Laughing Clown in Pirates

Chapter 52 52. Death
Little Bucky was terrified. He had heard stories about pirates pretending to be shipwrecks and being rescued and looting merchant ships.He couldn't bear to ignore it, so he was going back to the cabin to ask his father and Uncle Norris.

"Hey, little guy, let me go up, I've been hungry for days!" The woman put on a weak expression.

"You'll have to wait, I'll have to wake up my dad to decide!" Little Bucky yelled at the woman.

"Well, I can't wait so long!" said the woman, bending down and taking out a hook from the boat.As the woman's slender wrist twisted, the shiny hook rope spun rapidly, and then flew out to hook the boat railing.

"Ah!" Little Bucky screamed and wanted to cut the rope with a knife, but the woman climbed onto the rail.Heartbroken, little Bucky cut the woman's finger with a knife, the woman screamed in pain, rolled onto the deck, and at the same time brought little Bucky's shoulders, pressing little Bucky to the ground.

Lion Scar roared, frightening the woman so much that she took out the flintlock gun behind her waist and shot Lion Scar.The shot hit Scar's right leg, and he screamed in pain. Looking at the threatened little Bucky, he didn't dare to move, and only let out an angry growl.

The hatch above the bridge opened, and Norris helped Arthur, who was still immobile, onto the deck.He looked at little Bucky who was pushed to the ground with a calm expression, but Arthur scolded him.

"Damn bitch, get your fucking gun off my son's head!"

"That can't be done!" The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at the two and one lion in front of her, thinking.She is the mistress of the captain of a small pirate group. Yesterday's terrible storm destroyed that pirate group. Only she, who saw the opportunity was not good, boarded the lifeboat first and survived.

"I have an idea." The female pirate pressed little Bucky's head hard, and little Bucky felt that the cartilage in his ear was about to be broken. "You can go to my lifeboat, I will leave enough food for you."

"Maybe we can coexist peacefully. There is enough food on the boat, and there is plenty of fresh water!" Norris said. He turned half sideways and hid his right hand behind Arthur.

"There is no need for conflict between us, you say yes, Arthur!"

"If this woman lets go of my son, I don't mind making a friend!"

Arthur pretended to be bold, of course it wasn't true, he couldn't trust a female pirate, as long as he and Norris had a chance, he would save little Bucky and teach that female pirate a lesson she would never forget!
"A beautiful woman like me would not dare to stay alone on the same boat with two grown men. Get off the boat and give me the boat!"

The situation reached a stalemate, and the female pirate put her knee on Bucky's back while drawing another gun from her lower back.She intends to exert pressure, such as knocking off a hand of the brave little guy under her.

The deck was ups and downs with the waves, and the sea breeze blew the female pirate's curly hair on her forehead, which slightly obscured the female pirate's sight. At this moment, Norris, who had been half-hidden behind Arthur, made a move.

He threw three throwing knives at the same time, one shot at the female pirate's right hand holding the gun against Bucky's head, one shot at the female pirate's head, and one shot at the female pirate's chest.

Puff!boom!First, the female pirate's right hand was pierced, and the flintlock dropped. At the same time, the female pirate dodged the flying knife that was shot at her head, and shot a shot at the same time.

Arthur endured the severe pain in his waist and ran towards the female pirate. Lion Scar was faster than him.It jumped and threw the female pirate down, and its sharp teeth directly bit off the female pirate's neck!

"Aha! You succeeded Norris, you are indeed worthy of being famous!" Arthur hugged Bucky and shouted excitedly, but Bucky's eyes were full of panic.

Arthur turned his head and saw that Norris' chest was already bright red.

He leaned his back against the cabin door, his chest heaved rapidly, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Miss!" Norris thought.A shaky deck affected his play.The fatigue from last night even slowed down the speed of his throwing knives.

"Hold on, Norris, I'll get the bandages!" Arthur broke out in cold sweat, "Bucky! Take care of Uncle Norris!" Arthur got into the cabin door and ran to the warehouse.

Bucky ran up to Norris, crying with anxiety.He pressed his hand on Norris' chest, but he couldn't stop the thick blood from gushing out.

Norris looked up at the blue sky and basked in the sun, but felt that it was not unacceptable, at least he died on the ship, which had survived the terrible storm under his hands.

"Don't cover it up, little Bucky, light me a cigarette!"

"Smoke, where is the smoke?"

"in the right pocket of the trousers"

Little Bucky lit a cigarette for Norris with trembling hands. He took a puff and cursed, "Grass, your mouth smells like blood."

Norris looked at little Bucky, his originally sharp eyes were out of focus.

"Little Bucky, you like my throwing knife very much, here it is for you!"

"It's too late to teach you knife throwing skills, remember one thing, keep your eyes on the position you want to shoot, think in your heart that you must shoot him, and then keep practicing, keep..."

Norris said softly, his voice getting softer and softer, like talking in sleep.

This is the first time little Bucky has seen human death.

The butt of the cigarette dangling from Norris' mouth no longer flickered, and the white shreds of tobacco slowly rose and scattered in the sea breeze, gradually disappearing.

The sun shone on Norris' bearded face, and it was as peaceful as a dream.

"Bandages! Bandages!" In the scattered warehouse, Arthur flipped through the messy things, and sweat rolled down his body.

Lion Scar gnawed at the corpse of the female pirate, the sound of sharp teeth scratching the bone made a creaking sound,

Bucky got up and called Scar's name.

Lion Scar turned his head viciously. The hair on its mouth was covered with blood. It growled and let out a low growl, revealing its white teeth.

Bucky looked at the lion who grew up with him, his hairs stood on end, and he felt very strange.

The sun is warm, but the waves are still surging and making a crashing sound.

........................

Arthur was pleasantly surprised to find that although there was no sail, the ocean current brought them to the location of the treasure island.Their ship has been sailing in the direction of the magnetic pointer attached to the treasure map.

They threw the wreckage of the female pirate into the sea.Put Norris on the female pirate's survival boat, filled the boat with spirits, and gave Norris a sea burial.

Lion Scar was back to his usual self, but little Bucky didn't dare to sleep on him anymore.

But the good luck didn't last long... No. 11 days of drifting on the sea, I don't know how far away the island where the treasure is.The ship hit the rocks, and the turbulent sea water poured in from the broken cabin.

Two people and one lion, only desperately transported food and water to the fishing boat tied to the side of the boat, and continued their voyage in search of treasure.
