Tonk had always been generous. When he had money, he invited friends to eat well. When he had no money... he could invite friends to dine and dash.

He took the woman to the restaurant, intending to ask some questions. He was used to talking about business at the wine table. He said he wanted to sell women to brothels, but he was just talking about it.

The people sitting around were either merchants or nobles, and all of them were well-dressed. On the stage, there were also bards from the elf tribe playing, and they were very engaged.

In this kind of environment, the people at the table of Tonk seemed a bit awkward. Especially this woman wore a round hat with feathers on her head. Her face was painted with red and white patterns, and she was wearing animal skin clothes. Under the short skirt was a pair of pretty legs, and the shoes were made of plants.

The woman was dressed in a typical indigenous style.

"Eat. Let's have a good chat about you after taking food." Tonk didn't pay attention to those dining etiquettes. He ate a steaming steak and pushed a plate toward the woman, which contained a stewed fish.

The woman was actually very hungry, but she had no appetite at all and asked eagerly, "Could you help me?"

Tonk waved his hand and ate to his heart's content. The woman looked so bitter and sad, but she had to eat it too. When she tasted the deliciousness of the food, the hunger in her stomach was aroused. She ate much faster, causing the surrounding nobles to look at them.

There was a large stack of dinner plates on the table. Tonk crossed his legs and picked his teeth. A voice came out between his teeth, "Tell me something."

The woman finally waited for this sentence and said intermittently about her and Nahum.

Her name was Flora, and she was the second daughter of the head of Starfish Island. The island's naming style was very simple. Women were named after flowers and seashells, while men were named after tuna and the sun. As could be seen from the name, the folk customs there were very simple and backward.

Three months ago, an epidemic broke out among the residents of Starfish Island. The patients would develop dark spots all over their bodies, and they would die in agony after a short period of time. This kind of disease had a long history. It also wreaked havoc once a hundred years ago. The number of deceased was as high as one million. It was called the black devil. Fortunately, an elf alchemist who understood various pharmacological properties had invented special medicines. This disaster was stopped.

Nahum's pharmaceutical factory mastered the method of mass-producing this drug. He monopolized the circulation of this drug with his power, so the people of Starfish Island could only buy the drug from him. Nahum drove up the price of medicines so high that the residents of Starfish Island could not afford them at all, so they could only exchange valuables such as pearls and crystal fish horns.

In order to beg Nahum to lower the price of medicine, Flora's sister drove a boat all the way here, but she was deceived by Nahum. Nahum took a fancy to Flora's sister and tricked her into exchanging her body for drugs. But afterward, Nahum broke the agreement and sold Flora's sister to the Black Triangle.

Seeing that her sister had not returned for a long time, Flora repeated her sister's mistakes. She also ventured to Port Carlin to seek help from Nahum, hoping to reduce the price of medicine. In addition, she also wanted to find her sister.

She had heard from many sources that Nahum's merchant ship was about to go out to sea, and would pass through Starfish Island on the way exchanging low-cost drugs for high returns.

After the narration, Flora looked at Tonk eagerly, looking forward to getting help.

Ding! You inspired a crusade mission. The mission objective is to loot Nahum's caravan, and the mission reward is 2000 reward points.

Now that Tonk was no longer surprised when he heard the system prompt. In fact, he was already tempted. Even if there was no quest reward, he decided to clean up Nahum's caravan.

Tonk turned to One-eyed and asked, "How much do you think this deal can make?"

Nahum once threw Cam eggs. One-eyed had always hated in his heart, and he wanted to kill Nahum more than Tonk to vent his anger. One-eyed licked his lips like a beast, and said, "Medicine is very profitable, and I have a way to find a way to sell it. After doing this, we can buy another ship. In that case, our strength will be much stronger. Nahum is not easy to rob, he has several large armed ships under his hand."

Buying a ship and arming it was extremely expensive. A robbing act could get such a reward was already considerable.

