Pirates to the top

"Sure, sure" Valpo kept mumbling, and Phillips frowned and came over: "Hey, Valpo, what are you mumbling about?"

"Ah" Valpo, who had just reacted, quickly waved his hand.

"Nothing, I was talking about why it's not dawn yet."

Phillips leaned back on the board and said in a gloomy tone: "Soon, it's soon."

Seeing Jack raise his head to glance at himself, and then lower his head to observe the chart with an oil lamp, Walpo breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, he didn't notice me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a roaring sound came through the air, and the air wave driven by an unknown object blew Valbo's hair high.

"what"

"what"

There were two screams, and one was the death scream of an unknown bird that was nailed to the ship's board with a dagger.

The sound was the cry that Valpo jumped to when he thought Jack was showing his evil side and was attacking him.

Phillips glanced at Valpo, who was so frightened that he jumped up, and couldn't help but laugh. This was the first time he laughed since he got on the boat.

"What are you doing, Valpo? Why are you suddenly so timid?"

"Ah, right? Hahahaha." Valpo tried his best to calm his wildly beating heartbeat. He glanced at Jack, who was still unmoved, and suddenly felt lucky to have survived the disaster.

Pulling out the dagger he was throwing, Phillips glanced at the seabird and said with some surprise: "It's a skua. There are actually skuas here this season."

Jack put away the chart, glanced at the skua in Phillips' hand and said slowly: "The presence of seabirds means it's not too far from land, right Valpo."

"Ah, yes, that's right." Valpo's throat tightened when he was suddenly asked, and his mind went blank.

Phillips glanced at Jack, who even now was still prejudiced.Throwing the thief who intended to "steal" everyone's food into the sea, Phillips looked at Henry and Alfred and sighed.

Valpo felt that he was under great pressure now. Simply because of Silas' words, he believed that his decision was related to the safety of everyone on the ship.This huge pressure forced him to scrutinize Jack's every move. He was not only afraid that he would blame Jack wrongly, which would lead to tragedy, but he was also afraid that he would fail to discover Jack's intentions and put everyone on the ship in danger.

Silas, the initiator of all this, did not completely trust Jack, or anyone except Dog Hole No. 9.

And everyone is worried that once they are without themselves, before Henry and Alfred wake up, they may be completely controlled by Jack. Once Jack has any attempt to use his skill and mind, everyone will fall into absolute passivity.

He is well aware of everyone's character. Phillips is careless in doing things and can't hide things in his heart. He seems to be the best to contain Jack, but he is the easiest to be controlled and misled by Jack. Although Monet is far superior to his peers in terms of acting style and execution ability, in the end As a girl, she has an indecisive personality and is prone to misjudgment of situations.

Only Valpo, though simple-minded, was not stupid.He didn't have any hostility towards Jack, nor did he have any favorable impressions. Let him monitor Jack, so he was impartial and not easily biased by his own subjective likes and dislikes.

It is best if Jack does not have any intention to threaten everyone. Once he reveals his intention to threaten everyone and Valpo takes action immediately, Phillips will definitely help Valpo attack Jack regardless of the reason. This can avoid Phillips being controlled and misled by Jack to the greatest extent.

Even though he knew he would die, Silas still paved the way for everyone to find life without him.

The sampan swayed with the waves, and the exhausted people also felt tired.At this time, a faint orange light slowly appeared on the distant skyline.It's not dazzling, but it can tear a small hole in the night sky, allowing more light to shine on the sea.

"It's dawn," Monet said happily as he watched the rays of light gradually rise.

"Yes, it's daybreak." Phillips and Valpo were also in a daze as they looked at the brilliance on the horizon. It seemed that for everyone, surviving a nightmarish night had a different special meaning for welcoming the dawn of the next day.

"Cough" felt something in his throat, and as soon as Henry woke up, he spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Henry, are you awake?" Monet looked over quickly when he heard the cough.

With her eyes red again, she hurriedly said to everyone; "Henry is awake."

Everyone hurriedly gathered around.

"How are you, Henry, how do you feel now?" Phillips seemed to have found his backbone and was very excited.Valpo also breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the burden in his heart. He knew that as long as Henry woke up, everyone would have nothing to fear.

Jack saw Henry who opened his eyes and looked towards him and nodded with a smile.Even Jack couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere all night long.

"Monet, pass me some fresh water, Phillips, where's Silas?"

Phillips looked at everyone and said sadly: "He may be dead."

Then he told Henry the cause and effect, including everything that happened until everyone was discovered and then fled here.

Hearing about Silas' situation, Henry had mixed feelings in his heart, even though he was thankful, he felt guilty at the same time.

Why did Henry invite Silas to join Dog Cave No. 9 in the first place? Valpo was born with great strength and a burly figure.Alfred was extremely talented in swordsmanship, and he still showed extremely high swordsmanship skills even without a famous master.

Phillips has the blood of a fishman. While inheriting the terrifying power of the fishman, he also mutated his own strong scales that can be perfectly controlled.Monet is thoughtful and smart, making him the best choice for logistics.

It can be said that the companions Henry initially chose were very targeted. They were either extremely talented and intelligent, or they were powerful and had a bright future.

But Silas is the only one who neither inherits a strong talent nor acquires high strength.Even in terms of strength within the entire arena, it can only be considered a mid-level position.But it was Silas who was chosen first by Henry because Silas was a principled person who adhered to the bottom line.

Silas clearly knows where he is, and he can implement the principles he believes in to the end without hesitation.It was difficult for people like Silas to truly make friends with him outside, but in the almost closed space of the arena, Henry was given a chance.Get to know him, trust him, and once you get his recognition and friendship, he will pay and repay you a thousand times.

Henry had never met such a person in his previous life, so he made the mediocre Silas the first companion he invited, although the process was also very painful and long.

And he also believed that this young man named Silas would stand up and sacrifice himself without hesitation when he or other companions were in danger.Henry regarded Silas as the last resort for himself and other companions from the beginning, and he believed Silas knew this as well.

"I'm such a bastard, aren't I Silas?" Henry smiled silently in his heart.

Who would have thought that the backbone of everyone on the ship, the legend in the Collins Arena, the generous Henry, the kind Henry, the Henry who valued his companions extremely, was actually not that perfect, and could even be said to be despicable and dirty.

But put aside the pretense, this is Henry, the real Henry.Henry has a bottom line and a complicated heart, but he uses words and disguises to package himself.

Because when he woke up from this body, he understood that in this world, good people do not live long.

"You're the good guy and I'm the asshole."
