On the upper deck at the stern of the Nagatsuka Maru, in the center of the brightly lit crowd, the Japanese first mate easily overturned Valoro, who was a head taller than him, to the ground amid the cheers of many Japanese sailors.

Before Valoro could get up, the proud-looking first mate of the Japanese army arrogantly made an insulting thumbs down gesture, while the Japanese soldiers around him cheered even more enthusiastically.

"let me try"

Before he finished speaking, Karan, who was still a little bruised and swollen, had already jumped into the center of the circle before Wei Ran took a step, stretched out his hand to pick up Valoro, helped him take off his protective gear, and put it on himself without any explanation.

.

"I'm afraid he's going to get beaten again," Wei Ran couldn't help but say.

"It doesn't matter"

Hugo, who was also preparing to go on stage just now, said nonchalantly, "Karan, this bastard, is more resistant to beatings."

"Bang!"

Before he could finish this sentence, Karan, who had just joined hands with the first mate, was thrown to the ground by a beautiful shoulder.

"Let me try it first"

Hugo also got ahead of Wei Ran who was about to say something. After entering the venue, he first picked up Karan who was grinning after being thrown, and then took off the opponent's protective gear and put it on himself.

As expected, although Hugo persisted longer than Karan, he was also thrown to the ground within a few rounds.

After overthrowing three opponents who were taller than him in a row, the cheers of the surrounding Japanese were louder, and the first mate became more and more proud. At the same time, its pair of sly little eyes also glanced at the stretched out hand.

Pull up Hugo's health.

"Don't let it catch your arms or waist," Hugo warned in a low voice. "It's very weird. I was thrown out before I even reacted."

"I'll give it a try," Wei Ran said, already taking a step towards the center of the field.

"Victor, you are not wearing protective gear." Hugo reminded.

"No need." Wei Ran waved his hand carelessly, but his smiling eyes were looking at the first mate opposite.

"You will get hurt if you don't wear protective gear," the first mate warned.

"You will get hurt if you fall"

As he spoke, Wei Ran took out a wad of bills from his pocket and shook them, "If you win, it's yours. If you lose, how about you give me the necklace around your neck?"

"You want this?" the first mate asked, picking up the necklace around his neck.

Seeing Wei Ran nod, the first mate refused, "I won't take this as a bet."

"Or tell me where you got it?" Wei Ran shook the money in his hand again, "Of course, you can still win the money."

"Let me win first and then let's talk." The first mate said arrogantly.

Wei Ran smiled casually and handed the banknotes in his hand to Hugo behind him to help hold it. He took another step forward and accepted the other's hypocritical bow with peace of mind.

Seeing that Wei Ran, who was not wearing protective gear, did not return the favor at all, the first mate made up his mind to teach him a lesson.

With this in mind, it found the opportunity, stretched out its hand forward, grabbed Wei Ran who was in a boxing posture, and accurately grasped the latter's shirt collar with his left hand.

However, before it could grab Wei Ran's left arm and prepare to punch him in the face, there was a tingling sensation in the left elbow where it had already grasped Wei Ran's collar.

At the same time, before his left foot, which he had just raised to trip Wei Ran, had time to exert force, Wei Ran kicked him inward with his right foot, making a crisp "pop" sound.

The momentary distraction caused by this small movement had disastrous consequences. Wei Ran's hand that had just squeezed its left elbow was already pushing the numb left elbow from the outside to the right, and with it,

Along with his calf being kicked from the side, his body also involuntarily turned slightly to the right.

Also in this flash of lightning, Wei Ran's right hand, which had not yet been grasped, changed from a fist to a half-grip with a set of joints open, revealing a taut palm and an inwardly clasped thumb.

"Snapped!"

In the second crisp sound, Wei Ran's right palm hit the right side of the first mate's chin in an accurate diagonal line, and in conjunction with the opponent's slight right turn, he unleashed a force far greater than it looked.

.

With one blow, the first mate couldn't help but look up at the sky. However, Wei Ran used this hand to grab the upper arm of the elbow pushed by his right hand, and continued to pull hard to the left, forcing the opponent's body to continue to turn until his back was almost facing him.

While holding himself, he raised his right foot again and kicked the knee of the right leg where the first mate's center of gravity was.

"Plop!"

After this kick, the first mate, who had bitten his tongue due to being hit on the jaw, knelt down on one knee uncontrollably, and his arm, which was still numb at the elbow, had been twisted behind its back by Wei Ran

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ran stepped on its left ankle with the same foot that had just kicked its knee socket.

All this sounds slow to say, but it happened in an instant in less than two seconds. At this time, some people who reacted slowly were even cheering, and even those who reacted quickly subconsciously let out an exclamation. And those who were fighting

The sailors who had raised their beer glasses before had not even let their lips leave the glass.

After deliberately pausing for a second, Wei Ran pulled up the first mate. However, almost when the other person stood firm, he grabbed the hand he was holding with his backhand and prepared to exert force.

