Chapter 40: Du Wei's First Ship

  There were sailors on the boat who also saw the three people on the raft. As the boat gradually approached, several sailors stood along the side of the boat, looking at Du Wei and his two companions with great interest.

  Two female magicians also saw that this ship was probably not a good one... It didn't look like a merchant ship, the hull was somewhat old and worn out, and there were even several ballistae placed on it. However, there was no imperial naval flag.

  "Hey! Look, there are a few little guys...... Oh, and two women! Hahaha......" A ghostly shout came from the ship, followed by a burst of laughter, and more pirates squeezed to the side of the boat to see Du Wei and the other three on the raft.

  Du Wei sighed and said loudly: "We encountered a sea disaster, can you help us?"

  The other person's laughter grew louder and obviously carried some ill intentions.

  Then a rope ladder was let down, Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Joana, who understood what Du Wei meant and climbed up first.

  Joanna was a high-spirited and bold person, her magical powers had not fully recovered, but she had also learned two or three spells, barely enough to reach the level of a low-level magician, and at the same time, she also possessed a set of exquisite martial skills!

  Such strength, although it's not enough when encountering a master, is more than sufficient to deal with dozens of small pirates.

  Joanna climbed up first, then Du Wei, and finally Vivian.

  The sailors on the side all gathered around, laughing and looking at these three young people, as if they were looking at a lamb delivered to their doorstep.

  "Oh! Look! Two pretty little girls!"

  "Yes! Look at the one on the left, what long legs! The captain must be very fond of her!"

  "Haha, I say little devils, you guys have really boarded a good ship!"

  These guys were disheveled, most of them barefoot, some wearing tattered overcoats, with dirty faces, yet they leered at Vivian and Joanna.

  Vivian was a little scared, her courage couldn't match her strength, and she couldn't help but lean towards Du Wei. Joanne's face looked very bad, and she already showed some signs of losing her temper.

  This violent ice and snow beauty, even the imperial local garrison dared to openly attack, let alone a small broken ship of pirates?

  "Quiet!"

  A hoarse voice came from inside, followed by the sound of boots scraping against the floor. A tall man emerged, wearing a slightly tattered Imperial Navy uniform with the shoulder badges and insignia torn off. The uniform was somewhat dirty, but his shoes were polished to a shine.

  He also wore a slender sword at his waist, as was the custom of Imperial Navy officers, with a captain's hat on his head, one hand on his hip and even holding a pocket watch in the other.

  This man appears to be the captain, although he is tall and large in stature, his face is quite ugly. Triangular eyes, garlic nose, plus a pair of small mustaches that are intentionally left out... Du Wei's mind immediately associated with a word: sleazy!

  "Quiet! Don't scare off my guests!" The captain laughed with some malice, then glanced at Du Wei and the others. When he saw Joanna and Vivian's eyebrows, a lewd glint flashed in his eyes, but when he saw Joanna's armor, he hesitated for a moment.

  The people on the boat suddenly understood: Such a young girl, how could her martial arts skills be so fierce? Hmph... She's probably some noble family's little brat!

  As for Du Wei, he was directly ignored by him.

  Du Wei's clothes had long since rotted away, he was barefoot, his shirt was tattered, his hair was disheveled, and there were even five or six large empty gourds tied to his body (which served as flotation devices). He looked almost like a savage.

  "Welcome aboard my ship... Let me introduce myself, I am the captain of this vessel, you may address me as Captain Morales or simply Captain. There was a hint of smugness in his tone: "I didn't think that on such a dull day, I would have the pleasure of meeting two such lovely ladies... Ah, my quarters are just aft, I'm sure you ladies will want to change into something more comfortable... and then, well... let's feast! Shall we?"

  It was clear that Du Wei and the other two hadn't eaten their fill for several days, and even the beautiful female mages couldn't help but reveal a few hints of pale complexion.

  The captain couldn't help but thank heaven.

  These past few days have been really unlucky!

  Firstly, a mobilization order was issued by the Imperial Navy's Eastern Fleet, and all naval vessels were deployed to patrol nearby waters. It is unclear what these naval vessels are doing!

  This made the pirates' lives difficult! Just two days ago, the captain's pirate ship encountered an Imperial Navy warship at sea. After a hasty battle, the captain immediately ordered a retreat, relying on his ship's light body and slightly faster speed to lead the Imperial Navy warship in a chase at sea for two whole days! One ran and one chased until this afternoon when they inexplicably sailed into a patch of fog, finally shaking off their pursuers.

  I've been exhausting myself these past few days!

  Who would have thought that heaven immediately sent over a few little fat sheep as a reward for myself...

  Look at these two little whores, their skin is so tender and smooth, a thousand times better than those prostitutes in the harbor! If they were stripped naked, washed clean, and pressed onto the bed, what a wonderful scene it would be!

