Volume 2: The First Knife in the East China Sea Chapter 66 Adaptability
Chapter 66 Adaptability
Barbarossa tore his bounty to shreds, then said, "You don't care how I find the Devil Fruit, you just remember to help me find someone." ”
Hearing this, Alcatio involuntarily raised his eyebrows: "When you give me the fruit, I will mobilize people to find it." ”
"Run away without looking for them now!" Barbarossa's one-eyed glare at Alcatio, his beard spread like an angry lion.
Unfortunately, Alcatio is not as afraid of Barbarossa as Neil in the same room, and his anger at Barbarossa is an understatement: "Then you should find the Devil Fruit faster." ”
The red beard on Barbarossa's face moved restlessly, but then it drooped down again, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay, after I give you the Devil Fruit, you can help me find someone." ”
"But!" Barbarossa said in a deep voice, "If you can't find them in Navia City, you need to use more energy to help me find the range of this cargo pirate in the East China Sea." ”
Alcatio gently touched his neatly trimmed mustache, as if he was thinking about whether the business was worth it, and after a while, he nodded slightly: "Deal!" ”
…………
Barbarossa was clearly in the habit of informing the crew of her full plans, and no one on board knew what their captain was going to do next, except for Neil, who had gone with him to meet Alcatio.
This is fatal for a team that is ready to fight to the death at any time, and is mentally on the verge of high pressure, although the strength of "Redbeard" Barbarossa is still strong, he is only a lonely monarch on the ship, and the loss of Lacey, the right and left hand that connects him with the other pirates on the ship, the pirates on the ship all feel a little confused and panicked about the future.
Even a pirate who licks blood with a knife doesn't want to die in vain.
When Barbarossa got on board, he ran to the captain's room, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and no one on board dared to disturb him at this time, so many pirates ran to Neil to find out.
Barbarossa's deal with Alcatio is not something that cannot be said on the ship, and all the pirates have learned about it from Neil, but the most critical point is where Barbarossa is going to find the Devil Fruit, Neil is not clear.
"Didn't you ask the captain on the way back?" Felton asked with an unkind face.
Neil had a bitter face, on the way back, Barbarossa was angry with him because the deal with Alcatio was not going well, and he kept a black face, Neil was worried that it was too late for Barbarossa to vent, and he wanted Barbarossa to forget about him, how could he take the initiative to provoke the topic, he dared to ask questions, Barbarossa would definitely pick up his skin.
"Oh yes. Fuck the shit! ”
Felton scolded and walked away with a few of his men, and the other pirates gradually dispersed when they saw this.
Becker glanced at Neil, who was full of grievances, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't take it to heart, the brothers on the ship are somewhat irritable about the current situation, and the captain is angry now, even if you ask, you may not be able to ask anything, and you will be angry with the captain." ”
"Who's to say it isn't!" Neil complained excitedly, "The second mate, the old crew members who have lived on the ship for so long, don't dare to come to the captain's side at this time, but they are embarrassed to scold me, a newcomer who is not even a pirate, for not being able to get information from the captain's mouth." ”
"People are like that, it's easy to judge others, but it's hard to reflect on yourself," Becker laughed, putting his arm on Neil's shoulder and walking towards the bow of the ship, "When have you ever seen a pirate reflect on his mistakes?" ”
Neil is about 1.75 meters tall, but Becker is 1.8 meters tall, the two walk together shoulder to shoulder, Becker seems to be with a younger brother's brother, and in fact, when it comes to biological age, Neil is actually a few years older than Becker.
However, Neil and Becker did not feel uncomfortable about this, on the contrary, both of them felt that it was quite deserved, Becker was a person of three mental ages, and he was exquisite on the ship, and he could talk and laugh with the new and old pirates on the ship on weekdays, but it was much better than Neil, who could even be bullied twice on the ship.
"I really should have argued that I couldn't get on the boat," Neil said depressedly, and then felt that what he said might offend people, so he carefully glanced at Becker's face and added: "I don't mean anything else, Becker, it's just that I don't fit in with this whole ship at all, and I don't know who to talk to on the boat except you." ”
Neil and Wood are almost two extremes, although Wood is not very strong, but because of the identity of the navigator and the representative of the Buendia family, few pirates on the ship dare to provoke him for no reason, Wood is also very aware of this, so he does not flinch in the face of pirates who are afraid of being soft and afraid of hard, and his arrogant and domineering personality lets the pirates know that he is not easy to bully.
Neil doesn't understand his own advantages, maybe he was brainwashed by various legends about pirates before he got on the ship, and he seems to think that all pirates are murderous, and they will be poor and desperate if they don't agree with each other, even the guys in the kitchen are the same, and when facing the pirates on the ship, the two words of fear are almost written on his face, no wonder he is bullied.
"You're really not fit to be on a pirate ship."
Becker skillfully lit a cigarette and handed it to Neil, only to see Neil clumsily take it and take a puff, but immediately coughed because he was not used to it, Becker smiled when he saw this: "You can't even smoke, how can you blend into a pirate who smokes and drinks." ”
Neil coughed and asked, "Do you have to learn to smoke and drink before you get involved with other pirates?" ”
Becker snatched the cigarette from Neil's hand, threw it into the sea, and said: "That's not it, but it's a faster way, the pirates can only talk about those few topics, you can't do without tobacco and alcohol, you can at least have a common language with each other." ”
"So you're so proficient at smoking now, and that's because of that?" Neil joked.
"Almost." Becker sighed.
In fact, in his previous life, Becker also learned to smoke at work, he was a good student when he was a student, not to mention that cigarette money is also a relatively large cost for him who is financially restrained, he felt that this thing is not beneficial except for torturing his cardiopulmonary function and playing cool clothes to attract ignorant girls, until after work in order to shorten the distance with smoking colleagues and leaders, he began to learn this shitty thing.
The world of smokers is very strange, many times a cigarette can shorten the distance between the two, and even more, sometimes in the airport and other places, you can see a group of strangers who do not know each other but have a very tacit understanding to pass the flame in turn like passing the flame.
What's more, when you usually ask for help, it is much more natural and beautiful to drop a pack of cigarettes for dozens of yuan than to throw dozens of dollars directly.
Now Becker is in a similar situation to his previous life, he is a modern person from a society governed by the rule of law, and he can have something in common with this gang of pirates in terms of tobacco and alcohol.
Becker is not a narcissistic person, and he is not so arrogant that he thinks about going against the sky and changing the world all the time, on the contrary, he is a very adaptable person, compared to changing the environment at the beginning, he is more accustomed to adapting to the environment first, and then letting the environment adapt to him after having a certain accumulation.
