Shura White Tiger in Navigation - Chapter 69
Even the deck of the Whitebeard Pirates’ ship, the Moby Dick, was full of pirates, and several captains of the Whitebeard Pirates could be vaguely seen in the crowd.
They all looked up at the four large screens on the top of the Moby Dick, which were composed of video Den Den Mushi and broadcast the real-time status of the race.
The race had not yet started, and only a starting line could be seen in the video. Not a single participating ship had yet arrived.
“”Everyone!” The sound of the horn spread across the coast,”Are you all ready? The event of this celebration, the Battle for Domination around the Island! It’s about to begin!”
“Oh! I’m ready!”
“Let’s get started. We’re going to watch a bunch of rookies fight each other.”
“Hahaha, that’s right, look at what these newcomers are made of, fighting on the sea!”
The onlookers responded enthusiastically.
“It’s about to start.”The pirates on the Moby Dick also began to look for suitable viewing positions.
Whitebeard was still sitting in his familiar big chair, occupying the best position on the deck. He could see the big screen of the video phone when he looked up.
There were various chairs distributed next to him, and the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates sat on them. Of course, most of the pirates didn’t care at all and sat directly on the deck, and some sat on the railings, ready to watch the game with relish.
“Come on, bring the snacks. We can eat them while watching the game.” Thatch called the pirates to bring out pots of food.
“Thank you, Sachi, that’s very thoughtful. Marco took the plate of fried chicken with a smile.
“Bring me some wine, gulalala, we still need some wine at this time.” Whitebeard picked up the wine glass and called out.
“Hahahaha, Dad.”
“”Yes, yes, bring the wine.”
The pirates cheered.
Whitebeard watched this scene with a smile. This was the life he wanted most…
The broadcast continued, and the host introduced the rules.
“Everyone, now our round-the-island battle has officially entered the preparation stage. Our Whitebeard Pirates have prepared wooden barrels for you. Participants can choose barrels of different sizes according to their own body shapes.”
“The race officially starts at 2 o’clock. Before that, participants can use wine barrels to transform into boats. Please note that the team that has finished the transformation first can go to the starting line to grab the most advantageous position. The race will start when the time comes. The team that does not reach the starting line at that time will be deemed to have forfeited the qualification for the race.”
“Please note that you are not allowed to rush to get a spot at the starting line. It is first come first served. If you rush to get a spot maliciously, you will be disqualified from the competition!”
“Well, let’s start collecting barrels now!”
The host pointed to a pile of barrels on the side, where 20 or 30 pirates were helping to distribute the barrels.
“Oh oh oh! Go! To go around the island, the position closest to the inner circle of the starting line is the most advantageous, we must grab it!”
“Come on, come on, we can’t slow down at this moment, the starting position is very important”
“We go first! The winner of this tournament will get a devil fruit! This one must be ours!”
The contestants rushed to the place where the barrels were distributed.
“Let’s go too.” Rogers and Andre also went to get their barrels.
More than 20 pirates were distributing barrels together, so the speed was still very fast. Rogers got their three barrels in four or five minutes, found an open space at the back, and handed the barrels to the shipwright of their cargo ship.
They didn’t know how to modify the ship, so they just handed it over to the shipwright.
“Mr. Boatman, the boat we want, in addition to the basic hull, must have an outer wheel on each side, it doesn’t matter if it’s a little simple, and two oars. Rogers said his request
“Two outer wheels? That’s easy, leave it to me. The boatman is experienced, so this job is easy for him.
“The longer the modification time is, the better the ship will be (abab), but you can only grab the outer position. When you go around the island, the inner circle will definitely have greater advantages. Early and late have their own advantages, which is fair.”Andre commented
“Hey, can you please take care of our ship?” Rogers was speechless.
“You are the main force this time, I am just here to help you.”Andre shrugged. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“All right, then you can be a paddling tool.” Rogers said. Andre nodded.
Within five minutes, someone had modified his own boat and came to the starting line, occupying the innermost circle, with the bow of the boat close to the starting line.
The first one was the simplest style of boat, with a basic hull and two oars.
Later, more and more boats came to the starting line, but fortunately, with the warning of the Whitebeard Pirates, they did not rush for positions, and lined up one by one from the inside to the outside.
The boats came in all kinds of styles, with the simplest hull, some with propellers, and even more powerful ones had modified a hand-cranked foreign ship in a short time. It can only be said that everyone was showing off their talents.
Rogers’s boat modification was not slow, but because they had to queue up to go to the sea, by the time they came to the starting line with their boats, they were already more than 100 boats, a long distance away from the innermost circle.
“There are still a lot of people participating in the competition. Rogers stood on their wooden boat and looked around. He roughly counted nearly 200 small boats.
“Kid, you’re so young and you’re a pirate, have you grown up yet?” The ship on the right of Rogers teased.
“That’s right, we won’t show mercy later, hahaha.” The ship on the left also joked[]
Rogers looked too young, not even fifteen years old, and although they were also rookie pirates, they were at least adults.��
“We are all new pirates, so we just need to rely on our own abilities.” Rogers said calmly.
“Hahahaha, then we’re welcome!”
“”Little boy, don’t cry if you lose later.”
The pirates’ teasing remained unchanged.
As the time approached two o’clock, most of the boats had already arrived at the starting line, and many had just set off from the shore. The team participating in the competition was getting longer and longer.
The Whitebeard Pirates had been watching the video screens.
There were four big screens, with four Den Den Mushi. Four pirates sat on birds, flying in the air, filming the starting line from four angles.
The pictures changed back and forth, and Rogers and his boat appeared on the screen.
“Dad, that young boy is Rogers, the mythical beastman. Marco said to Whitebeard, pointing his finger at Rogers.
“He is indeed very young, a little kid.” Whitebeard grinned.
