Chapter 271 - 270: Forceful Boarding
Mountain Eagle released Crow before the others even caught sight of the cruise ship...
With its advanced technology, Crow provided Mountain Eagle with ample vision, allowing him to swiftly locate the position of the cruise ship while observing the surrounding sea conditions.
The Diamond Queen Cruise Ship is colossal in size; at night, sailing on the ocean, it shone like a glaring torch.
But that was an illusion, for once the pirates took control of the bridge, they could cut off all external lighting on the ship. Then, by altering the course for a while, they could create a significant obstacle for anyone searching for the ship.
Once it deviated from its course and entered international waters, finding it within a short span would then require tremendous luck.
Mountain Eagle and his team were a step too slow, but things had not reached the worst stage yet!
Although the early warning did not change the cruise ship’s course and speed, it caused the captain and security personnel on board to step up their vigilance.
Despite losing control of the ship, the security team valiantly defended the decks and area outside the bridge, not allowing the pirates to reach the guests, thereby buying some time for Mountain Eagle and his team.
Crow was flying at a high altitude, and because of the structural layout of the cruise ship, Mountain Eagle could not see the fighting between the crew and pirates...
Many people refer to cruise ships as sea palaces, but in Mountain Eagle’s view, they’re more like pigeon cage-style apartments built atop a massive cargo ship, with a length of 100 meters, a width of 55 meters, and a five-story interior.
The situation on the first deck where the pirates were located was entirely obstructed by the ship’s architecture, except for the two external passageways on either side.
