Chapter 31: 31. Sky Bird

There were two kinds of sterns of sailboats, round and square. Both had advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, the square stern can reduce the loss of water flow energy and reduce the water flow resistance, which can speed up the sailing speed. And the tail is square, and the deck is wider, which is conducive to combat.

Because of these advantages, the Black Pearl resolutely chose the square tail. It needed speed to catch up with its prey, and it also needed a wide deck battlefield.

Tonk stood on the wooden rail at the stern, unbuttoned his trousers, and peed leisurely downwind. The orange-yellow liquid was blown far away by the wind and fell into the sea.

The sailors on both sides looked at Tonk with admiration, and their loyalty increased slightly. Don't underestimate this skill. There had been many sailors who had imitated Tonk's approach, but they had all failed. Some were unsteady on the wooden railings, blown into the sea by the wind, and disappeared. Others ignored the wind direction, the liquid was blown back by the wind.

When the sailors understood how difficult it was, they called it a master skill!

Being stared at by a group of men with admiration, Tonk was under a lot of pressure when he urinated.

Today was a little different. Besides the man, there was a woman who was also blushing in admiration for Tonk's skill, which was Flora.

"What's the matter looking for me?" Before Tonk's pants were tied, he jumped down carelessly.

Flora's wheat-colored face couldn't hide the blushes. She had never seen someone as disrespectful as Tonk. Even the men in the tribe had never urinated in public.

"Tell me, what's the matter." Tonk didn't like hesitation. He glared at the sailors, "What are you doing here? Go to work. Have the cannon been cleaned? Is the deck clean? If you have nothing else to do, go to the bow and press the sideboard."

The so-called sideboard is to stand on the port or starboard side and use one's own body weight to speed up the sailboat.

Flora followed behind Tonk, stepped over a few scattered cables, and stammered: "I-I want to ask you, will you help our people on Starfish Island?"

"Who knows."

Tonk didn't like to promise anything easily because he would do what he said. If he promised someone something, he must find a way to do it. Whether his trip would go smoothly was still unknown, it was better not to make random promises.

He replaced One-eyed at the helm and personally controlled the direction of the Black Pearl. Steering is a job that captains often do.

Flora wrapped around Tonk and refused to leave. She went back and forth on two things: one was to ask Tonk to help her, and the other was to complain to Tonk. The residents of Starfish Island had already died tens of thousands of people because of this plague. The people on the island were familiar with each other, just like relatives. Now, thousands more sick residents were waiting to save their lives with medication.

Tonk listened tirelessly, turning the rudder with his hands to follow the direction of the wind, and said, "Idlers are too scary. It seems that I have to find something for you to do. Look at what you can do on this ship?"

Flora saw that Tonk was annoying her and felt aggrieved. She bit her lip and said, "I can be a slave for you as long as you promise to help me. As long as it can save the lives of the people on the island."

"To be honest, I'm not good at saving people but quite agile in killing people. If you can rub my shoulders and serve me comfortably, I'll consider helping you. How about that?"

Flora was the daughter of the patriarch of the clan, and her status was also very high. But on this ship, her status was only above the troubler. She couldn't let go of the slightest hope, so she obediently went around behind Tonk, lifted her feet, and kneaded her small hands on those broad and stocky shoulders.

"Good job," Tonk said happily.

"Comfortable?"

"It's more comfortable."

"Then can you help my clan?"

"We'll talk about this later. You serve it well first. Move to the left, move to the left. That's right."

Tonk was considered to be disconnected from the toiling people. And since then, he always bossed Flora around every day. Either squeezing the shoulders or pounding the back, or sending wine.

Because the captain's life was too moist, the sailors were very resentful.

Fortunately, one day happened with a storm. The sound of the rolling waves was like thunder. The sea was overwhelming. The sky was covered with dark clouds. The pea-sized raindrops were pouring down. The Black Pearl was in danger of overturning at any time in the waves.

Tonk stepped forward, took the helm himself, and commanded the sailors in the raging heavy rain. He was soaked by the rain and drove the Black Pearl through the storm in confound. His captain rank was too low to drive this mid-sized ship.

After the rain and the sky, the colorful rainbow was very beautiful. It was like a piece of silk hanging on an angel's body.

Seeing the captain working so hard, the sailors finally regained their balance. The captain was not so easy to be, and it was natural to have a little girl to serve.

