LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 250: He Can’T
Haibo said: "As long as you can figure it out."
He said earnestly: "Sister, don't blame my brother for not caring about your innocence, I am doing it for your own good."
"My parents are dead, and all that is left to us is this dilapidated old ship. I am a man and can guard the ship for the rest of my life, but you are my sister, and I cannot let you drift on the ship for the rest of your life."
"We have no money, and there are so many sailors to support us, so we can't afford much dowry. Although you are beautiful, you can only marry a poor person in the end, and then live in poverty for the rest of your life."
"But this is an opportunity. Serve this gentleman well, and at worst you can get a lot of money. With money, you will have a generous dowry, marry a good family, and live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly became melancholy.
"My brother is working for a living at sea, and he might die at some point. The only one who is worried is you."
Sea Coconut's eyes were red.
"Brother, you are so good to me."
"Yes, but I am inexperienced and don't know how to speak to that adult."
Haibo said: "Don't worry, sister, I will arrange everything."
…
This passenger ship is very simple, it can be seen that it is very old, and its displacement is very small.
Far inferior to the ship Naruto and the others took when they headed to Cloud Shinobi Village.
Mizuki doesn't mind either.
It was calm all the way, not even a strong wind.
Mizuki had dinner on the deck. Mizuki moved the tables and chairs to the deck and arranged them safely.
Chef Umiko brought the prepared dishes to the table, including salmon sashimi, charcoal grilled lobster tail, boiled conch, steamed sea crab, various sushi, vegetable salad...
The table was almost full, and a few sailors looked over not far away, swallowing their saliva as they watched.
They have little interest in seafood. After all, they can eat all kinds of fish, shrimps, snails and crabs at sea all year round until they vomit.
In their eyes, there is only vegetable salad.
It was rare for them to eat these foods that were only available on land.
Every time the boat docked, I could eat more, but my belly was so big that I couldn't eat well at all.
Once out to sea, vegetables become a luxury item again.
Mizuki was eating by himself, enjoying the sea breeze and admiring the scenery on the sea.
Sea Coconut brought up another plate of fruit, including watermelon, grapes, bananas, etc., and a coconut with a straw in its mouth.
"Mizuki-sama, do these dishes suit your taste?" Umikoko asked anxiously.
Mizuki nodded: "Yes, these are all original and I like them very much. Especially the salmon, it's so fresh."
After hearing this, Sea Coconut smiled and said: "This is caught freshly and processed as soon as it is caught, so it is the freshest."
"You can't eat salmon sashimi this fresh on land."
"Other ingredients are also fresh. If you like it, you can enjoy it."
Mizuki really enjoyed it.
The Land of Birds is inland and there is no seafood at all.
The neighboring Country of Rain does have a sea, but it is fresh water, and its area is not as large as a real ocean. It is more accurate to call it a lake.
Therefore, the fish, shrimps and crabs in the Land of Rain are all freshwater products and are not considered real seafood.
Mizuki had a full meal and asked Haibo to move a lounge chair. He lay down and looked up at the stars.
The starry sky here is completely different from the one on Earth in the previous life.
Mizuki sighed in his heart, not knowing whether he would ever be able to return to Earth in his lifetime.
After thinking about it, he sighed and couldn't help but chant in words that the people on the boat couldn't understand: "The moon is sparse and the stars are sparse. The black magpie flies south and circles the tree three times. What branch can I rely on?"
He took out a wine bottle from the storage ring and drank heavily.
The night is getting deeper and the waves are coming.
"Sir, the wind is strong on the sea at night. It is easy to get sick if you stay on the deck for a long time. It is better to go back to your room to rest early."
"Your room has been cleaned. Sea Coconut has done it very carefully. She has also prepared hot water for you. If you need it, she can help you wash up."
"Even if you have other needs, sir, that's okay."
"Don't worry, sir. My sister has never been touched by a man and is absolutely clean."
This is very straightforward.
Although Mizuki drank, he was not drunk.
Although he is not an ascetic, he is not attractive to all kinds of women.
It’s just a boat ride, there’s no need.
"No, I'm not interested."
After speaking, he took out a wad of money and said, "Take this money and don't disturb me."
Haibo was disappointed, but still took the money, but the way he looked at Mizuki became strange.
