A Pirate's Counting Life

Chapter 44 Smuggling

As night fell, two sneaky figures slowly approached the dock under the moonlight, and they nimbly came under a merchant ship.

Mark first listened carefully to what was going on on the boat, and then looked at the height of the boat after noticing that no one was there.

He grabbed the hand of the girl next to him and made a silent gesture, and then threw the girl towards the boat with his right hand.

He tapped the hull of the ship with his left foot and instantly jumped to the deck. A princess hugged Shirley who fell down.

Mark slowly put down the other person, and then stepped on the deck lightly. Shirley couldn't care less about being shy.

Following Mark's movements, the two of them soon arrived at the second floor. Mark walked in front while sensing the movement in the room.

The second floor of merchant ships is usually reserved for the rich. The two of them walked all the way to the end. Mark sensed that there was no movement in the room on the right and winked at Shirley.

Shirley nodded first and then pushed open the door and walked in with Mark's stunned expression.

He just wanted the other party to be a guard, so he came to open the door, but he didn't expect the other party to be so reckless.

Mark made up his mind not to wink when talking to Shirley in the future. When he walked into the room, Mark saw Shirley who was laying the floor.

He quickly stepped forward to stop the other party's movements, then pointed to the wooden bed, and said slowly with Shirley's shy expression, "You sleep on the bed tonight, and I will keep watch."

"Oh……"

Shirley looked away with some disappointment, then lay on the bed gloomily, covering her head angrily.

Mark slowly closed the wooden door and leaned against the door. The always-on sight color allowed him to clearly perceive everything that happened within one meter.

Early the next morning, the merchant ship left the port under the command of the steward. Shirley lay down at the window and looked out. This was the first time she saw such a scenery.

Looking at the seagulls flying occasionally in the distance, Shirley felt that her life was full of life again.

"Cuckoo~"

Shirley held her stomach and lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at the expression on Mark's face.

Looking at the shy girl, Mark shook his head and said softly, "Bear it a little longer. It's breakfast time, and there are many people in the kitchen. After the peak period, I'm going to steal...borrow some food."

Seeing Shirley's unkind expression, Mark organized his words wisely. Shirley nodded slowly and said seriously.

"We are borrowing this, and we have to pay it back later."

"Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, okay"

Mark nodded very perfunctorily, and Shirley didn't care about Mark's attitude.

An hour later, Mark made a silent gesture to Shirley, then slowly opened the door and closed it gently.

After tidying up his appearance and heading towards the kitchen, Mark handed the chef one hundred beli before he could ask.

"Breakfast is great. I'm hungry again. Is there any leftover breakfast?"

The chef accepted Bailey with a smile on his face, pointed to the food on the side and told Mark to take it as he pleased.

Mark took ten pieces of long bread and a bucket of hot water without any courtesy, then smiled and nodded to the chef.

He took the things and left the kitchen. After returning to the room, Mark put the hot water and bread on the table and called to Shirley, who was looking at the scenery, "Come over and eat quickly."

Shirley jumped out of bed with a happy face, came to sit next to Mark, picked up a piece of long bread, and ate it slowly

Mark also reached for a piece of bread and bit off a third of it, chewed it a few times and then swallowed it.

After taking a sip of hot water, Mark came to the bed and lay down. He said to Shirley beside him, "I'll take a rest. Call me if you need anything."

Shirley blushed and nodded, then took off a piece of bread and put it in her mouth to chew slowly.

Soon there were only the sounds of chewing and breathing in the room. At night, while everyone was sleeping, Mark sneaked into the kitchen to get some meat.

It took two days to sail to the mall and there were still more than ten days away from O'Hara. Since Mark took less food, the chef did not go out to find the answer. He just assumed that someone couldn't help being hungry and secretly took some food.

"Is that a pirate ship?"

Shirley stretched out her right hand and pointed out the window and said somewhat uncertainly. After hearing this, Mark came to the window and looked outside.

Feeling the warmth coming from Mark's body, Shirley's cheeks were slightly red and her hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes and kept rubbing them.

"It is indeed a pirate ship. These scum of the sea are really annoying."

Mark closed the window irritably, looked down at Shirley and asked with some confusion, "Why is your face so red? Are you sick?"

"No...no, it's just a little hot."

Mark nodded lightly and returned to the table, preparing to wait for the pirates to get close before going out to deal with them. The person in charge of the merchant ship probably wouldn't mind buying the pirate's head at seven levels of market price.

Thinking of this, an idea came to Mark's mind. In the future, any pirates he killed could have Shirley go to the Navy branch to collect the bounty. He would secretly observe from the side to see if there was any kind of navy cancer that preyed on black people.

