Chapter 32: 32. Sea Trap

Not long after Sky Bird was killed, One-eyed found Flora privately and said that he wanted to test Flora's eyesight. He felt that if Flora's eyesight was really that good, it shouldn't be buried. Flora agreed without asking too much.

One-eyed wrote a few small words in the palm of his hand and let Flora see them from a distance.

Flora narrowed her eyes, stared at it for a while, and said embarrassedly, "What did you write? I don't know how to read."

One-eyed had to change the way. He clicked some points in the palm of his hand and asked her to say how many the points were. This was not difficult for Flora, she could say it every time. One-eyed was amazed, Flora's eyesight really surpassed ordinary people.

Seeing that the two of them were having a good time, Tonk also joined in. After inquiring about the ins and outs, he also joined them together. It was like testing the degree of the eyes. However, at the same distance, the dots he saw were so densely packed that he couldn't count them.

Tonk laughed and said, "Hey, this is also a skill. If Flora takes an exam, she can get a high score by this."

One-eyed and Flora didn't understand, so they didn't answer Tonk's words.

One-eyed suddenly looked at Flora a little higher, and said to her, "You should follow me to learn how to shoot. Your eyesight is much better than ordinary people's. It's a waste not to learn how to shoot."

"Is this okay?" Flora said hesitantly.

Tonk waved his hand and said, "Just follow it."

Just like that, One Eye began to teach Flora to shoot.

Tonk didn't expect Flora to become a great gunslinger, but rather hoped that Flora will take up the position of a lookout. This vision was too suitable for a lookout. But it was also well that let One-eyed teach Flora some sailing knowledge by the way.

Flora herself didn't have any opinion. One-eyed said he wanted to teach, and she followed. It took her three days to memorize the names of the parts for the musket, and another day to learn how to reload. One-eyed didn't comment, but Tonk scolded Flora for being too slow to learn.

As soon as Flora heard Tonk's words that she was stupid, the tears she choked back started to swirl again. She worked hard after that, and her learning speed suddenly increased. Seeing that the conspiracy had succeeded, Tonk secretly sighed that the trick was really easy to use.

Flora had learned the basics. Finally, it was her turn to shoot live ammunition.

"Do you see that target? You treat it as your enemy and shoot at the head, neck, and left chest." One-eyed pointed at the target at the stern. The target was actually a cross with several wooden boards nailed to it, and draw the key parts with red dots.

Flora nodded, trembling all over with excitement, fine sweat oozing from her wheat-colored forehead.

"Don't break my boat." Tonk reminded him, he really felt sorry for the boat.

Flora became more nervous, One-eyed comforted her, and kept instilling a message that the scarecrow was her enemy. Flora subconsciously thought of Nahum, and the scarecrow slowly changed in her sight, turning into a profiteer with a mole next to his nose.

"Fire!" Tonk urged.

"Ah!"

Flora screamed, but did not shoot. Her weak body slumped to the ground. She lowered her head, and a few drops of sweat fell on the legs stretched out under the short animal skin skirt.

She didn't have the courage to kill, so she didn't fire the shot.

One-eyed was very disappointed. He was not interested in teaching Flora anymore, so he turned around and left.

"I'm really useless." Flora buried her face in the shadows.

Tonk felt that it would be a loss of pirate demeanor to let the little girl cry here, so he sat on the deck carelessly, and comforted, "Not at all. You are good at rubbing the shoulders. I'm quite satisfied."

Flora's face turned red, and a few more drops of tears fell from her cheeks, slapped on the deck, and shattered into tiny bits of foam.

Tonk grabbed the pistol that fell on the ground, played with his hand a few times, pointed at the scarecrow, and said lightly, "If it was my sister who was spoiled by Nahum, and if it was my clan that they couldn't afford because Nahum, and if I went to Nahum and was kicked out by him, what do you think I should do to him?"

Flora's eyes flashed in the shadow, and asked, "What would you do to him?"

Bump!

Tonk shot the scarecrow, but his marksmanship was poor. It was still far from the red dot. He stood up, threw the gun on the ground, and said lightly, "Practice your gun well. If you get the chance, I'll let you kill that Nahum bastard. If you can't get it, just think your sister was sold to Black Triangle. No matter how weak a person is, it must be fiercer than a rabbit, right?"

Flora was greatly touched. When Tonk mentioned her sister, her heart was broken. She clenched her small fists and set her eyes on the lying pistol. She wiped away her tears and told herself that she could no longer be cowardly. The clansmen were still waiting for her to rescue her, and she still didn't know her sister where was.

