Hurry!

After receiving Rock's sure answer, Elizabeth's nervous heart finally calmed down. She hurriedly jumped back to her cargo ship, returned to the helm room, and began to control the cargo ship to move closer to the Dragon again.

Rock stood at the edge of the deck of the Dragon, holding the railings with both hands, looking at the endless ocean in the distance.

The violent waves rolled, and the burning clouds dyed the entire sea red, as if the entire ocean had been ignited, making it look a bit magnificent.

Just like his current mood.

"Hey, Rock, don't you really want to... fight the Ghost Tiger Shark Pirates, are you not crazy?"

Bonnie had just conveyed Rock's orders, and hurried back. He stood beside Rock, scratching his curly red beard and asked in a low voice.

The cruel name of the Ghost Tiger Shark Pirates is not a joke in the Margori Sea.

What's more, the pirate ship that is rushing over now is a medium-sized pirate ship, which is more than three times larger than the Dragon. Whether it is manpower or weapons, it is far more than the Dragon!

Bonnie really doesn't know where Rock got the courage!

This is no different from seeking death!

Although Bonnie was also attracted by the Douqi Crystal and the map of that island just now, he didn't expect to really fight the ghost tiger shark for these things. He just wanted to...

He caught Elizabeth and then found a way to get the things.

"Bonnie."

Rock's eyes retracted from the burning ocean, then turned around and grabbed the bearded man's shoulder with force. He frowned and said with a scorching heat similar to the bright red ocean,

"I understand what you mean, but don't you think this girl is very interesting? She is willing to give up the hope of family rise for her crew and abandon the rare island map for her. This is very admirable. She is the same person as us, so..."

"Enough Rock, I know your personality."

Bonnie broke down Rock's hand on his shoulder and said in a deep voice,

"You won't take such a big danger for the sake of mutual appreciation. To be honest, what did you find? I am different from Lao Hei. I will not be confused about accompanying you to die."

"Ha ha……"

Rock grinned awkwardly, and the burning gaze in his eyes returned to calm, and then he smiled,

"Can your stargazers see through the eyes of people's hearts? It's best to describe you as a cunning fox."

Speaking of this, Rock paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and came to Bonnie and whispered,

"Since you guessed it, I won't hide it from you. Do you still remember what this girl said before about the origin of the Douqi Crystal Island Map?"

"He said... the Merck family? Grandfather's grandfather, had he been a pirate?"

Bonnie frowned, recalling Elizabeth's previous words, and then seemed to think of something. The lowered head suddenly raised, and an unconcealed shock appeared in his eyes.

There is a pirate city in the Margori Sea, which is a paradise for pirates and a safe haven for all pirates.

This is because of the existence of the Atlantic Convention.

The convention balances all land countries along the Atlantic coast. Even the Kobelon Empire, the strongest navy, cannot send any fleet to come here to find trouble for pirates within three hundred years.

The origin of this Atlantic Convention is related to the ten most famous pirate groups.

It was the Pirate City they established, and it also forced the Atlantic countries to sign this convention with the Pirate City.

They are gods believed in by all pirates in the Margori Sea.

Even now, the Pirate City still retains the tradition they set at that time, and the ten most powerful pirate groups jointly manage the Pirate City.

No, to be exact, nine!

Because of the tenth seat, after something happened, it was completely empty.

That thing was that Captain Merck, one of the ten most powerful pirates, took most of his men to betray the Pirate City.

He defected to the Kobelon Empire, which was still very weak at the time.

He used his pirate sailors as his foundation to help the Kobelon Empire build an invincible tulip fleet.

The black tulips swept across the West Atlantic coast in the next thirty years, reducing the sphere of influence of the pirates' activities by a full third.

The Merck family has thus become the most powerful nobles in the Kobelon Empire.

...

Although no one knows the reason for Captain Merck's betrayal back then, everyone knows this.

Recently, some new news about the Merck family has been reported in the Kobelon Empire.

There was political turmoil in the empire. The Merck family was quickly stripped of the political center because they stood in the wrong team. Then, they were suppressed by the empire and the new nobles, and they had quickly declined.

These history seem to be surprisingly consistent with what Elizabeth said.

...

"You think...she is..."

The bearded man recalled everything related to it as fast as possible, and then, he seemed to understand something.

"good."

Rock grabbed the railing on the boat hard, and his eyes reappeared with anticipation and heat, and then asked in a low voice,

"You understand what I mean now?"

The bearded man's breathing became more rapid without being controlled. He scratched the red beard and stuttered,

"I understand. If she was really the descendant of Captain Merck, then she would never have only one map of Douqi Crystal Island in her hand. The ten pirate groups a hundred years ago, the wealth they hid were unimaginable!"

"You're smart."

Rock turned around and patted his shoulder, then excited flashed on his face, saying,

"And, even if we guessed it wrong, this transaction is very suitable. A Douqi Crystal Island, the wealth there is enough for us to fight for a hundred years less. This kind of adventure is worth it."

"You cunning oriental... I just acted like this. I almost really thought that you were attracted by the quality of that girl. If I hadn't known you..."

The bearded man looked at Rock's spirited look and shook his head with a bitter smile.

Even his partner who had worked with Rock for a long time was almost deceived, so Elizabeth must have been unable to escape. Now, I am afraid that he has really regarded Rock as a different pirate.

"but……"

But what they have to face this time is the Ghost Tiger Shark Pirates Group. The most brutal and largest pirate in the Margori Sea, and the other side is a medium-sized pirate ship.

Bonnie's worry was still strong, he swallowed and asked in a stuttering manner.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I won't fight them hard, I plan to get ahead of my wits."

Rock stroked a handful of greasy black hair in the fishy sea breeze, and then his pupils flashed with cruelty and cunning similar to the hunting of beasts.

After a moment of pause, the cruelty suddenly dissipated. He looked at Bonnie with a smile and asked,

"But big bearded, you have to help me confirm whether there is that bald man on that ship. You also know that the hatred between us is as deep as the sea... If it is his ship, no matter how much interest it is, I will have to run away!"

"You're also afraid of death?"

Bonnie raised his head and teased him curiously.

"I thought you were not afraid of heaven or earth."

"Why am I not afraid of death? I have so much wealth, how can I enjoy it after I die? Do you want to be cheaper? Dreaming!"

Rock shook his black hair very casually and snorted.

Bonnie gave Rock a blank look and hummed

"Don't worry, this ship is not a bald man's ship. I saw the mark on their ship, the No. 7 ship inside the ghost tiger shark. Their captain is a butcher, and he doesn't deal with Bald man, so Bald man must not be there."

“Big bearded guy is really useful, haha.”

Rock's smile became stronger, then he hugged the latter's shoulder and walked towards the cabin of the Dragon, smiling,
Chapter completed!