"Is there a merchant ship easy to grab in the world?" Tonk didn't care. Due to the rampant sea monsters, even merchant ships had to be equipped with firepower. Many pirates would die at the hands of merchant ships. Merchant ships were not lambs to be slaughtered.

The meal was finished and the matter was finally finalized. Tonk said goodbye to Flora, paid for the meal, and got up to leave.

Flora hurriedly caught up with Tonk and asked, "Can you help me?"

Tonk didn't look back, walked forward without saying a word, and answered Flora with silence. One-eyed didn't feel anything wrong and continued to play the role of carrying the bag.

Flora stumbled and chased after her. Tonk and One-eyed deliberately wanted to get rid of her, so they walked quickly. She couldn't catch up no matter how hard she tried, so she burst into tears.

The cry was mournful, and Tonk was distraught when he heard it. He frowned and said, "One-eyed, if the medicine to save these islanders is removed and the remainder is sold, can we still buy a boat?"

"Captain, you are a pirate." One-eyed reminded.

It was not pirates who rob the rich to help the poor, but the prince of thieves. One-eyed didn't care if Tonk was bad and ruthless, but if Tonk was a suck good person, he would be depressed.

"If she keeps chasing us to the port, I will help her," Tonk said lightly.

One-eyed's face became a little strange.

The two of them were still walking fast, Flora gritted her teeth and chased after them. Not only did the distance not get closer, but they gradually drifted away. Flora tripped over a raised floor tile. Because she had no strength, she couldn't get up from lying on the ground, and she was so anxious that she cried.

Tonk looked back and found that Flora had disappeared. He shook his head inadvertently. The two saw that they had thrown off the tail, and their pace returned to normal. They began to talk about how to rob Nahum.

One-eyed was an old pirate. He proposed a trap-style robbery plan. Although this was a common method of pirates, it was still useful. After listening to the plan, Tonk felt that this move was quite insidious. It was very suitable for him.

They walked to a relatively quiet small street. Tonk felt a little strange when he heard the limping footsteps.

"Please, help me! I know you two must have a way."

It turned out to be Flora's unrelenting voice.

Tonk turned around to look and found Flora limping chasing after him.

One of her ankles was swollen and she had tears on her face. She was very weak and liked to cry at every turn, but in order to save the lives of her clan, she would not give up. In her eyes, these two were the last ray of hope.

Tonk glanced at Flora approvingly, and he was moved by the opponent's tenacity.

"Why are you pestering us?" Tonk asked with a smile.

"I feel you can help me," Flora said.

"It seems that women's sixth sense is sometimes not very good. Are you not afraid that I will sell you?"

"Just sell it, I have nowhere to go anyway."

"If you're not afraid. Then come on."

Tonk went to hold Flora to prevent her from shaking when she walked.

"You... are you willing to help me?" Flora asked excitedly. She grabbed Tonk's sleeve.

"I want to sell you."

Tonk didn't tell the truth, making Flora have ups and downs and feel like he was on a pirate ship. In fact, a woman's sixth sense was still very accurate, and soon Flora really boarded Tonk's pirate ship.

Even if Tonk supported Flora, she couldn't walk fast. So he simply carried Flora on his back and held the big sword in his hand. He felt that Flora was not heavy, but it was light and fluttering. Her chest was like a small flower bud, clinging to his back, and the touch was not very strong.

They soon came to the port and found the Black Pearl. To his surprise, the sailors were divided into two groups. One group was discussing in full force, and the other group actually cried and cried. It became a double world of ice and fire. Strange situation.

After the sailors saw Tonk, they gathered around one after another and talked at a loss.

Tonk put down the flower dew, grabbed a loyal old sailor, and asked what was going on. The other party gave Tonk a newspaper and pointed to a report in the corner.

This was a marine newspaper, a newspaper issued by the Greenland Empire. It was full of news about navigation, including the dynamics of the navy, pirates, and businessmen. This newspaper had witnessed one major event at sea after another.

Following the sailor's guidance, Tonk saw the report.

"The Black Toad Pirates' angry declaration. The mysterious new pirates of the East!"
