The boat sailed in the mist for more than 30 minutes. Lin Tianyin, who was extremely bored, came out of the cabin and found that it seemed like he had missed the best time to talk after going back to find Leo. The boy didn't want to continue discussing his own affairs. So Lin Tianyin had nothing to do but continued to sit on the deck in a daze. Just when she was thinking about when this would end, she suddenly found that the thick fog surrounding the ship was gradually thinning, and something seemed to change in the distance. be faintly visible.
Is this about seeing a way out? The pirate ship continued to sail forward, and after another five minutes or so, the increasingly thinning fog around them finally completely dissipated, and right in front of them, a spectacular, steampunk-style island appeared.
Is this... the country of pirates
The ship driven by Celil sailed to a port corresponding to the flag on the ship. Lin Tianyin vaguely remembered that Celier said that the island was divided into areas by several major pirate forces, and each of them abided by the rules and did not invade other people's territories. At present, Celier's own territory has been seized by Luka, and if he approaches with someone else's boat, he will be sunk immediately. Therefore, they can only choose to enter from Mogulolo.
When the boat was about to dock, the monkey became excited and kept squeaking. Not far away, the people at the port observation deck saw the captain's ship returning, and quickly turned on the lighthouse lighting. However, these people soon noticed something was wrong: Why were there only so few people on the returning ship
And... still a girl and a teenager, where did the original crew go
"Hey! That boat over there! Stop!"
The people on the observation deck immediately stood up, took out a loudspeaker and yelled at Lin Tianyin and the others from a distance. But the man who drove the boat was Celil, and he didn't slow down the boat because of any threats or warnings. Seeing that something was wrong, the man cursed and immediately turned off the alarm.
The sound of the siren attracted many pirates with the Mogulolo family crest engraved on their bodies. Those people were holding muskets and machetes one by one, with fierce faces, surrounded the port, staring at the ship that was about to dock.
Seeing this, Lin Tianyin thought something was wrong, so many people with guns would be difficult to deal with, it would be great if she could just fool around and avoid the fight... The actionist Lin Tianyin did it when he thought about it, and immediately made a gesture of surrender, facing the people on the shore. Shouting and explaining: "Not the enemy! I just asked Captain Mogulolo to borrow a boat!"
"Why would the captain lend you his boat?!"
"Lies! Captain Mogulolo never lets women on his boat!!"
"Get off the boat honestly! Don't try to play tricks!"
This group of people didn't even have a gentle attitude because Lin Tianyin was a girl, Lin Tianyin was almost speechless, why has she never experienced any treatment that a beautiful girl should have before or now? But just when the atmosphere in front of him became extremely tense, Celier suddenly walked out of the captain's room, and waved to the group of vicious pirates whose eyes stared like pop-eyed goldfish when they saw him: "Yo, hello everyone."
"..."
The group of stunned pirates stared at him in silence for dozens of seconds. Then they reacted one by one, picked up the machete in their hands and shouted angrily.
"Punk Roger!!! Why are you bastard here!!!"
"What did you do to our captain?!"
"Hey, take it easy, brothers." Ignoring the anger of those people, Celier stepped briskly on the deck to the bow of the ship, and jumped in front of the group of people the moment the boat docked. A group of pirates raised their weapons vigilantly and terrified, and quickly surrounded him, but this guy seemed completely unconscious, as if he was their leader, and waved to them one by one with a smile: "Don't welcome me so warmly!" Me, everyone is too polite."
"Who is here to welcome you!!" These pirates had the same temper as their captain Mogulolo, and one of them was almost fainted by Celil's anger, "We are going to kill you! We are going to kill you! Do not you understand?!"
"Huh? Is that so?" Celil looked puzzled, pretending to make people instantly angry. "Everyone has always been like this. I thought this was your way of expressing friendship."
"Who is friendly with you?! That's why we've been trying to kill you!! You hateful one!!"
Lin Tianyin covered her face, thinking to herself, can this guy do other things besides provoking and spreading hatred? ! Obviously, when she was in the belly of the sea monster before, she was taught to clamp her tail and be a human being! As Lin Tianyin expected, another inevitable fierce battle began...
I really can't help but fight! Even Monkey Pippi joins the fray. Leo knocked down a pirate with a knife, and Celier took out his musket to shoot at them. The monkey took advantage of the unsuspecting man's face to throw sand to blind him, and then snatched the musket at a very fast speed. Immediately afterwards, Lin Tianyin, who rolled up his sleeves and showed his fists, rushed forward and punched the opponent directly...
Five minutes later, they broke the previous personal record.
"I killed 8, Leo 11, Shanoa 6..." Celil thoughtfully counted the unlucky pirates who fell on the ground and were still twitching, "But there are 26 people in total, and there are 1 more. Where is the person?"
Celier moved his gaze to the woods not far away, and saw that there was indeed a figure hiding in it and trembling, then he suddenly jumped out of it, turned around and ran away.
