"Shet!" Looking at the burning flames on the match and the long white mark on the powder barrel under his buttocks, Doug finally recovered and cursed with lingering fear. He quickly lifted the hand holding the burning match. Stay away from the powder keg! But...this is awesome! After being frightened, your whole body becomes excited and all your pores open. It is really the best time to enjoy this top-quality cigar!
He imitated the nobility, using a match to toast the cigar evenly, then bit off the head and spit it on the roof of the bilge, the technique of an experienced smoker. [Read full text] He bit the tail of the cigar and lit it beautifully. "Suck~" Doug took a deep breath, letting the breath of the herbs warm his throat, and then spurted it out with a "ha" sound!
That's great! Doug carefully blew out the match and threw it into the dirty water in the bottom warehouse... He didn't want to accidentally light the powder keg under his butt and explode into a brilliant anus!
As for why you have to sit on a powder keg? Although I am a dull middle-aged man, I also have a heart that seeks excitement and is unwilling to settle for peace! Doug was intoxicated with the aroma of Havana cigars and couldn't stop.
"Bang~bang~" Two knocking sounds were heard along the rudder of the ship. This was the secret signal agreed between the captain and him.
But look at how much of the cigar is left, fuck you! Doug decides to ignore the captain's orders and suck just a little longer! It is a sacrilege to burn too quickly for this superb cigar.
"Bang~bang~" After waiting for a while, Mike thought Doug didn't hear it, so he couldn't help but hit the wheel twice.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you smash the rudder?" Lu Yuan suddenly appeared next to him and spoke, scaring him so much that his heart almost jumped out of his chest!
"The wheel...the rudder...is a bit...not big...not big...fast...who the f*ck asked you to come up!" Mike suddenly realized that Lu Yuan was standing behind him. He jumped up in excitement, pointing at the stern and yelling. "Get out of here! Now! Now!"
"Haha, I just came to see the scenery... Don't get excited! Don't get excited!" Lu Yuan waved his hand. He retreated from the poop with a smile.
Mike stared at Lu Yuan fiercely, until he walked down, he still said "Boom! Boom!" in anger, and kicked the platform where the wheel and rudder were installed twice.
"Fuck! You know how to push!" After hearing two heavy sounds from the rudder, Doug finally couldn't continue sitting! He cursed angrily!
He looked at the cigar with regret - I am afraid this is the only chance in my life that I can smoke top-quality Havana cigars! Because smoking is not allowed on board, the most you can do is chew tobacco! And I... really don't have the money or the means to buy such a thing. This is really a fucked up world. And this bullshit rule! He angrily pressed the cigar against the barrel and extinguished it.
"Oh, Shet!!!" Doug watched with cold sweat. There happened to be some gunpowder scattered where he put out the cigar. As a result, the gunpowder was ignited by the hot cigar butt, and a puff of green smoke came out of the gunpowder barrel. …
"Haha~haha~haha~" Doug smiled dryly, so scared that he almost peed! "It's okay...it's okay...it's just a little bit short!" After the smoke dissipated, he saw that the gunpowder had only charred a little bit on the surface of the barrel. The scum that condensed into black was suddenly enveloped in the joy of escaping from death!
"Damn it! I'm lucky! This feeling is really more exciting than having sex with a woman! Hehe~hehehe~" He slumped there and smiled, and suddenly there was another sound of "呲呲" from under his butt, and it was even louder. The green smoke came up...
“holy**!!!”
"Boom!!!" The gunpowder barrel exploded into an orange-red fireball. And the violently expanding smoke! Like a rocket sitting under his butt, Doug rushed straight towards the open bottom transom above his head!
"waaaaaah!!!!"
****
Hearing the noise coming from the bottom cabin, the crewman who had been arranged in advance came out of the second floor cabin in a hurry. He ran around the room five times in one breath, and then rushed onto the deck out of breath. Shouting "Captain! Oh no! We hit a rock! A hole was opened in the bottom of the boat... Huh?" Why is no one surprised? And everyone looks at me weirdly...
"I'm talking about the bottom of the boat. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because damn Doug already told me! He was hiding down there smoking a cigarette. He lit the powder keg and blew it through the bottom of the boat!" Mike angrily kicked the open bottom vent! Looking at the white smoke that was still erupting outwards, I didn't know what to do for a while.
Obviously the script is not like this! asshole!
"Wow! He's so bad!" The guy who reported the news said insincerely, as if he didn't care. In fact, he was shouting in his mind, Damn, the captain’s acting skills are amazing! Look at that noble idiot who was stunned by the bluff! "What about Doug?"
"On top of it!" Mike pointed upward angrily.
The guy who reported the news looked up in confusion and saw something hanging on the main mast. It looked familiar, and it was ticking...
"Ugh~Ugh~~!!" He lay on the railing of the boat and vomited wildly.
Lu Yuan looked at Mike with an ugly face and spread his hands, "What's the situation? We won't sink, will we?"
"It's okay, I promise!" Captain Mike, who was looking down from the vent at the bottom of the cabin, straightened up. "A small hole was opened in the bottom of the ship. We can fix it! But the ship has to stop for a while... we have to clear the hole first. Only when it is blocked can we continue walking."
"Okay... then I'll go back and rest." Lu Yuan covered his nose and pointed to the captain's cabin. There was a smell of burnt meat on the deck, but no one had any appetite.
"It's nothing, don't wake me up." After saying that, he walked towards the captain's cabin calmly.
Mike was behind him, staring with blazing eyes! After enduring it for a while, he turned around angrily and yelled, "Hurry up and take off that burnt steak! How long are you going to let it hang on it!"
**********
After Lu Yuan returned, he lay down and rested directly.
