Chapter 236 Black Sail
I remember that the Sequence 8 of the 'Sailor' pathway is 'The People of Rage', and this Quincy's temper is very consistent with this, he is completely a 'rageous old man'. I bet that even if he doesn't know how to act, he can quickly complete this stage of potion digestion. Sifer is completely unaware of being targeted, smiling at Quincy and the boatswain.
Damn aristocrats!
Seeing the smile on Sifa's face, Quincy had the urge to punch the handsome face of the other party, but his rationality did not allow him to do so, although he guessed that if a noble young master screamed like a girl, it would be very painful. It's funny, and it's also very hateful.
At this time, a deep but majestic voice sounded: "You are very energetic, recruit. Why, you think my vision is very bad, so you picked you clowns?"
Xifa and the other recruits couldn't help but look at the speaker. It was a man who came out of the cabin. He wasn't particularly tall, and he looked a little shorter than Quincy. But his physique is very strong, giving people a very stocky feeling.
His shoulders were unusually broad and thick. He was wearing a taraba shirt common in Rorsted Islands, paired with a pair of wide-leg trousers, but he used a pair of leather boots to gather up the trouser legs.
A brown cloth belt was wrapped around his waist, and a dark long-sleeved trench coat was covered, but this long coat was not worn on the body, but was casually draped over his shoulders like a cloak, tied with a silver chain Fastened to the twist buttons on both sides, it prevents the long garment from being blown away by the wind.
His black hair was cut very short, and there was an X-shaped scar on his left cheek. He was holding an unlit cigar in his mouth while he was grasping the stubble that covered his chin with one hand.
The two half-closed eyes were full of light, and they kept sweeping back and forth on Quincy's body.
The bosun immediately put his legs together, stood upright, and said loudly, "Salute!"
"This is the captain of the Breaker, Lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Navy, Ken Angus!"
captain!
Lieutenant Colonel!
Although Xifa and the others did not know how to perform the naval salute, they all stood up straight and straightened their backs to show respect.
The "thief" named "Frank" even shrank his body, lowered his center of gravity slightly, and assumed a high-defense posture, looking at the captain with fear in his eyes.
Waving his hands casually, Ken Angus seemed to be born with a smoky voice, and he said in a thick and vicissitudes of voice: "Don't be too polite, and Roger, I told you, the next step is to get rid of this Bad habits."
"Stop talking about the Royal Navy. From today onwards, I'm just the captain of the Breaker, and you are the bosun, not the lieutenant of the Royal Navy."
Roger shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "Listen to you, Captain."
The captain grabbed his hair, and said to the bosun, "Get my hat."
Then he looked at Quincy: "You seem very dissatisfied, Mr. Quincy."
Quincy said without turning his eyes, "I'm just confused, Captain, this is not what I imagined!"
Ken spread his hands and said: "Then what should it be like in your imagination? Do you want to serve on an iron-clad ship? Don't mention you, I think too, but that iron-clad ship is not something that anyone can go on. No, let alone you."
"However, you are right about one thing. Our team is indeed different from other navies."
"I think you should have known to some extent before you came here that what you are going to join is a special department. Now let me tell you, the department you are joining is called 'Black Sail'!"
"It is a special operations department under the naval system. You can think of it as the 'MI9' at sea."
"It's just that what we're targeting will be those big pirates, those so-called pirate generals, and even those who presume to be kings!"
Black sail?
SI9 at sea?
Xifa narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, it seems that he has joined an incredible department.
Ken tapped Quincy's chest again and again with a thick finger: "If we want to get relevant information at sea, we can't hang around in navy uniforms, and we can't drive advanced hybrid warships. You can’t open your mouth and shut your mouth like an officer, an officer.”
Quincy frowned, but he didn't dare to protest, and he didn't dare to back away. He could only stand there and let the captain poke his chest with his fingers.
"On the contrary, we have to change our original habits, change our original tone, and make ourselves sound like an adventurer at sea, or some unknown pirate."
"That's why I selected you people. I need some people who have nothing to do with the kingdom's army or the navy. Otherwise, why didn't I select you in the original system and recruit you?"
"Now, Mr. Quincy, do you have any questions?"
Quincy's dark face turned a little red, and he shouted with his hands behind his back, "No, sir."
"Very good, but, no doubt, it doesn't mean you can just stay on my boat like this."
Ken turned around, pointed at Xifa and the others, and said, "It's the same with you."
"Of course, this does not include Miss Natalie. We need a 'pharmacist', let alone a 'surgeon'."
Natalie, who was wearing rings all over her hands, gently lifted her skirt and saluted.
The captain raised his voice again and said: "Listen, the notice you received is just to give you a chance to join 'Black Sail', and then you have a test. Only those who pass the test are eligible to stay on my boat."
"If you can't pass, even if you cry and beg me, you have to get out!"
"However, if you pass the test, congratulations, you will then participate in a one-week training camp. After leaving the camp, you will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant in the Kingdom's army system."
"This is the privilege of joining 'Black Sails', and it is also a recognition of your strength. You know, how many years did that guy Roger work before he was promoted from a corporal to the current lieutenant. Believe me, it is far more than you imagined. It's going to be long."
At this time, the boatswain came over with a boat cap, and the captain grabbed it and put it on his head.
"Next, you can move freely, but don't leave the deck. Your luggage can be handed over to the sailors, and they will help you get to your room."
At this time, the sails of the Breaker were lowered side by side. Ken raised his head and glanced at his hat, and then said: "We are about to set off. In the evening, we will arrive at the secret base. There, a test is waiting looking at you."
"If you want to disembark now, I don't care, but if you want to stay, prepare for me!"
After speaking, the captain left with the boatswain, leaving Xifa and the others on the deck. After a while, some sailors came to take away their luggage. In this way, Sifa spent the afternoon on deck.
During this period of time, he communicated more with Edward the Poet and Natalie the Pharmacist. As for Quincy and Franky, the former sat alone with his eyes closed. The latter is missing, do not know where to go.
When the sun appeared on the west side of the sea, Xifa saw an island. The hunter's excellent eyesight allowed him to see a sailboat moored near the island without using tools.
The sails on the boat were all furled, and there was smoke from cooking near the beach, but these were not important.
What is important is that there is a black flag on that ship, on which the pattern of three skulls and two interlaced swords is painted with white paint.
Looks like it's a pirate flag
