A puddle of wine reflects the bright moon, and against the dark background, the moon looks as white as jade. The next moment, a drunk man staggered by, trampling a puddle of water to pieces. The tavern door overflowed with clear music, a mixture of harp, acoustic guitar, and tambourine, and the bard sang emotionally, but there was no pirate who could understand the meaning of the tune.

Donk and a group of his men walked to the hotel, and after coming out of the Great White Shark Shipyard, he went straight to the docks to find out where the One-Eyes were going. One-Eye lived up to his promise, went through various formalities, and looked for a few suitable places to live. Donk planned to rest for the night, the recruitment of the Heartsnatcher Ammonite could drag on for a few days, and it would be too abrupt for him to bring the Heartsnatcher Ammonite to Garvey that night.

Although he had already decided to use the Heartsnatcher Ammonite Beast as one ear's tuition, he didn't say anything about it, and sold a pass, intending to surprise one ear. Because of his secretive attitude, one ear was fogged and scratched his head.

It is a three-storey inn called "Old Musket", and the interior decoration and furnishings are very elegant, giving people the illusion of entering the aristocratic mansion. There is a high-grade wool carpet on the floor, and when you enter the door, there are beautiful women who come up to greet you with a smile, and there are long rows of clean stained glass on both sides of the corridor.

Trying to sleep soundly, Donk parted ways with one ear and walked to his room. He was just about to push the door open and enter, when he heard a rush of footsteps in the hallway, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be a subordinate who had rushed over. He stopped opening the door and waited for his men to come closer.

"Captain, after we landed, the mother and son asked to talk to you. The woman also asked me to send you a message, and she said: 'I am willing to accept all the conditions, and I beg you to set sail quickly and send our mother and son home.' The bearded pirate in a purple turban bowed and explained.

Tang Ke showed a light smile that the conspiracy had succeeded, he was not surprised, Alyssa would definitely be frightened after such a terrifying storm, and naturally he would not dare to waste time any longer.

"Good news, I'll be very happy if she says yes when she's at sea. But now, I have other things to do, and I don't have time to mess with her. Go and tell her that I will set sail as soon as possible, and tell her to wash herself and wait for me. Donk said lightly that he was just treating Alyssa as a plaything, and since it was a plaything, of course he had to leave it to fiddle with when he was extremely bored.

"Commander, forgive me for talking too much. The woman looked anxious, and if you didn't see her, she would probably go crazy. The bearded pirate laughed twice, "Besides, she's good-looking, so it's okay to go and see her, right?" ”

"Crazy? Wouldn't that be more fun? Just leave her there. ”

The bearded pirate was embarrassed and nodded, "Okay." I understand. ”

Tang Ke was just about to send his men away, but he remembered something halfway through, and beckoned: "By the way, you can bring another message to One-Eye, tell him to work harder, and help me settle all the sailors' accommodations." Also, if there are any small things in the pirate group these days, let him deal with them as well. ”

"I'll take those words to Captain One-Eyed."

"Well, there's nothing else."

"Then I wish you a good night, I'm stepping down." The bearded pirate said respectfully, turned away, and disappeared at the end of the hallway.

Donk opened the door slowly, his eyes glazed over, and he was thinking about something. He doesn't like tedious work such as financial management, port affairs, and personnel arrangements, and has the heart to share these anxious things, but most of the pirate group are five big and three rough men, and few can reassure him. As for the one-eyed guy, although he is very reliable, according to the one-eyed surname, he will not like this kind of work.

"It seems that we have to consider recruiting a managerial talent." Donk closed the door, and the image of an old butler came to mind, and he needed such a reliable and resistant helper.

The dragon pirate group has developed to the present, and there is a talent gap, and it is unrealistic for Tang Ke to recruit all through the system, and this huge gap still has to be recruited through the port. When they came to the Little Pirate City, in addition to the two important things of shipbuilding and ship repair, recruiting sailors was also the top priority.

…… Pirate ports always have a sense of chaos and disorder, and even if the pirate group stays here, they will not dare to take it lightly. On each of the ships docked along the coast there were pirates guarding the ships, and no one dared to leave the ships completely under the control of the port.

The Sky was no exception, with Frankie, Spitter Frog, captives, and some pirates still on board and used it as a residence.

