[Pirates] Intelligence dealers don't sell cute

I stretched out and slept comfortably.Today's weather is also good, the sky is clear, and maybe some business will come to your door.Putting down the wooden paddle, I put the specially-made fireworks into tempered glass bottles one by one, and threw them into the sea far away.Watching those bottles with the smiling face of the clown fade away with satisfaction.

Cough, as for my identity... I am Klauen, a dedicated information dealer.As for the glass bottle just now, it is a bridge for my business.In the turbulent era of great pirates, I didn't have "two brushes" and I didn't have any leadership skills, so I could only work with a relatively low risk factor, (uh, I mean ignoring the navy and pirates who often hunt me. ) and it is also my job as the director: to collect information, sort it out and sell it to pirates, navy and other people.In exchange for the money I need.

There was still some hot water left in the thermos, so I made a cup of black tea, and with the cheese, I began to enjoy my breakfast... er, no, it was lunch.After collecting the dishes, I leaned out and washed my hands in the sea water.After drying off, lie directly on the soft blanket and put the boots on the wooden box. The boat is full of sunshine and warm.I hope there will be a good business today... The money is almost running out, and there is not much money left, it is all my fault for spending money...

I head into nap time with my deflated purse in my arms.

================================================================================================= ==============

"Are you all ready?" The captain of the pirate group yelled at his subordinates, "Stay in the captain's room and stay in the captain's room, and you must not make mistakes!"

"Oh!" The sailors were busy setting traps.

"What are you still doing here? Kidd, go and do your own work!" He glanced at the red-haired boy in the corner.But the young man stared into his eyes, and there was an indifferent light in his eyes, unmoved at all.

"Hey, I said you..." The captain just walked over, but the boy named Kidd suddenly said:

"Who the hell is 'Crowne the Clown'?"

The busy people around also stopped their movements. They also wanted to hear the captain's explanation, after all, they didn't know much about clowns.

Seeing that the layout was almost done, and the captain wanted to show off, he leaned on the side of the ship, took a bottle of beer, and began to talk while drinking:

"The clown. It was only a few years ago that she became famous. She is an information dealer, and some people say that she is a person with fruit ability, and the ability of fruit is to spy on information. Of course, this is just a guess. But she sold Indeed, none of the intelligence at hand has any mistakes, not even the slightest inaccuracy."

He paused, took a sip of his wine, and everyone clicked their tongues in admiration, and didn't continue until the captain had a satisfied expression on his face.

"Nobody knows her real name, she just says she's called Crone."

Someone interjected: "Crown, clown, clown."

"Of course no one has seen her. She has always only worn a big gray cloak. She always wears a clown mask."

"Like a dedicated clown." He suddenly laughed.

"There are many people who covet her abilities, right?" Kidd said coldly.

"Ah." He threw away the empty beer can in his hand, "Who doesn't want such a powerful monster-like ability? In today's troubled times, intelligence is the most important weapon, and sometimes it can save your life even more than force What's more, she is also wanted by the Navy for a reward..."

Seeing everyone's eyes widen, the captain smiled and took out a neatly folded arrest warrant from his pocket.

Under the big WANTED is a somewhat blurry photo. The man looked back vaguely, half of the mask was exposed under the gray cloak, and there was a funny and exaggerated smile on the bright red lips.The flash could not illuminate the darkness of the other half, but people could vaguely see the golden tear mole under her left eye and a few strands of red hair.

Kidd was a little surprised, but what surprised him even more was the amount of her reward.

"What?! There are actually two billion Baileys?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"And look at that. Pirates' wanted notices are usually 'DEADORALIVE', but hers is 'MUSTBEALIVE'."

"That's because not only the pirates, but also the navy want her." The captain explained leisurely, then accepted the reward order and put it in his arms again.

"Okay, I've heard enough stories, it's time to work now, and I'll meet the clown later!" The captain looked at the distant coast, and suddenly recalled the scene when he met her a few days ago.

He was in a bar in a small town, drinking beer after glass, as bold and free as any pirate.His ship is in the harbor.Today they are going to buy some food, fresh water and daily necessities.

Then he saw her in the tavern.

Wearing a big cloak, with no expression on his face, he walked in easily.He felt that the moment she came in, the tavern became much quieter, and everyone was watching her, either sneakily or aboveboard.But she didn't seem to notice it, she was still relaxed and indifferent.He was curious and surprised.How did a thin, short girl who looked like she was only in her teens do it?

"Here. Black Currant." She walked to his side, and with a flick of her hand, threw a kraft paper bag onto the counter that was a lot higher than herself.The immature tone and movements are completely opposite to the familiar gestures.

Sitting next to the counter was a rough man with black curly hair and a mustache, with his clothes open and his hair wrapped in a turban. He took out a cloth bag from his arms, and the sound of clattering gold coins was particularly ear-piercing.It caused the pirates in the tavern to swallow their saliva one after another.

"Too little." She frowned, and the words almost made the captain spit out his beer.

Wiping his mouth, he continued to watch the show with great interest.To his surprise, the man froze for a moment, and then without saying a word, he took out an iron wine can from his arms and threw it to her without looking back.

He saw a twinkle in her eyes, just like a little girl seeing a beautiful puppet.She unscrewed the lid, and the rich aroma of wine instantly filled the entire tavern.Now, even without the loud price tag, even an idiot would know it's a good wine just by the taste.He saw three neat and simple letters written on the bottle:

rum.

And she sniffed, and finally smiled and said:

"Welcome to the next transaction, Tink."

When she turned around and left, the man named Ting Qi who had been silent all this time suddenly said:

"You'd better quit drinking."

And she just smiled, noncommittal.

