Chapter Twenty-Three: The Hunt

"Captain, what should I do?"

On the merchant ship, everyone was a little panicked when they knew that the attacking pirates were the Dominica Pirates.

"Are you going to run away?" Qiao Ze asked, staring at the captain.

The captain shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't try to escape like last time, but Dominic got on board with people and killed two people." It's better not to provoke them. ”

If you see the pirates and find out early, you can avoid them in time, and the chances of dodging are not small.

Even if you are caught up by the pirates, as long as you negotiate in time, most of the time there will be no murder.

If you kill someone, report it to the navy, and the probability of being listed as a wanted object is relatively high, and the bounty for those who have been wanted for a long time will be increased, and they will even be actively pursued.

But if it's just a robbery, then many times more is better than less, the Chamber of Commerce is just reporting, and the pirates will not be taken to heart.

Therefore, in the face of the murderous Dominica Pirates, the Chamber of Commerce has no intention of leaving.

"Then hand over the goods to them, it looks like we're going to have some money deducted this time."

Qiao Ze said regretfully, then turned to Marcel and said, "Marcel, you go into the cabin." ”

"I, I'm not afraid." Marcel said loudly.

"It's not a question of fear."

Qiao Ze rubbed his head, but said, "You will be sad to see them." ”

Marcel shook his head and said seriously: "I won't be sad anymore, I will remember their appearance, and sooner or later, kill them to avenge my parents." ”

"Okay then, but you have to stand far away and don't get too close to them."

Jozer sighed, gave a word of advice, and pulled Marcel into the distance.

The merchant ship lowered its sails and no longer tried to leave.

After a while, the Dominic Pirates approached, and the pirates on the ship wielded their blades, their faces fierce, and their mouths made strange noises.

Bang.

The pirate ship slammed into the merchant ship diagonally from the front, and the pirates jumped onto the merchant ship one by one, and finally an extremely obese man, with his legs slightly bent, jumped on the ship.

Boom.

His body slammed into the deck with a muffled thud.

This is Dominic, the leader of the Dominica Pirates, who is fat and fierce, wearing a vest, with three knife marks on his chest, and a huge machete in his right hand,

After him, two men followed him aboard the merchant ships.

The two men, one of whom was tall and had dry hair, a horse face that was extremely ugly, and two katanas pinned to his waist.

The other was a stout man with a musket in his right hand.

The arrival of the three of them made the surrounding pirates get out of the way.

"Is that you?"

Dominic saw the captain, raised his eyebrows, and laughed, "What a coincidence, I met you half a month ago, since you have experience, then carry the goods out yourself and hand them over to me." ”

"Lord Dominic, you see, this time frequency is too short. Can you raise your noble hand and let us go. Last time you robbed us once, each of us was punished by the Chamber of Commerce, if you rob the money and goods again this time, I, we really can't support it. The captain stepped forward and said with a sad face.

Dominic squinted and said, "You mean, let's go for nothing?" ”

"Don't dare."

The captain hurriedly said: "Lord Dominic, I also hope that you will leave the goods to us, and we are willing to provide the reward for this recovery." ”

"What nonsense."

The tall and thin man couldn't help but say, pulled out a knife, stared at the captain and said, "We want the money, and we want the goods." ”

"Leo."

When Dominic heard this, he patted him, was silent for a while, and said, "We can't rob you many times, hand over your money, and I'll let you go." By the way, there is also wine, give us the wine you brought. ”

"Yes, thank you, Lord Dominic."

The captain hurriedly said, and then asked everyone to take out the money and give it to Dominic.

"Too little."

Leo frowned, but Dominic waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's not easy for them either." ”

"Come, give the wine to Lord Dominic."

The captain arranged for four or five cases of wine to be brought out of the hold and placed on the deck.

"Yes, let's move back."

Dominic looked at the wine, nodded, and asked the pirates behind him to carry the wine back to the pirate ship.

"Then we'll go."

Dominic beckoned, and the remaining pirates retreated to the ship.

Dominic walked to the side of the boat, and when he was about to leave, he said softly: "Little one, why are you looking at me so fiercely?" ”

With his words, the gunman raised his musket and aimed it at Marcel in the distance.

Hearing this, Marcel's figure in the distance stiffened, and Qiao Ze hurriedly blocked his body.

"I'm sorry Lord Dominic, he's a child, and I hope you'll forgive me." The captain said hurriedly.

"Hmph."

Dominic snorted coldly, waved his hand, and turned to get on the pirate ship.

Leo and the gunner got on board, and the pirate ship started and slowly left.

"Marcel."

The captain stared coldly at the young man in the distance and said, "Do you know that you almost died?" ”

"Yes, I'm sorry."

Marcel lowered his head, his eyes flushed.

"Your actions are likely to affect other people."

The captain said with some anger, but then remembered that his father was killed by Dominic in front of him on this ship, and sighed and said: "Marcel, you need to control others and never expose your hatred to the enemy. ”

"I remember."

Marcel nodded, picked up the back of his hand and wiped his eyes, and José rubbed his head beside him.

。。。

"This time the harvest is too little."

On the pirate ship, Leo said dissatisfiedly,

"Boss, why did you let them go this time? The draft of the ship is very deep, and there must be a lot of cargo, which is worth a lot of money, so why don't we grab it? The gunman also said.

"Leave them alone? Johansen, I didn't let them go. Dominic sneered.

Leo's eyes lit up and he asked, "What does the boss mean?" ”

Dominic said: "I ask you, what is the use of us snatching the goods?" Most of the goods are daily necessities, there are a lot of them, we can't use them up, we can't sell them, we can only waste them in our hands, what's the use of robbing them? ”

Johansen thought for a moment and said, "Last time, we sold the goods to a certain black marketeer in the Goya Kingdom at a discount, and the money returned was very small. ”

"So we're going to wait for them to be exchanged for money, and then we're going to rob them?" Leo asked delightedly.

Dominic nodded and said, "Anyway, we know the location of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and know where they are going, and after seven or eight days, we will ambush them and then snatch all the money." ”

"The boss is wise." Leo flattered.

"What a fool they actually believed in the boss." Johansen said with a smile.

"And!"

Dominic said with a gloomy face: "The next time I meet them, I want to kill that little ghost, I don't like others to look at me like that." ”

Dominic said, a cruel smile on his lips.

But at this moment, under the water in the distance, a black shadow rushed rapidly.

"You are my prey, so stay here."

Blackfish approached the pirate ship, and its huge head slammed directly into the side of the ship.

Rumble.

There was a loud bang, a click, and the planks of the hull were shattered, cracking a large hole.

Details:

Some readers asked if the fish had eyelids, the fish didn't have eyelids, but the protagonist did, and the protagonist in Chapter 7 had eyelids, mainly to resist the attack of the small fish, and then kept this setting.

But the question made me think that this might be a problem, because the protagonist doesn't have an environment where he grows eyelids, and it is impossible to grow eyelids by eating fish, let alone the need to grow eyelids, if he has evolutionary genes.

So I deleted the description of the eyelids and replaced them with the instantaneous membranes of sharks, which can converge and protect the eyes.

The transient membrane is part of the eyelid and is found in sharks, amphibians, animals, and humans.

Sharks and amphibians and kingfisher-like transient membranes that can be closed laterally.

Of course, eyelids will still appear in the future, and there is a basis for instantaneous membranes, and evolution is logical.
