Chapter 83: The Human Heart (I)

During the night, the ship renamed the Morgan Pirates anchored on an unknown island.

The pirates on the ship don't know why William, who goes by the pseudonym Stolt, gave the pirates such a name, but now that William is the captain, they can only obey.

William knew that for the uneducated pirates, how connotative and stylish the pirate name was actually secondary, and it was the first priority to be straightforward, especially to highlight the characteristics of the captain - William was especially concerned about this, he felt that this was the easiest way to subtly increase the authority and influence of his crew.

In view of the fact that William does not have a wanted warrant and has not made a name for himself and gets a nickname such as "Redbeard", he will directly use his surname to name his pirate group, naming it "Morgan Pirates", which is also the most common way for pirates to name it.

In a small cabin, the bean-sized light illuminates the room, the deputy captain Felton and the ship's helmsman Diego are drinking, the two of them are confused, their faces are red, I don't know how long they have been drinking, the only snacks on the table are peanuts, which seems to be a little shabby to the nominal number two on the ship.

Felton poured a sip of wine, threw the peanut shell in his hand on the table, and scolded: "A bunch of bastards, obviously just a newcomer who has just come on board, hugging Stolt's thigh, dare to be a fox, I invite you to drink, I want to go to the kitchen to get some food and wine, Nadal's stinky little words, actually said, 'I want to ask the captain'." ”

After William became the captain, he did not immediately make drastic changes to the personnel on the ship, and Felton was still his deputy captain for the time being, but everyone on the ship knew that his deputy captain was in name only, and he couldn't tell when he would be taken down.

The ship's helmsman, Diggo, was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he was considered an old man on the ship, with short brown hair, and was not tall, but stocky.

He picked up the glass in his calloused palm, unceremoniously took a large sip of wine into his mouth, and then picked up the flask and filled his glass, not reacting to Felton's words the whole time.

Felton scolded in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but only said with a big tongue: "If you want me to say, this ship is becoming more and more unstoppable, a group of hairy boys who have not been on the ship for a long time have turned over and become the masters, but instead crushed the old man who was born and died on the ship for many years, it is really fucking unfair." ”

Diego chewed on peanuts and was noncommittal: "The newcomers at sea have always stepped on the old man to get ahead, Barbarossa heard that this is also the case?"

"The question is, why do we, old men, let him step on the top position?" Felton said pointedly.

"He doesn't have to step on us, he's already stepped on Barbarossa's head, and even if he does, what can we do? Diego exhaled, and his tone seemed to be a little unwilling.

Felton pretended to pouted with disdain: "He just played a little trick, Barbarossa's ability is afraid of fire, you see he also specially prepared a burning red knife at that time, what's the big deal." ”

Diego laughed, and Felton turned red, but he had drunk a lot, and his face was already red, and the lights in the room were not too bright to be noticeable.

Both of them knew that Felton's words were deliberately belittling William, and what if he knew that Barbarossa was capable of fearing fire? What if he Felton knew? Would he dare to challenge Barbarossa, who had accumulated a lot of power on the ship, alone?

As mentioned more than once, the three Redbeard brothers are majestic, almost like bears, except for the bloated Hyreddin, Lacey and Barbarossa are extremely oppressive in terms of appearance alone, and their stature, even in this world, is considered to be extraordinary, which makes them infinitely powerful.

Even without the Devil Fruit ability, Barbarossa's strength on the ship was not something that someone like Felton could compete with.

Felton knew that Diego was not stupid, and the other party didn't seem to believe this kind of words, so he changed the topic and said: "Forget about the rest, the Swordfish Pirates' Devil Fruit, he didn't bring it back, he must have swallowed it alone, 100 million Baileys! According to Barbarossa, it should be the whole ship's share, why let him eat it for nothing? Everything is unfair, how can people believe that he will be better than Barbarossa in the future?"

When Diego heard the 100 million Bailey, he couldn't help but smack his lips, looking a little regretful, and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

When Felton saw Diego's appearance, he felt that his words were effective, so he continued to speak: "I mean, when we go ashore, we will leave this broken ship, you are the helmsman, and you have a flying knife skill, I also have a lot of manpower, when I win over a few more old people on the boat, then our group of people will have strength, experience, and technology, where to join, will not be treated as a guest?

"He loves to be the king of kids, so let him and his bunch of stinky boys stay on the boat and stare at him wide-eyed," Felton smirked, "I want to see what he looks like when he finds that he can't even move the boat!"

Diego smiled at him, but didn't give him an affirmative answer.

This made Felton a little dissatisfied, and he talked for a while, but Diego never let go, and he left directly, and when he left, he took away all the wine and peanuts he brought.

When Felton was gone, Diego drank the rest of the wine from his glass, and carefully poured it into his mouth, unwilling to let go of a drop.

When he couldn't pour anything anymore, Diego put his glass on the table and said contemptuously, "Idiot!"

William's words at the bow of the ship three days ago can be said to be truly magnificent, he used to clash with Zhepu, and later bought people's hearts on the ship, which is nothing compared to it.

Diego dared to say that when he was speaking at the bow of the ship, if anyone dared to take the lead, even if it was just a little dissent or sign, no matter who it was, no matter how many people stood up, William would definitely go on a killing spree, and half of the people on the ship would be slaughtered, and he would not blink an eye.

William had already killed Barbarossa, and the biggest obstacle to the whole ship had been removed, and it was impossible to allow anyone to hinder him at this time, his murderous intentions could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, so even if Felton was not convinced, he didn't dare to come forward at that time, or even make a sound.

After all, even from the perspective of the situation, William is not lagging behind, Chloe has sided with William, Harden is about the same, and some old pirates such as Hutcherson who have a good relationship with William, as well as a group of newcomers led by Nadal.

At that time, almost the whole ship was there, and when William had not yet become the de facto captain, Felton did not dare to come forward, but now he was sneakily doing some little tricks in secret, in Diego's opinion, what is not a fool?

It may be a little funny to talk about the legal system on the pirate ship, but in fact, there is also the so-called popular desire in the pirate group, William in front of the whole ship, openly asked who was not convinced, and no one raised objections, then he became the captain, which is equivalent to the acquiescence of the whole ship.

Since he is the captain of the ship under everyone's "support" and acquiescence, Felton is still his nominal subordinate, and before he has even gone ashore, he is engaged in tandem everywhere on the ship, isn't this deliberately sending William over with an excuse to pick him up? After all, Felton is not the original William, but a navigator, and the ship cannot sail without him.

There were so many people that Felton couldn't have contacted Diego alone, and sooner or later someone would leak the news to their new captain, William.

Rather than waiting for someone else to report the news to William and make a name for himself in front of the new captain, Diego felt that he might as well do it himself.
