Chapter 68: Panic

(The winner is the king, and the request for the headquarters recommendation ticket bombing support!) ）

Although it is only near the windless zone, it is not much safer than the windless zone, even if the sea kings living on the bottom of the sea only occasionally cross the windless zone, wandering in the surrounding sea is also a disaster, and because of this, the windless zone is rarely visited, except for some savages, there are few places where civilization gathers, and the lack of supply points is not a low test for the voyage.

Barbarossa knew that he needed the best help of a navigator to get to the windless terrain safely, so although he was impatient, when he saw Becker's hesitation, he explained: "In the four seas, at every moment, there are pirates who fantasize about entering the great voyage ......and becoming famous. ”

Barbarossa let out a low laugh, as if mocking the incompetence of the pirates: "At the same time, on the Great Voyage, there are pirates who want to escape from this pirate graveyard at every moment. ”

The treasure of One Piece Roger has attracted countless pirates to the Great Voyage, including ruthless characters who don't hit the south wall and don't look back, but there are also many people who quickly regret it after being impulsive.

Not to mention anything else, the Navy Headquarters is located on the Great Route, and most of the attention of the world government is focused on the Great Route, and the naval power of the Great Passage is stronger than the navies of the Southeast, North, and West Seas combined, and the pirates are not a group of hearts, and the pirates who enter the Great Voyage not only have to face the encirclement and suppression of the navy, but also have to worry about the fire of other pirates.

For pirates who are frightened by the terrifying environment of the Great Voyage, it is not an unimaginable idea to cross the windless belt and return to the "peaceful and stable" seas, especially for a pirate group who is lucky enough to gain valuable wealth in the Great Voyage.

For example, ......, a group of pirates who got lucky enough to get a Devil Fruit.

A small fruit is worth 100 million Baileys, and this is still the lowest price, few people will be stupid enough to really sell the fruit at this price, and in the four seas, where devil fruits are even rarer, the price of devil fruits that only appear in legends in the eyes of most people will soar to an exaggerated point.

"This season is the time of the least, and if any lucky bastards can escape the Great Voyage through the windless belt, it must be at this time," Barbarossa sneered, "and they're going to choose the East China Sea!" ”

Becker nodded slowly and added: "Because the East China Sea is the weakest sea area for pirates, everyone knows that there is no weak brigade for the pirates who can enter the Great Route, even if they escape from the Great Route, they still have overwhelming strength in the face of their counterparts in the East China Sea, even the Navy." ”

Unbeknownst to Barbarossa and Becker, a few years later, a group of fish-men pirates came to the East China Sea with a similar idea.

"Even if the threat of the Sea Kings is greatly reduced, it is not impossible, and it still takes a lot of physical strength and energy to cross the windless belt, and when crossing the windless belt, it is also the weakest moment for this group of pirates," Barbarossa's intact palm subconsciously rubbed the hilt of the knife, and said with a little smugness, "At this time, it is the best chance to attack them, and they are likely to carry devil fruits on their bodies." ”

Becker nodded his head as if he had come to his senses, but in his heart he was not satisfied with Barbarossa's plan, which was similar to waiting for the rabbit.

The windless belt stretches across the East China Sea and is endless. In such a large area of sea, the chances of encountering a group of pirates who are lucky enough to pass through the windless zone safely and have a Devil Fruit in their hands are not high.

Of course, since the odds are not zero, it is still possible, but that depends on luck, but Becker has always disliked putting chances on illusory luck.

If Becker was now in charge of the ship, or if he was as loyal to Barbarossa as Lacey, he would have slapped the man who proposed the plan in the face and could not find the north, or he would have painstakingly advised Barbarossa to abandon the plan, which would have had other negative effects besides the odds.

Unfortunately, Becker was not in charge of the fleet now, and he had no idea of advising Barbarossa at all, but actively helped Barbarossa to develop a perfect sailing plan, during which he also called Quartermaster Neil and the ship's doctor Harrison to discuss the issue of supplies and medicines, and called the second mate Felton to discuss the need for replenishment.

It was impossible to hide this from the whole ship, and it didn't take long for the whole ship to know that they were going to the windless zone, and the negative effects that Becker had thought of the moment Barbarossa told him about it gradually appeared.

The pirates on board complained about this decision, and Barbarossa was carried away by hatred because of Lacey's death, and did nothing to avenge him, but the rest of the ship did not have that deep affection for Lacey.

There are also many old pirates on the ship, all of whom have heard rumors of the windless zone, and even if there are people on the ship who do not know about the windless zone, they will know it clearly after a little inquiry, but anyone who has some experience of life at sea can imagine the danger of the windless zone after hearing the description of the windless zone.

What's more, the pirates still have to merge with a group of pirates who came out of the Great Voyage, and the strength of the Pirates who have the ability to enter the Great Voyage and survive and cross the windless belt is obvious, even if they are in an untidy state, a battle with a pirate fire of this level will definitely bring a lot of casualties to the Redbeard Pirates.

If there is enough loot, then the pirates of the Redbeard Pirates can also tolerate it if they can "throw their heads and spill their blood" for the spoils, but knowing that the most valuable loot, the Devil Fruit, is a predetermined reward for the Buendia family to find someone, and all the pirates on the ship have no chance of profit, the members of the pirates are naturally resentful of Barbarossa's decision.

Of course, there are loyal people among the pirates, but how many of them will give their loyalty to a tyrant who is irascible and irritable, and will not be merciless in killing his own people?

The people on the ship gradually began to be passive and slack, Becker found out early, but he also turned a blind eye and did not do anything offensive until this situation was discovered by Barbarossa, and he mercilessly executed the two old pirates who took the lead in laziness, and the people on the ship were taken by Barbarossa's cruel methods, so they became active, but the people on the ship were more resentful of Barbarossa.

If Barbarossa was a tyrant in the eyes of the pirates on the ship, he was brutal but because of his great power, he could bring victory and enough spoils to his men, and he had a loyal courtier to take care of his internal affairs, which made people feel awe-inspiring and fearful.

But now, Barbarossa has evolved into a cage-free beast in the hearts of the pirates on the ship, equally ferocious and powerful, but like a beast, it only has bloodthirsty desires and blind aggressiveness, bringing victory and loot to the pirates on the ship, but the constant threat of death, and Lacey, the cage that holds the beast in Barbarossa's heart, is gone, and now the attitude of most of the pirates on the ship towards Barbarossa has become disgust mixed with fear.

If it weren't for Barbarossa's previous prestige, the pirates on board would probably have mutinied.
