Boarding the Pirate Ship
"Seven Hells! What are those things?!"
"A fishing boat! Why is a fishing boat faster than my sailboat?!"
At the mouth of the Mander, many captains and sailors witnessed this astonishing scene.
The small fishing boat weaved among the other sailboats, even achieving a drifting effect due to its extremely high speed.
When encountering a section of the sea with dense traffic, the fishing boat miraculously traced a white zigzag pattern, dodging three ships in a row. Such an unbelievable movement on the dark sea was truly astonishing.
Could it be that Sir Willas tamed a fish that could pull a boat?
Some captains who were familiar with House Tyrell inexplicably thought of this possibility.
As they approached the port, they saw more than a dozen warships sailing out aggressively. Someone stood at the bow of the ships and kept banging a huge bronze gong, signaling the ships in front to make way.
Seeing this, the captain thought to himself, "If Tyrell is planning to seize that small fishing boat, then it's too late."
By this time, Jon had already rowed his famous little fishing boat to the sea and was rushing towards Euron's Silence. Euron suddenly accelerated.
Even though Jon is already very fast, he might still not be able to catch up at his current speed.
[Giant Strength]: Remaining upgrade attempts: 2
Jon, seeing that he only had two upgrade attempts left, didn't hesitate and immediately put them all into the Giant Strength attribute.
Regardless of whether Falia has Blackfyre or Targaryen blood, Alerie definitely does.
If Euron were to actually hatch a dragon or some other monster, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After receiving the Golden Giant Strength attribute, Jon clearly felt a leap in the density of his muscles and bones. His weight at least doubled without any change in his body shape, and even the waterline of the fishing boat beneath his feet increased slightly.
After his body was strengthened, Jon increased the speed at which he rowed the boat. The small fishing boat cut through the waves, and even the sea breeze blowing in his face forced Ghost to lower her body and squint her scarlet eyes slightly.
About fifteen minutes later, Jon spotted the Silence two or three leagues away. Its black sails billowed in the sea breeze as it sped northward at an incredible speed.
Moreover, Jon could see Raven circling and flying around Euron's ship. The Raven quickly spotted the small fishing boat's unusually fast speed, and Euron also came onto the deck.
He stared wide-eyed as the fishing boats, braving the wind and waves, drew ever closer!
He then removed his blindfold, revealing a dark red eye beneath it.
Two eyes, one red and one black, stared at the fishing boat that was constantly approaching him. He finally realized that what he was seeing was not an illusion.
Clearly, Jon's superhuman strength had greatly shocked him.
As Jon approached, without Jon giving any verbal orders, sailors immediately drew their bows and prepared to fire.
A dozen or so arrows were shot out, but most of them fell into the sea, while the rest were knocked away by Jon's sword.
His mute sailors fired several more rounds, but they easily dodged them. Jon then rowed the oars a dozen times with all his might to keep the fishing boat moving, and then threw out a rope, using the thick, four-meter-long oar as a weapon under his arm as he began to board the boat.
Just as Euron found Jon's rope and was about to cut it, Ghost, who was still on the small fishing boat, suddenly leaped up. Jon then pushed off the hull, causing his body to swing into the air. Ghost, stepping on Jon's shoulders, jumped onto the deck first and pounced on Euron.
Euron had to fend off Ghost's attack first, and while Ghost bought Jon a few seconds, Euron also climbed onto the deck.
Seeing a man and a wolf board his ship in such an unbelievable way, even Euron, who considered himself knowledgeable and experienced, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
But Euron quickly calmed himself down and said, "Hmph, Stark, you're in great shape. How about you consider joining them? Hmm?" Euron pointed to the mute sailors around him with their blank, lifeless eyes.
The mute sailors stepped forward almost simultaneously, their movements perfectly synchronized, as if they were one person.
Although he was wary of the terrifying power that Gan Jon had displayed, he was not so intimidated as to back down.
Instead, he thought that if he could possess Jon's body, he would essentially have gained a formidable henchman.
Of course, he was only trying to provoke Jon and find an opening. Euron believed that Jon must have used some kind of magic, otherwise how could an ordinary person's body be so strong?
"Euron! Jump off the ship now, and I might consider sparing your life, otherwise—" Jon said, making a sweeping motion with his three-meter-long oar, which whistled mournfully as it swung, its destructive power undeniable.
