Chapter 10 Critical Choices

The Bonnie Pirates are a small group of pirates with only one ship and a small crew. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ship is quite classic, a fast sailing ship with two masts, named Princess Anne. It is said that the name was chosen for her by Jenny Bonnie's mother, and Anne is her nickname, which also means her identity, just like a princess. It's just a pity that Crockdahl can't see any thing about Jenny Bonnie like a princess.

But if you think about it carefully, with Jenny Bonny's personality traits, if she is a princess of a certain pirate kingdom......

Well, if you think about it this way, it's quite credible! In particular, her lip gloss, which looked like a little red heart, always made Crockdahl feel immediate, as if he had seen it somewhere. It's just that the memory, which seems to belong to the original Crockdahl, has become a little blurry after the fusion.

I can't think clearly, and Krokdahl won't dwell on these things too much. In his words, he is used to it. After all, the memories of the two souls are fused together, and the original personalities are different, so it is lucky to be able to have no problems. Now the occasional nervousness, pretending to be forced during the battle, or wandering or something, seems to be the sequelae.

If you look at it this way, it seems that Crockdahl is going farther and farther on the road of the second uncle......

……

The style of the Princess Anne is somewhat similar to Luffy's Golden Merry, but it is more advanced. And it seems that it has undergone a special transformation.

It has a streamlined hull with a narrow front and a wide back. The bow of the ship is raised high, like the horns of a rhinoceros. Although this design makes the boat lose its ramming angle, it greatly enhances the drainage and reduces the resistance of the seawater when moving forward.

Perhaps because of the ship's structure, or perhaps because of the special wood used, the Princess Anne has a very shallow draft, with most of the hull exposed to the sea. Although this can lead to unstable sailing and can easily be overturned by wind and waves if it is not handled well, it also gives the ship a high speed that other ships cannot match.

At the same time, a square mainsail and two auxiliary spinnakers ensure that the boat can make the most of the wind and sail at high speeds without losing its agility.

Suffice it to say, if Jenny Bonney really has the ability to be a navigator and the skill to handle the boat, as she boasts, then this ship is definitely the best choice for her. Crockdahl could even imagine that under Jenny Bonney's control, the Princess Anne would be like a nimble swimming fish, shuttling through the cannon jungle.

Just as anyone would love the thrill of speeding fast, just thinking about this kind of picture will immediately feel the rapid secretion of adrenaline, which is the passion that men at sea love the most!

Coupled with the dark red paint painted on the outer deck to prevent insects, combined with the bow of the stilts, Crockdahl couldn't help but marvel that Jenny Bonny had unknowingly brought out the essence of "red has three......

And for the sake of faster speed and more agile handling, the Princess Anne completely abandoned the firepower modification. With the exception of a few necessary gun emplacements, such as bow guns, stern guns, etc., even the gun deck was completely abandoned. The muzzles that were originally on the side were also firmly nailed by the planks.

It can be said that in order to increase the sailing speed, the Princess Anne has gone to the extreme in terms of modification. If they meet at sea, unless they are crushed by the captain's strength, I am afraid that even some merchant ships will not be able to defeat them. But if you look at it the other way, if you go around, no ship can catch up with her.

Naturally, such a ship is easy to prepare. Together with the supplies, it was all completed in the evening.

Speaking of which, the supply matter went unusually well. Even if because of the sudden snowstorm, all prices in places such as vegetable markets suddenly came to a "winter special", but in the situation where Jenny Bonny seemed casual, he played a boning knife like a windmill, and the pirates next to him showed their tattoos at the right time......

Bargaining or something, it immediately becomes quite easy!

The most amazing thing is that when the shopkeeper was preparing for a loss-making sale with a bitter face, Jenny Bonnie smiled and scolded the little brother for his "barbaric rudeness", and bought what he needed at half price, but he was sincerely grateful to the tearful shopkeeper......

Sincerely, Crockdahl felt as if he had lit up some kind of new skill tree branch.

Ahem, let's get down to business.

……

In the cabin of the Princess Anne, Crockdahl and Jenny Bonnie were silently waiting for the passage of time. They stayed here to escape the wind and snow, and to prepare for the planned night sail.

If you want to say, after the supply and maintenance are completed, everything can be considered ready, and only the east wind is owed. But this "east wind" has never blown......

Crockdahl doesn't know how the others are, but he feels that he is definitely not the main character. At least not by Lady Luck - when the snow arrives at night, it shows no signs of getting smaller, but bigger.

