"You're talking about the Mermaid Key?" Donk's heart pounded, his breathing stopped, and he didn't even believe his ears. He's been trying to open the Demon Chest, but the clue is broken when he learns the Mermaid Key, and now a new opportunity has finally appeared.

Alyssa gave Donk a strange look, her eyes clearly wondering about something.

"That's right, it's the Mermaid's Key, one of the world's most famous keys, capable of opening any lock, but it will turn into foam after one use. Do you have a lock that needs to be opened? If so, then the Mermaid Key will definitely be of great help. ”

Donk didn't want Alyssa to know that she needed the Mermaid Key, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Yes, I have a crush on a beautiful woman and want to use this key to open her heart, do you think it will work?" ”

"Y-You're kidding again." Alyssa's face flushed, and she subconsciously felt that the beautiful woman that Donk was referring to herself. A bead of sweat oozed from her forehead, her breathing began to fluctuate, and her hands folded on her legs clutched at her skirt.

Donk liked to see Alyssa's flustered appearance, and further teased: "What I said is true, I just don't know if that beautiful woman likes mummies or not?" ”

Alyssa glanced at Donk's chest and saw that it was full of bandages, and it really looked like a mummy. In normal times, she would be amused by such a strange look, but now she can't laugh at it.

"Let's get down to business. I wonder if this last treasure is to your liking? ”

"This treasure does have a lot of weight, but it's not enough to drive me to take you back at risk. My head is worth more than 10,000 gold coins, and the Dragon's Tooth Country has a holiday with me, so it would be much safer if I quoted the 'Prisoner Exchange Treaty', but would you agree?" ”

"Of course not!" Alyssa immediately vetoed it, and if she went back like that, the news that she had been captured by pirates would surely spread all over the world.

"That's it." Donk shrugged, "So I'll have to disguise myself and secretly send you back to the Twin Ports for a dangerous exchange with your Earl Husband." The stakes are high and it's a chore. With just a small key, I wouldn't say yes. ”

"And what do you want? I need an accurate condition. ”

"Well, I like your cheerful attitude. You are so happy as a woman, I will be a little happy, I only put forward three conditions, and I will never increase the price in the future, but you have no room for bargaining. Donk held out three fingers, "First, I want the Mermaid Key, and second, I want the Gold Skull Coins." ”

Alyssa's face turned a little pale, both of these treasures were chosen for ransom, and it was estimated that Kirwin would be furious.

After saying the two conditions, Donk stopped abruptly and looked at Alyssa with malicious intent.

Alyssa had an ominous premonition and her throat twitched a few times.

"What about the third condition?"

"I still want you."

…… The deck bell of the Sky jingled, the sound of the pirates rally. In peacetime, the ringing of the deck bell is also used to tell the time.

The Dragon Pirates currently had seven ships, and two of them were undamaged and were parked on the shore. And the other five ordinary boats, all more or less damaged, are now parked on the beach for repairs. After the bell rang, the pirates put down their work and hurried to the Sky to wait for orders.

Donk stood on top of the port railing, his upper body unclothed, revealing a bandage. On his right shoulder, a dragon as black as ink was tattooed, with a large mouth with the tattoo open, as if it was about to choose someone to devour.

Under the sea breeze, a white bandage danced wildly.

After a while, Tang Ke's feet were already full of people, and people were talking in twos and threes, and no one knew what the head of the regiment was going to do.

"All the members of the Dragon Pirate Regiment, listen, I announce that I will set sail immediately and rush to the small pirate city of Tuga Harbor!" Donk's palm swung forward, pointing due north.

The pirates were silent, this order was somewhat abrupt, and in the morning the regimental commander clearly said that he would stay for two more days, but it was changed by the afternoon.

"Why is there no screaming? Aren't you my little pirates? Donk frowned, looking disappedly at the crowd at his feet.

The pirates looked at each other, and then they reacted, erupting into a tsunami-like scream.

"Great! We're on our way to the next port! ”

"Harbor! Woman! Banzai! ”

"Let's go! Go to the Little Pirate Town! ”

The sound of the tide was higher and higher, and it reached the cabin, which was a little noisy. Seba Stephen, who was reading a book in the room, frowned slightly, tapped his sharp fingers on the table, and said dissatisfiedly: "These guys are really hopeless." ”

Seeing the pirates' energetic looks, the corners of his mouth lifted and said, "That's what words are." ”

"Sir, the ship hasn't been completely repaired yet, and the distance from here to the Little Pirate City is not short, so maybe it will be missed halfway." Lu Ban held the bright hammer high and said angrily.

"We can repair ships as we go, just stick to the Little Pirate City, where there are very large dockyards that are more suitable for repairing ships." Donk said.

"What about the wounded?" Another pirate with a bandaged head asked.

