The Happiness was unable to escape from the storm's chassis from beginning to end. Their sailboats rolled back and forth with the waves, and the whole storm didn't know how long it took to subside. When everyone came out of the cabin, the sea was gone. There was no sign of any other ships, only a few broken pieces of sailing ships scattered around them.

Looking at the sun born by the sea, everyone felt lucky to escape from death.

But they are still depressed...

Due to the strong waves and strong winds, a sailor on the Happiness was unfortunately sucked into the sea and could not be rescued again. In addition, two sailors died of shock due to excessive blood loss last night, so everyone stared at the floating ship on the sea for a while. The atmosphere was gloomy, and some sailors solemnly took off their hats and stood by the fence looking at the sea to say goodbye, which is a farewell to the souls of the dead brothers.

Bartholomew licked his palate, staring at the signs on the wreckage in a bad mood. He could tell from the scattered boards on the sea that at least two ships of his fleet were destroyed in the storm. Fortunately, most of the most precious gold, silver and jewelry are placed on the Happiness, and they will have enough ability to compensate those victims after they return to the pirate island.

Bartholomew frowned tightly, and took out Klaus' compass from his pocket to check the surrounding situation. He had already known about this kind of shipwreck and death when he chose this road, so he didn't Regret this choice, if you fight recklessly with the navy, I am afraid that more people will die.

But as soon as he got the compass, Bartholomew was taken aback!I saw the magnetic needle in the center of the compass spinning continuously, without any intention of stopping!

How is this going?

Could it be that it was accidentally damaged in the storm?

Thinking of Basalomew's complexion, he immediately took out an ordinary compass from his pocket. This is no ordinary compass!This is the doom compass!If this thing was accidentally damaged like this... Basha Luomyu frowned tightly and dared not imagine further.

As long as you are not a fool, you will know how helpful this thing is to them at sea!

It can be said that the gold, silver and jewels on the entire sailing ship are probably not as important as this compass to these navigators. An ominous message instantly appeared in his mind, and Bashalomy glanced at the ordinary compass.But that ordinary compass is exactly the same as the doom compass!The small magnetic needle in the center keeps turning, and there is no sign of stopping!

"What's wrong with Captain Roberts? What's the matter?" An old crew member next to Bartholomew noticed his ugly face and hurriedly asked.

"It's not a big deal. My compass seems to be broken. Does anyone have another compass in your hands? Take it here." Not wanting others to see carefully, as the captain, he is the backbone of the entire ship, Basha Luomyu took a deep breath With a calm tone, he secretly calmed down.

"No problem! Captain!"

On the boat, most sailors like to carry a compass when they go out to sea. This thing is not expensive, and if something goes wrong one day, there will be a help, but unfortunately... Bashalomyu stared at the dozen or so faces in front of him. After changing the compass, his complexion slowly sank, and several pirates beside him also had ugly expressions.

There are more than a dozen compasses, but none of them can determine which side is south!They kept turning back and forth in circles, without any intention of stopping!

For a while, everyone on the deck fell silent.

"Why are all these compasses out of order?" Resisting the anxiety in his heart, the old sailor frowned and asked.

"It is very likely that there is something wrong with this sea area." Basha Lomeo stared at the sea and pondered.

If it was said that this storm damaged all the compasses at once, he would not believe it anyway.

But now there is no compass, and he doesn't know where the Happiness was blown by the storm. He can only roughly judge the direction based on the sun, moon and stars. It's just that this kind of division is extremely rough, and it is easy to deviate very far if you are not careful. It is very likely that there will be no way to return to Pirate Island for a month or two.

If there is no way to encounter land during this period of time, they are very likely to face hunger. The invisible psychological pressure made Bartholomew take a deep breath——

It seems that if he fails to see land within five days, he may need to order a reduction in the amount of each meal...

"Captain, come and see what's ahead?"

Bartholomew was still thinking about what to do, when suddenly the sailor standing on the watchtower at the top of the mast yelled loudly at Bartholomew.

The pirates on the deck looked up at him one after another, only to see Bartholomew startled, and immediately, holding a telescope in hand, his slender figure swiftly climbed up to the top of the mast.

"Island?" Bartholomew stared at the sea in the distance, and saw a green island appearing in his sight on the blue sea. The figure of a seagull flying high!

