Tata Island has always been a place outside the law. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Not so long ago, it was the main stronghold of the Black Sails Group. It stands to reason that with the disappearance of Edward Hugh, the fate of this small island, which is less than five square kilometers, should be not optimistic.

But to this day, neither the June Alliance, which has been on the same page with Black Sails, nor the Brohn Empire, which has secretly dealings with it, have been able to touch it or two.

This is largely thanks to the four towering batteries on the reef on the shore.

Each battery was made of large blocks of granite, and even if a cannonball hit it directly, it would only be a depression at most. At least dozens of large-caliber guns were lined up at the top of each battery, at least half of which were mortars with a range of more than a nautical mile.

Under the cannon at the top, there are also many small windows in the outer wall of the rock, which are called hidden batteries. Behind these openings, a type of artillery known as the "snake cannon" was arranged, a cannon with an extremely long barrel, which far surpassed the ordinary artillery that could be loaded on a ship in terms of accuracy and range.

The four corners of the island are protected by these four batteries, and even if the Imperial fleet attacks on all fronts, it will suffer a lot of losses if it wants to occupy the island. So while the Blacksails logo is gone, and the independent pirates who travel to and from the island are not affected much in terms of survival, food, wine and beauty are still the constant melody of Tata Island.

Rotten Sail is the only town on the island, and no one knows who gave it that name in the first place, but it's apt, and if you want to provoke the island's warships, even if they don't get sunk, they can only hang their tattered sails and flee. On this island, the only external force that can travel safely is Sunset Express.

Of course, Lukka didn't want to fight hard, his purpose was just to get the last source of magic and find a way to repair the Amethyst Staff.

Judging from the magic map, it was sitting safely in the main warehouse in Rotten Sails, and it should have been obtained by Edward Hugh when he was trading with the Brohn Empire. These pirates must not have known the value of the mana source, or they would not have kept it in the treasury for so long.

The Silent Reaper was so conspicuous that it was still parked a hundred and fifty nautical miles away—this time it was a little farther away, mainly because there were always pirates coming and going nearby, most of them without much oil and water, and even Thea didn't bother to do it again after grabbing a few of them.

The Peregrine Falcon was still disguised as the Morning Dew, and the black flag that had just been snatched was hung on the flagpole.

Luca wanted to disembark from the ship in disguise, first go around the island, investigate the terrain on the spot, and then find a tavern to plan well, and then ignore the plan at night to break into the warehouse and grab the source of the magic power.

But as soon as he got off the boat, before he could get out of the trestle, his sleeve was grabbed.

"Oh, this captain, you will definitely become a famous pirate on the side of the famous town!"

The man who spoke was no older than Luca, and he wore a bandana on his head, which was almost standard for pirates, but it was so dirty that he couldn't see the color at all. A few strands of greasy black hair appeared through the gaps in the turban, and there was a lot of black mud on his face, and his clothes were covered with patches of slimy unknown stains.

This one is one of the dirtiest even among pirates who have always been unhygienic.

"Speak well, don't pull and pull!" Lukka took a step back to the side, flicking off his dirty paws.

"Okay, okay, I won't do it!" the other party raised his hands, indicating that he must not move.

"Get out of the way!" said Ollie this time, and Lukka dodged to the side, and she nearly crashed into the man. If this really hits, whether the opposite side will break or break the bones, Ollie will definitely return to the Peregrine Falcon to take a good bath.

"We don't have any money for a beggar!" Thea also walked over, glanced at the man, and added, "Especially such a young and strong beggar with hands and feet!"

The man took two steps back, rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, and said, "Oh, you misunderstood, I'm not a beggar!

"Don't give anything!" Thea had been tricked into by Luka in this kind of thing.

"I don't want anything, I'm not a beggar!" the man said weakly.

"You don't want money, what are you trying to stop us for?" Lukka asked as he walked up to him.

"I want to invest! I want to invest!" is not convincing at all.

"What investment means he's going to give us money, right?" asked Nora in a whisper.

"Two questions," Lukka glanced at the other party, and immediately looked away, feeling that his eyes were going to get dirty after a few more glances, "First, what are you going to invest in?

"It's not convenient to talk here, how about we go to the tavern and talk about it?" The other party's eyes turned a few times, and all over his body, only his eyeballs were still black and white, and there were no smudges.

Lukka didn't intend to talk to him, but Crete leaned into his ear and whispered, "This man is a little weird." ”

"What's weird?" Lukka asked in a low voice.

"This ...... It's hard to describe, but he doesn't feel like the other pirates here anyway. "Crete doesn't always see things that can be explained to others.

Luca thought about it, he couldn't even recognize the road on this island, but the other party looked like he was mixing here, just to inquire about the basic situation here. Anyway, listening to him say a few words, there won't be a piece of meat missing, so it's a big deal to go back to the shower.

"Okay, you come with us. But well, we don't invite you to drink and eat, and you stay away from us. He nodded.

"No problem, but this captain, can we go to the tavern on the west side? I won't be allowed to enter here, they think I'm too dirty. The man rubbed his hands together and said uneasily, and the mud from his hands fell on the planks of the trestle.

"There's even a tavern that doesn't think you're dirty?" even Kate couldn't help but say.

On the docks, there were a few idle pirates sitting on the side of the ship munching tobacco, and when they saw the man leading Lukka and them to the west, one of them spat out a mouthful of spit and pushed his napping companion next to him:

"Look, look, that Gray has finally gotten a bunch of people!"

His companion immediately opened his eyes: "Where, where, where?

Although Lukka didn't have a habit of cleanliness, he also pinched his nose all the way, and followed the pirate named Gray from a distance into the tavern west of Rotten Sails.

Unexpectedly, this tavern that did not refuse to receive Gray was not dirty at all, on the contrary, the overall decoration of the tavern was quite high-grade.
