CH.161 Killing Chickens and Monkeys

The flotilla has been at sea for a week, during which the wind and waves have been calm, and nothing major has happened.

Donk's physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and after only a week, the wound is already healed. He could feel the itching sensation of his flesh healing every day, but he didn't dare to scratch it, it was quite torturous.

As for Alyssa's mother and son, they were left aside by Donk and ignored.

Alyssa is under house arrest, but is still allowed to come and go under the watchful eye of the pirates. She saw the direction of the fleet on the deck and was disturbed to discover that the pirates were not heading to Dragon's Tooth. Sailing at sea was undoubtedly dangerous, not to mention that it was an illegal pirate ship, and she didn't want her children to take that risk. She is like an ant on a hot pot, both painful and unable to escape the current predicament.

Alyssa knew in her heart that under this torment, she would have to agree to Donk's rude request sooner or later to give away both treasures and herself. But it was really hard to let her agree immediately, and she could only delay it for now.

"Mom, can you tell me a story? I can't sleep right now. Little Jim was lying in his mother's warm arms, and he could smell the peculiar smell of milk.

Alyssa barely squeezed out a smile, stroked Jim's delicate face a few times, and said softly, "Okay, I'll tell you one." Since you are on the sea, I will tell you a story about the god Neptune. Legend has it that there is a king at the bottom of the sea who rules all fish, and he has a powerful trident......"

Halfway through the story of the god Neptune and the trident, Jim was already asleep, his mouth slightly open, revealing the tip of his young tongue.

Alyssa kissed her son's forehead, looked at his son's face, and muttered, "For you, I have to go through any kind of difficulty." It's just dedication, and all I can do is make it a nightmare. ”

Speaking of nightmares, she thought of Donk's unruly face, which seemed to be a bit too much to describe as a nightmare, and Donk wasn't so terrifying.

…… The captain's room swayed with the waves, but it didn't interfere with Donk, who was immersed in his hard work. This time, the book he was holding in his hand was "Ship Watch and Collision Avoidance", which was undoubtedly a very boring book, but he was a captain himself, and because of his professional counterpart, he actually read it with relish.

"Bump, bump, bump......"

It doesn't matter if you shake, but you can't ignore the knock on the door. Before Donk could agree, the door had already been pushed open by One-Eye, and the gunman swaggered in and sat down in his chair unceremoniously.

Donk glanced at it, saw that it was one-eyed, and looked back at the book.

"Is it lonely to look for me so late?" Tang Ke teased without raising his head.

"With her by my side, I will never be lonely." One-Eye took off the pistol hanging in front of him, causing it to spin rapidly on his index finger like a windmill. The so-called "she", naturally, refers to the gun.

"It's really a good couple, I wish you all to grow old together." Donk continued to tease.

The one-eyed who had never been smiling also curled the corners of his mouth, and then he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, I'm here to get down to business." I've heard a bit of bad wind on the ship lately, and some of the sailors recruited in the port of the Lady of the Chronicle are scratching their heads, and they are feeling very upset because you provoked the Naga fishmen. ”

"They're scratching their ass?" Tang Ke closed the book with a slam and frowned.

"You are going to fight the cannibal pirate group for the sake of two people, many people don't understand this, they think that it is not right to make everyone worry about it for the sake of a few people."

"!" Donk took the case, "If they were captured by the Naga fishmen, would they still say such things?" I'm a pirate leader, how can I watch my men being eaten! I'm afraid of this and that all day long, and I'm a bullshit pirate! ”

Donk was like a powder keg, and the room was filled with the smell of gunsmoke.

One-Eyed had already anticipated Tang Ke's reaction, and reluctantly pressed his hand and said, "You dissipate your breath first, but don't use me as a punching bag and let me finish my words." Our pirate group is composed of two groups, one group of people are summoned by you, absolutely loyal to you, and dare to fight, and are the backbone of the pirate group. The other group of people are recruited from the port, and they are purely for money, and their loyalty to you is limited. It's like a balance between the two, maintaining a balance. ”

Donk's chest heaved and heaved, and the bandages on it had been reduced a bit, revealing new skin. He suppressed his anger before he sat down again, and said in a muffled voice, "This is a real problem, I have considered it for a long time, but it is not enough to bring my pirate group to pieces. ”

"Nothing will fall apart, of course, unless the sailors are utterly disappointed in you."

The Pirates are a subtle and crazy group, extremely restless. When a group of outlaws gather together, it is inevitable that some internal contradictions will arise. Not only does the pirate leader have the right to execute sailors, but if the sailors are dissatisfied with the captain, a riot may break out, overthrow the pirate leader's rule, and elect a new pirate leader.

"I'm not going to let that happen, and even if there's a crack, I'm going to fill it." Tang Ke said categorically, he had been in the black * road, and he was confident that he would treat this boss well.

