Quick Swan

boom.

Xia Qiu collided with the Swan Ship, and after a loud crash, the boat began to rock from side to side.

"My boat was hit."

Mr. 2 Bon Clay brought the last two bounty hunters aboard the ship, only to find his vessel had been rammed, and he looked somewhat anxious.

"Don't worry, Mr. 3, you stay here. I'll take care of your crew."

Gardino said, jumping onto his own boat.

"The Quick Swan is my sweetheart, you mustn't let it sink into the sea," Mr. 2 Bon Clay shouted.

"I'll do my best."

As Gardino spoke, he ordered his ships to move closer to the Quick Swan.

But just as the sails were hoisted and the rudder was turned to change direction, a surprising scene unfolded.

Mr. 2 Bon Clay's Quick Swan was seen heading in a direction away from this side.

"Look, there's a dark shadow under the ship," Mr. Christmas said, standing next to Gardino and pointing into the distance.

Underwater at the stern of the Swan, a huge Black Fish was seen pushing the ship away into the distance.

"This fish actually carried the boat away!" Gardino's eyes widened.

The Swan was huge, and this fish was able to propel the entire ship forward with its immense strength, far exceeding that of other sea fish of the same size, which seemed unbelievable.

But most importantly, why did it lift the ship off its back?

He sank two ships, saved the third one himself, and his own ship was nearby. Apart from that, only Mr. 3's Swan Ship remained.

In order to prevent itself from stopping him from sinking the ship, it chose to push the ship away.

If that's really the case, then that's incredibly clever.

"My ship!" Seeing this, Mr. 2 Bon Clay jumped onto Gardino's ship, looking somewhat anxious, and said, "Quickly, chase after them."

"Chase after them? Sure."

Gardino wanted to abandon the ship. He felt that the fish was being too clever and that the best option was to leave with both ships.

However, if Mr. 3 wants to catch up, Gardino can't disobey, and besides, he might be able to kill the fish.

"Chase after them."

"Gardino said, turning the boat around and chasing after it into the distance.

However, the ships in the distance were getting farther and farther away, and their speed was increasing.

"Turn the rudder, lower the sails, use the outer wheel, and attack the sea fish!" Mr. 2 Bon Clay shouted.

Mr. 2 Bon Clay's Quick Swan had an outer wheel that provided additional power, making it extremely fast.

But the next moment, Mr. 2 Bon Clay's eyes narrowed slightly, because one of the outer wheels had been damaged, and if only one outer wheel was used, it would be impossible to maintain balance.

Furthermore, the stern rudder was also damaged and rendered uncontrollable.

However, the bounty hunters on the Quick Swan reacted quickly, and could only lower the sails, adjust their position, and brace against the wind.

Xia Qiu tried to push hard, but the sail was tilted and blocked the wind, so the force was spread to the hull and the boat moved very slowly.

At this rate, the speed cannot be increased.

Xia Qiu discovered that the plan had also failed, while the MR4 ship in the distance was approaching.

"Very good."

Xia Qiu suddenly changed direction and accelerated towards Gardino's ship.

"He's coming!" Mr. Christmas called out just in time.

"He can't sink this ship," Gardino said confidently. The ship had three decks: the innermost deck was made of wax, the middle deck was made of wood, and the outermost deck was also made of wax.

Gardino wax, once solidified, is about as hard as iron and cannot be broken by impact.

The wood and wax form a single unit, consisting of three layers, making it much stronger than the hastily reinforced pirate ship.

Even though the wax might melt due to the temperature near some underwater volcanoes, the wood underneath would still be sufficient to support the ship's voyage.

boom.

Xia Qiu collided with Gardino's ship, causing the ship to shake violently, rock from side to side, and creak loudly.

The ship came to an immediate stop upon impact, but it was neither broken nor capsized.

"This force is immense."

Gardino felt the ship's hull heaving and was somewhat wary, but no matter how much force he had, he couldn't break his own ship unless he could break the steel.

But the next moment, Xia Qiu turned around and rushed towards the distant Quick Swan.

boom.

With tremendous force, Xia Qiu crashed into the Quick Swan, creating a large hole in one side of the Quick Swan.

"He's ramming another ship! Quick, get over there!" Mr. 2 Bon Clay was extremely anxious.

Once the ship was stable, Gardino ordered his men to give chase again, but they discovered that the Black Fish in the distance was rushing towards them once more.

