Chapter Thirty: Escaping (Part 1) Please collect

  The pirates on the Hell's Number were waiting with bated breath for William and his party when the sky was already brightening.

  "Why haven't you come yet?"

  "The pursuers inside the city have already come out, did they rescue Captain Bar?"

  "Nonsense! Can't save them, why bother chasing out? You pig-headed fool!"

  "Yet, why haven't they seen anyone?"

  "It will come, it must come!"

  "For Neptune's sake, come back quickly, I can't bear this torture anymore!"

  Looking at the city, the torches inside were slowly extending towards them like a fire dragon, the pirates were anxious like ants on a hot pot, turning around in circles on the deck. The ship was ready for everything, food and water had been replenished by the sailors under the cover of night, the ropes and pulleys had been adjusted early by the sailors, the mainsail and foresail raised high on the mainmast and foremast were inflated by the wind like a longbow with a full string.

  As soon as the pirates weigh anchor they can put this damned city far behind them.

  Will never come back again.

  But can they escape from this city?

  The pirates were on tenterhooks, their hearts burning with anxiety.

  Just as they stretched their necks, stomped their feet, and gazed out at the harbor and city streets in the hazy morning light, shouting loudly, a group of people running at full speed appeared before their eyes.

  The pirates on the Hell's number jumped up, a burst of mad joy: "Back, they're back!"

  When William and Bill dragged themselves aboard the Hell's Bane, they were so exhausted that neither of them could lift a finger.

  The pirates beside him hastily carried the unconscious Captain Bar over and laid him flat on the deck.

  "William, shall we wake up Captain Ball soon?" a pirate asked.

  William gave him a glance: "Nonsense, bring a basin of cold water and pour it on him!"

  With a splash, a pirate immediately brought over a bucket of water and poured it on Captain Bar's body.

  Big Whisker sprang up from the deck, his eyes scanning around in a bewildered manner. He then saw William and Bill looking at him with tired but relieved smiles.

  The old captain's beard shook, and he let out a long sigh: "I praise the sea god Tiria ten thousand times, but it can't express my gratitude and admiration for you all. You've really worked hard!"

  The pirates saw the old captain covered in scars, even his iron hook prosthetic was gone, revealing a horrific stump. Especially on his feet and other hand, the bloody holes were a pitiful sight that moved even the seasoned pirates to sorrow.

  The wound on Old Ba Er's body will probably never heal. He won't be able to lead us in galloping across the ocean like before!

  But anyway, they rescued old Captain Bar from the heavily guarded Jerulan prison. Being alive is better than being dead!

  The pirates' voices were tense and excited as they shouted in unison: "Captain Barbossa, let's set sail!"

  "Aye, Captain Barbossa, give the order!"

  "Let's get out of this damn place!"

  Lao Baer looked around and asked loudly: "Where is Nia? Where is she? And where is Tang Jie?"

  As soon as Old Bar's voice fell, Nia's clear voice rang out: "Father, I'm here!"

  After Niya came down from the cliff, she had been to Dam City many times with Bal, and was extremely familiar with this city. Moreover, she was not injured, and just as William arrived at the port, she also followed closely behind.

  Nina's high-heeled boots clattered on the deck, she ran forward two steps, but then stopped. Her eyes were filled with tears, her chest heaved constantly, as if suppressing her excited emotions.

  Old Bar looked at Nia in front of him and smiled slightly: "I once told you, on this ship, in front of everyone, please call me Captain Bar!"

  Nina burst into tears and smiled, wiping away her tears, saying loudly: "Yes, Captain Ball! Welcome back!"

  The sailors on the ship shouted in unison: "Captain Bar, welcome back!"

  Whether it was the pirates who had previously shouted to abandon Captain Ball and leave Dam, or the pirates who firmly proposed to save Ball, they now looked at the owner of this ship with a respectful and relieved gaze, looking at the pillar and soul of their group.

  Old Ba Er was moved by this shout, he felt his throat a bit choked: "Good, good! Children, you are all very good!"

  Lao Ba turned his head and looked at Nia, asking: "Where's Tang Jie? Isn't he with you?"

  Nia's smile on her face suddenly froze!

  Her heart, hot and excited, fell from the clouds into a dark and bottomless abyss!

  "Didn't he escape with you?" Nia suddenly picked up Bill and asked loudly.

  William struggled to his feet, grasping Nia's hand and saying hoarsely, "Blood Butcher Phil is catching up, he chose to face Blood Butcher Phil so that I could escape... I think, he must be able to win and escape!"

  Nia shook off Bill and shouted hysterically, "I know, of course I know! I saw him kill Blood Butcher with his bare hands! But why didn't he catch up?"

