Bab 176: Pincer Movement

Once the helmsman was gone, Hutcheson spoke again.

"I'm afraid I can't accept this deal. What am I supposed to tell my crew later? Am I supposed to tell them that the other two ships received the same amount of loot, but we are the only one receiving less?"

"This has nothing to do with the captain's prowess? Amongst the three ships, you guys are the weakest one amongst the three pirate ships. If your crew is wise enough, they should know that this deal makes perfect sense," said Black Prince Sam.

"Hmph! If thye were wise enough in the first place, they would never have chosen the pirate's life then. Please, the two of you are captains as well. You know that these shoes are hard to fill as well. I'm fine with the deal, but I can't accept it just like that. Otherwise, my crew would think I'm weak. They'd kick me off the ship even before I return home!"
