Chapter 221 – The Pudding Pirates Are Setting Sail
Slaves wearing blindfolds and chains, and countless treasures of gold and silver.
‘Was that fat guy a pretty successful slave trader?’
For all that, it seems like a small amount of money was spent on escorting, but…
“Uuuuu. Oof.”
‘Let’s see. A slave who seems valuable…’
Rather than looking at the treasures, I first looked at the slaves to see if they had hearts.
‘There is!’
Whopping! Heart 4 stars!
Although his clothes are made of straw, you can just look at him and see that he has old-fashioned silver hair and a small face that can be easily covered with just the palm of my hand. There was quite a bit of growth in the chest and buttocks.
At first glance, it seemed like she was a noble or royal beautiful slave with a story behind her.
Just as she was thinking about what to do with her. She suddenly heard a noise outside her warehouse.
“This way! Why is the little pig fainting!”
‘Oh, my…’
An angry female voice coming from outside.
It seems that the pirate sisters have killed all the sailors on the deck.
If they find out I’m here, I’ll definitely be in trouble.
It seemed right to go into hiding and hide.
-Boom!
“Here!”
“Huh!? Awesome! It’s full of treasures!”
“I see slaves too. Was that pig a slave trader?”
“Kkeuk. I think the fat bastard ran away from the continent and caught us.”
“Somehow, the crew members on the escort ship were all weaklings, and they ran away?”
I also nodded at their words.
‘Uhm. He ran away.’
After listening to the pirate sisters, I could understand why the quality of the escort crew was inferior compared to gold coins and jewels.
Since my sisters had done a lot of pirate work, I knew very well what the situation was like.
“I got lucky from the first loot?”
“That’s right.”
“Come on! Let’s quickly rob everything and get out! Take all the slaves and sell them for a high price! One ship was completely lost in the sea… But we still captured two ships! We are now escaping from the cramped small ship!”
“That’s right!!”
The pirate sisters were all dreaming of a future aboard a good sailing ship.
‘But… If I board a medium-sized ship… Do I have to redecorate my room again?’
I worked hard on the design, but it was a little disappointing to think that the small ship would be abandoned.
“Oh… Are we now going to become pirates with multiple ships?”
“You don’t know that, but it’s because the captain has the heart. Before you came, we had hit the jackpot a few times like this. Instead of repairing the captured ships, we sold them all.”
“What? Captain? Why!?”
“Well, I don’t know either.”
Everyone was expressing doubts about the captain’s judgment.
“They said they captured a lot of ships and sold them. Then there would be a lot of gold coins. There is still one pirate ship. That’s a Cog ship.”
“Maybe the captain… Has hidden a huge amount of gold coins without us knowing…”
“Maybe. Otherwise, where would all the gold coins have gone?”
“Did we hide it secretly.?”
The pirate crew here now has a captain. He even said that he had backing money.
I could see the eyes of some sailors changing at those words.
“Keuhum! First! Let’s all come back! We got everything we got!”
“That’s right! Take out all the slaves! Return to the pirate ship!”
“Take off the blindfolds on the slaves! If you walk, you will fall into the sea!”
Like that, the pirate crew watched each other, took the loot, and left the warehouse.
***
“Look at this, Captain! It’s a huge gold coin!”
They were pirates who took the loot from the warehouse of the upper ship and returned to the small ship.
I carefully passed among the sailors in stealth mode.
“For some reason, I had a good feeling from the moment I set off~”
“That’s right!”
They were all pirates who were happy and celebrating their victory.
“Captain, what should we do with these slaves?”
“Put them all in the ship’s cabin. We’ll return to the port and sell the slaves along with the captured ships.”
“I understand, captain.”
The Corg Ship, a pirate ship, was the smallest sailing ship among ships, so it was not possible to build a separate prison.
So, the assistant room was used like a prison.
“Chico! Before you toast, leave the slaves in the passenger compartment!”
“Ah. Annoying.!”
Chico, who was in charge of leading the slaves, showed a dissatisfied expression and pulled tightly on the ropes that bound the slaves.
“Follow me quickly!”
Guided by Chico’s strong power, the slaves entered the ship one after another.
As he got closer to the assistant room, Chico let go of the rope and pointed to the entrance to the assistant room.
“Now, go into that room one by one. If you make any trouble, I will kill you on the spot. Don’t think about unnecessary things.”
“Ugh.”
“Big.”
The expressions of the slaves, whose hands were tied with mouth covers, were filled with despair.
Even the slaves knew very well what kind of place the assistant room was.
It is one of the most difficult tasks in slavery.
It was a life of looking at wooden planks for the rest of my life and then dying.
Even Chico, who was in charge of leading the slaves, was reluctant to enter the assistant room.
As he pushed the slaves one by one into the passenger compartment, he kicked the last silver-haired woman into the room and climbed onto the deck.
