Ol 'Seadog nodded. After a short while, he walked in again.
"Not a problem boss. The four children have inherited their father's hair color, pupils and appearance. Also, Mr. Cato told me that if it is possible, he hopes that you can allocate some funds to him. It is said that he can now buy a kind of magical ointment. It is said that it is imported from Saudi Arabia and is very effective in healing injuries. His exact words are that every ounce of this ointment can save ten lives during crucial moments. "
Sheyan decisively replied.
"Sure, you, Canbi and Blacksail will go together. Bring along ten young lads. I will authorize you to purchase 10,000 pounds sterling."
After a short while, a box of ointment exuding a dense smell was placed in front of Sheyan. The nightmare imprint's notification – This is a miraculous ointment concocted from the fat of a sperm whale by Sultan Nishali. Various essences are added within. After using it, wounds will rapidly staunch and heal within 24 hours. After using it, contestants will receive + 10 HP/minute regeneration bonus. Duration of 12 hours, can be used 50 times.
Moreover, this box of ointment merely costed Sheyan 300 pounds. Worth mentioning, Mister Cato had purchased 7-8 boxes, completely emptying the place …...
Following the return of those clubbing pirates, there was an endless stream of pirates seeking refuge with Sheyan. Nevertheless, Sheyan's current manpower was more or less saturated. Moreover, to him, obedient and loyal subordinates were much more useful. Hence, he was rather harsh in his pickiness.
Even so, he still retained a dozen decent individuals. Among them, there were two individuals with formidable prowess. To Sheyan's astonishment, they could possibly be on the level of Scarface Harry or Alan Dale!
Naturally, those two individuals probably possessed formidable storyline equipments or personal abilities. Initially, they were rather obstinate and untamed. However, after witnessing Canbi's might and Blacksail's elegance, they were wholeheartedly convinced.
Amongst them, there was a brat named Quanyulu who had a clear objective. When he joined, he straightforwardly stated – he wished to use his achievements to exchange for greater strength. Moreover, his ability was similar to a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts. He could control the cold. Not only could he enchant his weapons, he could even directly freeze his opponent's limbs.
The other was called Prince. He was a brat who believed in his fists, and appeared rather arrogant and formidable. However, after being viciously taught a lesson by Canbi, he became much more well-behaved. The main reason he joined was for the high dividends. The addition of these two greatly increased the strength of the boarding battle. The purchase of the ointment from the Sultan's Royal Family also gave the pirates more confidence in close combat.
Surprisingly, Joshamee also recommended two individuals to Sheyan. Those two individuals weren't proficient in combat, but were crucial characters in navigating the seas. Both of them were famous individuals in Tortuga.
Among them, Spike was famous for gambling. Every time he received money, he would squander it all in the casino in a short period of time, and then borrow money to continue. However, this guy's reputation was very good, and he was always able to find the money in time to repay his debts. The reason he was able to find the money in time, was due to his exceptional carpentry skills. With regards to the present wooden warships, he was the best and most formidable physician. Coincidentally, Sheyan was lacking such talents who could speedily repair the ship.
In order to bring Spike aboard the ship, Sheyan had to repay his gambling debts on his behalf. Hence, Sheyan had to fork out an exorbitant sum of 15,000 guineas. Such an amount would cause the hearts of other captains to ache, but to Sheyan, it didn't concern him at all.
The other famous individual was called Sasu. His reputation lay in his expertise in sailing. In this era, ships relied entirely on the wind to move, and a good sailor was essential to maximize the speed and efficiency of a ship.
To a captain who pursued speed, Sasu definitely couldn't be missed. Nevertheless, Sasu was renowned for his eccentric character. His only weakness was his wife, and his wife's weakness was similar to many fat and bloated women … … .she was rather lustful.
Hence, in order to deal with Sasu, Sheyan's wealth had shrunk by another 10,000 guineas. By now, the wealth he had obtained from the gypsies had plummeted to the bottom, and had already fallen below the 6-digit mark. At this moment, Sheyan continued to act, purchasing large batches of Tortuga's specialty products, intending to sell them directly to Port Royal.
In the end, his subordinates successively dissuaded him, stating that Port Royal was exceedingly strict in their investigations of smuggling. Especially after Norrington assumed the position of defence chief, he had enforced impartiality in all aspects. Don't even talk about an unrelated newcomer like Sheyan, even the business of the local tyrant Skrtel was greatly affected. His trading volume hadn't even reached a tenth of his previous volume.
