My friends are all pirates

In the end, Lan Xing's memory gradually flew away and became blurred in the alcohol.

When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on the haystack on the lower deck, next to a large pile of cages containing chickens and ducks.

Amidst the clanging, he was awakened by the sound of the ship's bell.

The continuous ringing of the bell woke Asherid up, and he quickly got up and climbed up to the open deck along the cabin.

"Get up! Time to work!"

The sound of the bell is clearer here, accompanied by the cries of people.

Acherid looked at the sailor who was still ringing the bell. He was an acquaintance from the same street. At the crew meeting yesterday, this person was elected as the boatswain.

There were still a few sporadic people lying down in class A, who were also awakened by the bell and the voice of the bosun. These people got up skillfully and immediately integrated into the work on the deck.

At first glance, it looks like an old sailor, and it can enter the working mode anytime and anywhere.

"Asherid."

The boatswain walked up to Alsherid and pointed to the location of the capstan.

"Go and help them lift the anchor as soon as possible, and then go to the helmsman, he is in the cargo hold."

Chapter 6 Character is more important than technology

On the bustling deck, as a rookie, Asherid ran to the capstan and started pushing the capstan with several sailors.

Now he is still a "lander" on the ship.

There may be "land people" on any ship, and every sailing ship with ocean-going capabilities is a "labor-intensive" organization. Apart from those who operate sail operations and weapon systems, people who are not professional in sailing are also needed. The work of the ship includes the maintenance and repair of the ship, making the necessary tools, repairing and maintaining the weapon, etc. Some people will also become members of the sailors after receiving sufficient sailing training.

As a blacksmith, Asherid's job on the ship is mainly to maintain the weapons for his companions.

As the winch turned, the anchor was pulled up, and Acherid went to the bilge to find Bussel as the bosun had said before.

When Asherid saw Bussel, the old blacksmith was cleaning the windows of the light cabin in the light cabin.

"You came just in time, help me carry it."

Bussel handed the kerosene lamp he was carrying to Asherid.

The lighting of the lower deck is completely dependent on the light transmission of the open deck, but when it comes to the lower deck, the light transmission of the deck alone is not enough, and because there are no portholes, the air circulation is also very poor.

Such an environment cannot be called comfortable at all.

After tidying up the light cabin, Yasherid followed Buser into the area where grain was stored.

A layer of gravel was laid on the place where he stood, and when Asherid stepped on it, his feet made a clicking sound.

He could smell the smoky smell that hadn't completely dissipated, and it should be the ballast below.

"Be careful, don't kick it loose." Bussel said without looking back, "It's just been paved."

Although Asherid didn't think he would pull away such a thick layer of sand, including the pig iron underneath, after walking a few steps, but Bussel said so, he respected the other party's wishes and took it lightly. Some.

Wooden barrels are fixed here one by one, and inside are sealed food, wine and fresh water.

They also act as ballast for the ship.

Yasherid followed Bussel to check the fixing of the wooden barrel first, and then checked the gunpowder depot, shell depot, gunpowder processing cabin and emergency cabin in turn.

After completing the inspection, the two left this depressing place.

As the only two blacksmiths on board, their master and apprentice can use a small room separated by wooden boards, and in the rear part of the ship, although it still belongs to the second deck, the height of the cabin here can allow people to stand upright.

There are no plank beds, and everyone sleeps in hammocks.

There is no real personal space on the ship, and the original captain's cabin has also been changed. Henry is the captain, but his living standard on the ship is similar to that of everyone else. On the contrary, technicians can have a relatively independent space to use.

And in the "lounge" of Bussel and Yasherid, not only the place to sit, but also the table were cleaned up.

Bussell and Acherid sat down here and chatted.

"Master, what is my job today?" Ashred asked.

"Now? When I first went to sea, there was no such thing as a blacksmith." Bussel said, "It's nothing more than some strength to help you help. Compared with these, how does it feel to go to sea for the first time?"

"I think it's okay," Ashred said.

"That's good. If you can't stand the sea, it will be even more uncomfortable later."

Bussel was relieved a lot.

Everywhere there will be the kind of people who just can't go to sea, and there is no reason at all.

Even if you encounter it, you are unlucky.

