The World of Pirates

Chapter 135 Big Fish
However, this is Frank's first time as the captain of such a large merchant ship, so he can't help but be a little cautious, and he can't help but think twice about things.

You know, there are not only people in distress at sea, but also pirates who are good at knocking bones and sucking marrow.

"Come on, let's go take a look." Captain Frank said.

······
When the three of them left the captain's cabin, they saw that the ship was full of people gathered at the bow, the rope ladder had been lowered, and a few young and strong boys were standing shirtless and laughing wantonly at the bow.

"The captain is out! Make room for the captain!"

The bosun pushed aside some of the sailors to make room for Captain Frank on the side of the ship.

Captain Frank looked down. Under the noon sun, the girl in a fiery red dress was like a flame, burning the hearts of all the sailors on board.

"It turned out to be a woman, no wonder they were so excited." Captain Frank said.

After sailing on the ship for dozens of days, all the old men with bare buttocks took off their pants and dried birds on the deck when they had nothing to do.When you meet a news bird passing by, you will think it has "good looks", let alone such a beautiful girl, how can this not excite them?
Soon, girls in fiery red dresses and men dressed as ordinary fishermen were pulled onto the boat by gallant sailors.

······
After a while, Ella and Lancelot stood in the captain's cabin of the Queen, Captain Frank sat on a chair, and the navigator stood beside the captain.

Captain Frank first carefully sized up the two people in front of him from head to toe, and finally his gaze stayed on Ira's beautiful face for a moment, and then he nodded in satisfaction.

Since it is a girl and a fisherman, the possibility of being a pirate is very small... Maybe the rich lady eloped with the poor boy and got into shipwreck, the captain thought silently.

"Where are you from?" Captain Frank asked.

Afraid that Lancelot would say the wrong thing, Ella told him to keep his mouth shut long before boarding the ship, and to do everything according to her eyes, so when faced with Captain Frank's question, Ella took the initiative to answer:
"We were originally residents of Alabasta. My brother and I went fishing, but we encountered a storm and finally drifted to a deserted island. We were not saved until we met the captain."

Ella's tone is neither humble nor overbearing, and her posture can be described as graceful, but what she said is full of mistakes and omissions.

Alabasta is thousands of miles away from where the merchant ship is now, and who will have women on board the fishing boat?Or a woman who wears a dress and is familiar with etiquette?

But this coincided with Captain Frank's judgment.Girls who choose to elope for love are indeed ignorant, so the ability to lie is naturally very poor.

Captain Frank withdrew his gaze calmly and said, "Okay, what's your name?"

"My name is Ella and this is my brother, Lancelot."

"Okay, Ira," Captain Frank nodded, obviously, he judged that Ira was the one in charge of the two. "You have been wandering at sea for a long time, and it is fate that we met here. You can stay on the boat, and the kitchen will provide you with water and food. When you arrive at an island with people, I will put you down."

"Our voyage is going to the East China Sea for business. There are rules on the ship. I hope you can abide by them." Said, Captain Frank pointed to the navigator beside him. "This is the navigator on the ship. If you need anything, you can consult with him."

"Thank you Captain!"

Ella and the belated Lancelot saluted Captain Frank to express their gratitude.

Captain Frank smiled and said, "You're welcome, everyone who sails at sea will do so when they encounter such a situation."

······
Ella and Lancelot left the captain's cabin, leaving only Captain Frank and the navigator in the captain's cabin.The captain could hear the excited shouts of the sailors on the deck through the cabin...

"That Lancelot," Captain Frank said in a low voice, "it doesn't seem so simple."

"Haha~ It's really not easy for such a beautiful girl to elope with him, haha..."

Obviously, the navigator also believes that Ella and Lancelot are a pair of desperate mandarin ducks.

"No." Captain Frank shook his head, not echoing the navigator's joke. "I'm not talking about that."

"Then...the captain suspects him?"

Captain Frank still shook his head and said, "It's not doubt, it's just that he gave me a strange feeling."

"Strange feeling?" The navigator asked puzzled.

"It's not clear, he is obviously very tall, but standing there makes it easy to ignore him. And, have you noticed? He hasn't spoken from the beginning to the end."

"The poor boy doesn't have much knowledge, so it's normal for him to be inarticulate, right?"

"No, that's because you didn't notice his eyes. His eyes are bright, and they haven't dimmed after drifting at sea for a long time, nor flustered after entering a strange environment."

After a pause, Captain Frank continued: "He just stands there, obviously he has no sense of presence, but I feel that he is out of place with this place, giving me a feeling of... very disobedient."

Before the navigator could say anything, there was another round of cheers on the deck, this time the momentum was even stronger than when Ella and Lancelot were rescued.

Captain Frank's face changed slightly, he got up from the chair, pushed the door and left the captain's room.Although he didn't want to push the new fishermen on the boat too much, it was time to let them know the rules on this boat!
When I came to the deck, I saw people all over the ship scattered on the side of the ship, looking down.The ropes were full of people, and the sailors beat their sabers on their scabbards, clamoring in unison.

A fishing line as thick as a little finger was tied to the figurehead, stretched straight like a bowstring.

"What's the matter?" asked Captain Frank to the bosun.

The bosun on the cable realized that it was the captain calling him, so he jumped in front of Captain Frank and explained:

"Captain, it's a good omen. Just now we recruited a young man from the fishermen. He is very good himself. He actually asked him to catch a big fish from the bottom of the sea!"

"Big fish? How big can it be?" Captain Frank's tone was a bit hostile.

Captain Frank, as an old navy, what kind of fish has he never seen?He has even witnessed Neptunes with his own eyes, so talking about "big fish" with him is indeed suspected of playing tricks.

"Uh..." Although the boatswain is a rough man, he also keenly sensed that something was wrong, "Captain, don't be angry, I will go down to the sea to catch this big fish for you, and make it for you Eat sashimi with dipping sauce!"
