But even if he was out of breath and had a splitting headache, he would use his treasure to protect other pirate crew members without hesitation.
Even so, Hector would find the flaw and use his ability again.
"So why do you want an old man like me who likes to slack off to fight this guy..."
Hector had a sad face.
To be honest, what Hector hated most was fighting with people like this.
Too hard, too persistent.
……
Drake, who paid attention to this side from time to time, could obviously see Lin Qi's reluctance.
She knew without a doubt how much pressure Lin Qi was under. After all, even she had been protected by Lin Qi's treasure, let alone other people.
One can imagine how desperate Lin Qi was.
The current situation is that Hector is being held back by Lin Qi, and Eric and Mary are being held back by themselves and their younger brothers, and they have barely reached a balance.
Blackbeard's warship is about to approach the Golden Deer. If they really wait for them to come up, I'm afraid the situation will become one-sided, right?
but--
"Huh, fortunately, everything is ready..."
Drake looked up at the sky and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Say it.
Then something fell from the sky.
It dripped onto Lin Qi's hand.
Is this... rain?
Lin Qi looked in a daze at the increasingly dense raindrops falling from the sky. In just a few seconds, the deck of the ship was wet.
The dark clouds blocked the sun's rays at some point, shrouding the entire sea in darkness. A strong wind blew, and the originally calm sea surface instantly became turbulent with billowing waves.
In this chaos, the Queen Anne's Revenge, which was originally approaching, had to gradually move away.
But it was clearly sunny before, how could it suddenly become like this?
Everyone's eyes involuntarily shifted to a certain navigator.
"Since you all say this thing can cause miracles, then it's normal for me to create a storm, right?"
Drake held the golden holy grail in his hand with a dashing smile on his face.
……

Chapter 49 Safe Landing.
But only a dozen seconds.
The wind speed increased dramatically, and the strong wind swept across the sea with astonishing force like a roaring beast, raising layer after layer of huge waves, which rushed towards the ship one after another, hitting the hull and making a deafening sound.
Lightning flashed frequently in the dark clouds, and each flash illuminated the sea area dominated by wind and rain, followed by a thunderous roar that echoed across the entire ocean.
In such an environment, even if Blackbeard was driving his Noble Ship, he had to fold the sails to prevent himself from being blown into the sea by the waves.
But Drake did the opposite.
"Boys! Pull up the sails and get ready to run!"
Amidst the lightning, thunder, wind and rain, Drake grinned and shouted to his crew.
Completely ignoring the rain water flowing into his mouth.
“Oh——!”×N.
The pirates laughed as loudly as Drake did, as if they were mocking the great power of heaven and earth.
"What a bunch of lunatics..."
Mary complained silently, then decisively jumped off the Golden Hart and landed on Blackbeard's ship.
This is already the second time.
In such a storm, they didn't reef the sails but instead held them open. But Mary still couldn't understand what was going on in these guys' heads.
Is it true that the boat won’t capsize if we do this?
It's not impossible that the entire ship disintegrated.
Amid the strong winds and huge waves, the Golden Deer sometimes drifted on the sea and sometimes soared into the air, like a hell-level roller coaster. The ordinary pirates on the ship could only hold on to something to stabilize their bodies to prevent themselves from being thrown off the ship.
The entire ship was constantly making unbearable cries, especially the sail that caught the strong wind and the mast that fixed it, which were creaking. One of them became a "balloon" and the other was bent in the direction of the wind, as if it would break in the wind in the next second.
In this environment, Eric, the clumsy berserker, was the first to lose his balance without understanding the situation.
With a look of extreme panic, he fell into the water.
Seeing that everyone on his side had fled, Hector no longer had the will to fight.
"Would you like to go down by yourself, or should I give you a ride?"
Lin Qi tried hard to keep his balance and looked at Hector coldly.
"Ahahaha, don't bother you. I'll go down right away."
Standing on the side of the boat, Hector, whose situation was not much better, laughed awkwardly twice.
Even for him, it is hard to say whether he can maintain his combat effectiveness in such an environment. Instead of continuing to fight, it is better to quit while the going is good.
and……
Is this ship actually showing signs of taking off? Absolutely!
Hector, who didn't want to experience flying in this way, didn't hesitate. He exerted force with his feet and jumped off the boat.
Seeing that all the enemies had left, Drake breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that someone would continue to pester her recklessly.
But after relaxing, the anger that had been suppressed for so long came out.
"Hey~! You damned bastard, just wait. If I see you again next time, I will definitely tear your head off and hang it on the front of the Golden Deer!!"
