52. Death

Little Bucky was terrified, and he had heard stories of pirates who had been rescued from shipwrecks and sacked merchant ships. It was a little unbearable to ignore it, so he prepared to go back to the cabin and ask his father and Uncle Norris.

"Hey, little one, let me go up, I've been hungry for days!" The woman put on a weak expression.

"You'll have to wait, I'm going to call my dad up to decide!" Little Bucky yelled at the woman.

"Well, I can't wait that long!" The woman said as she bent down and took out a hook from the boat. The glossy hook spun rapidly as the woman's slender wrist twisted, and then flew out and hooked the railing.

"Ahh Little Bucky screamed to cut the rope with a knife, but the woman climbed onto the railing. Cruel in heart, little Bucky suddenly slashed the woman's finger with a knife, and the woman screamed in pain and turned over on the deck, and at the same time took little Bucky's shoulders and pressed little Bucky to the ground.

Lion Scar roared angrily, which frightened the woman, and took out the flintlock pistol behind her waist and gave Lion Scar a shot. The shot hit Scar's right leg, and it screamed in pain, watching the threatened little Bucky not dare to move, only let out an angry growl.

The hatch above the bridge opened, and Norris helped Arthur, who was still immobile, to the deck. He looked at Little Bucky, who was crushed to the ground, with a calm expression, but Arthur scolded away.

"Damn bitch, get your broken gun off my son's head!"

"That's not going to work!" The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at the two people in front of her, thinking in her heart. She was the mistress of the captain of a small pirate group, and the terrible storm that destroyed the pirate group yesterday, only she got on the lifeboat and survived.

"I have an idea," the pirate pressed Bucky's head, who felt like the cartilage of his ears was about to break. "You can get on my lifeboat, and I'll leave you with enough food."

"Maybe we can live together peacefully, with enough food on board and plenty of fresh water!" Norris spoke, leaning halfway on, hiding his right hand behind Arthur.

"There's no need for a conflict between us, you say, Arthur!"

"I wouldn't mind making a friend if this woman let my son go!"

Arthur pretended to be bold, of course it wasn't true, he couldn't trust a female pirate, as long as he and Norris had the first chance to save little Bucky and give that female pirate a lesson that he will never forget!

"A beautiful woman like me would not dare to be alone in the same boat as two grown men. Get off the boat and give it to me! ”

The situation is at a stalemate, and the female pirate puts her knee against Bucky's back as she draws another gun from her lower back. She's going to put pressure on her, like knocking out the brave little guy's hand and something.

The deck rose and fell with the waves, and the sea breeze blew the curls on the female pirate's forehead, slightly obscuring the female pirate's vision, and at this moment, Norris, who had been half-hiding behind Arthur, made a move.

He threw out three throwing knives at the same time, one at the pirate's right hand with the gun against Bucky's head, one at the pirate's head, and one at the pirate's chest.

Poof! Bang! First, the pirate's right hand was pierced through the flintlock pistol and knocked off, while the pirate dodged the throwing knife that shot her head and fired a shot at the same time.

Arthur endured a sharp pain in his waist and ran towards the female pirate, and the lion Scar was faster than him. It pounced on the female pirate with a single jump, and its sharp teeth directly broke the female pirate's neck!

"Aha! Succeed Norris, you really deserve to be famous for your 100 shots! Arthur picked up Bucky and yelled excitedly, but Bucky's eyes were full of horror.

Arthur turned his head to see that Norris's chest was already bright red.

His back was against the hatch, his chest heaving rapidly, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.

"I missed!" Norris thought. The shaky deck affected his performance, and last night's exertion slowed down the speed at which he could shoot his throwing knives.

"Hold on, Norris, I'll get the bandages!" Arthur broke out in a cold sweat: "Bucky! Take care of your Uncle Norris! Arthur slipped through the hatch and ran to the warehouse.

Bucky ran up to Norris, tears rolling in his eyes. He pressed his hand on Norris's chest, but he couldn't stop the viscous blood from pouring out.

Norris looked up at the blue sky and basked in the sun, but felt that it was not unacceptable, at least he had died on the ship, which had survived a terrible storm under his hands.

"Little Bucky, don't cover it, give me a cigarette!"

"Smoke, where is the smoke?"

"In the right pocket of the underwear"

Little Bucky lit a cigarette for Norris with trembling hands, took a puff, and cursed, "Grass, a mouth full of blood." ”

Norris looked at little Bucky, his razor-sharp eyes out of focus.

"Little Bucky, you like my throwing knives very much, here you go!"

"It's too late to teach you the knife technique, remember one thing, keep your eyes on where you want to shoot, think that you must shoot him, and then keep practicing, keep ......"

It was the first time Bucky Jr. had seen a human die.

The cigarette butt of Norris's mouth was no longer flickering, and the white tobacco slowly rose and dispersed in the sea breeze, gradually disappearing. The sun shone on Norris's bearded face, as serene as a dream.

"Bandages! Bandage! In the scattered warehouse, Arthur tossed things in a mess, sweat rolling down his body.

Lion Scar gnawed at the corpse of the female pirate, and the sound of sharp teeth scraping through the bones creaked,

Bucky stood up and called Scar's name.

Lion Scar turned his head viciously, the hair on its mouth covered in blood, and its mouth grew and let out a low roar, revealing its white teeth.

Bucky looked at the lion that had grown up with him, his hair standing on end, and he felt very strange.

The sun was warm, and the waves were still surging and rattling.

……………………

Arthur was pleasantly surprised to find that despite the lack of sails, the currents carried them to the location of the treasure island. Their ship had been sailing in the direction of the magnetic pointer attached to the treasure map.

They threw the wreckage of the female pirate into the sea. Placed Norris on the female pirate's survival ship, filled the ship with spirits, and buried Norris at sea.

Lion's Scar returns to his usual appearance, but little Bucky no longer dares to sleep against it.

But the good fortune didn't last long...... On the eleventh day of drifting on the sea, I don't know how far away from the island where the treasure is located. The ship ran aground, and the raging waters poured in from the shattered holds.

The two lions, only desperately carrying food and water to the fishing boat tied to the side of the boat, continue their voyage in search of treasure.
