Chapter 13 We Are Pirates, We Will Not Be Afraid
Over time, Adam became what he is now—paralyzing himself with alcohol every day, bragging with a group of pirates and lowlifes at banquets, and showing off his past exploits and legends.
"It is impossible to set sail, and it will be impossible to set sail in this life."
"You can't fight, but the New World is too dangerous. It's better to stay in Paradise."
Adam's confidence has been shattered, and now he is a fallen pirate, a complete loser.
Now, when he tells his subordinates that he wants to return to the New World, he is merely deceiving himself.
The banquet was very lively, and the praise from hundreds of pirates made Adam feel very proud. He believed that such a day was wonderful. Here, he was strong, and no one dared to provoke him.
Suddenly, a panicked voice broke through the noisy banquet, shattering his fantasy.
"Captain! Captain Adam! Something is wrong!"
A panicked pirate rushed in from the door, fell to the ground with unsteady feet, skidding face down for more than ten meters, finally stopping at Adam's feet.
"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"
Adam felt a flicker of anger. The sight of his pirates so frightened would make him seem incompetent as a captain.
