Chapter 63: The Beginning of the Great War

The only bit of luck that Chloe still holds in his heart is that he tells Barbarossa everything and exposes Stolt's true colors. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's just that Chloe's thought just came to an eye when he was shattered by William.

"You may fantasize that you will save yourself from death by telling Barbarossa everything here," William grinned as if he felt amused, "what are you going to tell Barbarossa? That stunned young crew member is a conspirator? Which is more credible than your claim of revenge? and most importantly, the whole ship knows that we have a bad relationship, even worse than you have with the rest of the crew, and that any slander you make against me will not be believed." ”

"And if Barbarossa, because of that slightest suspicion, chooses to kill me, then why do you believe that he will let you go who are more suspicious?" William slapped Chloe's sluggish face, "I 'may' die, but you, 'definitely' die!"

Chloe's face was dead, but he hadn't completely given up hope, he still looked at William, he did have some brains, and knew that William had told him so much, it must be more than just wanting him to die.

"What do you want to do?" Chloe asked with difficulty.

"As I said, we are grasshoppers on a rope now," said William, "and there are only two paths before you, life or death." ”

"As long as Barbarossa is alive, he will definitely pursue it, and you will always have to worry about your own life, but as long as he is dead, ....... ”

Chloe's eyes widened: "You're going to kill Barbarossa?"

William smiled and didn't answer directly, he patted Chloe on the shoulder affectionately, and his tone was a little demagoguery: "If we are only satisfied with the status quo, then we will only be a small person for the rest of our lives, your small life, your future, all of them can't withstand the words of the big man, a guy whose mind and strength are not as good as yours can humiliate you in public, but you don't dare to raise the slightest idea of resistance, because what?"

"Because Hayreddin is closer to Barbarossa, and Barbarossa is the king of the ship, you are not as important as Hayredin in his eyes, so you don't even dare to resist in the face of Hyreddin. ”

Chloe was a smart man, and from a rational point of view, he knew very well that what William said was just to convince him, but from an emotional point of view, William's words inevitably resonated with him.

He obviously hated pirates very much, but because of Alcatio's orders, he still had to join the pirate group to live, and after he successively expressed his desire to break away, no one paid attention to him at all, and even more excessively, he may have been impatient by his attitude, and the people in the trading company even faintly revealed a little threat to him.

In this case, Alcatio still shows an attitude of nonchalance in the face of Chloe's humiliation.

As William said, Barbarossa and Arcatio don't care about these little people at all, if Chloe dies, it's a big deal to choose another unlucky ghost from the trading company, isn't this how Chloe himself took office?

may have known that he had no way out, so Chloe subconsciously began to find a reason for his "rebellion".

Under the accumulation of power, it is not easy to firmly betray Barbarossa, and Chloe has been trying to convince himself that he agrees with William's point of view.

William didn't speak, but looked at Chloe bowing his head slightly because of his words, his face was cloudy, and he seemed to be engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

Chloe thought about a lot of things, he followed William's point of view, thought about what would happen after the cooperation, and knew that William must have something to help him with, so he wanted to put forward some conditions, but maybe because of the series of events tonight, maybe because of the surrounding environment, when he spoke, he became a little weak: "I don't want to be a pirate." ”

"You have to continue to be a pirate, and you have to get back on board," William said undoubtedly: "The little man has no choice, because no one cares about your own thoughts, you are a little man now, but as long as you help me replace Barbarossa, then you will become an important enough key gentleman in the eyes of Arcatio, and at that time, you will have the right to choose, whether you want to continue to be a pirate, or to clear your identity and go ashore, you have a choice, and I will also help you, you will understand in the future, I and Barbarossa, Alcatio is different, and I love to share it, especially with talented people. ”

"But how do I get back to the pirate ship? Like you said, I'm suspicious. ”

"As long as I provide you with an alibi, that's fine. William said lightly.

No one on board would believe that William was willing to bear false witness for a man with deep contradictions.

Chloe struggled, but was finally persuaded by William, but he thought of the situation at the scene of the incident, hesitated for a moment, and still said honestly: "When I left, there was a naval soldier at the scene, I was afraid that he would tell the truth,"

"Don't worry," William helped Chloe brush his somewhat messy hair, "that navy is also mine." ”

A night of continuous blows, even a person with a heart as hard as iron, I am afraid that a crack will inevitably be knocked out in his heart, not to mention that Chloe is just a young man with a frustration in his heart,

Chloe really didn't expect that even the navy was a secret hand planted by William, he raised his head, glanced at William, and suddenly felt a little afraid.

“…… I understand. ”

……

The chaos in the ghetto of Kalmar City can be seen from the death of Hareddin.

If it weren't for the fact that Highreddin didn't return to the ship that night, and that he was still nowhere to be seen the next day, Barbarossa and Reis felt that something was wrong and sent someone to look for them, then the two bodies of Highreddin and the hapless drunkard in the alley might not have been found by the local residents until they smelled.

Now, the captain of the Redbeard Pirates, Barbarossa, the deputy captain Lacey, the new chief navigator, William under the pseudonym Stolt, the quartermaster, the representative of the Buendia family on the ship, Chloe, as well as the helmsman, the ship's doctor, several old pirates who found the body of Hayreddin, and the cadres and leaders of the whole ship with names and surnames, almost all of them were at the scene of Hairreddin's body.

The alley, which was not very wide, was full of vicious pirates, and the entrance of the alley was guarded by Barbarossa's men, and no one would be allowed to enter or leave the place without his permission.

All eyes were on the ship's doctor, Wood, a slightly chubby, balding middle-aged man, examining Hayreddin's body.

“…… He had suffered severe blunt force blows to his hands and feet, as well as to his head, but the fatal wound was a gunshot wound to the lower abdomen. Wood stood in front of Barbarossa with a heavy look on his face.

After Chloe heard that the fatal wound was a gunshot wound, his face was slightly unnatural, and he subconsciously glanced at William, obviously subconsciously, he had tied his safety to William.
