Chapter 21: Ghosts
Hunting country? No kidding.
Captain John Hawkins scoffed at this,
Only those fools who are blinded by the pompous words of the Age of the Pirates will do that, you know, although a bunch of fools are shouting about the Age of the Pirates all day long, but in fact, this era has no direct interest in anyone and everything except for the conquest of the Great Voyage by One Piece Roger. Everyone was blinded by the ethereal treasure, and one by one they hung up the skull flag, thinking that the pirates had started an adventure.
This era had changed dramatically before Roger's conquest of the Great Voyage, but at the same time, in a way, he had not changed. At least, it is the navy that does justice, the admirals are still alive and well, Karp's evil ghost has not been retired, and the flag of the joining of the world government has not been taken off between the countries.
Even if this country is weak, once it is destroyed by their pirates, whether it is for the sake of the people's hearts or face, the world government will definitely pursue and kill them endlessly!
Why, then, did Captain John plan this operation?
Oh, aren't there a lot of young people with strong blood?
If you can successfully capture that country, it is naturally easy to say, when the time comes, after taking the things, you will detonate the explosives that are secretly installed on the ships of these guys, and no one will do it without proof.
Even if this group of wastes and the Kingdom Army lose both, he can remove the treasures from these stupid ships in the process, and when the time comes, it is not bad to set the ship on fire, leaving this group of idiots waiting for the arrival of the navy. By the way, Captain John had already booked the Navy Express the next morning, and one of the Commodore Admirals of the Navy Headquarters was his uncle. When the time comes, he will be wealthy, his uncle will be famous, and the bounty of these fools will be a lot of income if they find a relationship.
It's a little exciting to think about.
Although that's what to say...... These guys are also veterans who have rolled on the tip of the knife, so naturally they will not hand over their backs to Captain John, a young man with a low reputation. The pirate captains didn't plan to get off the ship in the first place, but only let the recruited cannon fodder wear down the strength of the Kingdom Army, and then decide to throw in soldiers or run away depending on the situation.
Later, because there was a little problem in the process, the cannon fodder on the front line was actually stopped by one person, and these captains went to see it in person without believing in evil. After all, the wealth of being able to plunder a country is enormous, and no one is not impressed, but even so, they have left more than half of their own troops on the ship just in case. Even after discussion, Meredith, the "Serpent Princess", sent her co-captain and more than two-thirds of her subordinates as a guarantor, and she stayed behind with the rest of her subordinates to monitor John's movements. Several other captains also left their co-captains and trusted partners on board to go out with peace of mind.
Even, in the name and agreement of the Alliance, even Captain John himself had to send half of his troops to obtain the right to stay on board.
Merely......
The safety and value of his subordinates didn't seem to mean much to Captain John.
The sound of sorrow pierced through the field, and even Captain John, who was far away in the harbor, shuddered, and the shadows under the huge rock wall in the distance seemed to be a demon cave in hell, constantly harvesting the lives of the invaders. No one has even escaped from there to this day.
And according to the earliest reports, there was a man who stopped everyone.
Who has such terrifying strength?
Captain John frowned, although he could stop the five thousand army with his strength, but after all, he would have to pay a lot of price. And there were people from afar who did this, much to Captain John's uneasiness. The warning from the domineering of the sight and the smell made John no longer hesitate.
After ordering his subordinates to quickly carry the treasures of other ships onto his own ship, Captain John couldn't look at the corpses that had been pushed into a hill behind him!
There were more than 1,700 sailors left behind by the captains, but in addition to those who surrendered, more than 1,000 of them stained the waters of the dock with blood!
“…… Call...... Call...... We've known this for a long time...... Your danger...... I didn't expect that there would be such a big ...... Gap ......"
Half-kneeling behind Captain John, it was a woman covered in thick armor!
Wrapped in silver-white armor from head to toe, she is called "Snake Princess", a dangerous and beautiful woman, but she is an out-and-out martial artist!
And at this moment, he was half-kneeling behind John, and the blood oozing from the joints of the armor was enough to show that Captain John did not have a bad habit of pity for jade.
"Well, when there are about three minutes left, let's talk to you at the end."
