Chapter 218: The Tin Knight and The Singing Bones (6)
“Wait a moment, this one must be yer companion! Do ya think me words are mere bluff now!?”
Saying so, Cap’n Bill dangled Rapunzel—no, now renamed Trot, who was tied with ropes, over the side of the ship.
If he were to let go, Trot would fall without even being able to break her fall.
However, Dorothea’s reaction was cold.
“You. Before you became that shape and form, you were human, right? Then think carefully.”
“What do ye mean?”
“Say you want to go on a trip, and you briefly board a ship that’s not particularly yours. There are other guests hitching a ride on that ship besides you. The voyage ends and you part ways with those other guests, but one day suddenly those other guests say to you, ‘Oh! Friend, my comrade! Please lend me money trusting in our friendship! While you’re at it, it would be even better if you put up a few organs as collateral.’”
“Who be those scallywags that best be finely chopped n’ thrown as chum for the fishies?”
“You think so too, right? You can’t call someone a comrade just because you briefly rode a ship together? I have nothing to do with her, so just do whatever.”
“Ahem.”
Realizing things weren’t going as planned, Cap’n Bill’s face twisted grotesquely.
Unlike ordinary skulls that lacked the ability to express emotions, being a golden skull, it could transform freely like soft clay.
