Chapter 93: Hello, Development (2) (2/2)
“You punk Didn’t I say we’re keeping him alive for now? For now But if it’s all a trick, then I’ll kill hih… but we can’t be sure…”
“Tsk, you got balls… I’ll deal with this, so you just shut your ate!”
Red Beard approached Max
“If you’re lying, know that you won’t die peacefully Got it?”
“Y… yes”
Towards the end, Squid had al as Max had wished
After that, Red Beard tried to kill the other sailors, but Max ed to save their lives as he convinced Red Beard that he'd only get the ransom if the sailors were alive Red Beard was happy because today, he had finally heard back that Milton illing to pay the ransouessing a place like an uninhabited island would be best?”
Squid quickly tried to stop him
“No, captain”
“What? Why are you telling ain?”
Red Beard didn’t like Squid constantly saying no to everything he said
But Squid spoke to him desperately
“Captain, you don’t knohat those nobles es like this? What’ll you do if they bring a Knight and try to kill us?”
“Hh he was convinced by Squid, Red Beard nodded
“Now that you mentioned it, I was suspicious about that as well”
‘At least try not to sound like you’re lying’
Red Beard made Squid’s blood pressure rose, but that wasn’t the i Truthfully, Squid was nervous about this whole hostage situation thing, but since it was happening anyway, it was ih as possible
“It’d be best to do it in the sea, Captain Each side will e between hostage and money So that way, even if those bastards tried to trick us, we’ll be able to get away”
“Alright That sounds like a good idea Let’s do that”
Squid let out a sigh of relief at Red Beard’s words But a corner of his brain still thought so
‘I’m still not sure about this’
Squid still felt nervous about this deal, but it wasn’t likely that Red Beard would listen to hih to wake up from deep slumber for it, but it wasn’t more important than his life
“No, I can’t do this It’s a bit early, but let’s carry out the plan”
Squid muttered with a determined expression
The ht with the moon covered by the clouds
Red Beard and his pirates moored their shi+p on the uninhabited island they used as their base and slept Even if they were pirates who lived and died in the sea, they still had to have a base on land The pirates, ere authorized by a country, sometimes used a port as their base, but real(?) pirates like the Red Pirates quietly had their base on an uninhabited island
In order to start their ‘business’ in the region, Red Beard had searched for and taken over a few uninhabited islands as their base Since it wasn’t possible to continue to carry the wealth plundered from other shi+ps on their own shi+p, it was normal to hide the wealth on an uninhabited island and sell them all at once later And when the pirates sink into the sea, that wealth becomes the so-called ‘pirates’ hidden treasures’ Soh uninhabited islands looking for it
Anyway, after stepping on land after a long time, the Red Pirates relaxed First, they iht out a keg to the beach and started roasting meat over a campfire
“Let’s drink and eat as much as ant today!”
“Drink! Drunk! Dead!”
“Wahhh!!”
Handling a shi+p required a high degree of tea, but on the sea, pirates didn’t dare to drink enough alcohol to lose their focus on the sea They never knehen a storht appear So they were always focused But, things were different once they were on land
"Oh oh oh we are seairls love thepirates were so drunk they were full of weak spots No one was standing guard and all of them were drunk
There was no way there could be a threat in this uninhabited island in the middle of the vast sea Okay Normally, there shouldn’t be
“I found the a seagull
“Where are they?”
“They’re on an uninhabited island a bit far away fro”
“So, you’re saying they’re drunk?”
Milton gave a broad smile
This was one of the best opportunities Milton had been worried about hoould find the bastards and rescue Max, the hostage, but if the pirates were all drunk together, then there was no need to worry
“Jerome”
“Yes, My Lord?”
“Ready the soldiers We are a them”
“Understood, My Lord”
“Miss Bianca, you said they were on the uninhibited island’s beach?”
“Yeup”
“Can you guide our shi+p to the other side?”
“Yea, I can do that”
Bianca released the seagull froic and found a dolphin to cast her spell on
On the dolphin’s back glittered the Luuide
“Done, follow it”
“Thank you, Miss Bianca Follow that light”
“Yes, My Lord”
It was risky to travel during the night because the shi+p ht hit a reef, but that wasn’t an issue when Bianca was using the dolphin to guide the a safe path And so, Milton’s shi+p was able to safely travel to the other side of the uninhabited island where the pirates were drinking
