The Laughing Clown in Pirate

Little Bucky was frightened. He had heard stories about pirates who pretended to be shipwrecked and were rescued and then robbed merchant ships. It would be unbearable to ignore it, so he planned to go back to the cabin to ask his father and Uncle Norris.

"Hey, little guy, let me go up. I've been hungry for many days!" The woman put on a weak expression.

"You have to wait, I have to ask my dad to get up before I can decide!" Little Bucky shouted at the woman.

"I see, I can't wait so long!" the woman said, bending down and taking out a hook rope from the boat. The bright hook rope rotated rapidly as the woman's slender wrist twisted, and then flew out and hooked it.

Boat rail.

"Ah!" Little Bucky screamed and tried to cut the rope with a knife, but the woman climbed onto the railing. Feeling cruel, Little Bucky cut the woman's finger with a knife. The woman screamed in pain and turned over.

When they got on the deck, they took little Bucky's shoulders and pushed him to the ground.

Scar the lion roared angrily, frightening the woman. She took out the flintlock gun from her waist and shot Scar the lion. This shot hit Scar's right leg. It screamed in pain and looked threatened.

Little Bucky didn't dare to move and only let out an angry growl.

The hatch above the bridge opened, and Norris helped Arthur, who was still unable to move, onto the deck. He looked at little Bucky who was pressed to the ground with a calm expression, but Arthur scolded him.

"Damn bitch, get your fucking gun out of my son's head!"

"That won't work!" The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at the two people in front of her, thinking in her mind. She was the captain's mistress of a small pirate group. The terrible storm yesterday destroyed the pirate group, so she had to wait and see.

Miraculously, she boarded the lifeboat first and survived.

"I have an idea." The female pirate pressed Little Bucky's head so hard that Little Bucky felt that the cartilage in his ears was about to be broken. "You can get on my lifeboat, and I will leave enough food for you."

"Perhaps we can coexist peacefully. There is enough food on the ship and plenty of fresh water!" Norris said, leaning half sideways and hiding his right hand behind Arthur.

"There is no need for a conflict between us, right, Arthur!"

"If this woman lets my son go, I wouldn't mind making a friend!"

Arthur pretends to be bold, but of course this is not true. He cannot trust a female pirate. Whenever there is a chance, he and Norris will save little Bucky and teach the female pirate an unforgettable lesson!

"A beautiful woman like me would not dare to be alone on the same boat with two grown men. Get off the boat and give me the boat!"

The situation reached a stalemate. The female pirate pressed her knee against Bucky's back while trying to pull out another gun from her lower back. She planned to apply pressure, for example, by knocking off one of the brave little guy's hands.

.

The deck rose and fell with the waves, and the sea breeze blew the curly hair on the female pirate's forehead, slightly blocking the female pirate's sight. At this moment, Norris, who had been half-hiding behind Arthur, moved his hand.

He threw three throwing knives at the same time, one shot at the female pirate's right hand holding the gun against Bucky's head, one shot at the female pirate's head, and the other shot at the female pirate's chest.

Puff! Bang! First, the female pirate's right hand was pierced by the flintlock gun and was knocked off. At the same time, the female pirate turned around to avoid the flying knife aimed at her head, and fired a shot at the same time.

Arthur endured the severe pain in his waist and ran towards the female pirate. Scar, the lion, was faster than him. He jumped and knocked down the female pirate, and his sharp teeth directly bit off the female pirate's neck!

"Aha! You succeeded Norris, you are indeed the famous perfect shot!" Arthur hugged Bucky and shouted excitedly, but Bucky's eyes were full of fear.

Arthur turned his head to look, and Norris's chest was already bright red.

He leaned against the hatch, his chest heaving rapidly, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"I missed it!" Norris thought. The shaking deck affected his performance, and the fatigue from last night even reduced the speed of his flying knives.

"Hold on, Norris, I'll get the bandage!" Arthur broke into a cold sweat: "Bucky! Take care of your Uncle Norris!" Arthur got into the cabin door and ran to the warehouse.

Bucky ran to Norris, so anxious that he burst into tears. He pressed his hand on Norris's chest, but he couldn't stop the thick blood from pouring out.

Norris looked up at the blue sky, bathing in the sunshine, but felt that this was not unacceptable. At least he died on the ship, and the ship survived the terrible storm under his hands.

"Little Bucky, stop covering your head and light a cigarette for me!"

"Smoke, where is the smoke?"

"In the right pocket of pants"

Little Bucky lit a cigarette for Norris with trembling hands. He took a puff and cursed: "Grass, your mouth smells like blood."

Norris looked at little Bucky, but his sharp eyes lost focus.

"Little Bucky, you like my throwing knife very much, so I'll give it to you!"

"It's not too late to teach you the skills of throwing a knife. Remember, keep your eyes on the location you want to hit, and think in your heart that you must hit it, and then keep practicing, keep..."

This is the first time little Bucky sees human death.

The butt of the cigarette in Norris's mouth no longer lit up, and the white tobacco pipe slowly rose and dispersed in the sea breeze, gradually disappearing. The sun shone on Norris's bearded face, as peaceful as a dream.

"Bandages! Bandages!" In the messy warehouse, Arthur flipped through the messed up things, sweat rolling down his body.

Scar the lion gnawed at the female pirate's body, the sound of his sharp teeth scraping against the bones made a creaking sound.

Bucky stood up and called Scar's name.

The lion Scar turned his head fiercely, the hair on his mouth was full of blood, and his mouth grew larger and let out a low roar, revealing his white teeth.

Bucky looked at the lion he had grown up with, his hair stood on end, and he felt very strange.

The sun was warm, but the waves were still surging and making a crashing sound.

……………………

Arthur was pleasantly surprised to find that although there was no sail, the ocean currents brought them to the location of the treasure island. Their ship had been sailing in the direction of the magnetic pointer attached to the treasure map.

They threw the female pirate's remains into the sea. They put Norris on the female pirate's survival boat, filled the boat with strong alcohol, and buried Norris at sea.

Scar the lion returned to his usual appearance, but little Bucky no longer dared to sleep on it.

But the good luck didn't last long... On the eleventh day of drifting on the sea, I didn't know how far away from the island where the treasure was. The ship ran aground on the rocks, and turbulent water poured in from the broken cabin.

With two people and one lion, they struggled to transport food and water to the fishing boat tied to the side of the ship, and continued their voyage in search of treasure.
