Chapter 124: The Green Pirates
Speaking of which, compared with ordinary merchant ships, many pirate ships have a characteristic, that is, the ratio of length to width is slightly higher, and the ship type is more narrow and long, so that the speed is often much faster than that of bulky merchant ships, which is convenient for pirates to take over and plunder.
And this pirate ship, which hangs far behind the Drummond family's caravan, undoubtedly takes this to the extreme. However, while the sensitivity is higher, the ship's carrying capacity will undoubtedly be reduced considerably. For example, at this moment, it is clear that the pirates outside the cabin add up to twenty or thirty people, but the deck is basically full......
"Captain Green! The caravan in front of us is starting to slow down, what should we do, should we slow down as well? ”
On the watchtower, a tall, thin man in a blue turban shouted to the lower deck after looking ahead for a moment.
"Nonsense, of course you have to slow down, otherwise what if you are found out in advance?!" The reply was a sturdy bald man, with a giant axe pinned to his waist, a scar left by a bullet on his face, and an extremely fierce appearance, at this moment he raised his head and roared angrily: "Are you a pig brain, and you have to ask Lao Tzu for such a simple matter?" ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, Captain!" The tall and thin man was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized and shrunk his neck back.
The bald man retracted his gaze with a cold snort, he looked at the fleet in the distance in front of him, and said hatefully: "Damn, what a bad thing, Lao Tzu Green was also a famous sea thief in the South China Sea, if it wasn't for his bad luck this year, how could he be so troublesome to deal with a caravan!" ”
The subordinates next to him were all stunned when they heard this, and they didn't dare to speak casually, only a mustache wearing a monocle standing nearby, after hesitating for a while, they still helplessly comforted: "Boss Green, isn't this also a helpless thing, who made those two boys too perverted, and the guy at the head is even more a monster, and it's normal that we can't beat it." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, the bald man's face was even more ugly, he squinted at the mustache, and said almost word for word: "You mean...... I fled to the Great Voyage because I couldn't beat those two boys......"
"No, it's not, Boss Green, you're mistaken!"
The bald man's eyes were terrifying, and the mustache almost didn't scare his pants, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "I didn't mean that, isn't this the enemy dark and I am clear, the other party is only two people, and we used to have a large fleet of five ships, isn't this always been attacked by them and suffered heavy losses...... That, that word, how do you say it......"
Under the cold gaze, the mustache scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a long time before his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a hammer palm: "By the way, it's a strategic shift!" ”
“……”
The bald man stared at him coldly for a while, before revealing an expression that he knew each other, but even so, he still noticed that the atmosphere on the ship was a little awkward, and even he always felt that in the past few days, the eyes of his subordinates looking at him seemed to contain much less awe than before.
And all this has to start from a few months ago.
The bald man named Green, nicknamed "Blood Axe", is one of the few sea pirates in the South China Sea with a bounty of more than 10 million, and the Green Pirates led by him have five ships, adding up to six or seven hundred people, and can be said to be the absolute overlord in the sea area where they are often active.
Just half a year ago, after Green led his subordinates to loot a small town on an island, when he carried out a bloody massacre as usual, he accidentally let two little children hiding in the forest escape, because the two little guys looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, so he and his subordinates did not take it seriously.
However, two months later, when Green was about to forget about it, a bloody revenge came like a nightmare......
First of all, a ship he sent to plunder the merchant ship was attacked, and more than 100 people on the whole ship died cleanly, and then his deputy captain who went to the land to drink and have fun was chopped into several pieces, and when Green gathered all his subordinates together in a panic, the other party came directly to the door without fear, and he found out that the two teenagers who had escaped before had secretly attacked.
As soon as the enemy saw the enemy's eyes, Green immediately roared and ordered his subordinates to rush forward, trying to kill the two little bastards as quickly as possible and avenge the slain subordinates.
Outcome...... The direction of the battle situation made Green lose his eyes, he never expected that the kid who was the leader, who didn't know what shit luck he had, actually became a Devil Fruit ability, and it was quite a powerful ability, he could easily absorb the weapons of the Green Pirates and turn around to deal with them.
In this way, the Green Pirates almost collapsed at the touch of a button, and it didn't take long for more than half of the casualties to be killed, Green was almost not scared, he couldn't even take care of his flagship, and fled with a group of subordinates in a speedboat.
The danger is gone, but the number of pirates has also shrunk sharply, and there are only about 30 people together with a few cadres, so Green sadly found that he seems to have become the most fishy pirate group in the history of entering the great voyage...... Even if you lose all your wealth and want to plunder a caravan for supplies, you have to weigh it for a long time......
For example, the one they were following now, a few minutes earlier than they had come down from the Upside-Down Landscape, Green, who was already in a state of hungry wolf, immediately set his sights on him. However, judging from the scale alone, the number of the opponent's guards is definitely not small, plus the rows of artillery that are exposed outside, although it is very embarrassing, Green still gave the order to follow first, and then wait for the other party to disperse before waiting for the opportunity to attack.
"Wait, it's just a caravan......"
Under the gaze of everyone on the deck, the bald man licked the corners of his mouth, and a hint of hideousness appeared in his narrowed eyes, "As long as the number of people is not so big, I will let you know what is called despair......"
……………………
Compared to the East China Sea, the climate of the Great Voyage can be described as unpredictable, one second the sky is clear, the next moment it can turn into a heavy downpour, sometimes just for the falling crystal snow to stretch out the palm of the hand, only to have to hold the hail swollen arm in pain three seconds later.
Many crew members with physical weaknesses contracted diseases under this degree of tossing, and even old drivers like Xia Nuo almost overturned, probably when squatting in the toilet on the second floor in the evening, because they were addicted to the logbook until their legs were numb, and then they were almost blown into the pit by the sudden wind and rain that broke through the window......
There are people who are not suitable for nature, but the time at sea always passes so quietly that it is difficult for people to perceive. Just when Xano fully understood why so many people from all over the world had died in the climate of the Great Voyage, four days had passed in the blink of an eye, and in the early morning dawn, the caravan's destination, Dulu Island, one of the islands at the beginning of the seven routes, had finally appeared far away on the horizon.
