"Captain, the Red Skull ran away!"
A sailor rushed into the captain's room.
"Run away?" Elland raised his monocular telescope and looked at the calm sea in confusion, just in time to see the "Red Skull" disappearing over the horizon.
His brows furrowed, totally confused as to why this development had occurred.
In his opinion, the armed forces of the "White Agate" would definitely not be able to directly scare off the Red Skull Pirates. The two sides would inevitably go around in circles dozens of times and fire multiple volleys before the other side would feel that it could not chew this hard bone and dare not to tangle for a long time, so it would rationally retreat.
Could it be that the Red Skull was just passing by and had no intention of looting? But if they were not looting, why would they enter this channel? This was the place most likely to be blocked by naval fleets and church ships. Even when the four kings and seven generals passed through the nearby waters, they would try to keep a low profile... Ellan was full of doubts and felt that things were not that simple.
Caution can save people from disasters, but one should not be careless... Ireland put away his yellow-brown monoculars and paced back and forth.
He half raised his hand and said to the captain:
“Docked at Bansi Harbor tonight.
"Report the encounter with pirates to the navy and the church."
According to the normal plan, the next stop of the "White Agate" will be the Port of Tiana, and it will probably take three days to arrive at the port at a speed of 13 knots. From the Port of Tiana, it will go directly to the final destination, the capital of the Rorsted Islands, the City of Generosity, Bayam.
There is a faster way to sail from Pritz Port to Bayam, which is to stop only once, at Bansi Port, 120 nautical miles away from Damir Port.

"Has the Red Skull really left?" Donna's father, Uldi Branch, walked to the window and looked into the distance.
Cleves nodded calmly and said:
"Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sailors shouted outside:
"Danger is over! Danger is over!"
After hearing the official confirmation, Donna and Denton finally relaxed and had the courage to go to the window and look at the situation outside.
"Are the Red Skull Pirates very powerful?" Donna opened her eyes wide, looking for the ship that had already moved away.
“Very impressive.” Cleves gave his answer.
"How powerful is it?" Denton asked immediately.
The bodyguard Tigger on the other side trimmed his hair and laughed:
“Even if we don’t count the cannons on the ship and the hundreds of pirates, Captain Johansson and First Mate Anderson alone are very powerful.
"Anderson's nickname is 'One-Eye', and the bounty on his head in the kingdom is 500 pounds. All of us in this room combined, with the help of a few sailors, might be able to defeat him in a skirmish. Johansson, nicknamed 'Sea Wolf', can easily deal with such an opponent. If they board the ship, no one will be able to resist 'Sea Wolf'. His bounty is a full 900 pounds, close to 1,000 pounds!"
"Is this a lot?" Donna was shocked at how powerful "Sea Wolf" and "One-Eye" were, and was surprised at their bounty.
In her impression, her father's annual income was as much as 1,500 pounds!
"A lot. This is the bounty that can be directly exchanged for them or their heads. The items on them and the things they looted also belong to you. The kingdom will buy them at the market price. In addition, you will have the opportunity to get bounties from other countries." Cecil explained, "On the sea, pirates with bounties over 300 pounds are quite powerful. Those close to or exceeding 1,000 pounds are at least famous in the seas where they are located. I mean the Sonia Sea and the Misty Sea."
"So, the Four Kings and Seven Generals are famous in the five seas?" Donna asked naively.
Cleves responded seriously:
"Yes."
"So, the Red Skull Pirates are very famous throughout the Sonia Sea?" Donna asked logically.
"Yes." Teague nodded.
"But why are they running?" Donna blinked.
"It doesn't necessarily mean running..." Cecil himself didn't quite understand the reason.
Cleves looked out the window again, his forehead slightly shaped like a “川”:
"Maybe there are other reasons. Maybe they didn't want to rob this time. They just happened to meet them."
Other reasons? Donna suddenly had a guess in her wild thoughts.
Could it be that Uncle Sparrow's gentle messenger, as tall as a house, had scared them away? Yes, yes! It was really scary! Donna's mind was like boiling water, bubbling.
She turned her head excitedly and looked down, and found that her brother Denton's eyes were also shining.
The two of them pursed their lips at the same time, and immediately realized that the other person was thinking the same thing as they were.
"Let's go out and get some fresh air. It's right on this floor." Donna found an excuse and pulled her brother out of Room 305.
When they got outside, Denton lowered his voice and said:
"We're going to look for Uncle Sparrow?"
"Correct answer!" Donna smiled brightly, "I saw him go into 312 before."
…………
In room 312.
“Flame” Danitz no longer mentioned “Vice Admiral Iceberg” and looked back at the “Red Skull” which had turned its bow. He chuckled and said:
“They must have been frightened by the declaration of the navy’s huge cannons and the news that a pirate group had been destroyed before, so they actually ventured into this waterway to plunder, hoping to make enough money and leave the sea as soon as possible.
