Chapter XXV. The Captive
The battle on the deck was over, and the bodies of the pirates were thrown into the sea, including the pirates of the goddess of despair, and under the leadership of Zack, everyone took off their pirate hats and mourned in silence for two minutes.
Two minutes later, the pirates' greedy nature was revealed.
A large plank stretched out from the Goddess of Despair, one end of which was attached to the newly barbed pirate ship, large enough for several people to travel together, and it was essential for the pirates to transport their belongings.
Captain's room, cabin, storage room.
The pirates didn't miss a single place where the jewels might have been hidden.
Andy also entered the captain's room of this ship, which was dressed tastefully, but it was worse than Zack's captain's room.
Roger instructed a few pirates to bring back jewels and expensive drinks, while he rummaged around the captain's table for a long time, and then cursed with a bad face.
"This damn old thing, it's really ruined!"
Andy peeked at it and noticed that Roger had turned over the charts, and it seemed that he was supposed to be looking for the captain's treasure map, but apparently, he didn't find it.
Andy walked around, taking advantage of Roger's inattention, secretly took something from the trinket in the captain's room, and walked out.
The pirates seemed to be making a good profit, boxes of jewels had been transported to the Goddess of Despair, rum and other things like fruit had been thrown into the sea to lighten their loads as they fled, but the pirates didn't care either, now they were only interested in golden, shiny jewels.
All the pirates returned to the goddess of despair, and they used their boarding axes to cut the cable connecting the two ships, retrieved the planks, raised the sails, adjusted the direction, and prepared for a new voyage.
As for the pirate ship, who cares if it sinks into the abyss of the sea or drifts to which desert island it drifts to?
The poor pirate captain of the enemy ship was a fairly sturdy white man, but he looked a little old, like a little old man in his fifties, and his golden beard was already starting to be mixed with a little white.
He was in a bad state right now, his thighs were still bleeding, his hands were tied with cables, and Roger pushed him and brought him to Zach.
is still a little backbone, and he didn't beg for mercy, nor did he scold.
I'm supposed to be an old pirate.
Zach pulled out his scimitar, put the blade on the old man's shoulder, and pressed it down hard, blood instantly flowed out of his shoulder, staining the linen clothes red.
The two of them froze for a moment, the blade sinking completely into the old pirate's shoulder, blood running down his arm.
The old pirate stared at Zach without saying a word.
The old pirate's brow furrowed, he was willing not to give up this arm, but also to keep his captain's dignity.
"Very good, very nice. ”
Zach exclaimed and withdrew his scimitar, the pirate's shoulders were already peeled open, and Sensen's bones could be seen.
"Your backbone has earned my respect, sir, and I can let you die a dignified death. ”
"Thank you. ”
The old pirate spoke, his voice a little hoarse, and he shivered with pain.
"Tell me your name, you have the qualifications. ”
Zach said lightly that if the old pirate had just knelt down, he would have cut off his head without hesitation after getting what he wanted, and now, he was willing to know and ask for the name of this guy.
"Ethan Holt. The old pirate glanced at the many pirates on deck and said, "Captain of the Spear of the Seas. ”
"Oh, it's an honor, sir, that I've heard of your name. ”
Zach raised his eyebrows, the Spear of the Sea, a well-known pirate ship in the Tempest Sea, claimed to be able to pierce the strong walls of the Naval Harbor.
Captain Ethan was a little uncomfortable with Zack's tone, and he thought that Zach was mocking him.
He looked at the blood-red pirate flag fluttering on the mast and smiled, "Goddess of Despair, Captain Zack, the Son of Despair, I have also heard of your name, the Goddess of Despair can compete with the Black Dragon of Pixar, the butcher of the seas. ”
After a pause, Ethan sighed, "I didn't lose unjustly. ”
Zack's face was a little bad, he had a fight with Pixar back then, the Goddess of Despair almost sank to the bottom of the sea, although the opponent's Black Dragon did not take advantage, but he still lost.
It was that defeat that cost him the opportunity to fight for the Pirate King of the Stormstorm Sea.
"Sir, it's time to get down to business, you know what I want. ”
Zack's one-eyed staring at Ethan, cold and sharp.
"The treasure of the spear of the sea? I'm sorry, but I want this treasure to be buried forever in the sea with me. ”
Ethan looked directly at Zach and said slowly.
Zach stared at him for a long time and nodded.
"Roger, send him on his way. ”
"Hey, give me a glass of rum!"
Ethan shook Roger's hand off him and screamed.
"Of course, your wishes will be granted. ”
Zach waved his hand, and the pirates below brought a large glass of rum.
Ethan drank the rum from his glass and laughed a few times.
When he chose to be a pirate decades ago, he already knew that one day he would meet this fate, and he also enjoyed it for decades, spending gold coins that ordinary people could never earn in a lifetime, and hundreds of women.
In this life, it's worth it!
Ethan walked to the side of the ship, let the pirates tie his feet and hands tightly, looked back, and plunged headlong into the ocean.
His shoulders and thighs were still bleeding, which would attract sharks or something, and his hands and feet were tied, which was already a certain death.
This is a decent way to die, at least it is much better than picking off the tendons and tendons, stripping naked and tying them to the mast.
The treasure map of the Spear of the Sea was destroyed by Ethan the moment the pirates of the Goddess of Despair boarded the ship, so Roger and the others did not find it, which is why he left the captain alive.
As for the other pirates, they don't know where the treasure is.
When heading to the treasure spot, only the captain can sail the boat and read the map, which is the rule.
"Alright, gentlemen!" Zach clapped his hands, keeping the pirates' eyes focused, "Next, let's revel!"
According to the rules, part of the plunder was given to the people, part to the captain, and the other part to be hidden in the treasure field.
The moment of carnival is the time to share the spoils.
The Ocean Spear had obviously just made a vote, but for some reason he entered the Endless Sea, maybe he came here chasing his prey, and then got lost in the sea fog.
Zach picked out two pieces of Oriental porcelain from the box and placed them in the captain's room, which was a work of art of God, slippery like a woman's body.
Because the pirates would squander any amount of gold they received, the captain only gave each of them five gold coins and dozens of silver coins, plus the previous gold coins, enough for them to squander the next time they anchored.
The old sailor Mutter was awarded an extra gem for his work in firing the double-chained cannon.
Some of the gold and silver artifacts were still on deck for the pirates to use, while the rest of the jewels were given to Bibab, who would lock them in the treasure room beneath the ship's cabin.
Poor Buck, the rum he salvaged was used by Captain Zack to reward all the pirates, and if nothing else, they would have a carnival on deck tonight.
Andy threw the gold coins into his money bag and felt a sense of satisfaction as he listened to the tinkling sound inside.
He hadn't had that much money since he had been adopted by Anna, enough money to buy something he liked when he came ashore.