“Turn it off!”
The female slave fell to the floor helplessly and went into the assistant room.
“Eupeup. Black.”
With her slender body, it seemed to anyone that she could not work at sea.
Perhaps she knew that she, a slave, was now left with nothing but a hellish life.
She stood with her head down, frustrated.
“It’s finally here.”
“Blah blah. Tsk.”
The silver-haired slave lifted her head from the floor where she fell at the sound of a man’s voice.
What came into her tearful eyes was not the assistant room she had imagined.
“I was waiting for you. 4-star lady.”
A man wearing neat clothes.
And a plan for a pleasant environment.
The assistant’s room felt like the room used by the captain.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
A strange man extending his hand to a slave.
The silver-haired slave girl looked at the man’s hand while crying.
***
“Miss. Everything was a failure except the first time.”
“So. Are all the kids coming out of the Masuna Empire just beggars?”
The Pudding Pirates, who were pirating in the Masuna Sea, did not make much profit except for the first ship they plundered.
He spent every day on the sea and fled as soon as he saw a ship from the Masuna Empire.
“But we brought a lot of boats.”
“I think we’ll get about 2,000 goals at this rate?”
We returned to 13 Small Stadi Port with only half-wrecked sailing ships in tow.
In order to immediately convert the captured ships into gold, the Pudding Pirates headed to the shipyard first.
“1100 gold. I can’t give you more than this.”
“Huh? Owner, there are 4 boats, isn’t that too cheap?”
“Look. If you pierce the entire side like this, it can’t be used as a ship. Except for the sails and intact wooden planks, it would be better to discard it.”
“Like that.”
The pirates were all disappointed.
I thought I had earned quite a bit, but when I actually got to the port, I didn’t actually get much.
“I’ll pass it to 1100.”
“Good choice. Captain of the Pudding Pirates.”
However, unlike other pirates, the captain looked calm and turned away after receiving the gold.
“Everyone gathers on the ship.”
“Yes, Captain.”
“Umm.”
The captain left the shipyard ahead of time, and the pirates belatedly followed in his footsteps.
“There are so many crew members. Ugh.”
“That’s right, put 1,100 gold on someone’s nose.”
“I didn’t become a pirate just to touch these little gold coins…”
Everyone looked at the captain’s back ahead in the distance with regret.
“More than half of those gold coins belong to the captain.”
“So. What falls to us is… 550 goals. If you include the slaves and gold coins on the ship, about 700 to 800 goals will fall to us.”
“With that money, all of us can go to Changgwan and have fun for a day or two.”
“If you’re unlucky, you might not even get that. If you buy a mid-sized sailboat, you’ll be like soggy bread for a while.”
“Damn.!”
Discontent began to grow among the poor pirates.
***
It got dark, and the Pudding Pirates decided to spend the night in the port.
It became a night when most of the Pudding Pirates’ crew gathered at a bar and drank until their noses were crooked.
“I’m going into the captain’s cabin.”
“Already, Captain?”
The navigator and deckmaster next to the captain got up together as they saw the captain get up first.
“I’m going alone. You two can drink more and take care of the others.”
“Understood, Captain.”
Several sailors were seen going out, following the captain who got up first.
The sailors following the captain seemed to have different goals than the captain.
“Are you sure? The captain has a lot of gold coins saved.”
Three sailors following behind without the captain knowing.
“That’s right.! I heard with my own two ears that we were secretly hiding the gold coins we risked our lives to save!”
“If you’re going alone now, are you going to look at the gold coins you’ve secretly saved?”
“Yes! If we just find out where it’s hidden this time… We, too, can become rich.”
“Okay. I believe it.”
The three pirates quietly followed the captain.
The captain went up to his ship and headed straight to the captain’s room.
And with the door to the captain’s cabin open, I heard the sound of something being taken out.
-Jalang.
“This will be enough.”
The captain took out a money bag the size of his face and left the captain’s cabin.
The eyes of the three people who had been quietly watching the captain go down from the ship widened.
“Look… Did you see it?”
“Oh! That’s a huge bag of money!”
“Captain… I didn’t see it that way, but he was stealing gold coins without our knowledge.”
“Let’s hurry… Let’s hurry! We have to look at the hiding place!”
“That’s right! Let’s follow quickly!”
The three also got off the ship and followed the captain.
And behind them, another man was watching quietly.
“Hmm… Are the rumors true?”
That man is Park Ja-geun.
As Jageun was inside the looted warehouse, he expected something to happen soon.
“That’s right. I never thought there would be sailors looking for the captain’s gold so soon. Are they also pirates?”
Perhaps because he was a pirate who did not understand the law, betraying his captain seemed natural.
“Anyway, I can’t let the captain get hurt.”
Jageun hid himself in the darkness again and followed the three sailors.
