How To Survive as a 10000 Hour Freebie Pirate

Episode 16

##016

A battleship with a white whale holding a skull in its mouth and waving flags.

A second class battleship with a whopping 90 guns.

It was too much for a pirate to operate.

“It’s an unusual battleship.”

An old man with pale skin, uncharacteristic of a seaman, opened his mouth in a gruff voice.

“Looking at the paint style, it looks like a warship. I know that the Thrang Empire is good at coloring things like that.”

“is it? Serang’s warship has some business here.”

He didn’t like the Thrang Empire very much.

By the way, the source of this battleship was also captured from them and used as a flagship.

He also played a big role in becoming the Pirate King.

“I do not know. I wonder if they are calling the captain, who is the King of Pirates, to see them proudly waiting after open fire like that.”

Otherwise, there would be no reason for warships to come here and do such strange things.

For reference, warships were not allowed to enter the pirate island.

“I will just send someone. You are ignorant. Could it be because of that?”

“Maybe that’s the case?”

For the pirates, the biggest issue right now would be the fight between the Thrang Empire and the Ingleson Kingdom.

The two countries were like brothers.

The two countries facing each other across a strait fight each other when bored, so aren’t they true brothers?

“Aren’t these really arrogant things? If you join the war on their side, they will recognize you as the king.”

Just symbolically called the pirate king, he does not rule over or control the pirates.

The pirate king is the owner of the island who has to be looked upon favorably.

Pirates just need a safe port of call.

In fact, there are many ports that accept pirates.

No, all ports do not allow pirates to anchor.

It’s just a question of whether or not there was a bounty for robbing a country’s merchant ships.

“Are you trying to communicate?”

“no. Let’s talk face to face. Besides, that’s a ship I’m very interested in, so I’ll take a look.”

“yes. Captain.”

Five battleships surrounded the Going Misha in a semicircle.

The other four ships were also class 3 battleships.

“hmm?”

The huge old man who came up to the deck tilted his head.

I thought he was an envoy from the Thrang Empire, but isn’t Koraksuni a pirate without fail?

furthermore.

“What kid are you?”

When the pirate king showed up, wasn’t one of the children bowing politely?

Judging by the crew’s reaction, he seemed to be the captain.

“I will see you in a long time. Captain Garp.”

A man who looked like a bandit next to the kid shouted loudly.

“Ohh~ Were you the vice-captain of the Ormond Pirates? Come to think of it, I see other guys who are a little familiar. Where is your captain going? And what else is that kid?”

“I was unlucky enough to be killed by those guys. So you got a new one. as our captain.”

What is the vice-captain’s face… A look of pride.

“Is that kid?”

“Isn’t it the rule of our world to become a captain if you have good skills? ha ha ha.”

“okay. You’re not wrong. will you come over here? little captain? A drink or a glass of milk.”

The Pirate King, Gerp, said with a chuckle like a grandfather seeing his grandson.

“I won’t hesitate to give you a drink.”

“Ha ha ha. How are you?”

“Isn’t the pirate king grandfather also a king?”

“I mean. And because it’s not fisherman. Go get some milk.”

Looking down at Lian from the deck of the battleship, he fluttered his cloak and disappeared inside.

“This is unexpected.”

“Don’t worry too much. Because that old man isn’t so insidious.”

The vice-captain gave advice with a relaxed face.

Ryan knew too.

‘That’s why I’m going to die.’

It wasn’t long before the pirate king changed.

After participating as a mercenary in the naval battle between the Thrang Empire and the Ingleson Kingdom, he was shot in the back and drowned with that ship.

The next pirate king is Planck, the one who hit the back of the head.

Planck’s ending wasn’t so good either. Later, he was brutally killed by Charlotte Berry.

Of course, the next pirate king is just Lian’s handmaid.

Charrr!!!

When Sebas, the supply commander, put on his spirit armor and stretched out his hand, a tree trunk stretched out.

The tree trunk connected the Going Missha and the battleships.

“Oh clothes!”

“Don’t be too impressed. because it’s embarrassing Rather, our ship is not wooden, so it is a bit difficult.”

he said with a smile.

Because he was wearing the earth spirit armor, he was able to rapidly grow plants.

He was holding a flowerpot in one hand.

“Should I plant a tangerine tree?”

Ryan laughed and said.

If there is a warrior wearing earth spirit armor, there is no reason why you cannot plant a large fruit tree on your ship.

“Why would you do such a useless thing?! Sometimes he looks like an old kid, but at times like this, he’s a perfect kid.”

“Captain. Planting trees isn’t very efficient. They are expensive to maintain.”

When the vice-captain complained, Sebas, who was in charge of supplies and accounting, agreed.

Growing plants on a boat is, of course, expensive, as it seems useless compared to the cost.

Moreover, there is already a lot of work, so wouldn’t it be more work?

On this ship, the earth attribute is only you.

“Uncles. Do you know what causes scurvy?”

“Isn’t that the curse of the sea? Captain.”

“What does the little boy know? You must have heard the superstition that scurvy will escape if you plant tangerines somewhere.”

Unlike the vice-captain, supply commander Sebas gave an easy explanation. and additionally.

“How many times do pirates like us go out to the distant sea anyway? That’s great.”

“There will be more in the future. Look forward to it. Doo~!”

Lian grinned.

Rather than starting as a Count of the Territory, I wondered if it was luck to start as a pirate with freedom of movement.

