The World of Pirates

Chapter 137 Rules
At the critical moment, Frank showed his responsibility and determination as a captain.

But it was Captain Frank's calm demeanor and tone that infected everyone. The bosun hurriedly ordered the sailors on the ship to throw the rope into the sea, and the navigator immediately took off a small conch on his waist and blew it vigorously.

This is the signal for the assembly on the "Queen", the sound can penetrate the sea, and everyone on the ship must gather on the deck when they hear the sound of the horn.

After a while, the sailors floated to the surface of the sea one after another. They immediately grabbed the ropes dropped by the people on the deck, and the people on the boat all pulled the sailors up with all their strength.

The spears in their hands were still dripping with blood when they boarded the ship.This kind of gun is mostly used for whaling. The tip of the gun is sharp and can penetrate the tough fish skin.

Someone proudly held up a golden scale, the size of a plate, shining golden.

"Where's Mario? Why didn't Mario come up?" Someone counted the number of people and suddenly screamed.

"Damn, that kid fought too hard just now, so don't faint in the sea from exhaustion." A sailor slapped his thigh.

"Why are you still standing there? Find a way to save people!" the bosun shouted.

"Found it, found it!" someone shouted from the foredeck.

The boatswain pushed his way through the crowd and took a look, and was immediately dumbfounded.

People are found, but there is no way to save them.A few tens of meters away, Mario was caught by the hook on the fishing line, and was being led by the big fish, chopping the waves and moving forward.

For some reason, that big fish suddenly seemed to be a hundred times stronger. Just now, a full leap only made the boat roll, but now it was able to drag a merchant ship when it was dying.

Although this big fish is big, it is only tens of meters long. Even with the strength of a hundred men, it is not enough to drag the "Queen".This big ship moves on the shore, and it takes 300 people to pull the fibers.

There were several small boats on the "Queen", but it was too late to lower the boat hastily and row to rescue Mario.

"Leave him alone! Leave him alone! This is definitely a sea king!" A fisherman squeezed over and said with horror on his face: "Captain! Cut off the fishing line! This is a sea king! We can't fish any more!"

Fishermen rely on the sea to eat, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, so there are many rules, which are actually a summary of their experience.In their cognition, none of the people who offended Neptune could survive.

But the bosun was a sailor before, but no matter what the fishermen's rules are, he yelled angrily: "You bastard! When you get on the boat, everyone is a brother! Don't tell me about your fishermen's rules!"

It's just that after all, the bosun was also helpless, sweating profusely.

Ella and Lancelot also squeezed to the bow, and no one clamored. A good omen turned into a fatal bad thing in an instant, and everyone was terrified.

"Where does this fish get so much strength?" Lancelot asked the people around him.

No one answered, and the fishermen and sailors were all taken aback. This matter is too strange.

"Captain, cut the fishing line." Someone whispered into Captain Frank's ear.

Without looking back, Lancelot clearly heard and "saw" who said it, the ship's navigator.

Captain Frank's expression froze, and he fell silent.

He is now the captain of the boat, cutting the fishing line means surrendering to the fishermen's rules, safety is of course safe, but he is worried that this will affect his prestige.

"Captain! Cut the fishing line!" The navigator's voice was full of eagerness.

Before Captain Frank could react, there was an explosion on the distant sea surface, white foam erupted like a volcanic eruption, thousands of tons of sea water was lifted into the air, and the bloody big fish finally stood up when it was dying, Cracked out.

And Mario was carried by the fishing line, and was also thrown into the air, like a small bait on the fishing line.

The long tail of the big fish was flying in the air, breaking the wind like a whip. If it hit Mario's head, his skull might be smashed to pieces.

Just when the long tail was about to hit Mario, the body of the big fish suddenly seemed to be plunged into an invisible gel. Its body shook violently in the air, but there seemed to be a pair of invisible big hands, tightly clutched it tightly.

Then, the heavy body of the big fish fell to the sea surface along with the snow-like spray.

Everyone was stunned, unable to recover from the thrilling scene in front of them.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and get him up!" Captain Frank roared, lifting his feet and throwing the bosun into the sea.

Mario was brought up with the big fish and thrown on the deck.Mario spit out a few mouthfuls of seawater and gave his brothers a thumbs up wearily.

"Boy, good job!"

His master, an elderly sailor, led a few people to lift up this desperate young man.A panic turned into a happy event again, and most of the people on the ship were overjoyed, holding Mario around the deck for a few times.

Amidst the laughter, Lancelot heard the navigator whisper in the corner: "It's time to cut the fishing line..."

Lancelot didn't think about why the navigator said that, because Ella, who had been holding his hand beside him, suddenly squeezed him hard.

"Is that you?" Ella said in a voice like a mosquito.

Lancelot nodded slightly, and then smiled.

Under the sun, the smile on Lancelot's handsome face became brighter and brighter, which made Ella lose her mind for a moment.

······
Discordant shouting and cursing suddenly came from the front deck. Captain Frank frowned and pushed away a few people to look around. Several people were huddling together around the big fish.

The others gathered around to watch the excitement, each with a sailor knife in their hands and scales the size of a plate, presumably they all wanted to cut a scale as a souvenir.

"You have angered the sea kings by doing this. When the ship crashes and everyone dies, everyone will go to the sea to feed the fish!" A crying voice shouted in the crowd.

"Fighting is prohibited on board, don't you know the rules?" The bosun was angry, "Who else is saying such curse words? Believe it or not, I'll throw him into the sea to feed the fish first?"

"Haven't all the fish been killed? Why are they still like this?" Lancelot asked a little puzzled.

Ella said disdainfully: "Ignorant and cowardly people are often like this. They don't dare to do or can't do things themselves, and they don't see others doing it."

······
The boatswain hurried over and reported to Captain Frank: "Captain, some ignorant fishermen... said that this fish must be sacrificed even if it is dead, and it cannot be scaled or eaten, for fear of offending Neptunes. They got angry and scuffled together after two blows.
