Chapter 34 Gemini Island
twelve days later.
When the nautical supplies were about to run out, Maud and his party finally saw the outline of the island.
"It's time to come."
Maud was exhausted.
In just thirteen days, they experienced a huge vortex, a hail the size of Bailey, a tornado wrapped in spray and lightning, and many other climate anomalies.
Every time is full of dangers. Fortunately, Lafayette has excellent skills and rich experience. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
This near-miss voyage made Maud realize the importance of a powerful navigator.
"want to drink."
Old alcoholic Bailey slumped on the bow with strength and breathlessness.
The food on board is still sufficient, but it has been out of alcohol for several days.
"It's almost there, bear with it."
Maud glanced at the limp Bailey.
Aside, Jaya looked curiously at the outline of the twin islands.
Lafayette always pays attention to the wind direction and currents, and even if he is approaching his destination, he does not relax because of it.
As the distance got closer, everyone gradually saw the appearance of the twin islands.
As its name suggests, the island consists of two islands with the same area and terrain.
The two islands face each other, the island on the left is in bloom in spring, the island on the right is snow-capped, and the ocean current flows through the channel between them.
In the middle of the river, a giant tree stood in the sky.
Taking a closer look, it was the sturdy roots of the dragon-like trees that were rooted in the rocky ground on the shores of the two islands, which supported the huge tree body hanging above the river.
What is more strange is that this giant tree has been affected by two different climates.
As a result, the left half of the canopy on the left side of Spring Island has grown luxuriantly, while the right half of the right half of Winter Island on the right has only bare branches.
Not only that, a large tunnel-like hole was dug under the tree, making the tree a natural bridge connecting the two islands.
From the perspective of everyone in Maud,
Naturally, the bridge hole under the tree could not be seen.
"What a magical island."
Looking at the appearance of Gemini Island, Jaya's eyes glowed.
The distance between the two islands is only about 500 meters, but it is also the junction of spring and winter.
And that big tree caught between spring and winter refreshed Jaya's cognition.
Not only Jaya, but also Lafayette and Jim have radiance in their eyes.
They were all seeing such an island for the first time.
Maud also found the twin islands interesting, especially the big tree that stood between the two islands.
"Is the name of this tree called Yin Yang Tree?"
Maud makes a very powerful point.
"???"
Everyone looked at Maud silently.
The atmosphere of marveling at the wonders of the great waterway was instantly ruined in half by such a name.
Maud did not pay attention to their gazes, and carefully observed the outline of Gemini Island, and a picture of an organ in the human body suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Do you think the twin islands look like two lungs connected to the bronchi?"
"..."
Jaya, Lafayette, and Jim were speechless.
Bailey, who was lying on the bow, turned his head to look at them, and said with a serious expression: "I have seen lungs, and I heard what the boss said..."
"you shut up."
Jaya looked over.
"OK!"
Bailey turned back immediately and continued to lie on the bow.
Twin Island is a rare double island structure. The Spring Island on the left is called Chunzi Island by the locals, and the Dongzi Island on the right.
Since there is Spring Island, where spring flowers are blooming, most people would not choose Winter Island, which is cold and freezing.
Maud and the others are naturally unavoidable, and let the mast boat go towards Haruko Island on the left.
On the shore of Haruko Island, there are various natural boat mooring places.
The people who arrived at Haruko Island seemed to park their boats here. At first glance, there were a row of boats with different sizes and appearances parked on the shore.
On the other hand, looking at Dongzi Island on the other side, you can hardly see any boat along the shore until you can see it.
On the shore of Haruko Island, on a high hillside, there was a group of about fifty people, each carrying a knife and a gun.
"A newcomer is here."
Someone grinned grimly, looking at the mast boat as if they were looking at a fat prey.
"Amy, check it out."
"it is good!"
A short-statured man responded and took out a thick stack of bounties from his satchel.
Different from the regular bounty orders, the bounty orders in the hands of men almost have pirate flags painted by hand.
