Pirate: I, son of Roger, Admiral!

Chapter 55 Ghost Ship!
"Yo hoo hoo hoo ~ yo hoo hoo hoo..."

The high-pitched and distant singing gradually approached, and the voice changed from extremely subtle to slightly audible.

Dandelion and the navy soldiers, who were still paying attention to Iger just now, also heard the faint singing voice, and they all perked up their ears to listen carefully to identify the direction of the singing.

The singing is getting closer and closer, and the melody of the song is gradually becoming clear under everyone's whole-hearted listening.

"Binks' wine wow..." Big Brother Will nodded thoughtfully, and some fragments of memories flashed in his eyes.

"Binks' wine?" Tom and a group of young sailors were a little puzzled.

"You don't know it's normal. This is a very old song that has been around for a long time." Uncle Will was obviously recalled by this melody.

"So what kind of song is this?" Tom continued.

"You may hear it in the future. This is a pirate song. In the past, almost all pirates would sing this song." Brother Will's face suddenly filled with a sense of vicissitudes.

"So...is this a group of pirates?" Tom came to a conclusion.

Brother Will nodded and said nothing.

There are pirates singing.

The meaning was clear, and the navy soldiers drew their weapons one by one and quickly set up a fighting posture.

Looking at the navy soldiers who suddenly became serious, Dandelion was still a little uncomfortable for a while. The quick response and the neat formation were completely different from the unruly appearance just now.

But since it was a naval battle, of course she wouldn't meddle in her own business, she turned around and walked to her companions, dragging them into the corner one by one.

"To be honest, I think... this may not be a group of pirates," Iger turned around and said seriously, "but probably a pirate."

"A pirate?" Tom questioned. "How could a pirate enter such a dangerous sea area without even taking care of him."

Iger already had the answer to this matter, but seeing Tom's confident expression, Iger couldn't help but have bad thoughts again.

"Listen carefully, it was sung by one person, and no one else was talking, and the most important thing is that this song is much slower than Binks' fine wine, isn't it?" Iger listed many details.

The sailors quickly followed his reminder and listened carefully, and found that it was exactly what he said.

"Then, so what?" Tom said disdainfully, and didn't understand why Iger said this. "Doesn't that just mean that there is only one person singing?"

"Can you be so sad when you sing to a group of people in a place like this?" Iger asked rhetorically.

"Hmm." Tom stopped for a moment.

That's right!

Although Tom is only 12 years old, he has already undergone rigorous sailing training.

In the process of going to sea, the mood is very important for the navy soldiers, so everyone will bring a lot of wine, learn a lot of songs, and have a party at every turn.

It's all for the voyager's mood.

Not only that, but also the songs they sing, the food they eat, and the wine they eat and drink.

As far as singing is concerned, I usually choose the one that has a cheerful rhythm and brainwashing melody, and everyone can sing together.

You can tell by looking at them. Every time there is a banquet, a group of people gather around holding wine bottles and sing a cheerful naval song.

It is in this atmosphere that the boredom and depression in sailing can be eliminated.

On the contrary, such a slow and sad singing method is definitely a taboo when sailing at sea!

This singing, not only the crew will be infected by this low mood, recalling bad memories, but also will destroy morale and greatly reduce the motivation of sailing.

In the early days of sailing, people did not realize this. There were many famous sailing teams because the musicians on board were buried at the bottom of the sea.

Therefore, in the subsequent trips to the sea, this kind of song is strictly prohibited, unless...

No one on the boat stopped him.

Cold sweat broke out on Tom's forehead.

He suddenly remembered the sea legends that Iger told them just now!

When you come across a boat at sea with only one person singing, don't approach it and don't look at it.

Because it was a ghost ship.

"Do you think the legends I told before are all fake?" Iger said quietly, "Of course, it is only when someone actually encounters it that it spreads."

"No no... no way..." Tom suddenly felt his blood pressure rise and stuttered when he spoke.

"Okay Iger, don't tease him anymore." Brother Will couldn't stand it anymore, glared at Iger and said.

Iger shrugged noncommittally and said:

"Anyway, be on your guard, you might see something you've never seen before!"

He dared to say that because he knew what was going to happen next.

In the original book, after Luffy and his party came to the Devil's Triangle, they also encountered a certain skeleton floating in it.

The atmosphere on the ship suddenly became strange.

Although everyone thought that Iger was making an inappropriate joke, those legends from the sea and the gradually approaching singing made everyone unable to laugh, and instead were a little nervous.

Especially Tom.

He even made up his mind. The scene where he was caught by a zombie and opened his head, his face turned pale, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

The singing got closer and closer, and as the singing became louder and clearer, a blurry shadow gradually appeared in everyone's sight.

The marines looked over nervously, and Tom narrowed his eyes.

At first it was just a vague shadow. As the two ships got closer and closer, the outline of the ship gradually emerged.

Broken masts, jigsaws with holes, a large piece of gunwale missing...even half of the helmsman's compass.

There is no doubt that, in any direction, this is a rotten boat, absolutely impossible to drive.

Ghost Ship.

The answer speaks for itself.

The hearts of all the sailors sank, and Tom even screamed and hid behind Brother Will.

Brother Will glanced at him, ignored him, and quickly turned his attention to the broken ship that was gradually approaching the dog-headed warship.

Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for the broken ship to gradually level with the deck of the warship.

A lanky figure appeared in the mist, and a small top hat was staring at the large, disproportionate head.

Finally, under the gaze of everyone, the high-pitched and melodious singing stopped, and the tall, thin figure also emerged from the fog and clearly entered everyone's field of vision.

It didn't matter that this appeared, Tom, who was hiding behind Brother Will, rolled his eyes.

I saw beside the ship's side, a skeleton with a tea set staring at everyone with dark eyes!
