Chapter 334: The Gift of the Sea

The Magic Triangle is notorious, and the merchant ship named "Starlight" on which William and others boarded, under the command of Captain Joey Fall, tried to avoid this area, but now it seems that this move is in vain, and when night falls, a thick fog rises around the merchant ship at some point.

In the captain's room, under the gaze of Captain Joy Ferry and the ship's owner Baucia, the navigator defended with some nervousness: "The Magic Triangle is almost the entire waterway, and it is not easy to get around it, and we don't have a familiar route beforehand, so we don't blame me for the failure." ”

Joey Fello's lips moved, and his expression seemed to want to scold the navigator, but he had a lot of sailing experience, and knew that in this situation, he couldn't do without the help of the navigator, so he held back his anger and turned to Baucia and said: "He's right, we wanted to bypass the magic triangle in advance, and it was just an attempt, but don't worry, as long as we follow the direction of the pointer, a little fog won't be difficult for us." ”

Baucia held a white handkerchief embroidered with lace, gently wiping the thin sweat on her temples, although her face was still a little worried, but Joey Ferry was a professional, she could only choose to trust the other party, and turned to the climate: "Do you think that after the fog, the temperature seems to have risen a little?"

Joey Ferry thought for a moment: "The fog in the Magic Triangle Sea does not disperse all year round, it may be different from the usual fog on the sea, there should be no problem, Miss, you don't have to worry too much." ”

While the three of them were talking, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, and Joey Fello's brows suddenly furrowed, and he strode over to open the door, just in time to see a sailor knocking on the door outside the door, raising his hand, facing the captain who suddenly appeared in front of him, frozen in place.

"What's wrong?" Joey Fello didn't look good, and he thought something was going on on the ship when he heard the sailor's hurried footsteps.

The sailor paused for a moment, and then said excitedly: "Captain, come out and have a look, there are good things!"

Joy Fellowo glanced at him, and Baucia also walked behind Joy Fellowo, and when she heard the sailor's words, she asked curiously, "What good things?"

"You'll find out just by having a look!"

After the sailor finished speaking, he turned his head and walked in the direction of the bow deck, and Baucia followed curiously, and Joey Ferry hesitated for a moment, then turned to the navigator and told him to take care of the record pointer during this time before leaving the room.

There were many people on the bow deck at this time, and the three rescued fishermen were looking into the middle of the crowd from a distance, and the irrepressible excitement and discussion of the sailors around them reached the ears of Joey Fellow and Baucia from afar.

Baucia gave her bodyguard, Clark, an inquiring look, who just shook his head at her with a strange expression.

Joey Fellowo drove away the sailors who were gathered around, and he and Baucia realized that what had excited the group of sailors was an old wooden barrel, the whole barrel was firmly bound by rope, and at the top was a worn flag.

"In front of the Poseidon Imperial Treasure?" Baucia whispered a few big words written on the flag, and asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

"It is a tribute to the god of the sea in order to pray for a smooth voyage!" Joey Fellowo tapped the barrel lightly with his index finger and explained in a low voice, "It is also a gift from the sea, stuffed with dry food and wine, and if a person is shipwrecked at sea, it can often save people's lives, so sailors believe that if they can meet it on the vast sea, it means that they have handed over good luck." ”

"But isn't this a tribute?

"It doesn't matter, as long as we put the dry food and wine back in it, and put it back into the sea, the sea god will not blame," Joey Ferry explained in a low voice, then patted the barrel and said loudly to the sailors around him, "All right, young men, it seems that our voyage is destined to be safe, and even the sea god has taken care of us, and when we have just entered the magic triangle, he will give us wine that has been beaten by the waves to cheer us up." ”

The sailors giggled and laughed, the climate on the sea is changeable, especially the great voyages, the weather is even more weird, the power of nature is not transferred by human will, plus the existence of devil fruits, most of the people who beg for a life at sea are a little superstitious, the Starlight happened to be a little short of supplies, and it happened that at this time the sailors met the tribute of the sea god, even if there are not many things, but the symbolism is very strong, and the sailors do not need to boost their morale too much, and the sailors also feel that they have made good luck.

A sailor who was in a hurry cut the rope directly with a dagger, and the person next to him carefully took the flag with the words "In front of the Poseidon Imperial Treasure" and put it on the ground, and several sailors respectfully bowed to the broken flag.

Whether it was Baucia, her bodyguard Clark, or Joey Felllow, or the rest of the crew begging for a living at sea, they all watched with anticrative anticipation as the barrel was opened by a sailor.

Boom!

The moment the lid of the barrel was lifted by the sailors, there was a sudden explosion from the opening, and in the faint smoke of gunpowder, a projectile flew from the barrel into the sky at a very fast speed, and then exploded with a bang, turning into a dazzling red light, cutting through the darkness, like a small sun, illuminating the dark night sky.

Flares!

The light of the flare illuminated the faces of everyone on deck, and the crew looked suspicious, Baucia and her bodyguards were unsure, and William, Arkin, and Serkirk looked strange.

"It's coming!" William muttered to himself, then looked at Joey Fall.

The captain, who had sensed that something was wrong, looked very ugly, and looked into the barrel, and saw that there was no dry food or wine in it.

Joey Fello had a loud alarm in his heart, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a trap deliberately designed to expose their location.

He hurriedly looked up and asked the sailor in charge of the observation in the mast watchman, "Are there any other ships around?"

"The fog is so big that I can't see the situation in the distance!"

A panicked voice came from Wangdou, and at this time, the brain was spinning quickly, and even the experienced seafarers realized that something was wrong.

Cry Fellowo gritted his teeth and ordered the sailors on deck to wake up the rest of the sleeping men, raise their guards, and speed up their voyage to stay away from the place.

For those who seek a living at sea, the threat of nature is everywhere at sea, but the biggest threat is actually people with various goals.

Threatened by the signal flare of the unknown force, the Starlight sped up and fled from the spot, but it did not expect to plunge headlong into the dark fog of the Magic Triangle Sea.
