Chapter 53: Drunken Life and Dream Death (Part II)

Becker is much closer to Ah Jin because of the incident just now, but he doesn't have a hot mind to confide in Ah Jin, although Ah Jin has gained some of his trust, but the fewer people who know about this kind of thing as trying to seize Redbeard's inheritance, the better, especially Ah Jin, who also stays on Redbeard's ship, has a loose tone or insufficient psychological quality, and it is easy to show his feet.

After pondering for a moment, Becker decided to learn more about Ah Jin, so he asked, "Why did you go to sea to become a pirate?" ”

"What can I do if I'm not a pirate?" Ah Jin pouted.

Becker was a little curious: "Why do you say that? ”

Ah Jin glanced at Becker and said: "You must not have lived in the docks for a long time, in addition to the taxes that should be paid, many docks also have gangsters who collect protection money, and every day fishing makes the whole body smelly of fish, but the net is broken, and I can't even get the money to repair it, I don't want to live this kind of life, it's better to be a pirate." ”

Becker didn't respond, in fact, Tony also did this kind of thing in Momiji Village to collect protection fees at the dock, in the past life, there were also forces such as fishing tyrants, who profited by exploiting and oppressing ordinary fishermen, but I didn't expect this world to have it.

"Wealth, fame, and power ......," Ah Jin shook his glass at Becker, "In fact, every day when fishing, you have to beware of encountering ferocious sea beasts, the danger is not much less than being a pirate, there is also a day and no tomorrow, being a pirate may still be able to obtain these things." ”

"You also know the words of One Piece before his execution?"

"Is there any pirate in this world who doesn't know?" Ah Jin took a sip of wine and said, "On this sea, what pirate has never had the luxury of obtaining the three things in the mouth of the One Piece in his heart, and which man has never fantasized about having the power of One Piece, after all, One Piece Roger opened an era with a word." ”

"There are some things that don't work just thinking about them." Becker commented noncommittally, "Look at the situation outside. ”

At this time, all resistance in the town was destroyed, and the pirates of the Redbeard Pirates were scattered around the town like sheep, rummaging through boxes and cabinets in search of belongings or women, and the word "loot" was only in their minds at this time.

The cries of pirates, the cries of women, the roars and screams of men filled the town, and reached the ears of the two men in the tavern through the windows and the broken gates.

Ah Jin grinned, he had stood on Becker's side only to repay his kindness, not to agree with Becker's approach, at this time, when he contacted Becker's words, coupled with Becker's previous conflict with the second mate Felton for the sake of a strange woman not being tortured, Ah Jin would be mistaken and felt that Becker's words inevitably seemed a little womanly.

Ah Jin said: "Isn't it normal for pirates to grab things?" ”

"It's normal to grab things, but it's not normal to grab them like this," Becker knew what he was thinking when he saw Ah Jin's expression, and sneered, "Have you ever thought about what would happen to a naval warship at this time?" ”

Becker didn't wait for Ah Jin's answer before continuing: "Now that the pirates in this town are running everywhere like rats, and almost all the men on the ship are scattered into the town again, how long do you say it will take from the discovery of the navy to the gathering of manpower, and then to the speed of the ship anchoring?" ”

"You're worried that our ship won't be blocked by the Navy yet?" Ah Jin is not stupid, Becker said here he also somewhat understood what the other party meant, "But the captain is still on the ship, and the navy may not be his opponent." ”

"Can the captain drive the ship alone?" Becker asked rhetorically, "With the few backward guns on the ship, how can it be compared with the navy, not to mention how many manpower can be gathered at that time, the navy can smash our pirate ship like a target from afar, do you expect the captain to row a small plank to rush to the front and fight the navy at that time?" ”

Ah Jin opened his mouth, unable to refute, he didn't know that the Devil Fruit Ability was afraid of water, but he knew that if Barbarossa couldn't get close to the navy, he wouldn't be able to show his strength.

Becker shook his head: "It's brainless enough to grab it directly, and now it's all the hands that are scattered." ”

Seeing Ah Jin's puzzled face, Becker asked, "With your skills, why were you oppressed by the gangsters when you were in your hometown?" ”

When Ah Jin heard this, he was a little depressed and said: "They have been entrenched in the dock for many years, they have a wide range of contacts, the tax collector and the mayor have a relationship with them, it is useless to be good, they can't beat me, and they can rely on the power of the kingdom to punish me." ”

"So you understand now?"

"Understand what?"

"The gangsters in your hometown are also robbing things, but their methods are smarter, they are not noticeable, and they will also involve all aspects of their tentacles, they can have their own territory to operate, not running around, entrenched in one place, as long as the leader is smart enough, the power will become bigger and bigger," Becker said disdainfully, "Now the ship's practice looks happy, in fact, after the looted goods are sold to the stolen goods behind the captain, it is the person who sells the stolen goods who makes the most money, The other part of the money can be earned back from the supplies given to us, and what is the use of a gang of pirates on the ship robbing more money, can they support their old age? The more times this happens, the higher the bounty, the greater the intensity of the navy's encirclement and suppression, and the bleaker the future. ”

Ah Jin was silent, he lost the interest in drinking for a while, he listened to Becker's words, after thinking about it, he did feel that the future of the Redbeard Pirates was a little bleak, although the Redbeard Barbarossa was powerful, but he was not invincible, he could only run rampant in the East China Sea, and when he encountered a large navy, he would still be chased around, and Redbeard's approach could not improve the situation of the pirates.

Becker secretly glanced at Ah Jin in contemplation, and was satisfied to perceive the other party's vacillation, what he said before was not lying, he still didn't know about the Four Emperors and the Seven Martial Seas, a group of forces at the top of the pirate pyramid, but he believed that even if the pirates in this world were different from the previous life, the top pirate group would not run around like Redbeard, without the slightest foundation.

…………

The hustle and bustle throughout the town subsided over time, and then gathered at Becker's tavern, where a handful of pirates were arranged by Reis to guard the ship without complaint, and Barbarossa the Redbeard summoned all the pirates to the tavern for a banquet exclusive to the pirates.

The pirates who came to the tavern talked excitedly and contentedly, boasting about the loot they had grabbed, and a large rectangular wooden table was moved to the tavern hall, facing the tavern gate, where Barbarossa was sitting, and the vice-captain Lacey was directing some pirates to move the tables, chairs, and food and drinks, while Becker and Wood accompanied Barbarossa to drink.

Barbarossa drank her wine and asked Becker, who was sitting not far from her, as if nonchalantly, "I heard that you had a conflict with Felton?" ”

Barbarossa's tone was not serious, his eyes casually swept over the other pirates in the room, Becker observed for two seconds, and after a deep sigh, he replied: "The conflict is not to be discussed, but there was a misunderstanding with the second mate in order to protect this tavern." ”

"For the sake of a tavern, you have a dispute with the second mate?" Wood said ill-intentionedly, "Fortunately, you haven't been on the ship for long, and this tavern doesn't have much money, otherwise it might not be as simple as a dispute." ”

"The captain said that there was going to be a banquet, of course I have to protect the wine in this tavern," Becker said lightly, "How can there be no wine at the banquet of 'Redbeard'?" ”

Barbarossa laughed when she heard this: "I have never been to a banquet without alcohol, and you said it very well, Becker, and it is very brave to dare to contradict Felton for my words." ”

"It's nothing, I just know exactly whose pirates this is." Becker deliberately made a calm appearance and said, the horse was very cleverly photographed, which made Barbarossa even more happy.

Wood on the side cursed secretly: "Sycophant." ”

I forgot what I looked like when I faced Eton.
