After Anthony entered the kitchen, he saw that Zhengnan and the others looked a little nervous, and his heart was strange, so he swept over the faces of the cooks and said, "There are so many new faces." ”

Fortunately, Chi Zhengnan also had a bit of inspiration, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Yes, they are all Long Island Islanders who have just surrendered." ”

Anthony sighed and asked, "Recently, there have been rumors all over the island that the food from this kitchen is delicious, and the captain asked me to take a look." Well, it must be a great chef among the new Toucheng, who is it, can you introduce me to it? ”

Those who laid down their hands all cowered and didn't dare to come out, and some people even swept their eyes to the east 'gate' kei, and Shingoro, who was washing the dishes, saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward, blocking between Anthony and the east 'gate' kei, and said, "It's me." ”

Anthony looked at him, oh, looked at his towering cheekbones, and then at his strong tendons, and was quite surprised, and said, "A man must not be a man, and a man must not be a man." At this time, the atmosphere in the kitchen was quite strange, Anthony looked around, and didn't ask anything more, but said: "Go back and 'get' a few good dishes for me to try, if you do it well, in the future, Mr. Frangi's meals will also be taken care of here." ”

After saying that, he was about to leave, and everyone was relieved to see that he didn't ask much, but Anthony paused before leaving, and suddenly said: "The things made outside are sent to the Francois masters, and they all want people to try them first, so you'd better 'get things clean', but don't go wrong, I don't want to take responsibility!" With that, he left.

Shingoro and Chi Zhengnan and others were all thankful, but Dongmenqing was suspicious and confused, and said in his heart: "What does his last sentence mean!" Could it be that he had seen something? Otherwise, how could he say such unprovoked words? "Wei Yi sank 'groaning', and was about to send someone to find Hideyoshi, but this guy had already come in from outside and asked, "How is it?" Did he interrogate them one by one? You didn't show any flaws, did you? ”

The east 'gate' Qingdao: "There is no interrogation one by one. But ......"

Hideyoshi hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”

Dong'men Qing said: "I think he seems to have seen something. But I'm not sure ......."

Hideyoshi sighed and said, "I'll chase him and kill him!" Let's get ready to do it! "I thought that if I killed Anthony first, although it would be too hasty, I would still be able to catch Francis off guard.

Dongmen' Qing said: "Slow! Maybe it's not that bad. He elaborated on Anthony's reaction, focusing on his last sentence, and said, "Do you think there is a mystery in this?" ”

Hideyoshi pondered for a moment, a little surprised and a little secretly happy: "Could it be that although he has seen something, he intends to help us?" ”

The east 'gate' Qingdao: "I'm afraid it means a little bit." But he may not be willing to help us blatantly. This guy is less daring than you! ”

Hideyoshi said, "What do you mean! ”

Dongmen Qing laughed, no longer teasing him, and said: "Anyway, he shouldn't denounce us, this guy is less bold than you, but his heart is softer than mine." If he saw something, he should also know how many people would die if he reported it! But you'll still have to send someone to keep an eye on him, and do it right away if something happens! ”

On this day, both Higashi'mon Kei and Hideyoshi were full of nervousness, and they also knew how serious the consequences would be if Anthony really saw something and went to snitch! So they're all ready with weapons ready to do it at any time! But things didn't go badly, and Antony didn't seem to be talking nonsense, and that night an order came from Mendosa to give priority to the preparation of their Franco-Frank dishes. The person who came to give the order was Hideyoshi, and after he said the order of the 'Men' Dosa, he smiled and said: "Anthony was either deceived by us, or he had the heart to help us, in short, now that the red 'hairy' ghosts have 'handed over' their intestines and stomachs to us, we have one more way to control their death!" "In the past few days, he has gotten along with Dongmenqing, and the name of Francois behind his back has become more and more unkind.

However, he disagreed with him, saying: "Don't forget the special words that Anthony told him before he left, that he said that Men' Dosa was very careful with foreign food. I'm afraid that the poisoning method won't work. Let's think of something else. ”

Just when Keiko and Hideyoshi were discussing how to calculate the group of thieves of the Furrang plane, something happened at sea that they didn't know, a small merchant ship from the southern Nakayama Province was heading north along the Ryukyu island chain and wanted to do some business in Kyushu, but they were stopped by the Golden Dog when they arrived in this originally very safe sea.

