"Captain, there's a shootout ahead. We should hide and sail the ship away quickly!"
Du Ran said in a muffled voice to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu is strong, but Du Ran has awakened his strength talent as a crew member. If he really used all his strength to drag Fang Yu back to the safe crew room, he could do it.
But he wouldn't do that.
The three crew members also looked at Fang Yu with anxious eyes, not understanding why Fang Yu wouldn't return to his cabin to hide.
As long as they return to the room to hide, and then turn the ship around.
That armed ship is just an escape vessel and doesn't have the capability to threaten a cargo ship.
By then, everyone will be safe.
But Fang Yu didn't listen to everyone. He glanced at the three and spoke in a low voice:
"You guys go back to hide first, don't worry about me. Trust me, I'll be fine!"
The three were stunned, filled with confusion, silently cursing their captain for being so stubborn, not understanding why he wanted to join in this chaos.
The three stomped their feet, gritted their teeth, and exchanged glances.
Ultimately, they decided to stay on the deck and stand together with the captain.
The distance is so far... being shot... it shouldn't be fatal...
The three silently prayed in their hearts.
Seeing the three staying on deck, Fang Yu felt helpless inside.
Seriously, guys.
I have a shield, even two shots wouldn't matter, why are you acting like you're going to perish with me?
But Fang Yu said nothing, because at this moment the two ships had already drawn closer...
To be precise, the ship escaping in front noticed the Salted Fish and suddenly veered, like seeing a savior, heading towards the Salted Fish.
There was a man and a woman.
Inside the escape vessel in front, there was a man and a woman.
The man, about 40 years old, wore a suit. If not for the suit being torn during the escape, the exquisite fabric and craftsmanship would still be apparent.
The woman beside him was younger, only 20 years old, dressed in a gorgeous outfit, with gold thread embroidered on the fabric, clearly not an ordinary person.
As for the escape vessel behind chasing them, three men stood there, looking like the first officer and crew members.
The first officer had a pistol in his hand.
Presumably, he was the one who fired the shots earlier.
"Help!! Help!! Captain, save us!! The crew has mutinied, please save us!!"
The two in front shouted loudly, pleading to Fang Yu for help.
But Fang Yu tightly held the gun in his hand, his eyes flickering, constantly darting between the two ships, assessing the situation.
"Captain, you must not let the people behind get close. They've stolen the gems and will definitely try to escape by hijacking a ship that can sail for a long time. If they get close, they will definitely attack you!"
Though the man on the front ship looked disheveled, his eyes were calm, his words organized, and he spoke earnestly to Fang Yu.
Hmm?
Fang Yu listened to the man's words and looked towards the small boat pursuing them from behind.
The next moment, indeed...
The first officer on the pursuing boat raised his pistol and pointed it at Fang Yu.
"I order you, lower the rope and allow my two men to board the ship first, or I'll shoot."
Hearing the first officer's words, Du Ran and the other three crew members gasped, exchanged glances, and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes.
It's over, they've encountered a crew mutiny, a ship hijacking incident.
Though there are no pirates in the Safe Sea Region.
Occasionally, special events occur, leading to crew rebellion and ship hijacking.
None of the three expected to encounter such an unfortunate event.
Now, the first officer even had a gun aimed at the captain. If the captain made any move, he surely would shoot and kill the captain.
The captain is the soul of the ship; once the captain is dead, the ship would gradually collapse, and then all three would fall into the sea.
Captain... must not be harmed!
Luu Yuan gritted his teeth, spoke softly, "Captain, should I do as they say?"
But to the surprise of the three...
Fang Yu laughed instead.
"I was hesitating about who to trust. This first officer is quite helpful in directly showing me."
The three were stunned, feeling weird inside.
Seriously... brother...
At this time, you still have the mood to talk about this?
The gun is aimed at you, for crying out loud!
At that moment, in the terrified eyes of the three, not only did Fang Yu not feel afraid, he even raised the gun in his hand.
"Captain, no!!"
The three shouted frantically, but it was too late.
The moment the first officer below saw Fang Yu's action, he already pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two consecutive gunshots sounded, making the hearts of the three freeze.
It's over!
The opponent locked the aim, before you even raised your gun, the opponent had enough time to shoot, how could he allow you any threatening actions?!
The image of Fang Yu being shot twice in the head almost appeared in the minds of the three.
By then... the ship would collapse, and the three would probably face life-threatening danger too.
However...
Just then, a faint blue barrier instantly appeared around Fang Yu's body.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
The sound of metal colliding echoed, the two bullets visibly bounced off the faint blue shield and inside the shield, Fang Yu remained unharmed.
"This is... an Extraordinary Ability?!"
The three widened their eyes, looking at Fang Yu in disbelief.
A level 2 captain with an Extraordinary Ability?!
How is that possible?!
Even the others on the two escape vessels below had a sudden change of expression, shocked as they looked towards Fang Yu.
Is this an... Extraordinary Captain?!
But the situation in front of them changed rapidly, leaving little time for everyone to be surprised. Fang Yu, using the time provided by the shield, quickly raised the pistol in his hand, aimed at the first officer, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Ding!"
Four consecutive gunshots rang out mixed with a sound of metal collision, quickly echoing on the sea surface for a brief moment.
The first three sounds were from Fang Yu pulling the trigger, the bullets leaving the gun.
The last sound was from the first officer being hit, hurriedly firing back, then being blocked by the shield again.
Three bullets, accurately hitting the first officer's body.
But due to the sea breeze and distance, and because Fang Yu was a novice, the shots were not precise until Fang Yu fired one last shot, putting the first officer to death.
"An Extraordinary Captain!!"
The first officer's two men were filled with utmost terror inside.
Seeing the first officer dead, without hesitation, they quickly steered the escape vessel, trying to flee.
After the first officer died, despite the pistol still there, Fang Yu's displayed ability clearly showed he wasn't afraid of pistols.
This left the two crew members with no will to resist even after death.
Watching the two crew members trying to escape, Fang Yu continued to shoot.
But evidently... due to the distance, sea breeze, and novice issues, Fang Yu's accuracy was quite average.
After firing two more shots, his pistol ran out of bullets, and he only managed to hit one crew member's right leg, leaving him to watch as the escape boat sped away.
Fang Yu shook his head, but his goal wasn't to kill.
It was to save people... and trigger a native incident.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu looked at the escape boat below, and spoke softly to the three crew members:
"Ma, give me a few more bullets."
"Luu Yuan, lower the rope and save them."
"Du Ran, keep an eye on their actions, search them once they're on board to ensure they don't have any weapons!"