  "Come on! Beautiful ladies." The captain relaxed a bit, he even reached out to pull Joana: "Beautiful ladies shouldn't suffer! I'll make you like my ship..."

  When the captain's hand landed on Joanna's shoulder, Du Wei had already let out a sigh, and then he couldn't help but close his eyes...

  A blood-curdling scream!

  Suddenly, a burst of light erupted from Joanna's body! That was the skill that only intermediate or higher martial artists could possess!

  Fighting spirit!!

  In the captain's wail of despair, he was already airborne, that beautiful hat also fell on the deck... As for him himself...

  See that parabola in the sky? Du Wei smiled and said calmly, but the captain had already fallen into the sea...

  Everyone was shocked for one second!

  Soon, these pirates reacted! Everyone picked up their weapons and shouted as they rushed over!

  Joanna just hummed... The anger she had been holding back for so many days finally had a place to vent!

  She had nothing in her hands, no weapon at all, just a casual grab, and she picked up the guy who rushed in front of her. A big man was swung around by her like a human flesh weapon!

  Then came one after another mournful cries, amidst the crackling and crashing sounds, there were still people falling into the sea.

  Du Weini silently counted from one to ten in her heart, and a third of the pirates in front of her fell down!

  "Alright! Joanne, stop it." Du Wei thought it was enough.

  Joanna still wouldn't stop, and with another kick, she sent the guy in front of her into the sea. There was no one around anymore... The pirates looked at Joanna as if they had seen a ghost, and retreated far away with shocked expressions.

  "I said, stop!" Du Wei frowned, he gently raised his hand to grab Joanna's shoulder, Joanna angrily said: "We're not on the island anymore, do you think you can still order me around?!"

  The woman suddenly reached out to grab Du Wei's wrist, and Du Wei did not resist, but looked into Joanne's eyes, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Look at me!"

  Joanna was shocked! She couldn't help but look into Du Wei's eyes...

  Is it... an illusion?

  Joanna thought this kid's eyes had never looked so good!

  Those eyes seemed to have turned black... a profound black that made one's heart tremble! It was as if his eyes were vast like the starry night sky, and just by looking at them... everything would be sucked in.

  Joanna only took a glance, and suddenly she felt her spirit relax, her hands also softened, she didn't even notice that her body seemed to be disobeying her commands! She just quietly stared into Du Wei's eyes...

  It's as if his very soul was being sucked in!

  "I said, stop." Du Wei's voice was slow, word by word, exceptionally clear! It was as if a hammer had struck deeply into Joanna's heart!

  "......Alright." Joanna involuntarily responded with a gentle and soft tone, completely devoid of her previous arrogant and domineering attitude.

  "Very well." Du Wei still gazed into Joanna's eyes, his voice suddenly becoming so melodious and pleasant to her ears that she couldn't help but want to follow his words and do anything...

  "Now, stand behind me and don't make a move without my word." Du Wei said in a low voice.

  Joanna's eyes hesitated for a moment, as if her stubborn heart was still struggling slightly, but she still succumbed to that strange feeling... That feeling was just too comfortable!

  Joanna quietly retreated and stood behind Du Wei... As soon as she escaped from Du Wei's gaze, Joanna suddenly felt a sense of relief! It was as if she had lost some kind of restraint, and everything around her became clear and transparent again. She also felt somewhat puzzled...

  What's wrong with me? Why should I listen to this guy?!

  She thought and thought, but somehow she felt annoyed with herself. She wanted to go up and question Du Wei, but her heart couldn't muster up any resistance. Instead, she felt that resisting Du Wei's orders would make her extremely uncomfortable... while standing behind him and listening to his words made her feel happy.

  This feeling is too strange.

  Joanna's face was strange, Du Wei didn't give her much time to think, and immediately smiled, saying: "Joanna, if you keep hitting... your skills are so fierce, maybe you can kick everyone on this boat into the sea... That's not a big deal, but this big boat can't be driven by just us three! We still need some sailors to help us navigate this ship!"

  It's strange... what can a sailor do... after a day, I can fly back by myself.

  Joanna thought so in her heart, but she nodded involuntarily: "Okay."

  Du Wei picked up the captain's hat that had fallen to the ground and put it on his own head... With this thing, he was no longer afraid of being seen by others.

  "Listen up! You filthy scum!" Du Wei bellowed, looking around at the cowering pirates.

  They were indeed afraid! Joanna's strength was too powerful, far beyond what they could resist.

  "You! Are a bunch of filthy trash! Parasites! You are a group of despicable guys!" Du Wei glared at them fiercely: "You rob, kill, plunder... You people, only deserve to be hanged on the gallows in the end! Now, you have all been captured by me! I'm not wrong! Now, this ship, and you, every one of you! Have all been captured by me!"

