"Miss, you're still too kind, alas."

"Although the treasure was not found, it is not good to save two people who are stranded on an isolated island."

On a small merchant ship, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler was talking to a young lady who thought he was beautiful.

They didn't pass through here on their original route, but they accidentally learned that there was a hidden island with treasure buried on it.

Nautical charts are like a child's graffiti.

A lot of people got it, but most of them scoffed at it, thinking it was a prank.

After all, this kind of thing happens endlessly above the sea.

How to distinguish the authenticity of a treasure map is also a great science.

Obviously, there is a high probability that this kind of mass circulation of charts is fake.

However, Miss Hannah, who was going to sea for the first time, was very interested and decided to go over and have a look.

Whether it's true or not, it can be regarded as a childhood dream of her to go to sea for exploration.

What's more, if it's true, she can use this treasure to survive the crisis of her own chamber of commerce.

For such reasons, the butler could only reluctantly agree.

The rest of the matter is very simple, wasting time and energy in vain, going to the island to look around, and there is nothing.

Instead, they met two brothers and sisters who were shipwrecked on the island.

Out of kindness, Miss Hannah took the man aboard the boat despite the housekeeper's dissuasion.

Compared with the innocence of his own young lady, it is obvious that the well-informed housekeeper has sensed that something is wrong.

After all, this is too much of a coincidence.

And looking at the brother and sister, they don't look like ordinary people, they are still so good when they are shipwrecked?

Even the clothes on his body are only slightly tattered and dirty, which is very strange.

It's like yes. Deliberately made the same.

This is also the reason why he stopped his young lady from saving people in the first place.

However, after getting on the ship, he saw that the two of them stayed in the cabin honestly, without causing them any trouble, and he gradually put his mind down.

"Maybe it's just that I'm overthinking."

"I hope that this time the business can also go back smoothly and safely."

I don't know if the FLAG set by the housekeeper was fulfilled so quickly, or if Murphy's law was triggered, and I was afraid of something.

After less than half a day's travel, a ship of unknown origin appeared on the sea not far away, and when it spotted them, it immediately sped up and headed towards them.

"It's not good, turn around, go full speed ahead, and get rid of each other!"

The captain of this ship is also an old sailor, and when he sees the other party menacing, he knows that it is a bad dish.

Nine times out of ten, the other party is a pirate roaming around this area.

I usually don't hang flags in order not to startle snakes.

It was also to avoid the pursuit of the navy.

And once you find a prey worth taking, you will immediately bite it quickly, revealing its fierce fangs!

The captain immediately communicated his opinion to the butler.

The housekeeper was also anxious at this time, and he didn't know what to do.

Because it's not usually him who is responsible for this kind of thing.

But now that the boss is seriously ill, many competitors are waiting for them to fall.

In desperation, Miss Hannah, who is still the boss's daughter, stepped forward.

As a last resort, the housekeeper who can't rest assured can only follow to the sea.

That's why there is a runner this time.

Unexpectedly, the first half of the journey was quite smooth, but then suddenly encountered danger.

What to do?

"With our speed, can we get rid of each other?"

The captain wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and shook his head, "I'm afraid it can't, our ship is full of goods, and the speed itself is not fast." The other party's ship still looks specially refitted, and it is much faster than us. ”

"Can you send them away with money?"

"Don't! At this time, the more you show your wealth, the more dangerous it is! ”

The captain hurriedly stopped.

"So what do you say? We can't escape, we can't spend money to eliminate the disaster, can we just watch them catch up and loot us? ”

"Now it seems that the only way to stop and try to negotiate with the other side is to stop."

The captain sighed and said, "If I run away any longer, I'm afraid I'll anger the other party even more." ”

"And that's not the worst of it, if the other party is just for money, maybe we can save a life."

"If we run into that kind of vicious pirate, I'm afraid none of us will survive."

"So wait a minute, you must let the young lady hide it, and don't come out no matter what happens, lest the other party suddenly become interested."

The butler also knew that what the captain said was true, so he took advantage of this time to immediately run to settle the young lady.

If the goods are gone, you can find another way, if the young lady is insulted to death by these pirates, it will be despair.

Because the merchant ship stopped, the nameless ship quickly caught up.

And at this time, they didn't pretend anymore, and the fierce pirates stood on the deck with weapons in their hands and looked at the little fat sheep in front of them with a cruel smile.

After completing the portion, a one-legged pirate with a cane in his hand limped down to the merchant ship.

With a wooden stick stuck in the broken leg, it made a clattering sound on the deck, putting a lot of pressure on the sailors on board.

"Introduce myself, I'm the captain of the Devil's Foot Pirates, and these people are my crew."

"And from now on, all of you are my captives, and everything on the ship is mine, do you understand?"

Seeing that no one dared to look at him and speak, Captain Ghostfoot was very satisfied with his deterrent power.

Then he continued: "Of course, for the sake of the fact that you did not continue to run away and resist to the end. ”

"When you get to the nearby uninhabited island, I can let you go, which can be regarded as giving you a way out, after all, what I like most is to convince people with virtue, and I hate fighting and killing the most."

"But there is a premise that you will also cooperate with our work in the future."

"If anyone dares to resist, not only will the person who resists die, but I will also randomly choose two people among you to be buried together."

"So for the sake of their own personal safety, I also hope to be optimistic about the people around me, and persuade those fools who have bad brains, don't harm others and yourself when the time comes, hahahaha!"

Captain Ghostfoot was so pleased with his speech that he began to laugh out loud.

The rest of his men naturally laughed as well.

On the contrary, the sailors on the merchant ship were all ugly, but they could not have the idea of resisting at all.

After all, if you don't do anything, you may live.

If you do, you will die.

It's a loss-making deal that no one wants to make.

Anyway, the cargo on the ship is not theirs, even if they are in a hurry, it will not be their turn.

"Good, it looks like we've come to a consensus."

"So. Who is in charge of this ship? ”
