The five pirate groups met near the Turbulent Sea, the time was set for the seventh day of the new moon, Christine was the first to arrive, Donk and Eunice also arrived a few days before the appointed date, and the mad colonel Mordo arrived on time on the appointed day. Of the five pirate groups, only the pirate group of Peel the saliva dog has not arrived. Donk dismissed this, in his opinion, the twenty ships of the salivary dogs were dispensable and had little impact on the operation.

However, Christine deeply regretted the absence of the salivary dogs, and he investigated the situation of the Clover caravan in detail, in which there were a total of three magic ships, led by the very tricky Wave Treading Knight. Several of the partners he chooses have their purpose surnames. Mad Colonel Moldor has an old feud with the Greenland Empire, and will definitely be very helpful in this battle. Protected by a golden beard, Tang Ke has a very great deterrent power and will make merchants fearful. The Steamdog's Magic Ship has a strong defense, and can be used to block the Clover Caravan's Magic Ship, and without his help, this battle will be much more difficult.

As for choosing Eunice, it doesn't take much reason, her pirate group is the most powerful of the five pirate groups, and it plays a role in determining the surname.

Christine repeatedly expressed pity for the absence of the salivary dog, but the mad colonel Mordo finally got used to hearing it and said a bombshell news he heard on the way.

"It's not that the ugly dog doesn't want to come, it's that he can't come." Moldor had just drained a large glass of vodka and was filling an empty glass with new drink. This was the open-air deck of the Bloody Magic, where the three Grand Master sat together, drinking and chatting. Of course, Eunice, who has always been cold-hearted, would not attend such a dinner.

"Why can't you come? What else do you know? Christine asked.

Donk was a bit of a holiday with the saliva dog, so he also brought up some interest, put down the greasy chicken legs, and set his sights on Moldo.

Moldor said flatly: "I heard the news when I was resupplying in the harbor that the saliva dog had taken the Golden Beard in revenge for attacking the Sky and threatening not to take the Golden Beard in his eyes, and was wiped out by one of the Golden Beard's fleets, and all twenty of his ships were sunk, including the messy Pudding, of course. Since then, there have been no more fanged pirates in the world. However, some say that Peel escaped by chance because no one found his body. After he finished speaking, he stared at Tang Ke, and the subtext seemed to be: It's all a good thing done by this guy of yours.

After listening to this, Tang Ke leaned back and leaned back, he sent someone to deliberately spread rumors before, the purpose was to borrow a knife to kill people, so that Goldbeard could clean up the saliva dog well, but he didn't expect Goldbeard to really give face, and let the saliva dog destroy the group as soon as he made a move! This news really made him feel very comfortable, happy to the bones, he only felt that the sky was high, the sea was blue, and his appetite was also opened...... Christine looked at Donk with a resentful expression and said, "Brother Donke, you stumbled directly into the abyss, he is also our partner, without him, we will have to do more to help." ”

Tang Ke couldn't stop laughing, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said, "He provoked me first, and he deserved it." I can't just be a soft persimmon just because I'm a partner. As for this raid, I feel like we're more than enough. ”

Together, there were more than one hundred and eighty ships from the four pirate groups, more than twenty more than the ships of the Clover Caravan, and seven of them were magic ships, and the Clover Caravan was by no means an opponent. Their raids this time, if nothing else, had a great advantage.

Fortunately, Christine didn't have a deep friendship with the salivary dog, and he was relieved after being depressed for a while, and talked to Donk about endurance.

"Brother Donke, there is a saying that if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, for men, if you encounter something that makes you angry, it is easy to break out, but it is difficult to endure it. Patience requires more strength than outbursts. Christine made a downward gesture, "Being able to control yourself is a powerful sign." ”

Donk glanced at Christine and said disapprerovingly, "What's the point of a life of swallowing your anger, and didn't you say that you want to live every minute of your life happily?" ”

"In many cases, the outburst after patience will be more painful. All I have to do is take the hurt wrong before I break out, so I can make sure I'm happy every day. Christine said triumphantly.

Mordo's face had a dull expression, he was touched, and suddenly interjected in a sullen voice: "There are some things that cannot be taken seriously, such as the pain of losing the country. He was obviously still thinking about the destruction of his homeland, and he couldn't let go of it, which is why he hated the Greenland Empire so much.

As a traverser, Donk was very able to understand this kind of patriotism, and he looked at Moldo's expression solemnly.

Christine raised his glass, the coffee in it shook incessantly, and he said, "Colonel Mordo, I salute you for your great feelings of loyalty and patriotism." ”

After the three of them clinked glasses, they drank the liquid in the cups, and the pain of Moldo's death seemed to be slightly relieved. The next topic of conversation was a bit of rambling, and Christine showed everyone off his stealing skills and hoarse singing voice during the dinner. Donk called for a poker and performed a simple poker magic trick that allowed him to keep five god cards next to each other forever, and even if he cut the cards, they would naturally fall together. Christine only watched it twice before cracking this little magic trick of Donk and imitating it on the spot. Mordo rarely spoke, silently watching the two perform.

