Tonk watched the one-eyed man's actions with great interest and had no intention of helping Emmond at all.

"No, don't kill me please, I have two daughters to support at home," Emmond said anxiously. His head was pressed tightly on the table by the muzzle of the gun, which made him sweat through cold sweat.

The one-eyed man snorted and said sternly, "Behave your mouth in the future, some talkative words will make you die without a burial."

He raised the muzzle of the gun and walked away without looking back, while Emmond was still lying on the table panting heavily, not daring to move.

Tonk was very interested in the one-eyed man, so he cast an investigation technique on him.

Name:

One-Eyed his real name has been forgotten, everyone calls him by this nickname
Occupation: Musketeer Tier 2
Accuracy:

Tonk raised his eyebrows, this one-eyed man was actually not weak. He lacked crew members on the ship now, so he kind of wanted to recruit this man.

As soon as One-Eyed left, the tavern immediately resumed its hustle and bustle. People were talking about Emmond, and some even laughed at him for being timid. The boss was so angry and he was scolding, he hated others making trouble in the tavern.

Tonk took out a few silver coins and threw them on the table, and said, "This is a commission for hiring sailors. You get ready for that first, and I'll go first."

Emmond drank his wine tremblingly, not even moving his favorite silver coin. It didn't know if he could hear what Tonk said.

Tonk followed One-eyed with big strides, the hem of the black trench coat fluttering in the wind. Many passersby were attracted by the big sword he was carrying and took a closer look.

One-eyed noticed something and glanced at Tonk. His face tightened, and he quickened his pace.

The two walked one after the other for more than ten minutes, crossing three streets. One-eyed turned into a deep and quiet alley, there were old newspapers and broken bamboo baskets on the ground, and Tonk followed.

One-eyed turned around and looked at the people who followed him. He felt that Tonk was not a good person when looked at him, but he was relieved. He was more afraid of meeting good people like bounty hunters or the navy than bad people.

Tonk said hello naturally.

"Under the cliffs at the ends of the earth, my glorious grave is buried. I am unworthy of the girl's thoughts of me. I hope she will forget me next night." One-eye said such a paragraph lets people not know so. Tonk was confused and thought there was a problem with the One-eyed nerve.

In fact, this passage is excerpted from the "Code of Pirates", similar to jargon. To put it bluntly, it is slang. Those who can understand must be more experienced pirates. One-eyed said this to test Tonk to see if he was a companion.

"Yo, you're still a poet," Tonk said, he didn't understand a word just now.

"You're not a fellow." One-eyed shook his head, pulled out the pistol at his waist, and held the wooden handle.

At the moment when One-eyed drew his gun, Tonk also drew his big sword. The muzzle of the gun was facing the tip of the sword, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The One-eyed left eye was wearing a black blindfold. The pupil of the right eye was shrunk, forming a line with the gun's muzzle. He did not act rashly, because the opponent was not a minion who could beat casually.

"We're not enemies for the time being, but it's hard to say if you dare to pull the trigger," Tonk also lowered his face.

"Who are you and why are you following me?" One-eyed slowly lowered the hand holding the gun.

"It's awkward for a man to follow another man. Why don't you be a female gunslinger?"

One-eyed raised the pistol again.

"Okay, I'm actually a pirate captain. Seeing that you're very good at playing with guns, I want to ask you to be my subordinate." Tonk also stopped beating around the bush.

One-eyed took a deep look at Tonk and felt that the other party didn't seem to be lying. He restrained his hostility and said, "I'm not interested, don't talk about it." After that, the man turned around and left.

"I will give you a high salary."

"I already have a captain, and I won't betray him. It doesn't matter how much you pay." One-eyed said indifferently, "Don't follow me, just pretend you haven't seen me."

Tonk felt that he was looked down upon by the other party, so he scolded angrily, "Fuck, it's your honor. What are you arrogating?"

One-eyed paused, he had been a pirate for almost ten years. He also had a temper. He turned his head and said fiercely: "I said just now that some talkative words will make you die without a place to die. "

"Just your shotgun doesn't seem to be enough to kill me." Tonk said, scratching his chin again, "If you're carrying an AK47, that's another story."

"Bang!"

A thick plume of smoke floated from the pistol, and a whistling round lead bullet flew out and wiped past Tonk's head. Tonk was not yet close to the point where he could dodge bullets, but he could judge the opponent's shooting movements by observing the opponent's shoulders and fingers, so it will be easier to dodge.