On this day, Tonk lay leisurely on the beach chair. The sea was calm. The sun was warm and pleasant. Flora on the side was smashing dried fruit for him to eat.

"Captain, there is a strange bird in the sky!" a sailor shouted.

Tonk didn't even lift his eyelids and said lightly: "Shoot it down. Extra meal at night. Remember to make it a salty stew."

One-eyed shook his head helplessly and took a look. The strange bird in the sky was bigger than an eagle. It had blue-white feathers all over its body, which were the same color as the sky. The sailor discovered it by accident. In the sea, the captain's order is supreme. The sailors throw caution to the wind and wanted to shoot down the strange bird with guns and bows.

The small hammer in Flora's hand was hanging in the air. She raised her head and murmured, "This bird is so beautiful, even its eyes are blue."

One-eyed was quite surprised. He glanced at Flora. She could see the eyes of the strange bird from such a distance. This eyesight was extraordinary. Could it be that Flora would be a good musketeer?

The strange bird was too far away. It was beyond their range and the bullets and bows and arrows all missed.

"How about we hit it with a cannon?"

A daring sailor suggested, and then pushed the cannon over with several other sailors and adjusted the muzzle to the sky. This cannon came with a base with wheels on it for easy movement.

"Don't be ridiculous. The cannon can't hit that high. The strange bird won't hit it by then and the cannonball may smash the boat." One-eyed shouted.

One-eyed was not only a musketeer, he also played the role of first mate on the ship because of his rich experience. In addition to the captain, the sailors also listened to his orders and stopped.

The blue-and-white strange bird moved upon hearing the sound. It chirped a few times, circled under the air current, swooped. It seemed that it wanted to peck away a crew member and return to the nest.

One-eyed became nervous. The strange bird was much larger than the eye- predicted. When it flew closer, its wingspan was four yards long.

"Captain, be careful! The strange bird is down!" the sailors shouted. On the boat, the sailor was the captain's intimate jacket.

When Tonk heard it was so urgent, he opened his eyes, and the shadow cast by the strange bird just shrouded him.

"Fuck, why didn't you say earlier it's so big!" Tonk's face changed greatly. He bounced off the beach chair, raised his gun, and shot.

The others were not idle either. After the strange bird approached, bullets and bows and arrows shot out like raindrops. Especially the sailors with bows and arrows hidden in the shipbuilding. They were good at shooting and had half a star in the long-range attacks.

The strange bird was in constant pain with a few bows and arrows stuck in its belly. It raised its head and did not dare to come down, and flew up again. But it grabbed the sail along the way. The sailors scrambled to dodge. Seeing that sails were gone, Tonk cursed in anger.

The strange bird missed a single hit but did not give up. It was entangled in the Black Pearl and refuses to fly away. It had tried several times and had found out the attack range of the Black Pearl. It flew in the periphery, but the people did not dare to relax their vigilance. It took half an hour and both sides consumed a lot of energy.

"The next time it comes over, I'll shoot it in the eye." One-eyed said grimly. He kept holding the gun and never put it down for fear of missing the chance to shoot.

Tonk kicked Troubler and said, "Come on. If you shoot it down, I will give you more food in the future."

The troubler grunted a few times in pain, stretched out his palm, and touched the belly that was kicked twice. He stared at the strange bird in the sky and a cannonball in its mouth ready to go.

The blue monster circled and killed it from the stern. It could see the situation clearly. If it attacked from the stern, it would suffer the least blow. It flew very low, and the strong wind under its wings caused a wave of waves on the sea surface.

"Don't get in the way! Get out of the way!"

It was Tonk who was speaking. He was carrying a big sword on his back with the body of the sword parallel to his shoulders. This was a special guard and this guard was to increase the power of heavy slash! He saved all the strength in his body and felt his arms faintly warm. He couldn't help roaring loudly.

The people on the boat dodged to the sides like separate waves. The strange bird flew over close to the deck, directly smashed a thinner sub-mast, and then met Tonk.

Everyone who saw this scene held their breath, and the hearts of others were suspended. Only One-eyed this guy released the trigger, and his expression was much more relaxed.

Heavy Slash!

Tonk slashed the big sword diagonally in the middle of the strange bird's head, just like killing a chicken. The bird's head was separated from its body. Its heavy body fell on the deck. Its wings fluttered a few times, and it didn't move.