  Everyone on the Hell's Number heard Nia's words and suddenly felt a buzzing in their minds, as if they had exploded!

  The pirates were shocked and amazed, as if they had heard the most unbelievable thing in this world. Even Old Bar was left speechless with his mouth agape for half a day.

  "What? He killed Bloodthirsty Fiel?"

  "This is impossible!! Bloodthirsty Phil is a 3rd class magic swordsman, how could he possibly defeat him barehanded?!"

  "Is it? Nia, didn't you see wrongly?"

  Nina furiously picked up a pirate who questioned her: "I started to identify objects at sea from a distance of ten miles, and you were still drinking milk in your mother's womb! You stupid pig, how dare you suspect that I've lost my eyesight?"

  The pirates were taken aback and didn't dare say another word.

  Lao Ba let out a long sigh: "I knew he had unfathomable potential, but I still underestimated him!"

  "I knew it......" Bill, who had been silent all along, suddenly showed a hint of terror in his eyes and shouted loudly.

  Niya's eyes flashed with electricity and immediately locked onto his face: "What do you know?"

  Bill swallowed his saliva: "I know why Tangie hasn't arrived yet!"

  "Why? Don't you dare sell out, or I'll shut your mouth for good!" Nia was furious, like a madwoman.

  Bill shivered: "He must have gotten lost..."

  The pirates looked at each other in dismay, a moment of silence.

  They coincidentally thought of the residential area in Dam City that was like a Minotaur's labyrinth.

  Niya's whole body was trembling, her face was ashen, and her heart was filled with regret.

  Why didn't I think of this!!!

  We've been to Darmstadt more than once and know the way to the port, but it didn't occur to us that this is Tangie's first time in Darmstadt!

  "I'll get him!" William struggled to climb up from the deck, but was pinned down by Nia's hands like an iron hoop.

  "I'm going!" Nia's voice was as cold as iron. "You wait here! If I don't make it back in time, set sail first!"

  "Niya, it's too late!" Old Bar exclaimed with a long sigh.

  As soon as the words fell, the port of Dam City surged out one after another team of coastal defense troops. These coast guard soldiers wearing red and white striped uniforms held iron shields as tall as a person and long knives, densely rushing towards the Hell's Number.

  The pot of hell suddenly boiled over!

  "Cast off!!"

  "Release the noose quickly and weigh anchor!!"

  The pirates on deck were like their buttocks being burned by fire and rushed to their respective posts.

  Niya suddenly drew out the long sword in her hand and chopped it heavily on the deck, her voice shrill and sharp: "Tang Jie hasn't come back yet! Whoever dares to set sail, I'll kill whoever!!"

  The pale-faced pirates stared at Nia, shouting in unison: "Nia, the great deputy, have you gone mad? If we don't set sail immediately, we'll all be doomed!"

  Niya glared with her eyes, her whole body bursting with cold murderous aura.

  The deck was silent, with only the sound of the harbor's coastal defense troops' "clattering" footsteps and the clashing of iron armor approaching step by step like a death god.

  If someone were to run to the stern of the ship and pull up the anchor at this time, no one would suspect that Nia would personally kill this person!

  A woman who has fallen into the depths of love is beyond reason.

  Just as Crazy Nia and the desperate pirates were at a standoff, Old Bar suddenly slapped one hand on Nia's shoulder and pressed his severed arm onto her long sword, saying softly: "Nia, put down your sword! They are your partners, not your enemies!"

  Nia listened to her father's low voice, and her hard heart suddenly shattered into countless pieces. She burst into tears: "Father, Tang Jie hasn't come back yet!"

  The old man took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Nia, and said slowly: "Child, of course I know! But they're right, if we don't set sail now, we'll all die here!"

  Niya's body swayed, she stared at her father with disbelieving eyes and exclaimed: "Father, it was Tang Jie who saved you back, he risked his life to save you back! How can you abandon him like this?!"

  Old Ba Er's face was stern, his voice faintly revealing a metallic tone: "Of course I know it was him who saved me and allowed me to return to this ship! But as the captain, I'm not only responsible for Tang Jie alone, but also for every single person on this ship!"

  The big-bearded man pointed at Nia and said sternly: "Have you forgotten how I used to teach you?"

  Niya was struck down by Old Bar's words, and she smiled wryly: "Even a lion should know when to give up..."

  "Bar turned around and shouted at the pirates standing in a daze: 'What are you still stunned for, quickly release the noose, raise the anchor, set sail!!'"

  The pirates on the deck responded with a loud shout and were busy in an instant.

  It's almost 8 o'clock in the evening and there is still one more watch.

  Incidentally, I'd like to recommend a book, "Vampire Count", please take a look!