After casually chatting for a few more words, and giving Asherid some details to pay attention to on board, Bussel went to the deck. After all, he is the helmsman, and he still has a lot of work to do.

In the following days, Asherid "enjoyed" the treatment of being a powerful person on a daily basis.

The mast crew liked him best.

As a single-masted ship with limited weight, the Imagination is not that kind of big guy, so the rigging is not very complicated. The addition of a strong person can greatly improve the working efficiency of the mast group and improve the working intensity.

For Asherid, it helped him understand the functions of various rigging and learn to operate them according to the instructions. Gradually, he also began to know how to catch the correct wind direction in time, and the sailors no longer regarded him as a Pure "land people" came to see it.

Everyone felt that he had a great talent for making a living at sea.

But from Asherid's point of view, he doesn't feel this kind of flattery, and thinks it's nothing to be proud of.

Sailboats are a product of the agricultural age. The setting and operation of rigging is not a particularly sophisticated or incomprehensible technology. Under the superficial complexity, it is only a set of very simple and direct rules. As long as the number of sails is based on the The same pattern is repeated and the corresponding operating cables are added.

Compared with rigging, Acherid felt that knotting ropes was more troublesome. There were too many types of knots to memorize, and this was also one of the true criteria for judging a sailor's sophistication.

The professional quality of sailors is not reflected in the operation and setting of rigging, but in whether they can correctly judge the direction in various harsh situations, skillfully complete various knots and splicing ropes together.

In general, because Asherid learned very hard and quickly, his relationship with the crew has become more and more harmonious. He has proved with practical actions that he is not a burden on this ship.

However, after the Imagination left the relatively stable offshore climate and began to really enjoy the unpredictable and bullshit weather of the Great Channel, he still vomited.

But after spitting, he began to get used to it again.

It has to be said that the current quality of this body is still acceptable.

Not only is he strong, but he can also jump high, as if the gravity of this world has been reduced by a lot when it is distributed to him.

Even though he has tried very hard to restrain himself, he has naturally become a strong man in the eyes of others.

If he hadn't been paying attention to the changes in this area, things like opening the door and accidentally pulling the door handle down would definitely happen frequently.

At first glance, he seems to have golden fingers.

But Asherid didn't agree with calling this a golden finger, and the one given away for nothing was called a golden finger.

Leaving aside this point, although before he crossed, the manga of One Piece already had the saying that the combat power of the three migrant workers was the lowest, but... everything should be viewed dialectically.

Let’s not talk about the fact that One Piece is still full of uncertainties before Asherid’s time travels. In terms of combat power alone, it also depends on who you compare with.

Changing to a crossing point with a really low combat power, Asherid would be reluctant to wave.

You can even howl and say that you are a man who has escaped the shackles of gravity.

But the reality is that although the upper limit of the monsters here may be low, they are very down-to-earth, and they especially like to take root in the grassroots. The number is large and unpredictable.

Except for the sons of the planes, those high-profile supporting roles who pretend to be aggressive will always be beaten up by the sky for no reason.

Regarding this matter, the person on Sky Island has a great say.

The most impressive scene in the One Piece manga for Asherid is not the war on the top, but the emoticon of the man in Sky Island that is emphatically drawn and has a large layout in the manga.

Those who have knocked the powerful fruit are all like that, so what is his meager ability?

Naturally, there is no strong fruit, and there is no domineering, and the sword skills and slashing can't be used, and the sword skills that can only cut iron are at the level of handyman in this world.

Compared to the illusory Goldfinger, Ashred felt that the important thing was that he stopped throwing up.

After yet another wild turbulence, the Imagination burst into peaceful waters.

The vagaries created by the intersecting season island effects also include, of course, the good weather that can make people feel good.

After experiencing the baptism of the storm, Alcherid was drenched all over. He leaned against the port wall of the ship to calm down.

Because of his "strength", he was considered a person who would not be easily thrown into the sea, so he was arranged to help on the open deck in bad weather.

At this time, it wasn't just Acherid who was enjoying the peaceful atmosphere on the open deck. Everyone ran to the open deck. For safety reasons, many people had to hide in the cabin when the storm hit. Only the most experienced sailors could Able to continue working on deck and maneuver the vessel through the waves.

