Not long after returning to the Peregrine Falcon, Kate suddenly knocked on the door of the captain's quarters. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The moment she opened the door, Luca almost mistook her for Ollie, but she immediately realized that Ollie wouldn't knock on the door, she always used to hit her.

"Captain, there's something I'd like to ask you for!" said Kate, bending slightly, grabbing the hem of her skirt with one hand and resting it on her chest, the standard gesture for a noble lady of the Sunset Islands to salute solemnly.

Luca had hardly met such a polite person since he arrived here, and he quickly said, "Don't be so outside, please tell me something." Alas, you come in first, please be seated. He couldn't help but bring honorifics.

Kate sat down and said, "Captain, I want you to participate in that trial and get control of this island!"

"Why? is this important?" Lukka was thinking about this just now, he was not averse to this island, he just hated troublesome trivialities.

"I know it's not easy, it's a bit too much to ask for after you've rescued me from Silver Fir Island, and I have nothing ......to repay you," said Kate, rising from her chair and saluting again.

"Don't, don't be so polite!" Lukka quickly stopped her, "Tell me why you want this island so much, right?"

"That's right, I've just taken a closer look at the charts around here. You see," said Kate, walking over to her desk and pointing to the charts spread out on it, "the location of this island, about the same distance from the naval bases of the Alliance and the Empire, is exactly a triangle. If both sides want to set off from the last island that can be resupplied and attack here, they will have to bear the risk of being copied back by the other side. ”

"Well, it's no wonder that Tata Island has been able to enjoy itself for so many years. Lukka nodded. Although the alliance and the empire did not go to war, in the current situation of saber rattling, no one would let their defenses be porous.

"Not only that, Captain, you see, the warships departing from Tata Island can easily cover this sea area with the current," Kate's hand pointed to an area north of Tata Island, "a large number of Alliance and Imperial merchant ships will pass through here. ”

"Why don't they avoid it?" asked Luca.

"The islands to the west produce all kinds of hardwoods and spices, while those to the east produce all kinds of metal ores. If the merchant ships of the Empire and the Alliance want to get these goods, they must take this route, otherwise, they will have to pass through the territorial waters of the other side, which is a greater threat than piracy. Kate explained.

"So, much of the pirates' nourishing lives are due to the confrontation between the Alliance and the Empire?" Although his knowledge of the geographical specialties of the Sunset Islands was limited to the few goods he had stolen, Lukka accurately captured the essence of Kate's description.

Kate nodded, "Yes." And pirates are not the only ones who rob merchant ships in these waters. ”

"Could it be that those navies are doing this kind of side hustle?" Lukka asked.

"The regular navy doesn't, but there are some supernumerary members on both sides. They hold official 'privateer permits', rob each other's merchant ships in peacetime, and act together with the navy in the event of war. Kate replied.

"I know that, privateers, legal robbery, right?" Lukka was no stranger to this, the Golden Tooth El, who had retired to open a grocery store, had been a privateer captain before.

"So, you understand how important the location of this island is, especially when you don't know when there will be a war. Kate sat down in her chair again.

"Still, you still haven't said why this island is so important to you. Lukka didn't look up as he spoke, still staring at the chart.

Kate was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect this captain to be so smug that he would notice such a detail. Actually, Luka is just just troublesome, but Kate doesn't know this.

She sorted out her thoughts for a while, and decided to tell the whole story: "That's right, not only Silver Fir Island, but also on other islands annexed by the Brohn Empire, there are not a few people who resist. It's just that their strength is too weak, and most of the rebels are either caught and executed, or forced into exile. If we can control Tata Island, we can absorb these people. ”

"But why don't they go to the June Alliance?" Lukka asked.

Kate frowned, but a chuckle came out of her mouth: "Captain, in fact, in the matter of annexing small countries, how much difference is there between the June Alliance and the Empire? ”

Even if Luka and Taylor are acquaintances, they have to agree with Kate. He thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Then, let's take this island! ”

"Not for me, it's your territory, Captain. I'm just going to be able to help you with some of the tedious specifics. Kate stood up and saluted again. Having been under the nose of the empire for so long, she knew very well how important it was to restrain ambitions that were not commensurate with strength.

Lukka then summoned the rest of the crew to explain the situation, and everyone was in high spirits again: we were going to do something again!

The next morning, Lukka was woken up by the sound of shouts from the pier.

"Captain Sparrow! Captain Jack Sparrow!" the voices outside refused to stop.

"It's a big deal!" The captain didn't hurry to say a word, and he couldn't sleep!" he rubbed his eyes and got up, and looked at the hands on his pocket watch: it was just after seven o'clock.

Then he remembered that "Jack Sparrow" was the pseudonym he had used yesterday.

Casting a camouflage spell on himself, Lukka opened the hatch and walked out. A black-haired pirate was standing on the pier looking this way, hesitating to get on the ship.

"Who are you?" asked Daniel, who was also woken up, as he yawned out of the cabin with an angry face, but he still remembered to bring the opal ring.

The man on the pier was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with neatly trimmed black hair, and although he was dressed as a pirate, his face did not show any signs of most pirates.

"Didn't your captain tell me to come here today? I'm Gray McCian, and I was here yesterday. The other party replied, looking at Daniel in front of him with some hesitation, Daniel was not this appearance yesterday - the disguise effect of the opal ring was completely random.

"Poof-" The pirate on the ship, who was also noisy, was obviously hangover and was pouring the new day's rum into his mouth, when he heard Gray squirt out all the wine directly from the register.

Lukka coincided with the drunken pirate's thoughts, and walked out and said, "I didn't expect you to wash up, but you're quite refreshed." "His disguise is the same as yesterday.

Gray finally saw a familiar face and quickly asked, "Captain Sparrow, have you decided?"
