Chapter 106 Refusal

"Get on the boat?" Jesus said, holding his glass, thinking of the rumors in the village.

Hearing this, Bancina also put down the spoon in her hand and looked at William with a complicated expression.

"You've probably heard of it, I'm the captain of a pirate group," William asked, "Morgan pirates, I don't know if you've heard of it." ”

"You're the captain of the Morgan Pirates?" Jesus was stunned.

"I've heard of some of your deeds, not only do you not plunder civilians, but sometimes you wrap supplies in pirate flags and put them on the docks and give them to villages and towns that have been sacked by other pirates," Jesus said with a serious face as he put down his glass and said in a respectful voice, "I admire what you have done. ”

William has always paid great attention to publicity, and the spread of this deed, in addition to the reason of being maverick, is also because the trading company presided over by Sherlock took the opportunity to promote it on different occasions.

William said: "Since you have heard of us, you should also know that we are different from other pirates, those waste pirates who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard, the target is the weak, and our target is the counterparts who do evil, they only recruit some waste crews, but I ......am different."

Jesus Bu was amused by William's caustic evaluation, but when he saw William talking, he suddenly pointed at him and said: "As long as I have good hands on my ship, in addition, the new pistols used in this competition are also developed by my company. ”

It is a happy thing to be valued, especially since the other party is the leader of the Morgan Pirates, a righteous thief organization that has recently become famous among the people of the East China Sea, as for the identity of the pirates, it is nothing to a person like Jesus, he grinned and wanted to say something, but he caught a glimpse of his wife Bancina and son Usopp looking at him in unison, and the smile slowly faded, and fell into silence, until a moment later he said: "I'm sorry, I still have a wife and children at home, I can't leave them alone." ”

"On my ship, the crew's family is also my family, and even if you are willing to leave them alone, I, as the captain, will not allow you to do so," William said with a chuckle, but when he saw that Jesusb still did not respond, he changed his words, "and as long as I have a breath of air, I will not ignore the crew's family, so if you are afraid of danger, ......." ”

"I am not afraid of danger!" said Jesusb flatly.

William is the owner of the Four Seas Trading Company, the leader of a well-known pirate group in the East China Sea, but since entering the door of Jesus Bu's house, he has always behaved very politely and modestly, although Jesus Bu is informal, and he is also proud of his shooting talent, but he also understands that he is now just an ordinary farmer, and his status is not far from William.

William treated him with such courtesy and respect that Jesus did not want to be considered a coward by William.

It's just that there is no basis for his words, and Edmund naturally doesn't believe it, so he sneers disdainfully.

"I said the wrong thing," William said to Jesus, glancing at Bancina and Usopp, patting Edmund on the shoulder, and smiling at Jesus, "It's not that you're afraid of danger, but you have something more important to guard, I understand, so we'll not talk about it." ”

William then stopped talking about inviting Jesus to the ship, and although Danbier tried to invite Jesus to work in his weapons company "on his own initiative", only to participate in weapon data collection and not to be a pirate, William diverted the topic.

Although the food was not sumptuous, and the drink was only the inferior wine brewed in the country, the guests and hosts were still happy, and William told the young Usopp about what he had seen and heard at sea, about the strange environment of the windless zone, about the primitive tribes on the island, about the slaves of the kingdom on the bridge, and how they saved the villages and towns from the other raging pirates.

Usopp was so excited that he didn't even listen to Bancina to coax him to sleep, pestering William to make a big noise about wanting to join the Morgan Pirates and save the civilians of the East China Sea.

"When you have ambition, that's how a man should be," said William, picking up Usopp and putting him on his lap, "When you grow up and become a great man like your father, I will invite you aboard." ”

"Words count!" Usopp asked suspiciously, knowing that William was not trying to fool him.

"I never joke about inviting people on board, but remember, I'm talking about being a great man like your father before I invite you aboard," William said meaningfully, and then took from his neck the silver necklace that the chief of the village he had saved, gave him a silver necklace, and brought it to Usopp's neck, "When you become a man, come to me with this necklace, and I will definitely let you on board." ”

Bancina stopped talking, but Jesus said directly: "This chain seems too valuable, not to mention that Usopp is just a child, you don't have to be so serious." ”

Usopp glared at Jesus angrily, and William chuckled when he saw this, and scratched Usopp's nose: "What's wrong with children, children can also have big ambitions." ”

Usopp was eventually dragged to sleep by Bancina, and the remaining men, mainly William and Jesus, chatted for a while, until Edmund couldn't help but yawn, and William ignored Jesusbou's retention and left with Danbiel, Sherlock, Edmund and others.

William did not speak again since the invitation was rejected by Jesus Bu, Jesus Bu thought that when he left, William would invite again, but William really believed in his words, only said that he would find Jesus Bu to drink again when he had time in the future, and never mentioned the matter of inviting him on the boat again, which made Jesus Bu feel both relieved and a little lost.

William knew that Jesus Bu was definitely not an ordinary person, and it can be seen from the yearning on Jesus' face when he told Usopp that the reason why Jesus Bu did not agree to get on the boat was nothing more than the constraints of family, and it can be seen that Jesus Bu and Bancina are very affectionate.

Although the Morgan Pirates are temporarily based in the East China Sea, the time of sailing on the sea is often indefinite, and the voyage of the pirates is erratic, especially when Jesus Bu can't bear to get on the ship alone, but leaves the whole family and young son to the weak Bancina to support.

……

Jesus saw William and the others go away, and stood in front of the door for a long time without moving.

He actually wanted to say yes to William.

Eight years ago, Shanks had come to invite him on board, but he refused, because he couldn't harden his heart and leave Bancina, who loved him deeply, alone, at least he hoped to have a child with Bancina, so that Bancina would not feel lonely after he was gone.

But after Usopp was born, he was worried that it would be too cruel to throw Usopp to Bancina and let Bancina support the family alone.

The family, who had firmly bound Jesus cloth to such a remote village that even the pirates did not bother to visit, was so tight that Jesus cloth almost felt breathless, and he sometimes really wanted to abandon everything, so he left in a chic manner without looking back, not thinking about whether young Usopp could become a man without his father's teachings, and not thinking about how hard it would be for Bancina to run the household alone.

Jesus Bu finally sighed, and turned back to the house in some disappointment, only to see Bancina standing in the living room, holding a cup of hot tea for decanting, looking at him gently.