An eagle roar came from the sky, attracting the attention of the three regimental commanders, who looked up.

Christine narrowed his eyes to reduce the effect of sunlight on his eyesight, and he muttered, "This Xun Eagle is a little familiar, it may be mine." His guess was correct, and the eagle circled for a while, and at last came to this place, landing very rudely on the table, and yelling at him. He took the letter from Xun Ying's body and buried himself in reading it, his brow suddenly locked, as if there was not good news in the letter.

Donk couldn't help but ask, "Is it information about the Clover Caravan?" ”

Christine didn't reply distractedly, his eyes still scanning the letter repeatedly, he nodded, confirmed something, and said sadly, "Yes, it's about the Clover Caravan, but it's sad news." He sighed, still holding on to the letter, "The letter ostensibly says that the Clover caravan has changed course and told us to get out of here and go on another route to intercept merchant ships. But this is only superficial information, and there is a deeper meaning hidden in it. The letter was indeed written by my subordinate, but there were several letters in it deliberately written in slightly different handwriting that would not have been noticeable without looking closely. From this, it seems that this letter was written in a forced and helpless situation, and my subordinates are warning me that this is a misinformation. ”

Donk's expression became more and more solemn, and Christine's annihilation was pulled out, which was a very bad thing, but he still had a hint of good illusions and asked, "Can you judge by just a few slightly different letters?" ”

Christine said with great certainty: "That's enough. This subordinate of mine is a very reliable man, I know his handwriting very well, and he writes letters without even a single letter, and this is him, a man who is quite a straightforward person. ”

Donk could tell that Christine had a high regard for the fallen subordinate, so he was so hurt. However, now was not the time to open a memorial service for this Jianxi, so he thought for a while and speculated: "If your guess is correct, the people of the caravan must be trying to trick us into other routes." ”

Mordo nodded in agreement, he didn't seem too worried, maybe because his expression couldn't have been worse.

Christine sorted out her emotions and said calmly: "You're right, if you extrapolate backwards like this, after they deceive us, they will still follow the original route." ”

"They will do what they do, and so can we!" We don't need to change our strategy at all, we just need to stay here. Here, we can still wait for the merchants and snatch all the money out of their pockets! ”

After some discussion, the three pirate leaders all felt that this inference was valid, and they should stick to this place. Christine's grief didn't last long, and he took advantage of this to get up to the Flower Death and tell Eunice about it, and Eunice agreed with the decision.

The clover caravan's leader, Sicamon, failed to deceive the cunning Christine, and as a result, the two sides continued as usual according to the original script, and a great naval battle between pirates and merchants was about to begin.

Without Christine, the three-person banquet was over, and Donk returned to his fleet with three points of drunkenness, and slept with his head covered for a long time. Rubbing his troubled eyes, he asked his men why they had called him, and they reported with a little horror that a signal eagle had landed on the Sky and brought a letter.

As soon as Tang Ke heard that the eagle had sent a letter, he speculated that it might be a letter from Dragon's Nest Island, and if this was the case, something big must have happened. As soon as he thought so, he was full of energy, opened the letter, and read it carefully. He was shocked when he saw the sender's payment, and the name on it was Captain Kraft of the Lucky Star, not someone from Dragon's Nest.

At the beginning, in order to complete the task, Tang Ke randomly gathered a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, so that the number of pirate groups increased a lot, but these people had no combat effectiveness, in order to send these people, he bought a second-hand boat surnamed Lucky Star, and let this group of people take this ship to help him find out the news of the Naga fish people. After such a long time, he didn't take this seriously, but he didn't expect that the rabble really came in handy, inquired about a lot of useful news, and stuffed it into an envelope and sent Xun Ying to send it over.

The signal eagle needs to be marked to send a message, usually a fixed ship, a certain sea area or a certain flag, this signal eagle got the mark is the appearance of the sky, it flew all the way, and it was all luck to find here. If the Eagle fails to locate the ship in question, or loses the letter along the way, it will have no choice but to turn back.

Donk was amazed for a moment, and then carefully read the contents of the letter, and what caught his attention was the information mentioned on the last piece of paper, which claimed that in the port of Greenland, the cannibal pirate group had sent a large number of Naga fishmen through the Golden Sea Gate, with the goal of snatching the clover caravan! If the news is accurate, Donk and the others will face the fierce opponent of the Naga Fishmen, and a chill wells up in his heart, if those fishmen are in groups, their combat effectiveness at sea is very amazing.

