Steve bit his pipe and looked seriously at the change of expression on Jiang Linxian's face.
After staring closely for a moment, he found that there was no clue, so he showed a hypocritical smile: "The trident on your arm has an extraordinary origin."
As Steve spoke, he put away the black flintlock gun and inserted it into his wide belt.
"It is rumored that only creatures that can come out of the Triangle of Death will have such mysterious marks."
"Actually, I don't know how dangerous the Death Triangle is." Jiang Linxian shook his head.
Steve looked at him and smiled coquettishly: "I can see that, Jack."
"You are like a novice pirate..." Steve said without thinking: "It is common for veterans who are wandering on the sea to break into the Death Triangle."
"Besides, your skin doesn't look like that of an old pirate who has been through the sea for a long time."
"I admit, I am a novice." Jiang Linxian responded calmly, his arms shaking slightly, showing a look of yearning: "I have always been full of yearning for pirates and like their freedom."
"So I spent a lot of money to hire some old sailors and let them accompany me as pirates."
"It's just that on the way to the sea, we met real pirates."
At this point, the emotion on Jiang Linxian's face began to change, making Steve on the side unable to see any flaws: "When we are forced into a desperate situation, we can only take risks."
"So under the helm of the veteran sailor on the ship, our ship was forced into the Triangle of Death, which also enabled us to successfully escape the pursuing pirates."
"After entering the Death Triangle, thick fog trapped us, making it difficult for us to see the direction."
"The navigational needle has also lost its function."
"We were also attacked by sea monsters and the ship was damaged. As a last resort, we had to leave in a spare boat."
When Jiang Linxian said this, he showed confusion: "I fell asleep after that."
"As I said before, we came to this small island."
Steve was smoking his pipe while thinking about Jiang Linxian's words, and there was no change in his expression.
It seemed that he was just listening to a very ordinary little story.
In the Sea of Chaos, every great pirate has his or her legendary story, some mysterious and weird, some wonderful. They are like epic works, circulating in the Sea of Chaos.
It's just that some pirates' epic writings will suddenly come to an abrupt end and disappear at sea.
"It is worthy of being a creature cared for by Natis, the ghost of the sea." Steve said very deeply.
He raised his head, looked at Jiang Linxian, smiled deeply, and then burst into laughter.
Jiang Linxian was a little overwhelmed by his sudden nervousness.
Could it be that Captain Steve, like himself, is somewhat mentally ill?
"But your yearning is just a bubble after all." Steve smiled and suddenly put a hand on Jiang Linxian's shoulder.
The latter's body suddenly shook.
This was not because he was frightened, but because he was not used to a tall and thick man putting his arm on his shoulders like this.
It gave him a little flare-up of his illness.
Steve saw it, but didn't say much, and continued: "The life of a pirate is like a feast of the weak and the strong, and even more cruel."
"If you are not careful, you will become food in the mouths of other pirates."
"You are lucky to have met me."
Steve lowered his arms and continued, "Would you be interested in becoming a member of my Dauntless?"
Jiang Linxian was stunned, wondering why Steve spoke like this.
"The creatures that can come out of the Triangle of Death are all creatures that are affected by the ghosts and gods of the sea."
"With you on our ship, the sea ghost Natis will definitely not send sea monsters to attack our ship."
Steve didn't show off and directly stated the reason: "This is why I didn't execute you immediately and threw you into the sea to feed the fish."
Jiang Linxian thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "What if I refuse?"
"Reject?" Steve chuckled, pulled out the flintlock gun from his waist, and instantly pressed it against his forehead: "Then I will lock you in the damp, dark and dark bottom of the boat."
"Let's see how you learn to choose."
Jiang Linxian's originally calm expression instantly revealed a smile, and he said without hesitation: "I am happy to be your subordinate."
"Being a real pirate has always been my dream."
"What a smart little guy." Steve took out the cigarette butt from his mouth and blew out a smoke ring.
He glanced at Jiang Linxian again: "Don't try to escape again by being clever, otherwise I will imprison you in a water cage."
"That feeling is not pleasant."
"Of course not." Jiang Linxian said with firm eyes.
Steve stopped talking and turned to leave.
