Taking a sharp breath of the salty sea breeze, Daniz froze beside him with his hands clutching the hem of his clothes, and slowly turned to look at the door of the living room.

The door that had been open had been shut, and a young blonde lady in a plain gray dress was looking at him with a smile.

It was the woman who made a fuss about "flying fish and wine" last night...... She's actually on the White Onyx? The guy with her must be here too!

Daniz instantly remembered this beautiful face, and thought of the man in the trench coat who wore a black top hat and could transform into his own appearance, and thought of the strange "hunger" that seemed to devour him in one bite......

Wait, I was found out by the substitute punisher, it can't be because that man did something bad because he became me, right?

He realized in an instant.

At this point, I should have jumped out of the window, the White Onyx had not yet gone far, and would soon be able to swim to shore, and even if there was a whole team of substitutes there, I would have the confidence to play hide and seek with them...... Or just swim onto other boats, blend in with the passengers, and go anywhere......

Several thoughts popped up in Daniz's mind, and his hands were raised and lowered, but in the end, the "Flame" calmed the fire in his heart, touched his chest with one hand, leaned slightly, and squeezed out the corner of his mouth with a smile that he thought was the most handsome.

"Good morning, beautiful lady, it's nice to see you again."

At this moment, Daniz was extremely grateful for the etiquette lesson conducted by "Lieutenant Admiral of the Iceberg" Edwina among the crew.

"Really? And what about him? ”

The lady at the door asked softly.

He? Who?

As soon as Daniz raised his head and looked at each other suspiciously, he saw a black flame emerge from between the two of them, and in an instant, a fist-sized flame burst out, and the bright yellow inside gushed out, outlining a slightly emaciated figure.

Gelman Sparrow emerges from the flames.

……

"Why get on board?"

"To the Rorsted Islands, Byam."

"What are you doing there?"

Isn't it because you shit guy pretended to be me and ran around causing me to be chased by the penalizer all night and had to secretly buy a ticket and leave by boat?

"The holiday is over, I'm going to wait for the captain's orders, maybe there will be a new mission."

Looking at Crane with an indifferent expression in front of him, Daniz squeezed out a smile and found a reason that could not be considered wrong, after he sent a telegram to Byam's contact, he was indeed ready to end his vacation early, but being chased away by the punisher was not in his plan.

"Ding—"

Klein quickly tossed a coin to confirm that Daniz wasn't lying, and nodded with a straight face when the other party was caught by the flying coin.

"Don't leave the room except to eat."

He commanded in a low voice.

Why? Why?

Daniz felt like he was about to explode.

Although the lady who was still leaning against the door kept showing a warm smile, the man in front of her always exuded a faint "hunger", arrogant words, and indifferent eyes always reminded Daniz of the encounter last night.

If you can't beat it, you can't beat it......

"Okay."

He sighed helplessly and replied, only thinking that buying a ticket for the White Onyx was the biggest mistake he had made this year.

The only thing he was glad for was that he had booked a first-class room, not a second-class cabin that even the bathroom had to share, and it wasn't so uncomfortable to stay in the room all the time.

Comforting himself in this way, Daniz watched as Klein walked to the door of the parlor, but the young lady paced slowly, and said with a smile:

"A handful of your hair, a tube of blood."

"Huh?"

Daniz first suspected that he had misheard, and only after a moment did he realize what the other party meant.

"In the occult, any part of the body, even a drop of blood or a hair, is an extremely important medium that allows people to track down the location of the body and even directly cast some vicious curse."

He remembered what Edwina, the "teacher" who was a part-time pirate on the whole ship, had said, and a chill suddenly surged through his heart.

There is no doubt that the other party asked for blood and hair in order to track him at all times, and even cast some kind of curse that kills people in the air.

They didn't believe me at all, and still thought that I had other purposes on board, such as using it as an internal response to cooperate with other pirate ships to hijack the White Onyx, or digging a big hole in the bottom of the ship and sinking the passenger ship directly!

Why did I think she was beautiful and her smile warmed my heart?

Shit!

Daniz was furious, and he pulled out the dagger at his waist, clenching the handle tightly, and the back of his hand bulged out with green tendons.

Then, he lifted the wig from his head, carefully cut a handful of blonde hair, and handed it to the lady in front of him.

"Is that enough?" He asked with a forced smile.

————

"Do you believe this 'Blaze' Daniz?"

Walking out of room 312, Angel looked at the dark red blood in the glass bottle in his hand and whispered.

She summoned an invisible thread and wrapped it around the tiny glass bottle, using the power of frost to cause its temperature to plummet and frost its surface, which would preserve the blood for longer and deter Daniz as a hostage.

The divination suggested that he was not lying, and that perhaps he was being chased by the navy or the penalizers in the harbor, so he was ready to run away by boat. But we still have to be careful, I will keep an eye on him at all times. ”

Crane twisted the short blonde hair in his hand and put it in a cigarette case, using which he could keep track of Danitz and spot him when he tried to escape.

