Donk walked down the stairs to the dimly lit cabin, which smelled musty in addition to the smell of the sea. There was an oil lamp hanging from the roof of the cabin, which glowed greasy, and on the lampshade lay lazy moths. He went around the hold and the galley, and found a bottle of wine, a few pieces of cured meat, and a large piece of bread.

The spit frog in the cell was even more emaciated, thin like a suffocated balloon, with a dry tongue hanging from its mouth. As soon as the protruding eyes saw Tangk, they immediately rushed up to it, grabbing the railing with their webbed claws.

"Dear Captain, please forgive me for my previous offense!"

Tang Ke stared at the big toad for a while, and then he made it clear and said, "You figured it out?" ”

"Yes, I am willing to answer all your questions and serve you in exchange for my life." It could see that Donk didn't bother to listen to it apologize, but cared about more important issues. It smacked its lips, stared at the food in Donk's hand, and begged, "Can you give me those things to eat?" ”

Donk readily agreed, and slipped the plate through the gap under the railing, and the floor was covered in mud and dirty.

Ignoring it any longer, the spit frog pounced on the food, grabbed the bread and devoured it, pulled out the cork of the wine, and poured it several times.

Tang Ke watched from the sidelines, and when he had nothing to do, he threw an investigation technique at the big toad.

Name: Trick or Treater

Species: Spitting Bomb Frog

Physical Attack: ☆

Ranged Attack: ★★ ☆

I didn't get much information, just a name. This trickster, the trickster, is inferior in attack power to his peers, probably because he's hungry these days.

Seeing that it had almost eaten, Donk began to ask what he wanted to know. Of course, if the poltergeist lied about the military or didn't cooperate, he wouldn't mind letting it go hungry any longer.

"Troublemakers, I wonder why you spit-out frogs serve the Black Toad Pirates."

It frightened a spirit, and said in a trembling voice, "You...... How do you know my name? ”

"I'm asking you questions, not you're asking me questions."

Its eyes drooped, it lowered its head and said, "Yes, I see." I won't ask you any more questions. Actually, our Spitting Frog clan originally lived on Pebble Island, but you prefer to call it Toad Island, our clan has no competitive spirit, and has always lived on the island without incident. We were not meant to serve any force. But the Frog Boss wrote a pact with Harold Haysom that the island's Spitting Frog would serve him for ten years. ”

"Harold Hazen." Donk repeated the name, and even though he hadn't met yet, he could feel the chill emanating from the enemy, "Have you seen him?" Is there anything special about him? ”

"Having only seen it once from afar, I am new here, equipped on this ship. Harold was driving a different ship, and that one was much bigger. When I saw him, he was punishing a sailor for making a mistake, and he skinned the sailor, and even I felt sick. As for the special, I feel that he is a particularly fierce person. Others, I can't remember. ”

Tang Ke frowned slightly, feeling that Harold was already a bit psychopathic, and to deal with such an enemy, he must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise he must be a big trouble.

"Who are you talking about the frog boss? Is that your leader? He asked again.

"Yes, it is the king of Toad Island, and we all obey its command."

"Why did Frog Boss make a contract with Harold? Aren't you free from the world? ”

"Because of a fish, Harold gave the frog boss a golden fish, that kind of fish is called the golden doll, and after the frog boss ate the fish, he agreed to conclude a contract, and in these ten years, we spitting bomb frogs will serve the black toad pirate group for free." The poltergeist looked dark, and he recalled the life of his kind at sea over the years.

"Just for a fish? You toads are really cheap. Donk didn't shy away from scoffing.

It didn't think anything of it, but asked, "That's the famous golden doll, haven't you heard of it?" ”

Saying this, Donk guessed that this fish should be unusual, and asked curiously: "Could it be that eating that fish can be aphrodisiac?" ”

It was stunned for a moment, but it didn't expect Tang Ke's thinking to be so unremarkable, and he shook his head and said: "It seems that you really haven't heard of it, the golden doll fish is the most famous ingredient in the sea, and it is useless in itself, but the taste of this fish is extremely delicious, exuding an irresistible temptation." Even if it is the king of a country, it is difficult to eat. ”

As soon as Tang Ke heard that it was just delicious, he lost interest like a cold water topping.