After Flora gathered up her courage, she fired a trembling shot. The huge recoil pushed her to the ground. She groaned in pain and touched her round little butt.

In the days that followed, Flora practiced guns all day long. In the actual shooting, her progress was much faster than when she memorized knowledge. She aimed very accurately, but she couldn't hold the gun. After a few days, her purlicue was cracked.

Seeing Flora's serious training, One-eyed began to teach her again, but his teaching attitude was fierce.

Flora practiced guns all day long, and her bullet consumption was like running water. Tonk began to feel distressed about these bullets and ordered Flora to reduce the time for gun training.

There was still a big battle waiting for the Evil Dragon Pirates and they must conserve ammunition.

The Black Pearl was relatively brisk. They had been rushing in front of the Nahum caravan, heading for the sea that must pass.

Tonk checked the position with the coordinates of the system. When he felt he get a suitable place, he ordered the ship to stop and act according to the plan. Like a sinister hunter, the Evil Dragon Pirates began to lay traps here.

"Guys, didn't you want to know at the beginning what are those strange things for? The answer will soon be found." Tonk said, licking his lips like a beast.

……

Two large ships sailed in front of the waves, each with three main masts. Three different flags flew at the top of the masts. One was the flag of the Greenland Empire, the other was The flag of the Clover Business Alliance, and the one of the Nahum Pharmaceutical Company.

Both ships were brown-red and divided into four decks. Two in the hull and two above the hull, like a mobile fortress. One of the ships was mainly used to transport cargo and had more cargo holds. The other ship was in charge of escort with twenty-four guns on each side of the hull, adding up to forty-eight cannons. That was not counting the small cannons on the deck.

With a whole boatload of medicine, Nahum could make a lot of money just by going to a few coastal cities.

He was going to attend a meeting of the Clover Business Alliance this time, so he went out to sea in person and sat on the Ares. The Lucky used to transport the goods was driven by other captains.

Although it was on the sea, Nahum's life was not boring. He owned a spacious and rich mansion on the ship. He could still live a luxurious life every day.

The three-person bed was covered with a velvet quilt, on which were kneeling two naked women. Their wrists were tied by ropes, the other end was hanging from the ceiling, and their backs had bloodstains from whiplashes.

Despite the pain in their backs, the two women had to make soft and delightful voices, begging Nahum to continue whipping them both. Accompanied by all kinds of numb and gentle moans, the waist twist like a snake.

Nahum was the kind of guy who liked to play tricks on women. Recently, he has become obsessed with this kind of sadistic intercourse, which has caused the two female slaves to suffer.

Suddenly there was an untimely knock on the door, and Nahum asked displeasedly, "What's the matter?"

"Boss Nahum, I found a strange ship in the sea ahead. Please decide what to do with it." The herald stood outside the door and said respectfully. The sound could still be heard from the room, but his expression was as usual. He looked very calm and capable.

Nahum whipped two whips in a hurry, and the two female slaves snorted twice. Then he threw away the whips and tidied up his clothes in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and said, "Heyhey, wait for me. I'll be back in a while."

Nahum went out of the house, through a red-carpeted hallway, and onto the deck. There were more than fifty crew members and sailors busy above. When they saw Nahum coming out, they all saluted and paid their respects.

He strode to the bow, took the telescope, and looked forward.

On the sea directly ahead, a black and red medium-sized ship was parked. The flag of the Clover Business Alliance was also hung on the mast, indicating that it was also a merchant ship. The surrounding sea was littered with sawdust, the sails were damaged, and there were seven or eight corpses hanging on the side rails of the ship. It looked like a battle had just happened.

Nahum ordered the two ships to approach slowly so that he could see more clearly. There were two large chests on the ship, filled with gold coins, and many others were scattered on the ground. There was also a living one on the boat. The man seemed to be dying. He was half-kneeling. There was blood on his stomach. His mouth was opened and closed as if asking for help.

A wrecked ship full of gold coins looks like a pie on the sea, full of temptation with fragrance.

"Boss, be careful. I suspect this is a trap from pirates. This is a trick they often play." The first mate on the ship suggested wisely.

Nahum said disapprovingly, "What threat do you see with that little broken ship? It's just a medium-sized ship. Even a merchant ship is enough to deal with it. What are you afraid of? Lean over. Everyone is ready to fight, and beware of them cheating."

If a merchant could see a ship full of gold and not be tempted, the sun would come out of the toilet.
