The early morning sea breeze blows along the coast.
Brush! Brush! Brush!
Annan waved a wooden knife on the shore.
He doesn’t know any moves, and the basic moves are still taught by Esdeath. However, tall buildings rise from the ground. Didn’t Liu Suolong, the Three Swordsman, practice the basic moves over and over again back then. Only by laying a solid foundation can he become stronger faster. The sun has been rising from the east coast to Annan's head.
In the past six months, he has been chased by ferocious beasts from the beginning to now, holding kitchen utensils and drooling after the beast. The beasts can no longer do anything to him.
Not only that, the sparring with Esdeath has also changed from repeated defeats to evenly matched. Occasionally, he can win.
After the training, Annan turned around and returned to the camp.
In the camp, Esdeath is lighting the fire for a cauldron that is twice as tall as him. There is a mountain of food piled on the stone slab beside it. Today it is her turn to be in charge of the food.
Annan was not polite and sat directly on the side of the stone slab, picked up a rib and started to chew on it. Now he eats ten servings of his peers in one meal. Esdeath is about the same as him.
After a while, Esdeath also sat down by the stone slab and began to destroy the food in front of her.
After drinking and eating, Annan and Esdeath sat face to face, with a nautical chart engraved on a stone slab between them. Annan thought it was some kind of cultural relic because it was too close.
"Is this nautical chart reliable?" Annan couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know. I heard from the family elders that it was drawn by an explorer four hundred years ago. It seems to be called Rolando." Esdeath held a piece of dogtail grass in her mouth. "Didn't you often follow your parents before?
Are you sailing? See if this can be used."
"There shouldn't be any problem with the charts and recorded information, but after all, it's so long ago that the recorded weather conditions and active Neptune-type locations should be unreliable. But coastlines, islands, capes and other features that are helpful for navigation are mostly
It should still be right." Annan rubbed his eyes.
"That's enough. We will build the boat in the next few days and prepare to go to sea." Esdeath said.
Going to sea was the result of discussions between Esdeath and Annan. The lonely man and widow have been living here for half a year, and the daily necessities on the island have basically been exhausted. If you don't think of a way to leave, you can only live a primitive life. Moreover, the people on the island
The beasts have become familiar with their auras, and they hide away as soon as the two enter the forest. The beasts have become cowards and are unwilling to be a sparring partner.
"Okay, the navigation chart shows that there is an island not too far to the southwest of us. There is a channel near this island. Let's try our luck there first. If there is a ship passing by, that will be great. If not, we can still
This island serves as a springboard to get here, the Kingdom of Duolun."
Annan pointed to the edge of the navigation chart.
"It seems that Annan-chan's plan is really thorough." Esdeath smiled and patted Annan on the shoulder.
"That's Esdeath-chan."
At this time, Annan and the others were on the sea not far away.
"Chief, we found an island ahead, and there is still smoke on the island!"
"Hahahahaha... The presence of smoke means that there are residents, and the presence of residents means that you can grab things. Little ones, come closer to me! Grab all the food and the beautiful little ladies!"
A two-meter-tall man with a ferocious appearance held a big knife in his hand, opened his mouth and roared forward.
The captain of the Broadsword Pirates, Mal Walker, has a bounty of five million beli.
"Go!"
A group of pirates could no longer restrain their desire to plunder. They jumped off the boat one after another and rushed to the island. Suddenly breaking the tranquility of the island.
"Is there anyone?" Annan heard the pirate's cry, climbed up the tree in a few steps, and looked into the distance. The pirate flag on the boat leaning on the shore was swaying in the wind.
"A passing merchant ship?" Esdeath raised her head and asked Annan.
"No, it's a pirate." Annan shook his head and jumped down from the tree. "I was dozing off, and I got a pillow."
Originally, I was thinking of building a simple wooden boat, but now I can omit this step. Annan grinned.
Walker looked at the extinguished campfire and the empty cauldron and fell into deep thought.
"Boss, brothers have checked. This island has been robbed by other pirates. People have been killed, food has been robbed, and houses have been burned. There is no oil or water to squeeze out." A few gangsters
He ran over and said to Walker.
"No, no, no, there are still people who survived." Walker said, "There are at least twenty people on this island."
"Twenty people? Captain, how did you know?"
"Idiot! There are thirty people in our pirate group. Look at this pot, which is about the same size as the one on our ship. There are at least twenty people who rely on this pot to eat."
