Wow!

At this time, huge waves came, and under the impact of the big waves, the hull of Huluwan tilted nearly 20 degrees.

Just when the hull of the Gourd Maru was tilting, a large number of musketeers who heard the news and came for reinforcements appeared at the end of the corridors behind Ogata.

Ogata roughly counted the total number of people at about 10 people.

One look at these musketeers who came for reinforcements showed that they must be quite familiar with life on the ship.

Even though the ship tilted so much under the pounding of huge waves, their feet were still firmly planted on the deck and they arranged their gun formations at Ogata in an orderly manner.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...

At the same moment when these musketeers opened fire, Omoto quickly dodged to the side and hid behind a nearby artillery piece.

Click, click, click...

The projectile hit the steel gun body of the artillery, making a sharp friction sound of metal hitting metal.

At this moment, Ogata, who was using the artillery as a cover to temporarily avoid the first round of fire from the musketeers, suddenly discovered that the deck under his feet was tilted due to the tilt of the ship's hull due to the waves.

And he was standing directly above the skewed deck, while the musketeers who came to support were standing directly below the deck.

The battlefield situation has become very strange. These musketeers are attacking Ogata from above, and Ogata is attacking these musketeers.

The artillery piece that Ogata is using as a bunker happens to be facing the musketeers, right above their heads...

With such a terrain, there is no reason not to make use of it.

Ogata raised his right hand and slashed at the two ropes beside him.

These two ropes are the traction ropes used to hold the artillery and prevent the artillery from running too far backward due to recoil after firing...

The traction rope used to hold the cannon was cut off, and the cannon, which Ogata used as a cover, immediately smashed toward the musketeers along the sloping deck like a runaway wild horse.

Screams of terror replaced the sound of gunfire.

The musketeers no longer cared about whether there was a gun formation or not, and fled in all directions.

Their escape speed was quite fast, with only one unlucky guy not escaping immediately.

How heavy is a cannon whose entire body is made of steel?

The unlucky guy who was hit by the cannon because he didn't escape in time was hit with blood from seven holes while "hugging" the cannon and being "built" into the wall of the ship behind it together with the cannon. .

Although this artillery did not cause too much damage to the enemy, the goal Ogata wanted to achieve was still achieved.

He only hoped to use this artillery to destroy their gun array.

The ship was still tilting, and Ogata launched a physically condescending attack.

He jumped up, and with the help of gravity, he dodged at a dizzying speed in front of a lone or musketeer who had just left the team to avoid the falling artillery.

Swing your sword and kill with one blow, all in one go.

Without the gun array, the musketeers who could not shoot together could only fight independently, and their combat effectiveness declined exponentially.

"Damn..." A certain musketeer cursed loudly while raising the flintlock gun in his hand that had just been reloaded.

He just had time to raise the muzzle of the gun

Whoosh!

The sound of breaking wind, completely different from the sound of projectiles flying, filled this person's throat.

"Uh...!" The musketeer felt a tearing pain in his throat. He raised his trembling hand, touched his throat, inserted a stick into his throat and stabbed him directly. Two pierced shurikens.

He subconsciously wanted to see who had thrown this shuriken.

But his limbs that had lost control and his vision that was rapidly dimming could no longer allow him to do this.

"Finally climbed up..." With the corner of his eye, he glanced at the direction in which the shuriken that helped him deal with a musketeer flew out, and a faint smile appeared on Ogata's face.

The person who threw this shuriken was Hatsuko.

Hatsumi, who had just climbed up along the chain thrown by Ogata, was breathing heavily now.

At the muzzle behind her, the stronger Makimura was constantly inhaling, trying to make his belly smaller, and he was struggling to get into the ship along the muzzle.

The remaining musketeers who were still alive also noticed that enemy reinforcements were coming.

"Quick!" Someone raised the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at Makimura, who was still stuck at the muzzle and could not enter or leave. "Stop him..."

Whoosh!

Before the man could finish speaking, another shuriken was thrown by Chu Guang and pierced his throat, leaving him with no chance to speak the rest of his words.

Previously, when Hatsumi asked Ogata and Genichi and others to take her to pursue Toyotomi, in order to convince Ogata and others, they all said, "She is very confident in her own strength and will not hold you back."

According to Ogata's observations so far, Hatsumi's words are indeed not lying.

