Pirate System

Tangke walked down the stairs to the dim cabin, where there was a musty smell in addition to the sea smell. Oil lamps hung from the top of the cabin, emitting a greasy light, and moths lay lazily on the lampshades. He went around the cargo hold and the galley and found a bottle of wine, a few pieces of cured meat, and a large loaf of bread.

The bomb-spitting frog in the cell was even more haggard, as thin as a suffocated balloon, with a dry tongue drooping around his mouth. As soon as the big protruding eyes saw Tangke, they immediately greeted him and grabbed the railing with webbed claws.

"Dear Captain, please forgive my previous offense!"

Tangke stared at the big toad for a while, and then said clearly: "You figured it out?"

"Yes, I am willing to answer all your questions, and I am willing to serve you in exchange for the chance of my life." It could see that Tangke had no time to listen to its apology, but cared about more important issues. It smacked its lips, stared straight at the food in Tangke's hand, and begged, "Can you give me that food?"

Tangke happily agreed, and stuffed the dinner plate through the gap under the railing. The ground was full of mud and dirty.

The spit frog didn't care anymore, and suddenly rushed to the food, grabbed the bread and devoured it, pulled out the cork of the wine, and gulped several mouthfuls.

Tang Ke watched from the side, and had nothing to do, so he threw an investigation technique at the big toad.

Name: trick-or-treater

Species: spit frog

Physical Attack: ☆

Ranged attack: ★★☆

There is not much information, just a name. This guy called troublemaker is a bit less aggressive than his peers, probably because he's hungry these days.

Seeing that it was almost eaten, Donk began to ask what he wanted to know. Of course, if the troublemaker lies about military intelligence or doesn't cooperate, he doesn't mind letting it continue to starve.

"Troubler, I want to know why you bomb-spitting frogs serve the Black Toad Pirates."

It was frightened and trembled: "You... how do you know my name?"

"I'm asking you questions, not you asking me questions."

Its eyes drooped, and it lowered its head and said, "Yes, I understand. I won't ask you any more questions. In fact, we spit frogs originally lived on Cobblestone Island, but you prefer to call it Toad Island, our family. There is no competition, and we have always lived peacefully on the island. We did not serve any power. But the boss frog wrote a contract with Harold Haysen, and the bomb-spitting frog on the island will serve him for ten years."

"Harold Haysen." Tangke repeated the name. Although he had not yet met, he could feel the chills emanating from the enemy. "Have you seen him? Is there anything special about him?"

"I've only seen it from a distance once, I'm new here, and I'm on this boat. Harold was on a different boat, and it was a lot bigger. When I saw him, he was Punishing a sailor who made a mistake, he skinned the sailor, and even I felt disgusted. As for the special one, I felt that he was a particularly vicious person. The rest, I can't remember."

Tangke frowned slightly, feeling that Harold was already a little psychopathic. To deal with such an enemy, we must cut the grass and root out, otherwise it must be a serious problem for his confidants.

"Who is the boss frog you're talking about? Is that your boss?" he asked again.

"Yes, it is the king of Toad Island, and we are all at his command.

"

"Why did the frog boss make a contract with Harold? Aren't you indifferent to the world?"

"Because of a fish, Harold gave the frog boss a golden fish. That kind of fish is called a golden baby. After the frog boss ate the fish, he agreed to sign a contract. In the past ten years, we bomb-spitting frogs have To serve the Black Toad Pirates for free." The troublemaker's expression darkened, and he recalled the sea life of his fellows over the years.

"Just for a fish? You toads are really cheap." Tangke mocked without shyness.

It didn't feel anything, but asked: "That's the famous golden doll, haven't you heard of it?"

Having said that, Tangke guessed that this fish should be unusual, and asked curiously, "Could it be that eating that fish can strengthen your yang?"

It was stunned for a moment, didn't expect Tangke's thinking to be so out of order, shook his head and said: "It seems that you really haven't heard of it, golden salamander is the most famous ingredient in the sea, it is useless by itself, but this The taste of seed fish is extremely delicious, and it exudes an irresistible temptation. Even the king of a country is difficult to eat."

As soon as Tangke heard that it was just delicious, he lost interest like a cold water topping.