"What? You say he's busy right now and too lazy to see me? After hearing the story of the bearded pirate, Alyssa couldn't even believe her ears, a few days ago, Donk was like a little gluttonous cat who was fascinated by her, how did he put up a shelf now?

The bearded pirate glanced at Alyssa's delicate and touching little appearance, and secretly envied the blessing of the regimental leader, and he would definitely live happily if he spent the night with such a woman. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I forgot the original words, I guess that's what I meant." However, he promised to set sail as soon as possible, and said that you would wait for him in vain. ”

Washed in vain!?

Alyssa thought deeply, and then saw the bearded pirate's somewhat obscene expression, and suddenly felt embarrassed. Her face suddenly became hot and red all the way to the base of her ears. She said in a panic, "Okay, okay, I know what he means." Thank you, thank you for passing the word. ”

With that, Alyssa slammed the door shut, not wanting to see the bearded pirate's face again. She leaned against the door, her breathing was disordered, her full chest rose and fell, and the charm of a woman's surname was difficult to hide even in a male sailor's suit.

She pondered Donk's thoughts, maybe the pirate was trying to get away with it, maybe the pirate really didn't care about her, but whatever the reason, she felt very angry.

"This hateful, vile, heinous pirate." Alyssa gritted her teeth and said, looking like a little girl was coquettish.

"Mom, your face is so red." Jim sat on the bed playing with his pocket watch, looking at his mother in bewilderment, who had just broken free from the fear of the storm.

Alyssa was poked in shame and disguised: "It's just that it's too hot in the house, I'm fine, and besides, we're going home soon." ”

…… In the middle of the night, three days after the dragon pirate group docked, Donk led four of his men to an inaccessible shore. Four men pushed a small wooden cart with four wooden wheels underneath it and a simple wooden cell on top.

During these days, Donk spent most of his time working on the construction of new ships, tweaking the details, and determining the amount and amount of new weapons to be purchased. He felt that the time had come, so he went to the shore tonight.

"Commander, what are we going to do here?" A pirate with a metal hoop earring asked curiously.

Donk walked at the front, one foot deep and one foot shallow, leaving a row of footprints on the sand. Only he carried a glass lamp in his hand, and the dim light was very dazzling in the night, and the shadows of several of them swayed in the light, like black paper cuts.

"Meet a big guy," Donk replied, thought for a moment, and corrected himself, "No, it's two big guys." ”

"Big guy?" Several of them looked at each other, and one of the smarter ones had a bright eye, "Commander, are you going to recruit new sea beasts again?" ”

"Hmm." Donk admits that he looked around a few times and listened intently, feeling that it was quiet around him, just a few of them.

The subordinates were interested, and they asked nonsense, wanting to know what the regiment commander was going to summon this time. However, Donk didn't answer seriously, only said that he would summon a sea beast with tentacles, so that they would be a little mentally prepared for a while.

Donk stood on the edge of the beach, the water submerging his boots, and the evening heat was gone, with a hint of coolness and the rhythmic sound of the waves.

He closed his eyes, and the starry sea vanished from his eyes, replaced by a computer screen-like system interface. He used his consciousness to enter the [Recruitment] column and retrieve the Heartsnatcher Ammonite. With more than 4,000 reward points in his hand, he can recruit a total of two juvenile Heart-Snatcher Ammonite Beasts, one can be used to give to the shipbuilder, and the other can be left in the pirate group to cultivate slowly.

The fossil at the Great White Shark Shipyard was only a man tall, and it was clearly a juvenile Heartsnatcher Ammonite, and if it was in its prime, it would have reached an astonishing length of more than eighty yards!

Tang Ke named both Heartsnatchers Ammonites Xiao Zhang, and was not worried about the problem of duplicate names, because only one of the two ammonitemons could survive, and the other would only need to be used as a material for making weapons. It wasn't fair, but he had to be ruthless to do it.

"Come out. Come to me! Donk opened his eyes, his eyes as bright as starlight. The cry jumped over the waves and stretched far away.

There was a quick response from the sea, and the sound of tentacles crashing on the surface of the sea came back, but it was too far away to be clear. Donk waited patiently for a while, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he saw two figures swimming in the sea. When they got closer, more than thirty tentacles resembling octopuses stretched out from the sea, and then two heart-snatching ammonite beasts crawled out.

