Twenty days later.

The Queen sails alone on the sea.

Blank and helpless.

Ding Ding Ding –

Everywhere on the Queen, there were all kinds of iron strikes.

The pirates slouched the planks and mended the holes left by the Queen.

Ding Ding Ding.

Ding Ding Ding.

"Ah......h

Charlie looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and there was no cloud in the sky, but Charlie always felt that there seemed to be a smell of sadness in the sky.

Well, it seems that there is also a taste of rum.

On the lookout.

No one noticed that Xiao Sa, who was good at playing with ropes, was rubbing his palms, slowly exhaling a white mist, and then took out an ancient compass from his close arms, carefully identifying the direction, and his expression gradually became excited.

Coo-coo.

From all corners of the deck, the sound of hungry stomachs could be heard.

A pirate, with a black face, pulls a box from under the ship's cabin.

"Hey, guys, does anyone want bread?"

Bread?

Hearing this, the surrounding pirates suddenly dropped their work and pounced on the box like wolves.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is Lao Tzu's treasure!"

The moment the box is opened.

A musty smell rose to the sky, and even Xiao Sa, who was high on the lookout, smelled the smell of moldy bread and couldn't help frowning.

And that's not all.

In the pile of dark green moldy bread, there were also fat white bugs wriggling.

“Fuc…… kkk！ Even the bugs are starving! Actually stealing bread!! ”

The others broke down and wept bitterly.

In general, pirates have the dignity of a pirate, and moldy bread can be eaten, but never worm-grown bread.

Unless...... I couldn't stand the hunger.

"Wait!"

Another pirate suddenly thought of a way and secretly took out a piece of dried salted fish from a gap in a pile of barrels.

"Yo-"

The moment they saw the dried salted fish, the onlookers were all dazzled.

Don't get me wrong, this dried salted fish is also covered with bugs, but it's not meant to be eaten.

Seasoned pirates have a lot of experience, and naturally they have a unique way of dealing with boxes of moldy and bug-infested bread.

Just put the dried salted fish on the top of the bread, and the hungry insects in the bread will take the initiative to run out, burrow into the dried salted fish and eat it, and give the bread a clean slate.

Thereupon.

On the deck, a group of pirates gathered in a circle, staring at the dried salted fish on the bread, in a silent daze.

An hour later.

The dried salted fish is covered with white flower insects, wriggling endlessly.

The moldy bread is finally "clean".

While nibbling on bread.

Someone couldn't help but glance at the confined hatch on the deck, their eyes full of longing.

"It's almost time."

Suddenly.

A dog scrambled out of the captain's cabin with fleshy bones.

By the way, he hooked his hind legs and closed the door again.

The pirates were no stranger to the dog's clever movements, and every day at about this time, the captain's dog would run to the captain's room regularly, pick out a fresh bone, and then squat on the deck to bask in the sun, picking at the minced meat on the bone, and making a clicking sound.

Goo-dong.

A whole boatload of hungry pirates gnawing on moldy bread, staring at the bones in the dog's mouth with bloodshot eyes, swallowed the saliva in unison.

By the way, two lines of tears of envy were shed.

Why is it that even a dog has bones to eat, but we can only gnaw on moldy bread?

We're so envious!

We want to be dogs, too!

Now that I think about it, there's nothing wrong with being a dog!

Great captain, can you give him a chance to be a dog?

At the same time, all the pirates made a wish in their hearts to be a dog for the rest of their lives.

Merely.

The pirates were just thinking about it, and they were just looking at it in their eyes, and the corners of their mouths were greedy.

Snatch the dog's bones? Hehe, non-existent.

Remember a few days ago.

There was once a naïve pirate who, mad with hunger, rushed straight up and grabbed the bones from the dog's mouth.

In the end, the dog, who looked weak, smashed his chest with one paw, and convulsed on the deck for a full minute before dying happily.

Everyone remembered well that the poor pirate, as the Queen swayed on the waves, the broken bones in his chest rubbed against the deck, making a clattering sound, which was very pleasant to the ear, but made everyone's scalp tingle.

Since that day, no pirate who is not afraid of death has dared to covet the bones in Emperor Wang's mouth.

It's just that the pirates learned through observation that dogs also have a good habit.

Every time the dog finished gnawing on the bone, it would spit on the deck with disdain, and by that time, a group of hungry pirates would desperately pick up the dry bones and lick the smell of meat on the bones before they had time to completely dissipate.

You can't eat meat, and it's excellent to lick a few bites.

Irin: "......"

In the captain's cabin.

After sending away Emperor Wang Tian with a spare bone, Yi Rin sat on the bed board again and studied it silently.

In fact, he hadn't been in front of anyone else for days.

The life and living on the ship are all under the sole responsibility of Ruth, the caring first mate.

In the cabin, there were no other outsiders, and Irin simply released all restraints and comfortably showed his truest side.

He finally understood why some women in the real world didn't like to wear underwear.

This feeling of uninhibited did make Irin feel a sense of freedom to let go of herself.

Irin silently gave a thumbs up.

There was a roll of sheepskin in front of Irin.

There are twenty-eight scratches on it.

Today is the twenty-eighth day after the voyage from Tetuga.

"Is it a third of the way through the second quest?"

Irin shook her head helplessly, took out another small notebook from under her pillow, and looked at the scribbled records on it.

