The smoke rose and tumbled out of a strange gesture, as ethereal and psychedelic as a dream.

After Tang Ke had his fill, he put the heated pipe into the basin of water beside him, and the stabbing sound sounded, and the fireworks were completely extinguished. This hut is a smoking room arranged by Donk, and there is not much space, only a table, and a few bags of fireproof sand stacked in the corner. Wooden sailing ships are most afraid of encountering fires when sailing on the sea, and everything that touches the fire should not be underestimated, and after having cigarettes, it is imperative to open a smoking room.

The ship is the Sky, sailing on the sea, far from the Dragon's Nest Island, and is about to reach the Little Pirate City. A few days ago, Donk received a letter from Christine using the Eagle to go to the Little Pirate City to discuss something important. The so-called big thing, of course, refers to the plundering of the clover fleet.

There were a total of two ships in the fleet that went to the small pirate city, and the remaining four ships stayed on Dragon's Nest Island, and the pirate group was naturally divided into two groups, and some of them stayed on the island to continue building the port.

During his time on Dragon's Lair Island, Donk always played the role of a high-ranking god, deceiving the simple-minded natives. Starting with the first indigenous cottage, he contacted two others, where he performed by summoning trolls and firing guns, convincing the natives that he was a god. Things are going quite successfully, but the language barrier has created some obstacles. After this, Donk used his status as a god to order the natives to participate in the construction of the port, and also to have the natives patrol and defend him. However, he deserves to have a conscience, and while using the natives, he also gave the natives all kinds of materials. The wine he gave was regarded by the natives as holy water to ward off illness and disaster, and the kettle and iron products he sent were regarded as holy vessels.

In order to develop better on the island, Donk recruited several linguists and agriculturists, who did not need a lot of points, but the profession he knew was exactly what Donk desperately needed. Although linguists do not understand the local language, they know the skills to analyze and learn a language, and can slowly interpret the language of the island, which is convenient for later communication with the natives. As for the agriculturists, they were assigned to study the cultivation of tobacco on a large scale and the development of soft-tasting tobacco leaves.

The relationship between the pirates and the natives has become stronger, and Tang Ke is relieved to leave the Dragon's Nest Island behind and lead the team to the small pirate city by himself.

Led by the pilot ship, the Sky and Serenade sailed into the sea oak forest in turn, the purple leaves cutting the sunlight into patches of light, which fell on the surface of the sea in a sprinkling of light, and the ship sailed by, disrupting the spots of light on the sea. In the tree house of the Sea Oak, several half-elf women greeted each other, dressed in fiery clothes, or half-exposed breasts, or with beautiful legs uncovered.

The pirates whistled all the way, responding to the enthusiasm of the women.

The two ships arrived at the docks on the island, and Donk took care of the docks, settled his men, and then headed to the Great White Shark shipyard, intending to visit One Ear and see how the Black Pearl was being built. Donk was only accompanied by a few ordinary men, as capable people such as One-Eye and Iona were still on Dragon's Lair Island.

Donk was also an old face at the Great White Shark Shipyard, and he smiled and said hello when he found one ear that was working in the factory.

When one ear heard Donk's voice, his shoulders trembled, and he hurriedly put down the board in his hand and turned his head to look. His expression changed from astonishment to surprise, and he couldn't help but rush up and hug Donk.

The hug between the brothers was full of sincere warmth, and one ear smacked Donk's back a few times, and Donk choked with laughter. After the two separated, they chatted about their recent situation.

"How are you doing as a student? Did you make Master Garvey faint? Donk asked with a smile.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm the most improved of his students." One ear cocked his thumb and said triumphantly.

"How many students does he have?"

"Uh...... Two people. Seeing Tang Ke's expression of contempt, One Ear hurriedly added, "I mean, there are only two students who learn to build magic boats, and there are many students who learn to build ordinary ships." The other guy who learned the magic boat was a young man, and he didn't learn things as fast as I did. ”

It was an ear's dream to build a magic boat, and of course he would do his best to learn the art.

After the two chatted for a while, Donk turned to ask, "How is the Black Pearl made?" ”

"If you don't mention it, I'm going to tell you about it. Because there was a semi-finished skeleton in the shipyard before, the construction schedule was brought forward, and the Black Pearl could be completed in less than ten days. One ear replied.

Donk's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and said, "Take me to see the Black Pearl." I'll see what she's like now. ”

With one ear leading the way, they made their way through the working crowd to Dry Dock No. 3, which was capable of making ships of two thousand five hundred tons and had a wide space. Once inside, the first thing you can see is the elevated Black Pearl, and the only thing left of the ship's unfinished process is the relief of the hull, and a group of craftsmen carefully carved it in a brightly lit environment, turning the thick carving knife of the pen barrel over and moving.