Nevertheless, they didn't know that Sheyan and the others possessed a miraculous item like the party warehouse, which could easily pass through the port's tax officials' inspection. If not, everyone would've eagerly leapt in.
Following that, nothing else happened. When the craftsmen dispatched by Lohan had successfully completed the renovation of the Hill Maiden, the Hill Maiden, which had long been replenished with fresh water and food, hoisted up its massive sails. Then, it pulled up its anchor and sailed back into the sea.
Instead, after sailing for 5-6 nautical miles, Sheyan issued an order – Advance at half speed! Although the sailors didn't understand the reason behind such a command, they naturally obeyed their captain's command.
After sailing for another 7-8 nautical miles. The lookout Ol 'Seadog then called for someone to report, informing them that there were two British navy' III 'class ships aggressively pursuing them from behind. Most likely, they were the two ships that were sold off not long ago. It seemed like they were harboring malicious intentions.
Sheyan chuckled heartily.
"As expected, those bastards are here. Sasu! It's time for you to perform. Take note to maintain the ship's speed. Those bastards should be new to sailing. Maintain this distance with them, and drag them to a place where they can't escape before I deal with them. "
Sasu was a taciturn individual. After listening to Sheyan's orders, he began leisurely directing the sailors to operate the ship. To him, such a trivial matter didn't require him to personally take action.
At this moment, a thought flashed through Brother Black's mind like a spark from a flint.
"Everything …... I'm afraid boss had planned this a long time ago!!"
That's right. Ever since he had sold off those two third rate ships, Sheyan had already begun scheming. The ships he had seized were all active warships of the British Royal Navy. It could be said that they were rather decent in terms of combat capabilities. Hence, even when placed in a pirate port like Tortuga, they were still considered top grade goods.
Therefore, those contestants who pursued efficiency in naval warfare would definitely purchase those two third rate ships. Back then, Sheyan had a hundred different methods to fetch Joshamee away. Yet, he had chosen the highest profile method. Naturally, it was to incite their fury.
Those contestants didn't dare to act within a 'safe zone' like Tortuga. Moreover, they probably couldn't act within Sheyan's destination, Port Royal. Hence, undoubtedly, they could only engage in battle within the ocean.
They had previously heard of Sheyan's grand deeds in Tortuga port. However, hearing about it wasn't as shocking as witnessing it with their own eyes. More importantly, those contestants weren't fools. They were extremely clear that if Sheyan could truly command the kraken octopus Paul to fight for him, then due to the consideration of balance, the realm wouldn't possibly be placed in the same world as them!
Therefore, those contestants had treated Sheyan's previous actions as a bluff!! Towards a bluffing brat, they would definitely charge forward aggressively to challenge Sheyan to a duel. Yet, all of this coincidentally fell into Sheyan's plans!
The two third rate ships loaded with contestants peeked out from the distant sea. Instead, Sheyan's lips curled into a smirk as he shouted towards Ol 'Seadog who was still surveying.
"How long more before the enemy catches up?"
Ol 'Seadog's broken gong voice immediately reverberated through the sea breeze.
"Cap 'n, if you insist on my answer, then it's impossible to catch up in a lifetime. Their ships are loaded with at least 70 cannons. Those fools can't wait to install a 7-pounder cannon on top of the mast. I really admire the sailor of these two ships. Even with such a load, they can still move the ship at such a speed. "
Sheyan laughed heartily.
"Then let's do it this way, Saks. Maintain the current situation. Once we're 200 nautical miles away from Tortuga, we'll allow them to approach within 800 metres. Under such circumstances, they can only bombard us with their bow cannon. When that happens, it's time for you to perform, AK. "
Here, the difference between 'effective range' and 'maximum range' must be mentioned. For example, official statistics could confirm that the effective range of an AK was only 300 metres, but its theoretical range was close to a kilometre. However, to a firearm, its maximum range was akin to a C bra on a heavily made-up face, with no way to fathom it …..
Indeed, even though Sheyan's ships had completely abandoned long range attacks, Brother Black's' Wasp 'pistol could still be used as a sniper rifle. Although its range was indeed inferior to ordinary sniper rifles, the' Wasp 'pistol already possessed a monstrous attribute of 300 metres. In addition, Brother Black's basic ability also had an attribute of increasing the effective range. Furthermore, his equipment was also equipped with' Precision Modification '. Hence, his effective range had reached 800 metres!! (To be continued.) If you like this work, I welcome you to donate your recommendation votes or monthly votes to me.
