Chapter Seventy-Nine: Borrowing Someone's Head for One Use (II)

William waited until a trace of cold sweat began to ooze from Felton's forehead before he spoke, and he said in a calm and soothing tone: "Why, Felton, my co-captain, do you think that I am on the ship, and I can't even let a small boat go to sea?"

The three words "deputy captain", William bit a little hard, with some sarcasm.

Felton said with difficulty, "The captain said ......." ”

"Oh, 'Captain said,'" William smiled, his tone even more sarcastic, "Did the Captain say he would let you take a bite of the Devil Fruit when he brought it back?"

Felton heard William tease him, and gritted his teeth in embarrassment, but at this time, William no longer paid attention to him, turned to the rookie pirate carrying a small wooden barrel, and said loudly without looking back: "You just honestly carry out the captain's orders, stay on the ship and don't move, I will go to our captain to talk about the future of our brothers on this ship." ”

William put himself and the rest of the ship on the same page, and with his previous prestige, the pirates around him consciously made a way for him.

He threw the barrel of liquor onto the boat, and then leaped into it, jumping nimbly himself.

"Stockett, do you want me to come with you?" asked Harden aloud as he leaned on the guard, he was indeed not afraid of death.

William laughed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm going to talk to our captain 'alone'." ”

After William finished speaking, he had already shaken the oars and sailed the boat towards the broken warship of the Swordfish Pirates.

Waiting for William to leave, Felton realized that Barbarossa was definitely not a big-hearted person, and he didn't know how he would punish himself when he came back and found that William had disobeyed his orders, and he and others failed to stop him.

He angrily shouted to everyone on the ship: "If you don't help me stop Stolt, see how you will explain to the captain when he returns!"

Felton angrily left with two cronies, but it is unknown how much of the anger on his face was genuine, and how much of it was disguised to clear his responsibilities.

Harden was dismissive of Felton's careful thoughts, and just looked at the direction of William's boat, frowning slightly, slightly worried.

The group of pirates on the deck gradually dispersed, and the ship's doctor Wood looked at the empty deck in the blink of an eye, with a sad face on his face, and sighed in a low voice.

The old pirate Hutcherson, who had brought William to adapt to life on the ship, was standing next to Wood, he had a good relationship with Wood, and when he heard the sigh, he picked up the flask and poured a few sips, and said with relief: "No matter who returns to the ship in the end, you don't have to worry about him embarrassing you, you are the only doctor on the ship." ”

"I hope so," Wood Doctor, touching his balding head, "who do you think will come back alive?"

"I don't know, but I hope it's Stolter," Hutcherson spat out, "how are we going to get back without the Navigator?"

Wood pursed his lips, in fact, he had similar thoughts, he believed that there were not a few pirates who had scattered with similar thoughts, and no one wanted Barbarossa, who was gradually becoming crazy, to come back.

By the time William arrived on the Swordfish Pirates ship in his boat, there were no more people standing on deck.

The Swordfish Pirates were originally small in number, but after the battle of the Great Voyage, the accident caused by crossing the windless zone, and the abandonment of Selkirk and his henchmen, after a series of attrition, there were only about twenty people left on the ship, and the strongest Selkirk was thrown down, and no one on the ship was Barbarossa's opponent.

The deck was covered with blood and corpses, and Barbarossa the "Redbeard" went on a killing spree on the ship in order to get the Devil Fruit as soon as possible, and now there were no living people on the entire ship except for William on the bow deck and Barbarossa in the aft navigator cabin.

……

On the other side, Barbarossa was in a mess, his hair and beard inevitably stained with a lot of blood as he strangled and cut through the enemy's body, and he didn't have time to tidy it up, so he went straight to the captain's room.

As soon as Crusoe threw Selkirk down, he moved into the captain's room, and brought the box containing the Devil Fruit to the captain's room to be placed, which Barbarossa had already asked for from the enemy.

The Captain of the Swordfish Pirates was not as extravagant as Barbarossa's, and the layout was also very different, although it was equally spacious, but not as much luxury, it was a little empty, a large nautical chart hung on one of the walls, and a rough but sturdy desk stood in the corner of the room, on which many books, including nautical diaries, were piled up.

Barbarossa was not interested in this now, he quickly scanned the room with one eye, and soon found a small iron box, and quickly took out the key he had stolen from Selkirk from his bosom, and stepped forward to open it.

Pushing open the somewhat heavy door, a fruit shaped like a pineapple and covered with strange patterns suddenly fell into Barbarossa's sight.

Barbarossa was about to take out the Devil Fruit when she heard footsteps coming from outside the house, shook her body, closed the box again, and turned her head to look at the door.

William, with a red-hot knife in one hand and a keg of liquor in the other, was standing at the door of the captain's room, looking coldly at Barbarossa who was squatting on the ground.

"Stolt, I knew you were a restless guy," Barbarossa slowly stood up, his face didn't show much surprise, his face was surprisingly calm, just the hair that spread his teeth and claws in mid-air like a living thing, revealing his true emotions, "You want to snatch this Devil Fruit?"

William shook his head, the corners of his mouth curled, and he wanted to show a smile, but after a long period of lurking, the mechanism was exhausted, and finally waiting for the day when he came out, his revenge made his smile a little hideous.

"Captain, I want to borrow your head for use!"

Barbarossa's gaze swept over the knife in William's hand, and he sneered: "It turns out that you want to usurp the throne, just up to you?"

The seal of the barrel was opened by William before, and he didn't reply, and after two sips of the cask, he suddenly threw the cask at Barbarossa.

Halfway through the barrel, William swung his knife sharply!

A red light streaked through the air, and then with a "boom", the barrel shattered, and a handful of flames burst violently, shining on Barbarossa.

Barbarossa took a step back, the beard on his chin growing wildly, and instantly turned into a furry shield in front of him.

When the flames hit the shield formed by the hair, it melted it like a hot knife cutting butter, and Barbarossa quickly reached out and wiped it on his chin, causing the shield to fall off and prevent the fire from spreading like him.

But by this time, William had already rushed in like a whirlwind, and the flames reflected in his face, and as soon as he slashed past, the flaming hair shield turned into countless sparks and flew everywhere, falling on the wooden bookshelves and paper books, and soon set them on fire.

A little splash of spark fell on William's face, and he seemed to have no reaction, and slashed at Barbarossa again.

Barbarossa swung the iron hook in his left hand to hook William's blade, and his right hand grabbed the handle of the scimitar at his waist, but when he saw William twist the knife and send it, he actually stabbed him in the shoulder along the hollow position of his iron hook.

The hair on Barbarossa's chest and arms grew wildly, and he wanted to tie up the knife, but when the hair touched the red back of the knife, a puff of black smoke came out, and he only stopped it, and the knife still pierced Barbarossa's shoulder.

"I'm going to kill you!" the pain and the anger of being betrayed made Barbarossa look hideous.