Drake clenched his left hand into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly to Blackbeard below.
Although it is unclear whether the other party can hear me in such a storm, the task of making harsh remarks has been accomplished.
"Big, Big Sister! Our ship is going to fly again!!"
One of the pirates felt weightless and started shouting in panic.
"Don't make a fuss! It's not like our ship hasn't flown before!"
Drake was still grinning wildly with excitement.
"No, Big Sister! If we continue like this, our ship might disintegrate in mid-air!"
Another pirate looked at the creaking hull in fear and trembled.
"Ah? But even so, this storm is no longer under my control!"
Derek's expression froze.
She just wanted a storm that would allow her to escape quickly and, preferably, fly again. Who could have known that this cup could actually summon a storm of this level?
In fact, it is not just a problem of the storm now, but the result of many factors.
First of all, the blessing of Rune is time-limited, especially when Lin Qi launches group buffs through Rune scattered all over the ship, the duration of Rune is shortened.
Therefore, the only thing left for the Golden Deer now is probably the weak blessing of the Holy Grail.
Secondly, the battle just now took place on the Golden Deer. A bunch of servants were fighting on the ship, and the fact that they didn't directly destroy the ship was already considered a good quality fight.
With the blessing of multiple debuffs, the current Golden Deer is probably not much stronger than a normal ship of the same size.
The Golden Deer was watched as it slowly broke away from the sea under the strong wind and soared precariously into the sky.
Judging from the situation, if nothing is done, it will probably disintegrate in a few tens or even dozens of seconds.
at this time.
A layer of faint golden light suddenly covered the entire ship, quieting the creaking ship.
Seeing this familiar light, all the pirates looked in the direction of Lin Qi at the same time.
I saw him planting the flag on the deck, holding the flag with one hand and holding the mast tightly with the other.
The holy flag in his hand exuded a golden light, and it fluttered and shone brightly in the storm like a fish.
Lin Qi escaped from the battle with Hector. After just a short breath, he ignored the fatigue of his body and brain and activated the treasure again, bringing the entire ship under its protection.
"Xiao Lin..."
The pirates looked at Lin Qi who was still in C with tears in their eyes.
“Even if you guys are looking at me like this, I won’t feel relaxed while holding up this defense…”
Lin Qi felt the magic power in his body slipping away, with a tense face.
Although he has the skill to restore his magic power at any time, the amount of magic power restored is just a drop in the bucket compared to the amount consumed.
Besides, he had fought with Hector for so long before, so he didn't have much magic power left.
In addition, the use of the Noble Phantasm not only consumes magic power, but also consumes spirit. After a battle, Lin Qi has used [Escaper] and the Noble Phantasm countless times. It can be said that he is fighting hard again.
"This damn old woman actually used this method to escape again... It's simply too foul!!"
Looking at the warship that had already flown into the sky, Blackbeard bit his handkerchief with a look of jealousy on his face.
If he wanted to make his ship fly, it might not be possible. The ship must be strong enough, but his ship was much bigger than Drake's, right?
If you raise the sail, not only will it be difficult to fly, but the force on the mast will also increase exponentially.
Although it will not disintegrate in the air, it is hard to say whether the mast can hold up.
Blackbeard suddenly had an idea.
"Teacher! Our teacher! Your Noble Phantasm should be able to knock down their ship, right?"
Blackbeard looked at Hector with shining eyes.
Hector, who finally swam out of the sea and was twisting the water off his clothes, paused.
Then he hugged his spear tightly and couldn't help but complain:
"Captain, are you awake?"
"My Noble Phantasm can indeed hit them, but it is a throwing Noble Phantasm. Are you sure I can pick it up after throwing it out?"
As he spoke, Hector pointed to the waves outside that were occasionally several meters high.
"Ahahaha, just kidding, just kidding..."
Being stared at by Hector as if he were a fool, Blackbeard finally realized how stupid his idea was.
But then again!
"——Teacher, are you really not going to reconsider it?"
Blackbeard rubbed his hands together and looked at Hector expectantly.
"No need to talk about it, it's the same even if I use honorifics~"
Hector took back the treasure and replied with a forced smile in the tone of Blackbeard.
It can be seen that this great Trojan hero is also good at hermaphroditism.
……
"We, we seem to be flying higher and higher!"
Under the strong wind, the pirates' words were intermittent.
"And this time it's much higher than last time!"
With the strong wind whistling in their ears, only the pirates who were close by could hear each other's words clearly.
