Chapter 51: The Vault

"Redbeard" Barbarossa's bounty is as high as 19 million Bailey, even the weaker naval fleet can't help him as a Devil Fruit ability, the poor armed forces of a remote town are really vulnerable to the Redbeard Pirates, Barbarossa didn't even get off the boat, and a group of pirates from the Pirates have already entered the town.

The peaceful and stable situation of the town was easily torn apart by the pirates, and there was gunsmoke and fire everywhere as far as the eye could see, Barbarossa stood on the deck and looked at the few black smoke rising from the town, and frowned and scolded with disgust: "Let these bastards rob, who let them set fire?" ”

On the other hand, with the Redbeard Pirates all participating in the raid, Becker was not alone, and he entered the town with a small group of pirates along with Arkin and Harden, and then stopped at the door of a tavern.

The leader of the small gang of pirates also stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The captain said earlier that he was going to have a banquet later, so let's not destroy the tavern in town." Becker said lightly.

"So?"

"The captain obviously meant to have a banquet in the tavern, and I stayed here to guard the tavern, lest any short-sighted townsfolk and pirates come here and make the captain angry."

Several pirates from the small gang looked at each other, and the leader asked uncertainly, "Are you sure?" ”

Becker nodded slowly, Arkin behind him didn't say anything, Harden hesitated, as if he wanted to pull Becker, but gave up.

Seeing this, the leader of the small gang laughed dryly, and said hypocritically: "You are really responsible, no wonder the captain values you so much." ”

The group had been with Becker before, because they had seen Becker kill the enemy, and they knew that Becker was very skilled, and at this time, the town's resistance was crushed, and they didn't need Becker's force.

"It doesn't take many people to guard such a tavern, and I think you're actually enough for one person," the leader laughed, "In that case, we'll go and help the others." ”

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Becker's response, he shook his head at a few of his accomplices, and several of them quickly left, guarding a tavern that had to be preserved, how could it be so happy to plunder the town's people?

A few words of mockery came to the ears of Becker and the others along the breeze, "Fool." "He's got a problem with his brain?"

Ah Jin was a little annoyed, he scolded, tightened the iron rod in his hand and wanted to catch up, Harden's face was not very good-looking, he was angry that a few departing pirates did not recognize anyone in a blink of an eye, and some complained that Becker gave up a great opportunity to make a fortune, and stupidly took the initiative to stay and guard a tavern, but he was quite righteous and did not leave with a few people.

Becker grabbed Ah Jin, and Ah Jin could only stop indignantly: "These bastards. ”

"Don't do it now, I'll pick them up later when I have a chance." Becker said meaningfully, then holding the hilt of his knife in one hand, flew up and kicked open the door to the tavern.

Becker stood at the gate and glanced around the tavern, especially some imperceptible corners, and found that there was no ambush before entering the tavern with Ah Jin and Harden.

The interior of the tavern was a bit cluttered, many tables and chairs were lying on the floor, and it was obvious that the guests in the tavern had left in a hurry, but fortunately, the most important thing in the tavern, the wine, was all intact.

Ah Jin and Harden took a bottle of rum from behind the bar, and found a table that did not fall down and sat down, Harden looked at the empty tavern, poured a sip of wine and sighed: "The captain said that he wanted to open and hold a banquet, and he didn't tell you to look at the tavern alone, what did you say, what did you volunteer, and we can't grab or grab anything here." ”

He sighed again, and said with a depressed face: "How good it is to follow the others and go to other places to grab and grab things." ”

Becker said disdainfully: "A small town in the middle of nowhere, so remote that there is not even a naval base nearby, what good things can be grabbed." ”

"Money, money and women, there are so many things that can be robbed, you have no experience, and you don't know how good it is to rob things," Harden pouted, pointing to the wine bottle in his hand, "This wine will be a banquet in a while, and I, we can also drink it, so why use the opportunity to rob and grab things." ”

"It's just a small fight." Becker commented.

Harden sighed as he poured his wine, looking very heartbroken about the opportunity to be robbed.

Becker wandered around the room for a while, expressionless, and then said to the two, "You two stay here, I'll go to the other rooms and check to see if anyone is hiding." ”

Harden reluctantly joked: "You can't just swallow good things when you find them!" ”

Becker waved his hand, leaving only the back of Harden's head.

Becker then carefully inspected the various rooms in the tavern, and found no one hiding, until he came to the door of a familiar wine cellar.

Becker hesitated for a moment, as if he saw the young man hidden behind the cellar through the wooden door of similar style, holding a knife and nervously waiting for the pirates to step into the ambush, just like the situation in the cellar of Blackreef Village, except that the roles were reversed, and he was now a pirate himself.

