A month passed, and the crew of the Jackdaw was almost happy on land, and the gold in their pockets had been spent, and even more so when they came back, they were already in debt.

Zhang Heng didn't know how that guy did it, the last time he went to sea, everyone got at least forty gold coins, which was enough for ordinary people to live a good life for two or three years, but on the bright side, these guys are now hungry and thirsty again, and they all miss the breath of the sea.

And it just so happened that Karina also brought back some valuable information this time, so the Jackdaw set sail again after a period of repairs and personnel replenishment.

At the same time, the businesswomen and black gladiators who remained in Nassau also took action.

Before the Black Merchant Alliance could attack, Karina went on the offensive first, renting a warehouse by the dock and sending a message to the small and medium-sized pirates on the island that they were willing to buy the spoils they received when they went to sea at a better price than the Black Merchant Alliance.

This news still attracted a lot of attention on the island, although Karina is a woman and has just arrived on the island, but with the help of the jackdaw's last dream maiden voyage, she has also begun to be known by more people as a partner.

Especially among small and medium-sized pirates, everyone knows that there are other channels other than the Black Merchant Alliance that can also sell loot, and for this part of the people, the Black Merchant Alliance is not as polite as it is to those powerful pirates, because they themselves can't grab anything valuable, so the purchase price given is very low.

And there was no agreement between the two sides, and Karina's choice of them as a target quickly paid off, but the captain of the Breeze, Malone, looked at the long queue in front of the warehouse, and he couldn't laugh a little.

Most of the guys were dressed in tatters, and their weapons were varied, and although they all called themselves pirates, they were more like beggars and thugs to Marlon.

You can imagine what kind of loot these guys can provide.

An old pirate staggered to the table, and Malone even suspected that the other man was older than his great-grandfather, who had been buried for many years.

The old pirate placed a basket of crabs on the table under the bookkeeper's puzzled gaze.

The latter had to point to the sign behind him that read the second-hand goods trading office, and said politely, "Sorry, sir, we don't accept seafood." ”

"Be careful kid, I was in Nassau when you were your age, but everyone knew about it, even Henry? Morgan had to be polite when he saw me, this is the trophy I grabbed from this trip. The old pirate warned.

"But...... That doesn't change the fact that they're seafood, sir. The young bookkeeper said straightly.

Malone knows the guy, the other party's name is Jim, he personally recruited to the ship last year, it is not easy to find someone who can count and read this year, and the latter has been conscientious, some time ago the news of Mr. Fagan's accident came out, the crew on the Breeze ran more than half, what Marlon didn't expect was that Jim, the best person to find a job, stayed.

After making money this time, the first thing Malone did was to ask Karina to give the South Carolina guy a salary increase, but at this moment he leaned against the door of the warehouse, watching the latter work hard to explain to the other party the difference between seafood and loot.

"I snatched it from those fishermen, so it's the loot, and your boss said you buy the loot, and that's my loot." The old pirate glared and said loudly, "Is there anything wrong with this?!" ”

Sweat oozed from Jim's forehead, "I think there's some misunderstanding here, sir." ”

The businesswoman on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and seeing that the other pirates behind the team were all impatient, she said to the bookkeeper, "Give him five copper sobies, we will accept this thing, and quickly let the next person come over." ”

Jim's face showed a hint of relief when he heard this, and he sent away the old pirate who was muttering vampires and was still a little disgruntled, and the next pirate who came over took two glass balls out of his pocket.

"It's a complete disaster." Malone muttered to himself, and then he said to Karina, who was walking over to catch her breath, "Do you know that no matter which colonial port we pull these things to, they will definitely not be able to sell?" Didn't we talk about it when you first came to Nassau, we didn't make any money on these guys, I thought we had a consensus, why are you starting to spend your energy on these guys now?

The captain of the transport ship sighed, and continued, "With all due respect, I think what we're doing now is just a waste of time, and with all this money it would be better to have a poor boy like Jim who works hard to have fun in the yard on the island, and I bet he's a chick." ”

"Thanks for the reminder, I know how to tell if a cargo has value, Captain Malone." The businesswoman said, "If you can find a second Jackdaw on the island to work with us, then I'll be happy to get rid of all the guys over there, and if you can't, keep your mouth shut, and if you're really bored, either go to the house and find a girl to you, or come and help." ”

"I still prefer the former." Malone put down the hands that were holding on his chest and was about to slip away, but he took a few steps and stopped, "Is there something wrong with my hearing, or did you really say the word yourself just now?" ”

"Any questions?" Karina asked rhetorically.

"I just remember the first time Mr. Fagan took you aboard the Breeze, how old were you then, eight or nine? Dressed like a porcelain doll, you carry your skirt and don't let it touch the deck of the ship, as if it was dirty, frowning the whole time, just wanting to finish quickly, I can't imagine that little lady girl would become what she is today, you really did, Miss Karina, start to accept and integrate into this place, and sooner than everyone thinks, your father will be proud of you. Malone sighed.

"It's still early, it's not easy to survive in this place. Especially since our opponent is still a behemoth, and I have to rack my brains to get a little respite. ”

The businesswoman paused, "But thank you, Uncle Marlon, for not leaving our house even after something like that. ”

Malone waved his hand, "When I was at my worst, Mr. Fagan gave me this job, and I won't forget this kindness, but now, I don't want to waste my energy on meaningless things, so I'll go to the theater to find a maid to myself." ”