Originally, with Irin's memory, this kind of thing didn't need to be written down.

But this aimless seafaring life really makes it difficult for Irin to remember such boring things, so he simply uses this boring stupid method to kill time by the way.

"Sunk pirate ships: 6."

"Heavy damage to naval vessels: 3."

"Caught in a Storm: 2 times."

"Across the thundercloud area: 2 times."

"Encounter a mini-vortex: 1 time."

"Encounter a cute tentacle little sea monster: 1 time."

“……”

This is the record of the Queen.

It is also the reason why the Queen is so badly damaged at present.

Every time Ruth mentions this, she looks weird.

She couldn't have imagined that in just twenty days, she would experience such a rich "calamity".

What is even more unexpected is that the Queen can still live until now.

Irin closed his eyes and thought carefully.

Soon, he opened the captain's panel again.

Today, Irin's master of the various data and operations on the captain's panel has long been proficient.

……

【Captain's Panel】

Name: Skull Gentleman

【Flag】Gentleman's flag

Reputation: 22332/30000

【Grade】Famous all over the world

【Skill】Captain's Discernment

【Crew】Ruth Emily, Sachs Sparrow, Emperor Wang...... (Click for details)

【Curse】"Bringing a woman on board will bring bad luck"

【Fleet】HMS Queen

……

As the reputation required for subsequent reputation levels rises, the above-mentioned record is just to upgrade Irin from "fame" to "fame".

It seems that there is still some distance from the "Pirate King".

Irin shook his head, sighed, and tapped his finger at the Queen.

The crew, materiel, and equipment of the Queen, the goodness of the equipment, the degree of damage, the shells, and ...... All the data is clearly laid out in front of you.

"The overall damage has reached 42%, and once it exceeds 50%, it is very likely to affect the next voyage."

"Moreover, the supplies are also stretched thin at the moment......"

Irin felt a headache again.

This trial, unlike in the game, can skip garbage time at will.

Every minute and every second at sea, no matter how boring and boring, must be experienced bit by bit, and as fresh water and food become more and more scarce, Irin gradually feels the horror and vastness of the ocean.

Even the apostles may not be able to fully endure this terrible loneliness and suffering.

Irin silently took out half of the moldy black bread from the storage space and took a bite.

Ruth beside her had already come up and opened her mouth obediently.

Irin glanced at poor Ruth, and after stuffing the bread into her mouth, she saw that Ruth seemed to have a tendency to bite it out, so she immediately pulled out the long strip of bread and quickly retracted it into the storage space, so as not to be eaten by the hungry Ruth in one bite.

Ruth licked her lips and saw that the tempting bread had "magically" disappeared again, and her face was full of resentment.

"My dear captain, if you continue like this, you will lose my ......"

"Get out."

For Ruth, Irin has always had this attitude that is neither salty nor light.

Ruth sighed and didn't continue to spill.

"Dear Rin, according to my calculations, if we don't find a way to replenish supplies, our food and fresh water will only last for five days at most."

In fact, if it weren't for Irin's magic, which could conjure "fresh" food out of thin air, Ruth would have been unable to hold on to it.

Irin nodded, not saying more.

"And those guys are starting to sit still, if it weren't for your dog...... Hehe. ”

For pirates, credit is, betrayal is commonplace, and in this situation where food and water are gradually running out, if it weren't for Emperor Wang Tiandi guarding the deck, that group of pirates would have risen up and rushed into Irin's room to grab food in desperation.

After all, every day the dogs were able to extract a fresh bone from Irin's room, and if their captain didn't have any food to hide...... The devil believes.

For Ruth's reminder, Irin was already clear.

The biggest change on the captain's panel is the number and loyalty of the crew, in addition to the pile of material data.

After these twenty days, various battles and shipwrecks reduced Irin's crew from nearly 200 people to 101...... Among them was also a dog.

It is worth mentioning that the combat effectiveness floor Charlie ...... It's unbelievable that he's still alive.

Except for Wang Tiandi's loyalty is still zero, and Ruth's loyalty has strangely doubled, the loyalty of the other crew members has plummeted, and many have fallen to negative numbers.

- Mutiny is possible at any time.

As Ruth said, if it weren't for the dogs, and Irin's intimidating power in the first few naval battles, these lawless pirates would have overthrown the skeletal gentleman captain's rule.

Another half day passed.

The saxophone, who was on the lookout, suddenly pulled the alarm frantically.

"Another enemy ship?"

Ruth's expression changed, she skillfully pulled behind her, tied a standard bow on her chest, and quickly resumed her "Louis First Mate" costume and rushed out of the cabin.

Because Ruth's figure is not as exaggerated as Elizabeth Rin's, she is more than twice as efficient at dressing as Rin.

In this regard, Yi Rin expressed deep helplessness.

Yi Rin quietly let out Bai Xiaoyi and quietly inserted an eye on the deck.

I saw that outside the ship, the light was dim.

There was a thick fog that seemed to be like substance.

At some point, the Queen sailed into a sea filled with thick fog.

Seeing that there was no enemy ship as he imagined, Yi Rin quickly put Bai Xiaoyi away.

Ten minutes later.

Ruth ran back again.

It's just that her expression is a little strange: "Ahead...... It seems like there is an island. ”