With a screeching grinding sound, Becker slowly opened the wooden door, he stood in the doorway and let his eyes adjust to the dim environment of the cellar, and then vigilantly followed the familiar staircase, slowly leaving the bright outside world and descending into the dark cellar.

The dimly lit cellar was quiet and a pin drop could be heard, and Becker checked around, and there was not a single knife-wielding teenager, nor a panicked mother and daughter, only a few rats were disturbed by him, squeaking and fleeing from him.

Becker took off his disguise and sat down on the steps of the cellar, feeling relieved, he didn't know what he would do if he really encountered a few civilians hiding in the cellar, when the pirates invaded the town before, he specifically avoided the battle, and did not slash civilians like other pirates.

Becker had killed all the wicked before, and he could easily find a moral excuse for his actions, but due to the influence of his previous life, he could not convince himself to kill unarmed civilians with peace of mind.

But he also had no hope for his insistence on the bottom line of morality, and if he really blocked a few civilians in the tavern, Becker didn't know whether he would kill the villagers in the cellar or take the risk to save them.

Well, now he doesn't need to face the dilemma in his heart.

Becker suddenly laughed at himself, shouting outside to kill the sky, the Redbeard Pirates are plundering to their heart's content, he is not in a position to make Barbarossa dismiss the idea, and he can't resist the Redbeard Pirates alone, so he didn't stop this robbery, all he chose was to escape, and now he has a troubled conscience for the sake of a few civilians who may exist?

Becker got up and patted his buttocks, and went back to find Arkin and Harden, and as soon as he entered the room, he heard the tavern door "bang" and someone pushed it open from outside, and one of them immediately rushed into the room and closed the door immediately.

Becker, Akin and Harden reacted quickly, and the latter two immediately stood up, and Becker also subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the knife.

The people who suddenly broke into the tavern obviously did not know that in the noisy and full of pirates rummaging through boxes and cabinets and shouting and screaming, there were still people hiding in the unusually quiet tavern, and after closing the door, they found the three of Becker, startled, and when they noticed the clothes and weapons of Becker and others, they immediately looked desperate.

The person who broke into the tavern was a woman, disheveled, and her hair was scattered, and Becker could vaguely see that the other party was a young and beautiful girl, and the reason why she could see it "vaguely" was because the other party's right cheek was high and bulging, with a clear handprint on it, and her left eye was swollen and almost unable to open it, only a gap could be exposed, all of which destroyed the other party's delicate facial features and added a little difficulty to Becker's guess.

This panicked girl was unclothed, her bare skin was full of red marks and tooth marks, her hands were holding a fruit knife, there were still some blood stains on it, at this time she subconsciously pointed the tip of the knife in the direction where Becker and the others were, but her hands trembled, making the tip of the fruit knife constantly shaking, and there was really no deterrent to Becker and others.

"She's running here?"

"I saw her go into the tavern!"

A few shouts came into the house from the window, the only woman in the room was completely desperate, a trace of struggle flashed between her expressions, and then she slammed the tip of the knife at her chest, but unfortunately it takes great courage for ordinary people to end the knot, and it is not so easy, she couldn't make a breath, the tip of the knife just pierced the chest a little, and then slowed down the movement in pain.

The other three men in the room had already understood what was going on at this time, Harden didn't want this woman to kill herself, and stepped forward to stop the other party, but he didn't expect someone to move faster than him.

A series of footsteps sounded from Harden's side, Becker passed by him with a cold expression, the girl was not decisive enough, at this time, seeing Becker rushing towards him, instinctively wanted to defend himself, and stabbed the fruit knife at Becker.

Becker didn't dodge, the fruit knife stabbed shallowly into his shoulder, and the knife in his hand was sent into the girl's arms.

The skill of swordsmanship was extremely clear in his mind, and Becker sent the knife firmly into the girl's vital point, and he could ensure that the other party would not have a second of pain.

Harden exclaimed, then screamed something, Becker didn't hear clearly, his full attention was on the girl, watching her eyes turn from horror to confusion, and then lose her look, tears flowed from her intact right eye and swollen left eye, Becker's lips squirmed.

Bang!

The door of the tavern was smashed open again, and it was ravaged several times in a day, and the wooden door was suddenly scrapped and slapped on the ground with a "pop".

Felton, who was in open clothes, rushed in with several pirates who were also disheveled, and several people saw Becker and the girl for the first time, Felton shrank his pupils and roared: "Stop!" ”

As if he hadn't heard, Becker pulled out the knife sharply, and the girl's body fell to the ground instantly, instantly forming a pool of blood under his feet, and Becker felt as if his heart had stopped beating with the other party, and his chest became empty.

Felton and the other pirates who rushed into the house looked at the woman who had lost signs of life, and then glared at Becker, who looked back coldly.
