Chapter 43: A Powerful Helper
Warehouse at the Naval Base in Rogue Town.
Ten million Bailey's cash was neatly stacked in front of the pirates, making a most tempting rectangle.
In addition to Captain Smoker of the "White Smoke Pirates", more than a dozen East China Sea pirates who were either confident in force or intoxicated with greed also took over the task of intercepting and killing the naval detachment.
They were gathered in front of the big Bailey, greed and violence written naked on their faces.
"This is a deposit, and the remaining 20 million Bailey will be paid to you when the matter is completed."
Lieutenant Charles said softly, but there was a deep disdain and fierceness hidden in the depths of his eyes.
"Wait..."
"Intercepting the Navy is no small matter."
A pirate with a hideous smile on his face bargained with Charles:
"There are so many of us here, and it seems that only 30 million Bailey is not enough?!"
"No problem!"
Charles's expression remained unchanged, and without hesitation, he wrote a blank check to the pirates:
"When that happens, Major Hammer will give each of them another five million in commissions."
"As for the 30 million, let's take it as your extra bonus!"
As soon as Charles's mouth moved, the wages he gave to these pirates suddenly increased several times.
"Hahaha!"
The pirates burst out laughing with satisfaction:
"Good! The heads of the navy will be handed over to us! ”
Smoker smoked silently, not saying a word.
But the anger and repression in his heart continued to ferment with the rapid burning of the cigar and the thickening smoke.
The corners of Lieutenant Charles's mouth also quietly hooked up a sneer:
He had never been prepared to let these pirates get their hands on that money.
These scum of the weakest seas are nothing more than the wronged back-offbiters he has prepared for Major Hammer.
As long as Major Hammer's assassination plan succeeds, Charles will fool this group of weak chickens to go to the execution ground himself.
And in the midst of the laughter of a group of pirates, a discordant voice came out again:
"Then how should we divide the 30 million extra bounty?"
The atmosphere became strange again, and more than a dozen pirates looked at each other, each with a bad mood of lack of greed in their eyes.
"I'm offering the highest bounty here!"
A three-meter man with a big axe in his hand said unceremoniously: "Of course I should get more!" ”
"Hehe..."
Another pirate with a mochi body and hemp legs sneered:
"A high bounty does not necessarily mean that you are strong."
A group of pirates quarreled over the distribution of the 30 million bounty, and the warehouse, which had been quiet for a while, immediately fell into a commotion again.
Naturally, Smoker would not pay attention to this group of greedy and audacious humanoid garbage.
Until...
"Everyone!"
A pirate with a sinister smile on his face suddenly spoke up:
"I don't think the 30 million bounty is as good as that-"
"Whoever kills the navy more will take the most money!"
"Good!"
The pirates' eyes lit up, and someone chimed in:
"Just count the heads of those navy heads!"
"Whoever cuts more, who..."
Before he finished speaking, the hideous and ugly smile was completely fixed on his face.
Because he had collapsed to the ground like a dead pig.
Smoker, on the other hand, waved ten hands casually, and threw out a pool of fresh blood on the ground.
"Y-What do you want to do?!"
The other pirate pointed at Smoker with some horror.
Smoker ignored it completely, and just spat out a thick smoke ring at random.
The gloomy and grim face was shrouded in this thick smoke, and it was as terrifying as a demon.
The sound of breaking the sky resounded through the vast warehouse again, setting off a wave of whistling echoes.
"Ahh
The pirate who offered to pay the head of the navy was smashed to the ground by Smoker in a scream.
Smoker slowly withdrew his blood-stained hands and glanced coldly at the other pirates.
"That guy wants to kill us and take the money for his own!"
One of the pirates shouted in terror:
"Don't sit still!"
The remaining dozen or so pirates swallowed timidly, looked at each other again, and finally mustered up the courage to stand in front of Smoker with their respective weapons.
This sudden fire made Lieutenant Charles look a little stunned.
But Smoker didn't hesitate.
Black and white are reversed, justice is trampled, and the charm is swaggering through the market...
Smoker was already furious at such a distorted reality.
Instead of using the fruit ability, he used the most instinctive and enjoyable way of human beings, and used the strength of his body to charge the pirates.
And those self-righteous pirates are no match for Smoker, even if Smoker has not yet come up with his killer skills.
It doesn't take long...
The arrogant pirates who shouted for the Navy's head for money became disabled people who collapsed on the ground and wailed powerlessly, each soaked in large patches of scarlet blood.
