Pirates from island owner to king

It turned out that he thought too much.

Although this era is the era of great pirates, and countless people rush to the sea to become pirates, the sea is vast and pirates generally do not gather together.

Not long after, the pirate ship of the Melon Pirates was cleaned up, and the corpses of the pirates who had no bounty were thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

If there is a bounty, no matter how much it is, Wang Hai will not disdain it and will have it dealt with and put away.

Even if he might not have time to go to the navy to redeem the bounty, it would not be troublesome to handle it.

It can be left to the Wang family's intelligence channels left in Xihai to handle it.

You can also find inhabited islands and sell them to local middlemen.

It's no secret.

Wang Hai heard Zhou Yu say that as long as it is profitable, there will be a corresponding market.

Not every pirate hunter has time to personally take the pirate's head to the Navy to redeem the bounty.

Therefore, the profession of middlemen emerged.

They are found on almost every inhabited island. Not only do they recover pirate heads and earn the difference, they also specialize in the business of bounty hunters.

Buy and sell information, equipment, and various services.

It can be said that a complete industry chain has been formed around bounty hunters and pirates.

Sometimes, even if the pirates are holding the heads of their colleagues, they still do the pirates' business and will not refuse anyone who comes.

This world is darker and more complicated than imagined.

The forces behind these middlemen are complex, some are local dignitaries, some are even the local navy, and some are gangs.

In short, Wang Hai is not worried that these pirates' heads cannot be turned into cash.

Including this pirate ship.

These gains alone are enough to offset most of the money he needs to spend this time.

"I've already asked the island owner."

Good news came soon after.

The subordinates came to report that Xiaoxiangguo's bones were a bit soft, so he told everything he knew without much questioning.

Wang Hai is mainly interested in their treasures.

As he expected, the Melon Pirates robbed many merchant ships and gained a lot of property.

Not on the pirate ship, but in another place.

What surprised him was that the Xianggua brothers had another identity and were actually wealthy businessmen from a nearby island.

Their status as merchants provided them with convenience in handling the looted property.

but.

This island was not the same island as the one they planned to go to, and it was not in the same direction.

Fortunately, the Xianggua brothers often turned into pirates and went out to plunder, and it was common for them not to return for ten days and a half.

Therefore, Wang Hai is not in a hurry to receive this property.

Right now, the most important thing is the transaction of medical supplies.

After half a day.

Without encountering any more pirates, Wang Hai and others arrived at an island called Blackstone Island.

This is the island closest to Crab Island.

Crab Island was previously occupied by pirates, but now it is occupied by the Capone family, which has not had time to deal with it.

The supplies Wang Hai needs are on Crab Island.

The distance between the two islands is less than ten nautical miles.

Blackstone Island is not big, only a small town with about a thousand people.

The nearest navy branch is more than a hundred nautical miles away, and the land is barren. The residents on the island mostly rely on growing fruits and fishing to make a living, barely eking out a living.

Not even pirates are willing to visit such an island with little oil and water.

After all, every voyage requires a lot of supplies.

On the contrary, this allowed the residents of Blackstone Island to barely survive in this troubled world without being harmed by pirates.

Compared to Crab Island, which was occupied and plagued by pirates, it was undoubtedly much luckier.

After landing on the island, Wang Hai noticed that many of the residents on the island had already gone into hiding. Only some relatively strong men gathered together with weapons and looked at the outsiders like them with caution.

Wang Hai and others stated that they were not pirates, but they still did not let their guard down.

but.

Wang Hai and others only stopped here and had no intention of doing anything on the island.

Of course, the people on the island will not come here to cause trouble.

After a while.

Wang Hai saw the target of this transaction.

I used the identification function of Goldfinger to check and found out that this was just a thief with a fairly good talent.

Suddenly, I lost interest in further contact.

As agreed, the specific transaction details were discussed and some deposits were paid.

Finally, it was agreed that the transaction would be carried out at night, and this person's companion was lurking on Crab Island.

Medical supplies will be transported to the beach at night, and the two parties will take advantage of the darkness to complete the transaction.

After making the agreement, Wang Hai saw that it was still early, so he came to Blackstone Town.

Although this year, he is not considering recruiting people to Taoyuan Island for the time being, but with the golden finger identification function, he also wants to take advantage of the opportunity to go out and see if he can discover some talents.

He took out some of the food obtained on the Melon Pirates' ship and gave it to the locals, showing that he meant no harm.

"Well, we believe that a handsome man like you is not a bad person."

Finally, the highly respected mayor's mother-in-law spoke.

Wang Hai was a little helpless, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would still be leaning on the same face.

He chatted with the old woman, who looked at him like a grandson-in-law.

After chatting for a while, Wang Hai learned more about Blackstone Town.

He could also see that the old woman was still shrewd and did not reveal the details of Blackstone Town to him. Instead, she kept complaining to gain sympathy, hoping to get more help from him.

He called a group of pitiful-looking children who didn't even have enough to eat, and asked them to look at him expectantly.

Wang Hai also took the opportunity to identify it with his golden finger.

Compared with adults, children are also more malleable. If they have the same talents, he would prefer to cultivate them from an early age.

Among these children, he did not find any geniuses, only a few children who were somewhat talented.

He didn't just keep an eye on these children, but also appraised everyone he met.

Including the mayor’s mother-in-law.

In addition to being highly respected, this old woman also possesses intermediate talents in domestic affairs and intermediate physical skills.

Moreover, he has mastered an intermediate physical skill.

However, as he is over sixty, his physical strength has declined severely, and his current force value is only about [-] points.

The actual combat effectiveness may be even less.

In addition, some talents with life-related skills such as planting, fishing, carpentry, and blacksmithing have also been discovered.

Although the talents are not excellent, they can still be regarded as having a certain skill.

After walking around the town and identifying hundreds of people, Wang Hai knew that although there were still many people he had not seen, he did not continue to press.

He didn't say anything to recruit, because Blackstone Town was already going through a difficult time. If he poached these only talents, it would be difficult for other people in Blackstone Town to survive.

"That's it, it's getting late, I should go back."

After looking at the sky, Wang Hai planned to say goodbye and return to the ship.

He was also a little soft-hearted towards the mayor's mother-in-law's cry for poverty, and had most of the supplies looted from the Melon Pirates' ship sent over.

"You are a good boy like my son. You must protect yourself when you go out. When the female pirate sees your face, she will risk her life to snatch you away..."

The mayor's mother-in-law was reluctant to leave, holding his hand and talking.
