Although Steelknife gave up all his dignity and chose to run away, his escape plan was not very successful.

After all, he has a bleeding wound on his body, and his physical strength is a little exhausted, which is the end of a strong crossbow.

And the animal chasing him also has a strange acceleration skill: as long as the big sword in his hand is flashed, the speed of running can be as fast as 30% out of thin air.

The distance between the two is constantly closing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The steel knife didn't even run out of a few dozen meters, and Galen's blade almost hit the steel knife's back.

If you continue like this, you will definitely die!

Steel knives also foresaw this cruel future.

The self-proclaimed strong sea thief finally showed his weak side, and like those weaklings he had looked down on in the past, he prayed weakly in his heart for a miracle.

And at this moment, the life-saving straw that Steel Dao had in mind really appeared...

"Stop!"

The steel knife suddenly stopped, turned back to Galen and shouted:

"If you move it again, I'll blow his head off!"

Galen subconsciously retracted the big sword that was about to fall on the opponent's head, and quickly focused his eyes on the dying steel knife:

I saw that in the thick arm of the steel knife, there was already a young man at some point...

He has a moderate stature and a delicate face, and unlike the tall and strong men who are flooded in the world of pirates, he is a normal male in Galen's worldview.

The young man, dressed in a modest suit and suit, with neatly combed short blond hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked like a refined intellectual.

However, at this time, he looked extremely embarrassed, and his whole person was carried in the air by the three-meter-tall little giant steel knife, and a thick flintlock pistol was pressed against his head.

"This..."

Galen asked confusedly, "Which one is this?" ”

This street has long been reduced to a bloody battlefield, and even the sheriffs have run out, and there are still passers-by left here?

"Hostage!"

Steel Knife replied very sincerely: "The hostage I caught! ”

"Don't-Don't kill me..."

The young man was a little out of breath by the arms of the steel knife and iron, and finally raised his hand to show the camera in his hand, and finally said breathlessly:

"You can't kill me, I—I'm a reporter who came to shoot the battle scene!"

"Journalists?"

The steel knife was slightly stunned, and the ferocity on his face was unconsciously a little less:

On the sea, journalism is an enigmatic and transcendent profession.

The high-level reporters are very fast, they all have strange footwork, agility, excellent speed, excellent eyesight, and even more camera skills.

Even hundreds of millions of sea thieves can't escape the lens of these war photographers, and they will inadvertently take away the high-definition avatar and use it as the material for the bounty order.

To be able to get the close-up headposts of these fierce sea thieves in the fierce battle, how can these reporters be general?

And low-level reporters are also very open on the sea.

Although they themselves do not have particularly strong strength, they have the face to be able to travel through the four seas.

Because if a small pirate such as a steel knife wants to improve his status, he must increase his bounty; If you want to increase your bounty, you need to increase your visibility.

And the reporters who travel through various sea routes are the best way for them to publicize their martial arts and expand their fame.

Occasionally, it is a once-in-a-lifetime benefit for the little pirates.

They are all looking forward to making a few shocking big news stories under the lens of reporters.

Therefore, the steel knife has killed anyone in the East China Sea for several years, but it has never killed a reporter.

"Reporter..."

The steel knife muttered to himself, but his expression became fierce for a moment:

"Journalists can't do it, they still have to die!"

"Just move that tin can, and I'll make your head bloom!"

I'm going to hang up, what's the use of being well-known and offering a high reward?

Thinking so, the steel knife trapped the reporter's arm and tightened a little.

"So..."

Galen understood the situation in front of him, and his expression instantly became extremely flat:

"You just found a random passerby to threaten me?"

"Uh..."

Steel Dao was slightly stunned, he found that his logic did seem to be a little unreasonable...

"Haha..."

Galen took another slow step forward, and looked at the steel knife tightly with malicious eyes, his eyes full of mockery.

The steel knife was silent, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Don't move!"

Behind Galen, another deep voice suddenly sounded: "Your wife is in my hands!" ”

"What the hell?"

Galen's relaxed expression instantly froze on his face.

I saw two big-shouldered and round-waisted pirate minions one against one shoulder, and Nami, who had been captured, was unceremoniously escorted over.

They also placed a steel knife that shimmered with cold light on Nami's white and smooth neck, and the sharp edge almost cut through her faintly visible pale cyan veins.

Galen didn't speak, just looked at Nami, who was being controlled by the enemy, with a depressed gaze.

There was endless resentment in his eyes: "Why did you send it too?" ”

The pig teammates who popped up one after another greatly increased the difficulty of the game and ruined the game experience.

Galen was a little overwhelmed.

Nami lowered her head a little embarrassed:

Her combat power is not too strong, and she is no match for those strong and powerful pirates.

In order to save the middle-aged sheriff, Nami recklessly broke into the center of the enemy line, but it was not so easy to rush out head-on.

Later, the middle-aged man was indeed successfully saved, but she herself became a prisoner of the enemy due to physical exhaustion...

"Hahaha!"

Steel Knife laughed out loud with joy: "Well done! ”

The steel knife threw the reporter in his hand to the ground like garbage, and then took the knife that threatened Nami's life from the minion himself.

The weight of a passer-by reporter is not enough, plus a wife as a meat ticket, then this must be stable!

As a result, the steel knife who turned into a kidnapper got carried away and opened his mouth, instantly transforming the original excessive condition of "not moving" into a more demanding requirement:

"Bastard Knight Kid!"

"Do you want your wife to live?"

The steel knife threw the flintlock pistol in his hand in front of Galen, and then shouted arrogantly:

"Judge yourself in front of me, and I'll let her get out of here alive!"

The scene was instantly quiet, and the steel knife, the reporter, Nami, the minions...

All eyes were on Galen, waiting for him to make a final decision.

In the silence, complicated thoughts are secretly fermenting in everyone's hearts.

Comrade journalist has long been discouraged, after all, he is the weakest party in the current situation.

The few remaining minions were very nervous, and they were afraid that Galen would jump over the wall and cut the kidnappers and hostages in two.

But the steel knife was in a calm state, and he just quietly waited for Galen's reaction.

As an absolute egoist, Steel Knife certainly doesn't think Galen will be stupid enough to listen to himself and "kill himself to save his wife"...

This condition is just to ask for a sky-high price and pay back the money on the ground.

If it goes well, I am afraid that I will not only be able to leave alive, but I will also be able to exchange this stupid woman's life for a large treasure from the knight.

Thinking of this, the ugly face of the steel knife couldn't help but smile a little more expectantly.

As for Nami...

Her feelings are complicated and indescribable:

Nami's first thoughts are her unfinished business of saving money, the villagers who have suffered under the rule of the dragon, and her cherished sister...

Then, there is my dream that has never been touched yet.

Further back, think about it...

In this world, there seems to be nothing to be nostalgic for.

No friends, no freedom, no joy, just pain and betrayal.

In the end, Nami didn't even think about the possibility of surviving.

Because unrealistic hopes will only bring greater regrets -

The pirates were mistaken, and they weren't the knight's wife at all;

Nami didn't think that tin can would cost her life for the strange thief who almost stole his great sword.

This time, she is afraid that she will die.

Everyone waited quietly for Galen's choice.

After a long silence...

"How?"

Steel Knife finally got a little impatient: "You are talking! ”

"Shut up!"

Galen replied unceremoniously, and the unscrupulous tone only made the already unconfident steel knife shrink his head.

Fortunately, Galen's next answer was quite mild:

"Let me be quiet and think for a moment..."

Let me be quiet and think for a moment...

And my health bar was full.
