It\u2019s different. We help the pirates, not the mob. Then the pirates feed us, clothe us and give us somewhere to sleep.

But he\u2019s so inept that even the pirates don\u2019t like him. Nobody wants him on their ship, so he\u2019s spent most of his time locked up in \u201cThe Asylum\u201d. It\u2019s not actually an asylum, it\u2019s the nickname for the stone warehouse on the dockside where the pirates keep the newcomers and the trouble makers.<\/p>\n<p>TallyBen keeps tabs on all the newcomers and he has MickeyWarr earmarked for the next Conwy raid. Like all the new faces, the first test of his worth is normally an interception on the Conwy Douglas route. TallyBen uses that to grade the newcomers and work out which ship to assign them to on a permanent basis.<\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slenderwolf.com\/novels\/2026\/03\/30\/chapter-9-red-in-the-face071\/\">Previous<\/a> &#8211; Book1 Page73 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slenderwolf.com\/novels\/2026\/04\/01\/chapter-10-bronze-silver-and-gold074\/\">Next<\/a><\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previous &#8211; Book1 Page73 \u2013 Next Chapter 10 Bronze Silver and Gold \u201cWomen are nothing but trouble,\u201d says SpudGunn, \u201cyou don\u2019t see many of them here do you?
