Chapter 124 Green Pirates
Chapter 124 Green Pirates
Speaking of which, compared with ordinary merchant ships, many pirate ships have a characteristic, that is, the length-to-width ratio is slightly higher, and the ship shape is more narrow and elongated. This often makes the speed much faster than bulky merchant ships, which is more convenient for pirates. They plundered the ship.
And this pirate ship hanging far behind the Drummond family caravan undoubtedly took this point to the extreme. However, as the sensitivity becomes higher, the number of people on the ship will undoubtedly be reduced a lot. For example, at this moment, there are only twenty or thirty pirates outside the cabin, but the deck is almost full...
"Captain Green! The caravan in front has started to slow down. What should we do? Should we slow down too?"
On the observation tower, a tall and thin man wearing a blue turban looked ahead for a while, then shouted to the deck below and asked.
"Nonsense, of course you have to slow down, otherwise what if you are discovered in advance?!" The person who replied was a sturdy bald man with a giant ax on his waist and a bullet scar on his face, with an unusual appearance. He was fierce. At this moment, he raised his head and roared: "Are you a pig? You want to ask me about such a simple matter?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, Captain!" The tall and thin man apologized hurriedly and retracted his neck in fright.
The bald man then retracted his gaze with a cold snort. He looked at the fleet far ahead and said bitterly: "Damn it, after all, I was also a famous pirate in the South China Sea. If I hadn't had bad luck this year, , there is no need to go to such trouble to deal with a caravan!"
The subordinates nearby looked at each other in confusion when they heard this, and did not dare to speak casually. Only a man with a mustache wearing a monocle standing nearest, after hesitating for a moment, reluctantly comforted him: "Boss Green, this is Isn't there nothing we can do about it? Those two boys are too perverted, and the guy leading them is even more of a monster. It's normal that we can't defeat them."
"Huh?" After hearing this, the bald man's face became even more ugly. He stared at the mustache with squinted eyes and said almost word by word: "You mean... I can't beat those two boys, so Did you just escape to the Grand Line..."
"No, no, Boss Green, you misunderstood!"
The bald man's eyes were terrifyingly cold, and his mustache almost made him wet his pants. He shook his hand hurriedly and said, "That's not what I meant. Isn't this the enemy's secret and our openness? There are only two people on the other side, and we actually have five ships." The large fleet of ships, haven’t they been attacked by them all the time, causing heavy losses... That, that word, how do you say it..."
Under the cold gaze, Mustache scratched his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly his eyes lit up, he slapped his palm and said: "By the way, it's a strategic shift!"
"..."
The bald man stared at him coldly for a while, and then showed an expression that meant he knew what he meant. But even so, he still noticed that the atmosphere on the ship was a bit awkward, and he even always felt that in the past few days, his subordinates were looking at him. The look in his eyes seemed to contain much less awe than before.
And all of this started a few months ago.
The bald man named Green, nicknamed "Blood Axe", is one of the few pirates in the South China Sea with a bounty of over 10 million. The Green pirate group he leads has five ships and a total of six to seven hundred people. The sea area where there are regular activities can be said to be the absolute overlord.
Just half a year ago, after Green led his men to plunder a small town on an island, they carried out a bloodbath and massacre as usual, but nothing happened.
Be careful and let the two little kids hiding in the forest escape. Since the two little guys looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, he and his subordinates didn't take it seriously.
However, two months later, when Green had almost forgotten about it, a bloody revenge action came like a nightmare...
First, a ship he sent to rob merchant ships was attacked, and more than a hundred people on the ship died. Then his deputy captain, who went to land to drink and have fun, was chopped into several pieces. When Green gathered all his subordinates together in panic, the other party came to the door without fear. Only then did he realize that the two teenagers who had escaped before were the ones who had secretly attacked him.
The enemy was extremely jealous at the sight, and Green immediately roared and ordered his men to swarm forward, trying to kill these two little bastards as quickly as possible and avenge the killing of his subordinates.
As a result... the direction of the battle shocked Greene. He never expected that the boy in charge would become a Devil Fruit user through some shitty luck, and he was quite powerful. The ability can easily attract the Green Pirates' weapons and turn them around to deal with them.
As a result, the Green Pirates almost collapsed at the first touch, and more than half of them were killed or injured in a short time. Green was almost scared to death, and he didn't even care about his flagship. He fled with a group of subordinates on a speedboat, and then hid here and there. Escaped, forced to have no choice, Gou jumped over the wall and chose to climb the upside down mountain. Only then did he escape the pursuit after all the hardships.
The danger was gone, but the number of pirates had also shrunk sharply, and there were only about thirty people including a few cadres. So Green sadly found that he seemed to be one of the pirates who had entered the Grand Line in history. The fattest one... Even if all the wealth is lost, if you want to rob a caravan for supplies, you have to think about it for a long time...
For example, the one they were following now came down from the Upside Down Mountain Waterway a few minutes earlier than them, and Green, who was already in a hungry wolf state, immediately focused on it. However, judging from the scale alone, the number of the opponent's guards was definitely not small, and with the rows of artillery exposed outside, although it was embarrassing, Green still gave the order to follow the opponent first, and then wait for the opponent to disperse before waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Just wait, it's just a caravan..."
Under the gaze of everyone on the deck, the bald man licked the corners of his mouth, and a hint of ferocity appeared in his narrowed eyes, "As long as there is no such a big advantage in numbers, I will let you know what it means to be desperate..."
........................
Compared with the East China Sea, the climate of the Grand Line can be described as unpredictable. One second it was clear and the sky was clear, and the next moment it was pouring rain. Sometimes I was happy to hold out my palms just because of the falling crystal white snow. He came, but within three seconds he was holding his arm that was swollen by the hail and was throbbing in pain.
Many sailors with weak constitutions contracted diseases under this level of torture. Even veteran drivers like Xia Nuo almost overturned their cars. Speaking of which, it was probably because they were addicted to squatting in the logbook while squatting in the toilet on the second floor in the evening. My legs were numb, and then the strong wind and rain suddenly broke through the window and I almost fell into a pit...
Naturally, there are some discomforts, but time at sea always passes so quietly that it is difficult to notice. Just when Schiano fully understood why so many people from all over the world died in the climate of the Grand Route, four days passed in the blink of an eye, and under the early morning light, the caravan’s destination was among the seven starting point islands of the route. The Duru Island finally showed its outline on the horizon in the distance.
