I really don't want to be the pirate king

Chapter 54: Desperate situation is coming!



The dark clouds were low and terrifying, there was lightning and thunder, strong winds, and huge raindrops falling. The terrifying scene was like the end of the world.

The waves undulated and the warship continued to rock. Aaron stood on the bow deck, holding the steering wheel with both hands, controlling the warship to sail to the right, but the warship was sucked in in the opposite direction.

What appeared in front of the warship was a huge whirlpool, like a big mouth, swallowing the warship.

"It was really bad luck. Not only did we encounter heavy rain, but there was also a large whirlpool."

Aaron was so anxious that they rescued the survivors and planned to go to a nearby city. Then they encountered a storm. Since the town was right in front, they walked a certain distance in the rain and planned to leave, but they found that they were going in the wrong direction, and there was an enemy ahead. Sea whirlpool.

The whirlpool was so big that no matter how he turned the steering wheel, he could not get the warship out of the whirlpool and was pulled through.

No, there's no way to escape.

Aaron plans to abandon the warship and let the people on board get into the bucket. Whether they can survive depends on luck.

But at this time, a strange voice sounded from behind, "Don't fight against the whirlpool, especially keep the battleship perpendicular to the direction of the current."

"Ok?"

Hearing the sound, Aaron turned around and saw a tall young man standing there, it was the man in the iron cage, his name seemed to be Lafitte.

Lafitte's body was still a little weak, and he was being supported by Charles. His face was a little pale, but he moved forward step by step.

Hearing Lafitte's words, Aaron frowned and said, "But otherwise, wouldn't the ship be sucked in?"

"The power of the ship is too small to resist the force of the whirlpool. It must stay parallel to the direction of the whirlpool water flow, and then try its best to move along the tangent direction of the whirlpool. Finally, concentrate its strength and rely on inertia to escape from the whirlpool."

Lafitte said quickly: "So first adjust the sails to use the wind to avoid being sucked in, and then try to escape when the time is right."

"Just do as he says."

Aaron made a quick decision and chose to listen to him, controlling the rudder himself and letting Robin and Neil adjust the sails.

Under the command of Lafitte, the warship approached the whirlpool. Aaron controlled the movement of the rudder board and the sails constantly adjusted their position. With the help of the power of the wind, they tried to keep moving forward with the current and along the tangent direction of the whirlpool.

The warship advanced a certain distance and reached the upper right position of the whirlpool. It was unable to escape and was sucked into the whirlpool.

At this time, Lafitte immediately ordered to adjust the rudder and sails to allow the ship to fight against the current and escape from the vortex with the help of inertia.

The warship continued to move forward and left this area. It didn't take long to break out of the rain area. The waves calmed down and the sun appeared.

"saved."

Neil took off his shirt, revealing his muscular body, and while squeezing the water out of his clothes, he said, "I thought I couldn't escape."

"It was really scary just now."

Robin fixed the cable and stepped onto the bow deck with his two long brown legs protruding from his hot pants.

"It's his fault."

Aaron looked at Lafitte. He was slumped on the deck, holding on to the handrails of the ship's side. His face was a little pale. Rushing to the bow of the bumpy ship had already consumed too much of his energy.

"Send him back to the infirmary to lie down first."

Aaron picked up the other person and sent him to the infirmary. After letting him lie on the hospital bed, he looked at him and said, "Thank you very much. Without you, we would all have died here."

"It's me who should thank you."

Lafitte said softly: "If you hadn't rescued me, I don't know how long I would have stayed in the cage."

"Actually, if you don't send us to a nearby city, we won't encounter a whirlpool."

Charles followed into the infirmary and said apologetically: "I almost got you all in trouble."

"Everyone helps each other."

Aaron changed the topic and asked: "Mr. Lafitte, you know the sea conditions and weather very well. Are you a navigator?"

"I learned navigation since I was a child. My parents were killed by pirates, so I learned swordsmanship and became a security officer. I want to protect more people."

Lafitte's eyes looked upward, his face a bit painful, "But in the end I can't protect anyone."

"Security officer?"

Aaron raised his eyebrows, this is the West Sea, he is a navigator, and his name is Lafitte.

This reminded him of a person, the navigator of the Blackbeard Pirates.

His name is also Lafitte, and he is also the security officer of Xihai, and his height matches.

"Mr. Lafitte."

Aaron couldn't help but ask: "How old are you this year?"

"25 is old."

Lafitte replied and asked in confusion: "Why do you ask this?"

25 years old ...

Lafitte of the Blackbeard Pirates is around 40 years old (39-41), but that was 14 years later.

Isn't he about 25 years old now?Could it really be him?

"It's okay, I'm just curious about your age."

Aaron said: "You can lie here peacefully, we will go to the nearest city, and then you can go home."

"go home?"

Lafitte smiled self-deprecatingly, with a somewhat painful look on his face, "How can I still have a home?"

His parents were killed by pirates, he learned swordsmanship and became a security officer, and met a beautiful woman. The two fell in love with each other and signed a marriage contract. This time they took a cargo ship to Phuket for their honeymoon.

But he encountered pirates on the way. Originally, he had no intention of taking action, but his wife and other women were robbed and taken to the cargo ship.

So he and the guards on the ship resisted, but were defeated and knocked to the ground, and were caught on the ship.

Because he injured the pirates, he was put in a cage and put into the sea many times to be tortured with water. The pirates also tortured his wife in front of him.

His wife couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by biting her tongue, but her body was still played with for a day before being thrown into the sea.

And Lafitte watched all this with his own eyes.

He wished he could catch them all and torture them in the most brutal way, making them worse than death.

Not only these pirates, but other pirates and thugs must also be treated cruelly, making them regret living...

However, it seems that these people are also pirates, but they saved me, so I may be a bit extreme in thinking this way!

The cruelty in Lafitte's heart weakened slightly, and then he was enveloped in grief.

"No home?"

Robin heard this and said softly: "Just like me before, I suffered a massacre. My mother was killed in front of my eyes. Even my teacher and my only friend couldn't survive."

"is it?"

Lafitte looked at her and said pitifully: "It seems you also have a miserable past."

"But I met brother Aaron."

Robin hugged Aaron's arm, raised his hand and patted Neil's shoulder, saying, "And this inconspicuous Neil, they are all my family."

"That's good."

Lafitte said enviously: "You must be very happy to have your family by your side."

"I am indeed very happy now, so Lafitte..."

Robin looked at him, smiled and asked, "Would you like to stay on the ship and be part of our family?"