After a few minutes, the hull of the ship began to shake, and people screamed in horror from all around. Mark said to Shirley on the bed.

"You wait here for me and don't go out. If anyone comes in, beat him."

Shirley nodded seriously, then picked up the pillow and looked like I was awesome. Mark rubbed his forehead helplessly.

He closed the door and walked towards the deck. As soon as he arrived on the deck, he saw a guy who looked like the guard commander being chopped to the ground by a pirate, and then chopped into several pieces by the swarming pirates. The guards' His will instantly collapsed and he began to run away.

Mark's eyes scanned back and forth on the battlefield, trying to find the captain of the pirates. Not far away, a pirate saw that Mark was distracted.

With a grin, he swung a knife at him. Mark very pretentiously stretched out two dark fingers to clamp the opponent's long knife.

He broke the long knife with a strong twist, and ended the other's life with half of the weapon in the pirate's disbelieving eyes.

After some searching, Mark finally zeroed in on a sturdy man wearing a pink dress on the bow of the boat. The sea breeze blew through the dress and began to sway from side to side, revealing his long hairy legs underneath.

The opponent's appearance made Mark a little disgusted. He picked up a weapon from the ground and inserted the blood cherry into his waist. He would not use his own weapon to chop down such a disgusting creature.

Mark walked towards the bow of the ship casually, and all the pirates who came to stop him were eliminated with one move.

Even the officers on the pirate ship were able to kill him in one fell swoop. Looking at the strong man with an unchanging expression, Mark felt a little admiration for him. This psychological quality was not ordinary.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! What should I do?"

Doklo was panicked, but unfortunately he was facially paralyzed. Even if he was scared to death, he couldn't make a corresponding expression on his face.

"I admire you very much, so I decided to give you a decent death. Tell me how you want to die."

Mark shook off the blood stains on the knife with a strong wave of his right hand, and looked at the strong man with admiration.

"big big big"

Seeing that the other party hadn't said a complete sentence for a long time, Mark said with some confusion.

"Isn't it necessary? Okay! You have the backbone! I appreciate you."

Seeing the strong man still saying big words with an expressionless face, Mark held the long knife in his backhand and inserted it on the deck.

He took two steps back, slowly held the blood cherry in his right hand, saluted the strong man, and then quickly pulled out the blood cherry and scratched the strong man's neck.

Mark decided to retract his previous evaluation of the strong man as a pervert. He was deeply moved by the man's courage to face death, but it was a pity that he was not strong enough, otherwise he might be able to make a name for himself on the sea in the future.

"Do you have a reward on your ship? If so, take it out and compare it to see how much it is worth."

Mark shouted rudely to a guard behind him. The guard trembled and immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Seeing the guard rolling away, Mark touched his cheek and said softly, "Am I so scary?"

The guard held a stack of bounty orders with a look of fear on his face, half-kneeling on the deck and began to compare them one by one. The remaining guards cleaned the deck and threw all the corpses on the ship onto the pirate ship.

Mark sat on a box and waited for the guard to report the situation. Five minutes later, the guard came to Mark's side with his body trembling.

"Sir...Sir, all comparisons have been completed, and there is no matching object."

Mark waved his hand a little irritably and said slowly, "Okay, then just throw it over and be cremated."

After speaking, he slowly stood up and kicked open the treasure box he was sitting on just now. Looking at the treasure inside, Mark waved to the person in charge of the merchant ship.

The other party came over humbly and bowed to Mark, and said somewhat cautiously, "What are your orders, sir?"

"Please help me calculate how much the things in here are worth."

Mark pointed to the treasure in front of him, and Sang Qi immediately recognized Mark as the person who asked him about the price one day. After all, it was rare to see such an ordinary-looking person with a scar on his face.

Looking down at the treasure in the box, Sang Yu began to estimate the price in his mind and then quoted a number in three seconds.

"One Million Baileys"

"kindness?"

Mark raised his eyebrows and pointed at a string of pearls and said, "You want to take advantage of others? These pearls are more than this price, right?"

Sang Yu looked at the thumb-thick pearl and said helplessly, "You don't know, pearls of this size are the most common. Pearls of different colors are more valuable."

Mark looked at Sang Qi with wide eyes and then at the crowd around him, especially the richer group in the crowd. Their eyes were full of disdain when they looked at Pearl.

Mark scratched his head and accepted Sang Yu's offer. His mind kept reminding him that this place was no longer the same as his previous life. The previous world view was no longer suitable for this world.

This is a world rich in seafood, with giant sea kings that are tens of thousands of meters in size. Thinking of this, Mark looked at those pearl necklaces again, and the excitement before was gone in his eyes.
