Fifty-five days had passed since the Jackdaw's departure, and rumors had begun to circulate on the island.

Some people say that Zhang Heng and they encountered a storm and lost their way at sea, some people say that they were caught by the navy, and there was a fierce battle between the two sides, and finally the Jackdaw was sunk, and some people even swore that they met a mermaid, and the crew of the ship was lured by the song and threw themselves into the sea......

However, no matter what rumors have one thing in common, that is, they all believe that the Jackdaw will not come back, and the supplies that Zhang Heng and they carried before going to sea are not a secret, and now a month and a half has passed, even if the loss on the road is not considered, the food and fresh water reserves on the Jackdaw have bottomed out, and they still haven't returned to Hong Kong.

This kind of thing is not uncommon among pirates, especially the newly established pirate group, but because Zhang Heng owns a warship and recruits a female boatswain unusually, it attracts more attention.

The reactions of the people on the island to this final result were mixed, and the gamblers who had bet on the Jackdaw for nothing before were naturally elated, and the vast majority of the melon-eating parties who watched the excitement still felt a little regretful, and they still wanted to see the Jackdaw return empty-handed, and the wonderful follow-up of Zhang Heng, the rookie captain, being overthrown by his subordinates.

In contrast, James on the other side was much more straightforward, hearing the good news, he had a good drink in the tavern to celebrate Zhang Heng, the rival who snatched love with a knife, hung up, but remembering that Anne was also on that ship, he suddenly couldn't be happy again, he spent so much effort to turn the latter to the New World, and invested a lot of money in the red-haired girl one after another, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and James suddenly found that the rum in the cup tasted nothing.

Harry was probably the only one on the entire island who was really sorry for the Jackdaw.

He had been a little listless for the past two days, and without the red-haired demon he could reign in a few nearby streets, and he still had in his pocket the bronze Sobi that the other imps had come to him in the morning, but for some reason he always felt that something was missing in his life.

Harry put his hands in his pockets and kicked the pebbles at his feet in boredom, remembering the time when he was pressed to the ground and beaten by the man.

The fist of power and rage rained down like a raindrop, and in Harry's own words afterwards, it was beyond the fight itself, and every punch she threw seemed to convey some kind of faith, even when I was beaten in the chest, I could feel something burning.

Unfortunately, however, he would never see that figure again, and Harry couldn't help but let out a lonely sigh that didn't match his age.

The two bear children behind him looked at each other, only suspecting that their old brains had been beaten stupidly.

At this moment, the three of them saw a figure running from the pier, and the man rushed directly into a casino not far away, shouting as he ran, "It's back, it's back, the Jackdaw is back!" Hahahaha, I haven't lost yet! ”

The two little ghosts were taken aback when they heard this, during this time, everyone on the island has basically accepted the statement that the Jackdaw suffered an accident, after all, if the latter could come back, it should have come back a long time ago, according to past experience, such overdue people have basically suffered accidents, I didn't expect things to take a turn, and then look at their own boss, but they have long disappeared.

Harry rushed to the docks in one breath, and at this time the neighborhood was already crowded with many people watching the excitement, Harry relied on his small body, squeezed through the crowd, and finally paid off, he was squeezed to the front, and saw the Jackdaw put down a small boat and row this way.

To his disappointment, however, he did not see Anne on it, and that it was another woman sitting in the bow of the boat.

The onlookers are estimated to have become numb, and they don't know where so many women have popped up on the Jackdaw, and they are more interested in what the Jackdaw's maiden voyage has been like than exploring Zhang Heng's private life.

However, when the pirates on board had brought the businesswoman ashore, they rowed back without saying a word, and Karina found the captain of her transport at the first time, and did not know what to say to him, and then saw the latter hurriedly summon the sailors to the ship, during which they did not say anything, as if they had not heard.

Their unusual behavior made the onlookers more curious, and then someone finally recognized Karina's identity as a black market merchant, she had also contacted some captains and peers on the island some time ago, but unfortunately she was still unable to join the newly formed black merchant alliance as she wished, and many people thought that she had left Nassau, but she did not expect to get together with the Jackdaw, which had just appeared recently.

Then the group saw the Breeze anchored in the harbor sail to the side of the Jackdaw, and the two ships were connected by gangboards, and the pirates on the Jackdaw began to deliver boxes of cargo onto the Breeze.

Because they were still some distance from the docks, they could not tell what the boxes were, only that there seemed to be a lot of them, and they also found that Karina then found the merchant in charge of mortgage lending on the island, and stayed in the latter's house for about an hour.

The latter then delivered her to the door herself, and by dusk Karina had boarded the Breeze and sailed out of the harbor, while the pirates aboard the Jackdaw had not yet disembarked.

Zhang Heng just sent a few old men who were more tight-mouthed, and got off the ship to purchase some food, wine, melons and fruits, in order to appease the pirates who were a little restless because they couldn't get ashore, which was also a helpless thing, although Nassau had an unwritten rule that pirates could not touch the transport ships of black merchants, but the value of the goods this time was too valuable, and there were still people who would take risks after getting the news.

Although the rest of the deal is no longer related to the Jackdaw, with Karina's current assets, she can't afford to eat so much goods, so she can only use the mortgage of the two properties in New Hampshire and the Breeze to raise a batch of first money to pay for the share of the pirates on board, and the remaining half of the public funds that go to the Jackdaw can only be made up after the merchant sells the goods.

Therefore, Zhang Heng must ensure the safety of the Breeze, in addition, the two are now allies, it is not a one-shot deal, he also needs the latter to help him continue to sell the loot, it is impossible to see the businesswoman in danger.

He still remembers the lessons of Kidd's treasure, and if he puts the guys back on the ship, it won't be long before the whole island knows that there is a batch of valuable spices on the Breeze.
