MTL - Never Fade Skull Flag-Chapter 57 legend of the sea
Hearing this, the pirates put down the dice in their hands and ran up to the deck.
At this time, Andy had just pulled his prey onto the boat. It was a nearly one-meter-long mackerel, also called mackerel, with delicious meat.
The mackerel fluttered constantly on the deck, and Margaret squatted aside, thinking about how to cook such a big fish at night.
"Bosun, why is there a woman on the boat?"
A pirate with pigtails stepped forward and stared at Margaret, his voice a little hoarse.
Only then did Margaret notice that more than a dozen pirates ran out of the cabin, all of them looking at her fiercely, feeling that the situation was not good, and Margaret took a few steps back in the direction of Andler.
As for why Andler?
Didn't you hear the pirate calling him the bosun? As for Andy's little one, he's definitely not as powerful as the sailor.
Andler glanced at Xiaopi and said softly, "Rivers, just do your own thing. It seems that there is no need for me to report to you whoever is on board."
Although Andler was injured, his aura was still there. Rivers opened his mouth, his face flushed, but he couldn't say anything.
Margaret's eyes lit up, standing beside Ander, looking at his high nose bridge and deep eyes, the corners of her mouth opened an arc.
"But now there's an extra woman on board! God, a woman on board will bring us disaster!"
"No, storms and waves will take extra care of ships with women!"
The pirates behind Rivers whispered, but said it loudly on purpose. Anyway, there are many of them, and Andler has a good temper, so they are not afraid of anything.
Roger motioned for the helmsman to take over his job, jumped down from the poop, and shouted loudly, "You idiots, why don't you rest down and run up to make a noise? Do you want to be tied to the mast to expose yourself to the sun!"
"Boss! You came just in time, look at her, she is a woman!"
Roger's face darkened, I was neither blind nor stupid, how could he not know she was a woman?
"Go back to me. This woman was ordered by the captain to stay on the ship. If you have any questions, you can go to the captain and talk to him in person!"
The pirates were silent, and Rivers shivered. He didn't know what he was muttering, and he and the pirates turned their heads and went back to the cabin.
"There will be disasters, there will be!"
The old gunner Mute took a deep look at Margaret, sighed, and walked back tremblingly with the jug.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Roger walked to the deck, habitually wanted to take off his pants, but remembered that Margaret was still here, he tidied his clothes in embarrassment, walked to the other side of the poop, and confirmed that Margaret could not see here. , before taking off his pants and starting to drain the water.
The remaining three were a little embarrassed, and Margaret's face was a little red. Andler and Andy looked at the fishing rod as if they didn't notice what was going on here. The sound of the mackerel slamming on the deck broke this strange situation. .
"You dead fish, I will bake you tonight!"
Margaret said angrily and asked casually, "Why don't they like me on the boat?"
"It has something to do with some ocean legends, and women are more troublesome on ships. Pirates don't like trouble."
Andy thought for a while and replied, there is also a saying in the East, because women bleed every month, so bringing women on the boat will bring a disaster of blood, which is unlucky.
And men are very casual about personal hygiene, they can even stand on the bow and let the water downwind, but girls can't.
Moreover, women have to wash frequently, and on special days they cannot go into the sea or get wet, and their fighting power is generally lower than that of men. This also causes a large number of pirates to be resistant to taking women to sea.
"There are many legends in the ocean, most of which are that pirates were cursed by evil witches and finally died in the ocean."
Andler took the call and chuckled, judging from his appearance, he didn't believe in these legends.
"But there is a legend that may be true. It is said that a long time ago, a great pirate king dreamed of a beautiful woman for several days while sailing. The woman kept sending him to an island on the map. The pirates felt that this It was the instructions of the gods, so I changed course and went to the small island."
Andy and Margaret both listened quietly. This marine legend is still very attractive to them.
"When they arrived, they found that there were countless gold coins and jewels on the island, gold and silver mountains, gem lakes, emerald forests, and even at night, the island would emit colorful lights, which could be compared with all the imperial wealth in the world. Add up the wealth of the same."
Andy raised his brows, is there really such an island in the world?
"And then! Did they take away the gold coins and jewels?"
Margaret asked.
"Of course not. With so much wealth, even the pirate king's ship couldn't hold it. They stayed there, enjoying rum and barbecue to the fullest in the evening."
"And when they woke up the next day...the pirates found that their ships had rotted, their artillery had rusted, and even the sealed food had stinked, as if they had slept for decades."
"how so?"
Margaret exclaimed, her face even more curious.
"The jewels on the pirate king's ship were brought to the beach by the waves. Except for the wealth, everything else had rotted away, and the pirates in that ship had also slowly turned into dead bones due to lack of food."
Andler sighed, pulled up the fishing rod, and a small squid was wrapped around it.
"After that, the pirates thought that women's guidance was a harbinger of disaster, and gradually it became impossible to bring women on board."
Andy and Margaret were stunned, didn't expect the story to end here?
"What about that island? There can't be such an island in the world, right?"
Andy asked.
Andler smiled and shook his head, "I said, this legend is possible, because such an island really exists in the world!"
Really...exist? !
What kind of power can make an island full of gold and silver mountains? Can all things decay except jewelry?
The squid on the deck spat out a mouthful of ink and slowly moved to the other side, trying to climb back into the sea along the railing.
Andler turned sharply, and a dagger flew out, pinning the squid on the deck.
He said in a low voice, "In the central sea area, there is such an island, but it is surrounded by a curse. Anyone who gets close to the island will quickly grow old and turn into dead bones when they step on the island."
"That island full of the curse of aging is called... Treasure Island!"
