Chapter 12: Crazy Mikes

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, and Silly Tu tugged at the corners of Joey's clothes, and his body seemed to tremble a little because of the fear in his heart.

Joey carefully looked in the direction where the sound came from as he shielded Silly Tu with his body, and he wondered who had discovered them.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped, and Joey curiously got up slightly to look around, only to see a huge black figure standing at the end of the cargo hold. Because it was too dark, Joey couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, but he didn't dare to act rashly. The black shadow no longer walked forward, but Joey and Silly Tu didn't dare to venture out easily, so time and space seemed to be frozen, and the two sides confronted each other without saying a word.

After a long time, a deep voice slowly came from the dark shadow: "Come out." Don't hide. โ€

"Huh? The captain, Joey, is the captain. Silly Tu seemed a little excited, and said carefully to Joey.

"I hear that, so let's just go out like this? Will he kill us? โ€

"If he wants to kill us, if he doesn't get out, he will die." After saying that, Silly Tu immediately stood up and said to the golden-bearded David: "Boat ...... Boat...... Captain. โ€

When Joey saw that Silly Tu had already gotten up, he didn't hide, he got up and drooped his head silently.

"You come with me." Goldbeard pointed at Joey and said.

"Me?" Joey seemed a little surprised.

"Captain. What about me? Are you saying I'm okay? "Silly Tu seems to think it's incredible.

"Roll wherever you like!" After saying that, the golden-bearded David still shook his cloak, turned his head and left.

"Hurry up, the captain told you to go!" Silly Tu stabbed Joey, who was still standing aside in a daze, with his hand.

"Oh, oh. Okay, I'll go. Joey seemed to finally react and quickly replied.

Arriving at David's room in Goldenbeard, Joey first took a closer look around. From the outside, it looks like a square room, but inside it is an octagonal room, and I have been listening to the old people in the town say that "the room is not square, and there will be horns", and it seems that this room is full of evil. But I saw that there was a statue of the head of a strange beast in every corner, like a general guarding one side, firmly suppressing the power of this evil qi. "Is this a square room?" Joey muttered to himself. An oil lamp hangs above the head of the beast, illuminating the whole room.

"Come, you sit down first." Before Joey could finish reading, the golden-bearded David beckoned him to sit down.

"Captain, is there something you're looking for me?" Joey asked knowingly.

"I don't think there's anyone on this ship going there in the middle of the night for no reason, unless you know anything." With that, the golden-bearded David lit his pipe and took a puff.

"Oh, Captain, you may have misunderstood, I just ......" Joey stopped talking, as if he couldn't think of any reason to convince the Golden-bearded Davy to prevaricate him.

The golden-bearded David laughed: "Hehehe, it's exactly like old Parker." If you have a chance, ask him hello. โ€

"Do you know my father?" Joey was weird.

"Yes, of course I know, but I'll talk about it later." The golden-bearded David suddenly became serious, "What I'm asking you now is why you went there!" You're going to give me an honest explanation! Otherwise, not only you, but also your damn friend, would be like it. After saying that, the golden-bearded David stared at Joey with his eyes fixed. With one hand, he drew his sword and cut a nearby stool in half.

Joey was somewhat blindfolded: "This... This... Because of the helmet? He shuddered and returned, caught him off guard by the sudden contrast.

"What else do you know? Say it. The Golden-bearded David asked.

"Me? I didn't know, so I wanted to unravel the questions in my mind. I saw it in my brother's barracks, and in the blink of an eye you took it to the Goldbeard. What else can I know? โ€

"Hehe, that's good. I hope you're not lying. You eat and drink well on this ship first, and then you will have a place to get you later. Remember, don't act rashly, or elseโ€”" The Golden-bearded David made a head-cutting gesture, and the Golden-bearded David laughed weirdly when he was done. "Alright, it's okay, let's go and rest."

Joey felt something strange about the Goldenbeard David, and when he turned to open the door and leave, he saw a chart on the Goldenbeard David's desk, on which was a disc ornament, which seemed to be made of bronze and covered with turquoise patina. The palm-sized disc ornament was carved with all kinds of bizarre words, but it was too far away for Joey to see what was written on it. Joey didn't think much of it, banged on the door and walked out.

Just as he was about to go out, the golden-bearded David stopped him again: "Remember, don't ask, don't run around, beware... Curiosity will kill you, child. Hahaha. With that, the golden-bearded David let out another eerie laugh.

The night passed quietly like this, and Joey couldn't sleep all night, all kinds of questions swirling in his mind. Helmet, Old Parker, Goldenbeard David, Dragon Lady, New World??? Questions filled his head. Before I knew it, it was getting brighter, and Joey was woken up by a loud voice on the deck: "What's going on?" Joey asked, sleepily grabbing the sailor who had hurried past him.

"We've been attacked by pirates!"

"Huh?!" As soon as Joey heard this, a fierce man got up, and he didn't care about getting dressed, so he hurried to the deck with the flow of people. He quickly leaned against the railing and looked around, wondering who dared to attack the Goldbeard. I saw a boat in the distance that didn't look too big, and it was too far away to see what sign was hanging on it.

Joey hurriedly found Silly Tu: "How's the situation?" โ€

Silly Tu was extremely happy to see Joey: "You actually came back alive?" He let you go? How did you do that? โ€

"Do you still have time to talk about this? Don't you see that we are being attacked? โ€

"Relax, you haven't seen the world, the guy we are facing is called Max, he is a famous pirate in the far sea, he is crazy, he dares to try anything, people call him crazy Max."

