519 Stepping into a trap (1/2)

Ol’Seadog nodded.

*********************

After a long while, he stepped into the cabin again.

”There isn’t a problem, cap’n. The four children has inherited the shade of their father’s hair and pupils; be lookin’ identical to him. Furthermore, Mister Kayto asks of me, if it be possible, might the cap’n allocate some gold fer him to procure a magical balm. Tis’ balm be known to hail from Saudi Arabia, possessin’ great healing efficacy fer wounds and illnesses. Tis’ be his original words – each ounce of the balm can save ten lives durin’ a crisis.”

Sheyan decisively answered.

”Alright. Take Canbi and Blacksail with ye. Bring along another ten lads. I confer 10,000 guineas unto you, go purchase to its limits.”

Yet another period elapsed. Perfuming with thick scent, an on oil balm was presented to Sheyan where his nightmare imprint notified him.

[ This is a magic ointment manufactured with the fats of a sperm whale in the Sudan Royal Company. Integrated with various essences, when a storyline character utilizes it, their wounds will rapidly cease from bleeding and heal completely within 24 hours. When a contestant utilizes it, receive an additional HP regeneration of +10HP/minutes; duration: 12 hours. This ointment can be used for 50 times ]

A single tin of oil balm had merely costed 300 guineas. Yet noteworthily, Mister Kayto could only purchase 7-8 tins before the stocks were emptied out....

Following that, the pirates who had scattered to taverns and bars returned, while other pirates seeking to join Sheyan’s crew came in an endless stream. However, Sheyan’s crew was already hitting a saturated capacity. Moreover, it was better to employ loyal and obedient underlings, and thus new pirates were enlisted with demanding criterias.

Since that was so, he managed to retain several tens of capable pirates, of which two of them possessed formidable might; ones that were shockingly on the tier of Scarface Harry and Alan Dale!

Evidently, those two possessed either an impressive unique storyline equipment on hand, or an outstanding individual ability. Originally, they acted arrogantly and untamed, yet after witnessing Canbi’s strength and Blacksail’s agility, they became fully convinced.

One of them named Springswan Killer, communicated a clear objective. Upon joining Sheyan’s crew, he directly raised his hopes of gaining enhanced strength through his merits in the future. He possessed abilities in both martial might and magic, where he could control frost. Not only could he enchant weapons with his magic, he could even freeze his enemy’s limbs through direct contact of his hand.

The other pirate was named Prince, an individual who took pride in his fists. He appeared rather brassy and strong, but after getting ruthlessly knocked into place by Canbi, he became slightly well-behaved. His objective for joining the crew, was primarily for the exorbitant booty.

With their entry, Sheyan’s crew once again bolstered their naval boarding battle capabilities. In addition to the ‘Royal Sudan Ointment’, the pirates would also portray greater confidence in such close proximity battles.

Joshamee Gibbs also surprisingly recommended two individuals to Sheyan. Those two individuals weren’t adept in naval combat, but were crucial characters for navigation at sea. Moreover, they were renowned in Tortuga.

The first was a gambler named Spike. Everytime he obtained gold, he would definitely squander everything away at gambling taverns, before borrowing more and proceeding with his prodigal habits. Nevertheless, this individual had an exceptional reputation, and was frequently able to acquire more cash to continue gambling. The reason why he could always find a borrowing source, was due to his exceptional carpentry. This current era was focused on wooden constitution warships, his carpentry skills was definitely one of the best and formidable. Furthermore, Sheyan was coincidentally lacking a talent who could swiftly repair and provide maintenance for his ship.

In order to invite Spike on board, Sheyan had to become his guarantor and paid off his debt; where his expenditure reached an extravagant valuation of 15,000 gold guineas. Such a figure would definitely be a heartache to other captains, but Sheyan didn’t seem to care.

The other character was named Sace, renowned for his expertise in operating the sails. The ships of this era sailed fully reliant on the wind, and a outstanding sail operator would definitely increase the efficiency and speed during voyages.

For a captain that pursued speed, he absolutely couldn’t miss out on him. Still, Sace had an eccentric personality, and his only weakness was his wife; while his wife’s weakness was identical to most plump and obese women...she was extremely greedy.

Hence, to invite Sace, another 10,000 gold guineas leaked out of Sheyan’s finances. By now, the acquired wealth from the gypsies had plunged to a new low, falling from the heights of 6 figure sum. Despite so, Sheyan continued to procure large quantities of special Tortuga merchandises, where he desired to peddle them to Port Royal.

In the end, his pirate underlings attempted to dissuade him one after another, citing that Port Royal was extremely strict when it came to smuggling. Especially after Norrington had assumed the role as defending officer of Port Royal, enforcement was implemented on every aspect impartially. Don’t even mention Sheyan who was a new patron without inside relations, even the tyrant Skrtel’s business had been large affected; resulting in transactions falling by a fold as compared to previously.