I don't know how long it took, but Lu Yuan vaguely heard several voices coming to the door, which made him wake up quickly. His perception has been enhanced to an extremely keen level. He could clearly feel the malice carried by the people outside the door.
Lu Yuan sat up. He patted his cheek to wake himself up, and then straightened his clothes. Hang up the "Thanatos" stabbing sword and wait quietly.
Sure enough, several people broke in without even knocking on the door! Lu Yuan could be seen sitting there neatly dressed, and Mike, who came in with four people, had a disappointed look on his face.
He waved four people to stand at the hatch, then walked over to Lu Yuan with an anxious face and said exaggeratedly: "Lu, I have to tell you some bad news! We were hijacked by a pirate ship. You know, we are just a pirate ship. Merchant ship. For the lives of all the crew, I had to choose to surrender... Now they want your goods... and your people.
Feel sorry. Lu, this kind of thing is really an accident!
But you have a rich brother-in-law, and as long as he is willing to pay, the pirates will treat you like a god! So...relax man! Look, your face is pale, don’t be like this, just think of it as an adventure! Your brother-in-law will come to your rescue soon.
You know, the most unlucky one is me! Damn, I had no idea this was coming! Not only would I not get any freight, but my ship would probably have to ride in too!
land. We are friends! If you believe me, I will do everything possible to rescue you! I can also bring news to your brother-in-law...if he can help me redeem the boat as well. "
your boat? Lu Yuan sneered in his heart. This 6-star Sloop schooner (valued at most 15,000 pesos) is one of the cheapest small boats. It carries less cargo and has poor combat effectiveness. In addition to being fast and easy to maneuver, it can It's said to be useless.
In this "specially modified luxurious captain's cabin", there are currently six people standing there. It's just as crowded as dancing face to face! When Lu Yuan came in for the first time, he thought it was a toilet! Oh no! Compared with the East India Company's "Bonata" Pinas barque. It's not even as good as the toilet in the captain's cabin!
Besides, you and the pirates are probably on the same team, otherwise why would you not bring a single cannon, and the crew members don’t have any frightened expressions. You also sabotaged the ship yourself, so you probably surrender now and divide the spoils later?
"Have you negotiated?!" By this time, Lu Yuan was impatient and stopped pretending to be a playboy.
"Oh, what?...No." Mike, who suddenly saw Lu Yuan's transformation, could only reply in a daze.
"Are you a fool to surrender without negotiation?! I'll go talk to them. After all, the goods are mine, right? And they still want my people..." After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out. . Four people blocked the door, but it didn't even have any blocking effect! He leaned towards the four people, and when he looked again, he was already outside the door!
Standing behind him, Mike could only sigh in disdain, and then motioned for the four people to follow him.
Mike has done this kind of thing once, negotiation? Stupid noble! So what if you are tough? So what if you beg? The other party is a pirate. If most small businessmen end up in this situation, their only option is to go bankrupt to save their lives. It's just that this guy is not only a noble, but also has a rich brother-in-law, so he can't go too far.
The famous Caribbean method is to increase the reward amount, which can be very fatal! Pirates don't have any sense of moral integrity. As long as the bounty is high enough, they will sell information about their leader to the bottom of their pants.
"I hate the Caribbean!" Mike cursed bitterly, thinking that despite being careful, his reputation was getting worse and worse. My bad reputation is almost spreading to Lisbon!
"Oh, no! I love it here so much!" Lu Yuan's voice came from afar.
*******
Lu Yuan walked onto the deck and saw a large ship that was far larger than Sloop's schooner. It looks like the ship's side is much higher than the other one, and it is close to the "Dugus", as if an adult is bullying a child! The two ships have been completely connected by more than a dozen hook locks, and a simple plank bridge has been built above them.
The pirates on the opposite ship didn't come over, they just gathered there and talked and laughed loudly, without even the slightest sense of tension. They all know that this harvest is three thousand barrels of fine wine and one thousand barrels of tobacco! And it also comes with a super big fat sheep! If the big pirates hadn't been taken away by Morgan, it wouldn't be their turn to do such a good business!
The pirates looked down upon this small boat with only a few dozen people! What's more, except for the unlucky businessman, everyone there is one of our own.
This was the second time Lu Yuan had seen this ship. The last time I was in the Port of Trinidad, when I accompanied Misha to choose a ship, the two of them chose this nearly brand-new five-star ship!
This ship is of the same type as the Tanta sailing ship and the Loop schooner that Lu Yuan has driven before and after. The advantages are the streamlined hull, the longitudinal sail that is easy to maneuver and change direction to catch the wind, the speed far exceeding that of its predecessors, and the good load capacity. The disadvantage is that the hull is relatively thin, and the load capacity is not as good as that of cargo ships of the same class. As for the firepower, it can only be said to be barely adequate!
What Lu Yuan values is its speed. If the difference between the ships is within two stars, those who can beat it cannot outrun it, and those who can outrun it cannot beat it. This ship is definitely too small for long-term use, but as a transitional ship, it is a good choice. What Misha values is the slender and brand-new hull, and the beautifully carved figure of a beautiful girl on the bow, which matches the Siren in her imagination very well!

Lu Yuan patted the scabbard of the "Thanatos" stabbing sword and came to the side of the ship. The pirates on the opposite side saw a guy who looked like the leader suddenly walking out. They gradually stopped making noise and gathered around.
"Hey! Man, who are you? Where's Mike? Haven't you caught that noble idiot yet?"
"I am the noble fool you are talking about. Please come over here, captain, I need a negotiation!" Lu Yuan stood on the side of the ship and shouted loudly, casually shooting the appraisal technique at the pirates holding knives in front of him.
