Set Sail! Storm in the Caribbean! Chapter 27 Pirates' Reception

Chapter 27 Pirate Party

For these greedy and fierce pirates, few people can understand Armand's mind. But this did not include the two contractors, Sheyan and Kerry. Kerry had a vague and ominous feeling in his heart: If Sheyan wanted to show Armand that he had no ambitions, he could have better and more promising ideas. A clever method, why do you have to stand up for yourself? But at this time, he could no longer think deeply. Sheyan had already pulled him over and said faintly in the light of the swaying torch:

"What are you playing with them?"

Kerry was stared at by this group of ferocious pirates, and at least most of them had angry or malicious looks. Naturally, he was frightened and uneasy in his heart. He could only mutter:

"Yes, it's blackjack cards."

Of course, there is no need to explain the rules of blackjack. You can choose the cards you want, and blackjack is the best. Anything over blackjack counts as a bust, and only your extra numbers count. Mouse Shante's hands and feet are extremely slippery, and he has his own unique and powerful skills when shuffling the cards. At first, he easily let Kerry touch 20 points, and then used 21 points to kill it himself. But Fang Senyan had spent a lot of time on the ship, so he knew all about these tricks, especially Hong Kong gambling movies. He had raised the issue before the gambling started, asking him to shuffle the cards.

Naturally Mouse Shante and the others refused to accept such an outrageous condition, but Sheyan argued for a few words and did not insist. Instead, he took a step back and asked Scar Henry to shuffle the cards! At this time, no one could tell what was wrong. Only then did Mouse Shante and the others realize that they had fallen into Fang Senyan's trick of retreating in order to advance. After Scar Henry dealt the cards, both parties naturally had to rely on experience to gamble, but Sheyan's perception had an overwhelming advantage and he won back the two ancient gold pounds without any suspense. The three of Mouse Shante looked at each other, but they also knew that today's matter would only end here. If there were any more crooked ideas, it would not be as simple as a one-eyed dragon breaking off a finger.

It was already dark at this time, and there was a faint sound of cannons in the distance. On the horizon in the distance, there was a faint flash of fire. It was obvious that Hope Island, where the pirates used to gather and divide their loot, was about to arrive. After Armand said a few more stern words to make the pirates behave, he returned to his cabin. Tonight was the first time that he was able to sit on an equal footing with the captains of the three legendary pirate ships. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, but he had to adjust no matter what. Sheyan took Kerry to the deck, looked at the rough sea for a while, and then said coldly:

"Are you wondering why I have to stand up for you?"

This was one of the questions in Kerry's mind, but he would never take the initiative to ask it when his personal safety depended entirely on Sheyan. Sheyan didn't expect him to answer, but said calmly:

"Because they don't dare to deal with me directly, and they can only test you by trying to deal with you."

Kerry's heart moved, and when he was about to speak, Sheyan continued:

"Have you ever seen the alternation of wolf kings among wolves? When the young male wolves think that the wolf king is old, they will do everything possible to provoke the old wolf king. They will not challenge him head-on at first, but will snatch food. , mating with the female wolf belonging to the wolf king, and other indirect methods. Once the old wolf king's response becomes weak, the wolves will swarm up! "

"So." Fang Senyan concluded: "Don't overestimate your own charm. I'm just helping myself. If you rely on my reputation to mess around on the pirate ship, I will kill you first." "

Kerry hurriedly nodded and bowed with a smile:

"How is that possible? By the way...my ancient gold pound...?"

Fang Senyan said in astonishment:

"Didn't you lose your ancient gold pound to Mouse Shante and the others?"

Kerry's expression immediately froze, and his smile seemed uglier than crying.

"But……"

But at this time, Sheyan had already turned around and walked below the deck... The muscles on Kerry's face kept trembling. After a while, he closed his eyes and let out a breath, comforting himself:

"Finally, I'm not taking advantage of you bunch of bastards!"

Although having two ancient gold pounds hacked made Kerry extremely heartbroken, he finally found the root cause of Sheyan's insistence on standing up for him - there was no doubt that it was the temptation of those two ancient gold pounds! This undoubtedly dispelled the original doubts in Kerry's mind. But Kerry ignored one thing, that is, if Sheyan really stood up for him for two ancient gold pounds, then why did he need to explain so many things to him just now? Anyway, Kerry at this time is a completely insignificant contractor to him!

