Chapter 1443: Courage 11 (Thanks To Alliance Leader Riye)

Chen fan held his saber and tried to wave it twice, but just then, a big wave hit him.

As people who lived on the sea all year round, the pirates were used to this kind of wind and waves. They stood straight and did not move.

On the other hand, Chen fan stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

The pirates burst into laughter again. Life on the sea was boring, and there was no gambling on the ship, so there was not much fun to be had. This time, even some pirates who were not here were attracted by the laughter, the number of people increased. In the end, besides the pirates who had jobs and could not leave their posts, almost everyone who could come came.

The people waved their fists to cheer for the pirate who had volunteered to participate in the battle. "Toby, kill him! Let him know what a real man is!"

"You'd better end the battle within three moves!"

"Look at this poor kid. He can't even stand properly. It Can't be his first time taking a boat out to sea, right?"

Chen fan listened to the abuse and laughter that filled the air around him and subconsciously shrunk his head. The thought of retreating arose in his mind again. He only saw that the guy opposite him was almost twice his size, furthermore, it was obvious that he had been in battle for a long time. There was no way he could win this battle no matter what.

Chen fan knew that his old habit was back. He couldn't help but cower at the critical moment, even though his knife skill had already reached level 3, if Chen fan remembered correctly, the knife skill that Zhang Heng used when he left blacksail dungeon was also level 3.

Although there was a gap between level 3 and level 3, especially when he had learned it himself and obtained it directly by cheating, the real power was definitely different. However, the opponent in front of him was not Zhang Heng, he was just a random pirate.

Chen fan did not have any impression of the name Toby in the original novel. He did not know whether it was because he joined later or because he had always been in the pirate gang, but he did not have much of a role.

In short, his position in the original novel was about the same as Chen Fan's. It was fair for a random person to fight a random person.

However, Chen Fan had a golden finger in his hand. If he did not dare to fight in this battle, then he might as well jump into the sea.

Therefore, although he was afraid, Chen Fan still put on a stance. With the LVL 3 blade skill's bonus, he looked decent. Annie narrowed her eyes when she saw his stance.

However, Toby didn't care at all. He even put his knife back into his waist, indicating that he wanted to play with Chen fan empty-handed.

However, just as he made this move, Annie said, "Be careful, he's not as weak as you think."

Although Toby was a little unconvinced, he had no choice but to stop his playful behavior after the captain spoke. He pulled out the saber on his waist once again and gestured twice at the air. After that, he no longer dragged his feet, he charged at Chen Fan.

Chen fan immediately became nervous when he saw this. His entire mind went blank. The strategy he had thought of to face the enemy was now completely thrown to the back of his mind. All that was left in his eyes was Toby, who was charging at him like a bull.

Previously, when he was reading a novel, powerful experts had a very powerful aura. They could suppress their opponents before they made a move. Chen fan did not expect that an unremarkable little character like Toby could give him a similar feeling, could it be that he was really too weak?

For a moment, Chen fan felt that he was going to be finished. The surrounding pirates also had the same thought because Chen fan looked like he was scared silly and had been standing there motionlessly.

However, the cheers suddenly stopped in the next moment. It was as if someone had suddenly grabbed the necks of the pirates. All of them widened their eyes and could not believe what they had seen.

Chen fan was still standing there, shivering non-stop. No matter how one looked at it, he looked like he was going to die.

However, the one who was really going to die was Toby. The latter was hugging his stomach and lying at Chen Fan's feet with a pained expression.

The battle ended as quickly as everyone expected, but the result was out of everyone's expectations.

A few pirates who were on good terms with Toby were shocked when they saw this. Then, they drew their weapons and were about to rush over and Chop Chen Fan to the ground to avenge their friends.

However, before they could move, Annie stopped them. "Toby is fine. He was just hit in the stomach by the back of the knife. Moreover, we have to follow the rules of the duel."

The Pirates finally quieted down. Then, Annie looked at Chen Fan. "Good knife skills. I actually made a mistake before."

"..."

Chen fan didn't say anything. It wasn't that he was pretending to be cool, but he didn't know what to say at all. Because he was really scared silly just now. That knife skill was purely an instinctive reaction of his body after equipping the level 3 knife skill.

"And it looks like your blade skill is actually on the same path as mine. Perhaps we can exchange pointers in the future when we have the chance."The red-haired female pirate's eyes lit up, and she felt that her hand was a little itchy.

