Chapter 8: The Royal Wave

The Royal Wave follows the currents and sails against the monsoon. As the main battleship of the Royal Guard, the Royal Wave has the ability to sail the seas, and with its massive mainmast and two excellent auxiliary masts, it doesn't look much slower than the Goldbeard. The neat muzzle on the ship's waist looked terrifying.

Delmar stood on the bow of the ship and looked into the distance, and after so many days of driving, he still didn't know where to go. He took out the Discord Compass from his pocket again, but the compass was still spinning and turning, and there was no way to determine the direction.

"Delmar, it's been so many days, and it's not a way for us to drive forward aimlessly like this." When Big Brother Sihai saw Delmar standing at the bow of the boat, he stepped forward and asked.

Delmar looked a little helpless: "Hey... There is no direction, and even if there is a chart, I don't know where to go. After saying that, Delma looked into the distance and sighed: "Joey, where are you?" ”

"Dema, the old artillery commander asked you to go to the command room, there should be something to discuss with you." The second brother of the four seas ran over and said.

"Oh, okay, I'll go." Delmar collected her attention, put Discord's compass in her pocket, and headed for the command room.

Delmar followed the two brothers to the command room and found the secretary tied to a chair and his mouth covered with a canvas. Lao Cannon and Doomsday were silently smoking on the side, and their faces seemed to be full of sorrow.

"What happened? What did the secretary do? Delmar didn't know the truth and hurriedly asked.

"Delmar, our trip is in crisis. I thought this mouth cannon would give us some useful information, but who knew that he was here to argue with me all the time, so I called you to see if you could convince him. "The old artillery commander didn't seem to expect that the person he had personally selected would also cause him so much trouble.

"Oh, you loosen him first, I think he must know something."

The Sihai brothers were just about to step forward to untie the secretary, but Delmar stopped them: "It's better for me to come by myself." ”

With that, Delmar stepped forward and removed the canvas that had been stuffed in the secretary's mouth.

"Ahh You're finally willing to let me speak, you rough people don't know what etiquette is. The secretary seemed a little angry.

"Less nonsense, if I can pull you on the boat, I can afford you." Doomsday seems to be a little angry.

Delmar signaled that the end would not be said again, stepped forward and patted the secretary on the shoulder and said, "I just heard that you are a storyteller in the square, but since the old gun captain wants you to go on the ship with you, it means that you are not simple." This time my brother is missing, and I really need to rely on your information, I hope you can help me find my brother. With that, Delmar folded her hands and thanked the secretary.

"yes, that's hospitality, then... Why don't you let the adults loosen my bonds? The secretary suddenly became proud.

Delmar stepped forward to untie the ropes from his body herself.

"Well, do you know why I'm called a secretary? It's because I'm looking for strange information everywhere and being attached to various characters as a whole that I'm honored by everyone. The secretary couldn't wait to introduce himself.

"And do you know my brother Joey's whereabouts?" Delmar asked.

"Well, I think he might just go to the town to play." After saying that, the secretary laughed.

"Huh!" Doomsday and the Four Seas brothers drew their swords together: "You try to talk nonsense again!" ”

"Okay, good, adults, just say the little one." The secretary paused for a moment and continued, "I think your brother is on the ship of the Goldenbeard David. ”

"Davy the Goldenbeard?" Everyone exclaimed in unison.

"Yes, that day I was strolling around the sentry box by the dock, ready to see what I could get my hands on, but unexpectedly, I saw the golden-bearded David and a strong man coming over. I clearly saw that the strong man was carrying your brother Joey on his shoulder. The secretary flipped the chair over and sat on it, looking very contemptuous.

"Sir, it seems that my brother is really in big trouble, and the golden-bearded David is not so easy to mess with." Delmar said to the old cannon after listening.

The old cannon pondered for a moment, pointed at Delmar and said, "You quickly take out the Discord Compass and take a look, maybe it has already told you the direction." ”

Delmar hurriedly took out the compass from his pocket, and it ...... It really doesn't turn anymore. The needle pointed straight to the east.

"The East, yes, it's the East, they must be over there." Delmar instantly became very excited and excited, as if she would be able to see her brother Joey soon.

"Doomsday, the four seas, you hurry up to the deck, beckon the sailors to go due east, sail forward!!" The old cannon hurriedly said to Doomsday and the Four Seas.

"Yes, sir!" The three of them hurriedly ran to the deck and beckoned everyone to move forward at full speed.

At this time, there were only three people left in the house: Lao Cannon, Delmar and the secretary.

Lao Afraid took a puff of cigarette and said lightly: "Secretary, now it's just the three of us, you can tell everything you know." ”

"What else does he know?" Delmar seemed a little surprised.

