Kerby, who has short pink hair and wears round-framed glasses, is the most literate person in the Arrita Pirates, but also the weakest.

He was forced to huddle in the dark, damp cabin with the stinking pirates on this stormy night, telling them stories to bored ones.

Kirby rubbed his glasses with trembling lips and said:

"Once upon a time, there was a fish-man named Vander Dyken who accidentally acquired a ship called the Flying Dutchman, which is said to have the power of the legendary 'Hades of the Deep' and can make the owner dominate."

"It was only that force that drove Vander Dyken mad, and he killed many of his crew and threw them to the bottom of the sea to sacrifice, which temporarily suppressed the spiritual influence of the Flying Dutchman on him."

Since then, Vander Dyken has used the Flying Dutchman to conquer and conquer the underwater world. Later, with his greedy gaze, he looked at the long-coveted land. ”

"However, Vander Dyken, who possessed the Flying Dutchman but was unable to exert all the power of the 'Hades of the Deep', could not withstand the attacks of the World Government, the Navy, and the pirates, and he was soon defeated in the landing battle and forced to retreat to the bottom of the sea."

"Van der Dyken could not defeat the humans, so he passed on the hope to the next generation, from generation to generation, and now to Van der Dyken IX, who still retains the Flying Dutchman, hibernating at the bottom of the sea, waiting for the best time to seize land."

"And every generation of van der Dyken is full of hatred for humans at sea, and they will stab every ship, drag the humans who fall into the sea, to the bottom of the sea, and drown them alive! It is said that the bottom of the great channel is covered with the bones of those who drowned in them! ”

That's where Kirby's story goes.

When a pirate with five big and three thick pirates heard this, he was very disapproving, laughed, and said:

"Just that lowly race? They're just caged goods, and we once sold a fish-man. It's a pity that it's not a mermaid, and the price of a mermaid is many times more expensive. ”

The other pirates who knew about it also laughed, apparently not taking Vander Dyken and the Flying Dutchman in their eyes, let alone the "Hades of the Deep".

"That's it!" Another pirate with a big back and tattoos on his arms shouted, "Let him and his Flying Dutchman come here!" Watch how our Yarrita Pirates teach them a lesson! ”

After telling the story, Kirby just touched the back of his head, squeezed out a frightened smile, and cooperated with the cheerful ridicule of the pirates, not daring to put forward his own ideas.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps on the deck, which attracted everyone's attention, and then one of the pirates poked his head down from above and shouted to the people:

"There is a situation, a ship has been found ahead! Fast! They're all up to work! ”

The pirates were all taken aback, put down their bottles, and stood up drunkenly, staring at the sentry pirates.

One of the pirates asked, "Is it the navy?" The 'Axeman Monka' of the Navy Branch? Or 'Colonel Mouse'? ”

The sentry shook his head and replied:

"Neither! But it's not a merchant ship or a passenger ship either. There was no flag on the mast, and the hull was in tatters, like a wreck that had just been fished up from the bottom of the sea, and it was heading straight for us. ”

"Phew!" The five big and three thick pirates immediately climbed up the wooden ladder with a vicious expression, "No matter what kind of ship it is, if it dares to approach us so arrogantly, it will cut off a few pieces of meat!" ”

The greedy pirates, all instigated by his words, climbed onto the deck one by one, and some of the pirates hurried to report to the captain.

Kirby cowered in the corner, trembling, and didn't want to move, but was seen by a sharp-eyed pirate, who shouted:

"Coward! You're hiding in the cabin as a turtle again? Don't forget, if you hadn't had a little seafaring talent and literacy, Captain Arrita would have thrown you to the bottom of the sea! ”

Kirby had no choice but to tremble, and also climbed up the wooden ladder to the deck.

At this time, the pirates on the deck were quite busy, running around, and one of the pirates almost fell.

Some of them picked up their knives, guns and clubs, some went to check if the cannons could be fired in the rainstorm, and some were ready to hook the battered ship with the hooks at the top of the ropes.

Kerby was drenched in the pouring rain and put his hand in front of his forehead, barely able to see the scene in front of him.

He saw that Captain Arrita's body, which was as fat as a black bear, had appeared in the bow of the ship, and his pupils shrank and froze in place.

This female pirate is the shadow he fears the most.

Ever since he strayed into the Yarrita Pirates' boat a few years ago, he was taken to their pirate ship, and became a navigator under the threat of the pirates.

He was forced to spread out the charts to show the pirates the way in the East China Sea, determining which route would be the easiest way to get more money and escape the navy.

And Captain Yarrita was always very dissatisfied with him, and beat and scolded.

He had learned the power of Captain Arrita's mace many times, and several times he thought that he would definitely die with bruises, but he didn't expect to survive to this day.

This causes Kirby to subconsciously shrink back as soon as he sees Yarrita, wanting to be an invisible person.

However, Arrita saw him, put the mace in her hand on her shoulder, and shouted in a thick voice:

"Kirby—"

Her voice was loud enough to pierce the rain.

