Chapter 262: Defense

Ander also listened for a while before he said to the other roommates in the room: "When I came, I heard that Abram and their sisters also seemed to be preparing to write a joint letter after hearing about Mitch Maronko, asking the school to agree to let the students also participate in the war. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Abram, he wasn't born in the East China Sea, right, what's the fun?" A man in the dormitory asked.

"But our school is in the East China Sea, and it's the principal who is leading this battle." Ender said.

Sabo sighed and looked at the letters on the table.

The letter was not from Ace or Luffy, but from his former roommate, Hughes. Holt.

At that time, in the dormitory, Hughes, who was born in the slums. Hult is the oldest and has been graduating for a while now.

It's just that unlike what others expected, Hughes after graduation. Hult took the initiative to apply to leave Kalmar City and go to the local area to help preside over the work in the countryside, in his words, that is, the life he is living now, which he has never dared to think of before, and he hopes to do something for people from the slums.

Hughes. When Holt was still in school, his relationship with Saab was not particularly close, but after going to the countryside, the two often exchanged letters, and the relationship became much closer.

Hughes. In his letter, Hult said that not only the city of Kalmar had recently been boiling over the mobilization of the war in the newspapers, but also that the local area had been affected a lot.

Sabo sighed, closed the book, and stood up from his seat.

"Sabo, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Ander subconsciously asked.

"I'm going to find Abram, and I'm going to add to the joint letter," Sabo said, turning to look at the other people in the room, "Are you going?" ”

……

In the town of Blackreef in the Kingdom of Navia, Johnny and Joseph left the docks, looked around, and then inquired all the way to a tavern in the town.

There were many customers in the tavern, and after the two young men found a seat and sat down, the young and capable tavern lady Mary came over in a short time.

While recording the food and wine ordered by the two, Mary looked at the outfits of the two of them, and asked, "You two came here because of the mobilization in the newspaper?" ”

"How do you know?" Johnny asked, scratching his head.

The proprietress Mary pursed her lips and smiled, this smile with a mature charm made the two young men with strong blood dumbfounded, only to hear her say: "During this time, people like you have come a lot, just the two of you, so young and armed with weapons, can there be any other reason for coming here?" ”

Mary kindly persuaded: "I'll help you avoid this order today, you better go back, your ideas are very good, and I also admire your enthusiasm, but the Golden Lion Shiji is not an ordinary person, and the number of airships and hot air balloons in Kalmar City and White Pine Town is not enough, so you can only choose elite battles, and I am afraid that you will run for nothing if you go." ”

When Joseph heard this, he boasted loudly with a tone of disbelief peculiar to young people: "Don't underestimate us, the two of us are bounty hunters, Johnny and Joseph, although they have not debuted for a long time, they are already very famous!" ”

Mary's expression changed when she heard this, and she subconsciously looked at a wine table behind Johnny and Joseph.

Seeing this, Johnny, who was a little more careful, also subconsciously looked back, and saw that the drinkers at that table heard his words and put down their wine glasses in unison.

"Bounty hunters?" One of the men at the table smirked, his hand reaching for the saber at his waist.

His fellow pirates at the table also laughed strangely, and looked at Johnny and Joseph with ill will, and someone sneered, "What are you stray dogs doing here that eat leftovers from the navy?" ”

Johnny's color changed slightly, and he also reached for the hilt of his saber, and Joseph also stood up from his seat at Johnny's reminder.

When the saber was rattling, surrounded by a group of pirates, a strong man with a three-cornered hat suddenly slammed his wine glass on the table, and after making a noise to attract the attention of the people around him, he said: "Enough! ”

"You're also here to defend the East China Sea?" The man who looked like a pirate captain asked Johnny and Joseph, who were nervous.

Johnny nodded.

"Everyone is from the East China Sea, if you have any grievances and disputes, wait until this incident is over," the pirate captain was quite magnanimous, and after saying this, he ordered some of the subordinates around who took out their weapons, "Put away all the weapons!" ”

Johnny and Joseph looked at each other and put their half-drawn knives back into their scabbards.

"If you don't mind, you can come and sit down and have a drink," the pirate captain added, "We're here to defend the East China Sea, too." ”

Seeing Johnny and Joseph's hesitation, the pirate captain smiled and looked a little contemptuous: "If you're afraid, forget it." ”

"Who's afraid?" Joseph snorted and strode through a line of vicious pirates to sit down in front of the pirate captain.

Seeing this, Johnny couldn't leave his good friend behind, so he followed.

"Pirates also want to defend the East China Sea?" Not to be outdone, Joseph asked.

The pirate captain was not angry at Joseph's tone, but poured a glass of wine for each of them: "I am a pirate and a native of the East China Sea, this is not a conflict, this is where I grew up and where I live, someone wants to destroy it, why can't I fight?" ”

"So, you're still heroes?" Joseph pouted.

"I don't think we're heroes, but when we get to the kingdom of Navia, we show that we're under the influence of Morgan. William was indeed treated like a hero after the battle mobilization in the newspaper, we didn't loot anywhere along the way, but the supplies on the ship were never lacking, the local residents sincerely thanked us warmly, and prayed for our safety when they left," the pirate captain pushed the wine glass in front of the two of them, "So, it's the first time I understand, it turns out that being a hero feels pretty good, originally I was a little hesitant, and my subordinates still objected, but when there were more times like this, my thoughts were firm, We will definitely take part in this battle to defend the East China Sea. ”

Johnny and Joseph looked a little surprised: "The world has changed, and the pirates are so great?" ”

"Not really," the pirate captain smiled wryly with a complicated expression, "There are also pirates who take advantage of the fire to rob and even fish in troubled waters passing by here, but ......." ”

A young man pushed open the tavern door and walked in.

The pirate captain looked at the man and said, "But this young Hughes. Sheriff Holt led the men to exterminate them. ”