"Oh, so what if we have big ships and cannons? The navy and the church have a lot of powerful things that have always existed, and they haven't caused us to stop being pirates. If we can't defeat them head-on, we can always run away, right? They can't always escort those merchant ships, right?
"I know that ironclad ships are getting bigger and bigger, and their steam turbines will become more and more powerful. One day, their speed will exceed 18 or 20 knots. Once we are caught by them, we can only wait to be caught up. But the ocean is so vast that thousands or tens of thousands of ships can't fill a corner. There are still many unexplored seas. No matter what happens, we can hide in those places. Although it is dangerous, there are also opportunities."
This guy is really the talkative type... Don't you think a crazy adventurer wouldn't care about these things at all? Klein retracted his gaze and scanned the room.
His eyes finally fell on his leather suitcase, and he raised his chin towards it:
"Wash the dirty clothes inside."
Danitz, who was about to give a long speech, froze in an instant, and he wished he could burn the entire ship down.
He felt that his anger was like gushing steam, pushing up the floodgates of reason.
Danitz opened his mouth and took a breath, then opened his mouth again and took a breath.
His flushed face softened, and he asked without smiling:
"Everything?"
“Just brush the dirty ones on your coat.” Klein was almost amused by the other party’s suppressed anger, thinking that this was the treatment Danis deserved after robbing an innocent person.
——Inside the suitcase were the clothes he had changed out of last night. As he was feeling a bit lazy, he only scrubbed them clean for the time being.
Stay calm, don't lose control, stay calm, don't lose control... Danitz warned himself several times before walking to Gehrman Sparrow's suitcase, opening it and taking out the clothes that needed to be cleaned.
He had just begun to busy himself in the bathroom when he heard the doorbell jingle.
Klein opened the door and found Donna and Denton, a brother and sister.
"Uncle Sparrow, did I disturb you?" Donna's eyes rolled left and right.
“No.” Klein made way.
The two little guys entered the room and were surprised to see Danitz washing clothes.
"Where is the servant?" Denton asked subconsciously.
“No.” Klein answered for Danitz.
Donna said with a slightly confused look:
"But first class has its own laundry maid, and the fee is calculated by the bucket."
Before she finished her words, Danitz froze.
He was so angry before that he actually forgot about this matter.
Danitz shook off the water droplets on his hands, turned around, forced a smile, and said to Gehrman Sparrow:
"Can I ask the laundry maid for help?"
Klein had no intention of seeing the other party embarrassed, so he smiled and said:
“I only care about the results.”
Phew, Danitz was obviously relieved.
Donna sensed something was wrong with their conversation, and the little girl said suspiciously:
"Uncle Sparrow, aren't you friends? He, why does he look different from before?!"
Klein found a chair and sat down. Without disguising himself, he said calmly:
"To be precise, he is my prisoner of war."
"Prisoners of war?" Denton looked around blankly, not remembering any conflict between his two uncles.
Donna was confused at first, then something came to her mind and she asked happily:
"He is, he is a pirate?"
“Yeah.” Klein nodded slightly.
"Were the Red Skull Pirates also scared away by you, Uncle Sparrow?" Donna asked excitedly.
Klein glanced at Danitz and replied expressionlessly:
“I guess so.”
Donna was extremely satisfied that all her doubts were answered. She glanced at Danitz and unconsciously lowered her voice:
"Uncle Sparrow, does he have a name? No, does he have a bounty?"
No! I can't let anyone know that I've had this experience! Danitz opened his mouth and answered first:
"My name is Zig!"
At this time, Klein said lightly:
"Danis."
“Danis…” Donna and Denton looked at each other and didn’t ask any more questions.
The brother and sister said goodbye and left after not staying for long. They always felt that the pirate had a fierce look in his eyes.
Back in room 305, seeing Dad and Uncle Cleves still discussing, Donna pretended to be naive and interrupted:
"A lot of people were discussing pirates just now. Did they mention Danitz? Is he very powerful?"
“Danitz… ‘Flame’ Danitz, he is a subordinate of ‘Vice Admiral Iceberg’ and the fourth boatswain of the ‘Golden Dream’…” Cleves answered simply.
Having said this, he suddenly fell silent, his eyes retracted, as if he was recalling something.
The pirate general's men... Donna asked curiously:
"How much is his reward?"
Cleves returned to normal and spoke in a low voice:
"3,000 pounds."
Three, three thousand pounds? Donna and Denton's mouths opened a little, and they almost forgot to close them.
The captain of the Red Skull only offered a reward of 900 pounds, but the guy who looked like a servant just now was worth 3,000 pounds? The brother and sister looked at each other, speechless.
…………
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the White Agate entered the port again.
“Bansi Port? Ireland is very cautious…” Danitz said as he stood by the window, looking at the already dim port and the tall lighthouse.
Without waiting for Klein to respond, he laughed to himself:
“There seem to be some bad legends here.”