"Wait! Punk Roger! Don't run away and call someone if you can!"
"No problem, try to hurry up." Celil waved at him, "I'll wait for you on my territory~"
The man ran away while cursing, and after watching the other person's figure disappear, Lin Tianyin finally understood Celier's plan at this moment—he was deliberately provocative at all!
"Do you want to use others to help you attract Luka's firepower?" This guy is really ruthless, he doesn't care what will happen to his territory at all!
"Smart!" Celil raised his lips and smiled viciously, "When the two sides fight, we can sneak in. I will deal with Captain Luka, and Shanoa can rescue her sister. It’s a better way to have the best of both worlds, isn’t it?”
"...you are really insidious."
"Where there is nothing, these are just some means adopted to win."
"..."
Lin Tianyin decided not to make any further comments. Anyway, sooner or later Celier will regain her territory, and she will also rescue Mirona and Gagaff. Sooner or later, she will part ways with him. Although Lin Tianyin thinks that Celier is much smarter than her and Mirona combined, after all, everyone's ambitions are very different, and they and the prince are the only ones who take saving the world as their responsibility. To be honest, now that I think about it, it is indeed more convenient to form a team with the prince, but after she did those wicked things to the prince, everything has developed in a distorted direction that cannot be turned back, right...
Alas, I still have to rely on myself... Lin Tianyin felt that she was too young, otherwise she would definitely be smarter (isn't that the reason?).
Following Celil quickly left the scene of the incident, Lin Tianyin finally had time to look at the surrounding environment. This island is slightly different from what Lin Tianyin had imagined. He thought that the people living here were only a group of sloppy pirates, but after walking for a while, they also saw Zhitian. Farming is a group of old people who look like ordinary farmers, but they are very alert when they see strangers. Especially facing Celil, it seemed that even the farmers had a grudge against him.
"Never mind, those people are just retired old pirates."
… Do pirates even talk about retiring
Seemingly noticing Lin Tianyin's doubts, Celier explained casually: "It's all lucky, the old guys who were not caught and hanged by the Royal Navy stayed here to farm after their return. Don't be petty. Look at them, if anyone wants to take away their planting land, it is very likely that they will be wiped around their necks without anyone noticing at night when they are dreaming of dreams."
He casually said creepy words, and Celier remained unconscious in the face of other people's horrifying gazes. Perhaps this was his style. He led Lin Tianyin forward, and everyone continued to go deeper along the dirt road, and soon they could see the city.
The city here is very different from the buildings on the mainland of Farus outside, just like what Lin Tianyin felt at first—steampunk, crowded and unplanned. The eyes of the people on the street are also very unfriendly. Generally speaking, the general environment is very depressing. There are some children selling newspapers on the street, as well as prostitutes/women with heavy makeup and yelling to attract customers.
"Be careful of those children running around you." Celil reminded as he led them on, "They are all born thieves... Oh, I got you—how many times have I said that?" .Stop stealing my purse, Peeta."
Celier caught the boy who was reaching for his pocket while he was talking, and the boy didn't panic at all because he was caught: "Tch, I was found, okay, see you again, Uncle Celier."
"Brother." Celil looked at the boy helplessly, then took out a gold coin from his pocket and threw it over. The boy happily took it, turned around and ran away laughing.
"Thank you, Uncle Celil."
Celil shrugged helplessly, and Lin Tianyin couldn't help but glanced at him: "Speaking of which, are all of you here pirates?"
"No, there are some ordinary people who work here. Power plants, water conservancy transportation, etc. need to be maintained daily. It's just that because of limited resources, the forces in charge of this street will go to sea and do some work. Business, bring some supplementary resources back, in short, the normal operation of this place depends on the pirates, that’s why it’s called the Pirate Island by those in Farus mainland.”
"But if this is the case, can't you do some ordinary business? There is no need to be a pirate."
Lin Tianyin frowned slightly and asked, if Luka didn't mention what he did to them at first, from what Celil said, it seemed that what they did could not be more normal. Now that they are all in business, why do they have to become pirates
"Do you think we are willing?" When talking about this, Celier suddenly sneered, with a slightly sarcastic expression, "That's because the Kingdom classifies all unregistered and illegal ships as pirate ships. So no matter what we do, we will always be pirates who are caught and hanged."
"... Oh? Then what are the conditions for registration?" Lin Tianyin was a little surprised, "Can't you register?"
"No." Celil shook his finger and grinned, "The Kingdom wants to take over this Cocoroni Treasure Island, of course we will not agree."
"Why? If the Kingdom takes over the jurisdiction, won't this place become more orderly?" Lin Tianyin glanced at the dirty and messy streets around her. Although she didn't like the Kingdom much, apart from paying taxes and In addition to some darkness and fairness, at least most cities are still very orderly on the surface.
"Shanoya, why do you think they insist on this island?" Celil smiled lightly, shaking his head and said, "Do you know why this place is called Treasure Island?"
