Chapter Eighty-Three: Blood Anger in an Awkward Situation
Callando slumped in the three brothers' chaise longues, glass of cold juice in hand, watching the blue sea glow in the midday sun.
The short afternoon is pleasant, especially when you are drinking juice and others are sweating.
"Emma! Your posture is out of shape again! ”
While admiring Emma's well-toned figure, while pointing out her mistakes in swordsmanship practice, this feeling of being a human teacher teaching female disciples is really good.
"Bordos! I suggest you stop practicing swords and find a mace as a weapon! Do you have anything else in your head besides muscles? ”
Compared with Emma, who only occasionally appears out of shape, the three salted fish brothers are a little miserable. Ados and Aramis are okay, after all, they have a little foundation in the past, but Bordos is different.
To be honest, Carlando had a hard time believing that Bordos, a reckless man, had a knack for a pistol. Obviously, the truth that parents are different is vividly reflected in these three brothers.
"Boss, the lookout has spotted a pirate ship near us, and judging by their heading, I'm afraid it's coming towards us."
Hearing the report from his subordinates, Carlando raised his eyebrows, and another pirate with a short eye came to send him to death. Leyden Island is about half a month's journey to the location of the Bell Gang's station, and they have been sailing for seven days, during which they have also been attacked by pirates.
Ay...... It seems that he is going to brush up on the presence of his fake swordsman in front of his subordinates again. Thinking of this, Carlando picked up the longboat with a greatly changed appearance and walked to the side of the boat with a calm expression.
"That flag is ......"
Looking at the pirate ship getting closer and closer, Calando stared intently at the other party's pirate flag, and a rather familiar feeling welled up in his heart.
Blood rage? Mitchlin? What is Mitchlin doing here? Coming to me? Don't come to rob me, do you? Because they were acquaintances, Carlando didn't cut off the ship with a "flying slash" after reaching the attack range like the pirates before him.
"Boss?"
The subordinates on the ship saw that their boss did not make a move, and they also came to inquire about the reason.
"It's okay, it's an acquaintance here. But I don't know what his attitude is now, so you have to be vigilant and ready to go to war at any time! ”
Although Calando helped Michlin successfully get the Devil Fruit, he was still a subordinate of "Black Fire" at that time, and it is still two to say whether the favor can be counted on himself. Therefore, it is unclear whether Mitchlin came this time as friend or foe.
"Carlando!"
When Carlando could see the people on the ship, a familiar pirate shouted to him from the bow of the ship.
"Mitchlin! You're here for me? ”
Calando thought that after the palace incident, it would be difficult to see them who robbed the Kingdom of Leiden and killed the king, but he didn't expect to meet again so soon.
"Of course! I'm here to meet the new leader of the Split Sky, Ciel Carlando. ”
Seeing the high-spirited Carlando on the opposite boat, Michlin also felt some feelings in his heart. How long has it been? That funny little imp went from being a cadre to becoming the leader of the biggest gang in the Kingdom of Leiden.
"What are you looking for me for?"
Carlando didn't let his guard down, and although he claimed to be a sword master outside, he wasn't. Therefore, he had to be cautious when facing the most powerful "Blood Fury" pirate group currently active in the Western Sea.
"Haha! Don't be so nervous, you know that someone hired me from the previous incident, not my intention, and this time I'm here to send you money. ”
It's not surprising to see Carlando's caution, after all, after the events of the Kingdom of Leiden, he can be said to be notorious in the Western Sea, and almost everyone knows that there is a bold pirate group who has invaded the royal capital and killed the king.
"Send money?"
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief! The vigilance in Calando's heart not only did not subside, but became more and more intense.
"Yes, send money. As for the specific situation, it's hard to talk about it in such a big picture, isn't it? ”
Hearing Michilin's answer, Carlando frowned and thought for a while.
"Then you can come to my captain's room to talk about it in detail. Anyway, you can do it alone, right? Don't you need me to build a pavement, right? (The pavement board is a wide plank between two parallel ships, and if it is a battle, it is often used to log in to the enemy ship.) )
Because he hadn't seen Mitchlin fight in full force in person, but he knew that the old guy in Woods wasn't his opponent, Carlando wasn't sure he could fight.
"Haha! Absolutely! ”
Michilin was clear about Carlando's thoughts, and responded directly and cheerfully, because he didn't think that Carlando could keep himself in the fight.
"You may be seated."
Callando motioned for Michlin to sit down, and then waited with a stern face on his face to fool himself.
"Callando, you also know that I got a lot of money some time ago."
"So what?"
Carlando raised an eyebrow unmoved.
"I want to trade this treasure for something with you."
Hehe? You're trying to trick me? That treasure is a thing of the Kingdom of Leiden, although Falfan may not do anything about it, but he is not afraid of ten thousand, and he is not very short of money now.
"For what?"
I thought so, but Callando was still willing to hear what Mitchlin wanted.
"Some powerful munitions, all kinds of daily necessities at sea, and a boat."
Speaking of which, Michlin looked at Callando with sincerity, and it was clear that he needed these things so badly.
"Munitions? Groceries? Boat? These things are not so hard to come by, why don't you just find a black market to buy them, and instead come to me? ”
Carlando feels like Michlin is taking himself for a fool? You want to fool me into not finding some reliable reason? Just come to me with these problems that can be solved by just finding a black market?
"The black market in the West Sea is not safe for me right now. Not only is a rear admiral of the Navy headquarters and a warship frantically looking for my traces, but a group of unknown people are also helping the Navy search for me. ”
Hearing Michilin's words, Carlando began to look at him carefully. Messy hair and beard, untidy clothes, and bloodshot pupils all reflect that Mitchlin has been in a bad state lately.
"Looks like you've been having a bad time lately......"
The king of the confederate country is not so easy to kill, and Michilin, who added the deeds of killing the king, knows the seriousness of the consequences.
"What household items and munitions do you want?" What class of boat is needed? ”
"I'm ready, this is what I need."
Michlin was overjoyed when he heard this, and directly took out a piece of paper and handed it to Carlando. After the royal capital incident, he was originally going to go directly to the great voyage, but he was delayed by some things. When there was no problem, he found that the situation in the West Sea was full of dangers, and he couldn't find a place where he could safely supply a large number of supplies.
"You want this ship!?"