Donk walked briskly to the side of the Black Pearl, looking up at the sailboat that was about to be his own.

She was like a black knight galloping through the night, standing proudly on the shelf with a majestic posture, every inch of wood in the hull was brand new, full of life and vitality, the raised bow with the dragon's head type of ramming angle, the posture of swallowing the sea, the hundreds of closed gun doors showed powerful firepower, the five masts were like straight arrows, and several black sailboats were rolled up on the crossbar, like closed bat wings.

"She is very beautiful, the dream lover of every sailor and captain, full of youthful vigor and slender figure." The coarse man with one ear speaks in a poetic tone only when he praises the sailing ship.

Donk had been in the shipyard for a long time, asking a lot about the Black Pearl, which had been tested for stability two days earlier, and the results were quite good, proving that the big ship had the ability to pierce storms. The so-called stability surname test is to let a large group of people run back and forth on the boat, from port to starboard, and then run back, so that the wind can be simulated, and the stability of a ship can be judged from the shaking of the hull, and some unqualified ships will even capsize in this test.

Because of work, one ear was later called away by Gavi, and Donk left on his own after nothing else.

As agreed, Donk was going to meet Christine next, but the letter he received did not specify the address, so he had to go to a well-informed place like the tavern to inquire about Christine's whereabouts first. But before he could find Christine, Christine had already found him first.

A whistle came from the alley.

Donk looked sideways, and the famous sea loach was standing in the shadows with a smile on his face.

Christine raised her multi-functional prosthetic hand to greet and said, "Brother Donk, you're quite good at keeping your promise." ”

"Who made your plan so attractive?" Donk said.

"Come with me. Donk, let me take you to meet a few friends, they are all famous guys at sea, every name will give the Navy a headache, you will like them, I promise. Christine stepped into the depths of the alley.

"Who are they?" Donk hurriedly followed, asking.

"Partner." Christine said lightly, and asked without looking back, "Donk, you have to come by yourself, let your henchmen find a woman to be merry." I'm also on my own, and the other partners are also on my own. Our meeting was very quiet. ”

Donk dismissed a few of his men without hesitation and left with Christine alone.

It's dusk now, the little pirate city has entered the prelude to the noise, there are more and more people on the street, the pirates are carrying wine bottles, walking shoulder to shoulder, and the wooden signs with women's patterns are particularly attractive, and the smell of wine and women wafts on the streets.

Christine walked on the stone pavement that covered the afterglow of the setting sun, and he was talking nonsense with each other. Donk got down to business, he wanted to know the plan of action this time, and he was also interested in a few partners.

"Shh," Christine put his forefinger on her lips, "don't mention our big things on the street, I'll tell you more about it later." I'll tell you now, and I'll have to repeat it later, what a hassle. ”

Donk shrugged, had to close his mouth, didn't ask about business, and occasionally interjected a few words to match Christine's nonsense.

The tavern is called Demon Fire, and its name has a devastating breath of destruction, and it is an old two-story building with a slight slope that stands out from the crowd of buildings. The two entered the tavern, which contained only a table of inconspicuous guests. Christine warmly hugged the proprietress in the store, kissed her face with thick fat powder, and said a few tender words to the proprietress , but unfortunately the proprietress was already a half-old. He tangled with the proprietress for a while, pinched the proprietress round ass* and walked to the deep room, which contained a staircase leading to the basement.

Christine wiped her mouth vigorously and wiped the grease off it.

"Twenty years ago, she was the prettiest name in Little Pirate City, and now she is just an old woman who no one cares about, and the years are unforgiving. Because time is so precious, I make every minute and every second of my life happy. Christine chatted about her attitude towards life.

Donk nodded in agreement, pirates were almost always in this timely manner.

The staircase was unexpectedly narrow, contorting downward like a snake, and the pitted walls were hung with flickering glass lights. There was a closed door at the end of the staircase, giving Donk the illusion that the door was leading to another world.

Christine grinned open the door and greeted her as soon as she entered the room.

Donk then walked into the room, and looking around, he felt two pairs of oppressive gazes, and he had to be as cold as a sword to not be overpowered.

The room was not very large, but it was very clean and tidy, very different from the old and decayed style of this tavern, with a long table in the middle, a dozen chairs made of fine wood, and a nautical chart of the Sea of Jewels region taped to the wall.

In addition to Donk and Christine, there were two people sitting in the room who had been waiting for a long time, a man and a woman.
