CH.157 Beautiful Woman
"Donk, you have to be considerate of the difficulties of the Spitting Bomb Frog Clan." Crossscar said bitterly, "You've provoked the cannibal pirates, and if they come to retaliate, you're no match at all, so hurry up and run for your life." β
On the deck of the Sky, Donk sat on a wooden crate covered in bandages, opposite a tall, fat cross-scar, and beside him was the little girl Dew.
It's been five days since the conflict on the island, and a lot has happened in the meantime. For example, the Spitter Emperor and Cross Scar on the island talk to Tang Ke every day, in order to persuade Tang Ke and the plague gods to leave the island quickly. The Spitter Frog didn't want to clash with the Naga Fishmen, so he was naturally afraid that the island's Donk would become the fuse.
"Your makes my ears calloused. My ship has not yet been repaired, and it is not yet possible to go on a long voyage, and when it is repaired, I will naturally leave, and it will be useless if you hold my thigh and beg me to stay. After Tang Ke finished speaking, he stretched out his palm, and Hua Lu put the walnut kernel that had just been peeled on it, and he threw it in his mouth, and his mouth was immediately full of aroma. Flowery smiled sweetly and continued to smash the second walnut.
In order to rush to repair the ship, Tang Ke also recruited a group of carpenters and sailors two days ago and assigned them to work under Lu Ban.
Carpenter and Sailor: They have a good craft, and rotten wood can be transformed into magic in their hands. They were able to repair ships and make simple wooden items such as tables, chairs, benches, etc. from wood.
Repair Ability: β Skill: None.
Number of people: 30.
Loyalty: 91.
Fatigue value: 100.
Points required: 5.
Maintenance fee: 8 credits/person/month.
This particular sailor came into existence after the Battle of Harold, and they had little melee prowess, but they were excellent carpenters, and they happened to be the perfect match for ship repairers. With their help, the progress of ship repair was greatly accelerated. In the process of repairing the ship, Lu Ban was successfully promoted to a third-order ship repairer, marking a significant increase in the level.
"Anyway, you repair the ship and leave as soon as possible, the Naga fishman swims very fast, and if it goes to move the rescuers, it won't take a few days." Crossscar relentlessly persuaded as he desperately pushed Donk's ship into the sea.
Donk smirked, "I remember you said that Harold often used to shoot you, and I now know why he did it." β
"Why?"
"You're too long-winded! If you still pester me like this when you get on the boat in the future, be careful that I will shoot you with a gun. Donk made a pistol gesture and shot at Crossscar.
"Don't worry, if you don't get into trouble with us spitting frogs, I won't talk to you." Crossscar's face turned purple, and he said angrily.
"I hope so."
Crossscar rambled for a while before jumping off the deck and hopping back to shore.
Hualu looked at the back of Cross Scar and chuckled, "It's chubby, it looks like a ball from behind." β
"Okay, stop looking at it, continue to smash walnuts for me." Donk looked greedy and pointed to a bag of walnuts.
These days, under the nourishment of the missionary's holy water, the wounds have been glued together, and he can barely stand up and walk, but not too vigorously or the wound will crack open. As for the two gibbons, they were rescued by Seba Stephen and saved their lives, not only thanks to the missionary holy water, but also because of the tenacious vitality of the gibbons.
Red Locke, One Ear, and Owen are recovering better, and they are now able to eat meat and drink a lot.
Tonk was eating walnuts when he looked up and saw a sailor striding towards him, as if something was going on.
"Sir, after we killed the Naga fishmen, we rescued a group of people who were taken prisoner. They thanked us for the first two days, but now they want to talk to you. The sailor saluted and said that he was in charge of the cell himself.
"Want to talk to me? How many of them were there and how were they dressed? Donk asked, he hadn't taken the captives seriously all these days, and now it was time to deal with it.
"There were more than a dozen people in total, and a few of them were dressed quite brightly, and they looked like rich people. There is also a woman who looks very good, and her figure is also very good, and a pair of ** are about to burst their clothes, I think you should see it with your own eyes, sir. The sailor said then, and winked at Donk.
