The Black Pirates

CH. 69 – Past Chapters: Lauma Village

After the departure of Captain Atlana, Akma Jaya looked towards Tabra and Aisha who were silent, unable to dwell.

"Both of you, the problem of previous events, do not you think, of what has happened, that is what is called the wheel of life, someday, those moments arrive, Captain Kaiza will receive a fair reply, we will attack their base." Akma Jaya walked over to the two.

"All right, Captain!" tabra smiled.

After that, Akma Jaya held negotiations with Tabra and Aisha. The three of them were talking about Captain Kaiza's base.

They discussed all of that while standing looking at each other, looking at each other full of conversation.

"What do you think?"

"Are we going to do it now? Are we sailing off to Captain Kaiza's base?" Akma Jaya asked a simple question.

Tabra shook her head, Aisha was the same.

"Captain, I don't have the ability, even to face Captain Atlana alone, I don't have the ability and courage, especially Captain Kaiza, who holds the first title in the Seven-storey Pillar."

Tabra explained the reasons, giving a logical picture of Captain Kaiza's strength, while to face Captain Atlana they were already frightened, effortless and mentally, both of them should be balanced. Akma Jaya nodded her head, she accepted the reason outlined by Tabra.

"Yes, Captain. I feel that way too!" Aisha said a little imitating Tabra's reasoning.

"Oh, okay. I've been planning and now I've decided to continue our journey to Lauma Village!" Akma Jaya describes the plan.

"Lauma Village?"

"Captain, what about the torture chamber we want to see?" Tabra spoke with her right hand pointing upwards.

"That room, we don't seem to have to look at, what's inside, is obviously pretty awful!"

"Better, we dilute the atmosphere by enjoying the cruise."

Akma Jaya explained the reason, choosing to leave Buana Village, when the atmosphere was not possible, especially some of the men had experienced fear, Akma Jaya looked at them attentively.

"Maybe, next time, if you want to, wait a minute, we'll sail again to this village, what more people are talking about we already know, most of the rumors that are circulating, we'll sail again, some are true, like the pirate who rules the Daulisa Region, he's named Captain Ranjaya, we've defeated him, like a garden of carrots, we've harvested it."

"And some other things, like the crystal I gave Captain Atlana."

Tabra nodded slowly, Aisha did too, they both nodded.

"alright, Captain. I agree with what you said!" Tabra said he accepted the reason given by Akma Jaya.

Aisha prepares with Tabra and the men who previously ran away, they return to their original place, facing Akma Jaya, after hearing the defeat of Captain Atlana.

They all entered the ship and sailed towards Lauma Village.

***

Lauma Village is located not far from Buana Village, it is located between two islands and if penetrated, the cruise does not take much, only approximately two hours. If the wind blows strong, only take half an hour cruise to Lauma Village.

Lauma Village is like Buana Village, not sandy, but brownish-colored land because the village is still in the Daulisa Regional area.

During the voyage, Akma Jaya treated the wounds that were all over her body, Aisha helped, treating the wounds on Akma Jaya's back, although the wounds were not too deep, only in the form of scratches, however, the wound was, the wound was bleeding a lot.

After treating the wounds, they arrived at Lauma Village, a village that has residents dressed in sepals and hair that is disheveled, like people who are not maintained.

Akma Jaya stopped by and settled in one of the housing, she stayed there, they all rested in the housing.

However, in contrast to Tabra, only he was alone who had a deep curiosity about the Lauma Village area, he walked down every street, until he looked at the market that was not crowded.

In the middle of the market, there was one of the old geezers, he was selling various antiques, the old geezer was still strongly shouting to attract buyers, a loud shout.

"This is a 101st-century Pirate hat, a fierce pirate, he's a big and strong manly man!"

"This hat is so rare, bought, bought!"

As a result of the mouth that did not stop, some people approached, but unfortunately of them no one bought, just silently watching like watching a magic show.

From a distance, Tabra watched in detail. He lingered, unsaturated looking at the people and the old man who was selling.

Tabra walked up to the old man after lingering in the distance.

Tabra stood watching the old geezer clamoring to introduce the history of the antique.

The old man took one of the maps.

"This is a treasure map, an antique object that is very difficult to obtain, it is said that a sailing ship, he was stranded on the island with a lot of treasure, he said, until he decided to put his treasure on the island, he drew this map himself with the skills of a pirate captain!"

The old grandfather explained at length, looking unrelenting, mouth speaking, his breath still blowing.

Tabra nodded in amazement, she finally asked the price of the map. Then, buy at a price that has been set by the grandfather.

He rushed to the inn to convey the matter to Akma Jaya.

Meanwhile, Akma Jaya was talking with one of the villagers, discussing the village of Lauma, about the simple question of why some people look like they are clad in their moustache and their hair is ruffled, unmaintained.

"In this village, there is no ruler who regulates the economy, so it makes it difficult for people to regulate prices as they look, prices are arbitrarily raised, no one regulates everything!"

"I once lived at the age of ten, when this village was led by a man named Yarawi, a very fair leader, he managed the people's economy so wisely, he said, mingling shows the attitude of a leader whom we see as kind and generous, when there are people in distress, he reaches out, giving the staple of their needs."

"However, some time after that, he breathed his last, making the people grieve, the shades of sorrow covered in tears, days, months, that's when the people's economy in this village was unstable, gradually, the more days, the more days passed, until now they had difficulty determining the price of the goods they bought in other regions and selling them to this village, he said, of them there are self-serving merchants."

Akma Jaya listened, listening to what the person said.

"When the economy of this village is unstable, the merchants raise prices as they please, some small people as you can see, they are forced to buy their basic necessities, even though they are very expensive."

"They couldn't protest it, just resigned themselves because no one was leading this village."

"They're little people, working to make ends meet, a handful of rice to prop up the stomach, while for other things, like clothes, they don't think about it, just busy struggling about the essentials."

Akma Jaya nodded slowly, every time the person spoke, from the beginning they met, Akma Jaya did not ask for names, only asked about the people who wore seedy clothes, he said, but it was unexpected that the person explained at length, making Akma Jaya sit still while nodding, listening to what the person explained.

"What's your name?" Akma Jaya said the question sentence, after the person paused for a moment to catch his breath, a long explanation left him almost out of breath.

"Adfain, people used to call me by the name of fain!" answer Adfain introduced the name along with his nickname.

Akma Jaya smiled.

"Alright, Adfain. Since I don't want to cut someone's name, then I'd better call you Adfain, it's not too long, why would I cut it?" Akma Jaya jokingly looked at Adfain full of laughter.

"Ah, then, keep telling me about this village!" Akma Jaya continued the remark, telling Adfain to tell her.

"Well, I will continue to tell you about this village!" Adfain began to catch his breath to retell it.

However, suddenly Tabra came to surprise them with a shout that sounded as bright as in the ear hole.

Automatically, Adfain was glued in silence, he did not so tell it because the arrival of Tabra who spoke out loud wanted to tell about the objects he got while in the market.
