Donner stood at the bow of the pirate ship, the setting sun falling from the sky and falling on his shoulders, and in front of his eyes, Crescent Island was already in sight.

Half a month at sea, the time is very short, but a lot of things have happened, and a feeling of being separated from the world comes to my heart.

This position has always been where Willie stood, and now Donner is here with his hands on his back, blown by the sea breeze.

The two sailboats arrived at the quay of Crescent Island just as the sun was about to set at sea level.

Hans asked the pirate sailing ship to lower its sails and drop the iron anchor, while the pirates who remained on the island to guard came forward, and when they saw that most of the brothers who had returned were wounded and had an extra ship, they asked with a smile, "Brother Hans, have you grabbed another ship?"

Hans was in a heavy mood and just nodded slightly.

"Why are you unhappy? I just saw Deputy Head Allen's face gloomy and angry. The pirate then asked, "By the way, what about the commander?"

"Dead!"

The pirate was stunned for a moment, and Hans patted him on the shoulder: "Go back and talk about it!"

Now that it was getting late, and the ship's cargo had to wait until tomorrow to move back to the island, the pirates returned to the island in groups of twos and threes, and Donner told Mike to take the captives back and guard them closely, and then walk towards the island.

The news of this trip to sea quickly spread on Crescent Island, but it did not cause any waves, the inhabitants of the island have long been accustomed to such things, in their opinion, which time will the pirate ship go to sea without death?

Hans, Ferdy and the others came to the cave halfway up the mountain, at this time Jasmine was preparing dinner, she saw Hans and the others, her face showed a shallow dimple, and smiled: "Brother Hans, are you back?

Hans and Ferdy looked at each other, and the two of them were silent for a moment, and for a moment the atmosphere in the cave became extremely solemn.

Jasmine stopped what she was doing and looked at Hans strangely, "What's the matter?" ”

"By the way, what about my father?" asked Jasmine, who didn't see Willy, confused. In the past, every time she went to sea, her father would always return home as soon as possible.

"Commander...... He's dead. Hans's voice was extremely heavy.

"Bang!" the wooden plate suddenly slipped from her hand and fell to the ground, and Jasmine froze, startled by the sudden nightmare.

Her voice trembled, "Brother Hans, what did you just say?"

"The head of the regiment is dead!" Hans's eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were extremely red.

Jasmine's hands trembled, she bit her lip, looked at Hans blankly, and forced a smile: "Impossible, Brother Hans, you are really joking? How could my father die? ”

She turned her head to look at Feidi, her voice trembling: "Brother Feidi, you tell me that this is not true, Brother Hans is lying to me." ”

Ferdy squirmed her lips and sighed, "Miss Jasmine, what Hans said is true, Captain He...... It's really dead. ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Jasmine's eyes were blank, and she shouted excitedly, tears flowed out: "You lied to me, you lied to me." ”

"They didn't lie to you, Captain Willy is really dead!" Donner walked into the cave and took a deep breath with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"You're all lying to me!" Jasmine muttered to herself as her eyes were dead grey, not the slightest bit angry, as Hans and Ferdy stood helplessly.

Donner walked over and said softly, "Miss Jasmine, I hope you will accept this sad fact and cry out loud if you want to." ”

"Ah...... Woo woo" Tears of grief immediately flowed from Jasmine's eyes, like a river bursting its banks.

After a long time, seeing that Jasmine's mood was a little more stable, Donner took out a silk scarf and handed it over: "Miss Jasmine, people can't be reborn after death, you should be strong, I believe that Captain Willie doesn't want to see you sad." ”

Jasmine's eyes were red, she took the silk scarf in Donner's hand, wiped the tears from her face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Hans, please tell me, what happened?"

Hans glanced at Donner, who nodded, and then Hans slowly told Jasmine everything that had happened on this trip.