"Captain, judging by the distance, it may only take half a day to reach the opposite island! The size of the island looks quite large, and there is a spacious depression hundreds of meters in front of it that can be used as a natural pier! There is no other island on the sea. The shadow of the fleet, this island is very likely to be an uninhabited island!" The sailor next to him said excitedly, even his cheeks were flushed, and he actively suggested: "If we can go ashore today, I think everyone should be able to stay on the island. Have a good night and get some supplies!"

There is nothing more pleasant than meeting a comfortable foothold while floating on the sea. Although the opposite island does not seem to have such things as casinos and bars, you can find clean water to take a bath and eat The roasted rabbit is also quite good.

Perhaps, he thought, they might beg the captain to let them drink some rum to celebrate their escaped victory.

But what he didn't know was that Bartholomew was not in any good mood at this moment. He frowned slightly, stared at the sea without speaking, and had been sailing on the sea for a long time, from England to Pirate Island. He also ran back and forth no less than ten times, but he never knew that there was such a huge island in this journey that no one else occupied...

Bartholomew didn't know whether it was because he was too ignorant, or because the storm had blown them from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean?Or is it further oceans? ...

All in all, there seems to be a bad feeling.

"Anyway—it's better to go to the island first to find out what's going on."

Bartholomew stared at the opposite island, and ordered to the crew: "There is an island directly ahead, we will reach the opposite island at full speed as fast as possible! Try to arrive within two hours!"

"Yes!" All the crew members responded in unison, with hope in their eyes.

……

Palu was at the helm on the Bliss at this time, and Basalomew was standing on the deck, staring at the sea in front of him. The scorching sun shone on the sea, making people's eyes sting. Everyone's clothes were wet, but there was no wind or waves around them. The sea was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. There was no trace of the storm they experienced yesterday!

The time also went from morning to noon, for four or five hours——

However, they still haven't reached the island.

Bartholomew took out the binoculars and looked at the opposite island again. The distance between the islands in the binoculars was the same as before, only the number of seabirds flying in the sky became more, as if their sailboats had been staying in place. It's never been the same.

Bartholomew frowned and looked at the sea around him, feeling more and more weird in his heart.

The opposite island is completely different from the mirage because it is so real!However, it is also different from the image of the sea monster and water ghost formed by mirage shells, because it is too far away!He believes that the green island opposite is a real island!

But why is there no way for the Happiness to get close to the opposite island? !

"Why is the weather so hot? Are we in a windless zone?" Donahue got out of the cabin, wiping sweat from his head. There was no wind on the sea, and the cabin was also unbearably hot and humid. The current temperature is too high, which is not conducive to wound healing. , are more susceptible to infection than in the past.

"It looks like this at the moment, but we seem to be in trouble..." Bartholomew shook his head and glanced at the top of Donahue's blond head, "And it seems that the trouble is not small..."

"Huh? What's the trouble?"

Donohue turned his head and stared at Bartholomew, confused.

"I can't be sure now, I have to wait another two days."

"Wait another two days?" Donohue's eyes widened. Was this guy teasing him?As a captain, you don't know where you are, and you don't know what trouble you're in?Then what kind of captain?

Bartholomew obviously understood the meaning in Donahue's eyes. He grinned and touched the top of Donohue's head with his right hand. He had been coveting the little guy's head for a long time, but it was a pity that he hadn't had the chance these days. How can you miss the opportunity when it comes to you automatically?

"Our ship seems to be trapped in this sea area, if the island in front is real." The warm touch of fur on his palm made Bartholomew feel relaxed, and he grinned.

"What are you doing? Don't move your hands!" Slapping Basalomew's palm away, Donohue glared at him angrily. For the past two days, he was only worried about the other person's comfort. Suddenly, Donohue forgot that he had to avoid It's time to think about the other party's thoughts, but that bastard Basalomeu only spoke half of what he said. He wanted to stay away from the other party, but he wanted to finish listening, so he could only stand there with his teeth itchy.

"What is that island if it is real? Could it be another mirage?"

"There is a possibility that we will have to wait a while before we know the truth."

Even if Bartholomew himself thinks that the opposite island is real, and their sailboat is trapped in this sea area for some reason, all this still needs to be proved by facts.

"According to estimates, we are about [-] to [-] kilometers away from the opposite island. With our current speed of the ship, we can reach it in about two hours, but it has been four and a half hours now, and we can see it from the telescope. The distance is no different from before..."

"So, what do you suspect is wrong?"
