Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty-Nine: This is Just the Beginning

Arctic Sunrise approached Nisshin Maru, and two whaling ships, one on the left and the other on the right, sandwiched Nisshin Maru and Arctic Sunrise in the middle, while No. 3 Yongshin Maru now blocked the path of the protesting ship.

A total of five ships were squeezed into a narrow area, with the distance between them at most only forty to fifty meters, a rather dangerous closeness.

A protest ship named Arctic Sunrise had been following the whaling fleet centered around Nisshin Maru. Unable to keep up with the three faster whaling vessels, Arctic Sunrise adopted a strategy of encircling Wei to rescue Zhao. When the three whaling ships left Nisshin Maru to hunt, Arctic Sunrise began to harass Nisshin Maru, forcing the three whaling ships to cease their hunting, return to Nisshin Maru's side, and attack Arctic Sunrise with high-pressure water cannons in an attempt to make it leave.
