Chapter 20: Machubi Island
"You can already see the port of Machubi, and it seems that everything is calm at the moment." Thalesgaard said as he stood on the lookout, holding himself out of his eyes.
"Everything is calm? Is it because the day has not yet come? Willie was puzzled and depressed at the same time, he couldn't wait to fight.
"Do you want to take advantage of the fact that the two-headed wolf's people haven't come yet, let's occupy the port first and ambush it?" Aaron also suggested violently.
Tiger shook his head and said, "No, we can't hide, and there will definitely be two-headed wolf spies in the local area, so don't get close." ”
Aaron and Willy were clearly more concerned about punishing the slave catchers than freeing the slaves—it was humans who were supposed to be freed this time, not their compatriots.
However, Tiger obviously didn't think so, his purpose was to free the slaves, and he didn't want to startle the snakes.
"Boss Tiger, are we just waiting? I mean...... What if those bastards quietly converge and leave? Aaron also wanted to convince Tiger.
If they don't want to startle the snake, they can only watch from afar.
There is still a possibility that ordinary pirates will not be recognized, but the characteristics of the Sun Pirates are too obvious!
In the newspaper delivered by Newsbird last week, everyone saw that the headline was the Mary Joy Incident - but the report was tampered with as "Fish-man villain Tiger ransacked the slave ship that was about to arrive at Mary Joy" in the harbor, and did not tell the truth about Mary Joy's chaos at that time.
The characterization of the Fish-Man Pirates is also a vicious pirate who robs slave ships and loots legitimate caravans.
Tiger, Jinping, Aladdin, Aaron, Willy, the five have bounties, and Marcolo may have been too low-key to be noticed.
However, for the "Sun Pirates" with all the fishmen, there is no reward, and it is just as eye-catching, and even the official name of the "Sun Pirates" is not written, and it has always been a clear "Fishman Pirates".
When Tiger was also struggling when he heard this, Ziggy took the initiative to stand up: "Boss Tiger, I'll go to the island!" ”
Seeing Ziggy, Tiger was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Ziggy meant.
Although he is usually on the boat, in order to better integrate with everyone, Ziggy basically maintains the state of a fishman except when he is asleep, but ...... He can be fully human!
"Hush." Aaron made a disdainful sound.
Apparently he also knew that his plan to encourage Tiger Boss to take the port had failed.
"By the way, and Xiaofei...... That's great! I'll leave it to you. Tiger said, taking a strange looking short gun from his lower back, handing it to Ziggy and saying, "This is a flare gun, you take it, and if you find a slave catcher appearing, or if there is any danger, shoot it into the sky." ”
Ziggy took the gun and nodded heavily.
Tiger also called Ziggy "Xiaofei", but Zigg could feel that Tiger was not as close to him as he appeared to be, and in terms of heartfelt and approval of Zig, Tiger was far inferior to Jinping.
Tiger's attitude towards Ziggy is complex, which stems from the complexity of his attitude towards human beings......
Tiger himself is subconscious, very hateful to humans, but rationally, he understands that he shouldn't think so, no one knows better than him, only the slave catchers and slave owners in humans are worthy of resentment, and many ordinary people are also victims like the fish-people.
It's just that emotionally, Tiger can't convince himself to let go.
The reason why he is so close to Zig is not that he is two-faced, after all, he is the captain of the ship, and it is not Ziggy who is the captain.
Tiger didn't want this kind of hatred to continue to other fish-people, so he has been trying to show closeness to Ziggy who was born in a "half-blood", and he doesn't show any dislike for humans.
Ziggy also understands Tiger's emotions very well, and if Tiger is a Celestial Dragon, Zig will definitely not be able to let go of him.
……
Ziggy bit a flare gun in his mouth and swam all the way from a distance far from the harbor that was only a shadow to see to the secluded shore.
Keep your head above the water to keep the flare gun out of the water, but not slowly.
Because it was already evening, Ziggy landed on the reef beach again, so it didn't attract much attention.
The Snapper had circled Machubi Island from a distance, which was not very large, and the only large settlement was the town where the port was located.
After Ziggy came ashore, he no longer maintained the characteristics of the fish-man, and rushed all the way to the town as a human.
After sneaking into the warehouse behind a clothing store, he chose an inconspicuous outfit, an open-bogged short-sleeved shirt, and replaced his soaked outfit.
After thinking about it for a while, Ziggy didn't leave the money......
Ziggy also had money on him, and in the small money bag on his waist, there were hundreds of Baileys with a face value of 500, which was also the largest coin face value.
These "change" were scavenged from the Navy before, and everyone got together and gave all the coins to Ziggy.
After all, the Sun Pirates don't attack merchant ships, and the navy doesn't bring much money, so there are even fewer coins.
It is estimated that when the black will eat the black stroke, the Sun Pirates will become rich!
Tens of thousands of Baileys are enough, but Ziggy estimates that he is taking the largest number of clothes, and he may not be found if he doesn't put money, and it is normal to count one less piece of clothing, and he may not be suspected of being a thief.
But if someone quietly puts down the money, it will seem bizarre, and it will increase the possibility of being discovered.
And Ziggy's morality is also sinking sharply now, and if there is a reason not to give money, then naturally it is necessary to save a fortune!
After wandering around the town without arousing any suspicions, Ziegy found one of the liveliest taverns.
I asked the bartender what his signature liquor was, and the answer was beer...... Ziggy was slightly disappointed, but he still had a big drink.
There are three most popular liquors on the sea, wine, rum and beer, and wine is undoubtedly the highest-end, but it is also the most expensive and not strong enough, so pirates generally stock up on rum.
Rum is fermented with cane syrup, which is not only cheap, but like wine, it also prevents scurvy and is stronger than wine.
As for the cheapest beer, it is simply more resistant to sachet than fresh water, and has no preventive effect on scurvy......
Of course, for the Sun Pirates, scurvy doesn't need to be considered, everyone's physiological structure is different!
It's just that because of the liquor preferences of the fish-man warriors, coupled with the navy on the "purchase side", when sailing, the official unified reserve of materials is rum, so the sea bream is also full of rum.
Ziggy sipped his beer and blended into the tavern surroundings while quietly observing his surroundings in the hope of getting some useful information......