"The second group of people will pay attention to your movements, and if it suits their wishes, of course it will be calm. But if they are dissatisfied, there will be dissent. For example, this time, the Naga Fishmen scared a lot of people, they felt that the future of the Dragon Pirates was bleak, and they had the idea of quitting the group, and they were still spreading bad rumors when they were bored. "One-Eyed can come to Donk for this matter, which shows that there are quite a few people who think this way.

"I already understand what you said. In this case, let's make an example of the monkey. A fierce light flashed in Donke's eyes, and he must not tolerate this kind of fly feces in a pot of soup.

"That's what I came here for." One-Eye nodded.

The style pursued by the Dragon Pirates is to move forward as one, and if you don't have the same heart as everyone, you really can't stay in the pirate group.

"But don't listen to those rumors, lest you kill the wrong person. I want you to catch one on the spot, and give it to me to dispose of in public. Like I said, any crack should be filled, even if it is filled with blood. Donk said solemnly.

"Yes, my sir."

…… The next morning, on the deck of the Purgatory, a group of sailors had just finished scrubbing the deck and gathered together, drinking sweet rum and chatting. These people all joined the dragon pirate group in the port together, and they were not recruited by the system.

"Well, I wish we hadn't run into the Naga fishmen, and if we did, it would be a bad thing." A brown-haired sailor said worriedly. He drank a lot of wine, his face was flushed, and his foul mouth gradually lost the door.

"Shut your crow's mouth. Originally, I couldn't touch the Naga fish people, but when you said that, you had to run into it! Another old sailor with an oily face frowned and said, on the sea, it is better to believe in evil, and must not say those unlucky words.

"The head of the regiment was too reckless this time, and he actually went against the Naga fish people for the sake of two women, which was simply self-defeating. It's so unworthy for two women that a lot of us are worried all day long. The brunette sailor turned a deaf ear to the warning and continued.

"Come on. I think you're the only one who is afraid of the Naga fish-people. Another dwarf sailor interjected.

The brown-haired sailor chuckled disapprovingly, "You're not afraid? When you meet a group of Naga fishmen at sea, see if you can be so tough. ”

"Afraid of this and that, what are you doing as a pirate?" A grim and low voice sounded, which did not belong to anyone present, but made the group of sailors feel familiar.

The sailors shuddered, looked hurried over to the speaker, and found One-Eye standing behind with a strained face. They don't feel good, and no one dares to squeak anymore. Especially the brown-haired sailor with the most mouth, his head was in a cold sweat, and most of the wine was sober.

In front of everyone's eyes, One-Eye grabbed the brown hair and pulled it up mercilessly.

The brown-haired sailor burst into tears of pain, and though he was not sure what had gone wrong, he hurriedly pleaded: "One-eyed captain! Please spare me! I'm willing to brush the deck for the rest of my life! ”

One-Eye shook his head coldly and said, "It's useless, you've been designated as that chicken." ”

"Chickens?"

"That's right, it's chickens."

One-Eye left no room for explanation, so he took the brown-haired sailor from his weapon, and then ordered the sailor to kneel with his head in his hands, waiting for the captain to fall.

It's a play that Donk and One-Eye have booked, but the brown-haired sailor wants to play in friendship without knowing whether he is alive or dead.

The flotilla stopped for this, and the Sky and the Purgatory sideboarded side by side. Donk came to the Purgatory with a murderous look, his eyes as if it were deep darkness, making people feel deep fear.

This time, the punishment was based on the common practice of pirates, which was called "seesaw". The person to be punished is to stand on the gunwale, and his whole body is to be tied, but he can carry a dagger in his pocket. The person being punished is forced to jump into the sea, in which case the possibility of escape is almost zero.

"Commander, I know I was wrong, and I shouldn't question your decision." The brown-haired sailor's eyes were already swollen from crying, and he was already standing on the seesaw, facing the sea, and he could feel the chill of the sword coming from his back.

Donk is the one with the sword in his hand, and he can give the brown-haired sailor a cool blow with just one stab.

"It's not just you who is at fault, but it's a pity that you're the chicken. I was hurt trying to save my men, but my men were saying bad things about me behind my back, which made me very unhappy, so I had to vent it. ”

Tonk stabbed the tip of the brunette sailor's back, forcing the brunette to take a small step forward, closer to the endless ocean floor.

"Commander, give me a chance!" The brunette sailor cried.

Donk stabbed out the second sword, and then said, "This is the chance, I didn't kill you with a single shot, but let you play a game of survival in the sea." You might even be able to meet a mermaid and have a romantic interracial relationship. ”

"Captain!"

"Goodbye, future mermaid prince."

Donk kicked down, and the brunette sailor's tears flew in midair.