"What is he going to do?" Mr. Christmas asked, puzzled.

"So that's how it is."

Gardino suddenly understood Black Fish's plan; he kept ramming the two ships for several reasons.

The first objective was to gain acceleration distance. The two ships were several tens of meters apart, enough for him to accelerate and smash a large hole in the distant ship.

The second purpose was to destabilize his own ship and stop its forward momentum, and he struck the bow to cause the ship to tilt.

If I want to chase him, I have to turn the boat around and wait until I can stabilize the boat before he can come again.

Even if I get there, the Swan will have already sunk.

Then he can easily devour the crew of the Swan.

This fish is really clever.

Gardino suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, but Mr. 2 Bon Clay hadn't noticed yet and shouted, "That damned sea fish is coming again! Quick, get over there!"

"Mr. 3, we have to abandon your ship," Gardino said through gritted teeth.

"What? You want me to abandon the Swan? There are so many sweethearts on board, I don't want to abandon them," Mr. 2 Bon Clay said, glaring at Gardino.

Gardino replied, "But with that kind of ramming, we simply can't get past, and your ship will sink sooner or later."

boom.

As Gardino spoke, the boat beneath their feet trembled again, and then the sea fish once more rushed toward the distant Swan Ship.

"Then what should we do?"

Mr. 2 Bon Clay gritted his teeth, watching the Black Fish getting closer and closer, and desperately wanted to kill this damned Black Fish.

However, the Black Fish was underwater, and he was Devil Fruit User, so there was nothing he could do.

There is only one way.

Gardino glanced at Mr. 2 Bon Clay and said, "We'll split into two groups. You get on the pirate ship I've repaired and approach from the other direction."

"That's a good idea." Upon hearing this, Mr. 2 Bon Clay beamed with joy and was about to jump onto the distant ship.

"Wait a moment."

Gardino called out to Mr. 2 Bon Clay, raised his hand, and wax spread out, extending and finally coalescing into two long spears.

"Here, take this."

Gardino handed the wax gun to Mr. 2 Bon Clay.

"A spear? I'm not used to that kind of thing."

As he spoke, Mr. 2 Bon Clay took the spear, for it was the only weapon that would allow him to attack from the ship into the sea.

Mr. 2 Bon Clay took the spear, jumped onto another ship, hoisted the sails, and charged toward the distant Quick Swan.

boom.

The Quick Swan was hit again in the distance.

After three impacts, the Swan had begun to sink, but at the rate of sinking, two ships were able to reach it and rescue the people on board.

But Gardino said, "Turn around, let's get out of here."

"Um?"

Mr. Christmas paused slightly, then asked, "Aren't we going over?"

"Of course I won't go."

Gardino squinted and said, "The ship Mr. 3 is on has been reinforced with wax, but my abilities are limited. I can't cover the entire ship, and unlike my ship, the hull and wax are perfectly integrated. I can only reinforce the weak points. The wax is very thin, and some areas are not covered. With the explosive power of that sea fish, if it rams it a few more times, that ship won't last long. So as long as it continues to attack, that ship will sink. What should we do then?"

"Let them come aboard my ship? This ship can't carry that many people, and we'll just have to abandon it anyway," Gardino said. "Besides, the weather here is unpredictable. The sky is full of dark clouds, and the wind has already picked up. There will be a storm soon. You can imagine what the storms on the Grand Line are like. It's usually fine, but there's a sea fish in the sea that sees us as enemies. At that time, we'll be in big trouble."

Gardino smiled and said, "More importantly, now that Mr. 3 is dead, can't we take his place?"

You're right.

After hearing Gardino's words at Mr. Christmas, she still asked worriedly, "How can we reply to Mr. 0?"

"We split up with Mr. 2 Bon Clay to search for MR5 and Miss Valentine, but we never met at sea."

Gardino laughed and said, "Besides, only our ship and Mr. 3's ship have Den Den Mushi, and his ship is sinking, so Mr. 0 won't know at all unless you tell him."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Mr. Christmas noticed Gardino's gaze, shivered, and quickly said, "I've wanted the MR3 position for a long time. That damn transvestite occupies two positions, and I've wanted to get rid of him for a long time."

"Then let's set off."

Gardino smiled, and the boat beneath his feet slowly started moving, heading into the distance.
