"Almighty! Save us!..."
The burning flames rose on the deck of the Portuguese flagship, like the scorching of Hell, bringing a pervasive sense of death! And the sudden explosion of the gunpowder barrel was like an unprecedented thunder, raising a shocking air wave that even pressed the flames into sparks!
"Boom!!!..."
The stern's side panel was completely blown apart, and the heavy 8-pound cannon rolled into the sea, countless fragments of wood like blades slicing through the entire stern!
Four armed sailors didn't even make a sound as the wooden shards pierced their necks critically. Quartermaster Matim screamed, clutching his bleeding right eye, frantically rolling on the deck.
"Ah! My eye! My eye!!..."
"Ah!... My head! My head!... My scalp?..."
