The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

"Master, we made a lot of money this time." Bob said with a smile.

"Yes, thanks to Baron Richard." Barto replied.

Just after leaving the port of Emerald Territory, Bob and Barto were chatting pleasantly on the boat.

"I heard that Jack has been having a hard time lately," Bob said

"That damn sea rat should have been destroyed long ago."

"Let's not talk about him. By the way, is the contact over there still normal?" Barto asked.

"Don't worry, sir. The Tigers are eager for us to go, and we will pay you well."

"Well, we still have to maintain the relationship. Don't worry too much about money. It's okay to earn less. It's good to be able to join the Tiger Corps, which will be useful in the future."

"Okay, sir."

……

The Black Skull.

"Honey, it's windy on the boat, let's go back indoors." Rose said gently.

The cold sea breeze ruffled Jack's hair, and Jack's face was full of sadness.

"You go back first, Rose, I'll be back soon." Jack said.

Rose looked at Jack and turned back to the cabin.

……

"Boss, if it doesn't work, let's go back to the Island of Confession (the base island of the Black Skull Pirates) first." Armand advised.

"Well... let's go, arrange for the helmsman to turn the rudder and return to the island." Although he was a little confused as to why his deputy, who had always advocated a tough stance, suddenly wanted to retreat back to the island this time, the trust he had always given made Jack give the order to return to the island without giving it much thought.

……

Red Shark.

"Boss, are we really going to listen to Armand and help him seize the throne?"

"I must help. I have already signed the agreement, but the agreement only states that I will help him seize the throne. Nothing else is written in the agreement. We'll deal with it when the time comes." Francis said grimly.

……

"Boss, look ahead, that's the Black Skull."

"Hmm... Gunners, get ready, fire when you're within range..."

……

"Brothers, listen to me. There is no future in following Jack. Everyone has seen what happened in the past few months. Besides, Jack's bounty is huge, and the navy has been hunting him down. If you don't make a decision, we will all be doomed," Armand encouraged.

"First mate, this is not a good idea. After all, Captain Jack is doing this for his brothers." A voice questioned.

Armand gave the man a look and his throat was cut.

"Well……"

Seeing how fierce Armand was, the sailors looked at each other and were at a loss.

"Follow Lord Armand." A voice beckoned.

The pirates had a strong herd mentality and were a mob. Once they saw someone taking the lead, they were determined to follow Armand in rebellion.

"Listen to me, when we hear the sound of artillery fire, we will launch the attack and kill Jimmy and those diehards first. After catching Jack, we will find someone to help collect the reward." Armand ordered.

……

Confession Island (Black Skull pirate lair).

On the beach, several women were washing clothes...

"Those damn guys haven't come back yet? They've been at sea for several months now," asked a woman.

"He must have crawled on that horse-fork worm woman's belly without knowing it." A sturdy woman said angrily.

"I heard there are women like that in the taverns at Oakland Harbor."

"Yeah, yeah, so shameless, wearing thin clothes, it's like she's wearing nothing, so flirtatious, she only knows how to seduce men."

"I don't care about these things, I just hope they can come back safely."

Having said this, the women fell silent for a while and stopped talking nonsense.

"Hey, look, isn't that our boat..." a woman exclaimed.

……

Because he was in a bad mood, Jack drank a lot of wine before going to bed. After being intimate with Rose, he slept very soundly.

"In my dream, I heard a rumbling sound coming from the ship, accompanied by bursts of shouting and killing." Jack thought he was dreaming.

...Until Jimmy arrived.

"Brother, brother, get up quickly, something happened." Jimmy shouted outside the cabin with two sailors.

Jack and Rose hurriedly put on their clothes and came out to see that there were shouts and cries of killing everywhere on the ship. "What's going on?"

"Brother, that guy Armand incited the sailors to revolt and has killed many people. His people are everywhere and not many people listen to us anymore." Jimmy said anxiously.

"Hey, so you are here, Jimmy, you lackey, hey, isn't this Brother Jack and Mrs. Rose? You are here too?" Armand led his men to surround them.

"Brothers, are you all going to betray me?" Jack shouted.

Facing Captain Jack's gaze, the sailors lowered their heads in shame.

"You can't turn back. Go, go quickly and kill them." Armand called on the sailors to attack.

After hearing what Armand said, the sailors came to their senses and realized that there was no turning back. They looked at each other with cold eyes and surrounded and killed them.

"Brother, let's go quickly. You and Rose go first, I'll follow soon..." Jimmy said anxiously.

"Yes, boss, hurry up." Two loyal sailors also shouted.

"No, let's go together..." Jack waved the weapon in his hand, unwilling to give up his men.

"Come on, the boat over there has been lowered. You and Rose go that way." Jimmy pushed Jack and Rose while leading people to resist Armand's attack.

……

Jack finally jumped onto the boat with Rose.

The boat gradually went away. Jack felt heartbroken as he watched his men become mortal enemies on the Black Skull in the distance. But things had come to this point, and Jack knew he could not change anything. Armand's sudden attack, coupled with the sailors' long-standing dissatisfaction, made this disaster inevitable.

Suddenly, Jack saw his brother Jimmy being chopped down. Jimmy turned around and looked at him while holding the guardrail, saying something...but before he finished speaking, he fell down.

"Jimmy...my brother."

Jack slapped the water with his oar and said heartbreakingly.

"Honey, now is not the time to be sad. Let's go back to the island. We still have brothers on the island." Rose said calmly.

……

"Boss, look, they are there." A sailor said enthusiastically to the new captain Armand.

"Tell the gunners to aim and fire... " Armand shouted as if he was venting something.

"Don't blame me, brother. I didn't want to do this either. Who asked you to compete with me for Rose?" Armand thought.

"Rumble"

There were splashes of water and the first few shots missed.

Armand was a little exasperated, "Fight again, fire!"

Finally, the shell hit the deck and the boat was blown to pieces. Fortunately, Jack and Rose were not seriously injured.

However, looking at the fragments of the boat in front of them, Jack and Rose felt very disappointed. They knew they couldn't leave.

At this time, only the sound of "boom boom" of artillery cannons can be heard from afar...

Could it be that the naval fleet led by Hedram Bergs is coming again?

Although he didn't like Hedram, at this moment he hoped it was Hedram.

Pushing Rose onto the broken plank beside him, Jack held onto the plank and looked into the distance.

I saw that the Black Skull seemed to be turning around and no longer firing at this side. While I felt relieved, I was also worried about Yuanyou below.

……

As the sun sets, the naval fleet in the distance is getting closer.

"Damn it, General Hedram Bergs, is he still haunting us?" Armand said angrily.

"Boss, let's retreat."

"My Rose..."

"Go, full rudder, retreat." Armand gave the order to retreat.