The merchant ship was so small that the Golden Dog didn't have much trouble dealing with it, and it didn't even reach the island. There are not many valuable things on the small merchant ships, but the Francois got a message from the mouths of these Ryukyu sailors, saying that a large merchant ship has recently come to the Ming side, but this caravan is not going to do business in the Ryukyus, but it was temporarily anchored in the Ryukyus because of the wind's 'chaos' course, and after entering the port, it was also received by the king, and it may also go north to Japan after a while.

As to what should be said about this unexpected news, the Franc thieves were divided into two opinions: one group advocated waiting for the rabbit here, and waiting for the caravan to intercept it when it passed, so that they could make another fortune; The other group of people advocates conservatism, believing that the capital of the Golden Dog Pirate Group is enough now, and it can make a fortune just by trading in the future, and there is no need to take any more risks.

People are poor, brave and rich, and the Golden Dog Pirate Group now has so many goods that the original three ships can't fit it, even if they don't do business anymore and don't rob anymore, just transport this batch of goods to Europe, it will be an inexhaustible wealth for a lifetime! And after two years of 'wandering', the Francois found that the armed forces of 'private' people in the East China Sea have developed extremely fast! Two years ago, they would occasionally encounter some ships with a lot of goods and weak weapons, but almost none of the sea caravans they encountered in the past six months were easy to mess with, and the financial strength of the caravans was generally proportional to the armed forces. Not to mention the famous Xu Dong, Wang Zhi, Li Guangtou and others, even the group of businessmen who were not good at naval battles that they met in Chenjia Village a while ago also suffered a lot of losses.

"Let's hurry back to Europe." "I've heard a Chinese proverb that if you walk by the sea, your shoes will get wet sooner or later," Lasso said. Hannibal was defeated one day! If it's a ruthless guy like Li Guangtou who comes up this time, then not only will we not be able to rob other people's things, but we will lose our capital! ”

When the 'Gate' Dossa and Gaspar heard this, they both felt that Lasso was too timid, and thought to themselves, how many masters in the East China Sea could be as powerful as Li Guangtou? However, although there is no limit to the greed of human nature, they are not willing to take any more risks after suffering a few big losses and already sitting on a huge fortune, after all, the war at sea is too variable, and the people who can defeat them with all their strength in the East China Sea have met at least twice such as 'Mendosa'!

Moreover, the 'Gate' Dosa and the others still have a thought: they plan to tear off the skull flag and go to Kyushu, hoping to reconcile with Xu Dong and Wang Zhi as merchants. Their decision didn't just come out of nowhere.

The last time the Golden Dog arrived in Manraka, they met a Portuguese fellow, and knew that Xu Dong, Wang Zhi and the Francois merchant had a very good relationship, as long as they were not malicious pirates, Xu and Wang were quite willing to make friends. 'Men' Dosa waited until the east to come just to make a fortune, and he was not willing to go against Xu, Wang and others when his strength was at a disadvantage. Now that they have a large amount of wealth in hand, if Xu Dong and Wang Zhi can allow them to walk in this sea area, then they can turn thieves into business. Not to mention anything else, as long as the raw silk on Fuzhilong is shipped to Japan, exchanged for silver, and then purchased raw silk in Shuangyu, and then goes to Nanyang to buy spices, their wealth can increase by five to ten times! If there is such a high profit, then what are you going to do pirates! Therefore, they asked the fellow for a letter to Wang Zhi, which was full of words of mediation, to the effect that the Golden Dog fleet had planned to "be good", and hoped that Xu Longtou and Wang Wufeng would forgive them for their past offenses and accept them.

However, the timing of the letter prepared by Mendosa and others was also particular, that is, they had to wait until their capital was so large that the profits of business alone exceeded direct plunder, and it was clear that the time had come.

Therefore, these demons decided not to stop for the caravan that might go north, and to wait for the captured Daifuku ship to be repaired before leaving.