It was impossible for Kirby to pretend not to hear, so he had to answer, and hurriedly ran over, and then stood in front of her with his thin body hunched, squeezing out a flattering smile, rubbing his palms together.

Arlita looked the shivering, soaked little chick up and down, looked down on him more and more, and just asked:

"Kirby, what's the most beautiful thing in the sea?"

Kirby touched the back of his head, looked at Yarrita's pockmarked and fat pig-like body, and forced a smile against his will:

"Miss Arrita, of course! Hehe, hehe......"

Unsurprisingly, Arrita smiled with satisfaction and said:

"That's right! I am so beautiful, everything on this sea should belong to me! Including the ship in front of you! ”

She turned again, brandished her mace, and shouted to the pirates:

"Get the boat over! Grab me all the belongings and food on the ship, and kill all those who dare to resist! ”

The pirates should cheer in unison for the upcoming heist feast!

The pirate ship got closer and closer to the tattered ship, as if it could smell the rotten smell of its hull.

In the darkness of the night, the pirates seemed to faintly see a tall figure on the bow of the ship, fluttering.

In the midst of the storm, a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky, instantly illuminating the bow of the broken ship, and allowing the pirates to see the true face of the figure.

But this look made the pirates change color in shock!

The one standing at the bow of the ship is clearly not a person!

The scriggling tentacles under the octopus's head, the cold gray-blue eyes, the three-cornered hat, robe, and boots stained with dense barnacles, no matter how you look at it, they are not human!

The thunder flashed, and the bow of the wrecked ship sank into darkness once more, and only the vague outline of the strange man could be seen.

The pirates swallowed.

A pirate trembled and asked:

"Just ...... What is that? ”

No one was able to answer him.

Originally, it was strange enough for such a broken ship to suddenly appear in such bad weather, not to mention that there was such a strange person standing in the bow of the ship.

The more the pirates imagined, the more goosebumps arose.

Arlita's eyes narrowed, and she calmly scolded loudly:

"What's there to panic about? That's just a fish-man! ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.

That's right, the octopus head, which is a characteristic of the octopus fishman, one of the many fish-man species!

We're all thinking too much! Or Captain Yarrita, who is well-informed!

The pirates were all relieved, since they knew that the other party was a fishman, it was something that could be killed, and they had sold a batfish fishman before, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Now all they have left is Fox Suspicion, a fish-man, sailing on a broken ship, what is this going to do?

At this time, Kirby suddenly saw something incredible, shook his body, stretched out his finger, pointed to the bow of the broken ship, and said quite frightenedly:

"Ya...... Miss Yarrita......"

Yarrita glared at him rather dissatisfied, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"What's wrong again?"

Kirby said with trembling teeth:

He ...... He's gone...... ...... in an instant It's gone......"

The pirates then looked at the bow of the broken ship again, but they really didn't see the fish-man.

What's going on? He was still there, where has he gone now?

Some pirates thought about it and sneered:

"Kirby, that must be the fish-man who saw us and was so scared that he jumped on the deck, or into the sea!"

When the pirates heard this, they all burst out laughing.

Sure enough, Kirby is still such an incompetent waste, and he scares himself when he sees something.

Yarrita also pursed her lips and smiled:

"If that fish-man dives to the bottom of the sea, we really won't be able to deal with him, and we won't be able to catch up with him...... Forget it, see if there are any mermaids on his boat, or something of value. ”

The pirates all answered in unison, shouting and throwing the rope at the wrecked ship that was close at hand, hooking the side of the ship on that side.

Kirby watched this scene and was terrified.

No, it's not!

He didn't know how to explain to the pirates that although the wrecked ship had fallen into darkness after the thunder, the silhouette of the strange man was still visible, but he couldn't see his face clearly.

He had just seen the figure of the fishman disappear directly from the bow of the ship, and he didn't jump into the broken boat or into the sea at all!

This is absolutely not normal!

In the face of a crisis, the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm made Kirby cold.

That fish-man, who didn't run away, must still be nearby!

But no one wanted to believe him!

The pirates apparently didn't think much of Kirby's words, they had already hooked the side of the broken ship and were about to climb along the rope.

At this moment, a deep voice that made everyone feel like they were falling into an ice cellar sounded behind them.

"What are you looking for on my ship?"

When the pirates heard this sudden sound, they turned their heads in shock, and then they saw the wet octopus fishman standing on their own pirate ship!

Everyone was shocked!

How can it be?!

When did he climb aboard our ship and quietly come behind us?

Kerby watched the nightmare come true and couldn't help but scream.

David Jones teleported, he looked at the ship, and then at the white skull pirate flag on a black background that had been folded up due to the rainstorm, and knew that it was a pirate ship.

He didn't know how many pirates he had dealt with, but he was very familiar with it, and he was about to ask this group of pirates about the information about this sea area, when he heard a "bang" explosion!

A piece of David Jones' head was blown off, revealing a horrible hole.
