Chapter 22: For the Treasure

John watched as the sailors sang and danced around the campfire in excitement because Bonnet was willing to let them go on a treasure hunt. However, the pleasure was short-lived, and soon the sailors were fighting for a place to explore. Also, these sailors were only temporarily recruited by Bonnet from the tavern, and the sailors were not familiar with each other until then. If there was no such thing as a treasure hunt, everyone would have been able to reach the end in harmony - of course, in Barbados, it was a question of whether everyone would be able to get together again after getting off the boat, but now there is a treasure!

You must know that no matter how much treasure you have, it is a lot of wealth for those who are willing to go to sea to be sailors, even if you can only get half of it, these riches may not make them rich and rich for a lifetime, but being able to eat and drink well for a few years is already a luxury that they did not dare to hope for before. And now that this opportunity is in front of them, how can they let this opportunity slip away?

Everyone wants to put all the treasure in their pockets, but with so many people watching, this idea doesn't work - but luckily this is an archipelago, and each island is not large, and everyone can still do a rough search of a small island for anomalies in a day. In addition to this, there were no diving bells on Bonnet's merchant ships, but they did have them installed on the pirate ships captured by John, so John had to borrow a ship. And who went into the water first and who went into the water later, and which sea area to look for, these are the focus of everyone's debate.

Originally, everyone could sit down and talk and discuss, but no one wanted to be left behind. Everyone is a rough man, and under the watering of rum, the language naturally becomes more and more popular, and in the end it becomes a ball.

John watched their fight. Although these sailors fought fiercely, they were quite sensible, and none of them took out their weapons, they all attacked with their fists, and the position of the attack was not critical. It seems that they just want to split the winner. In this case, John was not ready to intervene, and stopped Bonitra, who was already jumping in a hurry, and sat on the sidelines to watch the sailors' "exchange activities".

The fight began as soon as the sun went down and ended until the moon had risen in mid-air. See the last two pirates perform the finishing move "Cross Friendship Breaking Fist", which is common in the knowledge taught by the Primostone Soul.

“...... I didn't expect to be able to really see this legendary finishing move. John took a small sip of the rum in his hand and looked at the two who had fallen at the same time. Turning his head to look at Bonnet, who was already asleep, he patted Bonnet's shoulder: "Okay, Bonnet, they're done, you can sleep in peace now." ”

Bonnet was sitting on a fallen coconut tree, one hand propping her chin and nodding her head. Being slapped by John, Bonnet was excited, and his head suddenly slipped to the side, and all the drowsiness was thrown out of his head with the movement of his head. "Ah...... Oh, what? John, what do you call me?" asked Bonnet, who didn't seem to be fully conscious yet, and his head was still a little foggy, looking at John.

John pointed to the sailors who were still lying on the beach: "They finished fighting, and no one was hurt, although several received a few punches in the face. ”

Bonnet followed John's hand and saw a large group of sailors lying next to the campfire on the beach, and blinked a few times before he seemed to come back to his senses: "What...... Oh okay, okay, I saw that. So don't we leave them alone now?"

John stretched out his hands: "You don't have to worry about them, lying on the beach all night is not a big deal for them, not to mention that there is a bonfire next to it; it is estimated that when someone's strength recovers, someone will drag them back to the boat, even if it is not towed onto the boat, they will add a handful of firewood to the bonfire." You can go to sleep in peace. ”

Bonnet stood up and moved his hands and feet, which were a little numb from the awkward position: "Oh, oh, well, I'll go back to sleep first, John, aren't you sleeping?" John shrugged: "Let's go, let's sleep, tomorrow those lads don't know how noisy it will be." ”

The next day, when the sun had not even reached out of their heads, the sailors lying on the beach got up early—it was not a very pleasant thing to be blown by the cold, damp sea breeze of the early morning, but the thought that I would be able to fill my pocket with gold coins in a few days, the fire that burned in my heart burned away the cold of the early morning breeze and the fatigue of the previous night's fight. Every sailor who had just gotten up from the beach, was not in a hurry to eat, and walked straight to the side of the ship—whether it was a merchant ship or a pirate ship, there were only a limited number of boats on it, and it was impossible for every sailor to make a small boat to his island at once. These sailors were now extremely anxious, as if someone else found treasure on their island first, the treasure on the other island's island would automatically fly to the first person to find it, even if there was no treasure on the island they chose.

However, the borrowing of a small boat, whether a merchant ship or a pirate ship, requires the consent of the owner of the boat. So what they were looking for now was John and Bonnet.

John didn't fall asleep. Even in meditation, John would wake up from meditation every time the sky turned bright. At this time, John was standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the sailors who rushed towards him, even if yesterday he had divided the victory and defeat, and divided their respective territories, on the way to the end, I still pulled you, trying to leave the person running in front of him behind, and the people behind him were not without counterattack, many would turn around directly and give a punch, so that those who dared to pull themselves to roll away.

When the first one climbed into the boat and asked to borrow a boat, John was naturally obliged. Naturally, the later looked at his companion who had come here first and rowed away in a small boat, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet. At this time, it was too late to turn around and go to the merchant ship to find Bonnet. Some of the sailors who were close to the islands looked at the nearby islands and the hydrometeorological conditions, gritted their teeth, jumped off the boat, and swam to the islands.

John was struck by this desperate spirit for money. You must know that according to the knowledge of the rough world, these sailors did not eat enough calories and did not move their bodies, so they went straight into the icy water. It is impossible to say that the sailor does not understand the risk of this, and what a desire to refuse to wait even after knowing that he may drown halfway.

Of course, there are also those who are far away and those who are not so bold get together and start discussing the route, how to get on a boat with the most people on the way. But the question now is, when will those who rowed the boat away give up the search and return here with a disgraced face?
