Chapter Fifty-Six: The One Who Can Be Beaten
Fifteen minutes or so before the appointed time, Maud had already arrived at the night bar.
When we arrived at the bar, the wolf rat was ready.
He looked at Maude, who was heavily armed, and suddenly felt the urge to put on a weapon.
"Go?"
Maude asked.
The wolf rat nodded and got up from his seat.
Inside the bar, Tatam takes off his uniform, revealing a striking muscle.
He slipped on a black short-sleeved shirt and walked out of the bar.
"Tatam?"
Maud watched Tatam's actions in confusion.
Seeing this, the wolf mouse explained: "It was I who asked for it, and with Tatam taking care of it, I could let go and attract firepower, of course, it cost money." ”
"That's right."
Maud glanced at Tatam's rock-like bulging muscles, and thought to himself that Tatam's physical skills should not be weak.
In the small and inconspicuous bar, there are masters such as wolf rats and Tatam.
On the contrary, in the noisy places on the streets outside, there are some pirates who are not very strong, but they are quite flamboyant.
In contrast, the wolf rat and Tatam are low-key and introverted, but they are more like people from the underground world.
The wolf rat didn't think about spending money to hire Tatam to take care of it, and it still had to pay an IOU.
is mainly due to the psychological shadow of Maude, with Tatam by his side, he can always feel much more at ease.
The alleyways were silent in the middle of the night, and the sound of rats scurrying by could be faintly heard.
Maud and the three of them left the night bar and walked down the alleyway towards the docks.
..........
Every group of pirates who arrive in Mad Hatter will leave a team to guard the ship before going ashore.
This is the norm.
After being seriously wounded in the Tomahawk Tavern, Abbey did not return to the ship, but went straight to the largest inn in town to recuperate.
In this situation, he dared to divide his forces into two forces, so it can be seen that Abbey has some shortcomings in terms of personality.
In contrast, Gatzt, who stayed honestly on the ship to recuperate, seemed much safer.
Before his injuries healed, he concentrated all his forces on the ship.
Sharp Bull Pirate Ship, Captain's Room.
The candles were lit up, and Kazt lay on his back on the bed, his expression cold.
His body was almost covered in white bandages.
The cupboard next to the bed was piled with medicine jars, and the cabin was filled with the strong smell of medicine.
In that day's battle, Abbe's [Speed Sword] obviously had the upper hand, not only poking out a lot of blood holes in the lower half of Kazt's body, but also taking care of the upper half of his body.
Ordinary people are poked like this, and a few blood holes alone should fall down and wait for death.
And Gatzt relied on the fruit ability to resist Abbey's countless attacks, and immediately found the opportunity, and only used [Black Hoof] to make Abbey lose his ability to fight.
However, he also lost his strength due to excessive blood loss.
This evenly matched and lose-lose battle was seen by some passers-by pirates who were not afraid of death.
Compared to Gatzt, who was poked miserably by Abbe with a foil, the boy named Usopp before dodged Abbe's stormy stab and slapped Abbe.
It can only be said that there is harm when there is contrast.
Because of this, the name of Usopp was spread by these bystanders.
Especially in the pirate circle, whoever comes out of nowhere is often their drunken talk.
It's like Ace, the cutting-edge pirate who made headlines two days ago, and it has directly become the main talking point in every tavern.
Moreover, stepping on and holding a handful has always been something that pirates are happy to do.
Moreover, one of the ways for the new to rise to the top quickly is to defeat the well-known "old-timers" with their own hands.
Under the influence of this peculiar trend, what happened that day in the Tomahawk Tavern naturally became a classic example of stepping on and handing.
Fearless fellows, in drunken conversations, wantonly belittle the long-established old pirates like Abbe and Gatzt, and then use this to raise Usopp's reputation.
Aside from the mainstream trend of respecting strength, this kind of behavior can also relatively satisfy their spiritual needs.
As for how badly the uplifted Usopp will end up falling, it's not something they will think about.
