I don't know how long it was, but the night was getting darker, and there was a faint fog on the sea, which was not very thick, but it made the air unusually humid.

Antonio felt a slight stagnation in the power in his body, although only a trace, but it made Antonio's heart uneasy.

Antonio closed his eyes and sensed carefully, there was no alien force in his body, everything seemed to be normal, but his body's reaction told him that the situation was the opposite.

"Is it really sick?"

Antonio clenched his fists, as an experienced naval colonel, his instincts told him that things were not that simple, he thought for a moment and said to one of the navy beside him, "Ron, go tell our soldiers and make them ready to fight at any time." ”

Ron was his first mate, and after hearing Antonio's words, Ron nodded, stood up on his feet, and walked outside.

Because of Varina's peculiarity, they were among all the navy soldiers, but the soldiers did not surround them neatly, but spread out and gathered in piles and piles.

After all, even if they are on the same ship, the relationship between them is different.

Herman walked out of the captain's room, followed by Andy, who was afraid that Antonio would find something out of his heart, so Andy finally let Herman into the captain's room.

But it wasn't a big deal, Anna and Margaret had been in the lounge of the captain's room, and even if they did, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Even without Andy, Anna or Margaret could easily kill him.

When Herman came out of the captain's quarters, he headed for the large wooden crates on the deck that were "full" of cargo, as if to check his cargo.

"You fools! Lao Tzu spends a lot of gold coins to feed you, and that's how you treat my goods? Do you know how precious these tea leaves from the East are! With such a big fog, don't you know to find some canvas to cover the wooden box!"

Herman's loud voice startled all the navies, they had already prepared their muskets, and at this moment they almost pulled the flint.

"Damn it! a bunch of shit!"

Herman jumped up angrily, pointing to the nearest pirate, his beard curled up, his eyes filled with disgust and disgust, as if he were looking at a piece of shit.

"Do you know how much gold it will cost me! How many gold coins it will cost! Even selling you stupid piece of waste won't be enough to compensate me for my loss!"

The pirate looked embarrassed, and he wanted to say something, but he saw Andy behind Herman, and he shivered, as if he was worried about his punishment.

Antonio looked at the scene in front of him, and although he had never been on a merchant ship, he felt that Herman fit his definition of a merchant well.

Greedy, ruthless, selfish, profit-oriented.

"Maybe it's really me overthinking. ”

With this in mind, Antonio looked at Varina, who was still asleep, with excitement and ambition in his eyes.

As long as he handed Valina over to the upper echelons of the Imperial Navy and dug up the secrets she hid, Antonio's merits were enough for him to become a commodore or even a rear admiral!

When the time comes, the Empire will reward him with a powerful contract sea beast, and in that case, he will become a nightmare for all pirates in the Sapphire Sea!

Varina's injuries had been healed by the Crimson Elixir, but it seemed that she was suffering from the same illness as herself, perhaps due to the same group of pirates they had defeated.

The blood on the deck of the pirate ship with the blood-colored flag had seeped into the planks, and no amount of washing could completely remove the traces left by the blood soaking.

It was an evil pirate ship, and perhaps the navy's disease came from that ship.

Who knows if those deranged pirates will perform some evil sacrifice on deck, causing the entire ship to suffer a terrible curse?

The damn madmen, after being captured by them, managed to slip through the bottom cabin and sink their naval sailboat.

If it weren't for the chance encounter with this merchant ship, perhaps Antonio would have been buried in the arms of the ocean with his ambitions.

Antonio's strength is very strong, but he has no background, so he can't get the more powerful Heart of the Ocean fragments.

The power of his Ocean Heart Fragment is very weak, it comes from a small sea area, and it is not much bigger than the Storm Sea, not to mention that it is still a fragment, its power can only strengthen his body, and it cannot allow him to have the kind of power that can be released like Jack or Ryan.

Even though Antonio had excellent fighting skills that allowed him to defeat enemies who were much stronger than him, he was unable to defeat the sea beast, and the small fragment could not attract the sea beast that satisfied Antonio to sign a contract with him, which became a weakness for him.

But it's nothing.

This was proved by today's battle, when Antonio used his prowess to slay the evil pirate captain, intimidating all the pirates, and with his excellent command, causing the pirate ship's sea beasts to swallow a dozen powder kegs in vain.

And he only needs one shot.

The mighty sea beast was destroyed, its head shattered by the explosion of the powder keg, and the blood stained the sea where the battle took place......

Antonio was thinking about his future when a cough interrupted his train of thought.

Varina opened her eyes, her face was pale, and she was weakly propped up, and her eyes were helpless at the sight of this somewhat unfamiliar environment.

"You're awake? We're on a merchant ship, and in two days we'll be in Port Modris. ”

Antonio saw Valina wake up with joy on his face.

Valina glanced at him, then looked away, seeming a little timid, she nodded, did not speak, but coughed involuntarily.

"We may be infected with some kind of disease, but at the moment there seems to be no problem, just a lot weaker, and when we get to Port Modris, the best alchemist will treat us. ”

Antonio continued, but Varina shook her head, looked at her palms and frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Antonio hurriedly asked, Valina was the key person in his future, and he couldn't allow her to have any problems.

"I want to ...... We didn't get it by accident, I could feel it, it was a curse......"

Antonio's pupils shrank, and he looked up in dismay.

Asking for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket, I don't know how much I owe...... What, let's pay it back slowly.