"So what? Is he preparing to shell us now? โ€

"What, so what?" Silly Tu didn't seem to think so, "Do you think our Goldbeard will be afraid of him?" His ship is a well-known fast horse because of its small sails and big sails, but for the sake of speed, his artillery fire is not good, and he is only equipped with some long-range light artillery, even if it hits our ship, it is only a tickle. โ€

"Isn't he sent to death? So why confront us here? The more Joey listened, the more confused he became.

"Mikes, it's the kind of opportunistic pirate, if you don't give him some benefits, he will always pester you, you can't easily catch up with him, he will keep harassing you with one shot at a time, you say it's annoying. Usually they will give him a little sweetness, and he will leave. I guess he just didn't expect to meet us this time. Silly Tu explained.

At this time, the golden-bearded David and the silver-haired walked out of the command room together, and the golden-bearded David smiled contemptuously: "Hehe, what a Mike, dare to spread wild on Lao Tzu, I will let you have no return today." After saying that, he turned around and gave Silver Hair a look.

Silverhair said to the sailors on deck, "Guys, pull out our enhanced yodel cannon and give him a taste!" โ€

"Enhanced? Yodel? "Silly Tu didn't seem to have heard of this cannon and was surprised.

"What? You haven't heard of it either? Joey asked.

"All I know is that we have yodel cannons on board, what does this reinforced mean. I haven't heard of it yet. โ€

"What, this cannon is powerful?"

"It's our longest-range artillery fire, and with a booster all of a sudden, it looks like this Max is suffering."

I saw the silver-haired majestic standing in front of the command platform and shouting: "The right rudder is full, pulled, and the double-shot cannon is ready." โ€

"Twin cannon preparations."

"Twin cannon preparations." There was a shouting from the deck.

"Hey, isn't it a yodel?" Joey pulled the fool and said.

"You stupid boy, this is a tactic, let him let down his guard so that he can get close to us, and then we will start him." After speaking, he quickly pulled up Joey and continued: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and tighten this sail rope." โ€

Joey tugged on the sail rope as he watched the silver-haired command skills.

Seeing that the Goldbeard gradually caught up, Mix seemed to sense something, and turned the bow of the ship to retreat.

But it seems that it is already too late, "the left twin-fired cannon fired!! Silverhair shouted.

"Fire!" "Fire!"

I saw a series of graceful ballistics from the left side of the Goldbeard, flying towards Mix in the distance. "Boom, boom, boom" came out with bursts of artillery fire, but due to the distance, the shellfire only occasionally hit Mikes. It seems that the hull injuries were not serious. I saw that Mix hurriedly turned the bow of the boat with the right full rudder, raised the side sail, and approached at full speed.

"Beautiful, report distance !!" The silverhead shouted loudly.

"Report to the sir, the other side is within range of our yodel cannon."

"Good," silverhair smiled dismissively, "aim." Fire!!! โ€

"Fire!" "Fire!"

Twenty or thirty rounds of artillery fire were fired from the left side of the ship in an instant, and the shells cut a trail of smoke in the air, and smashed viciously at Max. The cannonballs smashed into Max's ship, sending up thick smoke that instantly surrounded them.

"Wow, this is the enhanced version? Smoke is smoke. Silly Tu seemed a little excited, "It's too powerful, they can't run away now." โ€

"Right rudder full, full speed ahead, lean in, ready to board." Silver Hair seemed satisfied.

After a while, the Goldbeard leaned in, "Hook the enemy ship, prepare to board the ship, and fire freely!" Silverhair commanded, "Hahaha." โ€

"Ahh Come on!!! โ€

"Kill."

I saw the two ships parked side by side in the smoke, and the dense sailors on the Goldbeard rushed to the enemy ship shouting along the gangway. There were also countless sailors in the air pulling cables and speeding towards the enemy ships.

Seeing this, Silly Tu was very excited, drew his sword and said to Joey, "Hehe, let's go kill a few pirates and have fun." Come on! Before Joey could react, Silly Tu had already rushed out.

Joey didn't seem interested in burning, killing and looting, he looked back at the command room, and the golden-bearded David didn't come out at all, and the silver hair was at the door of the command room proudly watching this insignificant victory, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Goldbeard to take the enemy down.

"Haha, supplies are here, that's great."

"Sir, and the shells."

There was a lot of good news on deck. I saw a row of enemies tied up on the deck and waiting for the captain to give them orders. The golden-bearded David slowly walked out of the command room and said contemptuously to the leader in front of him, "You are Mike?" Haha, if you dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head today, you have the guts. โ€

"Bah," saw Mike spat disdainfully, "who would have thought that you would also run to such a far sea, I will be planted in your hands today, but you remember, don't let our boss touch you next time." He will surely avenge me. โ€

"Hahaha, what a joke, why can't my Royal Guards come here, is this your territory?" The golden-bearded David replied with a smile, "As for the boss you said, I don't care who he is, even if I let you go back, if you have the life to go back, remember to help me bring the words, my golden-bearded David is waiting for you at any time." Hahaha," the golden-bearded David finished laughing again.

He glanced at the silver-haired beside him, and the silver-haired understood: "Untie Mike, give him a small boat, and let him fend for himself at sea." Hahahaha. โ€

"David, you are shameless. My boss Liu Wu will definitely avenge me!! You wait!! Mix seemed to be full of anger and was dragged down by two strong men.

"Liu Wu? Does he mean Liu Wuye? โ€

"Fifth Master Liu is his boss?"

I saw exclamations from the crowd. "Captain, should we think about it, don't do this to Mikes, his boss is actually ...... It's Liu Wuye. Silverhair seemed to have some concern, and said to the golden-bearded David.

"What, you're scared too?" The golden-bearded David glared at the silverhead, turned around and said, "Do it!! โ€
