Chapter 114 - Black Sail XIX (2/2)

“I don’t think so. Aren’t you supposed to be worried about Goodwin? I heard he has more than half the crew on his side. Soon, he will start challenging your authority.”

“He’s just a clown. Let’s talk about something else. Do you know that a disciple of yours is kind of close to Frazer? I heard he was his debt collector.”

“So?”

“Did you really think that Frazer quit the pirate’s life and simply retired? If I remember correctly, you were the one who suggested that he should be killed.”

“And I remember that you were the one who defended him.”

“You know I was left with no other options. You have to admit that he was a great influence during that time. Though we forged an immunity letter from the queen, a large number of pirates were still on his side. Out safety would be greatly threatened if we killed him in front of everyone.”

“It doesn’t matter anymore. The past is the past. I’m getting ready to retire as well.”

“We will miss you. I will tell my kids when they grow up, that I was granted the opportunity to sail alongside the best boatswain of the fleet!”

“I will also tell my granddaughter that I used to sail with the most boring helmsman. All he did was talk bulls.h.i.+t beside me.”

“Oh, and send my regards to Koror.”

After that, Orff gave Rothko a pat on the back and left him alone.

….

Three months pa.s.sed.

The raids were longer this time, and so was their voyage, and when they finally returned to Na.s.sau, Rothko had been teaching Zhang Heng everything he knew for a good four months. Rothko saved up enough to travel to England and buy a gift for his daughter. Before leaving the grounds of Na.s.sau, he informed the captain that he wished to retire.

Zhang Heng checked on his character panel and found that the skill, maneuvering sails, was not listed. Everything that he learned so far was all categorized under sailing. It was now LV 1. Other than that, his knife skills had also increased to LV 1. At this rate, he was most definitely better than most of the pirates on his vessel. Although beating Owen was still out of the question, he was good enough to have a sparing session with him if he was willing to shave some points.

Nevertheless, Zhang Heng was content with everything that he achieved so far. On the other hand, the same couldn’t be said for Anne.
