Volume 2: The First Knife in the East China Sea Chapter 52 Drunken Life and Dream Death (I)
Chapter 52: Drunken Life and Dreams of Death (I)
When Felton and the others saw that their "spoils" were destroyed, they all glared angrily at Becker, the initiator, and Becker looked back coldly without showing weakness.
Felton had a shallow wound on his left cheek that was bleeding, but he didn't care, and strode up to Becker, staring at Becker with bloodshot eyes, and his nose almost touched Becker's: "Who told you to kill her?" ”
Felton didn't know how long it had been since he brushed his teeth, there was a foul smell in his mouth, Becker tilted his head slightly to avoid his breath, but his mouth said without showing weakness: "I occupied this tavern, according to the rules, I am responsible for the territory, this woman came to me, I have the final say on whether to kill her or not." ”
"How dare you talk to me like that?" Felton was furious, poked Becker's chest hard with his finger and said, "Don't think that the captain values you, you will get carried away, I am the second officer on the ship, and you rookie on the ship have to listen to me!" ”
Becker's eyes narrowed a little dangerously, and the corners of his mouth pulled up, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile: "On the ship, I only listen to the captain, and the captain says that there will be a banquet, and I will not let anyone destroy the wine here, whether it is a runaway townsman or a reckless pirate." ”
Felton laughed angrily: "Aren't you afraid that I'm not happy? ”
"I only care if the captain is happy."
Becker glanced into the room, and stood faintly in a semi-encircled posture, while looking at his own pirates with bad intentions, and said disdainfully: "Why second mate?" Are your people going to do it with me? If you want to fight, go out and fight, clean up these few wastes and spoil the wine in the house, and I will be reprimanded by the captain, which is not worth it. ”
Several pirates used to have blood concentrated in their lower bodies, but it seems that none of the blood has returned to the brain at this time, and the brain is unable to leak. After the anger of the desire, one person heard Becker's words and became even more angry, and pulled out the scimitar on his waist with a "swish".
The little sanity that finally remained reminded him of the pirates' order to prohibit private fighting, this man just drew his sword, and did not do it immediately, after all, Becker, as a trainee navigator, is not a rookie who can be easily bullied, and more importantly, the "captain" in Becker's mouth - Barbarossa's brutality and terror are an indelible shadow in the heart of any member of the Redbeard Pirates. Worms on the brain, they will not forget the horror of Barbarossa.
Becker also sneered and put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and Ah Jin stood silently behind Becker with a solid iron rod.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the tavern had become tense, Harden couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly inserted between Becker and Felton, separated them, and stammered: "Great, everyone is a brother in the same boat, why, why do you want to do it for a dead woman and woman, think, want to find a woman, no, there are not many in the town, is it?" ”
"Who's a brother to this little bastard?" One of the pirates cursed.
"Becker, he, he just listened to the captain's orders, if the wine here is destroyed, the ship and the captain will be angry, the captain's temper is known and known, and everyone will suffer when the time comes." Harden persuaded as a peacemaker.
Felton didn't speak, as the second mate, he had to think more than the other pirates, and he had to be more rational, Barbarossa was in a bad mood on the ship before, he knew that if he really broke the wine here, Barbarossa would definitely be angry, and he would definitely suffer as the one who provoked the fight, he was not the ship's doctor Harrison, nor was he Navigator Wood, his position on the ship was not irreplaceable, he was not Reis, he could persuade Barbarossa to be angry and stay in the Redbeard Pirates for a long time, The more he became aware of Barbarossa's moodiness, and he saw more of Barbarossa's tendency to kill his crew members over trivial matters.
Felton knew Becker's skills, and also knew that Barbarossa was disgusted with Wood, so he compared Becker, who was also proficient in navigation, and it was not cost-effective to risk angering Barbarossa and Becker to fight, it was better to continue to go to other places to grab things and find women, he already had a retreat in his heart, but Becker's attitude made him a little unable to get off the stage, after all, there were still a few henchmen who followed him in the tavern, and simply retreating would greatly reduce his prestige in the hearts of several people.
Felton glanced at Becker, he didn't know why Becker, who had always been exquisite, suddenly looked unreasonable, but honest people are the most bottomless, in the same way, a person suddenly became tough, and it also made people mutter, so he found a soft persimmon and said to Harden: "Stammer, you are really getting more and more mixed, and now follow behind a rookie's ass all day long, wipe their butts." ”
Harden smiled awkwardly and said, "They're all companions on the boat." ”
"You're glad this is the tavern," Felton ignored Harden's whispered excuse, deliberately glancing around, and then said to Becker, "Captain's words saved your life." ”
After speaking, Felton exaggerated his throat, spit on Becker's vamp, and after seeing Becker raise his feet to dodge, he sneered: "Becker, Ah Jin, you two will be careful on the boat in the future, don't drink too much and fall into the sea." ”
Seeing that Becker did not react, as if he had relented, Felton greeted several of his henchmen and left the tavern with a group of unwilling pirates.
Harden looked at the expressionless Becker, and then at Felton's disappearing figure, hesitated, accused Becker, and hurriedly caught up with Felton, who was Harden's top boss after all, and Harden was worried about offending the other party completely.
Several people left one after another, and suddenly only Becker and Ah Jin were left in the tavern.
Becker let out a sigh of relief and went to the bar to pour himself a glass of wine, and when Arkin walked to the bar, he poured another glass for the other party.
"Thank you for being on my side just now." Becker handed the glass with the whiskey poured over to Akindaw.
Becker can only barely gain a foothold in the Redbeard Pirates now, and it may be good to mix among the rookie pirates, but compared with the second mate Felton who has been on the ship for many years, he is still an out-and-out rookie, both in terms of connections and qualifications are far inferior to the other party, standing on Becker's side and going against Felton is obviously a stupid move, even Harden, who is quite righteous and has some seniority on the ship, does not dare to do this kind of thing, Akin, a rookie pirate, just dared to stand with Becker, no matter what, Becker should also say thanks.
Ah Jin took the wine with a calm face: "I said, I owe you a life." ”
Becker glanced at Ah Jin, saw that he was serious, and was a little surprised in his heart, the era in which Becker lived, let alone promises, the contract written in black and white stipulated that as long as there are benefits, they can be used as toilet paper, and people who do what they say and promise are rarer than giant pandas, Becker didn't expect to see a person like Ah Jin on a pirate ship.
Becker was a little moved, and toasted Ah Jin with a glass of wine, this is on the pirate ship, as mentioned above, Felton has connections and qualifications, and he is ruthless, and offending each other with Becker, who has just gained a foothold on the ship, is really risking his life, Felton may not be able to help Becker for the time being, but it does not mean that he cannot help Ah Jin.
Becker didn't expect that he was just pulling it casually and didn't take any risks, but Ah Jin really kept his promise and wanted to repay the grace of saving his life.
(Recently, I went on a business trip, I thought it would be over in two or three days at most, but I didn't expect it to drag on for nearly a week, I didn't bring a notebook, and I didn't have enough to change my clothes. )