He then grabbed the end of the oar and thrust it diagonally toward his head, arrogantly displaying his power in this way.
In fact, Jon didn't know Euron well and didn't know if he could kill him. If he could scare him away, that would be the best outcome. The two of them went back and forth, provoking each other, neither willing to back down an inch.
Euron narrowed his eyes, and Jon, with his Divine Vision, "Saw several arrows flying towards him and Ghost."
Because of the ability to predict movement trajectories, he simultaneously controlled both his own body and Bai Ghost's. Ghost dodged and weaved, managing to remain unscathed despite the dense attacks.
Euron utterly astonished. If it weren't for the fact that those mute sailors couldn't possibly disobey his orders, he would have even thought these guys were putting on an act.
But this did not diminish his confidence; on the contrary, it further fueled his ferocity and malice. A group of mute sailors approached Jon with fishing nets made of tanned animal hides.
Jon sneered. He had seen this kind of tactic far too many times. He sent Ghost rushing toward a sailor who was about to draw his bow again, and Ghost bit his throat.
Jon, meanwhile, wielded a nearly four-meter-long oar, sending the fishing net flying, along with two or three puppet sailors.
"Break through their net-like attack," Jon said, charging toward Euron.
The thick oars made a mournful whistling sound when they were swung. Euron, despite being evil and possessing some magical abilities, still had the body of an ordinary human.
His martial arts training instincts made him want to swing his sword to block, but reason told him he should dodge quickly.
Euron chose to dodge at the last moment, and the oars slammed heavily onto the deck with a loud bang.
"Stark, do you really think you can defeat this whole ship of mine by yourself?!" Euron said coldly in a gloomy voice. About forty sailors surrounded Jon, most of them fully armed. Not only the sailors, but also Euron's Raven were staring intently at Jon.
Suddenly, as the Raven simultaneously spread their wings, preparing to take flight and pounce on Jon, Jon's Raven also flew in from afar.
However, Euron seemed to have anticipated all of this, and the two Raven quickly became entangled in battle. The Raven ' black feathers fell, making it seem as if black snow was falling from above.
The mute sailors charged at Jon almost simultaneously, but Jon, with his immense strength and the four-meter oar in his hand, smashed the brains of the mute sailor who was at the forefront with a single blow.
One person's head was even blown off, scalding blood splattering out, and the black feathers fluttering above made the scene even more terrifying; only hell could produce such a battle.
However, driven by Euron, these mute sailors knew nothing of fear, and did not even take a step back. They charged forward one after another like mindless insects.
This tactic would guarantee victory against any skilled opponent, but it was ineffective against Jon, who wielded a long weapon.
He even had the strength to launch an attack on Euron while he was still defending himself.
Euron's plan for his trip to Highgarden was perfect; he even prepared a backup plan.
If it weren't for Jon, he would have wiped out a large group of nobles at the wedding and then kidnapped Margaery and her daughter, as well as Falia.
Even if he failed, it didn't matter; he actually gave Mace a lamp beforehand and then seduced Falia before the wedding.
Moreover, she left the wedding early, using a stand-in to take her place, thus gracefully making a clean exit.
But to everyone's surprise, Jon displayed a terrifying power that was completely unreasonable.
He held a nearly four-meter-long oar and wielded it with incredible speed and precision. Even though Euron best to control the puppet sailors and make them work together more closely, he couldn't gain any advantage.
Click- Click-
Bones and debris piled on the deck were smashed to pieces by the oars. Euron realized something was wrong; if this continued, all his puppet sailors would be lost here.
The loss of over thirty sailors at Highgarden was already heartbreaking enough; acquiring another batch like that would require considerable effort. He quickly said, "Stark, I'll return Alerie to you. Consider that bastard daughter a gift from me, bought with Dragon Egg, okay?!"
Euron tried to persuade him to compromise, but Jon gave him a somewhat puzzling answer, "You've called me Stark the whole time, which pleases me, but I don't like the trouble you caused at my wedding."
Jon's voice was full of provocation and excitement. He was now in the upper hand and had the advantage, and Loras and the others would be arriving soon.
Rescuing Alerie is a done deal; now he not only wants to rescue Alerie and Falia, but also Euron's ship.
He knew the Dragonbinder and the Valyrian steel Armor were on this ship; how could he possibly let such treasures slip by?!
