CH.4 Meet in the Narrow Sea

Donk hurriedly turned off the system interface, opened his eyes, and looked to the left side of the hull, where there was nothing on the sea. The lookout was still shouting, and Donk had to climb up to the lookout with his hands and feet, and looked into the distance, only then did he see the shadow of a ship on the sea.

The ship came with the wind, and the shadow slowly grew larger, it was a two-masted medium-sized ship, the gray sails were blown by the wind, and there were sharp ramming horns in the bow, like a unicorn running wild on the sea.

Donk's heart is vaguely restless, he needs to make contact with the people of this world in order to understand the location of the sea and find the port to replenish. He pondered what to do with the incoming ship, whether to ask politely, or to forcibly hijack the ship in the past?

The medium-sized brig did not come straight over, but made a detour, found a downwind, and then sped with the greatest wind, splashing enough waves to overturn Donk's Whirlwind.

Seeing the menacing posture of the medium-sized ship, Tang Ke frowned, revealing a solemn expression, and the other party deliberately looked for a downwind direction before approaching, obviously the comer was not good, coupled with the ramming angle that was obviously used for attack, it seemed that this medium-sized ship was an armed ship.

As soon as he had this thought, the ship immediately raised a flag, on the surface of which was painted a large black toad, with a strange and inexplicable meaning in the wind.

"Pirate flags? It seems that a thief has met a thief. Donk smiled bitterly, then cheered up, drew his sword and pointed to the sky, and shouted, "Everyone pick up their weapons and go to the deck to standby, we have met our peers, everyone come out to say hello!" ”

The speed of the Whirlwind is obviously inferior to that of the other party, and if it escapes, it will only become a target, and it is better to wait for work.

Donk asked the lookout next to him to go down, leaving him alone on the circular lookout, and the two of them stood on it a little cramped.

More than a dozen sailors had gathered on the deck of the Whirlwind, and the rest were still rowing, fearless as they watched the behemoth come crashing through the waves, sword in hand, grappling hook dangling from their waists, ready to fight.

The ship was of the speed type, and with a square sail and a spinnaker fully open, it looked like a wild horse.

Knowing the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, Donk tightened his grip on the thin scimitar, and the strong wind on the sea and the momentum of the enemy ship rushed towards him, blowing his hair.

"Spot the moment to dodge their onslaught!" Donk shouted, and the sailors immediately sprang into action, constantly adjusting the direction of the boat.

The big ship rushed over, the small boat narrowly escaped, the splashing waves cut down their heads and faces, the sailors took a bath, the hull of the ship shook incessantly, and even the sailors who were familiar with life at sea fell down several times, causing them to curse angrily.

Tang Ke gripped the guardrail of the lookout and barely steadied himself, looking at the big ship opposite. Even if he stood on the lookout, he could only be parallel to the other deck. On the opposite side of the ship was a gun door, and the deck was full of fierce pirates, about seventy people, among whom was a one-armed man with the air of a high-ranking man and a triangular brimmed hat.

The one-armed man was a sturdy man with multiple scars on his weather-beaten body, and his stump was fitted with a small cannon barrel that shone with a bright metallic sheen. Usually pirates used to attach hooks to stumps, and he was obviously a little more avant-garde.

"I'm Baron Kedar, the third captain of the Black Toad Pirates, where did you little thieves come from?" The one-armed man asked.

"I'm the captain of the Whirlwind, not a thief, but a pirate. I'm from ...... Far East. Donk replied unflinchingly that he had no intention of hiding anything, and that the conflict of interest between them would not be resolved because of their identity.

In fact, even if Donk doesn't admit it, the other party can see their identity, and the shipwright of the Whirlwind looks too much like pirates.

"This route to Port Carlin is the hunting ground of our Black Toad Pirates, don't you outsiders go to the tavern to inquire about the situation? Haven't you heard of the prestige of our pirate group! ”

The pirates on the Black Toad ship were all watching this way, as if they were going to jump down at any moment.

"I don't care who you are, don't beat around the bush, if you want to fight, our Whirlwind people will accompany you to the end!" Donk's pirate group has not yet been named, and for the time being, it can only call itself the Whirlwind.