Chen fan was shocked. His blade skill was originally stolen from Annie by using the power of the Fox and the tiger. He had only used one move and the main character had already discovered the clues. If he really fought with Annie, he would definitely be exposed, moreover, the power of the Fox to fake the tiger could only be activated once every three days. Each time, it only had an hour's effective time.

Chen fan also could not guarantee that he would be able to draw a knife skill skill the next time.

But no matter what happened in the future, at least he had passed this hurdle.

Taking advantage of the fact that the pirates were all present, Annie directly voted to admit Chen Fan and the other two newcomers into the team. In the end, what Chen Fan did not expect was that Toby was the first person to vote in favor.

Although this guy looked like a barbarian and had just lost to Chen fan, he was unexpectedly reasonable. Moreover, he was clear about his grudges. He felt that Chen Fan had shown mercy by only hitting him in the stomach with the back of his knife, therefore, he returned the favor now.

With him as the starting point, the other pirates no longer had any objections to accepting Chen Fan. In the end, Chen Fan successfully got on the pirate ship and got to see those familiar names as he wished, the only thing that made him feel regretful was that he wasn't able to see the legendary cold crow.

It was said that half a month ago, that ship had fought with four Navy warships. In the end, not only did it successfully escape, but it also sank a navy warship and sent one back to the dock to be repaired, however, as the price, the Cold Crow was also damaged to a certain extent. At this moment, it was being repaired in the Pirates'secret base.

"I once met a man who had the same skin color as you at the pirate port."

After the vote, Annie did not immediately leave to return to her captain's cabin. Instead, she said to Chen Fan, who had just boarded the ship, "He told me that he was just a passerby, but he did appear here with... a certain purpose. What about you? Why do you want to come to my ship so desperately?"

"I. . ."Chen fan opened his mouth. He wanted to say that it was because he wanted to live for sixty days, but he swallowed his words. He realized that this was a good opportunity, so he changed his words, "I have heard of your reputation and know that you are a fearless person, but I am the opposite. I am a very timid person. I, I want to learn how to be brave from you."

After saying this, he looked at the red-haired pirate with some apprehension and some anticipation.

However, Annie shook her head when she heard this, "If you want to learn how to be brave, then you have come to the wrong place. You may be able to teach your knife skills and gunner skills, but you can not teach something like bravery. I know what you are thinking. Some people think that pirates are very brave because they are fearless of death. They chase their prey on the vast sea, fight against the wind and waves, and even dare to fight against the Navy."

"Isn't it brave to be fearless of Death?"Chen fan was puzzled.

"Of course not,"Annie said calmly, "Most people are just idiots. They look down on their own lives and the lives of others. This has nothing to do with courage. At most, it can only be considered reckless."

"Ah, then... then what is courage?"Chen fan was at a loss.

"True courage comes from fear."The red-haired female pirate looked into the young man's eyes. "Have you ever thought about what you're afraid of?"

"I. . . AM afraid of too many things,"Chen Fan said sheepishly.

"No, I'm talking about what you're truly afraid of."

"Uh... all those guys that I can't Beat?"Chen fan thought about it and clenched his fists. "If I were as powerful as Zhang Heng and you, I wouldn't be afraid of anything anymore."

"Of course, strength is important, but it's not the source of courage. No matter how much you train, there will always be someone stronger than you in this world. What are you going to do when you meet them? Kneel down and beg for mercy with tears in Your Eyes?"

"It's better than me kneeling down and begging for mercy with tears in my eyes whenever I meet some random passerby,"Chen Fan said dejectedly as he recalled his embarrassing performance in front of the toilet three days ago, "I'm really afraid of being beaten and hurt."

"No one isn't afraid of pain, but there are things worse than pain in this world,"Annie said.

Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat. He thought of his own regrets and frustrations these days. They were almost everywhere, filling up all the gaps in his life like a tide, almost swallowing him up, if it weren't for this matter, he might not have accepted the invitation and risked his life to participate in this dangerous game.

Moreover, he knew that Loki had dug a hole for him, yet he still jumped in. Even if he had the golden finger, who knew how many rounds he could survive. Chen fan didn't think that he, a passerby, would be so lucky all the time, every time, he would get the skill he wanted to draw.

The red-haired pirate's eyes seemed to be able to see through his thoughts. She spoke slowly, "See, this is the price of retreating. Remember your mood at that time. The next time you want to retreat, remember it. See which is more painful, the enemy's fist, or the precious things that you will lose if you retreat."
