Next Chapter

The fiery sun is shining on the farmstead on Sisiri Island, and despite the scorching sun, there are still many figures working in the sugar cane fields. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord Barnes, this is this month's harvest report, please take a look." The overseer handed the report to an obese middle-aged man, who, to his astonishment, was wearing a luxurious coat despite the heat.

"Roar, bring it." The fat man took the piece of paper, glanced at it twice to confirm it, and wiped a handful of sweat on his face, "Okay!" Well done! You're doubling down on these guys this year! More than 20% more sugarcane can be produced than last year! I'm counting on a great birthday present for the Governor! ”

"No problem, no problem." The overseer hurriedly agreed, and kept fanning the fat man with his hands.

"Alright, I'm going back! It's hell hot here! The fat man slapped away the fan that the overseer had taken on his face, and swaggered up and walked to the pier, when a bell rang from the tower not far away, and the loud sound of the bell echoed throughout the island.

"What sound?" The fat man asked with a frown.

"The sea .... Sea.... "The overseer suddenly stammered and couldn't say anything.

"Pirates?" The fat man's face turned pale all of a sudden, and without saying a word, he immediately threw down the overseer, turned his head and drilled into the woods, and his dexterity was not like words.

"Sir! Wait for me, sir! Master! The overseer ran away after the fat man.

For the attack of pirates, Lord Barnes is not without consideration, he also spent money to set up a small patrol, specifically responsible for the security of the island, but the so-called patrol members are just some hooligans he fished out of the tavern, usually scare and scare people, really to deal with those vicious and murderous pirates without blinking, Lord Barnes knows that it is extremely impossible.

"Who? Who rang the alarm bells? The squad leader asked as he grabbed a patrol member lying on the ground.

"Heavy? What is heavy? Hiccup, Captain, I can still drink, let me go..."The patrolman seemed drunk and soon fell asleep snoring again.

“x!” The captain shoved the drunk man to the ground and slammed it into it. "So many of you are playing cards here! No one saw who rang the bell? The captain asked the other team members in disbelief, why was the alarm bell ringed by someone when they peed themselves? Lord Barnes is on patrol today! If he blames him for this, he will never find such a leisurely job again.

Several people shook their heads, saying that they didn't know anything, and they forgot about the things when they played cards, and they also took care of the things next to them.

“xx!” The captain couldn't help but burst into a foul language peculiar to Sisiri Island, "Give me a patrol!" Get your weapons ready and get dressed up! You-" he gestured to a skinny team member, "go wake up this drunkard!" Damn it! When you get down to business, you all squint your eyebrows! ”

At the captain's urging, the patrol moved slowly and reluctantly like a turtle that had been woken up from a nap.

Not far from the cliffs.

"How?" One asked his companion who was watching the patrol with a monocular.

"That's it! The patrol team really went out to patrol, and now it is convenient for us to 'move goods'! The man grinned and put away the binoculars, "Go ahead, call Roy and them, and remove all the stocks of Barnes's dead fat man!" Without this batch of goods, I see if he still has the confidence to laugh at us as poor eggs! ”

"Haha! As soon as he was mad, he was mad," and the man was given the order, and immediately went down the mountain to inform his companions to act.

You should be able to guess one thing - the hero of our story is a pirate, but at the moment...... As a pirate, he and his team weren't well known, at least no one knew his Captain Johnny name in the entire Sisiri Seas! Our captain has been deeply frustrated by this, so Captain Johnny has been thinking about it for a long time and has a great plan to dominate the seas of Sisili! The first step in the plan is to buy a decent sailboat and get some real muskets......

You read that right, the Johnny Pirates still don't have a sailboat that they can be proud to call a pirate ship, and the sailboat they are using now is a second-hand dhow that Captain Johnny and his first mate Roy have saved up for a long time, if it is for the purpose of going out to sea for fishing, this ship is enough, but for the ambitious Captain Johnny and his companions, it is far from being a decent pirate ship! At the same time, as pirates, they were not equipped with good muskets, and the entire pirate regiment only had one Roy First Mate's Bird Gun....... Because of this, they can't even hold their heads up in the pirate-infested tavern! The problem was that the purchase of these equipment required silver dollars, shiny silver dollars, and in order to obtain sufficient funds, Captain Johnny set his sights on Lord Barnes, a well-known rich man....... Of course, it is also possible that Barnes once laughed at Johnny for being a poor bastard.

A smug Captain Johnny picked up his three-cornered hat from the ground and put it on his head, which he had picked up from a naval officer over a drink last month, and he liked it. He checked his saber again, yes, shiny and impressive, he was going to use the funds for the robbery of the sugar cane farm to replace the current small wrecked ship with a decent sailboat, so the matter of muskets had to be found in another way, such as the patrol warehouse? He's ready to sneak in alone right now to see if he can get his hands on a beautiful musket! As a captain, but not equipped with a gun, shame.

The patrol circled the island in a noisy circle, and on the way they met the embarrassed Lord Barnes, who was covered in leaves and mud and vented all his anger on the captain, who could only bow his head and be trained in the roar and spittle of Barnes. On the other hand, the "porting" work was proceeding in an orderly manner, and under the command of First Officer Roy, the full sugar cane warehouse was soon removed, and they looted the small treasury on the island - it seemed that it was Barnes's private money, and the income far exceeded the previous expectations! Sell off a boatload of sugar cane, plus the income from the small treasury, and you can probably make 10,000 silver dollars! Roy had to sigh in his heart, this is the day of piracy.

While the looting was in full swing, Captain Johnny sneaked out of the patrol lounge window - it was empty, and it was good! With a squeak, Johnny squatted down and slowly touched it, his eyes swept around, and then he stood up boldly, with a money bag on the table, a silver spoon, a hardcover map on the wall, and a gold watch in a drawer...... The captain turned into a thief at the moment, and he didn't miss a mistake.

Walking to the end of the room, Johnny noticed an unexpected bonus, a drunk man leaning against the wall, unconscious, he was wearing a patrol suit, it seemed to be a drunk patrolman, Johnny cautiously leaned over and pulled out the pistol he pinned to his waist, oh! A fine silver-encrusted flintlock pistol, which should be standard for a captain, carefully pinned the treasure to his belt, looked in the mirror, and felt good about himself.

After searching the room, the proud captain pushed open the door and walked out, and Barnes, who was reprimanding the captain, and the captain, who was being trained, looked up at the same time, and looked at each other.......