It's that he lives next door to us, and it always feels a little inconvenient...... Angel thought a little wistfully, and walked towards the restaurant with Klein, and when he passed by room 305, the door was just opened, and Denton's figure in a child's tuxedo appeared by the door, and behind him was Donna, who was pushing him forward.

Seeing Angel and Crane, the sister and brother showed a happy look at the same time, Donna closed the door with her backhand, stopped in front of Angel, looked at her excitedly and said:

"Sister Angelica, Uncle Sparrow, what was that huge skeleton yesterday?"

After a pause, she added:

"I definitely didn't tell anyone else, well, only Denton knew, and he saw it, but he didn't dare to say it."

The little boy on the side pursed his lips and nodded, his face was also a mixture of curiosity and excitement, it seemed that the two siblings had gotten rid of their fear in communicating with each other last night, and only the desire to explore the White Bone Messenger remained.

"It's just a messenger to help other people from afar deliver letters to Sparrow, uncle."

Seeing that Klein was reluctant to communicate in order to maintain his character, Angel took the initiative to bend down and look at Denton to explain, and couldn't help but laugh when he said "uncle".

"Courier ......," Denton repeated.

"It's the postman, the one who delivers newspapers and bills to my father every day," Donna explained, patting her brother on the head, and then changing her tone, "Can we have such a messenger too?" ”

I've only seen two messengers, and neither of them belongs to me...... Angel almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face, and looked at Klein as if asking for help, who replied with a calm expression and indifferently:

"It's a matter of luck, and maybe you have a chance to meet your own Courier."

These words succeeded in arousing the hope of the siblings, which could be seen in their increasingly bright eyes.

"But why can't Mom and Dad, and Uncle Cleves, see it? There were also quite a few people on deck at that time, and they didn't react at all! ”

Soon, the curious baby Donna asked a new question.

If you give them the cured meat you bought, the whole ship will be in a panic for the giant Bone Messenger......

Angel's mind flashed the correct answer, but she just smiled and replied:

"Only a child with a pure heart can see."

I'm not a kid anymore—Donna muttered, but a big smile clearly bloomed on her face because she was different.

……

A few people came to the exclusive restaurant in the first class, it is not lunch time, but the restaurant still serves a variety of pastries, coffee and juices, and is the most frequent place for passengers in addition to entertainment.

Angel met Captain Erlan here, who looked at Damir Island at the stern of the ship with his coffee, wondering what he was thinking, and waited for Angel to greet him before turning his gaze to this side.

"Good morning, both," he greeted as he held up his coffee cup, "didn't the White Shark guys trouble you last night, did they?" ”

"After leaving the bar, we're back on the White Onyx." Angel replied, immediately reacting to the reason for Erlan's question, "They found you?" ”

"Heh, that guy feels that he has lost face, and he wants to pay double compensation, and I won't drink that pile of inferior wine, let alone his people who stir up trouble first," Elland scoffed at Hamilton's threat, "Anyway, we agreed, I had good luck last night, won more than ten pounds, and gave him an extra two pounds in a tip." ”

Wounding two guards, a bartender, and smashing a rack of even inferior liquor, as long as two pounds in compensation, it seems that the captain's own reputation also has a lot of deterrent effect...... Angel thought about it, smiled and nodded:

"Thank you."

Erlan raised his coffee cup again in response.

"Captain!"

At this moment, a crew member climbed the ladder from the lower deck with a panicked face, and wanted to continue chanting, but seeing that there were many people in the restaurant, he approached Erlan again and whispered something.

Angel vaguely heard the words "pirate ship" and "red skull".

Many passengers who were passing the time in the restaurant also noticed the movement here and came over one after another.

"Don't panic, there's a pirate ship in the distance, and my White Onyx is full of firepower and a well-trained crew, so there's no need to fear them.

"Please leave the dining room in an orderly manner, return to your room, close the window, and wait for the good news. I don't want to wait until I've fought off the pirates and find that no one is injured at the hands of the pirates, but I have fallen and injured several of them. ”

His words to liven up the atmosphere did not elicit any laughter, and the passengers, organized by the crew, quickly left and returned to their respective suites, followed by Angel and Klein back to first class, but instead of going to room 310, they went straight to room 312 next door.

Opening the unlocked door, the two were surprised to see that Daniz "Blaze" did not flee or prepare to resist, but held a small monocular, looking out the window, with undisguised anxiety on his face.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately turned around.

"If I say that this pirate ship has nothing to do with me, will you believe it?"

Seeing Angel take out the glass bottle containing his own blood from his pocket, Daniz squeezed out a smile and said.

Outside the window, a huge pirate ship appeared on the sea level, spewing smoke and quickly approaching the White Onyx.