Jiang Linxian flicked his wrist and sat on the sand.
The pirate on the side also sat down.
He was about to open his mouth to celebrate Jiang Linxian, but was kicked away by the man next to him.
The fist was already on his face.
"Fuck you! How dare you lie to me!"
Jiang Linxian's face was ashen, and he relied on his powerful nightmare-level strength to beat up the terrifying-level pirates around him.
The trident on his arm, under Captain Steve's explanation, was completely different from what the pirate said.
Now that he lost the restraints of the rope, he naturally wanted to beat up the old man in front of him.
After he calmed down, Jiang Linxian sat down again.
The bruised and swollen pirate covered his painful body, sat on the other side, gritted his teeth and said, "The first rule of survival at sea: don't believe the lies of any creature easily."
"It seems that you are indeed a fledgling that has just left the sea."
"Although I am just a young bird, I can still beat you until you have no room to take action." Jiang Linxian said coldly.
The pirate snorted and said no more.
Jiang Linxian was about to say something more, but suddenly closed his mouth.
"Don't believe any creature's lies easily..."
Maybe Steve was lying to me just now...
The more Jiang Linxian thought about it, the more wrong he became.
It always felt like Steve had other motives for keeping him, rather than just because he was involved in the sea ghost Nadis as he said on the surface.
It seems that we still have to find a chance to escape.
Jiang Linxian made a decision in his heart.
The pirate next to him stretched out his wine bottle and handed it to Jiang Linxian's chest.
"Want some?"
Jiang Linxian held a handful of fine sand in his hand and shook his head.
The pirate smiled, took back his hand, took a few sips from the wine bottle.
"By the way, my name is Tom Hamis, and I came to the Dauntless a year ago." The pirate said after taking a few sips of wine.
"Are you still angry?"
Jiang Linxian looked at him and did not answer the question, but asked curiously: "Why did you join the Fearless?"
Hearing Jiang Linxian ask, Tom fell into memories: "I originally lived in the small sea town of Mia Laner."
"A year ago, a nobleman came from the capital of the empire."
"This nobleman acted recklessly in our little sea town. At that time, I saw him snatching a young girl in the street. I couldn't stand it, so I intervened to stop him and had a conflict with the imperial nobleman."
When Thom said this, he showed a self-deprecating smile: "In the end, the noble sent troops to arrest me, saying that I was a pirate, and prepared to execute me."
"Fortunately, a friend secretly helped me out. I escaped and got on a boat to go to sea."
"At sea, I met the Intrepid, aka Captain Steve."
"After he heard my story, he let me stay on the boat."
Thom looked at him with a smile and said, "Pirates are not necessarily born evil. Sometimes they are forced to do nothing."
Jiang Linxian did not answer, and his expression did not even change: "The first rule of survival at sea: don't easily believe the lies of any creature..."
When Tom heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Learn and apply."
"Okay, Jack, I'm going to bed." Tom shook his head helplessly, lay down on the sofa, and fell asleep after a while.
Jiang Linxian closed his eyes and leaned against the trunk of the coconut tree.
After an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked at the sleeping pirates around him and stood up slowly.
He passed the night boy, searching the dark night with his dark eyes, and finally landed on Steve, who was lying on a couch not far away.
At this moment, he was snoring. Only the one-eyed parrot was shaking its head in the darkness. Jiang Linxian could hear Steve's snoring even from a long distance away.
good chance.
Jiang Linxian tiptoed, squatting down as much as possible and moving forward.
On the beach, several wooden boats were stranded on the beach.
Jiang Linxian was overjoyed and soon came to the boat.
He slowly pushed the boat to prepare to launch into the sea.
boom!
A gunshot rang out on the beach, echoing in the night sky with the sound of the tide.
The sand on the beach where Jiang Linxian was just about to move forward suddenly flew out into a pool of fine sand.
The friction sound of a bullet penetrating the sand made his body suddenly stop.
Jiang Linxian turned back violently.
At some point, Steve appeared behind him silently.
It was blowing the smoke from the flintlock muzzle.
The gunshot woke up the sleeping pirates on the beach.
They stood up one after another, looked around, and finally saw Steve and Jiang Linxian.
