Chapter 14: The Diary of a Voyage
[January 13, 1506 in the Haiyuan calendar.]
I boarded the Snapper and became a member of the Sun Pirates, and the first thing I did when I "joined" was that everyone was branded with a red sun, the same as the sun pattern on Boss Tiger's chest.
Although Boss Tiger didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood that this was to block the dragon hoof carving on the slave-born companions, including me.
In fact, I know that Tiger Boss was once captured as a slave by the Draconians, and after escaping, he was determined to free all the slaves on the sea......
This is a deep wound in Boss Tiger's heart, and he won't let anyone know about it, and I pretend not to know.
When it comes to resentment towards humans, Boss Tiger surpasses Aaron, but Boss Tiger has seen both Draconians, slave traders, and human slaves, so he restrains this resentment. γ

It's my turn to get a tattoo today, and the burning still feels so strong, but ...... The feeling in my heart is completely different from when I was in Mary Joa!
The dragon hooves carved in the back were replaced by a red sun.
And I tattooed the "Sword of Freedom" flag on the big arm of my left arm - although it was only hung for less than two hours, it was the first pirate group I joined, and it was also the beginning of "freedom".
Groove ...... Hachi actually put a soldering iron on his head? This octopus is a ruthless man! γ

I signed up as a combatant, and although my fighting skills were not good, my physique made me stand out in my combatant test, but unlike other elite combatants, several small leaders looked at me silently.
Obviously, after the previous Kroobi test, Willy still wanted to dig Aaron's corner, but Cloobie was originally Aaron's younger brother and ignored Willy.
Croobi is a cartilaginous fishman with big fins on his forearms, and the fish-man karate is already thirty dans, although I don't know what thirty dans mean, but it seems to be very powerful...... But in terms of absolute power, I'm not bad!
But when you look at me...... They are obviously still a little worried about the "mixed race".
But fortunately, the boss of Jinping found out about the embarrassment here, and decisively said that I had great strength and asked me to be the helmsman under him, and Xiaoba was selected together.
The responsibility of the boss in the regiment is the chief helmsman, or the helmsman chief, although it is not explicitly stated, but everyone regards the boss of Jinping as the first mate.
The second mate is a burly mermaid ship doctor Aladdin, who doesn't talk much, and then ...... It's Aaron, Willy, and Marcorow, Willy is a big man comparable to the boss of Jinping, a tiger shark man, a hammerman, and Aaron don't deal with it, and the two of them fought for the position of boatswain at the beginning, and finally were scolded by the boss of Jinping.
Now Willy is in charge of deck operations, Aaron is in charge of underwater operations, Willy is more popular among the older fishmen, and Aaron is the eldest brother of the younger generation of fishmen.
MarcolΓ²'s sense of existence is much worse than that of Willy and Aaron, and I don't have any impression of him from the original, after all, I saw the part of "two years later" very roughly.
Because Marcolo is a wide-throated fish man, the width of his chin can be imagined, and his appearance is indescribable, with earthy yellow skin, a hairstyle like a mop strip, and his arms like hammers, which may be the reason for his hanging eyes, he usually looks a little lazy, and he is estimated to have been taught by Willy before, and he did not dare to fight with Willy, nor did he dare to offend the new generation of Aaron, and he fell into the responsibility of protecting ordinary crews, and he was also a small leader. γ

Today, together with Xiaohachi, I am at the helm of Jinping Old University, perhaps because of the "Sailor" and "Angry People" series of pathways, and my talent in this area is very good.
Ordinary helmsmen may just listen to the conductor's rudder, but Boss Jinping has no intention of hiding his selfishness, and he teaches me and Xiaoba all the knowledge of judging the wind direction and grasping the water flow.
Hachi, who is branded with the sun on his head, is actually very talented, probably this is the talent of the fishman......
If I can reach Sequence 7, "Voyager" after "Angry People", I should be able to elevate "Very Good" to the level of "Nami". γ

On the fifth day of sailing from Fish-Man Island, we came to our first target island.
Because of the secret care of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, when I went to sea, I brought several "permanent pointers" pointing to different islands in the first half of the Great Passage, although the Dragon Palace Kingdom was relatively closed, but after all, there were often pirates passing by, and there was still a family background for this.
The Sun Pirates are not interested in the "Great Secret Treasure" and "One Piece", and they go to sea to escape for their lives and rescue slaves everywhere!
However, the captain (crossed out) Tiger didn't let us land on the island, because at the port dock, we saw a tall gallows with several dried corpses hanging from them, as well as some tattered pirate flags.
It had been heard of in Mary Joy's time that this situation was supposed to be the corpse of a pirate, symbolizing that pirates were extremely unwelcoming on the island, and that the entry of the skull flag meant war.
There is also an empty gallows, which symbolizes that the island welcomes pirates, and there are facilities dedicated to serving pirates, as long as there is money, a large amount of supplies can be provided.
Of course, both of these situations, which are rare in the first half of the Great Passage, mean that the island has a strong combat force, otherwise the former would have been wiped out by angry pirates, and the latter would have been ransacked by greedy pirates......
The most common thing is that they don't set up gallows in the port, that is, they go with the flow and only do limited defense, hoping that the pirate masters will not make a big deal.
Aaron and they were a little unhappy and wanted to make a big deal, but of course Boss Tiger was not shocked, so he didn't dare to go to the island, but he saw the corpses of pirates hanging on Sindra Island, and understood that this island should be very peaceful.
It's good, Tiger doesn't want to bother them. γ

On the seventh day of going to sea, we encountered the first wave of naval encirclement and suppression that we could not escape......]
β¦β¦
"To the southeast, there is a naval fleet!" Talisgaard shouted as he stood in the lookout on the mast, shaking the big bell above.
Thalesgaard looked like he was holding the telescope tube with his hand, but in fact they were his eyes, and Talisgaard was a fish-man who was good at looking into the distance.
"One, two, three...... It is a standard fleet of six warships. Talisgaard confirmed.
It was supposed to be one armored main ship, five sailing frigates.
At this time, Jinping will arch the rudder of the zig and take the helm himself, sometimes closing his eyes, feeling the current, sometimes looking at the sails.
"There is also a naval fleet in the northwest, and it is also a standard fleet!" Talisgaard shouted again.
"Jinping." Tiger looked over at this point.
"The navy is a premeditated flanking attack, which is not good for us, and we can only escape by diving." Jinping spoke his judgment.
The snapper has many functions, and it can even dive - all the fish people, diving is relatively simple, and there is no need to consider the problem of water separation, but if you dive, it will cause great damage to the hull, and the materials including gunpowder will also be damp, after all, the sea bream only has a little "Yang Tree Eve" material, unlike Roger's boat, which is made of "Treasure Tree Adam".
"Tiger Boss! Let's go! β
"Bastard Human...... Ahem, I mean bastard navy, really thought we were scared of him? β
"Kill the navy and rob the warship!"
Aaron and the others asked for battle.
Seeing this, Tiger turned grim and said, "Prepare to fight!" β
He had escaped the navy twice before, but it wasn't because he couldn't fight, but Tiger didn't want to fight meaninglessly, and if he was a slave catcher, he would take the initiative to fight.
But since you can't get rid of it, and you still deliberately close the circle, you can only give the navy some colors to see......
