Chapter 64: The Fruit of 100 Million (I)

After three days, the body of a dry pirate in a dark alley was found, and even though there were often violent cases in the slums, it was still a big deal to kill so many people at once, and it looked like a pirate fire, so the news quickly reached Barbarossa's ears.

As Becker expected, Barbarossa, who learned of Lacey's death, fell into a furious outburst.

The ship's navigator Becker, second mate Felton, the ship's doctor Harrison, and quartermaster Neil all stood tremblingly in the captain's room—Becker, of course.

In a fit of rage, Barbarossa slashed the desk in front of him with a sharp scimitar, and after a while, the solid wood desk was chopped into a pile of broken wood that could be chopped.

"Find, find me!" Barbarossa's face was hideous, he gritted his teeth, and almost a cold order popped out from between his teeth, "Even if you turn over Navia City, you must find out the group of pirates who killed Lacey for me!" ”

Becker, Felton, and Harrison did not speak, and although all three were unimpressed by Barbarossa's order, they were all wise not to refute it at the moment of the other's anger, but Neil, who had his roots in the local area and was sent by Buendia, had to endure his fear to remind Barbarossa when he heard this order.

"Ship, Captain," Neil whispered, staring down at the upper of his shoe, "it's been days since the co-captain was killed, and those pirates know your prestige, and I'm afraid they've all run away." ”

Neil swallowed, and even without looking, he could feel Barbarossa's fierce gaze wandering over him, like a lion looking at an antelope trapped in a cage, as if considering where to take it.

"And, and those pirates may be trying to provoke you, they know they're no match for you, and they want you to do something irrational," Neil said in a hurry, "If we look for people in the city with great fanfare, we will definitely attract the attention of the navy and the kingdom army, and then we will let these murderers of the deputy captain get their wish?" ”

Barbarossa still didn't withdraw his fierce gaze, he was silent for a long time, until Neil was sweating, and then he smiled and said, "So what? ”

"Are you afraid of attracting the attention of the Navy and delaying your future? Well? Am I right, the 'noble' lord from the Buendía family? Barbarossa said sarcastically, and gradually approached Neil.

Neil is certainly not a nobleman, everyone in this room knows that he is just a literate and honest and obedient unlucky guy found by the Buendía family from the subordinate chamber of commerce, and like countless ordinary little people, even if he is full of grievances and reluctance in the face of power, he still has to live and be thrown into the middle of a gang of pirates, serve them as quartermasters, and act as the eyeliner of the Buendía family.

Barbarossa's anger and murderous intent were almost unconcealed, Neil trembled like chaff, barely raised his head and looked at Barbarossa in fear, and said, "Ship, captain, ......." ”

"Captain!" Becker suddenly said with a solemn face, "I don't think Neil meant that. ”

Barbarossa's murderous gaze fell on Becker, Felton gloated at him secretly, and Neil, who was still trembling, looked gratefully at Becker, who had cleared the siege.

"What do you want to say? My dear navigator? Barbarossa said this, but no one in the room suspected that he would swing his knife and slash at Becker, who had not answered well, in the next moment.

"Attracting the navy is small, if this leads to the inability to catch the murderer of the deputy captain, it is a big deal," Becker was so deep into the play that for a moment he thought that Lacey could not kill himself, "If that group of pirates has already run away, then our move is useless, and it is not convenient to find someone in the city with our identity, even if we can find someone in the slums, what about other places?" What's more, even if the whole ship of people is scattered in the slums, there will not be many places, and letting the local forces help us is the best plan, and when the time comes, find people, and then we will take revenge with our own hands! ”

Becker gritted his teeth at the end, as if he really didn't share the same sky as the gang that killed Lacey.

The acting skills were a bit overdone, but fortunately, the arrangements he had made before were useful, and Barbarossa never doubted him.

Barbarossa listened to Becker's words, and after a while, his face was unwilling, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Just do as you say, I'll go to Alcatio's old ghost for help." ”

"Shall I go with you?" Becker "kindly" proposed.

Barbarossa didn't know whether he was afraid of Becker's influence on the ship, and didn't want him to contact the Buendia family, or simply felt that he didn't need it, and didn't agree to Becker's proposal, but just grabbed Neil's collar, picked up Neil, who was very thin compared to Barbarossa, and strode out of the captain's room.

Becker felt a little regretful in his heart, but he didn't worry about Tony and the others, several of them left Navia City by boat yesterday, and before leaving, Becker also instructed Tony to return to Momiji Village and start recruiting people to prepare to expand the fleet.

When Barbarossa left the captain's room, the three people who were still in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and the ship's doctor, Harrison, took out a flask from his arms and poured a sip of wine, snorting the wine and complaining to the two: "The captain left too quickly, and he didn't tell us what to do next." ”

"Let's guard the ship first, who knows what the purpose of the group that attacked the deputy captain is, what to do if they come to rob the boat." Becker said lightly, "Even the deputy captain let them kill, really do what the captain said, scatter all the manpower into the slums to find people, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the open, how many people are not enough for them to kill, now the situation is unknown, everyone has a common enemy, it is not too much to be careful." ”

Harrison nodded in agreement, and then took another sip of wine: "This time thanks to you for stopping the captain, otherwise it would be as you said, I, an alcoholic who has not used knives and guns for many years, will be miserable when I encounter the enemy alone." ”

Becker glanced at Felton, and then said: "This is the situation now, what is the character of our captain, you should know better than me for so many years on the ship, there used to be a deputy captain to speak, now the deputy captain is gone, no matter what we had in the past, now it is better to let it go, help each other, lest the captain who is angry and ignores him treat the brothers on the ship as if he were this desk, and when he is angry, he will chop it into pieces, and then use it as firewood." ”

Felton looked at the wreckage of the desk that could burn the fire with a white face and nodded, Becker is a navigator, Harrison is a ship doctor, compared to the three people in the room, Felton has the least reliable status, and even the helmsman on the ship is actually a little more important to the voyage than him.

Becker didn't care if Felton would actually do what he said he would, but as long as he had that attitude, that was the starting point for severing Barbarossa from the rest of the crew.
