After listening to Shawen's explanation of the Baladine Bloodsail, everyone was enlightened. Sheyan earnestly nodded his head and replied.
"I understand now. Therefore, when we encounter such vile weather as a typhoon, do we have to remove the Baladine Bloodsail? Or increase the ship's weight to resist the winds and waves? "
Shawen impatiently waved his hand and shouted.
"That's for sure! All of you scram now, I wish to rest for a while. Hurry up and leave. Oh right, remember to get someone to brew me a cup of tea, got it? China's tea leaves, add salt and lemon. Also, I'm hungry, get me a medium-rare steak. I still have many matters to attend to when I wake up. "
"For example, there are several decent components on this ship, but they were carelessly placed in the wrong positions. Also, there's the Greenland lethal weapon! Which idiot gave it a harpoon cannon on its own accord?! If you don't know, then don't pretend to know, alright? Lastly, I would like to suggest a slight modification to the exterior of this ship. That way, we can still obtain a certain boost in speed. "
At present, Shawen obviously didn't know what a wind resistance coefficient was, yet he could come up with the same conclusion as modern science. One could tell that this brat's reputation wasn't undeserved.
Facing the boastful Shawen, Sheyan could only shrug his shoulders and 'scram' helplessly. This was something that couldn't be helped, after all, capable individuals would always have their own quirks. After returning to the captain's cabin for a short rest, Ol 'Seadog requested for Sheyan's next course of action. Without much thought, Sheyan blurted out.
"Of course it's to the Satmos Gulf."
At this moment, Nanuke suddenly interjected.
"Don't tell me boss you're interested in those freaks, the Chupacabra? Amongst those damned legendary freaks, the mermaids have the highest value. A pearl condensed from their tears can be exchanged for 10 ounces of gold. Even those boastful gentlemen in London salons would fork out gold guineas for the tusks of humpback whales …... but those poor Chupacabras, apart from the occasional purchase of them by alchemists, don't have any motivation to take risks and hunt them. "
Sheyan didn't intend to explain to his subordinates that he chose the Satmos Gulf due to time constraints. That place was the closest to their current location. Hence, he only replied indifferently.
"There's always a first time for everything. Set sail! Nanuke, some say you're the most powerful user of the Greenland Murder Weapon, but others say you're the weakest. I believe you'll use your actions to answer that question, won't you? "
Nanuke clenched his fists. The black and blue tattoos on his thick arms trembled as his muscles swelled.
"When the time comes, you can use your eyes to see. Boss, I'm a person who doesn't like to talk about sex."
"I'm looking forward to it," Sheyan said calmly.

"Full left rudder!!!"
"Lower three sails."
"Oarsmen, increase your strength!"
"A little more, a little more and I'll catch this idiot!"
“.....”
The sound of the sea wind, waves, roars, and chants intertwined and covered the deck. The crew of the ship were operating precisely like machines. Every single one of them was like a qualified component, pieced together to produce the greatest output. The deep sea was forcefully crushed against the bottom of the ship, while the raging winds and waves couldn't shake the sturdy ship in the slightest.
Sheyan stood at the bow of the Dingyuan. Beside him was the Greenland Murder Weapon with a long history. The design of this weapon was rather avant-garde. Apart from its material and black magic effects, it truly resembled the missile turrets of the warships of the modern era. Naturally, it concealed a murderous intent.
Under the guidance of a professional like Shawen, the Greenland Murder Weapon was no longer equipped with a spear. Instead, it was equipped with the curved ribs of a great whale tempered by Taitish's black magic! It was named the 'Whalebone Harpoon', as it spun out at high speed, drawing an extremely bizarre trajectory before piercing deep into the body of its prey.
If it didn't have its own unique style, how could the Greenland Murder Weapon brazenly slay the captain of one of the three legendary warships, the Queen Anne's Revenge?
Of course, such a bizarre trajectory and ammunition required an even higher requirement for the shooter. Nevertheless, Nanuke was indeed exceedingly talented in this aspect. He merely used two days to completely familiarize himself with its operation. At present, the skeletons of two Chupacabras, one large and one small, were the best proof of Nanuke's capabilities!
At present, Nanuke's upper body was bare. His sturdy muscles were smeared with sweat and oil paint. His originally malevolent countenance was now distinctly savage. His eyes were strangely shut, but his eyeballs were abnormally twitching violently. One could even observe his eyelids twitching incessantly. It almost made people worry that his eyeballs would explode in the next second.