  Duvie kicked one of the men lying at his feet, a poor devil whose leg had been broken by Joana's kick. Duvie trampled over him without ceremony, accompanied by the man's cries of pain, and his voice fell clearly on the ears of these pirates:

  "As captives, your fate is in my hands! I can throw you all into the sea right now and let you fend for yourselves! Or I can find a port and hand you over to the local garrison to be hanged! But I am merciful! I can spare your lives! From today on, from this moment on, you are no longer filthy pirates! You are now my slaves, my servants! By imperial decree, as a noble, I have the right to dispose of my captives as I see fit! Now, I pardon your crimes and take you in as my slaves and servants! Do you understand?"

  A group of pirates: "......"

  "I'm asking again! This time whoever doesn't answer can go jump into the sea to accompany your captain!" Du Wei looked at everyone: "Did you hear that?"

  "Got it!!" Everyone replied in a rush.

  Du Wei nodded in satisfaction: "Now, clear the deck! Throw all these guys lying on the deck into the sea for me!"

  Without any hesitation, these pirates took action!

  These people are all holding human lives in their hands, and at this moment, for the sake of self-reporting, they immediately and without hesitation turned against their former companions!

  A man was thrown into the sea with a cry of despair. Du Wei gave his second order: "Throw down two lifeboats."

  There were already more than twenty pirates in the sea, splashing around in the waves. Seeing two small wooden boats being thrown down from above, they immediately swam over with all their might.

  "Listen! I should have killed you all! But I am merciful." Du Wei stood on the deck, looking down at the pirates who were struggling in the water like dumplings: "Now I'll let you go... these two ships are yours, and you won't drown... as for the rest, you're on your own!"

  A burst of mournful cries immediately followed, with angry curses and pitiful entreaties.

  In the vast ocean, there is no food, no fresh water, just these two small broken boats... it's simply a matter of life and death!

  "Of course, I can be even more merciful...” Du Wei raised his hand to point to the distance, he smiled slyly: “There, in that direction, there is a small island. If you all exert yourselves and row the boat, perhaps by tomorrow noon you will arrive there! Go, this is my last mercy!”

  After finishing, Du Wei ignored the wailing pirates below and turned to look at those stunned "servants". Du Wei smiled and said: "Food, and water... the faster the better! Did you understand what I said?"

  The servants immediately ran off to prepare, their faces flushed with excitement and their pants wet with urine.

  "Duvie... will you, madam, too..." Vivian's face showed some discomfort, stuttering as she spoke, looking at Duvie.

  "Too cruel? Too brutal?" Du Wei said calmly: "None of these guys are good people. True kindness doesn't need to be given to them! They're pirates! My poor little ViViAn, do you know what pirates are? They sail the seas, attacking merchant ships, killing sailors, stealing their goods, and even raping women on board! They're a swarm of locusts at sea, with countless murders and boundless evil! Not one person here hasn't been a murderer or killer, with bloodstained hands! Do you think I need to be kind to them?"

  "But..." Vivian still wanted to distinguish.

  Du Wei sighed, looked at this overly simple girl and said in a low voice: "Do you know... if they had encountered not us, but three ordinary people... then the two of you women would have been ravished by dozens of filthy pirates by now!!"

  This time, even Joanna glanced at her own sister and said coldly: "What he said is right."

  The food on the boat was not exquisite, but for Du Wei and others who had been eating wild vegetables for several days, it was almost enough to burst their stomachs!

  Smoked meat, dried fish, and some simple dried vegetables, and most unexpectedly, there was even a barrel of wheat wine.

  Even the two girls didn't care about their demeanor and image, and they ate together with Du Wei, gobbling down food fiercely!

  As for whether they would worry about those pirates poisoning them?

  What a joke! Du Wei has studied pharmacy for so many years, did he study it in vain?

  After having enough wine and food, Du Wei gathered all the sailors on the deck to speak.

  "Now I declare, this ship is joining my private fleet. You are also becoming a warship of my Duwei Lin Fleet! Do you understand? As a noble, according to the law, I can have a private army." Duwei thought for a moment: "Oh, right, and we need to find a new captain for you..."

  Du Wei glanced at the crowd below and casually pointed to a guy who looked the most refined and pleasing to the eye.

  "You! Come out! Tell me what your name is."

  That person hesitated for a moment, took a few steps forward, and looked at Du Wei with some tension: "I... I'm called..."

  "Wait a minute." Du Wei shook his head: "Forget it, since everything is going to become new, then the name should also be changed!"

  This little guy suddenly had an irrepressible thrill of mischief in his heart.

  "You, from today on, are the captain of this ship. Your name, from now on, is... Jack Sparrow! Got it? Captain Jack Sparrow! And as for this ship... from now on, it's renamed 'The Black Pearl'!"

  Looking at the stunned crowd below, Du Wei couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

  The Black Pearl, Captain Jack Sparrow, the infamous pirate of the Caribbean... Hahaha... This is where my private fleet begins.
