On the Jim Pirates 'ship, the pirates who had been tied up by the townspeople were locked in the cabin. It was already the second day. Arthur came to the ship after waking up.
"Hey ~~! You guys!" Arthur looked at the group of pirates in front of him and said in a very rude tone,"Who is the one in charge now?”
"Of, of course it's you! We'll listen to you now!" Hearing Arthur's question, a pirate with shifty eyes who was tied to a pillar said," Actually, we've been unhappy with that bastard Jim for a long time. Now that you've helped us get rid of that hateful guy, I'm very grateful. Now that you want us to go east, we definitely won't go west!”
"Stop nagging! I'm asking if there's anyone else besides Jim who can command this ship! Stop talking nonsense!" Hearing the pirate's meaningless words, Arthur immediately interrupted him and said," Do you understand? I need someone who can take me away! Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I am!" The shifty-eyed guy knew what Arthur meant and immediately said," I, I'm Huang Shu, the second mate of this ship. Usually, when the captain, no, Jim is resting, the first mate and I will command. However, there was a big storm a few days ago, and we lost a lot of people, including the navigator and the first mate, so now I'm the only one left.”
"Yellow rat? Tsk, what a fitting name. Alright, let's cut the crap! I need to use this ship to go out to sea now. You guys sail for me!”Arthur mocked the yellow squirrel and told him his purpose.
"Yes, sir! No problem! From now on, you are our captain!”"Hello, Captain!~~~" When the Yellow Rat heard that Arthur needed them to sail the ship, he immediately said that. The pirates around him also climbed up the pole one by one.
"Tsk! Dream on. You want to be my crew? Rest!" Arthur rolled his eyes at their words. "Listen up! You are only my captives! So if you want to live, you'd better listen to me!”"Yes, yes, yes!" "Understood! We'll definitely be obedient!" Before Arthur could finish, another wave of pandering came.
"Shut up! Let me finish!" Arthur shouted, and the surroundings immediately quieted down." You pirates must have treasures!”This was Arthur's goal. In fact, Arthur had thought of it from the beginning. The Pirates would usually kill and rob, so they would definitely have a lot of money in their hands. As long as they had this money, Arthur could build his own ship! When the time came, they could continue sailing. As for the idea of using this pirate ship, Arthur had never thought about it at all. He did not care about using things that others had used.
"Yes, yes, yes! I know! Jim is a miser. He usually only gives a small portion of the treasures he plunders to us, and the rest is hidden by him.”The yellow rat immediately spilled everything out. Since Jim was already dead, he would do his best to survive. "Jim hid the treasures on an island. I know this place. I can take you there!”
"Mm, very good. It seems that you are really useful! Alright then, you can go pack up on the ship now!”Arthur untied the pirates and said to them," But you better behave yourselves! Otherwise, hmph!" Arthur swung his palm at a pirate sword in the cabin, and the sword broke. The pirates were sweating profusely as they watched, and all of them hurriedly cried out that they did not dare to.
Seeing that the pirates had been dealt with, Arthur turned around and walked out. When they reached the shore, the people in the town had already come to the port to send Arthur off. At this time, Lan Ang walked up to Arthur and said," Mr. Arthur, I didn't expect you to leave so soon. We all hope that you can stay for a few more days so that we can thank you more.”
"Mm, no need. I've already stayed on this island for many days. It's time to leave.”Arthur replied. "That's a pity, but if you need anything from us, please let us know ~!”When Lan Ang heard that Arthur had made up his mind, he did not try to persuade him to stay. However, he immediately said that he would tell Arthur if he had any difficulties.
"Oh, if you put it that way, I do have something very important to do.”After thinking for a while, Arthur suddenly thought of something and said to Lan Ang.
"Okay, please say it. As long as it's within our means, we'll definitely do our best!”
"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask you for a sea map. After all, I've just gone out to sea not long ago. I'm still very unfamiliar with everything on the sea! Haha!"
"So it's this kind of thing. If there's no problem, I'll get someone to do it immediately.”
It had to be said that the mayor was very efficient. In a short while, one of Lan Ang's subordinates ran back with a large roll of sea maps. "Mayor, these are the blueprints of the North Sea.”The man gave Arthur a pile of blueprints and a small suitcase.
