Chapter 427 The Black Pearl
After a while, Danitz closed his mouth, raised his scorched eyebrows, and the big pirate with a bounty of three thousand pounds said angrily, "This joke is not funny at all."
Then he angrily returned to the cabin, as if he had been teased by Sifa.
Sifa touched his nose without explaining.
He returned to his room and prepared his things for the night, including money and items.
At this time, he saw the pressure bottle on the side, so he took two with him.
After dinner, Xifa came to gather on the deck. Along the way, Danitz was quite curious about the pressure bottle on his belt, but held back.
Seeing that the captain hadn't come yet, Xifa said, "If you want to ask anything, just say it."
Danitz looked to the other side of the ship: "I don't have anything to ask, I just think you're really weird, you're going to a pirate party, what are you doing with your wine?"
"It's not a wine bottle."
"It could be considered a weapon."
Sifer picked up a cloak and put it on his body, covering the pressure bottle tied to his belt.
When Danitz wanted to ask what kind of weapon it was, Edwina and Jodsen came. Today Jodsen was wearing a formal suit, a half-height silk top hat, and a floral bow tie. He looked as if he was going to Gentleman at the party.
Danis cut his voice and said, "He thought he was going, this canned wolffish, and he knew to seize the opportunity to perform. Didn't he realize that the captain didn't even look at him?"
Edwina came over, her clear eyes swept over Danitz: "What are you talking about?"
The fourth bosun waved his hands in panic: "It's nothing, captain."
Lieutenant General Bingshan didn't ask any questions, and made a gesture. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Jodsen handed two identical iron black masks to Xifa and Danitz: "Remember to wear them when you attend the party."
Danitz took it and said angrily, "I know, I don't need you to teach me."
Jodsen smiled, followed his eyes to the distance, and said softly: "Mermaid Bay is here."
Xifa looked in the direction where his eyes fell, and saw an island appearing on the sea in the distance under the crimson moonlight. A large ship was moored near the island, and the flames were shining on it.
"That's where the parties are held."
Edwina pointed to the ship on the sea and said: "That ship is the 'Black Pearl', which is said to be owned by one of the captains of 'King of the Five Seas' Nast, it often holds pirate parties in 'Mermaid Bay' , there must be once in two months."
"So, this place has become a good place to sell dirty goods at sea, trade, and inquire about news."
At this time, the 'Golden Dream' stopped, it was in the shadow of an island cliff, and did not move forward.
The pirates lowered a small boat, Sipha and the others landed on board, and they rowed to Mermaid Bay.
When the 'Black Pearl' was clearly visible, Xifa saw, under the crimson moonlight, small boats rowed one after another from all directions.
The people on the boat basically wore all kinds of masks and costumes, making it difficult to tell who was a pirate and who was an adventurer.
When you come near the 'Black Pearl', you can see that there are suspension rings hanging from the upper deck around the big ship, so that people who come to the party can fasten the small boats to the suspension rings so that they will not be washed by the sea. Walk.
Before boarding the deck, the pirates' singing, roaring, laughing, cursing and cheering could already be heard from above, these sounds one after another, as if a carnival was being held there.
Sifa followed Edwina up the gangway, and before entering the deck, he saw an old pirate with a boat cap, gray hair, and a stick under his right knee, collecting money.
It turns out that to participate in the party, you need to collect 'tickets'!
Jodsen took out four Loen gold coins and put them in the hands of the old pirate one by one. The old pirate picked up one of them and bit his mouth, then nodded and said: "Go."
When I got on the deck, I saw that many pirates had come here. They were in groups of three or four, or they were holding beer, or they were catching sausages.
In the middle of the deck sat two pirates with gold coins and jewels piled at their feet.
They took turns holding a revolver and shooting against their temples, but for two consecutive rounds, no bullets were fired from the muzzle.
But in the third round, a bearded pirate growled profusely, pulled the hammer, and squeezed the trigger. There was a 'bang' sound, and a small corner of the pirate's head was blown off by a bullet, and blood sprayed all over the ground immediately.
The pirate on the opposite side happily swept the gold coins and jewels at the feet of the bearded man, grabbed them and threw them into a bag.
Soon, the dead pirate was thrown into the sea, and sailors scrubbed the deck to wash away the blood.
The other pirates didn't take it seriously and continued to drink and have fun as if nothing happened.
Seeing this scene, Xifa realized how civilized the pirates on the "Golden Dream" were.
They walked to a corner of the deck, and not long after, several figures came out of the cabin.
Walking in the front was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was not particularly tall, but his shoulders were broad and he looked very strong. He could punch through rocks with one punch.
He has a square face, black but curly curly hair, a red boat-shaped cap, and a navy uniform of the same color with a large lapel and a black waistcoat inside.
Seeing this person, the pirates on the ship became quiet, and some of them even lowered their heads, as if they didn't dare to look at this person.
"That's the captain of the 'Black Pearl', Jack Gallup."
"His ability to influence the opponent's actions and intentions is fantastic, to make the opponent greedy and irrational."
Edwina looked at the man, and in a low voice, briefly introduced the three of them.
"It's almost time."
The captain of the Black Pearl looked around blankly, raised his hands and said, "Then, let's start the party. But before that, I'd like to remind you as usual."
"I don't care who you are, what your status is, or where you come from. In short, since you come here to participate in the party, you must abide by the rules on the ship."
"If anyone violates the rules, it is tantamount to violating the will of the 'King of the Five Seas', is it clear?"
Without waiting for a reply, Jack nodded to a blond pirate next to him, and then he left the deck and returned to the captain's cabin.
"Let's get started," the blond pirate announced loudly, then stepped aside and found a seat to sit down.
Next, Xifa quietly watched the pirates actively and frequently conducting transactions. There were a wide variety of transactions, from weapons to various prohibited numbers, from extraordinary materials to slaves, allowing Xifa to see the "prosperity" side of the sea.
After a while of trading, a man in a classical black robe with a mysterious appearance raised his hand and said, "I want to sell a weapon, it's called 'Hunter's Dagger', it's a rune weapon, it can kill opponents by passing Draw the other party's blood to heal your own wounds." (Note 1)
"Of course, it's sharp enough to last two years."
"£420, you can get it"