The meeting lasted about half an hour on the Golden Dog, and only after it came out did he tell Anthony, who was blocked out of the 'door', and Anthony was relieved when he heard about it, no matter whether the big ship to the south was very powerful, he did not want to clash with the other party, because he was afraid of seeing dead people.

However, what he feared soon happened again!

After the pirates removed the cargo from the small Ryukyu merchant ship, Mendosa ordered the entire ship to be scuttled, pointing to the merchants and sailors who were still panicking on the small merchant ship, and Anthony asked, "What about them?" What do they do? If you use the Golden Dog to carry them back, you might as well let them sail the boat back to Long Island by themselves......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Franco-Robot was already laughing! The laughter frightened Anthony, who had already guessed what Mendosa was going to do! Sure enough, the captain sneered and said, "Who is going to take them back?" ”

"Nope! No! 'Gate' Doza! Captain! Please! You can't do this! Anthony cried: "*** watching from the sky......"

But where would these red-haired pirates listen to his dissuasion? With a wave of his hand, the 'Men' Dosa let his men move! It didn't take long for a cry to be heard from the sea, all of whom were Ryukyu merchants and sailors who were about to sink to the bottom of the sea with the corpses of the small merchant ships. As he had done countless times before, Anthony stood on the deck and watched helplessly at the gradually silent merchant ship, helplessly listening to the cries and cries for help of his fellow writers.

After disposing of the small merchant ship, Lasso drove the Golden Dog to continue to guard between Long Island and Chenjia Island, but Mendosa and the others took the St. John's back to Long Island. On the way back, Gaspar said, "Now the Chinese galleon is almost finished." What do you think the people on this island should do? ”

"The people on this island are very hostile to us, but we may come back here in the future." Mendosa said: "I see that when the ship is repaired, it will be settled except for those who have surrendered." ”

Gaspar asked, "How to solve it?" ”

'Men' Dosa said: "It takes a lot of effort to 'wave' with a knife, and it will blunt the knife. Use the cannon 'wave' fee ***. In my opinion, the Manraka we bought in Manraka is too old, and the big ship that is about to be repaired now can transport goods and store supplies, so it is better not to have this Manraka. Before leaving, we thought of a way to coax these different *** on the full number, and when we got to the sea, we scuttled as we did just now, wouldn't it be a hundred? ”

Gaspar nodded in agreement and said, "Good idea!" It's the cleanest and easiest way to do it! ”

Anthony hid on the other side of the board, trembling when he heard this, and he didn't know whether he was scared or angry.

Then he heard Gaspar say, "But there seem to be too many people who have surrendered now." Hideyoshi's ability to recruit people is good, but since we are ready to give up the Manraka, we don't need to add so many sailors. ”

"That's easy, too." 'Men' Dosa said: "It will not be long before you coax the unwanted sailors to be put on the Manraka and dispose of them together?" ”

"Lord—they will kill even those who have already surrendered!" Anthony trembled even more on the other side of the plank: "Why would they have fallen to such an extent? Aren't they afraid of going to hell? ”

Although he was not very old, he had already experienced so many things that he was already misanthropic when he was sold to Woya - although he was still very young at that time, it was only after listening to the priest's preaching that he rekindled his hope in the world, thinking that as long as the whole world became a disciple as the priest he met said, then heaven would come to earth. But after getting on the Golden Dog, what he saw was that people without weapons were enslaved by people with weapons, and the murderers were all 'chests' with crosses.

"They...... They're not real *** outlaws! Anthony thought—that's all he could explain. He had said this to Hideyoshi, but then another person came to his mind, and his heart trembled when he thought of this person and what this person might have to do—he found that he was not afraid but expectant, even a little excited.

"Nope! No! How could I do that! Am I being captured by Satan? No - I can't do that! Ahh ”

Mendosa and Gaspar turned from the other side of the plank, and saw Anthony trembling but not paying attention to it—it was not the first time they had seen this useless and ignorant yellow man behave.

"He can't do anything anyway." Dosa and Gaspar smiled knowingly, they both knew that this poor creature was a little stubborn but did not dare to do anything 'fierce', and that was why they had always been at ease with him.
