I Have Accomplished Nothing, So I Can Only Become the Pirate King

Chapter 20: Automatically coming to your door

The sea is vast and endless, and it’s easy to find an island.

  But if you want to find a boat

　　Boom!

The water splashed by the cannonballs splashed near the black-sailed warship. Several cannonballs were approaching the ship in the air, and then a cold light flashed through. The cannonballs were cut horizontally from the middle. Lily jumped from the air to the side deck, and slowly cut the thin The sword is put away.

 “Fire the cannon.”

Following her order, the cannons on the side of the warship fired together, hitting the pursuing warship. One hit the mast, one entered the deck, and several more hit the hull, exploding into clouds of black mist and flames. .

Lily glanced at the warship that had lost its ability to pursue, then turned and walked towards the captain's cabin.

Sage changed into a white pirate shirt that was open to the chest, with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms. He wore a pair of loose trousers, and his boots clung to the trousers. He put one foot on the table in front of him in a lazy posture. Leaning on a chair that looked like a sofa, he still held a wine glass in his left hand, the wine sloshing around with his movements.

 “Which ship is it?”

 He glanced at Lily who came in and asked.

"The second one today, for three consecutive days, we have encountered five warships." Lily said.

Pirate ships are hard to find on the sea, but warships come uninvited.

The navy in the nearby waters seems to have identified Sag. When it sees the black-sailed warship, it is like a mad dog and will not stop chasing it.

“Is there a reward?” Sage asked curiously.

  Lily shook her head: "I've been paying attention to the Newsbird newspapers these days, but I haven't seen our reward order."

"so."

　　Sarge drank all the wine in the glass, slammed it on the table, and said in annoyance: "Why are you chasing so closely!"

 Lily's face was expressionless and silent, but the look in her eyes betrayed her.

 It’s not because of mold

 Normal pirates would not encounter warships every day.

Pirate ships are generally small and fast, and can escape when encountering warships. However, they are also riding warships with the same configuration. They cannot escape when encountering warships, and they can only engage in battle, otherwise time will be lost. It is easy to expose the position and attract more navy.

Sag also understands this, and since he knows his bad luck, it is not surprising at all to encounter the navy every day.

What he wondered was why the navy wanted to chase him.

Even if he takes the blame, he only robbed a few towns. Pirates like this are everywhere in the sea. So many pirates chase him instead of chasing him. This makes Sag very unhappy.

His life has been good these days, I don’t know if it’s good or not.

　　Okay. Being chased by the navy every day and sometimes having trouble sleeping is definitely not a good thing.

 It’s hard to say.

 First of all, there is no need to worry about supplies. The supplies obtained from other warships can ensure navigation, and sometimes we can get some good goods. The food and clothing of these branch naval captains are quite good.

Sage's clothes were obtained from a warship. They were much better than the rags he wore before. He even bought several boxes of good wine.

 The subordinates have also become more experienced due to long-term battles with the navy, especially Lily, who can now kill cannonballs.

 She already had this strength, but her lack of combat experience was quickly made up for by fighting with the navy.

It seems to have some benefits too.

But

 Can’t get any money!

 He became a pirate to make money. Even if he has made a person the best in the world in combat ability, it is only to make money more conveniently!

“Sarge, why don’t we change places? The Black Sail Pirates are not easy to find.”

Lily pursed her lips and hesitated, saying, "Besides, our men have been floating on the sea for a long time, which is not good for morale. We need to find a place to rest."

“I let him live happily and I take the blame? There is no such option. Even if the 23rd branch of the Navy is empty, I still have to find someone!”

Sage waved his hand, but thought about it again, "But you are right, people still have to stay on land, so let's choose a town and let's take a rest. Stop by and ask if there is a black sail. The news of pirates is just floating on the sea, and there is no clue. "

 He cannot focus on others and forget about his own career, which is all up for grabs anyway. If there is no need to rob the economically large towns, then rob the medium-sized towns.

"You think about choosing some islands and let's go grab them. We don't want poor people. They are all miserable and don't have much money. Find a few rich people." Sage said.

"Understand, poor people really don't have much money. I've heard rumors about the Aaron you were looking for before. It is said that his protection fee is very high. The protection fee is 100,000 Baileys a month for adults and 50,000 Baileys a month for children. , this number has already exhausted several villages.”

Lily nodded and stared at Sage for a while. She wanted to open her mouth several times, but after thinking for a long time, she finally backed away.

Sarge picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine. Just as he put the wine glass close to his lips, he was suddenly startled, "Is she trying to say that I am unlucky, so I can't find it?"

 Having a specific location to find, but not having a specific location

 Just like when he was a bounty hunter looking for pirates, there was no one.

 Furthermore, this is an unknown pirate.

When Sage was a bounty hunter, he kept in mind all the people with bounties in the East China Sea. He was characterized by a black robe. He had never seen it in the bounty order. He probably wasn't a famous pirate, or even someone like him. Just debuted.

Sarge is not a stubborn person. Once he realized this, he was also considering whether to give up this goal altogether.

 The East China Sea is so big that there is really no need to hang around in the 23 branch areas. There are still many targets for him to grab. It is a waste of his own time to keep doing this.

He thought for a while, took a sip of wine, leaned back in his chair comfortably, and looked out the window at the rugged sea.

 At least in other businesses, he would not be treated like this. Now he has a younger brother and a secretary. Although they are both low-profile, it can be regarded as an early experience of the life of a landlord in the future.

 …

The island Lily chose is not far from here. It only takes half a day to sail. It is an oval island with many villages inhabiting it and a large town along the coast.

This island has nothing special, it is just an ordinary town. But wherever there are people, there will definitely be rich people. That is Sage's goal.

As for the common people, as Lily said, adults and children can scrape together more than 100,000 beli in a month, and in a few months they can bankrupt the whole family. There is really nothing to grab.

 In fact, what pirates really make money from is robbing merchant ships. The value of a merchant ship's goods is not low, and the risk is low.

 But isn’t this impossible? If it can be solved at sea, why should he bother to find a town?

Although the towns are rich, there is still a certain risk in robbing them. The larger the town, the stronger the defense force. Once entangled, with the support of the navy, it is likely to be trapped there.

But this is not a problem for Sager.

In the East China Sea, as long as he didn't encounter those strong men who came back from patrolling the headquarters, he would have the confidence to escape unscathed.

 At the junction of dusk and night, the black-sailed warship arrived at the town chosen by Lily.

Sage came out of the captain's cabin at this time, looking at the outline of the town that was gradually becoming clear on the railing, and said to Lily beside him:

"After this robbery, we will leave this sea area. The black-sail pirate may have left this sea area long ago, otherwise he would not be missed. Since he is also a pirate, he will definitely make trouble on the sea. Just find another opportunity.”

 Rarely, Lily did not agree with what he said.

She handed the telescope in her hand to Sage, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said strangely: "We seem to have met."

"Um?"

Sage quickly took the telescope and looked straight towards the town. The first thing he saw was a huge house on a high place. The house was brightly lit in the dark, and it looked like a wealthy man.

Looking down, row upon row of houses are located below, and the houses near the coast are emitting gunpowder smoke and blowing westward in the direction of the wind.

Further down, on the sea, where the smoke is blowing, a ship is sailing towards the sea. The ship is a two-masted clipper. Looking through the telescope, you can still see many people on the deck. Then drink.

 As for the mast.

 It just happened to be hung with a black canvas without any flags!

Black sail!

Sage smashed the telescope into pieces, gritted his teeth and said, "Change the course and stop the black sailboat for me!"

 He couldn't find it even if he tried to find it, but instead of looking for it, he came to the door automatically!