"Mr. Arthur, these are all the blueprints we can collect in our town, but only a part of the North Sea.”Lan Ang said to Arthur immediately after he saw the blueprints," But don't worry. Although there aren't many blueprints, the navigation routes on them are absolutely accurate. I guarantee that there won't be any mistakes. Even a person who doesn't know how to navigate can safely reach their destination as long as they follow the blueprints.”
While they were talking, Arthur had already opened the box. Seeing that it was still a nautical chart, Arthur could not help but wonder," What is this? Why do you have to pack it up separately?"
Hearing Arthur's question, Lan Ang immediately said," These three nautical charts point to the capital of the Kingdom of Preston, Ellington, the commercial island of the North Sea, Fanjin, and the small island where the North Sea bounty hunters gather, Beast King Island. These three places are the islands that our merchants often visit.”
"Often? Why?" Arthur asked after listening to Lan Ang's introduction. " Oh, it's like this. I won't say anything about Ellington. It's the capital of Preston, and its prosperity can't be found even in the entire North Sea. Therefore, it's definitely a place that merchants must pass through. Vajra Island was a famous commercial city in the entire North Sea. The business there was very developed, and it was also a good place for merchants to gather. Moreover, there was the largest casino and entertainment venue in the entire North Sea. It was a veritable money-squandering den.”Lan Ang paused for a moment." However, the situation there is also very complicated. There are all kinds of people there, and pirates are not prohibited from logging in there, which means that it is a very chaotic lawless zone!”
"Lawless Zone? Then why did those merchants still dare to go there? Weren't they afraid that their hard-earned money would be robbed?”Arthur was confused.
"Hehe, let's talk about the third place.”Lan Ang continued," Beast King Island is the gathering place of all the bounty hunters in the North Sea. Legend has it that 500 years ago, a bounty hunter named Jigdere hunted a legendary monster, the Beast King, on that island. That's how this island got its name. For hundreds of years, it had become a nightmare for pirates. It was said that anyone from that place would dare to accept it, as long as you could afford it! Although this might be an exaggeration, there was no doubt about their strength. Therefore, when those merchants went to some dangerous places, they usually hired some bounty hunters to protect themselves. That was why they dared to go to Fan Jin to do business.”
Time passed quickly. The pirates on the ship had finished their preparations. Arthur got what he needed and thanked Lan Ang and the others before parting ways with them.
"Goodbye! Mr. Arthur! I hope you can come to Binks again next time. Let's continue drinking to our heart's content!”Lan Ang said his final goodbye to the ship.
"Don't worry! I will definitely come back! I haven't had enough of this wine! Hahahaha!"
Arthur looked at the three nautical charts in his hand thoughtfully." Hmm, then the next step is to retrieve Jim's treasure. When we have the money, we can buy a decent ship.”He picked up one of the sea maps and said," It's decided to be you! Vajra Island! Hehe, unable to take it? It felt pretty good! Maybe it will give me some excitement!”The pirate ship continued to sail towards the treasure, but Arthur's mind was already on Vankin Island.
---------------------------------
After Arthur left, another ship came to Chambord Island. It was a navy warship. A seagull mark was drawn on the sail of the warship, and the words '104th Branch' were written below it.
Seeing the arrival of the navy, the people at the port immediately reported to the mayor, Lan Ang. After receiving the report, Lan Ang immediately arranged for someone to receive the navy.
"Oh, isn't this Lieutenant Colonel Herch from the 104th branch? What brings you here?”Lan Ang greeted him with a smile. He knew the navy man who got off the ship. He was the commander of the 104th branch of the navy, He 'er Qi. His rank was lieutenant colonel.
"Oh, it's Lan Ang. How are you? Are you alright?" He 'er Qi asked with concern after seeing Lan Ang again. The 104th branch that He' er Qi was in had suddenly received an order from the higher-ups that Binks Town on Chambord Island had been attacked by pirates, so they ordered the nearest 104th branch to immediately send troops to support them. However, even if it was the closest, with the speed of their warships, it would take them the next day to reach the island. Therefore, Helch, who was rushing slowly, asked about Lan Ang's situation as soon as he arrived on the island.
