Chapter 7

Chapter 7 "This is not going to end well," Lucas said with a frown as he looked at Princess Pulverizer and Dribble. His voice sounded remarkably brave, all things considered. Princess Pulverizer was amazed at the power of the lion charm. But Dribble didn't have a charm to help him be brave. "Okay, Princess Pulverizer, what's

“这事不会有好结果的。”卢卡斯皱着眉头看着粉粉公主和运球说。 总的来说，他的声音听起来非常勇敢。 粉碎机公主对狮子的魔力感到惊讶。 但是运球没有魔法来帮助他变得勇敢。 “好吧，粉碎机公主，这是……

the plan?" he asked nervously. "Plan?" the princess repeated. "Don't you always have a plan?" the dragon asked. "Usually," she agreed glumly. "But this..." At just that moment, Cap'n Bobbie strode onto the deck. Unlike the princess and her friends, she was in a jolly mood. Parry the parrot was perched on her shoulder. "Yo-ho-ho, me hearties!" Cap'n Bobbie greeted her crew. "What a day. First I spot that island with the sunken treasure. Now I'm sending two prisoners into shark-infested waters." She rubbed her hands together gleefully. "I do love a good plank-walkin'." "Rawk. Walk the plank," Parry added. "Argh! Let's get this over with," Cap'n Bobbie announced. "Prisoners, to the plank with ye." Princess Pulverizer's heart began to race. She had to do something, quickly.

计划？”他紧张地问。 “计划？”公爵小姐重复了一遍。 “你不是一直都有计划吗？”龙问道。 “通常，”她闷闷不乐地表示同意。 “但这……”就在这时，博比船长大步走上甲板。 不像公主和她的朋友们，她心情愉快。 鹦鹉停在她的肩膀上。 “嗬嗬嗬，亲爱的！”博比船长向她的船员打招呼。 “多糟糕的一天啊。首先我发现了那个有沉没宝藏的岛。 现在我要把两个囚犯送到鲨鱼出没的水域。” 她高兴地搓着手。 “我真的很喜欢平板支撑。” ”——。走跳板，”帕里补充道。 “啊!让我们把这事了结吧，”博比船长宣布。 “囚犯们，跟你们一起到甲板上去。” 粉碎机公主的心开始狂跳。 她必须尽快做点什么。

"No!" she shouted. The word was out of her mouth before she could stop it. Everyone on the ship stared at her. "What did you say?" The captain angrily raised her argument-ender. The sword glimmered in the sunlight. Suddenly, Princess Pulverizer had an idea. "I challenge you to a duel!" she exclaimed. Cap'n Bobbie started laughing. "Good joke." "I'm not joking." Princess Pulverizer's heart was really pounding now. But she stood her ground, remembering what her father's knights always said—never let your enemies see you sweat. "What's she doing?" Lucas whispered to Dribble. Dribble shook his head. "I don't know," he admitted. The princess knew exactly what she was doing. Or at least she hoped she did. "I challenge you to a duel," she insisted. "If I

“不！”她喊道。话还没说完，她就脱口而出了。 船上的每个人都盯着她。 “你说什么？”船长生气地提出了她的论点。 剑在阳光下闪闪发光。 突然，粉碎机公主有了一个主意。 “我向你挑战决斗！”她喊道。 博比船长笑了起来。 “好笑话。”“我不是在开玩笑。” 粉碎机公主的心怦怦直跳。 但她坚持自己的立场，牢记父亲的骑士们常说的话——永远不要让敌人看到你流汗。 “她在干什么？”卢卡斯小声对运球说。 运球摇了摇头。“我不知道，”他承认。 公主很清楚自己在做什么。 或者至少她希望是这样。 “我向你挑战决斗，”她坚持说。 “如果我

win, you let my friends go free. If you win, we all walk the plank." "She's finally cracked," Dribble said. The captain agreed. "Yer out of yer mind. I've made mincemeat out of much more skilled swordswomen than ye. Yer a nobody." How insulting! "I'm not a nobody!" Princess Pulverizer shouted back. "I've beaten my share of enemies, too!" "I take it back," Cap'n Bobbie replied. Princess Pulverizer smiled. "Yer a foolish nobody!" the captain corrected herself. "And yer about to see what happens to anyone who challenges Cap'n Bobbie!" Princess Pulverizer bit her lip nervously. Cap'n Bobbie could be possibly the meanest, most dangerous foe she'd ever faced. And that was saying something, considering she'd already defeated a giant monster made entirely of stinky cheese, an army of giant

赢，你放了我的朋友。 如果你赢了，我们都走跳板。” “她终于崩溃了。” 船长同意了。“你疯了。 我把比你厉害得多的女剑士打成了肉泥。 你是个无名小卒。”怎么侮辱!“我不是小人物！”粉碎机公主喊道。 “我也打败过我的敌人！”“我收回，”博比船长回答。 粉碎机公主笑了。 “你这个愚蠢的小人物！”船长纠正自己。 “我要看看挑战博比船长的人会有什么下场！”粉碎机公主紧张地咬着嘴唇。 博比船长可能是她所遇到过的最凶恶、最危险的敌人。 考虑到她已经打败了一个完全由臭奶酪制成的巨型怪物，一支巨人军队，这就说明了一些问题

underground moles, and an overgrown hairy ogre. But this was a gamble she had to take. Somebody had to defeat Cap'n Bobbie. And of all of them, Princess Pulverizer was the best one to do it. That wasn't bragging. It was just a fact. Lucas had learned how to duel in Knight School, but he hadn't been very successful. Not to mention that he was smaller than Princess Pulverizer, with short stubby legs. That put him at a disadvantage when it came to taking quick strides in a duel. Dribble was bigger than either of them. He could seem scary—especially when he opened his huge snout and flared his wings out to the sides. Those wings seemed to be getting bigger every day! But there was a difference between seeming scary and being able to single-handedly win a battle against a stronger enemy. That left only Princess Pulverizer.

地下的鼹鼠，还有一个长满毛的食人魔。 但这是一场她必须承担的赌博。 总得有人打败博比船长。 在所有人中，粉碎机公主是最合适的人选。 这不是吹牛。这只是一个事实。 卢卡斯在骑士学校学会了如何决斗，但他并不是很成功。 更不用说他比粉碎机公主还小，腿又短又粗。 这使他在决斗中快速迈步时处于不利地位。 运球比他们俩都大。 它可能看起来很可怕——尤其是当它张开巨大的鼻子，向两侧扇动翅膀的时候。 那些翅膀似乎一天比一天大！但是看起来很可怕和能够单枪匹马战胜更强大的敌人是有区别的。 只剩下粉碎机公主了。

"Argh!" Cap'n Bobbie exclaimed, slicing the air rapidly with her argument-ender. "Let's get this going." Gulp. Cap'n Bobbie obviously knew her way around a blade. And Princess Pulverizer had never had a single fencing lesson. So, just in case she didn't win, the princess had already cooked up a plan.

“啊!”博比船长大声说，一边用她的辩手迅速地在空中划来划去。 “让我们开始吧。”饮而尽。 博比船长显然很会用刀。 粉碎机公主从来没上过击剑课。 所以，为了防止她没有赢，公主已经制定了一个计划。