Seeing that she was about to disappear outside the door of the tavern, he rushed out out of nowhere and grabbed her skirt:

"Can I be your customer?"

Later, he got a drifting bottle with a clown's smiling face on it, and was told that if he needed to find her, he had to light the fireworks in the bottle. However, the only thing to note was that it would cost a lot of money to find her.

And today, it was the first time he used it, and it was also the last time he used it.

Because he wants to catch her and make her his pawn!

================================= Dividing line ==================== ==============

With a bang, a gorgeous firework exploded in the sky not far away. It was my unique smiling face of a clown: forked eyes, a line-like smile with a few short lines stitched on it.Rubbing my sleepy eyes, scooping up a handful of sea water, and washing my face, I worked up and got ready to start work.

What kind of customers will be waiting for me?How much reward will he give me?

I smiled and speeded up my paddling.Thinking about it, next time I must change to a boat that can withstand wind and waves.

Not long after, I dropped anchor in front of a not-so-small pirate ship.

"Welcome." An impatient pirate lay on the side of the boat and waved at me.

I ignored him, and while he was putting down the ladder, I put my hands on the boat and closed my eyes.Sketching the structure of the ship in my mind, imagining the model and the heartbeat of everyone in the model, I grinned:

Throwing a grand banquet...

"Come on." The pirate greeted me, I nodded, hid the backpack under the cloak, touched my waist and boots, and made sure that the gun and knife were there.Then he whistled and climbed up briskly.Meet my customers with ulterior motives.

Here it comes... Kidd tightened his hood, staring intently at the figure turning over the side of the boat.What surges in my heart is the excitement when a wild beast meets its prey.

"Acquaintance?" I muttered, and saw the red-haired guy in the corner.

It really is... I was a little dazed, I didn't expect to meet him here.This guy's hair is still the same as before, fried like a hedgehog.

"It's a worthwhile trip." I briefly defined it in my heart.

"This is our captain." The pirate leading the way stopped in front of a tall man, then stepped aside.

"Crown." I held out my left hand.

"I am the captain of this ship." He gently shook my hand.

Hearing his self-introduction, I looked at his face and remembered that I saw him a few days ago when I was trading with Blackbeard in the tavern on the island of Cristi.

"Excuse me, what information do you want to buy from me?" I tried my best to look decent, but the subtext was: Excuse me, do you have the money to buy it?

He looked around, pretending to be embarrassed:

"Can you follow me to the captain's room?"

I glanced at the red-haired hedgehog with a nasty smile, but I said calmly:

"It's work."

Heavy footsteps landed on the somewhat damp wooden floor, making a creaking and distorted sound.He is a little unnatural.Finally, he stood still in front of a carved wooden door. Surprisingly, he did not rush to invite me into the urn, but instead asked an innocuous question: "Is the information sold by the clown really correct?"

I smiled and nodded: "What else do you need to say?"

As if he was relieved, he stepped back to the right and made a gesture of please.

coming!

I stretched out my hand to pretend to open the door, but before I touched the doorknob, I quickly backed away. At this time, the door was knocked open by the pirates who were ambushing inside. They crowded and ran towards me.I turned and ran, and I knew there was a vent at the fork in the corridor on the right.As long as I escape there, I have a chance to counterattack them!

The surprised captain did not forget to order the crew to chase after him.Needless to say, he must be amazed at the moment why I can see through the perfect ruse.

Miscalculated.I am a little proud.

If I can't see this kind of trap, I don't know how many pirates and navies have captured me!

The fork in the road was right in front of me, and I just ran over, only to find that the cover of the vent had been opened, and a red-haired hedgehog was hiding inside, and he stretched out his hand to me:

"Come up."

Now it's my turn to be surprised...

Hiding in the narrow ventilation duct, the two of us slowly wriggled (...) like worms.He seemed to see my dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice:

"It's spacious when you get to the front."

I didn't speak, and grabbed him who was "crawling". He turned his head hard and saw me put my index finger on his lips. He showed a clear expression and calmed down.

"Where the hell are you going!" A rough voice came from under the ventilation pipe.

"Keep looking! I don't believe you can't find her even if you turn the boat over!"

The sound of footsteps gradually weakened, and the red-haired hedgehog couldn't hold back:

"How do you know they're down there?"

"Don't forget my profession." I smiled.

He then made no further sound, and proceeded silently.I followed suit.

【5 minutes later】

The red-haired hedgehog and I were leaning on the top of the highest cabin. He stretched his muscles and bones, while I breathed in the fresh air and watched the people below looking for me with great interest.

"I just saved you." He sat down, so prim that I choked on the air.

"Puff...cough cough...what did you say?!"

"I said I just saved you." He repeated calmly.

"I'd be in the vent without you!" I couldn't help but growl.I want to tear the red-haired hedgehog's face even more.

"Anyway, I saved you." He still insisted on his point of view.

"Well, even if you saved me." I gave up the stupid idea of ​​arguing with him, and cut straight to the point, "What do you want?"

A smile finally appeared on his face, directly surpassing the species, treacherous like a fox:

"I want you to be my use."

"I have to pay..." He raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, so I swallowed the word, "...Let's hear it."

"Help me capture this ship!" He stood up, leaned over and looked at the huge ship, arrogantly like a monarch patrolling his own territory.

"How to seize the law?" I became interested, "Is it necessary to have a boat and a person, or only a boat?"

"As long as the boat!" He turned his back to me, and I couldn't see the expression on his face, but I definitely noticed the cruel and decisive smile on his face, "Others...not one!"

"Of order." I saluted him respectfully, indicating that I was now a weapon in his hands.

The love owed to him when he was young can now be repaid.