Tonk had been accumulating energy since he drew his sword just now. He immediately slashes out a sword energy, opening a three or four-meter-long hole in the ground. One-eyed jumped back to dodge, raised his hand, and fired another shot.

It takes more than 20 seconds for the flintlock gun to reload bullets. This firing interval is a great disadvantage. However, One-eyed has two guns in his hand, and the package he is carrying also contains various types of long and short muskets all have been loaded. Another gun can be fired continuously after one shot is fired.

Tonk was dodging lead bullets one after another. Those who couldn't dodge had to block them down with the sword. There were several scars on the sword. One-eyed's shooting speed was very fast. He can shoot directly after grabbing a gun, and each shot was aimed at Tonk's body.

One-eyed did not deliberately try to increase the distance but focused more on speeding up the shooting speed as much as possible. Tonk hid very dangerously, but he knew that it will be his show time once One-eyed shoots out the bullets.

Tonk bowed and stabbed the big sword heavily on the ground. The wide sword body blocked the two bullets. After two explosions, there were two more protrusions on the sword's body. The bullet was embedded in it, almost penetrating.

He abruptly stood up, the icy sword energy was aroused wantonly with a swing of his sword. A diagonal slash from top to bottom fell, and some waste on the ground was swept away.

The long-barreled musket in One-eyed's hand was cut off!

One-eyed face twitched. He felt that the enemy was evenly matched with him, so he had to use his trump card. He grabbed the left eye patch and was about to take it off.

At this time, a group of more than 20 people walked across the street. They were dressed in the uniform of the Greenland Empire Navy. A sense of discipline.

The two In the alley stopped at the same time, leaning against the wall, pretending to be chatting. Clearly, neither of them was willing to alarm the Navy.

After the navy team left, the two of them calmed down a bit, pondered for a while, and stopped acting rashly. The one-eyed blindfold was not taken off due to the interruption of the navy just now.

"I think to stop fighting, I don't want to kill you," Tonk said and break the deadlock.

"Hmph, how daring!" One-eyed was almost so angry that he drew his gun again, but he found that there were only two guns still loaded with bullets in his hand, so he didn't dare to move.

"Want to go have a drink?"

"We don't seem to be familiar enough to drink." One-eyed said with a bad expression.

"Don't be so sullen, isn't it just a fight? There are many people who became brothers after a fight with me. It's called no fight, no acquaintance."

Tonk liked to make friends, so he invited One-eyed to drink. One-eyed thought it seemed stingy if he rejected it again, so he reluctantly agreed. He packed his gun into the package.

The two found another pub, and after they went in, they each asked for the wine they liked. The conflict just now quickly dissipated after sat and chatted with each other.

One-eyed obviously had something on his mind, he couldn't let go at all. He just drank there with his head down. If Tonk talked about some innocuous topic, One-eye would just prevaricate with "um" and "ah".

Tonk had to pick up the key points and ask, "Which ship are you on as a pirate?"

One-eyed look dimmed, and he replied in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, I'm from the Purgatory Pirates." He bluntly told the truth, and it was too late when he realized the slip of the tongue.

"Um...why does it sound familiar?" Tonk was stunned for a moment. His eyes widened after thinking about it, "Is your captain the one who will be executed in a few days?"

One-eyed nodded gloomily, his face as though it was windy on a cloudy day.

"No wonder you were so angry when you heard what that man said." Tonk nodded, "Since your captain is dying, why don't you find another job? I think you're good at it, come and do it on my ship. Hang out with me, I guarantee that you will live it up in the future."

"I won't let him die."

"What's the meaning?"

"I want to rescue my captain," One-eyed said firmly with eyes narrowed, and he started drinking alone.

It looked like One-eye was going to rob a prison!

Ding! You inspired the rescue mission. The mission goal is to rescue the leader of the Purgatory Pirates. You will receive 1,500 reward points if you succeed.

Tonk almost sprayed out the rum. This task came too abruptly. The reward points were less than the annihilation of the Black Toad Pirates, so it seemed that this task was less difficult. He hesitated whether or not to swim in the muddy water, but after a little thought, he soon made a decision.

"Do you need manpower?"

"What's the meaning?"

"I will help you to raid prison and save your captain."

One-eyed couldn't believe it at first, so he said, "Aren't you joking?"

Tonk glanced at the other party with contempt, and said, "Can this kind of thing be a joke? Come on, tell me the details, and I will help you plan how to rob the prison. I have experience in doing this."
