MTL - Never Fade Skull Flag-Chapter 11 real pirate
After Buck left, Roger shook his head and looked at Andy, "It's been a few hours since I was out at sea. You seem to be getting used to it."
Seeing Andy's puzzled look, Roger chuckled lightly.
"When I went out to sea for the first time, I lay in the hammock for three days, and I always felt that the boat was shaking all the time, shaking out the food I ate and the rum I drank, even my stomach, don't you? You'll know how horrible that feels."
"Later, I was catching up with our ship and was attacked by another group of pirates. I killed two people in that battle. It is strange to say that I was so weak that I could hardly walk, but after picking up the machete, I found that I was alive Come here! I cut their necks with a machete and let the blood all over me, and I never got dizzy after that."
"You'll like that feeling, the feeling of the sharp blade cutting through the skin and piercing the flesh, because we're the same kind of people."
Roger had reminiscence in his eyes, and he didn't realize how inappropriate it was that he should say this in front of a fourteen-year-old.
"I've never killed anyone."
Andy said, looking at Roger in front of him, he felt the ill-will emanating from his body.
"Actually, I don't want to kill people either."
"Pirates are all about killing people, or being killed by others, Andy, that's the price of freedom."
Roger's words were like a heavy hammer, smashing directly into Andy's heart.
"The price of freedom?"
"Otherwise?" Roger asked back. "What do you think a pirate is? A group of executioners! Murderers! Robbers at sea!"
"Actually, I just want to take an adventure at sea. There are countless legends and treasures on the ocean. Aren't these more interesting and attractive?"
Andy said that his purpose is this, to learn sailing knowledge on the Goddess of Despair, and when he has enough ability, he will be the captain himself.
"It's too simple for you to think, Andy, the treasures in the ocean are not something we can find, that's what the Pirate King does. As for finding treasures specifically, oh, believe me, no one can find a lot of gold coins. Keep your heart in front of you!"
"Greed, selfish, vicious, unscrupulous."
Roger casually said a few words and took a gulp of rum, "This is a pirate!"
"Those who illegally sail and smuggle are also called pirates."
"They?" Roger laughed, "Andy, those guys are not qualified to be called pirates, real pirates, it's people like us!"
Andy didn't answer, he thought of his father, who once said, "A real pirate may be greedy and selfish, and will do whatever it takes, but he knows what true justice is, has a clear goal, advocates freedom, and is affectionate. Righteous, dare to take risks, even the stormy waves of the sea cannot stop his pace, this is the real pirate."
"Real pirates are gray people. They are not pure, but they are not evil either."
His father is such a person, dedicated to sea exploration, and even became the pirate king of the Rakshasa Sea for a time, but in the end he was captured by the navy of the Eastern Tenglong Empire.
But even so, Andy believed what his father said.
Andy walked to the railing, watching the white waves and the blue water in the distance, the infinitely extending sea and his dream tightly intertwined.
One day, Andy will recruit a group of real pirates, romantic and free, brave and righteous, and take his own pirate ship to adventure in the endless ocean!
But father, Andy won't make your mistakes, and Andy will never be soft on the enemy!
Roger felt the hostility in Andy and laughed lightly. The more he looked at this little guy, the more pleasing he felt. As he said, he knew that Andy was the same kind of person as himself.
When Andy spoke of freedom that day, his tone was full of emotions, and Roger believed that Andy dared to confront and remove anyone who stood in his way in pursuit of freedom.
And Roger is the same, he will not let anyone stop him from obtaining the treasure!
So they are the same kind of people.
"Andy, how is your swordsmanship?"
"It's not bad. In fact, I have practiced three hours a day for ten years."
"Perseverance is good, but the practice is far from enough. The real swordsmanship needs to be honed in blood and fire. If you are interested, I can teach you swordsmanship during this time. My swordsmanship is not bad."
"Of course, if you want to learn hand-to-hand combat, I think I'm good enough to be your teacher."
Andy's eyes lit up, he could feel the horror of Roger, not to mention his physique, that kind of aura alone is not something that ordinary pirates can have. After all, he is the first mate of the Goddess of Despair. where to go?
"Don't you charge anything? Want my rum? As you can see, I still have a small barrel."
"Hahaha, as the first mate, I still have my own stock! Don't worry, I just see your appetite! Your attachment to freedom is something they don't have!"
Roger pointed to the pirates on the deck and sighed.
"But anyway, they're good sailors."
Although the voyage was only a few hours away, UU reading www. uukanshu.com But the sailors have taken care of the goddess of despair in an orderly manner, and they perform their respective duties, only the guys who have changed shifts are just entertaining.
"Yes, good sailor!"
Roger agrees with Andy. They can become part of the Goddess of Despair. All of them are outstanding. It's just that many years of wandering on the ocean have turned them into old fritters, and their dreams have long been exhausted. For them , it is enough to splurge on gold coins.
"Hey, head! Hawkeye caught a golden doll!"
A sailor ran over and said to Roger.
"Oh? Hawkeye is lucky! You can still catch golden dolls in this kind of place. It seems that the captain will reward him well!"
Roger's tone was somewhat envious. A golden doll could be sold to alchemists or nobles for hundreds of gold coins!
Andy didn't know what a golden doll was, but seeing Roger's appearance, he was also curious, so he followed to take a look.
Hawkeye is a lookout, but he gave his job to the new guy, while he was standing leisurely on the deck to fish. He just felt that a fish was hooked, but he didn't want to catch a golden baby.
"It's a gift from God!"
Golden dolls usually live in shallow water where rivers and seas converge, and it is really rare to see them here.
Andy also saw this cute guy, and saw that it was a strange golden-green color, even shining, with black spots all over his body, because he was caught by the eagle eye, and the drum was like a ball at this time, abnormal. round and bloated.
Its fins are covered by its chubby body, and it makes cooing sounds from time to time to threaten the surrounding sailors.
"Is this a green pufferfish?"
Andy exclaimed. He didn't know the green puffer fish was called the golden doll. In fact, some people liked to call it depth charge.
