I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 164: To the East!(4)

"Is it a stranded boat? Those are pretty rare nowadays."

A bulky crewmate then came forward and spoke to Paris with wariness.

"Be careful, captain; it could be a trap."

Paris nodded and motioned for the rest of the crew to move.

"Capture the man that is on the boat immediately."

The crewmates nodded and began preparing their weapons and ropes. They then just wait for the boat to come in contact with their ship, as they do that, they examine the black-clothed man on the boat.

"He appears to be completely alone."

"I also don't see anything on his boat."

The crewmates exchanged puzzled looks before shrugging their shoulders. They simply assumed it was a nobody who had been washed away by the waves.

Tap!

Paris then spoke to the crewmates after they heard the boat make contact with their ship.

"Get the man."

The crewmates nodded and immediately jumped down, laughing uncontrollably. Even though what they are greeting is just one man in a boat, they could not resist laughing as they always use laughter as a taunt to the ships they've wrecked.

The bulky man then jumped down onto the boat, causing it to rock violently and even catapult the man into the ocean if he hadn't gripped onto the boat in time.

Because of the sudden shock, Luke, the man on the boat, nearly ripped off the wooden boat.

"Jesus Christ!"

Luke clenched his teeth and gripped the boat as tightly as he could to keep his balance and avoid falling off. He then looked at the bulky man in front of him, restraining himself from glaring at him.

'Even though pirates are known as savages, I never expected them to be this extreme with a man in a rotten wooden boat!'

Luke frowned internally, suddenly regretting his life choices and wondering if he could ever go back, he just wants to go home now.

Luke tried to calm himself down by smiling up at the bulky man, which caught the bulky man off guard. Luke ignored the bulky man's puzzled look and began to speak while still smiling.

"What is your name? What are you doing in my boat? Are you interested in joining me on an adventure on the high seas? "

The bulky man was perplexed as he looked down on the unknown man, who was still smiling stupidly at him. He then raises his head and meets Paris's gaze.

"Captain, I think this guy is dumb"

For a split second, Luke looked at the bulky man with soulless eyes. Even if his intention was to appear stupid in the pirate's eyes, he can't help but interpret it as a personal attack for some reason.

'Can I Strangle this man?'

Luke resisted the urge to perform the aforementioned action and simply smiled. The bulky man then looked down at him, disappointed in him. Luke then noticed the bulky man sighing and pulling a rope from his pocket. Luke then smiled and pointed to it. He then began to spew nonsense.

"Oh, you've got a rope! And it appears to be a lengthy one! We can make a net out of it and catch sardines—oh? Why are you tying me up?"

Luke smiled while looking at the bulky man tying the rope around his body. He then let the man carry him like a potato sack on his shoulders and began climbing his way up to the ship. Luke then does a burst of mild laughter.
