Seeing the leader being thrown into the sea, the remaining people panicked and began to explain.
But Charles remained indifferent and didn't listen to these guys' explanations at all. He forced them to jump into the sea with a tough attitude.
But as the captain, he must have absolute control over the entire ship. This is both a privilege and a responsibility.
In such a confined environment, the evil of human nature will be magnified exponentially.
He could see that this was just a preliminary test by these guys. If he didn't suppress them this time, the remaining guys who were watching would definitely join in and become more demanding. By then, it would not be as simple as just asking for water.
A tall man at the edge saw Charles' tough attitude, his expression changed ferociously, and he raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Charles.
Before he could pull the trigger, a burst of gunfire rang out behind Charles, and these troublemakers convulsed and fell to the ground.
When the other survivors saw this scene, their expressions turned into horror. They did not expect Charles' attitude to be so tough.
Charles watched indifferently as his crew threw these guys into the sea.
"Kill all my people if you can. Otherwise, my territory must obey me. You can try to make trouble for me again. I don't mind feeding more food to the things in the water."
Under Charles' lion-like territorial declaration, everyone else present subconsciously avoided looking at him.
I don't know if it was because of Charles' words or because the deaths of those people increased the quota of fresh water. The rest of the voyage was very peaceful, and the others did not cause any more trouble. The two boats sailed towards the coral island calmly, one after the other.
Time Travel 9 February 31 Sunny
Ah~ Today is a sunny and cloudless day. It is another good day for quarreling. However, Charles and I are not going to make a fuss today. He and I are tired of quarreling after so many days. Our mouths and throats are tired too. Anyway, no one can do anything to anyone now, so we came up with a reluctant compromise solution.
From now on, any key decisions will be made by him. Of course, in order to compensate for my loss, he must give me another half an hour a day, and our rule is to try to act when the other person is asleep.
Alas~, I found that he was really looking for trouble. Finding the map was such a good thing, but he had to make trouble. No wonder after all these years, he didn't even have a close friend in this broken place. It's really a torture to stay in the same body with him.
"Bang!" Richard's pen drew a long line on the diary due to the sudden impact.
"Fuck you!" Richard cursed as he closed his diary, holding the black blade and rushed out. "Which idiot is trying to make trouble for me at this time? I'll chop him up!!"
As soon as I arrived on the deck, I saw everyone on the deck sticking their heads out to look under the ship.
"Captain! There is a small boat lying below us." The boatswain immediately reported the situation to the captain.
"Oh my god? There are still scammers here?" Richard inserted the black blade into his boots, walked to the edge of the boat and looked down.
The boat below is an old small boat. Although it is called a small boat, it is not small either. It is about the same size as the previous Mouse.
The boat was so low that it was obviously a coastal ship. The people on the boat were trying to rescue their companions from the water. It was obvious that they had been hit hard by the Narwhal.
Charles put his hands on the edge of the boat and jumped straight onto their boat. He stretched out his finger and flicked it hard on the forehead of a bald middle-aged man who looked like the captain.
Facing the aggressive Richard, the middle-aged man seemed very humble. He smiled and picked up a box of fruits next to him.
"Captain, you've worked hard at sea. Look, our black vine fruit is very fresh and not expensive, only 800 echoes per box. Would you like some?"
"It's only a day's sail from here to the Coral Island. Why are you here to sell things?"
"We've been out at sea for so long, the water in the tank must have gone bad. It's not as good as the black teng fruit juice. Buy it sooner and enjoy it sooner. My sir, buy some."
"Do you think I'm stupid? Move your lousy boat out of the way, or I'll just go over it at full speed."
Richard lost interest instantly when he saw that it was just an ordinary salesman. He grabbed the soft rope hanging beside him and prepared to go back. In another half an hour, it would be Charles' time, and he didn't have time to waste here.
Unexpectedly, when the middle-aged man saw this, he hugged his legs and cried with a grief-stricken expression.
"Captain, please buy some money. My island has sunk. I rented this boat with my own money. My wife and children depend on me for their livelihood. If I don't make some money, I will have no choice but to jump into the sea with my children."
Charles loosened his grip on the ladder and looked at the captain in front of him and the three crew members behind him. Their ears were not deformed and they were not from the Coral Island.
"The island sank? Wasn't the last island to sink more than a hundred years ago? You can't even make up a lie." Charles' tone was full of doubt.
The bald middle-aged man wiped his snot and tears with his hands and explained quickly: "Really, Captain, you may have just returned from a long voyage and don't know the situation. Yingdao really sank, it happened not long ago."
"Shadow Island..." A rough map of the sea quickly appeared in Richard's mind, and he found that it was an old island not far from the Coral Island.
Seeing that Richard seemed to be considering it, the bald man continued to beg.
"Captain, you don't know how tragic that was. Tens of thousands of people were sent screaming into the sea, and the creatures in the sea came running over, appearing in groups and dragging people into the water. The scene was like the end of the world. I had to hand over all my money to get a ticket in return. Please have pity on me."
Richard touched his chin with his hand and waved his hand, "Okay, let's treat it as helping the refugees. Five boxes per ship to quench the thirst of my crew."
Hearing this, the bald man jumped up excitedly, "Thank you, thank you! May the goddess bless you."
"Don't mention your goddess. I don't know what the hell you believe in. If you mention the goddess again, I don't want this thing anymore." After Richard said that, he pulled the ladder back to the boat.
As the Narwhal slowly approached the coral island, more and more small boats selling goods appeared.
They competed with each other, selling all kinds of things to every ship entering the port, and the entire sea was in chaos.
Everyone on the small boat had an anxious look on their face, and they kept begging the boat to stop and buy their things.
This action is actually very dangerous, especially for those big boats with higher bows. They can't see the small boats at all, but they don't care at all, as if they are willing to risk their lives just to get a little more echo.
