Chapter 39:
While the people on the Quinjet were still chattering about Captain America jumping without a parachute,
Captain America had already successfully landed on the launch platform.
Hearing the unusual noise behind them, the pirates on the ship immediately walked over.
Captain America seized the moment and threw his shield at the person walking in front.
The shield flew straight into that pirate's head, instantly knocking him down.
Taking advantage of the others still not reacting, Captain America rolled forward and arrived in front of another man.
With a simple uppercut, he sent that man flying several meters away, his life or death unknown.
The remaining pirates on the ship saw this and all raised their firearms, firing wildly at Captain America.
A series of "bang bang bang" gunshots rang through the air. Bullets poured down like rain, but Captain America easily dodged them all.
While dodging the bullets, Captain America had already rushed in front of one man and delivered a powerful kick to his chest, sending him flying.
The remaining four men panicked and raised their guns to fire at Captain America.
Captain America quickly moved to a corner and dodged the bullets.
At that moment, a sniper bullet flew out, heading straight for Captain America. He quickly crouched down, and the bullet grazed past his shoulder.
The bullet tore through the clothes on Captain America's shoulder, leaving a bloody mark.
"Ah!" A miserable scream came from one pirate's mouth, followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
"Bang!" Another bullet pierced through a pirate's chest, hitting his heart directly.
Before the bullet even penetrated the heart, the pirate's body twitched violently and finally lost all signs of life.
After completing this series of actions, a dark gun barrel was aimed at Captain America.
"You see, I told you, Captain. Without my help, you can't do it."
Sam Wilson said with a smile as he took off his parachute.
Facing Sam's words, Captain America wasn't annoyed and simply thanked him.
Then the two headed deeper into the ship's cabin.
Compared to the relaxed and easy situation on Captain America's side, the moment Black Widow landed on the deck, she was surrounded by several burly men.
Black Widow couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I should have known I'd run into these guys. What a hassle!"
Although Black Widow complained about the trouble, she showed no fear at all.
She raised the gun in her hand and fired continuously at the four men surrounding her.
"Ratatatatatat!"
At the same time, the pirates also poured bullets wildly toward Black Widow.
Black Widow's body was extremely agile. She dodged the bullets and seized the opportunity to grab the arm of the burly man in front of her, then twisted it hard.
A series of crisp "crack crack" sounds rang out as the bones in his hand broke.
"I don't care who you are. Leave here immediately, or we won't be polite!"
The voices of the remaining men sounded particularly harsh in the quiet night.
Black Widow ignored their words and simply pulled out a dagger, slashing toward one pirate's throat.
That pirate hadn't expected Black Widow to act so ruthlessly and was momentarily stunned, forgetting to dodge.
"Puchi!"
Blood sprayed out. The pirate's eyes widened as he clutched his neck and unwillingly fell to the ground.
The other three pirates were frightened by the scene.
In their understanding, they had never seen such a ruthless woman.
Black Widow didn't bother with the three frightened pirates and simply charged toward them.
"Bang!"
Black Widow raised her leg and delivered a powerful straight punch to the face of the man holding a firearm.
"Bang!"
The man's nose bridge was smashed to pieces. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and foam before collapsing to the ground.
The other two men saw this and no longer hesitated. They charged toward Black Widow.
Black Widow didn't dare to be careless. She clenched her fists and delivered heavy punches to the two men's chests.
Unfortunately, Black Widow's strike was firmly caught by the two men.
Seeing herself restrained by them, Black Widow immediately did a backflip to free her hands and kicked the two men flying at the same time.
The two pirates were sent staggering backward several steps by Black Widow's kick before falling to the ground, groaning in pain.
At this moment, other pirates not far away also heard the commotion and rushed over with weapons, preparing to attack Black Widow.
Black Widow glanced at the two men rolling on the ground in agony and no longer lingered. She headed toward the engine room of the moving platform.
Before long, Black Widow met up with Captain America in the engine room.
"Hey, why didn't you ask someone out for the weekend? Are you too nervous, or too shy?"
Black Widow couldn't help teasing as she looked at Captain America walking in front.
"Alright, once you successfully take the engine room, you can find me a date."
As he spoke, the two arrived at the door of the captain's cabin.
Captain America took two steps back, gathered his strength, and kicked the heavy iron door open with one powerful strike.
Seeing Captain America's astonishing strength, even Black Widow, who was used to seeing muscular men, couldn't help but praise:
"Not bad."
"Thanks!"
Meanwhile, the two pirates steering inside the cabin were momentarily stunned when they saw Captain America and Black Widow barging in so boldly.
By the time they reacted, they immediately raised their guns and aimed at the two, but Captain America had already thrown his shield and taken them down.
Just as Captain America was about to push deeper, Black Widow was already operating on a computer nearby.
Seeing this scene, Captain America asked in confusion:
"What are you doing?"
Before long, Black Widow pulled out a USB drive she had plugged into the computer and waved it in front of Captain America, saying:
"You should always remember to make copies."
Seeing this, Captain America immediately stepped forward, wanting to see what data Black Widow was copying.
"You're actually copying S.H.I.E.L.D. data."
Facing Captain America's questioning, Black Widow said calmly:
"My mission is different from yours."
"But what if this endangers the safety of the hostages?!"
"Hey, calm down. It's not as serious as you think, okay?"
Before Black Widow could finish speaking, one of the pirates that Captain America had knocked unconscious earlier suddenly stood up and threw a grenade at the two of them.
Captain America immediately swung his shield to knock the grenade away, then grabbed Black Widow by the waist and ran outside.
Black Widow was quick to react. She drew her gun and shot out the glass blocking their path.
The two, who had narrowly escaped death, leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
At this moment, Black Widow looked at Captain America beside her and said resignedly:
"This time you were right. It is very dangerous."
Hearing this, Captain America didn't feel any joy. Instead, he quickened his pace and rushed to the cabin where the hostages were being held.
Because Captain America's heart was filled with anger at this moment, the group of well-trained pirates were quickly and simply dealt with by him in just a few moves.