If the Caribbean Sea showed its turbulent majesty during the day, then it calmed down at night, with only slight waves rocking the hull, making the entire sea seem like a comfortable big bed where you can take a nap. There are already many pirate ships anchored around Hope Island, with bright torches lighting up the road. In the center of the island, seven or eight large fires are lit, and shadowy figures can be seen dancing around. Samba dancing and swigging rum.

This is the life of pirates, drifting with the tide, life and death on the sea, in their hearts they have abandoned fear and sadness, leaving only hysterical carnival and the carefreeness of drinking and enjoying life! The Bell and the Wineglass passed through the waves briskly, gliding towards Hope Island. A group of people had already gathered on the shore to greet them, and Armand, with a new look, was the first to stand in front of the gangplank that was docked. Behind him stood Scar Henry, Navigator Charles and others. Fang Senyan was very low-key among the pirates behind, and seemed to have no intention of being in the limelight. The pirates were both respectful and afraid of this "Sailor Rock from the East", but Armand was very satisfied with Fang Senyan's low profile. He nodded slightly and strode to the shore with the people who greeted him. It was obvious that he was going directly to attend the high-level meeting of the pirate group.

As soon as Armand left, the pirates immediately scattered like ants in a frying pan. It was impossible to expect them to follow orders like the regular army. They all rushed to the seven or eight big fires on the island. There were free liquor, barbecue, dice, cards, and tobacco. They were the rewards that the pirate captains paid out of their own pockets to reward their subordinates for their victory. They were also important things that were absolutely irreplaceable in the lives of pirates.

Fang Senyan looked at the empty deck and turned to Kerry and said:

"Do you want to go to the island for a walk?"

Kerry seemed to be interested, but finally shook his head painfully, because he still remembered what happened on the Bell and the Wineglass. For him who lacked the ability to protect himself, it was hard to say whether he would be cut in the neck and thrown into the sea on this island in the dark night.

Fang Senyan waved his hand casually and said, "It's up to you." Then he stepped onto the springboard and landed on the beach.

The scenery of Hope Island can be said to be excellent, not inferior to those top beach tourist areas in later generations. The fine white sea sand alone is fascinating. Fang Senyan did not intend to stop to appreciate the beautiful scenery. He walked straight to the big fires. Fang Senyan's purpose of going to the island this time was also very simple, that is, he still had a task prop in his hand, the "still beating heart" dropped by the rotten soul corpse: chewing the ear.

Although this task prop pointed to two task branches, Fang Senyan considered again and again and chose the second mate old Barry on the Flying Dutchman instead of Blackbeard. For Fang Senyan, if he missed the period of today when the pirates gathered together, it would be hard to say whether he could meet this old Barry.

When he was still one or two hundred meters away from the fire in the central square, the huge noise and noise made by a large number of pirates were clearly heard. These brutal pirates who killed people without blinking an eye were no different from a group of drunkards at this time. Fang Senyan saw a few familiar faces, the pirates from the Bell and the Wineglass, so he walked over and sat down, cut off a large piece of greasy meat from the grill and took a big bite, then took the wine bag from the somewhat dazed pirate next to him and drank it all, smacking his lips, and sighed comfortably.

The pirate sitting next to Fang Senyan was from the Bell and the Wineglass. He witnessed Fang Senyan's command in the naval battle and his feat of fighting the rotten soul corpse alone. Naturally, he admired him very much. Seeing that Fang Senyan didn't seem to have drunk enough, he immediately went to fill another large bag of wine.

At this time, the wine bags were generally made of animal skin, and then soaked in a liquid called "Jidi grass" and dried to avoid soaking. A full bag of wine weighed at least two or three pounds. The way to drink from a wine bag is also quite unique. After removing the cork from the bag, use both hands to hold the wine bag in front of you, stretch your arms completely straight, and gently squeeze with your hands. The wine in the bag will shoot into your mouth like a water gun. When you have drunk enough, gently raise your hands outward to stop drinking. Beginners dare not stretch their arms straight, and the wine cannot be aimed at their mouths. Often, their entire face and the front of their clothes are wet, and they can't drink a mouthful. Fang Senyan drank half a bag of wine before, but he immediately drank the new bag of wine clean. This huge amount of wine made the pirates next to him look at him in amazement, and they whispered to each other and asked who this new face was.