"Hehe, Brother Pao, when you and I killed the enemy at sea, did you ever think that I would still be alive? I survived and saved my life, and now that you need me, do I have any reason to help you? "The secretary seems to have had an unknown past with Lao Cannon.

"That's... At that time, what can I do to save you? I was lucky to be able to save the lives of a ship full of sailors. I gave you the only boat you escaped, and then I could only watch you silently, but I didn't dare to face you, I was wrong, but I hope that this time our brothers can join forces again. The news you've gotten over the years can really help us save our homeland. The old cannon seemed very sincere, hoping that the secretary could help him.

Delmar was surprised when he listened: "You have known each other for a long time? ”

"Hehe, at that time we were the famous twin evils of the Guard. The two of us have never failed to go to sea together to kill the enemy. But that time, it was because I met Davy the Goldenbeard that I almost didn't come back alive. After saying that, the secretary spat on the ground fiercely: "That despicable villain! ”

"Goldbeard? Isn't he also a Guard? The more Delmar listened, the stranger it became.

The old cannon suddenly interjected: "Yes, that time, our two warships went to sea together to exterminate the pirates, and after successfully completing the mission, we went to the enemy ship to collect the loot." Who knew that Goldbeard wanted to take it all by himself. I was in command aboard the Great Wave, and the secretary went aboard to collect it with David. David turned around and ordered the Goldbeard to open fire on us. ”

"And then? What happened again? Delmar asked.

"Don't mention it. Old cannon. Let's forget about the past. The secretary seemed reluctant to bring up the past.

"Secretary. We might see Goldbeard again this time. So it's better to let Delmar know something. ”

"Alright, I'll tell you. David fought me on the enemy ship, and we couldn't hold each other. Seeing this, David ordered the Goldbeard to open fire on the Great Wave. The Great Wave was certainly no match for the Goldbeard, and the old cannon could only give the order to retreat. And I was still fighting Goldbeard on enemy ships. ”

The old cannon took over the conversation: "I had no choice but to go first, hoping to save our Julang and the sailors on board." I could only watch the secretary fight the pirate ship alone with Goldbeard, but there was nothing I could do. After sailing away, I lowered a dinghy in the hope that my secretary would have a chance to escape. ”

"I felt like I was unlucky, but people always have to think about protecting themselves. When I saw the Great Wave go away, I jumped into the sea. Goldbeard seemed to think that I must be dead, so he didn't chase after me. The secretary seemed to be a little depressed, but he continued: "Fortunately, Goldbeard did not chase him, and I was lucky enough to find the boat that the old cannon left for me, so that I could save my life." Later, Goldbeard returned and said that he had defeated the pirates on his own, and that he had received great merit and had become a model for the Guards. ”

"But he always went his own way, and didn't take the Guards seriously. Because of his power, I didn't tell what happened back then, for fear of being persecuted by him, and the secretary was branded a deserter by him, so I could only be a storyteller in the square and talk about some strange things. Thankfully, Goldbeard didn't take the two of us seriously, thinking that we weren't a threat to him. The old cannon also seems to have some self-blame for the past.

"Alright, Delma, let's not talk about the unhappy things in the past." The secretary changed his tone, "I am willing to come this time, in fact, the first is to avenge the hatred of the year, and the second is of course to help you find your brother." I hope you keep what happened to me and Lao Cannon in front of anyone. ”

"Okay, no problem, but what do we do next?" Delmar said.

"That day I was surprised to see Goldbeard and the guards carrying your brother, so I went up to find out. Unfortunately, I didn't dare get too close, so I didn't listen very carefully to their conversations. They were only heard talking about a helmet that would be an important aid in their movements. David also specifically instructed the guard beside him to hide it. ”

"Helmet? What helmet? Delmar didn't seem to figure it out.

"I don't know about this, I just like to ask around for some news, some of which are right and some are wrong. This time I heard it with my own ears. I'm sure they must be plotting a big conspiracy. The secretary answered.

"Well, anyway, at least for now the Discord Compass points to where we're going. Let's hope we have a chance to catch up with them. The current and the direction of the wind are very suitable for us. If the Goldbeard is headwinding right now, we might have a chance to catch up with them. The old cannon said as he looked out the window.

"Sir, Secretary, thank you for your help this time."

"Delmar, you don't seem to know what might happen if we didn't make a move this time." The old cannon looks like he has something to tell Delmar.

"What's the matter?" Delmar hurriedly asked.

"Why are you so slow. Don't you know......" The secretary was about to say when he was interrupted by shouts outside.

"Sir!! Sir!!! Come up and have a look!! ”

The old gun, Delmar, and the secretary hurried to the deck.

"Not good!" The old cannon and the secretary shouted almost together.

I saw a huge tornado blowing on the surface of the sea in the distance, stirring up the waves on the sea surface and rolling up a huge whirlpool. And the Royal Wave was heading straight for the whirlpool.
