As Orff's voice fell, the faces of the pirates on the deck varied.

Most of the newcomers who have only joined in the past few days are relieved, Orff said very clearly, the traitor is the person who once fought side by side with him, which means that they are safe in this matter, and they can eat melons and watch the show, on the other hand, the expressions of the old people are a little ugly.

Some people were silent, some couldn't help but scold, and some questioned that Orff's accusations were unfounded, while everyone was looking at each other suspiciously.

And Orff, the initiator of all this, did not speak again after saying this.

His gaze swept over the people on the deck again, and when it was Zhang Heng's turn, the latter didn't know if it was his own delusion, and he felt that Orff's gaze stayed on him for about half a second longer than the others.

Then the helmsman spoke again, "Unfortunately, this traitor does not seem to have the courage to admit what he has done, and it seems that I can only help him." ”

After speaking, he walked in the direction where Zhang Heng was, and everyone's eyes also gathered here, and Orff took out the short musket on his waist as he walked.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed in Zhang Heng's head, and one of his hands had already grasped the [Shadow Moment] in his pocket.

Orff paused in front of him, then said politely, "I'm sorry, can I let me go?" ”

After speaking, his gaze crossed over to Zhang Heng and looked at the black gunner behind Zhang Heng, the latter's expression changed suddenly, and he said angrily, "Orff, you are a communiqué personal vendetta!" Get revenge for what I challenged you earlier. As he spoke, he looked left and right, excitedly, "Are you just looking at him and slandering me?" He can do this to me today, and he can do the same to you tomorrow, and in the end the ship is completely up to him! ”

The words of the black gunner still played a role, and the pirates looked at Orff with suspicion.

There is such a thing as a power struggle, which is common on many pirate ships, but generally few people will kill the losers, which will make the other pirates on the ship have a strong sense of crisis, and the unprincipled mistakes of the losing side are basically downplayed, if Orff is indeed coming for Goodwin this time, then the impact will be very bad.

He may not be immediately dismissed because he has the clues to the treasure, but once he has the treasure, the crew is likely to band together to overthrow him.

In fact, because of the black gunner's words, many pirates have become resistant to Orff, but the latter is not in a hurry, "If I remember correctly, you were the first to go ashore when the Sea Lion last landed, and less than an hour later, it was rumored that we were looking for treasure, don't tell me it's just an accident." ”

Goodwin is worthy of being a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and when he heard this, his face did not show any panic, and he snorted coldly, "There are almost twenty people who came ashore in the first batch, why do you think that I leaked the news." ”

"Because afterwards I asked Owen to ask everyone, and everyone was able to tell what they were doing during this time, and they could find someone to prove it, only you said that you went back to your lodgings and slept as soon as you got ashore, and no one could prove it."

The black gunner said angrily, "What, do you have to find someone to prove it when you sleep now?!" ”

"Of course not, but then someone sees you coming out of Marshall's house, how are you going to explain it?" "Some of you may not know who Marshall is, he is the biggest money lender on the island, but he is more powerful at collecting debts than he is. ”

Orff looked at Goodwin again, and cold sweat had begun to ooze from the latter's forehead, "You seem to have bribed a lot of people to win votes in order to take my place, and I can't help but wonder where this money came from?" The price of borrowing money from Marshall is not small, no wonder you look like you are desperate when you lose, the news that you did not become the helmsman as soon as the Sea Lion docks should have spread, and now when it is time to repay the debt, you have no money, so you have to sell Marshall the news that we are looking for treasure, right? ”

The black gunner wasn't just sweating anymore, he was still making his last struggles, insisting that Orff was slandering him, but he already looked a little inward-looking.

Goodwin had to admit that he had indeed borrowed money from Marshall, and that he had gone to the other party to ask him for a little more grace, but he denied that he had sold the treasure to Marshall, saying that he had never betrayed the Sea Lion.

However, the eyes of the surrounding pirates were getting colder and colder, and the people who were standing near him silently distanced themselves from him, and a look of despair flashed in the eyes of the black gunner.

He suddenly pulled his legs and ran towards the side of the ship, the Sea Lion had just left the port, not far from Nassau, if he managed to jump into the water, there was a high probability that he could swim back, but the next moment Orff pulled the trigger in his hand.

The bullet burrowed into the lower leg of the black gunner, who had only taken two steps before falling to the deck, where he was held down by the other pirates.

Orff said, "It's too cheap to kill him like this, tie him to the mast, the sun is good these days, let him have a good sun." ”

Goodwin cursed frantically, "Orff, you old liar with a mouth full of lies! Someday you're going to hell too!! I'm waiting for you there......"

He tried to go on, but then his mouth was gagged, and several of the new pirates who had just come aboard the ship tied him to the mainmast with cables, and they did not bother to bandage the wound on his leg.

Orff put away the short musket in his hand, "Those who know me know that I am not a cruel person, and I don't like any punishment, but it is my duty to protect everyone's interests and ensure the safety of every voyage, I am not targeting Mr. Goodwin, I just hope that everyone can take this as a warning, and do not betray this ship again, betray your companions, otherwise Mr. Goodwin's today is your tomorrow." Alright, now let's continue this treasure hunt. ”

Orff waved his hand and told the sailors on deck to return to their respective posts.

Zhang Heng was checking the starboard ribs, but what he didn't expect was that the helmsman then walked in front of him again, "How is it, is everything normal?" ”

Zhang Heng nodded, "There is no problem with the sails." ”

"That's good." Orff changed his previous coldness towards the black gunner, and said gently, "Rothko has a high opinion of you, he said that as long as you are given time to grow, you will become the best sail controller on the Sea Lion, before everyone voted for the sail captain, you and Old Mike The final vote is very close, only a little bit, don't be discouraged, do a good job, this position will be yours sooner or later." ”