"If it's a rich man and a beautiful woman, there's still a bit of value to talk about." Donk slowly stood up, so as not to touch the wounds around him.
Blossom stepped forward to hold Donk and proposed, "If you want me to say that you should let them go." They were almost eaten by monsters, which is pathetic. And there are old people and children inside. β
Donk glanced at Dew and flicked her middle finger at the door of Dew's head. Hualu groaned in pain, clutching her reddened head, and stared at Donk for some reason, she couldn't understand why he hit someone.
"How can there be a reason for wolves to catch sheep and let them go directly." Donk pressed Flowerdew's head, "Don't forget that we are a group of pirates, a group of wicked people who make profits on the seas, and we must not let go of any opportunity that can bring profits. It's hard to get a group of rich captives, and if you don't squeeze them well, how can you have the face to say that you are pirates outside. β
Flower Dew stared blankly into Donk's eyes, her heart was complicated, because Tangk desperately saved him a few days ago, and she regarded Donk as a good person, but now she understands that this is just wishful thinking.
This man is always an unruly wolf king.
"Okay, I got it. Fortunately, it is much better to be taken for ransom than to be eaten, and the captives should be content. Hualu pouted, a little awkward, and stopped supporting Donk.
"That's right." Donk smiled wickedly and walked away with the sailor who had spoken earlier.
Even in the scorching summer, the iron bars of the cell had a fishy smell and moisture, and some parts had rusted off, and large pieces of iron sheets had fallen off. Fifteen captives were held in two cells, one with eleven men and one with a mother and son and an old woman. Among the straw mats spread on the ground, small black mice occasionally emerge, squeaking and running quickly.
On the day they were rescued, the gang was in a state of mind, and they were even grateful to the pirates, even if they were locked up in a prison cell. But people are always greedy and insufficient, and when life is worry-free, they begin to expect higher treatment. When at sea, they can only eat raw fish, which is not only lacking in nutrients, but also difficult to swallow. Now their best hope is to have grilled chicken thighs, sizzling fried pork slices or sticky porridge.
The people in the cells were in a depressed atmosphere, and the men were lying or sitting, and they had all the words they could say to each other, and they could only endure the slow passage of time in silence. In the next cell, the beautiful woman held her sleeping son and shook it gently. The old lady was still holding the yellowed Sacred Word and whispering the solemn and obscure words on it.
When there was the sound of footsteps on the stairs, the men in the cell were immediately refreshed, and two men with messy hair sprang up from the ground, sticking their faces out of the gap in the bars as far as possible, looking over there, and shouting, "We want to talk to your chief!" We can't just be locked up! β
The captives thought it was the jailer who came down.
Donk didn't answer, and walked to the iron prison without saying a word, looking at the people in the iron prison. Indeed, as the sailor said, although the gang was very embarrassed, they were not badly dressed, and at first glance they were people of high society, and it seemed that they were too unlucky to be caught by the Naga fishmen when they went out to sea by boat. His gaze shifted to another iron prison, where the old woman could not catch his eye, but the charming young woman with the boy in her arms made his eyes shine.
This woman was between twenty-five and thirty years old, and because of the dust around her, she concealed part of her appearance, but added a sense of pity. At first glance, she is the kind of woman who ripens the melon, and has the attraction that only mature women have, which is completely different from the budding feeling of flower dew.
The beautiful woman was also staring at Tang Ke, her eyes were a little old, and although her face was dirty, she felt radiant with a slight rub. She wore a men's coat, most likely to block the spring light from the chest of the women's dress. Wrapped in clothes, her chest produces a tight arc-shaped beauty that makes people can't help but think about it.
"It's a pity, if only I hadn't been hurt." That was Donk's first thought.
In the eye to eye, Tang Ke seems to be in silent communication with the beautiful woman. The beautiful woman retreated after two seconds, looking panicked, dodging Donk's aggressive gaze.
Because of Donk's arrival, the people inside the iron prison immediately fell silent. First, because Tang Ke has a superior majesty, and secondly, because he is covered in blood-stained bandages, there is an invisible ferocious aura.