Ogata didn't know what Hatsuko's accomplishments were in other weapons, but just based on Hatsuko's skill in throwing shurikens, Ogata had to give him a very high rating.

Throwing weapons like shurikens are one of the most suitable weapons for women like Hatsumi, whose muscles are weaker than men.

For this small throwing weapon, "skill" is far more important than "power".

There is no need to engage in face-to-face confrontation with the enemy. Even if you have weak muscles, as long as you throw accurately enough, you can still pose a great threat to the enemy.

Throat, eyes... These parts of the human body are difficult to exercise, so whether they are strong or weak, they are equally fragile.

Even the shuriken thrown by a woman can still cause huge damage to the enemy as long as it can hit these parts.

Even if Ogata is the only one fighting here, these musketeers have no reason to win, not to mention that there is still a Hatsuko who can provide long-range support?

With Hatsuguang's cooperation, Ogata quickly knocked down all standing enemies within his field of vision with the force of the wind and waves.

After Ogata and Hatsumi cleared the surrounding area, Makimura, who had been stuck at the muzzle of the gun due to his strong body, was finally lined up behind him, waiting for the joint push of Genichi and Mamiya who were waiting to quickly enter the ship.

got off and squeezed into the cabin.

"Hahaha!" Genichi, the last one to board the ship, immediately joked to himself in a half-joking tone after entering the cabin along the cannon port, "Fortunately, it is spring now and the weather is not too cold, otherwise it would be

My whole body is wet and I will die from the cold."

"Lord Genichi." Ogata held up his two swords and walked quickly towards Genichi and the others, "You are not injured, are you?"

"Except for accidentally drinking too much sea water, which makes me feel a little nauseous now, everything is fine with us." Yuan Yi said lightly, "For some reason just now, many of the guns on the other battleship misfired, causing our

The crossing went smoothly."

"Many of the guns on the other battleship have misfired?" Ogata frowned slightly, looking confused.

"Yeah. I don't know what happened." Yuan Yi shrugged, "But no matter what, it will benefit us."

After briefly bringing up the topic of "some of Nikki Maru's artillery misfiring due to unknown reasons," Genichi changed the subject and asked Ogata:

"Ogata-kun, did you find anything on this ship before we boarded it?"

"No." Ogata shook his head, "I found nothing. I didn't meet anyone suspected to be Toyotomi Nobuhide, nor did I find Miss Lin."

"...Ha." Yuan Yi smiled mockingly, "Xiaolin and Nobuhide must not be on another boat. I'm full of sea water. If conditions permit, I don't want to drink anymore in the short term.

Already."

…

…

Naturally, it was impossible for Ogata and the others to know the internal layout of Nikki Maru and Gyokumaru.

Chu Guang had never boarded these two ships before.

Therefore, their way of finding their way is very simple and crude: wherever there are many people, they go there.

Although this pathfinding method is crude, it is surprisingly effective on such a warship.

As they rushed to every place where there were many people, they kept shouting Lin's name, trying to find Lin's location. Genichi and the others knocked on the doors of every room along the way, trying to see if they could get into a certain room.

, and found that figure that was extremely familiar to them.

Ogata + Genichi + Mamiya + Makimura + Hatsumi... Melee, long-range, everything is available. On this Gourd Pill, it's basically killing people when someone blocks it, and killing Buddha when someone blocks it.

Of course, they wouldn't just go looking for someone stupidly.

After Genichi and others successfully reunited with Ogata, they tried to arrest many people and asked them: Where is Toyotomi Nobuhide? Have you seen a short young girl?

Faced with the question asked by Ogata and others, the answers given by these arrested people were almost exactly the same: Nobuhide Toyotomi had never seen a short girl on Nikki Maru.

Listening to their answers... Ogata and the others felt as if their hearts were "thumping"...

Toyotomi Nobuhide was not on this ship. They had never seen a short girl... Such an answer was the last answer Ogata and others wanted to hear after they had gone through so much trouble to board the ship.

…

However, to be on the safe side and not let go of the possibility that "Lin might be on this ship," Ogata and the others chose to conduct a thorough investigation on the ship.

They started looking for people from the bottom, and worked their way up one level at a time.

The warship is not a hotel and does not have that many rooms, so Ogata and the others searched very quickly.

They searched the cabins of Hulu Wan one after another at a very fast speed.

But until now... they have not been able to find the person they are looking for...
To be continued...
