They didn't have time to put on their clothes, or they wore coats, or pajamas, or bare feet, and ran to the window to look at the outside world.

Half of them quickly saw the huge three-masted sailing ship that did not conform to common sense, saw the three pitch-black canvases, and saw the dim yellow clusters staggering in the dark environment.

Combined with the howling wind, the crashing raindrops, and the night sky where the red moon and stars cannot be seen, many passengers only felt that the other party seemed to be driving out of hell, with unspeakable terror and majesty.

"Black Emperor"!

After a short period of sluggishness and panic, such a term appeared in their minds.

Anyone who has had experience at sea and lived in the port cities of the major colonies more or less knows the existence of such a pirate ship!

"Oh, the storm is with you and me."

"May the goddess bless you!"

"Steam on!"

...

Prayers sounded subconsciously, full of fear and helplessness.

These passengers know very well that the owner of the "Black Emperor" is the one with the highest bounty on the five seas. A passenger ship's guns and crew are capable of fighting it.

This means they are about to fall into the hands of pirates!

Many women can't help but imagine the scene of being bullied by pirates and being trafficked to a strange place. Some trembled, some gave a soft knee, slipped from behind the window and knelt on the ground, and some hurriedly found daggers and revolvers. , I don�t know if they want to resist, or they are unwilling to face the worst ending. Some can�t find weapons, so they directly move the coat rack to their side.

The performance of the men was not much better, except for a small number of people who took out weapons and tried to organize resistance, the rest were either sluggish, looking for a place to hide, or cursing the damn passenger ship and the "King of the Five Seas".

Finally, the captain's voice reached everyone's ears through some kind of loudspeaker device or means: "Quiet! Don't be afraid!

"The owner of the 'Black Emperor' has made his own laws. Unlike other pirates, he and his men only rob property and do nothing else!"

Such words were repeated several times in a row, and the panicked passengers finally calmed down a little and were no longer so scared.

Compared with what they imagined just now, being alive and not being bullied is already a very good result.

After dozens of seconds, some passengers thought that they had worked so hard for so many years and finally had some savings, and now they would lose all of them.

Several of them even borrowed money to start a business. If they could not bring back the money this time, their family members might have to live on the streets and rely on workhouses.

Thinking of this, they quickly took action, hiding the money in various hidden places, hoping to keep a little bit of it. After doing all this, they each gripped their weapons, ready to die with the pirates at the critical moment.

Wild beasts will fight back when they are dying, let alone human beings?

At this time, many pirates on the "Dark Emperor" were already waiting on the side according to the order, always ready to jump on the "prey" after the distance was shortened.

Their second officer, "Viscount Fearful" Bird Mustang was holding up a binoculars, observing the opposite passenger ship nonchalantly, silently calculating how long it would take for the two sides to get closer.

The great pirate with a bounty of more than 10,000 pounds was wearing an Intis-style shirt with intricate patterns on the cuffs and neckline, and a dark red captain's suit, as if he was waiting for the banquet to start instead of a robbery.

Suddenly, his eyes blurred, and he couldn't see the passenger ship!

Bird Mustang hurriedly moved the binoculars to look for it,

But in that direction, there is nothing but waves blown by strong winds and bald eagles who like to hunt fish in heavy rain.

Such a large steam-sail hybrid passenger ship just disappeared! JrNovels.com