"We brought those captives back and were guarded on the island by our brothers, and Downer said that now you are the head of the regiment and should be handed over to you. ”

"Very good!" Jasmine's voice was as cold as ice, "Tomorrow, I want these murderers of my father to be buried for my father!"

Hearing Jasmine's words, Donner sighed: "Jasmine, the murderer of your father, is dead, and I killed it with my own hands. ”

"Donner, what do you mean, are you going to stop me from getting revenge?" Jasmine looked at Donal, "even if they didn't kill my father with their own hands, but without them, my father wouldn't have died." ”

"Jasmine, you're wrong. Donner said calmly: "It wasn't they who killed your father, it was himself, just because your father was a pirate, and it was this world that killed Captain Willy." ”

"As a pirate, when you kill someone, you should be prepared to be killed. ”

"But that's my father, and I have to avenge my father. Jasmine said coldly.

"And what about the sailors who were killed by your father before? Aren't they other people's fathers, who are they going to seek revenge?" Donner argued, "Looking for you?"

Jasmine was speechless for a moment, and Donner said softly: "The life and death of these people have nothing to do with me, but now I have a word to ask you, Miss Jasmine, are you going to be a pirate for the rest of your life?"

Donner had been thinking about the way forward since Eddard's death, and it wasn't until after Willy's death that he mastered some of the power of Crescent Island.

But his own power is far from enough, he must convince Hans Jasmine and the others to unite them in order to better carry out his plan.

"Haha...... What are we not going to be pirates, are we going to be nobles on the mainland? I'm afraid the kingdom's army won't be able to accommodate us. Jasmine sneered.

"I know that none of you want to be pirates, you have all lived a stable and happy life on the mainland, such as Hans, who was persecuted by the nobles and had to fall into the sea as pirates. ”

"But in the sea, do you have to be a pirate? Is there really no way to live a stable and happy life?" asked Donner.

"There is no savior in this world, and there is no immortal emperor, and if we want to create our own happy life, we need to rely on our own hands. ”

"Crescent Island is small and can't feed many people, but the sea is big, we can find a bigger island and build a fair and just place by ourselves, there are no nobles on the island, no slaves, and no exploitation is allowed. ”

"We rely on ourselves to get our own fruits, so that everyone on the island will not go hungry, and we will never have to be pirates again, killing and looting everywhere. We can build up our own convoy to defend against pirates from the seas. Donner's voice was excited, and he tried to paint a picture of what was in his mind for Jasmine and Hans.

"This ...... Is it really possible?" Jasmine hesitated, she and Hans had never heard anything like this, and they were so incredulous that they were even breathing heavily.

"Yes, you have to trust me. Donner nodded firmly: "But these plans, you still need to use those captives." ”

"They—what are they for?" wondered Jasmine.

"We have very little supplies on Crescent Island, and we are short of food, so we need to loot the goods and take them to Gran Island in exchange for food. ”

"But as you should all know, the things we looted are worth a lot of money, but they are bought at a very low price by those damned merchants on the island of Gran, why is that?"

"Because we can't take the goods to the mainland and sell them to those nobles or merchants, we are bought by these merchants at a low price. ”

"But now I have a way, among those captives on the ship are two nobles and a magician, leaving their lives, we can use them in the future to sell goods directly to the mainland, selling them for a higher price, in exchange for more food and supplies. ”

"But are they willing to help us? They look down on us pirates. Ferdy asked.

"They will!" Downer smiled, "as soon as money hits, bad words come to an abrupt end." ”

"Although they are nobles, they are also merchants, and as long as our goods allow them to earn the same rattling of silver coins on the mainland, I am sure they will not refuse. ”

"And now their lives are in our hands at any time, and they can't refuse. ”

"So...... Donner, if we stop being pirates, what will we take and let them sell? Hans had some doubts.

At this point, they were finally impressed, and Donner relaxed and smiled.

"I'll talk about this later, the most important thing now is Peace Day, the day after tomorrow is coming, I think we should have a solemn Christmas Eve. ”
