The civic area of ​​Port Havana, on an old street.

August hesitated in the shadow of the street corner, looking at a small shop not far away from the opposite side.

It was a small shop run for housewives, from needles, threads, rouge and powder to washing basin, washing board, baking tray and egg whisk. The owner was a very old man, with his messy hair and big beard all over the place. His clothes were covered with durable canvas clothes, a sailor's round hat, and a big apron.

When August saw him, he was sitting in the sunny ground beside the store, holding a wooden basin. A pair of thick and thick hands with bulging blue veins, skillfully combined the wooden board and iron sheet one by one, and knocked the wood firmly with a wooden hammer, and turned it into a large wooden basin in a blink of an eye.

This large wooden tub looks like it can be used to bathe children.

After the old man finished his work, he stretched his waist and legs tiredly. He casually buckled the wooden basin on the ground as a table, took out a bottle of rum and a cup on the bottom of the basin, and slowly squinted his eyes and sipped. It seemed that the manager used to be the leader of a sea boat. Ordinary people did not have the habit of drinking rum, and red wine was their choice; while ordinary sailors drank directly at the bottle, and there was no such a big idea.

August hesitated for a long time, but still made up his mind and walked towards the shop with big steps! But the courage came quickly and disappeared quickly... When he was about to walk in front of the old man, his steps were lighter than a kitten and slower than a snail.

Unfortunately, the old man's eyes had already fallen on him, leaving him unable to escape. "August," the old man greeted him with a smile. "When did you get off the boat? I don't know you can stay in Havana?" He looked up and down August, and the old man smiled with relief and looked in the direction he came. When he noticed that no one came back with him, his smile gradually disappeared. "Where is Jacques?"

"Grandpa Freo..." August shouted with difficulty, but he didn't know how to continue. Looking at August's appearance, Freo's heart sank.

"Are Jacques... injured?" With the expectation, the old man Freo asked calmly with a trembling trembling in his voice. In this life, he had never expected his grandson Jacques to be injured. It would be better if he was injured... Even if he lacked arms and legs, August's next performance extinguished his fantasy.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Freo, it's because I didn't take good care of Jacques." August lowered his head and did not dare to see the old man's expression. He was so ashamed that he wanted to die on behalf of Jacques! If Lu Yuan hadn't told him that the big war was about to begin. It would be better to deal with any funerals for you. Then he might still hesitate in Port-au-Prince and dare not notify Jacques' home of the bad news.

After hearing this apology, the old man felt like he was struck by lightning. His body was hunched over and he grew ten years old. Jacques was an illegitimate son. His father and his family were in the upper class in the UK. Jacques was raised by his grandfather.

"I heard that you followed the new captain and made a big name... I was very worried at that time... Last time, you wrote to me that... Jacques was going to the UK to attend military academy..." The old man staggered and almost fell, August helped him and asked the old man Freo to sit down on the chair. "How could this happen..." The old man murmured to himself, his two old big hands covering his face weakly, and tears flowed down from behind his hands.

August looked at the sad old man, his heart was as if he was shattered. He took a deep breath and knelt down on one knee beside the old man. He took off a large backpack and a long flintlock rifle on his back and placed it in front of the old man.

"Grandpa Freo, these are the things left by Jacques..."

August carefully took out the things from his backpack one by one and placed them on the turned-over wooden basin - an old sheathed knife, a black thick-skinned diary, a few clothes to change clothes, a box with a necklace, a short musket, a few beautiful stones, and a few bills for usury shops... Of course, it was deposited, with a total of more than 200,000 pesos!

August didn't know how Lu Yuan got these things from the sunken ship. In fact, in order to pass through the cabin, Lu Yuan almost lost his life to the adjutant's room to pick up Jacques' relics.

The old man Freo stretched out his hand tremblingly and stroked it one by one. First there were the stones, then the old knife. The diary of Jacques soaked and dried by the sea water. The old man hugged it tightly in his arms. When he saw the necklace box, he seemed to sigh... But when he picked up the bill, a huge anger suddenly rose in Freo's eyes!

"What is this?! Is Jacques' money to buy life?! Your captain is so generous! I have hands and feet, and I don't need it!" He was about to pull it off with force!

