Chapter 151 The Olive Branch from the Red Hair (The Third Update, For the Hall Master Goes East Like Water)
When William's ship docked at the dock of Momiji Village, it was already evening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since it was already time to inspect the shipyard again, William simply took Sherlock, Edmund, and a group of crew members to the village, where they used to frequent, to drink and rest and settle the dinner problem by the way.
The tavern, where sailors and workers gathered, was always noisy and lively, but when William and his party pushed open the door and entered the tavern, the volume in the room quickly became quieter.
Most of the customers here knew William, Sherlock, Edmond and others, and when they saw the three of them entering, almost all of them put down their wine glasses, closed their mouths, and did not notice their customers, and quickly quieted down under the reminder of their companions.
Several young people with some childish looks on their faces involuntarily stood up and looked at William and the others with excitement.
William smiled easily and waved to a few of them.
In the hall on the first floor, there were only two tables of customers from outside who were still drinking on their own, and William glanced at them, frowned slightly, and then smiled again.
The chubby tavern owner had already trotted out of the backstage at this time, all the way to William, his face was full of flattery, nodded and led William and the others to the second floor of the tavern.
When William and others walked through the hall on the first floor, the customers on the first floor watched William and others go upstairs as if they were paying attention, and then the hall was full of noise, and the customers were talking about it, and the young people who were waved to greet by William were even more excited.
Like the arrival of the emperor's superstar, the many customers in the hall are as surprised and excited as a group of blind fans who have finally met their idols.
"Good scenery," on a wine table near the bar in the lobby on the first floor, since William and the others entered the bar, they have been watching their "red-haired" Shanks, after William's figure left, he tilted his head and poured the spirits in the cup, and after a sigh, he said with a little excitement, "This Captain William is really majestic, it's not in vain that I have waited for so many days!" ”
"Red-haired" Shanks had heard about William and the Morgan Pirates a year earlier at Magino, the proprietress of the Tavern in Windmill Village, and since then he has had the idea of inviting William, the captain of the Morgan Pirates, on board.
Over the past year, Shanks and his red-haired pirates have been based in Windmill Village, and while exploring the surrounding area, they will occasionally hear new news about the Morgan Pirates, plus they have taken the initiative to inquire about the information, and they already have a certain understanding of William and the Morgan Pirates.
Shanks is a whimsical, or rather, willful and childish man who wants to do whatever he wants, and since he wants to recruit William to board the ship, he must try it before leaving the East China Sea.
Despite his co-captain Ben. Beckman, after learning a lot of information about the Morgan Pirates and William, told him that the possibility of William agreeing to board the ship was extremely low.
William's whereabouts are not easy to find, and the official and civil descriptions of his statements basically present two extremes, and there are often different opinions, and various deeds and images are true and false, mixed together, often confusing people who want to find out the truth.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there was Ben on board. Beckman is such a smart person, and with Shanks's mind alone, he may not even know who the real captain of the Morgan Pirates is.
It's Ben. Beckman, following the clues, following a series of clues such as the Four Seas Trading Company and the mead production area, sorted out the important information that Momiji Village may be the base of William and the Morgan Pirates, or even the base camp.
So a week ago, Shanks and the red-haired pirates came to Frostmoon Village, and then came to Red Leaf Village from Frostmoon Village, both to rest and wait to see if they could meet William.
The reason why I went to Frost Moon Village first was also Ben. Beckman suggested that Ben. Beckman is not only the deputy captain of the red-haired pirates, but also the ship's military advisor and thinker, Shanks trusts him a lot, and since he suggests so, then even if it is troublesome, Shanks will still do it.
"Looking at the scene just now, you should understand why I suggested taking a detour and going to Frostmoon Village first, and then coming here, right?"
Root. Beckman had long black hair that he tied into a ponytail and hung down at the back of his head, and a bangs hung down from his left forehead, giving him a little uninhibited temperament.
His finger holding the cigarette casually pointed to the direction where William and the others disappeared at the stairs: "This man, on the surface, looks easy-going, but judging from the information we have heard, he is actually very domineering in his bones, and he is fundamentally different from our stupid captain." ”
The red-haired pirates at the table did not sell their captain's face at all, and they all laughed, and Shanks, who was ridiculed by his subordinates, was not angry, and smiled equally self-deprecatingly.
"The reason why it is not advisable to come directly to Momiji Village is to avoid conflict with him," Ben. Beckman took a sip of wine, "Although we are peers, but the profession of pirates, peers are enemies, we sailed to the base camp of another group of pirates by uninvited boat, it is easy to cause misunderstandings, if there is any misunderstanding or even contradiction with this Captain William, it will be difficult to do." ”
Root. Beckman looked at Shanks: "You have little hope of inviting him on the ship, and if there is a conflict, then there is no hope at all." ”
Shanks nodded.
However, a red-haired pirate crew member at the same table said with some disapproval: "What are you afraid of in the event of a conflict? If you can't fight, maybe you can convince him and let him see our strength, so that it will be easier to invite him on board. ”
"This kind of man, if I am his enemy, I will find it difficult to sleep," Ben. Beckman spat out a smoke ring and squinted at his companion who spoke, "You still want to let him live with you in the same boat if you offend him, and you don't have to find such a way to die." ”
Root. After Beckman finished speaking, he saw Shanks pour two glasses of spirits, and stood up with his right hand firmly holding the two glasses.
"I've said so much, you're going to hit a wall?" Root. Beckman said disapprerovingly.
Shanks smiled heartily: "It's all here, why worry about these things that haven't happened yet?" Agree or refuse, with just two options, the odds are half and half! ”
"How did you come to the conclusion that the odds are half and half like?" Root. Beckman said with a smile.
"Even if he refuses to get on the boat," Shanks raised his glass at him, "it's nice to have a drink with a man like that." ”
Shanks finished speaking, and staggered towards the stairs.
There were very few guests on the second floor, and after Shanks went upstairs, he just glanced at William, who was talking to Edmund and Sherlock, and strode over.