Kazt has long been accustomed to this kind of atmosphere, because he is also stepping on the old-timers all the way to get to where he is today.
But if your face is pressed to the ground like this, how can you feel comfortable?
Due to Kazt's mood, the members of the Sharp Bull Pirates did not dare to touch their heads.
As one of the cadres, Wells naturally did the same, but he shouldered the responsibility of reporting, and he became the person who had the most contact with Gatzt during this time, except for the ship doctor.
Wells pushed the door open and walked into the captain's room, and under the expressionless gaze of Gatzt, he came to the bedside.
Kazt looked at Wells and asked in a cold voice, "Is there a situation?" ”
"After stepping up patrols, the number of secret sentries sent by other pirate groups has obviously decreased, and the location has basically been figured out, whether to ...... them or not"
Wells made a neck-cutting motion.
Kazt's expression was cold, and he said, "No, but if you cross the line, then you don't need to be polite." ”
"Understood."
Wells nodded, and did not stay long after the debriefing, leaving the captain's room to continue to stick to his post.
Kazt stared coldly at the closed door and snorted coldly.
The previous plundering of the Platinum armed merchant ships certainly brought a certain degree of fame to Gatzt, as well as a lot of profits.
But at the same time, it will also attract red-eyed peers.
After all, Platinum is one of the well-known chambers of commerce in the West Sea, and just eating a sum is hundreds of millions of income.
Before they were injured, this group of peers could only envy, envy and hate.
After being injured, they surrounded them like jackals that smelled blood.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if the Sharp Bull Pirates have suffered heavy losses recently, they still have enough deterrent power.
That's the root of the High Bounty Pirates.
..........
Dock warehouse.
Maud and the others hid in the shadows that the light could not shine on, and watched the sharp cow pirate ship moored in the dock from a distance.
From this vantage, you can barely see the members patrolling back and forth on the deck of the Sharp Bull Pirate Ship, which are distributed in almost every corner, forming a tight cordon.
After observing for a while, the wolf mouse said in a low and solemn voice: "It's so tightly armed, how should we do it?" ”
Maud didn't speak, but carefully observed the arming on the deck, thinking about the distance between it and the pirate ship.
Staring at the direction of the fluttering flag of the pirate ship, Maude suddenly said, "Hit the birds." ”
"What?"
The wolf rat didn't know so he looked at Maud.
However, he saw Maud unleash the spear behind him and set up the muzzle of the gun to aim at the deck of the Sharp Ox Pirate Ship.
The wolf rat immediately understood Maude's intentions.
He knew that Maude's marksmanship was good, but this distance had exceeded the effective distance of the smoothbore gun, and without the blessing of other external factors, no matter how good the marksmanship was, the hit rate would become extremely low.
In such a situation, a rash attack from a distance will only reveal the location and motives.
Despite this, the wolf rat did not make a sound warning.
Tatam glanced at Maude's smoothbore gun, and even if the barrel had been modified and lengthened, he didn't think he could do anything at this distance.
"I can't hit it."
"I can hit it."
Maude aimed his gun at the figure on the deck in the distance, and said calmly, "An elder told me that blind faith is not entirely a bad thing for gunners. ”
Feel the potential boost from the direction of the wind while taking the altitude into account.
Until the last step, there is a vague feeling of "this is it".
Instantly, Maud pulled the trigger.
Buckshot cut a straight line through the night, traversing a distance of nearly one hundred and fifty meters, and accurately hit a walking member of the Sharp Bull Pirates.
Straight to the head!
The member who was hit fell to the ground without saying a word.
The sudden change instantly made the rest of the personnel tense their nerves, and they all looked in the direction where the gunshots came.
However, nothing can be seen.
Wells, as a sniper on the ship, realized something in vain and shouted, "Find cover." ”
At the same time, the warehouse is on top.
Tatam and Wolf Rat looked at Maud in horror.
After half a ring, Tatam admired: "Awesome." ”
The wolf rat was silent.
He is well aware of the importance of a good sniper before a broadside battle at sea.
However, most of the best snipers are pirates......