"Don't!" August quickly grabbed the old man's hand, "This is Jacques' own money! His own money! We... have made a lot of money during this period, and Jacques also said that he would open a larger store for you to live a good life..." This sentence completely destroyed the old man's defense and made him cry.

The crock pot is broken from the well, and the general will inevitably die. The moment Mr. Freo took Jacques, who was abandoned less than one year old, boarded August's father's ship, he was destined to live on the tip of the knife. After August's father was killed, Freo took Jacques to settle in Havana. Later, he became August, who was planning to reorganize his family... but this time it was Jacques' turn.

"Kojac is dead! You are alive!"

An angry female voice came from behind and directly interrupted his words. August was surprised to turn around, and a sharp sword was placed next to his artery, causing him to froze instantly. At this time, he had guessed who the woman he was talking to was, the one Jacques had been living in England. Half-sister August lowered his head and remained silent because she was right...

When he bowed his head regardless, in order not to cut off the artery on his neck, the sword gently moved outward. Then he continued to stop steadily on his neck.

"When did it happen?!" The female voice behind obviously suppressed her anger and asked the question.

"Four...weeks ago." August lowered his head in shame, and began to hate his cowardice and escape. In fact, he was blaming everything on himself. To be precise, four weeks ago, August only knew that Jacques and Lu Yuan were attacked by big octopus together and knew that something had happened to Jacques. At that time, only those who could confirm that Jacques had passed away were those who had the right to issue wanted orders, such as the "Shadow Governor" Aldridge, or the royal families of various countries.

The fact that Jacques' death was truly confirmed was that it happened after seeing Lu Yuan, three days ago.

"Four weeks... I'll only inform you now..." The woman behind her took back her sword, "Why don't you die!" A delicate cowhide boot kicked heavily in his face!

...

Half an hour later, August was beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face, and his clothes were broken, staring at the ground silently, still looking like he was killing and slashing.

Next to him was a young woman wearing a red skirt, with long red hair, and a beautiful appearance as flames. She was panting and pinching her waist, obviously very tired.

However, throughout the process, Old Freo was unaware of anything outside. He was tremblingly organizing Jacques' relics, touching this and looking at that, and crying.

"Bastard! Bastard!" The woman cursed in anger, but looking at August's cowardly look, she couldn't stop beating. No matter what, she knew that Jacques' death was not August's fault. When she was a child, no matter what happened, August always kept Jacques behind him. He kissed Jacques even more than his own sister. "Tell me! What's going on? Also, why didn't your captain, the bastard named 'magic' come?! Jacques sold his life to him, and it's okay to let him show his face!"

"The captain doesn't know that Jacques and his family..." Seeing that the woman in red was about to get angry again, August immediately added, "But he gave me this! He said... this is Jacques' pride!" August took down another backpack on his body, and the woman noticed that the backpack was always protected by August, and even when she was beaten, she was not hurt at all. Although she did not use all her strength, it can be seen that August's strength is much stronger than her now. The woman couldn't help but snort coldly, but was not making things difficult for him.

"Take it out!" The woman in red sorted out her sword, "Let me see what kind of sweet words this guy has, which can make...Jacques feel proud."

August solemnly opened his backpack and took out a huge transparent jar from it. His cautious behavior made the old man Freo turn his attention.

The jar is made of thick glass, with wax and fire paint on it, blocking the gaps in the lid. The jar is filled with transparent liquid, and a round, soaked in it, like a ball of soccer, like an eyeball and an oyster. The woman looked at him in confusion, and August placed the heavy jar on the ground. The woman and the old man Freo looked carefully for a long time before they found that this thing was a bowl-shaped suction cup, and a bowl-shaped suction cup cut from a larger limb!

The old man raised his head in surprise. He was not a rookie who had only been in the sea for a few days, he was an old sea wolf with decades of sailing experience! He could tell at a glance that this suction cup was on the wrist foot of the octopus - but just a suction cup was as big as a human head, with the tentacles with this wrist foot, and how huge that monster should be?!

He continued to watch carefully and found a round lead bullet that penetrated the suction cup in the center of the suction cup. It cut just right, just allowing the lead bullet to expose a small part from behind...