Smoker stood in such a pool of blood and glanced back at Lieutenant Charles.
Charles's expression suddenly became very ugly:
Judging from the performance of the other party just now, the strength of this little-known captain of the White Smoke Pirates is far above him.
He originally wanted to find some weak chicken pirates to be the wronged leader of the "murder of the colonel of the headquarters", but he didn't expect to find a genuine hard stubble.
Seeing Smoker's bloodshot eyes, Charles's attitude softened suddenly:
"Brother, brother!"
"The commissions of those pirates are all handed over to you!"
Smoker was unmoved, refusing to stop as if he was addicted to killing.
Charles was stunned.
At this time, a herald hurriedly broke in, and regardless of the bloody and terrifying atmosphere of the scene, he opened his mouth and said to Charles:
"Lieutenant!"
"There's a fight over there in the conference room, Major Hammer, please hurry up and bring someone over to help!"
Smoker was slightly stunned, and the killing intent in his eyes decreased a lot.
"What?!"
Charles's face was instantly gloomy like water, and his mood was a hundred times more panicked than when he was forced to look at by Smoker before.
The key condition of their self-preservation plan was that Major Hammer would be able to take advantage of the other party's carelessness and successfully assassinate Colonel Smoker of the headquarters.
Major Hammer's fight with Smoker shows that the assassination plan has completely failed.
So...
They had to face an angry Nature-based Fruit Ability, Captain of the Navy Headquarters.
"Oops..."
Charles gritted his teeth and subconsciously wanted to run away.
However, Major Hammer's control over his core subordinates has always been tight and terrifying, and he has basically achieved a situation where both prosperity and loss have been achieved.
Property, family, incriminating evidence...
There were so many chips in Major Hammer's hand that Charles hesitated for a long time but still didn't have the courage to disobey Hammer's order and run away alone.
Charles secretly comforted himself in his heart:
Since Major Hammer can still fight against Nasmog, it means that the other party must have suffered a lot of injuries in the assassination, otherwise with the invincible attribute of the natural system, Major Hammer would not have the strength to send someone over to ask for support.
In this way, there is still a chance for their side to turn the tables.
“......”
Charles pondered for a moment, then finally made up his mind.
He gritted his teeth and straightened out his weapon.
Finally, something suddenly occurred to Charles again...
Then he turned his head and said to the strong, bloody and violent, unruly "sea thief":
"You come with me and kill that headquarters colonel together!"
"When the time comes, you can take as much as you want!"
......................................................
Major Hammer was in a very aggrieved situation at this time, just like the steel knife at the beginning.
He comprehensively suppressed Galen's strength, and only let this grievance come later.
The wounds on his body are constantly bleeding, his physical strength is constantly being consumed, and the sweat is quietly soaking through his clothes...
It was the first time Hammer had fought such a marathon battle.
And his opponents in the race were always unscathed and full of strength...
Hammer wanted to escape, but it was too late.
His over-exerted physical strength couldn't support him to use a high-speed movement technique like "shaving" again, and his faintly weak legs couldn't outrun the strange guy who would suddenly accelerate.
It was only at this time that Hammer, who had always regarded himself very highly, finally remembered a way to use the lives of his subordinates to fight the enemy.
But the strength of ordinary corrupt sailors is unbearable, and they can't stop Galen's sword at all.
Dusty, who had been waiting for news, also heard the fierce battle in the base, and had already led his subordinates to fight through the door, pinning down most of the troops in Major Hammer's hands.
While Hammer was struggling to support himself, he secretly hoped that his henchman, the powerful Lieutenant Charles, would come to support.
"Fatal blow!"
For the first time, Galen raised his glittering greatsword and slashed at Hammer's head.
A familiar clatter of gold and iron buzzed, and Galen's blade was blocked by Hammer.
Hammer's hands to parry Galen's greatsword trembled uncontrollably, and the muscles in his arms ached.
"Major Hammer, I'm here to support you!"
Lieutenant Charles's voice suddenly sounded on the side:
"I've also brought a powerful pirate as a helper!"
Hammer breathed a sigh of relief.
"And a helper?"
Galen's heart sank, he was only entangled with Major Hammer with his data-based body and passive blood regeneration.
It was not easy to consume Hammer's physical strength little by little, and Galen couldn't stand the other party's emergence of a "strong helper".
So, Galen followed the prestige with some apprehension...
"Hmm..."
Galen's face suddenly became very strange:
"Your helpers are really strong..."
