"Whew. ”

Graves was punched in the face again, and then fell heavily to Planck's deck. Pig iron handcuffs were snuffed into his wrists.

He was lifted by the clamped arm and knelt beside Trist. A pockmarked pirate stopped me from lying down.

Slowly opening his purple eyes, the muscular strong man in front of Graves was like a layer of frosted glass, close and far, but he knew that this was just a foreplay compared to what he would encounter later.

"Come on again, are you kid going to beat people?"

Graves said with a wide tongue.

But the pirate in front of him seemed unmoved, and instead looked at Planck on the side.

The Pirate King's head nodded.

Bang!

Graves didn't even see the pirate in front of him, and lay on his back on the ground.

Severe pain explodes in all joints of the body.

At this moment, Graves had to admit...... The guy in front of him does have some experience with beating people.

As if he had been satisfied with the simple 'punching of the punching bag', Planck waved his hand and asked the people on both sides to 'lift' Graves up as if he were a dead fish.

Graves forced a smile

"Little cub, my mother is stronger than you. And she died five years ago. ”

"Well, you're a motherless wild boy, I already knew it, don't try to provoke me. ”

Planck said as he peeled oranges.

"That's not right...... I'm angry by now, but alas, I don't have much time left to torment you because something is wrong. ”

Graves' body shook uncontrollably, and his eyes were dazed, but he still tried to focus on Planck. It took a while to barely see that Planck had the dagger Trist wanted hanging from his belt.

"Trist, right? I've heard you're fast, and I've always looked down on quick thieves. ”

Planck approached Trist, looked at him and said, "But you shouldn't be stupid enough to steal my things." He crouched down and turned his head to look Graves in the eye.

"And you, if you had a little bigger brain, you would have had a chance to work for me. But now it's impossible. ”

He stood up and turned his back.

"I'm not an unreasonable person, and I don't force people to grovel before me. All I want is a small amount of respect. But you two dare to ride on my neck and. Unforgivable. ”

When Planck's men heard this, they began to gather around, like a pack of hungry hyenas waiting for a feast.

It seems that this time it is really in danger.

Graves thought and shook his head.

"Do me a favor,"

He pouted in Trist's direction

"Kill him first. ”

Planck scoffed.

He nodded to one of the crew members, and the kid ran to the side.

The ship's bell rang.

Originally, it was a death knell that would only be sounded before the start of a string battle or the start of plundering, but on special occasions, it could also be used to gather the people of Bilgewater, after all, only Planck was qualified to ring the bell in the central square of Bilgewater.

After a while, more than a dozen bells in the city rang in turn. Drunkards, sailors, traders...... Many people, attracted by the commotion, poured into the streets.

Everyone understood that Planck wanted to establish his authority.

Killing chickens to show monkeys is a very simple but effective method.

"The whole city is watching you both, it's time. ”

Planck ordered his men loudly

"Bring the Daughter of Death!"

There was a cheer on board, and the pirates stomped the deck to rumble.

After a while, an old gun was rolled out. Although the cannon body is covered with patina, I have to admit that in the eyes of any person in Bilgewater, this is a beauty.

Graves is certainly no exception.

He glanced at Trist, who hung his head and said nothing.

The pirates searched for all his cards, and none of them were lost. And his stupid hat with all the bells and whistles, and one of the scoundrels of the pirate group Tian shamelessly put on his head.

Graves has known Trist for so many years, and he always leaves a way back for himself. But here and now, helpless, he was defeated.

Very good.

"You deserve it, dog mongrel. Graves roared.

Trist looked up, his eyes no longer had their usual demeanor, and only anger was left in them.

"I don't want things to be like that, either"

"You left me and left me to rot in prison!"

Before Trist could finish, Graves interrupted him.

"My people and I tried to get you out, and they all died!"

Trist quickly fired back.

"Curt, Wallach, and Brick, there's not one left, it's all to save you!

"But you're alive. Have you ever thought about why? Because you're a coward, yes, even if you have a pretty excuse, it's useless. ”

Graves' words struck Trist so deeply in the heart that he stopped pleading, and the last vestiges of fighting spirit dissipated, and his shoulders collapsed weakly, and he was completely finished.

Although Trist's acting skills are first-class on weekdays, now, everyone doesn't think that he is pretending to be now.

At this time, a sense of powerlessness welled up in Graves's heart, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered a glass of wine he had drunk at the bar the other day.

Strong acidity and bitterness.

That's right.

There was no imaginary thrill of revenge, and now there was only bitterness in Graves' mouth.

Does this mean that he forgave Trist?

He didn't think so.

Is his life just to bury him?

"They're going to hell anyway, so I'll find out to you. ”

Trist said.

"We've really done everything we can to save you, believe it or not. ”

"Huh...... I hope you don't go to hell for lying. ”

For some reason, Graves laughed.

Not just because of the laughter that is about to take revenge, but because of the laughter that seems to be relieved.

Truth be told, Trist once said that if you do it yourself, you will only do everything to the worst.

Graves didn't believe it before, but now he can't argue with it.

To the present end, it was caused by himself.

Maybe if he really stopped at that time, he would have been able to escape alive according to Trist's plan, just like when he was younger.

"Okay, I hope you're done talking about, and I'm happy if you let go of your old suspicions. ”

Planck stepped forward and said to the two with a smile.

By this time, the pirates on the side had already brought a thick iron chain and wrapped it around the huge cannon.

Graves knew what Planck was trying to do.

Crash.

The two pirates grabbed them by the feet, turned their heads down, and dragged them to the cannon.