"Y-Are you the leader of this pirate group?" The man holding the iron bar was the first to ask, if he wasn't forced to be helpless, he really wanted to hide far away, because the oriental man in front of him felt very bad.
"That's right, I am the supreme ruler of the Dragon Pirate Regiment, and your fate is all in the palm of my hand." Donk looked away from the beautiful woman.
"I'm begging you, give me a different living environment! And then let me take a shower, I haven't taken a shower in almost two months, it's almost unbearable! If you agree to my request, I swear I will repay you in the future! The male captive grabbed the iron bars and said fiercely.
Tang Ke looked at the sailor next to him playfully, and said with a smile: "This guy really doesn't understand the situation, and he actually talks about so many requests." β
The man said a few more whimsical words, when an older gentleman stepped forward from behind, and the gentleman interrupted the man, then took off his hat and said, "Hello dear pirate king, I have heard of the name of your pirate group, and you have made a duel agreement with Goldbeard, which shows that you are a man with a real surname." We are all grateful for your help. As a token of my appreciation, I would like to give you half of my possessions. β
The gentleman did not make any requests, but promised a reward so that if he wanted to be paid, Donk would have to send them home. Under the traction of interests, the pirates will give them certain preferential treatment.
"Interesting, how much do you have half of your family property?" Donk asked.
"I'm just a small merchant, and I only make you laugh when I talk about my family property, which is about five thousand gold coins." The gentleman replied.
Donk nodded, of course what the captives said would not be true, he could bargain as if he were making a deal, and he would only agree to send the captives home if the captives gave him a satisfactory amount. Next, he inquired in more detail about the experience of the captives.
These people are all residents of the Dragon's Tooth Country, most of them are merchants, and two people are sugar cane plantation owners, which can be regarded as middle- and upper-class people. Together, they took a short passenger boat to a scenic seaside city, and because the voyage was short, it only took three days to arrive, and no one was worried about accidents. But they were unlucky, and they ran into the crazy Naga fishmen, and they were all kidnapped to the food boat. Although they negotiated with the Naga Fishmen many times, the Naga Fishmen did not listen to them at all, and they were bent on treating them as food.
Although the Naga fishmen are embarrassed by the Dragon's Tooth Country and are the royal pirates of the Dragon's Tooth Country, they have always gone their own way, and the group will not consider what a cooperative relationship is.
The more these people talked, the more miserable they became, and some people couldn't help crying.
"We lived in fear all day long, every day someone was eaten by the Naga fishman, we watched from the sidelines, and one time, the skull that the Naga fishman lost landed at my feet, and I will never forget that image." A person howled and cried as he spoke, and finally released the mood that had been suppressed for many days.
The sleeping little boy was woken up, rubbed his eyes, looked at Donk, looked up at his mother and asked, "Is he also a pirate?" β
The beautiful woman made a silent motion, then looked at Donk again with a thoughtful expression.
"Well, I've understood your situation, and I have some sympathy for you. But I want you to understand one thing. Donk's eyes narrowed slightly, pointing to the inside of the iron prison, "You have only gone from one layer of hell to another, not from hell to heaven. I won't eat you, but I can throw you into the sea and feed the fish. Any pleas you make are pale in my eyes, and if you want anything from me, pay the price. For example, it costs 1,000 gold coins to change rooms, 2,000 gold coins to get a normal food supply, and 10,000 gold coins to go home. β
"What? 10,000 gold coins? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? "The people in the iron prison are all dumbfounded, this price is not affordable for the middle and upper class.
"It's hard for a strong man, right?" Donk smiled, "That's why the world hates pirates so much. We are on the sea, snatching your happiness to the fullest, and you should hate us. I'm not fit to stand for too long, and if you have any needs or conditions, you can tell my sailors, and I'll deal with them when the time comes. Finally, I wish you all a good time with the rats. β
With that, Donk left the screaming captives in the iron prison and walked straight across the hallway.
At this time, the beautiful woman in prison could no longer calm down, and she could not let go of this opportunity in front of her, "Pirate Chief, I have something I want to talk to you about alone!" β
The voice of the beautiful woman is very pleasant to the ear.
