Laughing Clown in Pirates

Chapter 87
Night, Island 59, Chambord Islands, Fredo Coating Factory.

The waves beat day and night on the hard rocks of the port and broke into splashes. Amidst the seemingly endless rustling sound, a little yellow light appeared at the junction of the dark water and sky, and the light kept flashing, sending a signal to the port.

The dozing boatman on the watchtower was quickly alerted by the flickering light signal.He quickly took out the black cloth under his seat, shook it, and shone it on the light of the watchtower. After a while, he immediately removed it, and then covered it again... His signal was quickly captured by the other party.

"It is convenient for transactions, please enter the port..."

At this time in the port, you can clearly see what the lights are. It is a pirate ship, a medium-sized three-masted sailing ship. Judging from the draft of the cabin, they probably have a lot of cargo in their cabin.

The boatman rang the small bell on the watchtower to remind the colleagues on the night shift to come to business, and at the same time set up guns on the watchtower.No matter how careful you are when dealing with pirates, you can't be too careful.

The scale of the Fredo coating factory is not large, it is just one of the many careful coating shipyards in the Chambord Islands.Of course, their service items are not limited to ship coating, but also ship repair, deck cleaning, weapon installation, etc... In short, they can do anything as long as they are paid, and they even occasionally act as second-hand slave traders.

After hearing the bell, Fredo, the owner and chief boatman of the coating factory, put on a coat for himself and rushed to the port.He had thinning black hair on top of his head, dark circles around his eyes, and a thin, overworked figure.

Fredo used to only lead the day shift business, which was safer and easier, but his son had just entered the political arena recently and needed enough money to open up relationships, find good jobs and enough channels for advancement.

Just a petty official in charge of the lower court's written records, that greedy politician wants a full 5000 million Baileys!
Leading a group of boatmen with guns and live ammunition, Fredo stood still at the port, covered by artillery in the distance.

But the pirate ship slowed down and slowly approached the port.

"Do you have any impression of this pirate group, how much is the bounty?" Fredo looked at the pirate flag of the pirate group and asked the boatman who was in charge of checking the ship information.

The boatman flipped through the big thick book quickly, which contained photos of pirate ships cut from the World Economic News.

"I found it, the Skunk Pirates... The captain has a bounty of 3000 million Baileys!" The boatman snapped the big book shut: "Captain, this business can be done!"

"Well, let them in!" said Fredo.The boatman on the watchtower received the order and issued a signal with lights, and the pirate ship slowly entered the port.

At this time, Fredo could already see the pirates gathered on the deck of the pirate group.They were no different from the previous pirates, their skin was rough, their teeth were yellow and their teeth were missing, they were chatting excitedly, with a stupid look of rushing ashore to play with women.

Captain Skunk Sam is well-dressed, with two flintlock guns pinned to his waist, a black skull cap, a black fur scarf around his neck, and a western sword in one hand.

Looking at the flickering edge of the sword's edge under the light, Fredo could tell that it was a rare and famous knife.

This is a pirate with some strength... So the well-informed Fredo judged.

With a click, the thick boarding boards were laid on the hard bluestone of the port, and the captain, Skunk Sam, stepped off the ship first, followed by his pirate crew.

He first turned his head to look at Fredo Coating Factory before speaking to the middle-aged bald man who looked like the boss standing in front of him.

"I need to replace a medium caliber gun, repair the port side decking...and coating."

Fredo smiled brightly: "Of course, guest. Fredo Coating Factory will be happy to meet your requirements. I can take you to see a suitable gun later. The repair cost will be calculated and given to you."

There was a faint cry in the cabin, and then the voice gradually became louder, which caused the pirates on the deck to walk towards the cabin cursing.

"It seems that you have gained a lot as a guest."

"Hmm..." Skunk Sam obviously didn't want to say anything more: "Do you have a place to rest here? We still need fresh food."

Apparently, the well-dressed pirate captain has had enough of the kippers on board.

"Of course...Fredo Coating Factory has everything!" Fredo rubbed his hands and said, "Captain, I have a little suggestion about your spoils. Our shipyard also cooperates with the slave trading market."

"I heard your prices are not very fair."

"That's other coating factories. Fredo Coating Factory only makes a small profit, but it can save you a lot of time!"

"If you ask me, those slave traders are cunning bastards. They can tell at a glance that this is your first visit to the Chambord Islands... You may not be able to get an ideal price."

Skunk Sam stopped and turned to look at the bald coating shop owner.

"How much can you pay?"

"Then it depends on what is on your ship, captain."

"I robbed a merchant ship of an aristocrat. Although they are all ordinary humans, the lady of the aristocrat has a good taste, and there are many tricks. The body of the captured guards is also quite strong!"

"Hahaha... Let's eat and drink first, and I will take you to see the artillery later!"

Fredo grinned and said that the slave trade was another additional income. He estimated that he could earn a full 1000 million Baileys from this business.

A gunshot shattered Fredo's dream.

"Navy! The navy is coming!" a boatman shouted, shooting at the same time.

Fredo turned around, and saw the young sailors wearing storm armbands jumping out of the water like seals, attacking the boatmen and pirates.

Who knows how long they've been soaking in the icy sea, a bunch of lunatics!
The business could not go on, and maybe the Fredo coating factory would also be finished. Fredo didn't have the slightest idea of ​​resistance, but just ran away.

Unlike the cowardly owner of the coating factory, Skunk Sam, who is used to fighting the navy, drew out the two flintlock guns on his waist and fired.A heroic navy was shot in the thigh and fell to the ground screaming.

He also needs to have a heroic navy around him to support him and deal with the pirates who came for him with a knife.

"Simon is injured, you cover him!" the navy shouted, staring at the skunk: "I'm going to deal with this guy!"

"No problem, Captain Russell!" The heroic navy waved his naval saber in response, and the sea water swayed from his wet body.

In a split second, Russell appeared in front of Skunk Sam. He slashed vigorously, and the huge force almost made the famous knife in the hand of Skunk Sam, who was blocking with a knife, drop.

Sharp teeth and hair grew on Skunk Sam's face, and for a moment he gained greater speed and strength, and... With a puff, thick yellow gas spewed out from behind the skunk, and that The stench almost made Russell faint.

"No one can hold on to my stench... Impossible!" Skunk Sam's beastly face was punched hard by Russell.The young lieutenant commander closed his eyes that were weeping from the stench, but the more he fought, the braver he was!

Skunk Sam didn't last long at the hands of the heroic Lieutenant Commander, he was quickly stabbed in the stomach, guts pouring out of his ripped belly, and he was punched to the ground again.

At this time, Russell's footsteps were also shaky, and the strong stench made him dare not breathe and could only fight with his breath.

"Skunk Sam, the bounty is 3000 million Baileys, Captain Russell, this is not a small fish!" A navy shouted excitedly.

Russell didn't answer, but turned around and rushed into the sea. After swimming in the sea for a while, he dared to breathe.

The stinky water mixed with stench and seawater flowed into his mouth from the corner of his mouth, making him retch violently.

"Hahaha..." The navies who cleaned the battlefield and subdued the pirates who surrendered or fought laughed loudly when they saw their captain in a mess.

They opened the cabins and freed those who had not been sold as slaves.

The weeping lady, the tortured man whose face turned pale, the disabled guard... Leaving aside the gratitude of those who were rescued, a small team was formed in the navy and went down to the cabin to investigate again.

Soon, the laughter of the sailors on the deck stopped abruptly.

Because the sailors who came down from the cabin brought out two corpses, a young girl and... a baby who died in her arms.
