"Captain, this rookie does not want to pay his debts! I propose to throw him overboard and distribute his salary with the rest of the comrades on board!!!"

Ricardo, who already had trembling legs from what had just happened, hearing Ron's proposal, almost fainted, but mustering up some courage and looking into his captain's eyes, he said

"Ron cheated !! His dice are loaded, it's not fair that he has to pay a cheater and to top it off he almost blinded me !!"

"Captain Wiliam we cannot have someone so untrustworthy on board, at any moment this bastard is going to end up losing his mind and killing us all, I propose to throw him overboard and distribute his salary with the rest of the comrades on board !!!"

Wiliam looked attentively at these two unfortunates that he had in front of him and with some weariness he said

"I had just finished writing what happened this week in the logbook and I decided to look for some wine in the hold to be able to celebrate another week without incident on board, I already thought we were too lucky"

"5 months without incident in this sea of ​​shit!!!"

"But obviously the Great whore of Tusha had to screw me up for the week, and instead of giving me a good wine to celebrate it, she gave me two drunks almost killing each other for some measly caps"

Hearing 'measly caps' Ron reacted quickly and said almost interrupting his captain

"Measly caps and hell, the good cabin boy owes me no more and no less than 500 caps"

Wiliam, hearing the figure, hit his head with the palm of his hand and while his hand slid over his face he said with a very tired voice

"But how can you be such an idiot, Ricardo"

"What kind of wretch gambles all of his first salary as a sailor on the dice.... and to top it all off, we haven't even touched port yet...."

Ricardo, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, quickly answered

"But captain, that bastard Ron cheated."

"Not even being a priest of the Goddess of the sea is he lucky enough to win 4 rounds in a row"

Wiliam looked at Ron with some complicity, and somewhat embarrassed asked him surreptitiously as he played

*Coff*...*Coff*..."you haven't used “those” dice on the boy, right, Ron?"...*Coff*....

Ron with a stone face, as if he had no doubts answered

"But of course I wouldn't use" those "dice on the rookie, I swear on my grandma!!!..." Ron said as he finished staring at his captain, "or do you think I'm a man without principles? "

Wiliam was stunned, if he didn't know this cunning old rat he would really believe the words of this wretch, but there are too many ports that have arrived together, and the anecdotes become more and more bizarre as the gray hair grows.

If there had been fewer plates I could have really let it go, after all the rookie needs some “experience” about how things work on board a ship, but all his first salary was somewhat exaggerated, so with some wit proposed to Ron

"Let's see then my first officer, what if you swear by Galleon the God of sea beasts that you didn't use loaded dice"