Isn’t this an opportunity to spend a lot of money to hire adventurers or collect items that need to be purchased through black market auctions?

“what. It goes over at once.”

“Please go.”

As the vice-captain lifted Lian into the arms of the princess, Sebas lowered his head.

The stem connected to the battleship was slippery and steep, so Lian’s skills would not allow him to cross it alone.

swish!! Poof!!!

The vice-captain skillfully stepped on the stem and ran.

after that… … .

“Why are you following me?”

“Bocchan is leaving, and I, the lady-in-waiting, must follow.”

Surprisingly, it was Charlotte Berry who followed closely behind the vice-captain.

I stepped on the slippery stem casually and followed.

“Little Captain. Is that girl going to be the sword master’s granddaughter?”

“Rather than that, since I’m too embarrassed about my posture right now, can’t I have a wooden horse? Vice-captain?”

Rian said politely without provocation because he had something he wanted.

“what. If our captain wants it.”

The words that go are good, so the words that come are good.

The vice-captain was also in a bad mood, so he switched from hugging the princess to a wooden horse.

“let’s go!! Hey hey hey!!”

“Ugh. You changed it for nothing.”

A vice-captain who immediately regrets it.

chuck! chuck!!

It didn’t take long to climb the battleship.

“Oh clothes!”

Lian admired the deck of the battleship.

Compared to the Going Missha, the deck was as wide as a playground.

Soccer is over, but wouldn’t it be okay to play basketball?

“Welcome to my ship. Little Captain.”

Then a huge old man spread his arms in the distance.

In front of him was a large table and food.

“Hey! Come on. let’s go. Vice-Captain.”

The vice-captain, who suddenly became ridiculous, gave up and quickly ran to the place where the pirate king was.

As soon as Lian arrived, he jumped off and greeted me politely.

“Thank you for the invitation. Pirate King Grandpa.”

As dainty and cute as possible.

“Heh heh heh. cute man. cute. Gerald, I envy you to have such a cute captain. I envy you. It’s about time!”

Suddenly, he told his old story and told an anecdote about serving the captain who was beaten.

Vice-captain Gerald shook his head.

“this. You’ve kept the guest you invited in too long. Come sit down.”

Pirate King Gerf shook his hand.

Looking closely, I saw that my body was a little uncomfortable.

widely!

He served Lian milk.

Squeeze.

He poured rum into a large bowl the size of Lian’s head.

In fact, even before I poured that alcohol, I could smell the alcohol subtly.

“I’m not a drunkard, so don’t look at me that way. Because my body is rotting from the inside out. It’s hard to get through the day without washing it down with alcohol.”

because of the curse

It could never be unlocked without a high-ranking priest and special materials.

That’s why I live with alcohol. It is a curse that is incompatible with alcohol.

“So that ship was taken from the Thrang Empire?”

“I am also very good at steering a boat. Pirate King Grandpa.”

Seeing Lian’s tongue-in-cheek tone, the vice-captain was startled.

Despite being a kid, he was usually a clear-spoken guy.

‘This guy. Did you drink milk and get drunk? Could it be cuteness?!’

Ryan had a ulterior motive.

Because I know a little about the Pirate King Garp.

he likes children

A boy too.

I am not an idealist.

Since her grandson died not long ago, she showed a weak side to a boy of Lian’s age.

Lian was doing that to score points with the Pirate King.

‘No matter how big the distribution of the Pirate King is, the Going Misha is a ship to be coveted.’

That prediction was correct to some extent.

“Will you sell me that boat? Hit me so I don’t get upset. Enough to form a Karak-class squadron.”

“no way. Why do pirates need squadrons? Not even a merchant. All it takes is a fast boat.”

Ryan laughed and said.

“You’re not an ordinary kid. chuckle.”

This is the essence of pirates.

If you rush around, you will only become a target.

Just going fast and plundering was a hundred times better.

“Wouldn’t it be possible to earn a lot by participating in the war as a mercenary? The sea is always a place of constant conflict.”

Pirates are public enemies, but sometimes they become mercenaries in battles between nations or territories.

“Later on, only enemies will increase.”

“Ha ha ha. covetous little boy If only I was ten years younger If so, make another suggestion.”

“I will listen.”

‘I’ll give it to you if you see me doing it.’

Lian sat down and took a sip of milk.

“I think the Thrang Empire and the Ingleson Kingdom will fight each other this time.”

“Are you recruiting me as a mercenary?”

“Anyway, you guys also stole the Thrang Empire’s ship, so it wouldn’t be a bad suggestion. I received a request from the Ingleson Kingdom.”

Reconciliation with the Serang Empire was over.

He said that if the Serang Empire’s ships were reduced in this naval battle, Lian’s side wouldn’t be bad either.

“The ransom is a bit high, but I don’t know if it will be okay. And I don’t want to receive more anger from the Thrang Empire… … .”

At Lian’s words, the man with the black beard shouted loudly.

“cheeky!! Where is the subject of pirates like a pyramid!!”

“stop!”

Pirate King Gerp raises one hand to stop him.

Rian glanced at the blushing person.

‘That guy looks like the tyrant Planck.’

If history went according to history, Berry would cut his throat.

Even in the midst of his anger, his eyes were fixed on Berry.

By the way, this guy is a pedophile.

‘I’m cute, so I should be even more careful!’

This guy doesn’t discriminate between boys and girls.

He’s a very nasty guy.

“so. How much will it be?”

The pirate king, Gerp, has made a deal.