"Anyway, for the sake of a fish, all the toads on one of your islands have signed a sales contract, and they have to do ten years of work for Harold in vain. Is that so?"

"Yes." The troublemaker lowered his head again.

"How many years have you worked?"

"It's been nine years."

"It's only a year away, you can be free?"

"Yes."

"One year, it's not long, it's not short." Tangke considered whether to avoid the edge for a while, and when the contract expired after a year, Harold would not have the help of the spit frog, and then he would deal with it. He will be much easier. And in a year's time, his dragon pirate group should also grow.

"By the way, why are you locked up here?"

"Actually nothing..." It hesitantly encountered this question.

"Your name is Troublemaker, it can't help but make people think." Tangke squinted at it.

The troublemaker had to tell the whole story and tell some of his deeds. It turned out that it used to be just like its name and liked to make trouble everywhere. It didn't matter on Toad Island, but after it was arranged on Kedal's ship, because of a few troubles, it was locked in a cell and imprisoned for half a year. , now there is no temper at all.

"Okay, okay, I basically know what you are. Then do you want to go out? If you want, be a gunner on this ship. But I said in advance that if you don't behave well, I will let you You look good." Tangke said bluntly.

"Great Captain Donk, the troublemaker is at your service." It gave a nondescript gentleman's salute. In order to fill its stomach, it can only promise to serve the enemy.

Tangke nodded, hiring such a bomb-spitting frog cost a lot of points, and being able to recruit troublemakers should be free artillery.

"Ding! You have a new crew."

Tangke laughed dumbly, this loyalty is really pitifully low, but he didn't care, anyway, a spit frog can't make any waves. Although he promised to take the troublemaker as his subordinate, he did not let it out of the cell, but only promised to provide food. Even if the bomb-spitting frog is allowed to fight on the deck, iron cuffs and shackles will be added to prevent it from jumping into the sea and escaping.

He didn't expect that his first crew member turned out to be a big toad, and his loyalty was so low. He returned to the upper deck, the sound of the turbulent waves was like the breath of a dragon, and the hull was shaking like a cradle. He took a deep breath and exhaled the stench from the cabin, feeling a lot more comfortable in his stomach. , feel refreshed.

"Look, there's a sea monster on the sea! Three hundred yards to the southeast."

The lookout shouted from above, some sailors ran to join in the fun, some didn't care, and some strange creatures were often seen at sea. Some of the people who joined in the fun were lying on the side of the boat to watch, while others climbed up the mast vigorously and stood on the boom to watch.

Tonk picked up a monocular, which was his trophy. He stretched out the telescope one by one, opened his eyes, and stuck it to the narrower end of the telescope, giving him a panoramic view of the sea beast raging on the sea. It looks like a seahorse, with a mane on its neck, and it is big enough to despise sharks in the sea, and its teeth are like daggers.

He put down the binoculars and waved, "Go and bring up that bomb-spitting frog, remember to bring it with iron chains, and then bring a box of shells. The helmsman will turn the direction for me and get close to the monster on the sea."

The sailors went away, and after a while they split up and got things done neatly, and the troublemaker stood beside the pirate captain with a gloomy face, thinking in his heart that there was nothing good.

"How about it, can you kill it?" Tangke said, pointing to the clear-cut monster on the sea.

"Try it. I haven't eaten for a few days, and I'm tired now, so I might not be able to hit that far." The troublemaker didn't dare to delay, he rolled his sticky tongue and swallowed the heavy shell into his mouth , holding back his strength, aiming at the sea beast and shooting out, a parabolic trajectory, and fell into the sea.

The sea beast was irritated by the splashing waves, and swam over with its head and tail, screaming.

"If you don't get hit with a single shot, I'll have someone stew you. Someone on this boat will definitely dare to eat you." Tang Ke calmly threatened without even looking at the troublemaker.

The troublemaker broke out in a cold sweat. He knew too well the ruthlessness of these pirates. Death hangs above its head like a sharp blade, and it speeds up the frequency of shooting. After five shots in a row, it finally successfully hits the sea beast. The sea beast was severely injured with one shot, and the sea was covered in blood.

Tang Ke ordered to shoot, he also picked up a gun, and the bullets fired turned into a black line, killing the sea beast.

"Ding! You discovered a new magical creature, add 10 bonus points, and it will expand the monster illustration."