Mizuki asked speechlessly: "What are you looking at?"
This look is too much!
"Is there anything else? Just go and don't disturb me."
Mizuki and the people on the boat had nothing in common, and it didn't seem like they had anything in common.
Haibo said hurriedly: "No, I didn't see anything. I'll leave now."
After saying that, he turned around and left, but after walking a few steps, he sighed and kept shaking his head.
Mizuki didn't pay attention.
Haibo walked into the cabin, and Haiyeye immediately asked: "Brother, how are you doing?"
Haibo shook his head and said, "Girl, it's better to give up. This gentleman is not interested in women."
Sea Coconut looked disappointed.
She sighed with emotion: "Such a handsome man actually likes men, hey!"
On the deck, Mizuki's mouth twitched.
Hai Bo said: "In my opinion, no, there are so many men on the boat, but I don't see anyone paying a second glance to them."
"I guess he's not good at that."
"Sister, I'm warning you, you must not get involved with such a man, no matter how much money you have, you will not be happy."
Sea Coconut seemed to understand: "Oh!"
On the deck, Mizuki spit out a mouthful of wine.
"Depend on!"
"I just said I'm not interested and I'm not good at that?"
"What the hell kind of logic is this!"
Mizuki wanted to prove himself right away, but after thinking about it, he decided not to care about what they thought of strangers he met by chance.
He continued to drink and gradually became a little drunk.
Before he knew it, he fell asleep on the recliner, purring.
It seems that I haven't had such a peaceful sleep in a long time.
Umiko heard the noise and found Mizuki asleep, so he took a quilt and covered Mizuki.
"Hey, what a good man, so good-looking and rich..."
"such a pity!"
But at this moment, she suddenly noticed something strange on the sea.
Looking carefully, I saw several black figures approaching on the sea in the distance.
Sea Coconut's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted: "The pirates are coming, the pirates are coming!"
With this shout, everyone who was sleeping on the boat woke up, and the faces of those who were not sleeping changed drastically.
There was immediate confusion on the ship.
Hai Bo, as the captain, immediately took command.
"Don't panic, everyone!"
"The right rudder is full, and there is a reef I am familiar with thirty miles ahead on the right. Only when we get there can we escape the pirate attack."
The pirate's ship is too fast, and it is unrealistic to rely on speed to escape.
But Haibo had been making a living at sea with his parents since he was a child. He was very familiar with the nearby waters and immediately thought of a solution.
The ship sailed quickly towards the reef, followed by pirate ships behind it. There were three ships in total, larger in size and with deeper draft.
Hai Bo estimated the speed and distance of both sides, and was determined.
"Don't worry, everyone, we are fine, the other side can't stop us."
The sailors were relieved after hearing this, and the tense atmosphere relaxed a little.
Mizuki, on the other hand, was still asleep on the deck, still snoring.
The sound of waves hitting rocks ahead sounded, and a smile appeared on Hai Bo's face, as the rocks arrived.
He is very familiar with this place and knows the only safe waterway through the reef zone. Passing through the waterway, he can escape from the pirate ship.
Because the pirate ship is larger and cannot pass through that narrow waterway.
But at this moment, several boats came out from behind a rock, blocking the way of Haibo's boat.
Haibo's expression changed drastically.
"Turn, turn left quickly, the road ahead is blocked."
But it was too late.
Soon, the Haibo ship was forced to stop by two pirate ships, and the three pirate ships behind also followed up, surrounding the Haibo ship.
At this time, Mizuki is still sleeping!
Hai Bo told Umi Coco: "Go and wake up Mizuki-sama quickly and take him to hide in the utility room on the bottom floor. Don't make any sound."
"I can see clearly that the other party is the Straw Hat Pirates. They usually only steal property and don't kill people."
Umikoko immediately went to call Mizuki.
In a daze, Mizuki was woken up.
Although he was surrounded by pirates, these pirates posed no threat at all, so they could not arouse Mizuki's subconscious alert.
"What's wrong?"
Umi Coco said anxiously: "Sir, please hide with me. We are surrounded by the Straw Hat Pirates."
"Straw Hat Pirates?" Mizuki was shocked.
"Isn't it that I've traveled to One Piece again?"
