On the wide sea, a large 10,000-ton ship is breaking through the waves, and around it there are seagulls flying continuously, sending out the sound of "Europe and Europe".

This is the island whaling ship Maru, because this whaling ship is very large, like an island, so it is named after it.

As a whaling mother ship, the Shimamaru is not equipped with other whaling sub-ships, because there is a whaling gun at the bow of the ship, which can kill whales on its own.

This big ship has been traveling on the sea for half a month, and it has caught a lot of whales along the way. Those whales have been stripped of fat and dismembered to make whale oil and whale meat products.

On the deck, many crew members leaned on the railing to look into the distance, and some were counting the seagulls flying overhead.

Masaichi Yoshida is one of the seagulls. He has counted 45 seagulls.

But just then, a sea breeze blew across from him, which caused his eyes to blink several times. After that, he couldn't tell which of the seagulls in the sky he had counted.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to spread his hands, and then put up a glass of orange juice beside him, and took a sip.

"Zhengyi, how are you still used to it?"

It was also at this time that there was a hearty voice next to Masaichi Yoshida, followed by a middle-aged man who was older than him.

"Senior Noda."

Yoshida's expression was conscientious, and the seaman in front of him was his father's old knowledge. The reason why he could become a crew member on the island of Marushima was also the recommendation of the senior Noda.

"Thanks to you, I feel that everything is fine."

The Noda Taro who came across smiled and said, "A lot of people will not perform well when they first board the ship, but you are very good."

"It seems that you are a natural crew."

Encouraging a sentence, Taro Noda walked beside Masahiro Yoshida and leaned on the side of the ship, said to the latter: "Has been out for half a month, are you homesick?"

"Your father said you just married your wife not long after."

Hearing Noda Taro talking about this, Yoshida looked at the distance and took another breath. He smiled and said, "A bit, but I think I can persevere."

Noda Taro patted his shoulder and said: "This time our harvest is good. After returning to Hong Kong, we crew members will get a lot of money."

"Going to sea is very hard, but if you are lucky, you will earn a lot."

It is said that Yoshida’s expression is also excited, why did he choose to go overseas to make money to support his family?

Otherwise, who would be willing to leave his new wife at home alone?

"Hahaha, just one, and in another half month, our ship is estimated to be returning, and maybe you will see your wife holding a bunch of flowers waiting for you at the port."

Yoshida imagined the picture in his mind, and felt very beautiful, and a look of longing appeared on his face.

"Big fish! Big fish!"

It was at this time that there was a burst of excitement at the lookout.

After Noda Taro and Yoshida heard this sound, they immediately looked towards the lookout tower. Only there was a crew standing in front of the telescope, yelling excitedly.

"Zhengyi, be prepared. It seems that we have another goal."

Noda Taro is also a little bit excited. The more whales they catch, the more income they will have.

"Full speed ahead!"

At this time, a rich man suddenly yelled with a horn and watched him dressed as the captain of this whaling ship.

Yoshida’s gaze withdrew from the captain, and then looked in front of them, only to see that in front of them, there were two black shadows moving forward struggling.

From time to time, from the back of these two shadows, there was a mist of water spraying out.

"Two whales!"

Yoshida is waving his fist,

Not only him, the other crew members also cheered at this time. As they got closer to the target, the two shadows on the opposite side also fell into their vision more clearly.

These are two big fish.

One of them is extremely large, with a size above 15 meters, while the other is only about 5 meters. It is a small whale, but even so, it looks very deterrent.

"It's a humpback whale."

Noda Taro deserves to be an experienced seaman. He just glanced over there to recognize the identity of the two whales.

At this time, the two whales in front of them were about 100 meters away. The two whales obviously suffocated on the bottom of the sea, so they could not sink into the sea for a while.

They have to breathe enough fresh air.

"The gunner is ready!"

The captain above the deck was holding a yellow flag at the moment, and there was a cry in his mouth. At the same time, on the fort not far from it, a crew was aiming the launcher at the opposite A larger humpback whale.

Now that the whaling ships have been renewed, unlike before, they have to drive a small boat to chase those whales, and then pierce the fishing fork into their flesh and blood.

Now they are shooting with whaling guns.

However, the range of whaling guns is generally only 30 meters to 60 meters, so they must continue to approach the two humpback whales ahead.

Closer, closer, closer.

I saw that at this time, they were only 50 meters away from the two humpback whales in front of them. The crew on the other side of the fort was already ready to fire a whaling gun.

"emission!"

At this time, the captain not far away suddenly shouted suddenly, and the gunner directly fired the whaling gun.

The whaling artillery swished across the distance of nearly 50 meters, and then even slammed into the larger humpback whale.

Only with a "bang" sound, the whaling artillery plunged into the flesh of the humpback whale, and a thick stream of blood spewed out from between its wounds, and it suddenly stained a large area of ​​sea.

"Woo!"

From the mouth of this humpback whale, a whimpering whale sounded, its brain was hit hard, and it was no longer able to continue to swim forward, and the body had a tendency to sink.

The small humpback whale beside him didn't escape at the moment, but surrounded the big humpback whale and flicked the big humpback whale with his head, not to let It flips past.

From the mouth of this small humpback whale, there are also waves of whales, which seem extremely sad.

But on the island Maru on the opposite side, there is now a scene of joy and encouragement.

"it is good!!"

When everyone saw the gunner hit, they were all screaming excitedly, including Masaichi Yoshida and Taro Noda.
