Chapter 116: Powerful Gray, Peculiar Rhodes
Rhodes never imagined he'd have the chance to ride on a wooden sailing ship in his life. He thought that with trains already existing, sea ferries would at least be steam-powered, but it turned out to be a wooden sailing ship.
It felt like there wouldn't be any dissonance if they hoisted a skull flag at the top of the mast.
But listening to the captain give orders, watching the sailors shout in unison as they pulled various ropes, and seeing their hands stained black with tar.
Seeing the ship set sail from the port with everyone's coordinated effort actually had its own charm.
Quietly, he enjoyed the sea breeze for a while.
The autumn sea breeze was a bit chilly, and Rhodes hunched his shoulders and naturally picked up Gray's windbreaker, putting it on:
"Gray, do you think there might be pirates out here?"
"Yeah, there are," Gray said, not taking his coat back—he wasn't afraid of the cold.
"Really?" Rhodes asked. "Are they looking for one piece?"
"?"
"Their main thing is robbing, and plenty of them are killers," Gray replied.
