Chapter 136: Spoils of War
Since the beginning of the era of pirates, countless people have rushed to go to sea for their dreams.
The number of pirates has skyrocketed.
Among them, there are many pirates who are really going for the big secret treasure, but more of them are pirates who take advantage of the situation to do evil.
They burn, kill and loot, not for dreams, just to make their lives better.
As a result, many of the traditions and rituals among the pirates gradually faded into obscurity.
The solemnity and sense of ceremony shown by Brooke before joining the group is rare in the current era.
At least in Brooke's time, such an act was necessary, and in a sense sacred.
That's right.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is sacred.
Because, from Brooke's standpoint, this is undoubtedly an oath.
"I'm Brooke who died and only had bones left, and my head has a small price, known as Nose Song Brooke, with a bounty of 30 million Bailey."
"In the past, he was the head of a certain country's escort group, and later joined the Rumba Pirates, as a captain's acting part-time musician and swordsman, and he was proficient in speed sword flow."
"From today onwards, my life will be handed over to Maude, the captain of the Maud Pirates, and I will not hesitate to break my bones, yo ho ho."
After taking the oath of membership in a fairly formal manner, Brooke let out his signature laugh.
Such a serious and solemn attitude made Maud a little uncomfortable, but he also saw the unique taste of the previous era from Brooke.
"Welcome."
Maud lifted Brooke up.
At this point, the Maude Pirates have ushered in a new member.
"Yo ho ho, although my current bounty is only 30 million, I will never hold you back!"
Brooke picked up his hat and put it on his head with a solemn expression.
Before Maud invited him, he didn't know the names of Maude's people, let alone the bounty.
Now, he knew that his captain was a sea thief with a bounty of 360 million.
In this comparison, his bounty of 30 million looks a bit pitiful.
Maude smiled when she heard this, but didn't pay much attention to it.
Lafayette, Jim, Philo, and even Bailey, who had reverted back to his original form, all greeted the new Brooke.
It was their actions that made Brooke distinguish the difference between Rowe and Lafayette in an instant.
Originally, Brooke thought that Luo and Bebo were also members of the team.
Now, it seems, this is not the case.
After solving Brooke's joining the group, Maud finally turned her attention to Perona.
Because of Rab's story, Perona's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she looked quite pitiful.
At this time, seeing Maude's gaze sweeping over, Perona's body trembled slightly, and fear resurfaced from her face.
Maud looked at Perona with a blank face, thinking about what to do.
"Don't kill me!"
Perona, who was kneeling on the ground, felt the crisis coming to her face, and said timidly: "I, I'm useful, I can sweep the floor, cook, do laundry, and many, many things......"
In front of Maude, she clutched the tsundere attribute to death, for fear that a trace of it would be leaked out, and then it would cause ruin.
“……”
Maud didn't speak.
Next to him, Brooke, who had just joined the Pirates, stopped talking, although he was beaten up by Perona just now, he had a good impression of Perona.
Of course, it was not because of Perona's gender and appearance, but because of Perona's heartache just now.
He had the heart to help Perona say a few words, but because he was a newcomer to the Pirates, there were some things that could not be overcome.
Compared to Brooke's worries, Lafayette and Jim have a colder attitude, and in their opinion, as long as Perona's identity is still an enemy, there is no need for pity.
Philo crept up behind Maude, and then reached out and tugged at the hem of Maude's clothes.
Maud looked back at Philo and was stunned to find that Philo's eyes were lowered, and he habitually looked at the floor, while the crow mask he had worn on his face was gone.
On another look, the crow mask was snatched away by Bailey's little slippery head that had changed back to its original form.
In the whole team, Bailey likes to play tricks on Philo, and occasionally on a whim, he will snatch Philo's crow mask.
A few times it went even further, and the creature was holding a crow mask and facing Philo's face as a smart operation - putting on the mask, removing the mask, putting on the mask, and removing the mask.
"Pele's ......"
Maud first glared at Bailey, who was fiddling with the crow mask, and then looked at Philo, who was a little twisted with his head bowed behind him.
Perhaps sensing the sight, Philo slowly raised his head, met Maude's gaze, and whispered, "Brother Maude, can you ...... Spare her......"
Philo, who wears a mask, will call Maude by her first name, while Philo, who takes off the mask, will put the word "big brother" after her name.
"Uh, give me a reason."
Maude looked at Philo in surprise, whose face was slightly flushed, but she didn't expect Philo to intercede for Perona.
"I think...... She's not bad. ”
Philo then gave the reason for his plea.
Maud couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
He liked Philo's temperament very much, and quietly concealed his killing intent towards Perona, and then raised his hand and touched Philo's head, thinking that it was really a crow mask that felt better.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to her."
"Hmm."
Philo breathed a sigh of relief.
Also relieved was Perona.
She gave Philo a grateful look, then looked at Maude cautiously.
The outside world is rife with Maude's brutal and cold-blooded, simply put, a cold-blooded butcher.
But after a few contacts, it is really terrible, but it is not as rumored by the outside world......
After the life-and-death crisis, Perona's body and bones softened slightly.
She didn't rejoice too early, she thought about the future human situation, and couldn't help curling up, holding her legs and looking helpless.
Maud doesn't think about Perona's feelings.
Strictly speaking, he can spare Perona's life, but he will not let Perona go directly.
With the heart that Luo took out of Perona's body, Maud can completely make Perona an obedient tool person.
Subsequently, Maud began to lay out the order.
First of all, it is necessary to liquidate the loot inside the castle.
After that, it is necessary to sweep away the outsiders on the island ship.
This terrifying three-masted ship is a relatively rare large island ship, and Maud will not give up easily.
Especially in such a perennially dense foggy area, there are terrifying three-masted ships, and there is no need to say much about safety.
If necessary, consider this place as a base.
The task of counting the loot was left to Philo.
The mopping mission was taken over by Lafayette and Jim.
Maud instructed Bailey to call Jaya, who was left on the ship, and then went with Luo to the huge freezer inside the castle.
In front of you, there are nearly 100 corpses, as well as the corpse of the demon Oz, who was once known as a thief.
Maud looked at the corpse of Oz, a twinkle in her eyes.
In addition to these corpses in the freezer, the corpses on the island that were solved by Luo can also be recycled.
"It is necessary to go to the city ......"
If you think of the Dreadful Three-Mag as a stronghold, you will inevitably need a group of zombie guards.
At the same time, a group of zombies who take on the role of human beings are also needed.
However, everything is in a hurry, so you can only figure it out slowly.
Maude suppressed the thought and turned to look at Luo beside him.
"I'll be waiting for you in Chambord in a year's time."
“……”
Luo was silent for a while, and said calmly: "What is the big event you are talking about?" ”
"At that point, you'll know."
