Chapter 164: Is No Ship a Captain?
This sudden change made Luca stunned for a moment, you know, although he was not a top student back then, he had no history of cheating and being caught. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He froze for a moment, exerted his usual best spirit of messing around, and asked loudly, "What kind of evidence is this?"
Captain Hooknose Foster sneered: "In the past few days, there have been quite a few people who have seen him run to your ship. Would you like to show everyone the answers to the trials in your pocket?"
The fat man nicknamed the butcher Haken chimed in: "Yes, take it out and take a look!"
Lukka took a deep breath to calm himself down, then shook his head at the hooked nose, "I said Captain Foster, there are two things you need to figure out!"
"First, what is there on me, that is my business, does it have anything to do with you? Do you think it is too far-fetched to take this as evidence if you see any captain who is not pleasing to the eye? Moreover, not only me, but after the trial this morning, several captains went back and copied the question and their own answers as a memento of their participation in the trial, don't you think it is too far-fetched to use this as evidence?"
Haken, the butcher, chimed in with Luca this time: "It's a bit far-fetched. ”
Of course, Lukka didn't see anyone go back to correct the answers, but in the exams he had taken before, many candidates had this habit, so they would fool around first.
"Second, is this a crew member on your ship? This is Tata Island, and I, a newcomer, should inquire about the rules here when I go ashore, and I have not heard of any captain who can do anything to other captains on the street." If you do what you do, if any captain in this house offends you, should you be careful when you walk out of this gate?"
The crowd was a little restless at this time, there were no laws on Tata Island, only an unwritten rule: grievances at sea were not allowed to be brought ashore.
Even if Edward Hugh issued a bounty order to Luca back then, it was only at sea that he could do it, and if Luca could enter the port safely, even if he was a pirate lord back then, it would be impossible to do anything openly. Of course, it's hard to say secretly, and those potential contenders are examples.
This hook-nosed Foster, who had been under Edward Hugh in the first place, did most of the things he secretly threw people into the sea, but in the past, someone would put the finishing touches on him, and he would not put those things in front of everyone.
Now that Edward Hugh's forces were running out, Foster, who was still a strong gunner, certainly wanted to go further, but he was used to doing things before, and he forgot that no one was helping him cover it up now.
Foster blushed, pointed at Gray and yelled, "What kind of captain is this man?
Lukka was even more energetic now: "Isn't he a captain if he doesn't have a boat? Captain Marlowe doesn't have a boat, why don't you see you doing something to his old man?"
Not only Marlowe, but also the faces of the members of the Senate next to him were gloomy.
Foster wanted to find something to explain, but Lukka wouldn't let him say any more: "I still suspect that your perfect score is not right!"
He turned to Haken and said, "Captain Butcher, why don't you test him on the question?"
"Ah, am I?" Haken was nodding his head, and suddenly Luca was called by his name, looking a little confused, "Okay, what do I want to think of......?"
Marlowe, an old pirate who had been watching the play on the side, finally couldn't help but say loudly: "Okay, that's enough!"
"Captain Marlowe, where is this enough?" Lukka said with a smile, "They're still tied up!"
"You don't need to say that," said Marlowe, turning to Hooknose, "Captain Foster, I think you'd better let them go first." You don't have enough evidence that Captain Sparrow cheated, but everyone saw what you did to the other captains, and I can't take sides. Now there is no lord, no one can punish you, and if you are wronged, go back to your ship for a few days, and then deal with it when the new lord is decided. ”
In fact, he had already left a lot of affection and didn't put Foster directly in the dungeon.
Captain Hooknose angrily let Gray go, and returned to his ship under the supervision of the Senate.
Despite this toss, the pirates present did not show much concern. After all, this is a pirate stronghold, and everyone is not a good baby who abides by the law, so making such a fuss is just like watching a show.
Back on the Peregrine Falcon, as soon as the door to the captain's cabin was closed, Lukka called Gray over and asked, "Were you too careless? How did you get caught by that guy? I don't care if they threw you into the sea or hit you on the Poseidon Stone, at least you have to tell me the next two trials first, right?"
"Captain, your plan to cross the river and tear down the bridge is too obvious. Gray rubbed the bag on his forehead, and although his life was not in danger, he still suffered a little.
"How the hell did they get caught?" Kate was a little concerned about the exact process of this incident, and she was the only one in this boat who was incapable of protecting herself.
Gray laughed twice: "Actually, I was caught by them on purpose. ”
"Are you sick in the head?" Shut up and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, he's not sick!" Lukka had agreed with the parrot only a handful of times.
"Of course I have a reason!Uh, can you give me a glass of ale? They didn't even give me water, I've been thirsty all day!" said Gray, unceremoniously pulling over a chair and sitting down.
Lucasse gave him a large jug of water: "Let's make it clear first, otherwise there will be only water, no wine." ”
"Okay. Gray gulped down half of the pot of water, wiped his mouth, and said, "When I went to copy the test questions that day, I ran into another group of people, and it was the same purpose. ”
"Is that the guy with hooked nose?" Lukka asked, too much to guess.
Gray nodded: "That's right, we met at the time, but we were all going to steal things, and after each of them succeeded, they dispersed, and no one said anything." ”
"Then why did they bother you today?" Kate asked in more detail than Luca.
"It's me who is making trouble with them, those guys are so easy to deceive, just provoke a few words, and they will treat me as evidence, and tie me up to the trial hall to confront you. ”
"No, what's in it for you?" Lukka still didn't understand Gray's thoughts.
"Foster's simple-minded guy used to be arrogant with Edward Hugh before, plus I fanned the flames for him, and I didn't think that it was taboo to do anything to other captains, you see, now is not the best result, the biggest competitor, this is solved. Gray said triumphantly.
"Is he a competitor?" Lukka thought back, not at all thinking that hooked nose could pose any threat.
"Of course, his ......"
Gray was just halfway through his words, when he suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Wait!"
"In other words, among you idiot pirates, only that illiterate fat man has a perfect score?!" asked Parrot, tilting his head.