All of a sudden, the surface of the Greenland Murder Harpoon flickered with a black brilliance. Closely following that, the air at the tip of the Harpoon started swirling rapidly. Then, one could observe a white shadow flying out, leaving behind strands of black smoke trails in the air! Then, it pierced deeply into the sea!
Several seconds later, massive amounts of bubbles floated out from the azure sea. Closely following that, the nearby sea region surged as though a tremendous force was surging out from the depths of the sea. Then, massive amounts of maroon blood gushed out and dyed the surface of the sea red! Under the beautiful contrast of sunlight, blue sky, white clouds and the jade-green sea, this scene was exceptionally mournful and bizarre.
Soon after, 50 metres in front of the Dingyuan, a massive shadow emerged from the water. Like a clump of dark clouds concealed beneath the water, it drifted towards the Dingyuan at a seemingly slow speed. Trailing behind it was a trail of dense redness. An incomparably incisive gigantic dorsal fin floated out from the water surface like a cleaver, even reflecting the rays of the sun. Then, it tore through the water surface and charged towards the Dingyuan at a rapid pace!
This monstrosity had already used this method to sink numerous similar ships! Following that, it was already anticipating the moment when it bared its razor-sharp fangs and greedily devoured the drowning crew; using their flesh and blood to nourish its wounds.
Nevertheless, to the pirates who had already hunted down two Chupacabras, this scene wasn't foreign to them at all. They hurriedly clung onto a sturdy object beside them, while simultaneously whistling and yelling.
"Little darling, hurry over."
"You'll discover that your most powerful weapon is as fragile as China's porcelain, but not as precious."
"Oh ~ ~ ~ I can't wait!"
A violent collision occurred in a flash. That rigid bony fin collided with the bottom of the Dingyuan's bow. Amidst the surging white waves, it forcefully scraped out a series of sparks that extended for over a metre!
Following that, the Dingyuan's massive and heavy hull pressed down. Kacha! The dense white fins were bent and broken under the pressure! As for the bottom of the ship that was sliced apart, it merely left behind a white scar!
The giant fins, which were three meters tall and five to six meters long, were crushed into three pieces. They flew twenty to thirty meters to the left and right, cutting through a few waves at high speed before landing on the surface of the sea. There was a desolate feeling of being carried away by the waves.
The Chupacabra's original objective was to directly slice this ship into two, before utilizing its monstrous strength to flip it over. However, its plan had deviated from the start, and it was an enormous deviation!!
Not only was its dorsal fin unable to slice apart the ship's bow, it was instead crushed into pieces!!
Following that, that pitch-black ship came crashing down with an indescribable momentum, as though it was a mountain range. When the Chupacabra's flesh came into contact with the Dingyuan's hull, the ashen veins on the ship's surface seemed to have come alive as they stuck closely to it. The Chupacabra howled mournfully, but the flesh that came into contact with it was forcibly ripped apart. Then, it emitted white fumes as it melted away!
Even though the Chupacabra's body was equivalent to a third of the Dingyuan's size, and its monstrous strength was incomparably astonishing, the Dingyuan still maintained a sense of stability from the previous collision. It merely swayed a few times, and not to mention an ordinary ship, even a legendary warship might not be able to match up to such a formidable balance!
Even after suffering such a huge loss, the Chupacabra was still a sentient creature. Without a second word, it dove into the depths of the sea.
This was the greatest difficulty of hunting a legendary marine creature. As long as one could defeat a legendary creature on land, one could pursue it relentlessly even if it were to flee, before finally beheading it.
However, even if one could suppress a legendary marine creature with overwhelming might, it was still rather difficult to prevent it from fleeing into the depths of the sea. Unless one could trap it in its nest, or capture its young.
Of course, it wasn't as though there weren't any hot-tempered men who were waiting to sell the flesh, bones, intestines, and other parts of the fleeing fella for money. Once they realized that their blood-soaked labors and painstaking preparations were about to go down the drain, they would rush into the water in hot pursuit. Naturally, everyone could guess the tragic outcome at this moment. The combat prowess of a wounded creature in the water would be greatly enhanced, while a human's combat prowess would be greatly reduced underwater. Hence, the pursuers would never be able to surface again …..
Nevertheless, disregarding the fact that Nanuke was an expert hunter of legendary creatures, just the 'Greenland Lethal Weapon' alone had already anticipated such a scenario. Such a lethal weapon that had undergone the test of time and was tempered through countless tempering, was the natural nemesis of various legendary marine creatures!
