea ship to approach the pirate ship.
In a daze, the crowd obediently followed Fang Yu’s orders without comment.
Du Ran didn’t hesitate. Clenching his fists, he glanced at the enemy’s ship, and even Luo Kuan stepped down from the cannon, grabbed his gun, and followed Fang Yu.
Fang Yu didn’t explain the situation to everyone, primarily because they were unaware of the circumstances involving Wang Chen and several old captains.
At such a crucial moment of war, there was no time for detailed discussion, so he directly issued orders for everyone to follow him.
He hadn’t forgotten exactly how he encountered the pirate ship.
The ultimate goal of this skirmish was not to annihilate the pirates but to capture the enemy leader alive to find clues from the leader’s mouth about Wang Chen colluding.
Once a clue is found, the matter of Wang Chen’s collusion with the pirates can be reported to the Ocean Court.
Not only will Wang Chen be expelled from Ji Clan Trading Association’s internal ranks, but even the Ocean Court might not spare him imprisonment.
As for those old captains, Fang Yu had marked them.
Although they hadn’t acted directly against him, skulking behind the scenes was no different than taking direct action.
If not for Fang Yu’s numerous trump cards, like Extraordinary abilities, extraordinary crew members, Blood Grenades, and Sea Ship Repair Scrolls, he might have already been sunk by these two pirate ships.
Whether he could survive would be entirely at the whim of the pirates.
This was already an irreconcilable enmity, none of the four captains could expect peace.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu didn’t say a word and directly maneuvered the Salted Fish to crash into the pirate ship.
"Boom!"
The two ships collided heavily, making everyone instinctively grab the nearby railing.
Salted Fish lost about 10% durability due to the impact, despite the blessing of thick armor.
But Fang Yu wasn’t concerned; he was only capitalizing on this brief contact to...
Leap over!
The 6-point Energy Level jumping ability had reached an astonishing level; at this moment, not just Fang Yu, but the crew members resembled a flock of flyers, instantly jumping onto the enemy’s ship.
"Attack!"
Du Ran smirked, quite like a villain.
He led the charge, not only blocking the bullets aimed at him but also...
One punch, one little pirate!
No pirate could withstand a punch from Du Ran and were knocked down one after another.
In close-quarters land combat, Du Ran was practically a war machine, with thick skin and powerful strength, bulldozing forward, sparing Fang Yu and others some energy.
The group advanced, searching high and low for any sign of the pirate leader.
Just then, behind Fang Yu, a figure formed from seawater quietly emerged from a nearby patch of sea.
No one expected...that a figure would emerge from an inconspicuous patch of seawater beside them.
The sudden attack was likely unguarded against.
The figure from the water silently flowed towards Fang Yu.
In its view, the young man ahead seemed entirely oblivious, entirely unguarded.
Internally, it smirked, knowing this youth was the opponent’s mastermind.
If it could capture him, then the enemy...
"Huh?!"
Before it could show smugness, it suddenly felt a gun barrel pressing firmly against its head.
The cold air emanating from the gun barrel was colder than the seawater...
"Captain, just as expected, this guy indeed tried a sneak attack."
Luo Kuan’s voice came from behind, holding a pistol and grinning while pointing at the head of this water-element Transcendent.
The crowd seemed to have anticipated it, turning their heads, their gaze now resting on this water-element Transcendent, with suppressed laughter visible on their faces.
"What’s going on?"
This water-element Transcendent muttered, having ensured no one noticed this patch of water, covertly emerged from everyone’s blind spot to prepare the capture.
How did they notice the moment he showed up?
However, what he didn’t expect was...
Before boarding, Fang Yu had realized that the water-element Transcendent’s abilities might be odd, with fewer chances in direct confrontation, needing to resort to stealth.
So, in advance, Fang Yu ordered Wang Qing, possessing the Far-sighted Talent, to stay on the Salted Fish, observing everyone’s surroundings.
The moment the water-element Transcendent showed up, Wang Qing marked it in the Brain Domain network.
Everyone was aware he had surfaced, except the water-element Transcendent himself.
The suppressed laughter from the crowd; that scene just unfolded with significant comedic elements.
Through team cooperation, catching the opponent’s leader was surprisingly easy?
Now, staring at this water-element Transcendent, Fang Yu drew his pistol, pressed it against the head, and whispered, "Withdraw your Transcendent ability!"
At this moment, Fang Yu’s pistol still retained its passive effects.
Throughout the battle, he had fired 12 shots, and now the 13th shot was stronger, still possessing the destructive effect.
This water-element Transcendent sensed Fang Yu’s pistol, emanating an unyielding Transcendent force, filled with a deathly and obliterating aura, making him tremble internally.
He couldn’t forget the earlier scene wherein a cannon was shot into oblivion.
Recalling this, he quickly withdrew his Transcendent ability, with the water slowly dissipating from him, transforming from a "water person" to a robust middle-aged man with bushy whiskers.
Gazing at the pirate leader in front, Fang Yu smiled slightly before ordering the crowd to search and strip him of all weapons to ensure he posed no threat.
Fang Yu then sat across from the man, gazing at him and said:
"Let’s make a deal, shall we?"
"Make a deal?" The pirate leader was puzzled, looking somewhat perplexed at Fang Yu: "What kind of deal do you want to make?"
"Trade your life for some information."
Fang Yu casually responded.
