Anne was a little confused. Ever since she came to Nassau, nothing had been going well for her. She had been rejected more than once or twice when she was looking for a job. Even the kids on the streets knew about it.
The naughty kid named Harry was betting with the other naughty kids on which would happen first: Annie getting a job or the destruction of Nassau. Harry was pinned to the ground and gave Harry a good beating. Annie only stood up angrily when the naughty kid started crying for his parents. After walking for another five meters, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She turned back and gave Harry another good beating.
As a result, Harry became the first person in Nassau to be beaten up twice in just three minutes. But from then on, he was completely enlightened. He realized that the one with the biggest fist was the boss. So, he clung onto Anne, who was the strongest person on Nassau, and became her first follower.
The red-haired girl suspected that some bored guy was messing with her, but she was also a little angry at James. She couldn't care less about the agreement anymore. She rolled up her sleeves and stormed to the dock. But after taking two steps, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stopped.
James, on the other hand, had obviously not heard about Harry's tragic experience. He was still following behind the red-haired girl. He even wanted to watch the show. So, under Harry's sympathetic gaze, he used his soft lower abdomen to take a blow from the red-haired girl. James was kicked into the field by Anne. He was in so much pain that he curled up like a shrimp and rolled on the ground.
Annie retracted her leg, and the depression she had been feeling over the past few days was gone. She felt a lot better, and her whole body was filled with energy again. She flexed her wrists and ankles, then turned to Harry, who was looking at her with admiration, and said, "Lead the way!"
The two of them rushed to the dock one after another. From afar, Anne saw the navy frigate that Harry was talking about. As a matter of fact, the moment it entered the port, a lot of people came to watch the show.
The red-haired girl had to admit that the ship looked very cool. It must have been built by the Royal Navy not long ago. She had no idea how it was snatched away. It had a streamlined and elegant hull, and the important parts of the hull were wrapped with iron plates. It could provide more protection in battle. Of course, the most eye-catching feature was the row of side cannons. Even from afar, one could feel the chill in the air.
Although Nassau was famous for its pirates, most of them had outdated equipment. Take the famous pirate, Edward Culkin, for example. Edward Teach's Sea Lion was an armed merchant ship that was mainly equipped with 9-pound and 12-pound cannons. But the warship in front of Anne even had a 24-pound cannon.
Harry's eyes were filled with envy. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. "This is so cool. It fulfills every man's fantasy!"
Anne wanted to go along with Harry, but when she remembered that the captain of this ship was making fun of her, she changed her mind. "Heh, if I could go out to sea, I would be able to snatch a ship that's prettier than this."
"Impossible." Harry did not succumb to the threat of the fist this time. He shook his head and said, "It's already perfect. If only I could be on it. Even if I had to do some cleaning, I could brag about it for the rest of my life."
Unlike Anne, this wasn't the first time Harry had seen this ship, but he still couldn't take his eyes off it. He scratched his head and said, "How did those guys do it? There's no sign of a battle on this ship. This is weird. This is a navy warship. Could it be that the people on this ship were infected with the plague and died?"
This time, Anne did not answer. Although this warship was good, it had nothing to do with her. Ever since she kicked James, her spirit of fighting had been fully activated. After holding it in for so many days, she needed to find a place to vent her anger. She asked Harry, "Where are they?"
Harry followed Anne excitedly. He was looking forward to seeing Anne beat up the people on the ship, but now he was a little hesitant. "Boss Anne, let's forget about it. It's just a joke. If those people can get their hands on this ship, they're definitely not to be trifled with."
The red-haired girl only said, "If that's the case, then we have to let them know who they can't afford to mess with on this island!" Anne paused for a moment, then said earnestly, "Harry, you have to remember that bullying the weak and fearing the strong is the typical behavior of the weak. Only those who constantly challenge the strong are the truly strong!"
"I think I've just heard something amazing." Harry was in awe when he heard Anne's words. After a while, he whispered, "Boss Anne, why did you beat me up when I was only 12 years old?"
"Oh, I beat you up because you deserved a beating. It has nothing to do with strength or weakness."
"…"
Anne patiently answered Harry's questions and finally found her target. On the beach not far away, there was a circle of people. Although it was not as crowded as when the Sea Lion was recruiting, it was still quite lively. It seemed that these people were also busy recruiting.
This was good news. It meant that they were short on manpower.
Anne licked her lips and revealed a cruel smile. She said to Harry, "Wait for me here. I'm going to teach them an unforgettable lesson."
Harry had no intention of going. He had already found a place to hide, but before he could agree, he saw a hand land on his boss's flowing red hair. Harry's heart skipped a beat. He thought it was over. Previously, he had only used his boss as a wager of three coppers, and he had been beaten up twice. The scene was so bloody that he could not help but shudder when he recalled it. Now, he was afraid that he would be dismembered on the spot for what he had done.
As expected, Anne was completely enraged. However, when she turned around and saw the figure, she abruptly stopped her fist in mid-air. "Ah, why are you here? When did you come back?! Why didn't you tell me? "
"I sent a kid to look for you as soon as I got ashore. Why? Didn't you meet him?" Zhang Heng said.
Harry's jaw dropped. He recognized the man in front of him as the one who asked him to look for Anne. What he couldn't understand was his boss's reaction. For some reason, he looked a little flustered, as if he had been caught red-handed by his parents when he made a mistake.
"Since you didn't meet the person I sent to look for you, why are you here?" Zhang Heng asked Anne.
"I … just came out for a walk …" The red-haired girl's answer sounded guilty.
"Then why are you rolling up your sleeves?" Zhang Heng asked curiously. Fortunately, he didn't dwell on the matter. "It's good that you're here. It saves me the trouble of looking for you. Come with me and get to know the others on the ship."
"Others … on the ship?" Anne was confused.