But Wei Ran, who had already guessed that a baby was about to come out, took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, raised his knee and gave it a hard blow on its belly.

Knocking the first mate who was preparing for a sneak attack to the ground again, Wei Ran ignored the severe pain in the opponent's abdomen and stretched out his hand towards the opponent in an upright manner, holding his stomach in pain and twitching, and it looked like he was about to vomit.

The deputy was dragged to his feet.

"Do you want to continue?" Wei Ran took a step back, took the cash from Hugo and casually put it into his pocket and asked.

"You violated the law," the first mate said unconvincingly, holding his stomach.

"We didn't agree on any rules." Wei Ran spread his hands innocently, "And there shouldn't be a sneak attack in your rules, right?"

Hearing this, the first mate snorted, pinched the necklace around his neck and said, "I bought the necklace from a native."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Bought it?" Weiyan Weiran raised his eyebrows, "Where did you buy it?"

"Why are you so curious about this?" the first mate asked a little warily.

"That's the beak of a bird of paradise," Wei Ran explained in a natural manner, "It's hard to buy this kind of bird now."

"How do you know this is a bird of paradise?" the first mate asked curiously.

"Can you show me?" Wei Ran stretched out his hand towards the other party.

After hesitating for a moment, the first mate finally took off the necklace and handed it to Wei Ran.

"Valoro, block the light and stand behind me." Wei Ran said deliberately while taking the necklace.

Taking the hint, Valoro also stood beside Wei Ran, getting closer to the necklace in his hand without leaving a trace.

"I'm an Australian sailor, and all birds of paradise in the world are native to Papua, so of course I know them."

While observing the necklace, Wei Ran babbled in a matter-of-fact tone, "Yes, it is indeed a bird of paradise. This blue-white beak is as valuable as their gorgeous feathers.

But it’s really rare to find a necklace like yours. It seems to be in the style of an indigenous tribe. You must have spent a lot of money to buy it, right? It’s really enviable.”

As expected, Wei Ran's last little compliment immediately made the first officer's face show a proud look, and he reached out and took away the necklace from Wei Ran's hand.

Seeing this, Wei Ran secretly grasped Valoro's tense wrist and said in a deliberately envious tone, "Keep it well. It is said that the beak of the Bird of Paradise can bring good luck, especially this blue bird of paradise."

Bird’s beak.”

“It definitely brought me a lot of good luck.”

After being complimented again, the first mate touched the necklace that was hung around his neck again, changed the subject and asked, "Victor, how did you do that just now? I haven't been knocked down for a long time."

"We often fight with others on the street, so we always need some means to save our lives."

Wei Ran pointed at the wound on Karan's face pretending to be proud, "To tell you the truth, we had a fight with someone before we got on the boat."

Using this topic, the two parties chatted for a while before they separated. The four of them, Wei Ran, walked to the edge of the deck again.

"Do you see clearly?" Wei Ran lowered his voice and asked.

Valoro nodded, "That is the necklace of the bravest hunter of our tribe. I can't mistake it. Hugo, I even know whose necklace it is. We all saw it on the Kokoda Trail."

His dismembered body."

"Calm down first." Hugo glanced at the crowd still gathering in the distance, "Let's go back and think of a solution first."

"Let's go." As Wei Ran spoke, he pushed Valoro's shoulders and followed Hugo and young Karan to the cabin in the distance.

On this extraordinarily long night, the cabin of the four Weiran people rarely heard the snoring that had been heard before. The three Hugo people lying in the hammocks all tossed and turned, thinking of ways, and finally decided to wait until the ship docked.

, just try to trick the first mate off the ship.

This was obviously not a good strategy, but Wei Ran did not join the discussion because he knew that the necklace might be returned to Valoro soon.

However, to his disappointment, the sailors on the deck outside the cabin did not celebrate for long before they returned to the cabin. The whaling ship that started its return gradually became quiet, and Hugo did not go there either.

Send the drunk captain to the meeting room - Captain Fernando on the other end is not even drunk.

The next day passed in a blink of an eye. Wei Ran and the other three were called to help in the kitchen early, while Hugo was called to help guard the radar. After dinner, the four of them followed the Japanese sailors and started to get rid of the enemy.

It can be said that there is no idle time at all during the whole day of rust-painting work.

At dusk on the third day, when we were about to dock in Brisbane in five or six hours, the loudspeaker that had been silent for two days suddenly heard the Japanese shouts of the sailors on duty in the watchtower again!

This time, Wei Ran, who was taking pictures of Hugo and the others on the bow deck, even clearly saw a huge body leaping out of the sea not far away that was dyed red by the sunset!

Wei Ran and Captain Fernando, who was taking pictures of the sunset not far away, pointed their cameras at the huge figure in the sky and pressed the shutter!

"Wow——!"

When the figure crashed into the sea again, everyone on the bow also heard the clear sound of water splashing.