The man named Amy glanced at the crossed pirate flag above the mast ship from a distance, and immediately flipped the reward order in his hand in an attempt to find the corresponding information.
Amy turned quickly.
Comparing the past one by one, there is no reward order corresponding to the pirate flag.
"No."
After finishing the page, Amy looked at the leading man.
"Hey, there isn't even a bounty, it looks like it's just a bunch of rookie pirates who have lost their luck."
The leading man was disappointed to hear that, but no matter how small the mosquito's legs were, he looked back at his subordinates.
When he saw that his subordinates didn't respond, he couldn't help but said angrily, "You're all stupid, right? You still don't have a gun ready to attack?"
Listening to the angry shout of the leading man, this group of talents hurriedly raised their muzzles at the distant mast ship.
A bunch of idiots.
The leading man cursed in his heart, and then looked coldly at the mast ship that was heading for Haruko Island.
For people like them, if they want to live a nourishing life, plundering them directly from others is the quickest shortcut.
Twin Island is the first island in the route, and it is also a must for every new pirate group.
This has also spawned many groups that regard the Rookie Pirates as their prey.
These groups are basically divided into the following three types.
1. Pirates go together.
2. Bounty hunters.
3. Traffickers who specifically target pirates.
This group of people on the hillside is the first.
They were once also high-spirited pirates targeting the great waterways.
However,
The short 15-day voyage from Twin Points to here is enough to break their courage and make them lose the courage to challenge the second island.
As the situation trended, he stayed on Haruko Island for a long time to satisfy his daily splurge by hunting newcomer pirates.
Seeing that the mast ship was about to sail within range, the leading man smiled grimly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
At this moment, a group of people came from a distance, and the leader was extremely conspicuous with bright red hair.
"Boss, here comes the turkey."
"Damn turkey, trying to grab my prey again, leave them alone, whoever grabs it is whoever grabs it, no one can break this rule."
The leading man glanced at the group of people who came from a distance, and said coldly: "As soon as the prey is within range, you will shoot immediately."
"Yes."
The crowd responded.
Amy stared at the figures on the deck of the mast ship.
After seeing Maud's appearance clearly, Amy's pupils shrank sharply, the blood on her face faded like a tide, and in an instant, it was as pale as the snow on the opposite bank.
"Boss, something's wrong, don't drive..."
"Bang bang bang...!"
As the mast ship came into range, a group of pirates with guns could not wait to pull the trigger.
Intensive gunfire directly interrupted Amy's half-speaking words.
"It's over."
Amy slumped to the ground.
The leader frowned and looked at Amy and asked, "What's wrong?"
Amy lost his soul and said: "That ship, yes, it is Bacardi Maud's ship!!!"
Hearing this familiar name, the leader's body shook violently several times.
"You, what did you say!?"
Then, the leader was furious, grabbed Amy's collar with one hand, and shouted with red eyes, "Where are your eyes? Where are your eyes?!!"
Amy's face was ashen.
He didn't think that a big pirate worth over 100 million would drive such a broken ship?
The worst part is that the navy didn't update the name of Maud's pirate group, let alone the pirate flag that appeared out of thin air.
What about playing people?
The gunshots coming from the side stopped abruptly.
A group of pirates stared at Maud who came swiftly from the air.
"What a unique welcome ceremony."
Maud fell from the sky and landed on the edge of the hillside, facing a group of stunned and speechless pirates.
not far away.
The turkey and others who were rushing to grab the food suddenly stopped.
"Damn, fortunately, I'm slow."
Hearing Amy's words, Turkey couldn't help but burst out, and immediately turned around and ran.
That is a pirate with a reward of over 100 million.
With their small bodies, wouldn't they go up and jam people's teeth?
"Is that boy Bacardi Maud who was offered a reward of 100 million yuan? Damn, he's really that young."
"The guy who dares to attack the royal family during the World Conference must be a ruthless person."
"Looks like the days of Deyul's idiots are over."
At the same time as Turkey cursed her mother, there was a look of fear on her face.
By the way, when was the last time I saw a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million on Gemini Island?