The news sent by the rabble of the Lucky Star was so important that Tang Ke remembered a point in his heart and muttered, "It looks like I have to give you a salary increase." ”

The incident was not trivial, and Donk carried the letter in his bosom and left the house in a hurry, even though it was a good time for dinner, and he immediately called several pirate captains to the Sky, including Eunice, who had always had a cold attitude. Several people gathered together to talk in the closed room, and there were no other superfluous people in the room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have received news from the Sea of Sweet Dreams, that the cannibal pirate group is going to raid the clover caravan just like us, and is currently speeding here. This news has spread in the port, and it will not be groundless. Donk said solemnly, glancing at the expressions of the other three leaders, even Unity's eyes lit up after hearing this, and the other two were also a little shocked. He pulled out the letter and read it to several people. Although this is only the news found in the port, no one dares to take it lightly, and can only assume that the cannibal pirate group has indeed been dispatched, and make the worst plan to study countermeasures.

Christine frowned, "That's going to be troublesome." Do you know how many fishmen the cannibal pirates have sent? ”

"More than three thousand." Donk replied.

"I'd rather fight a hundred more ships than fight these Naga fishmen, their very dirty way of digging boats." Christine shook her head.

"I've had a few encounters with the Cannibal Pirates, so I have a lot of weapons on board that are specifically designed to deal with fishmen, such as crimson jellyfish, depth charges, and the like. What about you? With so many boats, you have to be a little prepared, right? Donk looked at the men eagerly, this was crucial, because time was running out of the way to the port to buy weapons, and if there was a war with the Naga fishmen, they would have to rely on the weapons they had.

"Yes, but not much." Moldor said.

"I only have a quarter of the bottom of the boat covered in metal." Eunice said.

Donk finally looked at Christine, the other party's answer was written on his face, and it must be a serious deficiency in this regard, he said helplessly: "Let's come up with ideas together, what should we do?" "None of the four of them obey anyone, it's just a cooperative relationship, and at this time, they can only brainstorm, and no one can make the decision.

"Don't be too pessimistic." Christine reassured, "We don't necessarily meet the Naga fishmen, the sea is so wide, the Naga fishmen may take a different route than us. So I suggest that we must not waver, and that we should set sail at once to get the clover caravan before the Naga fishmen. ”

Of the four, only Donk had a holiday with the Cannibal Pirates, and he had fallen under the curse of the Fish and needed to kill Zela to lift it, but he hoped to take this opportunity to join the other three leaders and have a good fight with the Naga Fishmen. In this way, it is easier than having the dragon pirates deal with the Naga fishmen alone. So he was very supportive of keeping the original plan intact.

Mordo cautiously asked, "What if we run into a Naga fishman on the way?" Now that you know this possibility, it's important to have a spectrum in your heart, right? ”

Christine replied, "Indeed, the Naga fishmen are very tricky creatures to deal with. But I can negotiate with them, and they rush here in a hurry, presumably for money, and as long as they want money, there is room for negotiation. If we can negotiate a solution, we can avoid war. ”

Donk had dealt with the Naga Fishmen, shook his head, and said, "The Naga Fishmen are very unreasonable, wild, warlike, and bloodthirsty. ”

This is a well-known thing, and these remarks are like cold water poured on the head, which has dashed the proposal for peace talks.

Still not giving up, Christine asked, "Who is the leader of the cannibal pirate group this time?" Is it their leader, Zela? ”

Tang Ke spread his hands and said: "I don't know about this, there is no mention of this in the letter. ”

"If it's Zela, there's hope for negotiations, it's a bit of a brain. The Naga fishman's action this time was so big, it was impossible for Zela not to ask, it was very likely that he would personally lead his men. ”

Christine then cheered up a few people and said aloud: "This is the situation now, we have to change our plan from waiting for the rabbit to taking the initiative to try to rob the ship of the Clover caravan before the Naga fishmen." We've made a pledge to attack together and take down the Clover Caravan, and if you have pirate blood in your veins, don't think about escaping. We are pirates, we have abandoned kindness, but we cannot abandon morality, we only fight for profit, but many times, there are other things worth fighting, such as a promise. Come to think of it, they're just 3,000 fish. What about us? There are as many as 20,000 people on our side, and even if they all jump into the sea and fight the fishmen, they will never lose! ”

These words lifted everyone's mood a lot, and Donk felt like he had drunk a glass of spirits, and the heat went straight to the top of his head, and he looked around at Moldor and Eunice, and found that the two of them also showed determined expressions.

"The Golden Eagle Kingdom was destroyed because of cowardice, and I have long since erased cowardice from the dictionary." Moldor made a statement on the spot.

"Frankly, I'd rather take this opportunity to break up with the Naga fishmen." Donk said truthfully.

Eunice did not like to talk about it, and though she was a woman, she acted very decisively, and turned to the door, and a few braids under her turban dangled and occasionally rubbed against her plump buttocks, and she left out a sentence: "I will go and inform the fleet that the sails have set sail, and you will move faster." ”

The remaining three big men in the house looked at each other helplessly.

"Very good, I was not mistaken, you are such a great partner!" Christine said courteously to the elves who had not gone far, "Especially you, Miss Eunice! ”