"We can walk and heal as we go, just like I did." Donk said lightly, as if he wasn't hurt at all, and he tucked the messy bandage back in, "All in all, anything can be done while walking." ”

One-eyed also looked up at Donk below, because he had something to say, he stepped forward, pressed the shoulder of the person in front of him, jumped up in the air with his strength, climbed the guardrail of the Sky with one hand, and overturned the ship in a heroic manner.

Donk looked at One-Eye at his side, smiled and beckoned.

"Why are you in such a hurry to go? Is it because of the Naga Fishmen? One-Eye asked.

Donk nodded and said, "The Naga fishmen do give me a headache, but the emergency sailing is not because of them, but for another reason. I want to get to Little Pirate City as fast as possible and order a brand new Black Pearl there. ”

He wanted the Mermaid Key so much, and that was to get the Heart of the Demon Ship in the Demon Chest. Although the information obtained is insufficient, the heart of the magic ship must be related to the ship, and it is likely to be a treasure that turns an ordinary ship into a magic ship. But it would be a waste to make an ordinary ordinary ship a magic ship, so he wanted to build a qualified ordinary ship.

As for sending Alyssa home, the talks have already collapsed. Because the Donk Lion opened his mouth and asked for too harsh conditions, Alyssa did not agree at all. Donk didn't force it, Alyssa was already fat in his mouth, he could chew it slowly or gobble it up.

He was determined to get the Mermaid's Bond, and he made a plan based on it. He plans to order a ship in the Little Pirate City first, then go to the Twin Ports to exchange for the Mermaid's Key, and finally return to the Little Pirate City, use the Mermaid's Key to open the Demon Chest, and use the Heart of the Demon Ship to turn the new sailboat into a magic ship.

"You can go directly to buy a new sailboat, why make it to order? If it is ordered, it will be quite time-consuming. One-Eye didn't know about Alyssa yet, so he was puzzled.

"Because the sailing ship I want must be the strongest ordinary sailing ship on the sea, and no matter what kind of caste or ability, it must be on the same level as the battleships of the Empire, or even better than the battleships. A boat that can be bought directly will not meet my requirements. Donk said with burning eyes that he already had a prototype of a new ship in his mind, and only such a ship could be worthy of the name Black Pearl.

Seeing Donk's ambitious look, One-Eye guessed, and he asked, "You must have some plan for ordering this ship, right?" ”

Tang Keshen mysteriously walked over to One-Eye's side and said in a low voice, "That's right, the Demon Chest is about to open, and we are about to have the third Demon Ship." ”

…… Under Donk's urging, the sailing work began quickly, and the pirates on the island were all called back. Upon hearing the news of the departure of the Dragon Pirates, the Spitting Frogs on the island breathed a sigh of relief, and they wished that Donk would leave immediately. Because of the contract, Crossscar led more than 300 bomb-spitting frogs on board, and if it was evenly shared, each ship could be equipped with fifty.

Spitter Frogs are a group of nimble turrets, and with their help, the Dragons Pirates' long-range strike capabilities will be greatly enhanced.

The flotilla hoisted its sails, and as usual, with the Sky as the flagship and the Purgatory behind the tail hall, the seven ships went offshore in turn and marched towards the sea. In the sky, two seagulls fluttered their wings, their bodies were white, but the tips of their wings were black. Two seagulls dance against the blue sky and white clouds, as if to see off the pirates.

Donk stood on the bridge with a muscular Cliff beside him. With Cliff at the helm at the moment, Donk just couldn't stand still and stood aside, looking at the seagulls flying in the sky.

Not far from the bridge, surveyors and sailors are testing speed, which is a daily must-do for sailing.

"Lost!" The surveyor gave the order, and he kept his eye on the pocket watch in his hand.

When the sailor heard the sound, he immediately threw the buoy in his hand into the sea, and the buoy quickly moved away as the sailboat moved quickly.

"Okay! Hold tightly, don't let go! The surveyor told the sailor to hold on to the rope wheel, and the rope grew longer and longer under the pull of the buoy, and there was a knot on the rope at intervals to calculate the speed, from which the so-called "knots" were derived.

"I guess it's ten sections, and today's sea breeze is still taking care of people." Don looked at the buoy at the stern of the boat and estimated.

"The head of the regiment said that ten festivals are ten festivals." Cliff slapped his ass.

The surveyor shouted to stop, and the sailor hurriedly pulled the rope and pulled back the buoy that had gone away, counting how many knots there were. Based on the number of knots, the surveyor calculates the exact speed.

"The speed has been calculated, it is indeed ten knots!" The surveyor exclaimed excitedly, "What a god! Commander, how did you visually detect it? ”

"It's simple, it's just empirical." Tang Ke smiled and tapped his head a few times with his fingers, implying that all kinds of skills were contained here.

Every time Donk relies on the system to upgrade, what he gets is the experience that others can accumulate for several years!
