Tonk took another look at the details. It was written in rows of standard printed fonts:
The Black Toad Pirates, active in the Sea of Dreams, recently issued a declaration, claiming that they would go all out to hunt down a new pirate named Tonk. At present, there is very little information about Tonk, only that he is oriental. Newcomer from the East. Can the pirates resist the pursuit of the Black Toad Pirates? This newspaper will continue to follow the development of the incident.
Below was the signature of the newspaper reporter.
| Ding! Your prestige has increased by 10 because of a report, and the bounty has increased to 1000 gold coins. |
When Tonk saw the news, his heart lowed for a while, but he was relieved immediately. Paper cannot contain the fire. As long as all it took is for one person to slip up, the news would leak out. Although the Black Toad Pirates were chasing him, he had planned to leave this sea area.
The major forces in the Sea of Dreams had been finalized and had great limitations. If they wanted to develop rapidly, they could only take risks in more distant seas.
"Was targeted by the black toad, so my life later would be difficult. But the sea is so vast, can you catch me?" Tonk smiled disapprovingly. He threw the newspaper out. The newspaper flew away like a seagull when the sea breeze blew.
After reading the newspaper, Tonk naturally understood why some sailors were laughing and some were crying. The sailors he recruited with the system are tough and loyal. These pirates are not afraid of death, even if the Black Toad Pirates come, they will rush up with their knives. But the newly recruited sailors are different. They are afraid of the notoriety of the black toad.
Tonk signed a contract with the new sailors. If the new sailors broke the contract and left, Tonk could hand over the contract to the police station and recover liquidated damages from the new sailors according to law. The new sailors didn't dare to break the contract, and they didn't want to go out to sea to die, so they naturally cried.
"You are targeted by that Black Toad!!!" a sailor cried out in tears.
Tonk snorted and said loudly: "So what? I have defeated one of them! Let me tell you. Sooner or later, I will take my fleet and wipe out the black toad from this world. By then, it will be my pirate group that will make the headlines!"
The old sailors liked the tone of Tonk. They all cheered: "Long live Captain Tonk!"
Tonk wanted pirates who were like wolves and tigers. If the newcomers were timid, he didn't intend to keep them. The big deal was to earn points by fighting sea monsters, and then use the system to recruit sailors.
"The cowards are not qualified to go to this sea. On this sea, there are storms that sweep everything. There are hidden reefs under the sea. At night, we have to listen to the roar of sea monsters to fall asleep. Black toad is a piece of shit compared with the horror of this sea."
Tonk sternly glanced at the group of trembling new sailors and continued to say fiercely: "I don't need cowards on my ship. If there are people who are afraid, just leave. Don't need to worry about the issue of liquidated damages. I don't have time for a petty profit to delay my sailing. I'm eyeing a big fish. I can make everyone on the boat a fortune as long as I get it!"
More than seventy new sailors fell silent, their hearts beating gongs and drums, constantly struggling. They also wanted to be pirates in order to make a lot of money. They were all thugs, and many of them had been in prison. No one dared to call them cowards.
Under Tonk's watch, the sailors gradually divided into two groups. They had already decided to go or stay.
"I'll stay!" A man with a scar on his face raised his hand and said, "I admire your pride from the bottom of my heart. I am willing to put the mark of the Evil Dragon Pirates on my body and follow you forever!"
"I'll stay too. An old pirate once told me that the leader is the soul of a pirate group and dominates the fate of the entire group. A leader like you is trustworthy."
There were always sailors who expressed their willingness to stay, some of them really wanted to go out to sea for adventure. Some of them were afraid that Tonk would sue them and did not dare to leave.
Another sailor said with great regret, "Dear Captain Tonk, although I am leaving, I will keep in mind your kindness."
Tonk laughed and scolded: "Fuck, if you want to be a coward then don't say nice here. Get out of here." He kicked the man away, and the remaining sailors who were about to leave also left in despair.
As a result, the number of people on board became 77. 1 captain, 1 musketeer, 1 gunner, 21 blade sailors, 2 hook sailors, 10 bowmen, and 41 ordinary sailors.
