At night, William was patrolling the boat with a wind light. He first went to the cabin where the crew rested and checked whether the candles used as light sources were extinguished. He checked several flammable areas, and helped to improve the quilts that fell while sleeping for several new crew members, and also thoughtfully helped to tuck the corners of the quilt.

Of course, William's move will always "inevitably" awaken the other person. At this time, he will smile and make gestures, signaling the other person not to speak out, and act like a demeanor of doing good deeds without leaving a name, which will move a group of new people who have just gotten on the boat and are full of anxiety in their hearts when facing unfamiliar environments in their lives.

After leaving the cabin, he greeted the pirates on the night side along the way, reminding the newcomers from time to time to be careful not to illuminate them, or throwing a cigarette for the old pirate, and making a few jokes before leaving.

William's biggest expense in the time he was on the ship was the money for buying cigarettes. He didn't know how long it took for the pirate ship to dock and enter the human area. Compared with the alcohol used as a reserve of materials on the ship, cigarettes could only be prepared by the pirates. Some inexperienced newcomers, or pirates who spent money and failed to reserve enough tobacco were cut off shortly after sailing. Sometimes when the pirates who had no food became addicted to smoking, they would throw a pack to the other party. On the ship, cigarettes and alcohol can sometimes win favors to others.

In addition, because he was in the enemy camp, he was under a lot of psychological pressure. He did not dare to rely on drinking to vent his feelings, but could only rely on smoking to relieve the pressure. Over time, he became addicted to smoking.

Some newcomers who were close to William's age watched him chatting and laughing with the old pirates with some envy. From the stern to the bow, it seemed that his friends were everywhere on the boat.

This is of course an illusion. Although William, who gradually tear off the disguise, has regained his versatile personality, he is not Bailey, and it is impossible for everyone to like it.

At the shelter of the bow of the boat, several figures were playing cards around a dim light. One of them heard the sound of footsteps and looked up. When he found it was William, he lowered his head and focused his attention on the cards in his hand.

William frowned. The man who just looked up was short and strong, with a fat face and a mess of black curly hair. It was Felton, the newly appointed deputy captain on the ship.

The other people next to the lights were also close contacts with Felton, and only one was a young and childish crew member.

A group of old pirates on the ship have been traveling for many years, and are proficient in eating, drinking, gambling, and cheating. In addition to some sailors with sailing experience, many of the new pirates who do not understand the rules of life on the ship and have no experience in voyage. The young man with a little childishness in front of him was obviously slaughtered by Felton and others as a fat sheep.

Gambling, especially such deceptive gambling, will only deepen conflicts between people on board and increase management costs.

In the past, when Reth and Heiding were there, the former was the butler on the ship, and he could manage everything in every detail, while the latter had a bad temper and few people dared to gamble in front of them. At most, some would do it privately and would never be as blatant as they are now.

But after Barbarossa was not very careful, the order on the ship became a little confused. The current deputy captain Felton is definitely not the former Reis. Not only does he not have Reis's mind, he can't even set an example, but he also openly bets on the ship because of his identity.

However, Felton and his confidants didn't care about William. The young man who had just boarded the ship was no better than them. William was a sailor on the ship and was versatile. The most important thing was that he captured the famous "Red-Foot" Zep when he was in Kalmar City.

On the pirate ship, his strength is hard currency. Now William's status on the ship is second only to Captain Barbarossa. In addition to his age, the new crew members are not comparable to William in terms of strength and status.

The pirate newcomer named Nadal quickly put away the cards in his hand and stood up, which caused Felton and others to be attracted by William again.

William glanced at the few people and said lightly to the newcomer Nadal: "Go back to sleep."

"You can't leave!" Felton snarled at Nadal, then laughed strangely at William: "He still owes us money."

Nadal looked at William helplessly. William swept across Felton and others' faces one by one, raised his eyebrows, and said to Nadal: "Go back to sleep."

Felton frowned and had already rushed to William, but he was short and needed to look up at the tall William, so he seemed to have no momentum.

"Don't rely on your navigator, just meddling in other people's business, Stolt!" Felton said hatefully.

"Should I say you are smart or you are stupid, deputy captain?" William glanced at the old pirates who were gradually surrounding him, and looked at Felton with a condescending look. "The captain just wants you to check and balance my influence on the ship. You and I know both, but do you need to be so devoted? Can't you tell that you are still an actor of the Experience School?"

Some of Felton's hostility towards William's market may really come from his own feelings, but more of it may be done for Barbarossa and other crew members. He does not have the art of navigation like William, and he can become the deputy captain, and Barbarossa's purpose is also obvious.

Felton couldn't understand strange words like the Experimental School, but he could hear William's faint ridicule and could not help but act. It was just like William said, his hostility might have some performance elements and act like a show. How could he really attack William? It was just that several confidants around him were present, and he didn't want to show weakness.

William saw through his thoughts at a glance and took out his wallet from his arms: "Do you think he is a newcomer, and has never experienced robbery, and has not received any money to pay you? I will pay for him first."

Felton put his waist on his waist and said a number. Nadal wanted to speak but stopped. William knew that Felton had reported some more amount, but he still paid him the money.

After getting the money, the most important thing is to find face in front of your hands. Felton was in a good mood. He smiled proudly at William, then walked towards the cabin with a swaying wave. The old pirates who followed him also seemed very arrogant, as if they felt that William had surrendered. When the last person in the team passed by William, his shoulders hit William with a heavy shoulder.

William turned his body sideways and looked at the group leaving with a weird expression. Nadal stood there awkwardly and asked, "Brother Stolter, what's wrong?"

"I'm just wondering why idiots are always everywhere in this world?" William looked at the direction Felton left and said with emotion, then turned around and looked at Nadal.

Nadal rubbed his hands, not knowing whether William was talking about Felton and the others or himself.

"Your rookie, have you written your thoughts on your face and have the courage to gamble with others?" William said to Nadal. "That money I borrowed from you. I will pay it back to me if I have the spoils in the future. Get out and go to bed now."

Nadal responded gratefully and quickly left.

On the bridge kingdom, on the supply ship where Tchila Wolf was attacked, Colonel Roy held a cigar in his hand and used a sheathed scimitar to lift a intact flag of the "Chef Pirates" with his right hand, showing it to the officers standing around, and then laughed: "This is really interesting. In order not to leave witnesses, there was not even a living mouth on the ship, but he placed a intact pirate flag, as if he was afraid that we would not know who the attacker was."
