Chapter 44: The Trap of the Treasure Map
Robbery is actually an art job, whether it is a long-planned action or the product of a hot head, you have to take responsibility for your actions, especially when it comes to finishing the work, and unfortunately, the over-energetic Black Flame Pirates are now tasting the bitter fruits of their own sowing.
There are a total of nine pirates, they were beaten down, and then they took away all the valuable things in the cabin, and they didn't let go of food and clothing, of course, Ace hadn't picked the door to the extent of "sweeping dàng", he still left a small part for those pirates, well, the fare to go home should be enough, if they didn't eat three meals a day but one meal a day.
Although they robbed so many pirates, everyone ushered in a new problem, that is, how do they classify these things? It's all physical work! Who told all the pirates they robbed were electrocuted? Should this be said to be self-inflicted?
Of course, the captain is privileged, unlike Anilu and others who are sweating profusely to carry supplies, but now Ace is sitting on the deck bored, looking over and over at the new world chart that the fish-man Xia Li gave him.
"What's wrong? Look at you've been frowning. Yuna asked, holding two cups of fragrant coffee to Ace.
"Well, this chart is estimated to be a period of time, and it doesn't match many of the signs on the current route, which is a bit troublesome." Leaning over to taste the mellow taste of the coffee, Ace said helplessly.
"There's no way around it, the closed environment makes the information of Fish-Man Island a little backward, after all, Fish-Man Island has been ostracized by the political fǔ all these years, and I have already heard about it when I worked in the political fǔcp department before." At the mention of the sensitive word 政fǔ, a trace of gloom flashed from Yuna's eyes.
"That's ······" Both of them immediately fell silent, thinking about each other, and it was at this moment that a rapid trot broke the hard-won peace.
"Future cousin-in-law, what I just found in the treasure of those people is a treasure map!" He stood in front of the two of them as if he were offering treasures, but his hands were carefully holding the rag-like parchment.
"Future······ Cousin-in-law? Yuna blushed when she heard this, looked up at Ace, and found that the other party was also staring at her intently, so she naturally lowered her head.
"Ahem······ What, get down to business. Ace hurriedly turned his gaze to the side and said a little crampedly.
"This is it!" The simple duo can take care of the embarrassed expressions of the two, and his mouth gushes endlessly about how wise he is and how unique his vision is.
"Bump!"
But it was later that Hulk directly gave Doda a heavy hammer, and took out a piece of parchment that was no different from the treasure map in Doda's hand, "That's it?" We've just found a couple of them, and they're all the same. He pointed to Brooke, who was dancing on one side, and said. ”
"Really?" Ace poked his head out, and indeed, there was a strange pattern painted on the three parchments in front of him, whether it was the line or the upper sè, there was almost no difference, and the paper of the parchment could also be seen to be of origin.
"Since it's a treasure map, why are there so many of them, and most importantly, why is this so-called treasure map in the hands of these little-known pirates?" Once she got down to business, Yuna immediately became shrewd and asked again and again.
"I've asked several different pirates, and they all said they found it in a barrel floating on the surface of the sea······ Hmph, that's interesting, isn't it? Hulk hugged Xiōng in his arms and sneered.
Ace nodded, and looked at the three identical treasure maps in his hand again, the "treasure chest" that marked the location of the treasure, and his thoughts turned in his heart. Obviously, this is someone who is suspicious, in the name of the treasure map to lead everyone to the final destination, although I don't know what the real intention of the other party is, but under the guise of treasure, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will be tempted, using people's greed to achieve their own goals, is a very scheming guy!
"Could it be a call for help?" Yuna bit down on Chún, and then said slowly, "This has happened before, hasn't it?" Someone was shipwrecked at sea, and in order to call for help, they dumped all the barrels and bottles they were carrying, and instead sent out the location in the form of drifting bottles, a treasure map······ Probably just to increase the chances of rescue, after all, not everyone will be so enthusiastic. At the end, Yuna glanced at Ace, as if asking for his opinion.
"I wouldn't think so, yo ho ho ho!" Brooke said as he circled around the crowd, "If it's really as Miss Yuna said, then the person calling for help will usually write something like 'thank you' on a piece of paper instead of directly marking the treasure map, because if the people who arrive find out that they have been deceived in the end, they can't do anything in anger, so they won't take such a big risk for the sake of their own lives, so ······ It's a scam, yo ho ho ······"
"So, you think it's a trap?"
Brooke entered the great voyage fifty years ago as one of the first pioneers, and although he was only in the first half of the journey, when it comes to the richness of life experience, no one present can compare with Brooke, so his words have a great deal of credibility.
"Isn't that interesting?" Ace jumped up from the deck and clapped his hands, "That's it, follow the position of this treasure map." ”
"Hey, hey, don't make up your mind so easily, at least everyone has to go back to the ship······" Before Hulk could finish speaking, he was pulled aside by Doda. "I said, what's going on?" Hulk got rid of the hand that was on his shoulder, and said angrily, anyone who was forcibly pulled aside before he finished speaking, would not be happy.
"You've only joined for a short time, so you may not know much about it, but once the boss makes up his mind, no one can stop it." Duo scratched his head a little embarrassedly, which was regarded as an expression of his apology.
"But this is too luàn, right, I know it's a trap······ Don't ask everyone's opinion! At this, Hulk's face flashed with anger, and the captain was very dissatisfied with the consequences of his mistakes and asking others to bear the consequences.
"But that's what makes it interesting, isn't it?" A haughty voice came from behind the two of them, and I saw Anilu carrying the golden staff on his shoulder, and tiǎn tiǎn mouth chún bloodthirsty, "Danger has always coexisted with opportunity, from the time I stepped on this ship, I have decided to become the strongest person beyond the captain, and I will not hesitate to shed as much blood as I want to do for this, so what are you going to do, Dragon Set?" ”
"Don't call me a trick!" These two words seemed to be forbidden, and Hulk jumped up and punched Anilu, but the latter did not dodge, and slammed his domineering right fist into it.
"Peng!" With a loud bang, Hulk, who had blocked Anilu's heavy punch, couldn't help but slide backwards for a long time before slowly stopping.
"Damn, isn't this hún egg the worst at ròu fighting, why is this strength so strong!" With just one punch, Hulk only felt his arm instantly paralyzed.
"See, my strength ······ now" Anilu turned away and stopped looking at Hulk, "Men never dream, they only chase dreams, what you want next, you can see what you want." ”
As Anilu's footsteps faded away, Grace and Morgan walked out of the corner, "Don't mind, Anilu is so straightforward, in fact, he has no ill intentions. ”
"When did you get here?" Looking at the two people who suddenly appeared, he couldn't help but look at him suspiciously and asked.
"From the beginning." Grace carefully observed the parchment in his hand for a while, and put it back in his pocket, "The captain means to meet this mastermind behind the scenes, do you think everyone is a fool and can't see the trick in this?" There are more shrewd people on the sea, and the captain wants to take this opportunity to meet more people in the new world······ This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If such a thing has spread throughout the New World, maybe the Four Emperors will all get involved! ”
"Famous? Just for this kind of thing? Hulk smiled bitterly, "I just want to eat a lot of good things, and then learn to cook a lot of good things, I'm not such a great person!" ”
The three of them who took Hulk's god sè into their eyes,Unexpectedly, they all had a feeling of guilt for pulling each other onto the thief ship.,The other party and themselves are not all the way.,Is it their luck to be a companion.,Or Hulk's misfortune?
Grace checked the parchment in his pocket again, and now it seemed that this treasure map was more than just a trap for his group······
