Deep underground, Ai Wen didn't know that the island under his feet, which was transformed from a "rock colossus", had ushered in a new batch of "unpleasant guests" at this time.

Boom –

The thunder rumbled, and the storm continued.

A black sail pirate ship appeared far away in the sea near the island.

Because of the unfamiliarity with the sea conditions of the outer sea, the "Thumb" could not avoid the sudden storm in time, and the "Thumb" had been tossed in the angry sea for a long time, and even the sail surface was torn open by the strong wind.

An anchorage is urgently needed for trimming.

The lookout no longer knows how many waves have changed, and in this weather, every sailor who boarded the lookout seemed to be rushing to the execution ground. Because if you are thrown out of the mast in the violent turbulence, you will be swallowed up by the angry sea at once, and there is absolutely no chance of survival!

Suddenly, the watchman's cry of surprise spread through the wind and rain throughout the ship.

"There's an island ahead!"

Hearing this, from the captain to the ordinary sailors, the pirates all cheered.

"Great! Finally found an island to anchor!"

"Damn the storm, I feel like my bones are falling apart. ”

“......”

At the bottom of the pirate ship's dark, damp cabin, which smelled strange, a group of people who had been tied up with rope and tied together also heard the movement above.

Most of the people in this group looked depressed, and although they were wearing navy uniforms, they no longer had even a trace of the high-spirited momentum that should belong to the navy.

But it's normal to think about it, being defeated and captured by pirates in a naval battle, barely being fed some soup and water, and tossing and turning in a storm for two days, no one can be in good shape.

A sailor whispered to the captain's officer, who was tied up next to him.

"Captain John...?"

"Don't worry, wait for the pirates to come ashore for now. ”

The two men whispered, apparently that Captain John was already the highest-ranking of the surviving navy.

This is a burly man with red curly hair about thirty years old, and there are blood scabs on his face, although he is not in a good state, his eyes are firm and clear, and he has not been defeated by a momentary setback.

Even an escape is brewing in my heart all the time!

Soon, there was a clatter of anchors in the cabin, and the noise on the deck grew louder, apparently the pirates on board were gathering.

After a while the hatch was opened.

The two pirates with gas lamps swore and walked down, waving scimitars in their hands: "You damn navy give me a little honesty, you know?

After such a long time of bumping, even the hard-standing pirates couldn't stand it, and even their intestines were about to vomit out. The two pirates also thought that they could go ashore to repair themselves, but they didn't expect to be assigned the task of guarding the prisoners, which was really unhappy.

The sailors, who were already prisoners, no one recklessly talked back to the pirates, and lowered their heads and looked obedient, which made the pirates who wanted to find a punching bag to have fun for a while.

Whoa...

The pirates continued to land on the island in a longboat6.

However, they landed on the island from the other side, and they did not have the good luck of Evan and they were able to find the best place to climb 6 and escape from the rain in the first place.

A group of people could only set up a stinky sheepskin tent in a place where they could shelter a little from the wind and rain, and they were crowded in it like quails, but it was much better than on the boat, and many of them fell asleep as soon as they touched the ground.

Only a few high-ranking pirate cadres, including the captain, were respectfully led into a cave that looked like it had been eroded by flowing water, and sat down on a fire.

"Duncan, where are you going?"

As soon as he sat down to take the wine glass handed by his hand, the captain saw his number one general, who was also the first mate of the ship, get up and walk outside, and asked a little strangely.

"I'll go see if there's any game on the island and bring it back to make dinner. The first mate, Duncan, was obviously not a sociable man, and replied without looking back.

"Okay, good work! Don't run too far, come back early. The captain didn't care about his attitude, just gave him a word of advice and let him go, he had full confidence in the strength of his first mate.

"Good!"

The obviously unsociable first mate stepped out of the cave and into the rain, and disappeared into the dark jungle with a flicker.

Behind him, the voice of singing praises came from afar.

"A glass to our wise and wise captain!"

"The 'Thumb' is where it is today thanks to His Excellency the Captain. When the news of our killing of the captain of the Navy and the capture of the Navy soldiers spreads, our bounty should be able to reach 2,500 Golden Lions, right?"