Captain John glanced at the pocket watch in his hand and judged that there were still three minutes left before he could transfer the treasures from the other pirate ships. He had some free time, but he had a little more patience with this woman who was superior in force and the only one to kill his own ship.
It is said that this woman was just a little girl who was kidnapped by pirates from a small village in her early years, and later became the new love of the pirate leader because of her good looks. Later, I don't know if it was because of overindulgence or luxury, the pirate leader died suddenly on a carnival night. Well, since this woman can be called a snake princess, it goes without saying how the pirate leader died.
Being able to occupy a place in this sea area as a woman, coupled with that snake-like cruelty, Captain John had a good impression of her, and even a friendly olive branch had been handed over several times. However, this woman did not trust anyone, and never accepted Captain John's kindness. Even at the end of this last day, he misjudged that more than 1,700 of his own men could tear apart John, who had only a few hundred men left.
In the end, he was slaughtered by Captain John alone.
"Ahh Even if you dominate the four seas, if you don't go to that desperate journey, you will be a frog at the bottom of the well after all. With my strength, I don't deserve to lift shoes for those big people in the new world. ”
Putting his beloved pocket watch back in his inner pocket, the young captain picked up the bottle of rum that never left his hand and drank it in small sips, as if he had gone through many vicissitudes.
The first snow of winter fell for a long time, but even if it fell several times as much, it would not do much to the burning port. A roaring explosion exploded on the ship, and the five pirate ships calmly left the land of right and wrong.
Looking at the burning and exploding port not far away, Captain John sighed a little, sure enough, no matter how many times he watched it, this kind of fireworks was so brilliant and beautiful.
At that moment, he patted his head as if he remembered something, and turned to Meredith, whom he had forgotten for so long.
Now is the time!
Meredith was waiting for this moment, and the heavy armor disintegrated with a bang at this moment, in exchange for an explosion increase in instantaneous speed! The sharp sword blade popped out on the boom that had not yet fallen off! Straight stab John, who just turned his head!
Captain John didn't care, seeing and hearing the domineering perception that he knew what the woman behind him wanted to do even without his eyes, he was confident enough to crush the woman's wrist in a thousandth of a second, and then appreciate the desperate color under her mask.
Things were a little out of John's expectations.
It wasn't until he turned around that the retina received the overly beautiful thing, and before he could feed it back to his brain, he hesitated, instinctively. The beautiful face that had taken off its mask and appeared in front of him was like a fairy! Human beings must have a love of beauty, but they are different in size. And at this moment, John's mind was frantically resisting, did he really want to destroy such a beautiful thing?
It didn't take a second to get a response!
Kill!
If it is put in ordinary times, such a beautiful country will definitely impress you. But now, the blade that was about to pierce his throat did not give himself time to think about it at all!
But it's late! Victory or defeat is only a breath in the moment! And John lost the lead because of that visual impact!
Hell yes! John thought angrily, and even he had seen that the dreamy and beautiful face was full of mockery of men.
Time stood still, and a desperate Captain John swore that he would never want to see the next moment happen again in his life.
John's extremely tense optic nerve captured everything that was happening in front of him, and his dynamic vision was far beyond ordinary people, and he could never forget this moment in his life.
A pitch-black iron rod flew from the edge of John's sight at an extremely slow speed in John's eyes, and it smashed into Meredith's beautiful face, shattering her cheekbones, tearing her skin as white and tender as ice, and shattering half of her face, nose, teeth, tongue, eyeballs, blood vessels, bone fragments, and skull...... All the devices on the human skull fell apart in John's sight like the most delicate anatomy......
Like a watermelon, the headless corpse pounced on Captain John's body, and the arm that pierced his throat hung limply.
The galloping iron rod smashed a beautiful head, pierced the mast unabated, and disappeared into the distance!
Captain John, who was splattered in blood, didn't have time to reminisce about the pleasure of being alive, didn't have time to push away the headless corpse leaning on him, and didn't have time to suppress the vomiting sensation that twitched from his stomach and welled up to his mouth, he turned his head sharply and looked dead at the dock that was constantly burning and exploding!
In that blood-stained water, in the burning docks, in a dream of flames and smoke, he saw the man who made a throwing motion!
The steaming man slowly got up and screamed out in shock!
"War ghosts! Wren Walker! ”