The two guys were still children, only ten yards long, with a white snail shell on their backs and gray-white tentacles that concealed a flowing black shadow power with hidden spikes at the ends of the tentacles. If you don't look at the hard shell on its back, the Heart Slayer Ammonite is very similar to the Octopus, but the tentacles are much more numerous than the Octopus, the thickness is uneven, and the Ammonite has a large mouth with sharp teeth, which looks even more hideous.

The four men shouted in the back, not afraid of the strange-looking Heartsnatching Ammonite, but happy that the pirates had added such a boost.

One of the small chapters stretched out his tentacle and wanted to touch Tang Ke's face, which was a very intimate action. Donk didn't dodge or dodge, letting the wet tentacles touch his cheeks, it was a little cold, and the tentacles were soft.

Tang Ke stared at the huge eyeballs on either side of the two small chapters, each of them for a moment.

"Lord, master." Xiao Zhang slurred his words, and his wisdom was barely able to learn the lingua franca, but it could only express simple meanings.

"Can you understand me?" Donk asked, and the tentacles of the two small chapters were removed at this time.

"Yes." The other small chapter nodded hurriedly.

Tang Ke knew that the long pain was better than the short pain, and he was determined to finish it quickly. He took out a silver coin, put it in the palm of his hand, and showed it to the two small medallions.

"Look. These are two sides of the coin, one side is heads and one side is tails, you two have to choose different sides, and after a while, this coin will decide your fate. ”

"What do you mean? Xiao Zhang didn't understand. ”

Donk had to repeat this several times until the two chapters figured out the meaning of the front and back of the silver coin, and understood how the "game" was played.

"I see, I'll choose the positive." Xiao Zhang raised his tentacle and said.

"I'll choose the positive too." The other small chapter is still a little ignorant.

Donk waved his hand and said, "You can't choose the same face. ”

"Then I'll pick the opposite." The small chapter in the back had to change his words.

"Let the coins decide your fate." Determined to reveal the brutal answer, Donk tossed the coin into the air while looking up and taking it into his hand after it had spun in rapid motion for countless times. He took a deep breath before slowly moving his hand, the king's head of the silver coin shone brightly, "It's obverse." ”

"I've chosen!" Xiao Zhang, who didn't know why, cheered, and fell in love with the master who loved to play games.

Tang Ke stared at the small chapter abandoned by fate, and said solemnly, "I'm sorry, you were chosen. I'm going to do something too much to you, something that you don't want to accept. He pulled out the Bloody Moon scimitar from his waist, the sharp blade of which reflected the starry night sky, "You can use this knife to slash me, this is considered to be compensation for you." When you feel like you hate me, think about it. At that time, you'll be a little better. ”

"I can't cut you." The selected Xiao Zhang said categorically.

"It's an order, you have to do it." Donk continued to walk in the sea, holding the scimitar flat and forcing it into Xiao Zhang's tentacles.

"No way!" Xiao Zhang's tentacles trembled.

"Hurry up, this is my first order to you, and it may be the last. You're going to have to cut me with this knife. Tang Ke felt that he could feel at ease by doing this, otherwise he would really be sorry for Xiao Zhang.

"Okay then." Xiao Zhang reluctantly rolled the handle of the scimitar, and it raised the scimitar in a slashing gesture.

Even if they were slow to react, they could see the clues, and they rushed over one after another, trying to stop the knife and dissuade them.

Donk threw one of his men back to shore and said calmly, "Don't meddle with your business, this knife is necessary." ”

"Captain! Don't do it! ”

"Why is that?"

"Even if you want to cut it, let me replace you!"

Several of his men shouted fiercely, but as soon as they stepped forward to stop them, they were thrown back to shore by Donk, which even angered Donk.

At this time, Xiao Zhang finally swung a knife, but it only symbolically touched Tang Ke's clothes, and it was not lethal.

"I'm done." Xiao Zhang handed the scimitar back, its tentacles were very flexible.

Feeling a deep feeling, Donk took the scimitar and aimed it at his left arm.

"If you can't do it, let me do it myself. Regardless of whether this knife is deep or shallow, it can be regarded as my heart. As soon as Tang Ke's words fell, there was already an extra wound on his left arm, although it would not damage the muscles and bones, but it was definitely very deep, and the blood dripped in the seawater, like a red flower.

"Are you hurt, is it painful?" Xiao Zhang asked, trying to touch Donk's wound.

Donk tore off a piece of fabric from his clothes, tied up the wound, and said, "Leave this alone, go into the cage yourself." ”