"Anyway, for the sake of a fish, all of your island toads have signed a deed of sale, and they have to work for Harold for ten years. Is that so? ”

"Yes." The trickster lowered his head again.

"So how many years have you been working?"

"It's been nine years."

"That's a year away, and you'll be free, huh?"

"Yes."

"A year is not long, but it is not short." Donk considered whether to stay out of the way for a while, and wait until the contract expired in a year, and Harold would be without the help of Spitting Frog, at which time it would be much easier to deal with him. And in a year's time, his evil dragon pirate group should also grow.

"By the way, why are you being locked up here?"

"Actually, it's not ......," it snapped up on the question.

"Your name is Trickster, which can't help but make people think of something." Donk squinted at it.

The troublemaker had no choice but to tell the whole story and tell some of his deeds. It used to be the same as its name, and it liked to make trouble everywhere, which was okay on Toad Island, but after it was arranged on Kedar's ship, it was put in a cell because of a few troubles, and it has been imprisoned for half a year, and now it has no temper at all.

"Alright, alright, I basically know what you are. Do you want to go out? If you want, be a gunner on this ship. But I told you in advance, if you don't behave, I'll make you look good. Donk said bluntly.

"Great Captain Donk, the troublemakers are here for you." It is nondescript to a gentleman's courtesy. In order to fill its belly, it can only promise to serve its enemies.

Donk nodded, it costs a lot of points to hire such a spitting frog, and it can recruit tricksters, so it should be a free artillery.

"Ding! You have a new crew member. ”

Donk laughed dumbly, this loyalty was really pitifully low, but he didn't care, anyway, even a spit frog couldn't make any waves. Although he promised to take the trickster as his subordinate, he did not let him out of the cell, but only promised to provide food. Even if the Spitting Bomb Frog is allowed to fight on the deck, it will be shackled and shackled to prevent it from escaping from the sea with a fierce slam.

He didn't expect that his first crew member would be a big toad, and his loyalty was so low. He returned to the upper deck, the sound of the waves sounding like the breath of an evil dragon, the hull of the ship swaying like a cradle, he took a sharp breath, exhaled the stench from the cabin, and felt much more comfortable and refreshed in his stomach.

"Look, there's a sea monster on the sea! Three hundred yards to the southeast. ”

The lookout shouted from above, and some of the sailors ran to join in the fun, some did not care, and some strange creatures were often seen at sea. Some of the people who joined in the excitement were lying on the side of the boat to watch, and some of them climbed the mast and stood on the sail boom to look out.

Donk picked up a monocular, which was his trophy. He stretched the telescope one by one, opened his eyes, and pressed it to the thinner end of the telescope, taking in the sea beast that was wreaking havoc on the surface of the sea. It looks like a seahorse, with a mane around its neck, big enough to despise sharks in the sea, and its teeth are like daggers.

He put down his binoculars and beckoned, "Go and bring that spitting frog with you, remember to bring it an iron cuff, and bring another box of shells." The helmsman turned me around and approached the monster on the surface. ”

The sailors departed, and in a few moments they went their separate ways, and the trickster stood beside the pirate captain with a sad face, and said that nothing good would happen.

"Well, can you kill it?" Donk said, pointing to the clearly outlined monsters on the sea.

"Give it a try. I haven't eaten for a few days, and now I'm tired and not necessarily able to hit far. The trickster didn't dare to postpone, stretched out his sticky tongue, swallowed the heavy cannonball into his mouth, held his strength, aimed at the sea beast and shot out, a parabolic trajectory, falling short on the sea.

Enraged by the splashing waves, the sea beast swam over with its head and tail wadding, and screamed.

"If you can't hit a single shot, I'll have someone stew you, and someone on this ship will definitely dare to eat you." Donk didn't even glance at the troublemaker, and calmly threatened.

The trickster broke out in a cold sweat, he knew too well the ruthlessness of these pirates. Death hung like a sharp blade over its head, and it increased the frequency of its shots, and after firing five shots in succession, it finally succeeded in hitting the sea beast, and the sea beast was seriously injured in one shot, and the sea was a blood red.

Donk gave the order to shoot, and he picked up a gun himself, and the bullet turned into a black line, killing the sea beast.

"Ding! You've discovered a new magical creature that adds 10 bonus points and it expands the Bestiary. ”

After a long time, he actually got the title of "Sea Monster Hunter", but that's a story for another time.
