Chapter 63: Rise to Fame
Probably to thank Maud for feeding them well.
Last night's group of jackal-like pirates almost took Usopp's name to the sky when they ran to the tavern to spend money today.
What Usopp wiped out the gunslinger squad of the Sharp Bull Pirates with one shot.
What Usopp single-handedly hit the ship of the Sharp Bull Pirates and stabbed Gatzt to death with a single sword.
These words of oil and vinegar were blown out of their mouths at first.
They thought to themselves that Maud dared to go to the ship alone to destroy Gatzt and the others, but they didn't care about the property of the Sharp Bull Pirates.
So there's only one reason.
That's fame.
Therefore, after this group of jackal pirates ate and drank enough, they also took the opportunity to help Maude promote it well.
The United States said that its name, I am good, and you are good.
I hypnotized myself again, thinking that we have collected the money, and we will help you do it, so don't come to trouble us in the future.
Thanks to them, the name of Usopp, which Maude had casually reported, became a hot topic in just half a day.
Even the Tomahawk Tavern incident, which had just subsided in popularity, was re-fried.
So much so that in this remote place, Usopp's name has overshadowed Ace, who has been in the limelight recently.
And these things, Maude, who was officially grounded, knew nothing.
"Usopp? I haven't heard of a name, just such an unknown guy, and he actually killed Gatzt with a knife? ”
Inside the tavern, a bearded man who had never heard of the Tomahawk Tavern was full of surprise.
A pirate at the next table couldn't help but say something when he heard the bearded man's words.
"Even if Kazt is injured, he won't be dealt with a single sword, but the Sharp Bull Pirates are indeed planted in the hands of that guy named Usopp."
"This Usopp ...... What is the origin? ”
Hearing the words of the pirates at the next table, the bearded man was even more shocked.
He had been suppressed by the Sharp Bull Pirates, and he knew the strength of the Sharp Bull Pirates very well.
Although the ordinary crew of the Sharp Bull Pirates are not very good, such as Raglan and Gabuton, who have bounties close to 20 million, are first-class masters that should not be underestimated.
Not to mention the captain Kazit, even the famous naval colonel in the West Sea has nothing to do with Kazt.
But such a pirate group was wiped out by a young man whose name was unknown before.
The pirate at the adjacent table poured a sip of wine, and after half a sound, he said in a deep voice:
"Every year, there are always a few conspicuous guys who pop up all of a sudden, and no one knows what they are before they become famous, let alone after they become famous. Ace, isn't that the same? ”
The bearded man couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.
Truly.
That's about the case every year.
It's just that someone has harnessed the reputation of rising tides.
There are also people who can't bear the bad of fame and are swallowed up by the tide of exorbitance.
.........
Mad Hatter docks, a certain pirate ship.
In the captain's room, a man with greasy hair and triangular eyes sat on his back in a fluffy chair, his legs straddling a table full of jewels and gold.
"I just heard about Gatzt's injury a few days ago, but I didn't expect to hear the news of his death today,"
The man's body suddenly leaned forward, and the cold eyes suddenly reflected the gold and silver treasures on the table.
"Kazit, Kazit, I was thinking that I would have the opportunity to cooperate with you again."
"I didn't expect you to be planted in the hands of a new talent."
"Usopp...... Hmph, looks like you need to pay attention. ”
The man slowly closed his eyes.
The aftermath of the looting of the armed merchant ships of Polkin some time ago still lingers at this moment.
If there is another suitable opportunity, like this rare big game, the man will say that he will do it again.
"Captain Dennis, no!"
Suddenly, the door was slammed open.
One of his men rushed in in a panic.
The man known as Dennis opened his triangular eyes suddenly, his expression suddenly cold, and without saying a word, he pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger.
Bang –
Buckshot flew over the man, punching a hole in the wall on one side.
Then, Dennis said unkindly: "Next time, I will shoot you with one shot." ”
"Yes, yes......!"
The subordinate broke out in a cold sweat and struggled to stabilize his emotions, and then he trembled and said, "Dan, Captain Dennis, Rafay, Rafayette, Te, Lafayette are on board!" ”
"I can't even speak clearly, what's the use of asking you?"
Dennis frowned, resisting the urge to take out the man with a single shot.
"That's it......"
The subordinate was about to explain, but was interrupted by a rhythmic tapping sound behind him.
He instantly realized that it was Lafayette who had come behind him, and his face showed a look of horror in vain.
"...... so soon"
A line of blood suddenly appeared on his neck, and his thoughts came to an abrupt halt.
Laugh at......
The frightened and stunned head fell to the floor.
With a thud, his head fell to the ground and rolled forward, pulling a bright and glaring trail of blood behind him.
Lafayette lifted his cane and flicked the headless corpse lightly.
The corpse was forced and fell to the side.
Then, Lafayette's blood-red mouth was slightly raised, and he smiled at Captain Dennis, who suddenly stood up.
"The oil-haired Dennis with a bounty of 36 million has been famous, and ......"
With that, Lafayette bowed slightly to Dennis, who looked stunned.
Dennis leaned behind him with his right hand, grasped the hilt of the knife, and looked at Lafayette coldly.
"It turned out to be you."
As he spoke, Dennis glanced at the decapitated corpses of his men, his face became increasingly difficult to look at, and he said in a deep voice: "There is no grudge between us. ”
"That's true."
Rafaite nodded his head.
Dennis's face suddenly became more and more ugly, and he said, "Then you...... And what does that mean? ”
Lafayette smiled when he heard this: "Killing for no reason is the meaning of violence, and isn't this kind of behavior what we people have been doing?" ”
"You're ......!"
Dennis jerked out his machete.
In vain, he realized a particularly terrible trait that Lafayette possessed.
Seeing Dennis draw his knife, Lafayette put his crutches sideways in front of him, and said lightly: "That's right." ”
Five minutes later.
Lafayette sat on top of Dennis's bloodied corpse.
A large amount of blood flowed from under Dennis's body, spilling over Lafayette's black-soled leather shoes.
"That's what you think too, right?"
"Usopp ......"
There was a look of anticipation in Lafayette's eyes.
After muttering a few words to himself, he got up, stepped over the blood on the ground, and walked to the door, leaving a trail of bloody footprints.
All along, Lafayette didn't look at the treasures on the table.
When he stepped off Dennis's pirate ship, the time that had stood still on the deck began to move again.
Dennis's men, who didn't know why, suddenly came back to their senses.
After discovering that Dennis had died in the captain's quarters, a new round of [seizure of power] suddenly began on the ship.
........
Three days later.
On the calm sea, two warships were moored.
On the lookout at the top of the mast, several navy officers held binoculars and watched the sea situation in the distance.
Suddenly, a navy spotted the target they were crouching in, the Sharp Bull Pirates.
"Colonel Robbie, target spotted at nine o'clock!"