The town is completely covered in snow, and although the appearance of the silver is quite pleasant, behind the pure white, there is an increasingly gloomy expression of Jenny Bonnie.

Correspondingly, her meal volume has also become larger......

Even if Jenny Bonny insists that this is because she needs to think carefully about sailing and consumes too much energy, Crockdahl prefers to believe that this is the behavioral inertia of a foodie. But he just spit out this in his heart, if he really said it, he would definitely be bitten on the head.

At this point, he was confident, but he wasn't sure if it was going in some weird direction......

The weather is always unpredictable in the great voyage, and this time it is surprisingly well-behaved. It seems that he is determined to turn this island full of summer style into a cold winter wax moon.

The cold wind is biting, especially at night. However, I don't know if it should be considered good news, although there are still snowflakes under the gloomy sky, there is no blizzard that has swept the nearby sea. But this is not to be thankful, after all, it is all ghost weather that cannot sail.

Besides, if it's a blizzard, it's menacing, but it's going to end quickly. Like the ebb and flow of the tide, it is bound to last long if it comes violently - even in the great voyage, it is necessary to follow this most basic law of nature. On the contrary, it is the kind of snow, which is not too violent, but not small, but it is hated by all those who desire to sail.

At this time, the wind and snow in the town are like this, always drifting indefinitely, without any ** ups and downs, but it gives people despair - it is completely impossible to guess the moment of stopping from the snow.

This kind of weather does not directly make you give up the possibility of sailing like a blizzard, but it is likely to make you trapped by the wind and snow and lose your course after barely sailing. Especially in this special part of the sea, where all pointers can be rendered useless, getting lost is definitely one of the most dangerous outcomes.

The trade-off between gains and losses is the most painful and difficult choice.

Now, that choice is in front of them. Whether to force the voyage to take risks, or to be safe, waiting for the unpredictable weather to have a result, they need to come up with a decision as soon as possible.

Unlike the rest of the people frowning and pondering, Crockdahl seemed very leisurely at this time.

Maybe it's because of the lack of knowledge of navigation, or maybe it's because he feels that as an outsider to the Bonnie Pirates, he doesn't have the position to participate in the conversation and help Jenny Bonnie get ideas. At this time, he was a "quiet beautiful man", sitting alone and drinking by himself with a wine barrel, looking at ease.

Because Jenny Bonny ordered him to ban smoking in the conference room, he had to give up his beloved cigar in pain. But this forced choice doesn't seem so bad now!

The wine is rum made by the townspeople themselves, which is not particularly high, but it also has a different fruity aroma.

The wine is red, and the sweet taste reveals a fragrant sweetness, and Crockdahl, a person who can only get drunk and can't drink except for ale, is actually fascinated by the taste of rum!

"I have rum in my blood! Hahaha, that's it! ”

The drunken and dazed Crockdahl couldn't help but shout, drawing a roll of the eyes from Jenny Bonney.

However, unlike the drunkenness he appears, Krokdahl is actually very sober. Even while seemingly concentrating on the wine in the glass, his afterglow swept over Jenny Bonney's face from time to time, observing her expression.

"This is the most testing time for a person...... Will, courage, strength, potential,......" Crockdahl chuckled, looked at Jenny Bonnie, who was frowning and still chewing pizza, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "What would you choose?" ”

At such a critical time......

"Bang!" A loud bang pulled Crockdahl's somewhat wandering thoughts back. Looking up, it was Jenny Bonnie, who finally couldn't bear it anymore, and smashed her fist on the table in front of her. With the vibration, a fairly clear fist mark appeared on the table top made of solid wood......

"Ahhh Can't wait! Can't wait! Hurry up and move for the old lady! It's time to go! Bastards! With a roar, Jenny Bonny slapped the table with a quick bang. The tight beat, like a war drum cheering during battle, makes a group of pirates get up and ignite a surging fighting spirit.

Jenny Bonnie's roar shook the wind and snow, and the Princess Anne set sail under her orders in a bad weather that should never have sailed.

No matter how difficult the sea is, it is only for people to conquer. Those difficulties are, at best, some seasoning in the process of conquest. The Bonnie Pirates are on their way to ......

As the hull of the ship shook, Crockdahl happily drank the wine from his glass. It seems that he is excited to set sail, but in fact, the reason for his inner happiness is known only to him.

"That's it...... When it is difficult to make a choice, no matter whether it is right or wrong later, the only right thing is 'decisiveness', and the most wrong thing is hesitation...... It's getting more and more interesting, my 'Navigator'......"
