Three days later, on December 23, at 10:45 am.
The early morning telegram brought shocking news that no one on the White Onyx had ever imagined.
"The first mate, third mate, and three boatswain of the 'Sick Girl' were detained by the Governor-General of Rorsted yesterday evening."
"According to reliable information, the 'Sick Girl' announced that it will disband the fleet from now on and will no longer operate on the Sonia Sea?!"
Cleeves, who was sitting at the breakfast table, took the note from Captain Ireland and read this passage in disbelief.
Suddenly, several people around him looked up.
Because the time was late, some employers and passengers had already finished their meals in advance, and now only Klein, Anderson, Ireland, and two senior bodyguards were left in the restaurant.
But shock was written on everyone's faces.
This is not news that anyone thought would appear in the newspapers.
".What? Is she crazy?" Cecil, the female companion with Cleeves, hurriedly swallowed the breakfast omelette in his mouth and replied vaguely, "She is the leading pirate general! There is a reward of 30,000 yuan.
Gold pounds! Much higher than Lieutenant General Iceberg!"
Her continuous sighs showed her shock.
After all, the pirate general announced his withdrawal from the sea, which was an unheard of event on the Sunian Sea!
Pirates are not a profession. As long as they can still get treasures, few would choose to retire.
Besides, 'Sick Girl' Tracy seems to be one of the relatively young pirate generals, and she will never be in need of retirement.
Plus several important crew members who showed up at the Governor's Mansion
"She was caught?" Klein, who maintained his Hermann persona, asked doubtfully.
"There is no news of being caught yet, but I feel like it." Clevis nodded, "The Governor's Office of the Rhoad Islands will not go out to capture pirates, it is only responsible for exchanging bounties. Her deputies are detained and must have been handed over.
Past."
After saying that, he looked filled with emotion and shock: "The bounty hunters on the sea are really terrifying now."
"It's not necessarily a hunter." Captain Ireland interrupted, "Sorry, I didn't say what you meant, Mr. Sparrow, but most of the hunters at sea have limited skills. Those who can compete with the pirate generals are already all.
Gone to be a pirate general."
This statement was immediately echoed with approval.
A heated discussion on this topic ensued at the dinner table, in which many new rumors about the right and wrong of the "Roseid Sea" and "the sea that swallowed ships" were also mentioned.
However, since the authenticity of news at sea has always been limited, it did not attract Klein's special attention.
After breakfast, he tidied up his clothes and went to the deck to relax and enjoy the scenery.
White clouds float slowly in the sky.
After several days of sailing, the 'White Agate' has initially entered the Rossed waters and is not far from his first destination.
There, what he mainly wanted to do was to hunt the 'Blood Admiral'.
The information received from the 'White Shark' in the bar said that the other party's deputy was on the island and he might also appear nearby.
'Blood Admiral' Sionil and his men love killing, like blood, and are keen on violence against women. Every time they rob a passenger ship, they will always cause a tragedy... This is a recognized thing, and they themselves are very proud of it.
Always generous in publicity.
Compared with them, the 'Vice Admiral Disease' who suddenly retreated to the sea can be regarded as a good and law-abiding citizen. He has no interest in arguing with passers-by except for enemies in conflict.
They are perfect prey.
Moreover, the pirate general's bounty is simply tempting!
Klein looked at the endless sea and couldn't help but yearn for the better life after redeeming the reward.
Forget it, let’s stop now, it’s not too late to think about it after we catch it.
His eyes flashed with hope unconsciously.
This continued for a while, until at the end of his line of sight, a strange black spot diverted his attention. Because of the distance, it initially looked like an irregular acute-angled triangle, with one side longer and the other shorter.
Well, to find its area, you need to draw an auxiliary line
Klein entertained himself for a moment and couldn't help but show a faint smile after trying hard to restrain himself.
But as the ship continued to approach, he suddenly felt an obvious sense of violation.
For example, the tip of the triangle seems to be a protruding mast, and the irregular length of the two sides is because its posture is not right.
That is--
A shipwrecked ship?!
"Captain Ireland, Captain Ireland!" Anderson shouted loudly from behind, "Please come closer to the ship over there, it seems to have been shipwrecked!"
"I will pay for the rescue fee. My friends are on top, please help me!"
The anxious 'strongest hunter' rushed into the captain's cabin.
This made Klein, who was still observing, feel a little suspicious.
Is this friend the same person as the one who was notified at the White Shark Tavern before?
My friends who are Sequence Five are probably not low Sequence either!
His guess was not wrong.
After the 'White Agate' passed by, the ownership of the 'distressed' ship gradually became clear.
The lack of a flag forced them to wait until they got closer before they could recognize its name:
The four words "Golden Dream" are written on the protruding spire decoration on the side of the ship.
It is the golden dream ship belonging to ‘Vice Admiral Iceberg’!
Pirate General!
Captain Ireland's face immediately turned as purple as an eggplant after he saw it clearly. He turned around and wanted to instruct the sailors to turn on the helm and leave.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Before Anderson Hood could try to control the captain and stop him from escaping, the Golden Dream quickly put down several small boats and drove over with full power to surround the White Onyx.
At the front, a tall man wearing a linen shirt and a blue vest stood on the bow of the boat, shouting loudly:
"Put down your weapons and don't resist!"
"We are part of the 'Vice Admiral Iceberg' pirate group. We only rob aristocratic businessmen with a net worth of more than 5,000 gold pounds or a stable annual income of more than 1,000 gold pounds. We will not harm anyone! If there are special circumstances, please explain to us.
The amount of looting will be reduced as appropriate."
"The profit share for merchant ships is more than 50%, the share for ships carrying passengers is 30%, and the share of risk income is 80%. If you resist, all will be confiscated!"
Third 'Flower Bow Tie' Jordson's clear voice echoed on the 'White Onyx', effectively calming down the bodyguard sailors who wanted to get their guns, as well as most of the panicked passengers.
As Klein watched the changes in the situation, he felt a sense of absurdity from the bottom of his heart.
Countless thoughts flew through his mind, and because there were so many flaws, he didn't know where to start.
As expected, Anderson's friend is of high status and is actually a member of Vice Admiral Iceberg's crew, or himself...
The pirate general actually pretended to sink the ship without any style and played fairy dance here.
besides
You are a pirate, your robbery method is so standardized and stylized, and you even have a weird human touch while robbing, is it too strange?!
What kind of maritime toll station pays according to percentage!
His expression was at a loss for words. He felt that the other party's pirate group exuded a strong sense of humor, which reminded him of the popular title format he had seen in his previous life -
"All proceeds from this book will be used to purchase Bloodborne peripherals for the author himself."
Using the format of a charity slogan to frame the essentially evil stance, it is also inexplicably very honest.
Very similar to the Golden Dream's strange plundering rules.
Ahem, that's too far off topic.
In short, even though the pirates had climbed onto the deck and stood in front of them, Klein still didn't panic at all. Together with most of the passengers who had calmed down, they quietly waited for the end of this strange robbery.
after all……
Klein's annual income simply did not reach the tax threshold.
He is poorer than a pirate.
