One of the pirate swords splits the new world

The Liberator towed the capsized ship toward the nearest island. Peake stayed by the rope that pulled the boat and read a book.

After all, the New World is a place with harsh environment and unpredictable wind and rain. If the Liberator encounters a storm, Peake needs to untie the knot as soon as possible and abandon the ship.

After all, although the treasure is good, it cannot drag down the Liberty.

Fortunately, the ship was not far from the nearest island, and there was not much wind or rain along the way. The Liberator arrived safely at Kenner Island in the evening, dragging the capsized ship.

Kenna Island is a small island located on the edge of the red continent. There is only one village on the island. Before the ship arrived, Ryan saw black smoke that went straight upward and gathered into a ball in the distance.

There was a fire... This was Ryan's subconscious thought.

But when a group of people came to the island, they discovered that the problem was not just as simple as a fire.

All the wooden houses in the village have been burned, leaving only carbon pillars. Even the trees around the village have been burned to the ground, leaving ruins and scorched earth.

A group of five people stood in front of the stone monument at the entrance of the village, looking at the scene in the village. Aslan said:

"That gang of pirates won't rob this village, right?"

"It looks like it's very possible." Isa agreed with Aslan's words, and then turned to ask Ryan: "Captain, what should we do now?"

Ryan glanced around the burned-out dark village and sighed:

"Let's check to see if anyone is alive first. I hope someone escapes."

After that, Ryan took the lead into the village.

The fire on the wooden house has not been completely extinguished. Many wooden pillars are still burning with red flames, and some wood is still thick with smoke.

The five of them were walking on the path in the village, and every step of their feet would cause a burst of ash to float on their trouser legs.

Ryan checked the environment and made a summary of the disaster suffered by the village:

“At present, it seems that the time when the village was robbed should be this morning, combined with the time we drove all the way here.

It should be that the group of pirates we met today happened to run into us during the banquet at noon after plundering in the morning.

That makes sense. "

Aslan's right fist hit his left palm hard, "Damn it, these bastards. I shouldn't have advised the captain to give them pleasure at that time. I should have let them be eaten by sharks in their desperate struggle!"

Seeing the annoyance on Aslan's face, Ryan couldn't help but persuade him: "Forget it, don't dwell on what has happened in the past. They have also received the punishment they deserve."

……

Everyone walked forward for a while.

"It's so hot!"

The heat from the burning wood made Sylvie's breathing uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but fan her face with her hands.

Then, squeak——

To Sylvie's right, the burned wooden house with only its frame collapsed, splashing ashes all over the sky and throwing them at everyone.

Cough cough, cough cough cough——

Everyone kept coughing, and Ryan himself was so fascinated that he almost burst into tears.

"First, ahem... get out first. The fire hasn't been extinguished here yet, and no one alive will be willing to hide here."

So the exploration was temporarily abandoned, and the group returned to the entrance of the village.

"Captain, what's next?" Aslan asked Ryan about his next plan.

Ryan didn't reply, but raised his hand to block the sunlight and observed the environment around the village.

"Captain, pick up..."

Aslan thought that Ryan did not hear his question clearly and wanted to repeat it, but was interrupted when Ryan raised a hand.

Ryan closed his eyes and concentrated, feeling the breath of life on this island.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "There are still living people in the woods around the village. They probably ran into the woods to hide when the pirates logged in in the morning."

Still alive?

Aslan and the others looked at each other, and they saw in each other's eyes the relief that someone had survived.

Sylvie said excitedly: "Captain, since there are still people alive, let's call them out quickly. They must have been hungry all day."

Before Ryan could speak, Pique refuted Sylvie's idea:

"These villagers have just been robbed and are still mentally unstable. They will definitely be wary of strangers who come to this island for the first time. Contacting them rashly will easily arouse their hostility.

If they attack us, whether we hurt them or they hurt us, it is not a good thing. "

Pique used to have an indifferent attitude except for his partners. What happened today? ...Ryan glanced at him in surprise.

Pique seemed to have guessed Ryan's thoughts and pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, "I have been reading books on psychology recently, so I tried to analyze the village name's psychology."

emmm...

You really have a wide range of studies... Ryan complained in his mind.

"I feel your inner rumblings," Pique said, revealing Ryan's inner workings.

Ryan was really surprised this time, "Can you read my mind?"

"A little bit," Pique reached out and made a gesture with his thumb and index finger.

Seeing that the two of them were chatting more and more deeply, Sylvie couldn't help but stop them.

"Oh Captain, don't keep this discussion in your mind. And you, Pique, if you think you can't contact them, then you have to come up with an idea."

Ryan shrugged upon seeing this, and then motioned to Pique.

Pique pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose again, looking confident.

“You also said they hid in the woods in the morning and haven’t eaten anything for a day.

If they don’t come out, it means they have a solution to their hunger. If they can't solve the problem, they will take the initiative to look for food.

And the village has been burned down, so..."

Pique didn't finish speaking, he just gave Sylvie a "you know" expression.

"Oh~, you mean to let them come out to find us?" Sylvie clapped her hands and understood.

"Yes, that's what it means." Ryan agreed with Pique's idea, and then his voice changed and his expression became narrow.

"But maybe they can go hungry for a long time. In order to get them out early, we need to give them a little temptation."

"lure?"

Sylvie blinked.

……

Grills were piled up on the beach by the sea. The high-quality meat that Ryan and the others bought on Fishman Island was roasting on the fire.

The meat makes a "sizzling" sound under the flames. Aslan continued to cut the meat beside him, while Sylvie grabbed a handful of seasoning and sprinkled it on the meat.

Ryan sat in front of the fire, holding a glass of beer in one hand and taking a sip from time to time. The other hand is holding a cattail leaf fan, fanning it constantly against the meat.

The rich aroma from the barbecue was blown into the air, and then blown into the woods by the sea breeze.

Ryan looked at the barbecue and swallowed.

Gollum~

Then he heard a sound coming from the woods.

Gulu~*N
