The strongest sea king of pirates

Chapter 21 Sailing
On the vast sea, the sea water stretches as far as the eye can see, and a merchant ship is sailing towards the distance.

The sail was pulled up and swayed by the wind, and the bow of the ship broke through the current, forming waves of water.

"so tired."

On the deck, a teenager was sitting there, moving his shoulders, his expression full of exhaustion.

"Marcel, are you tired after unloading so much?"

Next to him stood a middle-aged man, leaning on the side of the boat, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, looking at the boy with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Joze."

Marcel sighed when he saw the person coming, and said, "I didn't expect to be so tired."

"This is what your father has been doing all along." Qiao Ze raised the wine bottle and took a sip of the wine, and said with a disappointed expression, "Now that he is gone, you are the only man in the family, and you must support the family."

When Marcel heard this, his eyes became firm, he clenched his fists and said, "I will do my job well."

"He's a good guy." Joze rubbed Marcel's head.

"Then, I will practice my sword well, kill those pirates, and avenge my father." Marcel's eyes were full of hatred.

Half a month ago, the merchant ship of the Chamber of Commerce was robbed by the Pirates. The Pirates killed two people, one of whom was Marcel's father.

Without his father, Marcel's family lost their only source of income.

There is also a younger brother and a younger sister in the family. The younger brother is still in his infancy and needs to be taken care of by his mother.

Originally, the mother planned to let her take care of her younger brother, but her mother was not in good health, so the 16-year-old Marcel decisively boarded a merchant ship and worked as a porter to subsidize the family.

Although it is very difficult, as a man, he needs to take on this responsibility.

The people on the boat also take good care of him. He has the lowest efficiency, but when he goes out to sea and follows the boat, the price is based on one man-hour for one handling.

The hourly price of the movers is [-] beli. One trip to the sea can travel to ten villages and move ten times. The salary is at least [-].

Twice a month is the reward of [-] Baileys.

[-] Baileys, save a little, can basically meet the expenses of a family.

As long as you work for two or three years and become proficient in the work on sea ships, you can not only be a porter, but also a helmsman, sailor, lookout, bookkeeper, etc.

You can even catch some sea fish along the way and bring them back to sell or eat.

Marcel is full of longing for the future, and also believes in his own future.

Marcel turned his head, looked at Uncle Joze, and said with a smile, "Uncle Joze, can you give me a drink of rum."

"Want to drink? You are too young, rum is not something you can drink now." Joze said with a smile.

Marcel said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle Joze, I'm already working, so I can drink now."

"Then have a drink."

Joze thought for a while, and handed the wine to Marcel.

Marcel took the bottle, put it to his mouth, and took a sip to swallow it.

cough cough cough.

Marcel coughed violently, and his face turned red.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Joze laughed happily, and waited until Marcel stopped coughing before saying, "You drink too much. Rum is different from beer. It has a high alcohol content. It's the first time you drink it, so don't drink so much."

Marcel nodded, handed the bottle to Joze, shook his head, feeling a little dazed.

Alcohol also requires exercise.

The man who sails on the sea, which one can't drink.

Marcel thought, rubbing his red face, at this moment, a voice sounded in the distance, "There is a sea fish swimming below our boat."

"Carver, it's just a sea fish. We haven't seen what kind of sea fish, so there's nothing to make a fuss about." Joze shouted into the distance.

"This fish is huge."

In the distance, a burly man was lying on the other side of the boat, staring at the water.

"What kind of sea fish? Why don't you catch it with a fishing net, just as the merchant ship has some space to catch it and sell it."

In the distance, an old man shouted loudly.

"Old Jon, you can't catch him."

Carver said with a smile, looking at the fish and said: "This fish is almost 20 meters, it is too big."

"So big?"

Joze and Marcel both ran to the side of the boat and looked down.

In the shadow of the sea, a huge sea fish followed the ship.

The sea fish is about 20 meters long, black all over, with a huge head and a stout body.

The head has a prominent ram, the first dorsal fin on the back protrudes like a sickle, and there is a ram in front of the dorsal fin.

"so big."

Marcel couldn't help asking: "Uncle Joze, what kind of fish is this?"

Qiao Ze looked at it for a while and said, "I haven't seen it before, it looks a little weird."

"Why did it follow us?" Marcel asked curiously.

Qiao Ze shrugged his shoulders and said, "It may be for the purpose of hiding with the help of the hull, or it may be because the arrival of the ship will disturb the water flow so that the fish will catch up and prey, or it may be purely for fun."

"That's it."

Marcel nodded, looked at the bottom of the sea, suddenly put his finger to his mouth, and whistled.

. . .

"Ok?"

At the bottom of the sea, Xia Qiu raised his head when he heard the sharp whistle.

This sea fish was naturally Xia Qiu, and he followed the sea fish and left Na'er Village.

If he killed the captain of the navy, the navy would definitely go to this sea area to hunt and kill him, so Xia Qiu chose to leave.

The ocean is so big, as long as he leaves this sea area, the navy can't track him at all, and he won't remember himself at all after searching for fish in this sea to no avail.

So Xia Qiu chose to leave, but the destination and method of leaving needed to be considered.

I can't blindly look for a direction. After all, there are sea beasts and sea kings in the East China Sea. Even in the near sea, there are also kings of the near sea.

I still need to find the next island. Most of the islands have limited water depth in the surrounding waters. Most of the waters around the shoals are below 30 meters, and a few areas can reach [-] meters.

Of course, there are also cliffs or vertical straits under the shoals of islands, which can even reach hundreds of meters.

A seaport with a water depth of more than 15 meters is a deepwater port. Such a deepwater port can already stop 8000tcu cargo ships.

The water depth is relatively small, and big fish seldom go there, especially marine fish with a body length of more than 30 meters.

With the limit of his combat power, he can almost deal with sea fish between 30 meters and 40 meters. This is already dangerous, but it can still be overcome.

Therefore, Xia Qiu wanted to find the next island and avoid sea kings and sea beasts as much as possible. The best way was to follow the boat.

Nar Village has many merchant ships and cargo ships going to and from the island, so you can take yourself to find the next island.

Xia Qiu did not choose a huge cargo ship. The cargo ships that come here to transport salt every week are full of salt and sail to companies and factories that process salt.

Most of those companies and factories are located in small towns or countries, that is, relatively large islands.

There is no need to go to a large island, where more and more powerful pirates will gather, and there will also be a navy stationed there.You know, the naval branch base is stationed in the town.A naval branch base in a town is in charge of about twenty villages.

So Xia Qiu aimed at small islands, and needed merchant ships that could go to the islands.

For example, this merchant ship is very huge. After unloading part of the cargo, the draft is still very deep.

Such a merchant ship would certainly not only deliver daily necessities for a village transaction.

So it has to go to the next island that needs goods to trade, and the scale of the island will not be too large.

Moreover, such a huge merchant ship must be prepared against sea kings and sea beasts, and most of the routes chosen should be in areas where non-sea kings live.

This ensures basic security.

Xia Qiu didn't respond to the yelling on the sea boat, slowed down, dragged a little behind, and then continued to move forward slowly with the merchant ship.

　I just finished writing it now, and I am rewriting the outline today. The previous outline was a bit boring and narrow.

　　Today I changed the follow-up plot and added some ideas and content, which should be better.