Judging from the situation, I don't know what Jiang Linxian wants to do.
"Jack, you seem to be disobedient."
Steve smiled grimly.
Jiang Linxian quickly pushed the boat into the sea without saying a word.
Powerful ghost power squeezed in from all directions, even Jiang Linxian, who was in the early stage of nightmare level, felt uncomfortable.
Huge pressure fell from the sky, and Steve turned into a ghost and landed directly on the boat that Jiang Linxian pushed into the sea, causing a huge wave.
The small boat was directly cut in half by his ghost energy.
Jiang Linxian looked serious, drew out the Soul Slayer Ghost Stick, and slashed directly at Steve.
The power of one blow, the blood sacrifice, and the unrivaled sword dodge were thrown out together, hoping to kill Steve with one blow.
The latter also felt the sudden increase in ghost power in Jiang Linxian.
But it was too late.
Jiang Linxian's soul-destroying ghost stick had already slashed towards him, instantly splitting him in half.
From his body, a large amount of black blood spilled into the sea water.
"It's done!" Seeing that this trick worked, Jiang Linxian stopped staying and rushed to another small wooden boat, preparing to drag it into the sea and leave.
boom!
Huge pressure fell from the sky again.
Steve still stepped on the small wooden boat that Jiang Linxian wanted to push away, as if a ghost had arrived.
The little wooden boat turned into sawdust again.
Jiang Linxian's eyes were full of surprise, and his heart was extremely horrified.
He quickly turned his head and looked back.
It was discovered that Steve's body, which he had just chopped in half, had disappeared.
When he turned back again to escape, Steve's flintlock muzzle was already pressed against his head.
"I didn't expect you to be quite naughty." There was no anger on Steve's face, just a sneer.
"This is impossible..." Jiang Linxian's mind was quickly recalling the scene of the blow just now. That blow was perfect, without a single flaw.
Moreover, that blow hit Steve right in the heart, and there was no way he could survive.
To put it bluntly, even if he was not dead, he would not be able to recover so quickly and intercept himself.
But there is no use in thinking about this now.
Now he has Steve holding a gun to his head.
Jiang Linxian could only let go of his hands on the small wooden boat, stand up straight, and show a faint smile: "I just want to test the quality of these wooden boats."
"After your two demonstrations, I found that the quality is still a little bit behind."
Steve chuckled lightly and tied Jiang Linxian up directly without saying any more nonsense...
The night passed quickly, and Jiang Linxian was tied to a tree trunk for the entire night.
At noon the next day, it seemed that the repair of the Dauntless had been completed, and pirates began to board the pirate ship one after another.
Jiang Linxian was tied up by several pirates and boarded a ship, and then thrown into a water cage.
The water cage hangs from the side of the pirate ship, half submerged in the deep sea.
Half of Jiang Linxian's body was also soaked in the sea water along with the water cage.
As the pirate ship moved forward rapidly, the huge sea water pressure kept washing over his body.
There was even a lot of sea water washing into his mouth.
The salty and bitter sea water made his body tremble violently, and Jiang Linxian was about to go crazy.
Under the influence of obsessive-compulsive disorder, his body reacted greatly.
It seemed like he hadn't had such a violent reaction in a long time.
When the sun was about to set, the water cage was pulled up.
Jiang Linxian rolled from the water cage onto the deck full of dirty water.
Steve stood in front of him, holding the thick belt around his waist with both hands, looking down at his trembling body, without any mercy in his eyes.
"The smell of the water cage is unpleasant."
Jiang Linxian said nothing and slowly restrained the shaking of his body.
Steve motioned to the pirates on the side to give Jiang Linxian some clean clothes, then turned and walked into the captain's room.
After Jiang Linxian changed his clothes, he was still tied up with hemp rope and thrown into a dark and damp room.
It has become very dark outside.
Jiang Linxian was lying on a relatively clean wooden wall, thinking about how to kill Steve.
[Steve enshrined his heart on Alcatraz Island. It is basically impossible to kill him]
[Unless you can go to Alcatraz Island, find his heart, and destroy it. 】
"Alcatraz?" Jiang Linxian frowned: "Could it be that Steve signed a contract with the devil?"