The Black Toad Pirate Ship reacted violently, some pirates eager to attack, others laughing at Donk, and in their eyes, the little Whirlwind was vulnerable. Kordar drank a few times, and the pirates fell silent.

"Boy, I admire your courage to hit a stone with an egg, only a man like you can gain a foothold in this sea, and you were very skilled in navigating the boat when you dodged the collision just now." Koudar held out an olive branch and said, "I am willing to take you under my command, and from now on you will be members of the Black Toad Pirate Regiment." ”

Tang Ke's eyes changed slightly, his mind turned, and he decided to push the boat down, he said: "I am willing to lead the sailors to join your black toad pirate group, you put the ladder down, and I will bring someone up to talk to you in detail." ”

He had already inserted the slim cutlass back into its scabbard.

"Nope! We are willing to follow you to the death on the sea, and we will never give in to anyone! One of the Whirlwind's sailors roared excitedly, and the other sailors echoed suit, expressing their absolute loyalty by expressing their willingness to fight to the death.

Donk was touched, he really didn't expect these sailors to be so loyal. Regardless of whether these sailors are alive or made by games, he is willing to take on the role of captain and share life and death with the sailors.

"Shut the fuck, I've got my own measure." Tang Ke said solemnly that the sailors thought that he was going to lead the ship to surrender, but they still dissuaded him again and again.

Seeing this scene, Kedar on the enemy ship was slightly moved, such a loyal sailor is too rare, and the captain who can make so many people loyal to him must also be a character. He became more interested in Donk, but he was also more wary.

"Boy, what's your name?"

"Donk."

With that, he had jumped onto the rope ladder stretched down by the enemy ship and was about to climb up, followed by his sailors, who were willing to follow Donk to any part of the world, even to the end of the world.

His heart was pounding, and he tried his best to hide the murderous opportunity, and he planned to take Kedar hostage when he got on the ship, and then solve the crisis, and even take over the medium-sized ship.

He's not afraid to fight hard, but he's more willing to take the risky way of winning.

As for surrendering with the Black Toad Pirate Regiment, he didn't think about it at all.

Kedar looked at Donk who was climbing up step by step, and for some reason a sense of crisis appeared in his heart, as if it was a devil who had climbed up. Their Black Toad Pirate Regiment had just experienced a great battle and was eager to absorb fresh blood, otherwise, he would have ordered the Whirlwind to be sunk long ago.

"You come up on your own first, and let your sailors stay where you are!" Kedar subconsciously avoided the risk and shouted below.

Donk's expression remained unchanged, and he said to his sailors: "You go down and stand by, and I will go up alone to 'solve' the problem." ”

The sailors looked at the captain worriedly, and were scolded before they forced themselves to go down, but everyone did not lay down their arms, and remained on guard.

Donk climbed to the edge of the boat, and when he saw that he was about to get on the boat, he was highly concentrated, ready to draw his sword at any moment, and he felt like a tiger in a wolf pack.

The pirates aboard the Black Toad were no idle people, staring at Donk one by one with bad intentions, making way for him to retreat.

Donk stood on the deck in a nonchalant manner, staring at Kedar.

"Donk, which country do you belong to? Looking at your appearance, are you from the Kingdom of Heaven? Or are they more distant from the Five Continents? Kedar looked the black-haired and yellow-skinned Oriental up and down, he didn't want to accept a subordinate with a force behind him, even if it was a distant one.

"As you might have guessed, I'm drifting from the far east." Tang Ke said in a mysterious position.

"Are you a nobleman?" Kedar himself is a noble baron, he is an officially authorized pirate of the Dragon's Tooth Empire, and has a privateering license, so he can run rampant in this waterway as long as he does not touch the ships of the Dragon's Tooth friendly countries.

Donk walked forward seemingly as usual, but in fact he was closing the distance to Kedar, and he smiled bitterly: "Have you ever seen a nobleman sailing such a small boat?" ”

"The East is a land of abundance, and your nobles are richer. It would be nice for our lowly nobles to own such a boat, and the barons generally only owned a few barren fiefdoms. Kedar said as if chatting.

Close enough, now!

Tang Ke's eyes lit up, and he was about to reach out and draw his knife.
