Pirates from island owner to king

It turned out that he was thinking too much.

Although this era is the era of great pirates, countless people rush to the sea to become pirates, but the sea is vast, and pirates generally don't get together.

Not long after, the pirate ship of the Melon Pirates was cleaned up, and the corpses of the pirates without bounties were thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

There is a bounty, no matter how much it is, Wang Hai does not dislike it, and asks people to deal with it and put it away.

Even if he doesn't necessarily have the time to go to the navy to exchange the bounty, it's not troublesome to deal with it.

It can be left to the intelligence channel left by the Wang family in Xihai to deal with it.

Inhabited islands can also be found and sold to local middlemen.

It's no secret.

Wang Hai heard from Zhou Yu that as long as it is profitable, there will be a corresponding market.

Not every pirate hunter has the time to take the pirate's head and go to the navy to exchange for the bounty.

Therefore, the profession of middleman appeared.

Almost every island where there are people, not only recycle the heads of pirates, earn the difference, but also specialize in the business of bounty hunters.

Buy and sell information, equipment, and various services.

It can be said that a complete industrial chain has been formed around bounty hunters and pirates.

Sometimes, even if the pirates hold the heads of their peers, they still do the pirate business, and they never refuse.

This world is darker and more complex than imagined.

The forces behind these middlemen are intricate, some are local dignitaries, some are even local navy, and some are gangsters.

In short, Wang Hai is not worried, the heads of these pirates cannot be realized.

Including this pirate ship.

These harvests alone are enough to offset most of the money he needs to spend this time.

"The island owner has been asked."

A piece of good news followed.

The subordinates came to report, the bones of the little cantaloupe were a bit soft, and they had already told everything they knew without much interrogation.

What Wang Hai is interested in is mainly their treasures.

As he expected, the Melon Pirates robbed many merchant ships and obtained a lot of property.

Not on the pirate ship, but in another place.

What surprised him was that Brother Xianggua had another identity, which was actually a wealthy businessman from a nearby island.

The status of merchants provides convenience for them to deal with the looted property.

but.

This island is not the same island as they planned to go to, and it is not in the same direction.

Fortunately, the melon brothers often go out to plunder as pirates, and it is common for them not to go back for ten days and a half months.

Therefore, Wang Hai is not in a hurry to receive this property.

Right now, the most important thing is the transaction of medical supplies.

After half a day.

No more pirates, Wang Hai and others came to an island called Heishi Island.

This is the closest island to Crab Island.

Crab Island was previously occupied by pirates, but now it is occupied by the Capone family, and it has not had time to deal with it.

The materials Wang Hai needs are on Crab Island.

The distance between the two islands is less than ten nautical miles.

Heishi Island is not big, only a small town with about a thousand people.

It was more than a hundred nautical miles away from the nearest naval branch, and coupled with the barren land, the residents on the island mostly relied on growing fruits and fishing for a living, barely making ends meet.

Even pirates are not willing to patronize such an island with no oil and water.

After all, every voyage to sea requires a lot of supplies.

This, on the contrary, allowed the residents of Heishi Island to barely live in this troubled world without being harmed by pirates.

Compared with Crab Island, which was occupied by pirates and plagued by scourges, it was undoubtedly much luckier.

After landing on the island, Wang Hai noticed that many of the residents on the island had already hid. Only some relatively strong men gathered together with weapons, watching them outsiders warily.

Wang Hai and others showed that they were not pirates, and still did not let them relax their vigilance.

but.

Wang Hai and the others only stopped here and did not plan to do anything on the island.

The people on the island, of course, would not take the initiative to come and make trouble.

After a while.

Wang Hai saw the target of this transaction.

I used the identification function of the golden finger to take a look. This is just a thief with a fair talent.

Suddenly, I lost interest in further contact.

According to the agreement, the specific details of the transaction were negotiated and some deposits were paid.

In the end, it was agreed that the deal would be conducted at night, and the person's companion was lurking on Crab Island.

In the evening, the medical supplies will be transported to the seaside, and the two parties will take advantage of the darkness to complete the transaction.

After the agreement was made, Wang Hai saw that it was still early, so he came to Heishi Town.

Although this year, he will not consider recruiting people to Taoyuan Island for the time being, but with the function of golden finger identification, he also wants to take advantage of going out to see if he can find some talents.

He took out some of the food obtained by the Melon Pirates and gave it to the locals, expressing that he had no malice.

"Well, we believe that a handsome man like you should not be a bad person."

Finally, the respected mayor's old lady spoke.

Wang Hai was a little helpless, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still relied on one face.

He chatted with the old woman, who looked at him like a grandson-in-law.

After chatting for a while, Wang Hai learned more about Heishi Town.

He could also see that the old woman was still shrewd, and she didn't reveal the details of Heishi Town to him, but instead kept complaining and gaining sympathy, hoping to get more help from him.

Someone called a group of poor-looking children who couldn't even get enough to eat, and asked them to look at him expectantly.

Wang Hai also took the opportunity to use the golden finger to identify.

Compared with adults, children are also more malleable. If the talents are the same, he is more willing to choose children to cultivate from an early age.

Among these children, he didn't find any geniuses, only a few children who were somewhat talented.

He didn't just stare at these children, but also identified everyone he met.

Including the mayor's old lady.

In addition to being highly respected, this old lady also possesses intermediate talents in internal affairs and physical arts.

Moreover, he has mastered an intermediate physical skill.

However, at the age of more than sixty, his physical strength has declined seriously, and his current force value is only worth [-] points.

The real combat power may be even less.

In addition, some talents with living skills such as planting, fishing, carpentry, and blacksmithing were also found.

Although the talents are not outstanding, they are also considered to have a skill.

After wandering around the town and appraising hundreds of people, Wang Hai knew that although there were still many people he hadn't seen, he didn't press on.

He didn't say anything to solicit, because Heishi Town had already experienced hardships. If he poached these only talents, it would be difficult for other people in Heishi Town to survive.

"That's it, it's getting late, and I should go back."

After looking at the sky, Wang Hai planned to bid farewell and return to the boat.

He was a little soft-hearted about the mayor's old lady crying for poverty, and asked people to send over most of the supplies that the Melon Pirates had looted on the ship.

"You are a good boy just like my son. When you go out, you must protect yourself. The female pirate will probably try her best to snatch you away when she sees your face..."

Reluctantly, the mayor's old lady took his hand and chattered.
