Chapter Seventy-Five: It is difficult to share wealth and wealth

There was no wind, and a wrecked warship struggled to move forward at sea.

The ramming horns of the ship had been broken, the broken holes in the hull had been patched with planks, and the different colors of wood had been turned into patches, making the supposed mighty ship look comical from afar.

Because there was no wind, the sails had been put away by the people on board, and below deck, two rows of oars stretched out from both sides of the hull, and with the faint sound of slogans, two white lines were drawn in unison on the sea.

Behind the warship, the blue sea was stained red with blood, and the corpse of a mountain-like sea king monster sank and floated in the sea, and the captain of the warship, the pirate Selkirk, was drenched, panting, and lying on the deck.

He looked to be in his thirties, his bare upper body crisscrossed with countless scars, and because of the lack of food, the fat content on his body was reduced, and his muscles were more defined.

Next to him, the deputy captain and navigator Crusoe ignored the captain who had just fought with the Sea Kings and seemed exhausted, and commanded a subordinate next to him with an expressionless face: "Blood will soon attract other Sea Kings, we must leave as soon as possible, notify the below, and work harder, we must speed up!"

The pirates who heard the order also didn't even look at their captain, and walked away quickly.

It was only then that Crusoe sneered at Serkirk, "If you eat the Devil Fruit, can you still go into the water to stop the Sea Kings from storming our ship? ”

"If that fruit was natural, or had some other ability that could be used, I probably wouldn't have to go into the water. Selkirk sat up slowly.

"What if?" Crusoe pouted.

In just a few words, there was a cold scene between the two, and the discord between the captain and the deputy captain and navigator of the ship, two important figures, could already be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

The Swordfish Pirates, the name given by Captain Selkirk, had nothing to do with the name, did not offer advice, and did not participate in the discussion, because he was not the patriarch of the ship.

At every moment of the voyage of the Great Voyage, in addition to guarding against bad weather, there were also various battles, and many cadres such as the original navigator and deputy captain of Serkirk were killed in a brutal battle, and Cruzoe, as well as some other cadres and crews, all joined the pirates later.

Without the friendship of sharing adversity and suffering, there will naturally be no friendship of common prosperity and prosperity.

The Swordfish Pirates obtained a Devil Fruit in a very fortuitous accident, and this unexpected joy, coupled with the crew and cadres who were fed up with the bad living conditions of the Great Voyage, finally decided to venture out of this place after discussion.

It's just that the cadres on the ship have the same goal of leaving the great route, but the specific route is different.

Captain Selkirk meant that he would eat the Devil Fruit, so that with the fruit ability, combined with the strength he honed on the Great Voyage, he would immediately become a superior sea thief in other seas, and the amount of the Devil Fruit 100 million Baileys would soon be recovered.

It's just that this suggestion is not accepted by Crusoe at all, and the effect of the Devil Fruit is like gambling, and the results are good and bad, and the worst is needless to say - becoming a landlubber begging for a living at sea, and his strength has not improved much.

Even if it's a bad or bad outcome, it often takes a long time to develop the ability to greatly improve the strength, and Crusoe and the crew who are on the same front as him agree that this is not conducive to their imminent crossing of the windless zone.

Of course, the real, and more important reason is that there is only one Devil Fruit, and improving the strength can only improve one person, just let Selkirk monopolize the benefits, Crusoe and the other crew members who are not with the captain are unwilling, it is the so-called not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness.

What's more, after eating the fruit, the already strong Selkirk will go further, and his position will become stronger, and when the time comes, he will not return the favor of the crew, when will it be returned, it is not his final say?

Crusoe and the others' opinion is that they can sell the Devil Fruit after bringing it to their destination, and their destination is the weakest sea area in the four seas - the East China Sea, with their strength, as long as they get a moment of respite, they don't need to eat the fruit, they are enough to settle in the East China Sea and become the top hunter in the pirate food chain, and they are fully capable of selling the Devil Fruit at an ideal price.

As a result, the ship is now in a strange phase of stalemate, where the captain and the second man, the navigator, distrust each other, because the Devil Fruit will turn from a treasure into a worthless waste as soon as it is bitten off, and under mutual beware, the fruit is locked in an iron box found by Selkirk, and the key is kept by him, and the box is placed in Crusoe's room.

Although Serkirk is unwilling, but there is no way, although his strength is the strongest on the ship, but whether it is through the windless zone, or in the early days of the East China Sea, facing a strange sea, the ship is indispensable to the navigator Crusoe, it can be said that in this period, Crusoe's importance is higher than him, as the captain, his biggest role is probably only to dive down and fight with the sea kings to ensure the safety of the ship.

It's just that although Serkirk thinks Crusoe is a bastard, he also has to admit Crusoe's ability, and it is he who calculates that this season is the best time for Aquaman-type activities, which has allowed them to come to this point in the windless belt without danger.

Selkirk was ruthless in his heart, and when he arrived in the East China Sea and became familiar with the environment, he must replace Crusoe and find a reliable navigator.

He shook the sea water off his body, the sea breeze blowing through his skin gave him goosebumps, and his eyes glanced around, trying to find a towel to wipe it.

Wait, Sea Breeze!?

Selkirk suddenly turned his head, just in time for the surprised Crusoe, the two happy faces looked at each other for a moment, but they turned their heads in unison, and each ran to inform the others on the boat.

They've crossed the windless belt!

"Finally able to get rid of this damn bastard!"

The two of them thought in unison.

……

Along the way, the Redbeard Pirates approached the windless zone safely, and when they arrived here, the pirate ship under the command of William was more cautious to avoid encountering the sea kings who were wandering around.

Now, after sailing in fear near the windless zone for nearly half a month, during which the Redbeard Pirates have not encountered other pirates, not even the shadows of other humans, the morale of the ship is inevitably low, and the crew has lost confidence in Barbarossa's plan.

Barbarossa himself became even more agitated, he had already hanged several crew members with his fruit ability for some trivial matters in the past few days, and those dead bodies were hung by him on the bow of the ship, like large wind chimes, sticking out their tongues, and being blown by the wind from time to time to turn around, and rolling their eyes swept over the pirates working on the deck, which was very terrifying.

Sailing in windless areas is already dangerous, and Barbarossa's actions add to the psychological pressure of the ship's pirates.

Even the hanging corpses stinked faintly, and the crew did not dare to remind Barbarossa to put them down, lest they be angered by Barbarossa.

The domineering sea thief "Redbeard", who befriended the Minister of the Kingdom and the head of the naval base to dominate the East China Sea, has disappeared and has been replaced by a hot-tempered, irritable, murderous and brainless tyrant that makes the crew feel strange, a mad beast that makes people frightened and alienated.