"Kraken!?" Old Master Freo said in a trembling voice. The woman in red was stunned at first, then was shocked! She opened her mouth wide, but couldn't speak at all! "The North Sea, the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea hunters" have been raging in the ocean for a thousand years, and countless sea boats fell under its claws, and everyone's childhood disaster villains...

"Yes..." Auguste nodded, "Norwegian sea monster attacked the 'Maria'. Jacques cooperated with Captain Lu Yuan, and they slaughtered the big octopus, but both the ship and Jacques... Later, Captain Lu Yuan sat on the body of the Norwegian sea monster and was blown to the outside sea by the storm. He only returned to the Caribbean recently."

The Norwegian Sea Monster is dead?!

The woman and Freo were both shocked and...silent. What was shocked was the murder of the Norwegian sea monster. The silent...is because they knew that what August said must be a beautification... If Jacques killed the big octopus, he should have survived. It should be the captain who killed the big octopus and then shared the glory with Jacques.

"Jacques' body..." This is what Freo is concerned about.

"Burning with the ship," August immediately said, he knew what Grandpa Freo was worried about. Jacques' body was not eaten by the big octopus, and he believed what Lu Yuan said. "Captain Lu Yuan personally arranged it after killing Kraken, and according to the captain's specifications." It means using the captain's bed as a coffin and sinking the sea with the ship. This is the highest level.

Seeing the two people changing their attitudes, August immediately recounted in detail. Lu Yuan told him the whole process of killing octopus - Lu Yuan and Jacques fought side by side, restraining Norwegian sea monsters, and no one escaped. After that, the Norwegian sea monster dragged the boat down the deep sea, and Jacques unfortunately died. After Lu Yuan temporarily placed Jacques, he jumped into the mouth of the big octopus and killed the big octopus from the inside...

Of course, Lu Yuan beautified and modified many details when he said it, and then August did this again - for example, in the description, Jacques's role was even more exaggerated, and it was more dramatic to jump into the big octopus' mouth - anyway, it was dead, and no one knew that it had too many teeth to cut shredded potatoes.

The whole process sounds like Jacques completed the previous ninety percent and Lu Yuan made a final kick.

After a long time, Freo picked up the jar with difficulty and walked towards the back of the shop.

"Grandpa Freo?" August stood up at a loss, but the old man Freo just waved his hand behind him. It seemed that he didn't want to see him again for a while.

August felt extremely sad, but he still forced himself to turn around and shouted at the woman, "Cousin Christina." They fought for a while when they were young, and they got along well. However, because of Christina's mother... they were isolated from the news later. He didn't expect to see him here today.

"Hmph!" A woman in red named Christina looked at him coldly, "After receiving your letter, my grandfather and his father were very happy. You know, my father has never been able to give birth to another son, so my mother no longer objected to admitting Jacques' identity. Of course, your fame also played a big role... My father asked me to arrange a place for Jacques in London. I contacted everything in the UK, but I couldn't wait for Jacques for a long time, so I could only come and see... I didn't expect it to be like this! Damn!"

"Sorry, cousin Christina. It's me that I didn't take good care of Jacques!" August lowered his head again. His big man who was two meters long, shrank his hands and feet in front of Christina, looking a little funny.

"It's your business!" Christina said impatiently, "You were not on the boat at that time! And Jacques is not a child anymore. He can take care of himself, and he has his own choice! But... you bastard Captain, take me to see him!"

"What are you going to do?!" August was shocked.

"Let me see what he has the ability to kill Kraken!" Christina raised her brow, "I want to use my brother's blood to forge his own reputation! I want to see if he is qualified!"

"Stop making trouble, aunt..." August held his forehead.

"Hmm?!" Christina glared at her eyes, and her green eyes immediately made August shudder. At this time, something that she tried hard to forget when she was a child seemed to have emerged again... He couldn't help but squeeze his legs.

"It's cousin! Cousin... really, no need to go. Our captain can hit me with one hand..." Hearing this, Christina's eyes lit up suddenly, and August suddenly complained secretly. Why did I forget Christina's competitive temperament again?

But before he could continue to explain, with a "clang", Christina's sword was put on his neck again. She looked at him with a sneer and said softly. "Do you want to resist me? Dear Aug... I didn't expect that when you grow up, you will become very masculine."