Tonk had already made inquiries. Nahum's merchant ship would set off three days later. There were two large ships in total. One was a pure warship, and the other was a merchant ship that focuses on cargo capacity. Tonk wanted to use a medium-sized ship to deal with two large ships, which were obviously stretched. One-eyed offered a sly trick. There was a way to defeat the strong with the weak. But they had to go to sea ahead of Nahum.
In order to fight this battle well, Tonk made some special preparations. He bought two large wooden boxes, a bucket of red paint, and some broken wooden boards, and exchanged a lot of copper coins.
The porters carried these things aboard the Black Pearl.
"What are you doing with these things?" a sailor asked inexplicably.
"You will naturally know when the time comes." Tonk patted the sailor's shoulder and said mysteriously.
Tonk also brought the woman named Flora on the boat. In this looting operation, Flora could also play a role. The superstitious sailors muttered that it was bad luck for a woman to go on a boat. They were so determined that they would rather break the contract than go on a boat with a woman.
Afraid of making people panic about this trivial matter, Tonk said solemnly, "Don't treat her as a woman but treat her as a mascot. The fortune-teller said that taking her to sea would bless us with everything."
The sailors were skeptical, but they got on the boat after being frightened by Tonk. However, there were still sailors who regard Flora as the plague and detour when they meet.
On the 15th day of the Sweet Fruit month of 1745 in the Golden Sea Calendar, the Black Pearl finally set sail again after docking for more than two months. Tonk stood on the high sail boom, shouting and commanding the sailors. The anchor was pulled out from the sea with a winch. The cables were untied one by one. The sea breeze was injected into it, providing inexhaustible power to the sailing boat.
The Black Pearl set sail!
Tonk stepped on a brand-new warship and looked towards the end of the sea. The sea appeared circular in his field of vision, like an azure plate. He felt full of passion. There was prey waiting for him in this sea, and the enemy was hunting him.
They drove southeast for a whole day, even the entire Greenland Empire could not see not to mention the Port of Carlin. There was only the vast ocean around. The ship was as small as a leaf in the sky and sea.
In the swaying conference room. Tonk, One-eyed, and the sailors gather.
Only the Flora was arranged in a separate room and did not come out. And the bomb-spitting frog, who almost starved to death again, was chained to the mast. It hadn't been seen for two months. It was still stubbornly alive. During this period, it was taken care of by the shipyard. After all, it was a pet on the guest ship. Its loyalty had dropped to only 1 point. Tonk didn't know what would happen when it became 0.
"One-eyed, tell them about our general plan so that they know something," Tonk said.
One-eyed said a little worriedly, "They just arrived. Can we trust them?"
"The boss who I used to work with once told me that when you treat people with sincerity, others will treat you with sincerity. Guys who hide their hearts everywhere will never get friends." Tonk patted the One-eyed shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter. Tell them all. Since they got on the ship, they have already carried the name of our Evil Dragon Pirates."
One-eyed stopped talking nonsense and walked to the chart, which was erected on a wooden frame and opened like a wall. He pointed to different locations as he spoke.
"As you know, the black toad is our mortal enemy. We are not their opponent now, so we can only choose to avoid the edge for a while."
One-eyed‘s finger circled a sea between Greenland and Dragon Fang.
"The Black Toad's activity area is here. Their boss, Harold, has been rampant for many years. They have many enemies in other sea areas. They are already tied to the Dragon Fang that can't get out easily.."
His fingers drew down.
"This time Nahum is going to the south. After we finish them, we will go directly to the Pirate City to trade the goods. This business will allow us to buy a new ship. After leaving the Pirate City, we will continue south. Or choose a golden route in the east. Our subsequent voyages will gradually stay away from the sphere of influence of the black toad, and grow ourselves as soon as possible."
His downward finger suddenly circled and returned to its original position. He said, "When we return to this sea area, we will make a break with the black toad! At that time, the Sea of Dreams will make room for us!"
Tonk took another look at the details. It was written in rows of standard printed fonts:
