It was still Wang Hao at the helm, Bonnet leaned on the fence next to him, and the two chatted with each other.

I have to complain about the sailing speed of wind-powered sailboats in this era. Even with a capable helmsman like Wang Hao at the helm, it still takes half a month or even more to get from that desert island to Havana.

However, in this short period of time, the relationship between Wang Hao and Bonnet has warmed up a lot.

The main reason is that whenever Wang Hao is at the helm, Bonnet is like a curious baby, appearing next to him on time, pestering Wang Hao and asking him to tell 'magical stories on the sea'.

Most of the time, Wang Hao will ignore him, but the journey is too long, so long that there will always be times when he gets bored. At this time, Wang Hao will pick some stories that he thinks are more interesting, bring a little bit of his own private goods, and tell Bonnet.

And Wang Hao also learned about his life experience and the source of his attachment to the sea from Bonnet's mouth.

Bonnet grew up in a family of large plantation owners in the Caribbean, and during his childhood, his parents died suddenly, and Bonnet was able to inherit hundreds of acres of land.

Bonnet, on the other hand, was also very capable, taking control of the entire plantation and making them profitable as a teenager.

But this did not give him a sense of accomplishment, and his early marriage and the death of his children made him even more depressed.

So he joined the Navy, so he bought the current ship and named it "Explorer" for smuggling activities. It's not that he's really short of money, it's just a way he copes with grief and insecurity.

"You know, Wang, perhaps, I should buy a sword to carry with me." After a merchant ship was ambushed by a 'raider', Bonnet said to Wang Hao.

Yes, it's 'raiders', and Wang Hao doesn't even want to call them 'pirates'.

A tattered dhow, also without a cannon on it, and a dozen or so ragged men, who were trying to make themselves look more vicious, brandished their daggers and battle axes, and shouted unknown trumpets, appeared from behind a huge reef.

It is said that Wang Hao doesn't want to pay attention to this kind of person, and Bonnet also reminded on the side that as long as he accelerates and gets rid of them.

However, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they still managed to squat on the passing "Expedition".

"It's so poor! So poor that you don't even have a musket, what face do you have to come out and rob! ”

Looking at this group of poor raiders, this is simply subverting the three views, and it also makes the chic and handsome pirate image in Wang Hao's heart disappear.

Then, before the two ships officially started the broadside battle, and the sailors on the merchant ship had already begun to distribute weapons, Wang Hao jumped onto the dnaker and slashed 5 raiders in a row with a sailor's knife, and his own body was not even stained with blood.

As for why not use 'Jairus'?

This is when Wang Hao recently wanted to refine the 'Jairus' into a magic sword, only to find that the sword body was stained with the blood of mortals, and it would become more difficult to refine. So in the future, until the critical moment, Wang Hao will not use it to kill people at will.

Wang Hao's brave performance can scare the raiders who have been living at the bottom, so the rest of the people made a very wise choice - abandon the ship and flee for their lives.

Should it be said that the little people know how to survive better?

However, this looting was not completely without gains. Wang Hao stumbled upon a weapon that was very suitable for him - the harpoon.

This was found on the Marauder's spinnaker. It seems that it is not easy for anyone, they are not only robbers, but also have to wear many hats, otherwise they are very likely to starve to death.

At the moment when he saw the harpoon, Wang Hao remembered a character in "One Piece" - Lieutenant General Karp who used cannon shells as a long-range attack weapon.

Wang Hao is cautious that with his current strength, it is not too practical to throw a solid iron ball, but if it is a harpoon, it is much simpler.

And the harpoon is completely different from the take-off knife.

After all, it goes without saying which is more deterrent than a throwing knife that kills a person, or a harpoon that nails a person to a mast or deck.

Back to the present, Bonnet looked at Wang Hao, who was pulling the rope hard, and the muscles on his body were bulging, and then said: "Even so, I am like a weak kitten by your side, and I am not lethal. Maybe a small dagger...... Or a pistol, it would suit me better! ”

Completely ignoring Wang Hao, who was still working hard to tie the rope, the more Bonnet said, the more excited he became: "Maybe I should also buy a few pistols and put them on my body, so that we can look a little more powerful." How about the two of us forming a pirate called the 'Demon Twins'? I bet we're going to be a good match! ”

“……”

"Aha! Refreshing Havana! I've been here many times before and each time it's been a delightful trip! ”

After a long voyage that they didn't even want to count, Wang Hao finally arrived at the destination of their trip, Havana.

Bonnette waved in the direction of the port and sighed: "Two years ago, Spain and England were still at war, it's incredible!" And I'm trading with the Spaniards here now, like they're really my relatives. ”

Wang Hao noticed that it was the Spanish flag fluttering over Havana, "It seems that there are still some years before the plot is launched!" ”

The merchant ship was firmly docked at the dock, and Bonnet commanded the sailors to move the goods into the warehouse, and carefully counted them several times before he was relieved.

At this time, Wang Hao was sitting on the mast at the bow of the ship, thinking about what he should do next. "Forget it, let's find a place to settle down first, and then think about the next problems!"

The problem with money is not to worry, but the storage space is not available, and the gold cannot be carried with you. When he was on the ship, Wang Hao had already exchanged the gold he had taken out in advance for the silver coins he needed from Bonnet.

So Wang Hao jumped on the dock and found Bonnet, "Is there any place in this city where I can rest, I have to find a place to settle down first." ”

Bonnet scratched his head and stammered, "Hmm...... In fact, I was about to go to a tavern to talk to a merchant, and I thought...... I think I can take you to have a drink and then find a place to rest. ”

Wang Hao looked at the person in front of him and felt that something was wrong, this was not like the usual Bonnet. However, he didn't notice anything wrong, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, then lead the way!" ”

Sure enough, just a few steps out of the dock, I heard Bonnet say in a low voice, "Uh...... I hope that when I talk to someone about something, you can wait for me nearby, at least not too far away from me. You know, if something misunderstands, a person with a strong body like you can at least scare the others. ”

So that's the case, Wang Hao smiled knowingly and said, "No problem, I'll have a drink next to you and wait for you." ”

"Oh, that's great, have a drink, I'm in for a treat!"