"Ah, it turns out that the captain is wise!" The little minions immediately cheered.
"Okay, this is why I am Walker, the sword with a bounty of five million, and you are just my crew." Walker said loudly.
"It is an honor to serve on your crew, Captain!"
"Then should we catch those people?"
"Of course, what's the saying? A thief never escapes! I just tried the remaining heat of the bonfire, they didn't run far, go chase them!" Walker stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance.
woods.
On the pirate ship at this time.
The guarding pirate has been knocked down and tied up by Esdeath.
"This is your plan?"
"Those twenty or so trash fish are not enough for me to kill alone. Why not just eliminate them?"
Esdeath made a gesture of wiping his neck towards Annan.
"After all, there are so many of them, they may destroy the ship if they fight. What's more, who knows if those pirates have any strange abilities, what if the ship overturns. Our purpose is just to go to sea. Don't start another dispute.
."
Annan raised his hand to measure the wind direction.
"Those pirates, let them fend for themselves on this island. If there are people among them who can build ships, they are lucky."
At this time, the wind was southwesterly. Annan lowered the sail.
"Now, let's set sail!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The voyage was very boring, with only seabirds stopping occasionally.
Esdeath sat cross-legged on the bow of the ship, playing with the telescope found in the captain's cabin.
"I asked those pirates. The island we are going to is called Apple Island. Navy Branch 24 moved there a year ago."
Annan walked to Esdeath.
"Is it just a 'ask'?"
Esdeath glanced at the bloody dagger in Annan's hand, and the corners of his mouth rose.
"I did ask at first, but one of the pirates was smarter and cut the rope with a broken piece of porcelain. He probably saw that I was a child and wanted to subdue me."
Annan gently wiped the dagger with his handkerchief and answered casually.
"But things will be much easier after we deal with that pirate. Basically, they will answer whatever I ask."
Annan put away the dagger.
"The Broadsword Pirates, Captain Walker, received a bounty of five million. He became a pirate less than three months ago. In the three small island villages he passed through, there was no one alive, male, female, old or young. Pure Sword Tomb." p>
"It seems that your plan was wrong. They should have been eliminated on the island at that time." Esdeath replied.
"The problem is not big. When we get to Apple Island, we will report the matter to the Navy and they will solve it." Annan said.
"It's up to you, but as you said, there are so many capable people and strangers on the sea. If the pirate who broke free had not seen that you were young and refused to let him go, he would not have fallen into your hands so easily."
"Even if I'm not prepared, he can't beat me." Annan said confidently.
"Hey, who said before, 'Who knows if those pirates have any strange abilities, what if they overturn.'" Esdeath chuckled and looked at Annan.
"I don't know, it's not me. I'm so hungry. What should I eat tonight?"
………………
Navy Branch 24 Base, Colonel's Office.
Sitting behind the desk was a middle-aged man chewing a cigar, with the battle report in front of him.
Cass stood in front of his desk with his hands behind his back.
"Those two little guys said they took advantage of the pirates to land on the island, killed a few pirates watching the ship, and then sailed to us. Is this investigation clear?" asked the middle-aged man.
"It's basically true, but one of the pirates broke free from the rope and was wiped out on the neck by the boy's sword. The binding method used by these two children to tie people is also very special. In my hometown, this method is usually used to tie pigs...
..." Cass replied.
"Attention, Cass! Have you found the information about these two children?"
"It has been found. Six months ago, a merchant ship, the October, was indeed robbed by pirates. The branch received a distress signal, but when the navy arrived, there were no survivors on the entire ship."
"The family information of the captain of the 'October' does indeed include a child named August Annan. His name, age, and appearance all match."
"Where's that girl?"
"We have already landed on the island. What the girl said is true. Except for her, no one from the Bastru clan survived, and all the Big Sword Pirates were arrested."
"Also, do those two little guys want to join the navy?" Byron asked while looking at the report.
"Yes, but they are too young, only twelve years old. We plan to arrange them to be miscellaneous soldiers first."
The middle-aged man lights his cigar.
"Two little guys who stole a ship from under the nose of a pirate group with a bounty of five million, and let them work as casualties? It's too incompetent. If the news is spread, what will others think of our navy?"
"Let's start with the third class soldier. You can make arrangements."
"Yes, Colonel Byron!"
Cass saluted, turned and left.
Byron watched Cass leave the office, and the swirling smoke made it difficult to see his face.