"Hahaha, the navy's bounty is a pirate's honor, and it may not be long before we have the qualifications to be allowed to enter the pirate city of 'Shipwreck Bay'!"

The pirate captain smiled and accepted the compliments of his pirate cadres one by one. However, he didn't start drinking, and his head was quite sober, and he understood which one of the biggest contributors to his pirate ship could get to this point.

I'm a good captain, and I think I have some leadership skills. But if you want to say that the most important personal strength on the sea, you are just a mere trainee peak.

I can get to this point because of the eccentric first mate Duncan who just went out!

If he hadn't fished him up from the sea and was seriously injured, how could he have subdued such a powerful mortal?

Although he never knew about the first mate's past, and he didn't agree with most of the officials on the ship, but... It's really easy to use! I can't help but laugh more and more happily when I think of the proudness.

Whoosh –

First mate Duncan turned into a blurred shadow and sped through the jungle.

Wrapped in a black turban, he has an unrecognizable ordinary face, deep dark circles, and blue-blue skin. Wearing only a crotch armor, two swords pinned to his waist, and barefoot, at first glance others would even think that this is a corpse that has been looted.

However, everyone who thinks this way has been turned into a real corpse by him!

The "Ghost Lizard Shadow Thief" grants him the ability to blur his tracks and hide himself even when he is in a high movement state. This ability is especially useful in jungle areas with complex terrain.

This is also the origin of the nickname "Chameleon" Duncan.

The rainy days, which lasted for a few days, were actually his favorite weather. Because it was in such a rainstorm that he was able to escape from the "Aurora Society", the biggest killer organization of the Big 6, and avoided being liquidated after the mission failed.

Although he was seriously injured and dying, and was forced to hide in the sea where the "Aurora Society" was relatively weak, he survived after all.

Even because of his careful concealment, he gave all the "credit" to the members of the "Thumb" pirate ship, and he has not appeared on the wanted list of the Navy so far.

What I do best is hide my tracks, doesn't I?

"Huh, anyone?"

A rainstorm had made the prey in the forest hide, and Duncan, who had no gain, didn't care, and hunting was just an excuse not to stay with fools who thought they were smart.

Just as he was about to turn to leave, he unexpectedly saw a warm yellow fire that flickered through the foliage.

"Huh?"

His body reacted faster than his thoughts, and before the thought of how to act was generated, he was like a graceful panther that easily jumped up to the treetops, and in the slight shaking of the canopy, the man had quietly disappeared.

Gently pluck the dense foliage.

"These people are... Did Pharytis Navy come here because of the storm? What's going on with these buildings?"

Not far away, a complex of wooden buildings appeared in front of Duncan's eyes, many of which were glowing with fire, and the conditions for this group of people to repair in the rain were much better than their own pirates.

However, this is not Duncan's concern, he only cares about whether the existence of these navies will threaten his own safety! Now he only lives for himself, and any threat to himself must be eliminated!

No doubt.

On an isolated island besieged by storms, these navies are the enemy!!

One, two, three.....

Duncan, who has undergone rigorous training since he was a child, and is best at infiltrating combat and assassination, silently counts the outlying sentry posts.

As a highly skilled former veteran Assassin, he knew that if he attacked the sentry in such a situation, his actions would soon be exposed due to their fixed patrol routes and handover times.

But it's much easier to sneak into the building with your abilities, especially if you only need a tongue.

Silent.

The figure lying on the ground gradually faded and quietly merged with the rainy night, and finally only an undetectable shadow swam quickly on the ground like a snake, without attracting the attention of the outlying sentinels, and easily slipped through the warning area into a wooden house in the corner.

Soon.

He swam out of the cabin like a snake again, only this time he still held a sleeping figure in his hand, and the miraculous thing was that the figure in his hand was also in a state of "invisibility" like him.

Now that the goal was bigger, Duncan cautiously took a slight detour, but eventually re-entered the jungle without any problems, quietly leaving with his "loot".
