When Andy finds Buck, he is gambling with several pirates.

As for the bets, rum, of course.

Pirates are naturally bored when they don't have a goal, Captain Zack likes to hide in the captain's room to study the route and some mysterious things, the first mate Roger stands on the deck with an iron anchor to exercise his strength, and the second mate Bibab is a mysterious fellow, who has been guarding their cattle and sheep food and rum in the cabin, and sometimes checking ammunition.

Sailor Andler leaned on a cable to play bagpipes, while the other pirates either drank rum and chatted or gambled.

When you're bored, you always have some fun.

Pirates loved to play dice, they put them in wooden cups, and a few people shook them to guess how many points each of them was, in short, it was a matter of luck and some means.

Buck's luck was obviously not good, and he obviously couldn't laugh at this time.

The captain of the voyage had given everyone two barrels of rum, and it had only been a few hours since the voyage, and Buck had already lost one and a half barrels.

"How am I going to get through the rest of my life?"

Buck knew that with only half a barrel of rum, his life would be a torment, because he was an alcoholic, and two barrels were not enough, let alone half a barrel.

"Come again!"

Buck said viciously, looking like a gambler who gambled his life, when in fact, rum was indeed his life.

"Hey, Buck, don't you really want to keep a little for yourself? You've only got half a barrel left!"

A pirate laughs, he just won half a barrel from Buck, and he plans to treat himself to a moment and drink a pot in one gulp, and it's fun to think about it!

"I..."

Buck's heart shrank, if he lost again, I was afraid that this voyage would be his nightmare, these guys are heavy drinkers, and they may be generous enough to invite you to a drink in the bar, but when they sail, no one can get a drop of rum from their glasses.

Neither could the great Captain Zack.

Of course, the great Captain Zach didn't need to, as he had several barrels of good wine in his captain's room.

Buck stood up, he wasn't going to gamble anymore.

"Great chieftain, oh no, great goddess of despair, I hope that in the near future we can plunder a merchant ship full of rum. ”

Buck muttered, a look of reverence.

"Or the next time I fight, I should rush to the front, kill a few more people, and maybe the generous captain will reward me with a barrel of rum!"

Buck thought as he touched the sword at his waist.

"Buck, hey, big guy, I've got something for you. ”

Andy saw Buck leave the table and hurriedly followed.

"Is that you?" Buck looked at Andy, "what do you want to do with this little monkey?"

Buck's eyes lit up as he spoke, Andy was also part of the ship, which meant that he also had two barrels of rum.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any interest, but I'm interested in your teeth. ”

Andy said.

"Huh, my teeth?"

Buck suddenly understood what was going on, and he smirked, his white teeth even reflecting in the sunlight.

"My teeth look good, don't they?"

"yes, so I want to figure out what's going on. ”

"Of course, my dear Andy!" Buck smiled, turning a little serious, "This is my tribe's secret, you want to get it, you need to exchange it, and promise not to reveal it to anyone else, otherwise, you will be punished." ”

"As you wish, but I want to know what you want to exchange?"

Andy asked, he didn't seem to have anything of value, could it be that he could exchange it for just rum?

"I want your musket. ”

Buck said, pointing to Andy's waist, the musket with the shiny barrel.

"It's a shame, this is what my sister gave me, I can't trade it for anything. ”

Andy looked at Buck's greedy glance at him and added, "And this sword too." ”

"And this hat. ”

"By the way, there's this bandana. ”

"I'm sorry, but neither can the boots. ”

Buck glared at Andy as he finally finished, "And what do you have to exchange? It's my tribe's secret." ”

"I've got rum, Big Buck, and if you will, I've heard you've only got half a barrel of rum left. ”

Perhaps it was Andy's delusion, and he noticed that Buck's already dark face was getting darker, and Buck spun around a few times, not knowing what he was muttering, and finally said, "Okay, it's cheap, but I want two barrels of rum!"

"Oh, you're greedy, and even though I'm small, I'm going to drink rum too, so I'll only give you a barrel. ”

Andy shook his head and said seriously.

"Huh, only a bucket, are you kidding me?"

Buck laughed, he didn't want to pay attention to Andy anymore, how could his secret be just a barrel of rum?

"Alas, alas, yesterday I heard from the captain that this voyage would last a few months, and that perhaps some fellow would have to hold his empty barrel for months to come, and only take a small sip of rum at a time, oh, what a hellish life. ”

Buck stopped, took a deep breath, and turned around.

"Well, you've won! You damn scumbag! You're a pirate!"

"My pleasure, sir. ”

Andy smiled, this big black guy was really interesting.

"So, tell me your secret. ”

Andy rubbed his hands, he was a little excited, the secret of making teeth white passed down by the mysterious island tribe, ha, it's really interesting.

There are many tribes on the islands who will take the initiative to blacken their teeth, because this is more mysterious, and it is rare for tribes to turn their teeth white.

"It's actually very simple, our tribe has a special way to mix some strange things into a medicine, soak it in seawater, and rinse your mouth with that stuff every morning. ”

"What strange things?"

Andy asked.

"Hey, little thing, you don't really think that a barrel of rum can be exchanged for all the secrets! At the beginning, the boatswain exchanged it with me for a rare gem, but I can provide you with the medicine I made on this voyage in exchange for your rum, and you will give me a gold coin every time you sail in the future, and I will provide you with the medicine next time!"

Andy thought for a moment and smiled, "Okay, give it to me." ”

Andy is confident that once he obtains it, he can analyze the ingredients in it through a special method.

Buck pulled out a piece of white crystal from the pouch next to him, as if it had cured cream, and threw it to Andy.

"That's enough for you, but you'll need gold in the future!After all, materials also cost money, or you can exchange them for your gun, and I'll tell you what the materials are!"

"Don't dream, my gun won't be exchanged for anything. ”

Buck followed Andy across the deck to his cabin.

"My rum, go get it, I can't wait. ”

Buck swallowed and cried out excitedly.

Andy entered the hut and after a while brought out a small wooden barrel filled with rum.

Buck's smile froze on his face.

"You damn liar! Why are your barrels so small?"

"It's a pity that the captain thinks I'm not fit to drink too much, because I have more important things to do, so my cask is only half the size of yours. ”

Buck opened his mouth, he also knew that it was useless to say anything at this point, he had been deceived by this little ghost.

"If you don't give me another barrel of rum, I'll throw you overboard!

"I advise you not to do it. Roger's voice came, and he looked at Buck as if he were watching his prey, "Otherwise, I think the captain will hang you on the mast and dry you, and let the seagulls and crows eat your carcass, trust me, Buck." ”

Buck seemed to think of that scene, shivered, picked up the pocket oak barrel, and returned to the cabin in anger.
