Volume 5 Chapter 22 - Problems that can be solved with money aren’t problems (1/2)

An hour later, the Unfolding Wings, the Morning Sun, and the Goddess of Victory Iris carried Narvil and the captured pirates to a small island that was forty kilometers south of where the fight occurred last night.

This island that had been named Thunderbolt Island by Ragsar wasn’t small. Standing on the deck of the Unfolding Wings to look over it, one couldn’t even see the other side.

In terms of side to side, according to the estimate Narvil made with his eyes, it was at least over five kilometers.

There were women and children gathered on the beach who when they saw the three large Magic Ships approach were all stirred. They all began shouting and some of the children among them jumped up, as if they were very excited.

“These are the relatives of your pirate group?” Narvil asked Ragsar beside him.

“Un.” Ragsar nodded without any emotions.

“How many people are there on the island? I’m referring to the women and children.” Narvil asked.

Ragsar looked at Narvil with a strange look. He had a thought and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

These three ships had such powerful weapons, they probably weren’t normal merchants.

This fellow cared about the women and children on the island, could it be they…..they were actually slave traders?

Seeing the strange look on Ragsar’s face, Narvil didn’t know what he was thinking, but it also wasn’t important. Right now Ragsar and his hundred subordinates were all in his hands, they couldn’t do anything to him.

“Tell me how many people there are. If there are enough people, I can think of a better way to cooperate.”

Hearing Narvil say the word “cooperate” again, Ragsar found it a bit unbelievable.

No matter what, he couldn’t think of anything worth cooperating with them on.

“Un…..Adding in the brothers, there are just over five hundred people on the island.” Ragsar honestly said.

“Five hundred…..It isn’t enough, but it is still good.” Narvil thought about it before giving a hand signal.

Two sailors of the Unfolding Wings nodded before leaving. After a while, Ragsar heard the sound of water splashing.

“Come, we’ll take a look at the island together.”

Ragsar was confused as he followed Narvil. He came to the side of the Unfolding Wings and saw Narvil grab a rope before sliding down.

Ragsar looked down and saw that Narvil had landed on a boat that was made completely of iron that was a bit bigger than the wooden boats he normally used.

“Go down.” The two sailors pushed Ragsar from behind.

In this situation, Ragsar didn’t think that much and grabbed the rope, easily sliding down.

After a while, several sailors also slid down the rope.

Then Ragsar saw Narvil press some complicated buttons on a complex platform at the front of the ship. The ship trembled before it charged forward.

In just a moment, the ship began moving very quickly. It completely surpassed the speed of the fastest ship that Ragsar had ever seen in his life.

Ragsar watched the meter high waves on the side of the boat and he was shocked.

When he had been riding that steel monster call the Magic Boat, he felt that it was very fast, but now this little boat was even faster than it.

In just two minutes, this little boat had crossed the thousand meters between the Unfolding Wings and the shore.

Narvil and the sailors jumped out, bringing the captured Ragsar onto the island.

Behind them, there were several identical iron ships that came to the shore with sprays of water.

There were several dozen sailors that jumped out holding strange looking crossbows. There were also several young men and women who had fair skin that wasn’t like that of a sailor and had noble clothing that came out.

“Captain Ragsar, choose a few people who are familiar with this island and have them give us a tour.” Narvil said to Ragsar with a smile.

Ragsar finally couldn’t take it anymore, “I say, just what do you want to do? I am trapped in your hands and can’t say anything, but you won’t kill me or let me go, just what do you want to do?”

“I said it, I want to cooperate with you.” Narvil had a faint smile, but Ragsar really wanted to punch him in the face.

“Cooperate my ass! We are pirates, how can we cooperate with you?”