"Asherid, this is yours." The bosun came over and handed a bottle of wine to Asherid.

The fresh water on the ship began to deteriorate in the second week of going to sea, and now, wine has replaced water, but it is impossible to drink it openly. It has been nearly a month since I went to sea, and there is no ship on the Imagination. Tensions are growing day by day, and the rationing system has already begun to be implemented on board.

Asherid skillfully uncorked the bottle, took a sip, and got envious eyes from some of his companions, but they were just envious.

These days, Asherid has fully proved to everyone that skills can be cultivated, but character is not necessarily so.

Someone was accidentally knocked into the air by the waves before, if it wasn't for Asherid who happened to be right next to him and pulled him back as soon as he stretched out his hand, this person would definitely have to fall into the sea.

The problem is that most people don't dare to talk about it at all in that situation, for fear that they will be dragged into the sea with themselves.

It can be said that Ah Sherid's actions are stupid, but no one will say that he did something wrong, and everyone hopes to have such a companion.

With one hand propped on the bulwark and the other holding the bottle, Alsherid sighed contentedly as he felt the liquid flowing in his mouth and throat.

The spoiled fresh water is really disgusting, even if it is mixed with wine, it tastes even more disgusting than the one he drank during the experiment at home.

Not only that, after a month of ocean voyage, water seepage began to appear on the ship, and the carpenters and coopers were extremely busy. Drainage, repair of leaks, and maintenance and manufacturing of new wooden barrels were already their daily routines. Scrubbing decks and cabins with sulfur and sulfur to eliminate the stench also became something sailors did at every opportunity.

Suddenly, Asherid heard someone shouting loudly above his head.

"There's a boat coming! Starboard! Twice!"

Chapter 7 Out of the sea, if you are not poisoned by wine, you will be poisoned by food

On the observation deck of the mast, a sailor was standing there screaming.

Just listening to his voice, you can hear the taste of ecstasy.

Everyone, including Asherid, looked towards the right side of the ship. On the sea level, a mast with sails was raised.

Everyone's eyes are hot.

It doesn't matter what's on that ship, what matters is whether it can survive the fight.

At the stern of the ship, the first mate was watching with a binoculars.

After only watching for a short while, he shouted to the deck: "Howard, tell Captain Henry to come on deck, we have something to do!"

A crew member hurried into the stern cabin and called for someone to go.

Asherid walked to the starboard side, and within a short while, the hull of the other party had also risen from the sea level, but it was still far away, and the situation could not be seen clearly with the naked eye.

It can only be seen that it is a two-masted ship, but the size of the ship is about the same as that of our own side, and it is not bigger because of one more mast.

There is a high probability that it will be a merchant ship. With this design, it will also be at a disadvantage compared to its own side in terms of speed.

The Imagination did not raise the pirate flag at this time, but was disguised as a merchant ship by painted canvas bunkers.

Ysera Pirates respects the traditions of the pirate business in every way.

"Mr. Diss, what did you find?" Henry's voice came, and the captain had already boarded the deck in full armor, and took a telescope from the first mate named Diss to look at it.

"Two degrees to the starboard side, there is a ship that looks like a merchant ship." First Officer Diss said.

"It's really like that when you look at it." Henry smiled, and raised the binoculars to look.

When he put down the binoculars, he was already smiling.

"It is indeed a merchant ship, and it is a fair competition." Henry issued an order, "Brothers, pull up the sails, and the port side is five miles away."

The captain issued an order, and everyone who couldn't wait to get to work as quickly as they could.

"Pull up the topsail!"

"Everyone get ready!"

Amidst the shouts of enthusiasm, Asherid also joined the ranks of helping to raise the sail.

They pulled the rope, adjusted the angle and face of the sail, and increased the speed of the Kinkau.

"Will they escape early?" Ashred asked his companions beside him. "By the way, their boat should be about the same size as ours. Why do they have two masts?"

"That's why the captain said it was a fair competition." The companion laughed, "Look at that ship, their mainsail is not as big as ours. This kind of ship is more stable than ours, but the speed is not as fast as ours."

"Then why don't they make the mainsail bigger?"
