Chapter Seventy-Seven: Red-Haired Shanks

"It's coming!" A trace of nervousness flashed in Chen Mo's heart and said.

After all, Chen Mo's job is just a scholar, and although he is not averse to fighting, he will still be a little uncomfortable.

And Chen Mo felt the breath of life on the straw hat man's body that was not weaker than that of the dragon.

In other words, this man, even if Chen Mo fights to the death, he will at least have to pay the price of serious injuries to kill the other party, and he is likely to have to eat and drink for several days before he can recover.

"It's horrible!" Chen Mo felt that above the sea, terrifying masters could indeed be seen everywhere, and within a few days of going out, he encountered this kind of terrifying character.

"It's all the blame for the dragon, insisting on arranging this kind of big ship for me, making the goal so obvious." Chen Mo couldn't help but pull the dragon out again and whip the corpse again.

"In the future, you really have to be low-key, you must remember that your job is still a scholar after all, not a profession that is good at fighting, and the fierce pirates on the sea can be seen everywhere, once they swell, they will meet people who can teach themselves a lesson in minutes!"

Chen Mo rigorously examined himself in his heart, but the expression on his face was quietly waiting for the other party to approach.

The reason why Chen Mo didn't take the lead was mainly because although Chen Mo felt that the other party was not good, he didn't feel the killing intent, which means that there is still something to talk about.

And Chen Mo's favorite thing is to solve problems peacefully, so he has been holding back and not taking the lead.

Chen Mo's face was still indifferent, but Yongyi on the side had already recognized the identity of the other party.

"Red Foss, red-haired pirates, red-haired Shanks."

"In addition to those three super-first-class pirate groups, one of the top pirate groups, the strength is unfathomable!" Yuichi said with a slightly ugly face.

Although the revolutionary army has developed very rapidly in recent years, it has been suppressed by the government, the navy and even pirates, both openly and secretly, so the actual combat power of today's revolutionary army is only a step stronger than that of this top pirate group.

On the Red Forss, Ben Beckman, the deputy captain of the red-haired pirates, took a closer look at Chen Mo and whispered to Shanks.

"Captain, it looks like we're chasing in the wrong direction, that guy Tiki didn't run away this way!"

"Tsk, I was tricked by that guy, I didn't take this opportunity to solve this dangerous character this time, and I don't know when the next opportunity will be." Shanks said slightly upset.

"What about the noble ship on the other side?" Ben Beckman asked. "But this ship looks a little weird, and it's not the same as the ones you usually see."

"Then you still need to ask?" Shanks said as a matter of course. "Since it's on our territory, why don't you pay some protection money?"

"Hahaha, the captain is right, we're pirates!" When the many red-haired pirate cadres in the rear heard this, they coaxed one after another.

And as the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, the atmosphere of the many guards on Chen Mo's side became more and more solemn, this kind of top-notch pirate group was not the kind of miscellaneous pieces that could be seen everywhere just now.

"Hey, Uncle Straw Hat on the other side, since there is no killing intent, then he is not an enemy, how about letting one get out of the way?" Chen Mo controlled the wheelchair, stepped forward a few minutes, and shouted at Shanks, who was standing opposite.

"That's not going to work!" Shanks shouted heartily. "Where is there any talk of pirates giving way to the nobles?"

"Huh?" Chen Mo felt Shanks's undoubtedly most intuitive will from the heart, and couldn't help but turn his head to Yongyi and ask. "Is that the case?"

"This ......" Yong Yi didn't know how to return to Chen Mo for a while.

After all, generally speaking, pirates choose to stay away from aristocratic ships with strong garrisons, and when they find noble ships that can be eaten, they frantically pounce and bite like wild dogs.

"Hey, the boy on the other side, you better let the adults of your family come out and talk!" Shanks shouted from afar. "As long as you don't resist, we'll collect some protection money and leave!"

"Protection money?" Chen Mo, who is so poor that he is dying, has the money to pay what protection money?

"Alas, if you don't have money, you can only work hard!" Chen Mo pinched the short knife in his hand, ready to strike at any time.

I don't know if it's because in the face of Chen Mo, who has an excellent image, in order to avoid bringing unnecessary psychological shadows to the young man who doesn't know the world, Shanks also deliberately explained one more sentence.

"We red-haired pirates are reputable, and we have paid protection money on our territory to ensure that you will not be attacked by other pirates, so that you can sail through safely."

"Are you bullying me for not reading well and trying to lie to me?" When Chen Mo heard this, he couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Huh?" The matter of collecting protection money is basically collected by other pirate groups under Shanks, and he really hasn't done this kind of thing in person, Chen Mo in front of him couldn't help but say suspiciously.

"Hahaha, the captain who collected the protection money was scolded by a little ghost and lost his life!"

"About the day when the red-haired captain had another faceless question."

"Look at the captain's cute appearance, so stupid, hahaha!"

……

The many red-haired pirate cadres who were sitting, lying or standing in the back did not have the slightest intention of saving face for their captain, and unceremoniously teased their captain, laughing and laughing for a while.

"Bastard! I'm serious about collecting protection money now, be serious! The redhead turned her head and yelled at the laughing friends.

"Hahaha, the captain is in a hurry!"

"About the day when the red-haired captain was in a hurry......"

"Captain, hurry up and collect the protection fee, let's have a banquet to celebrate your first time!"

"Hahaha......"

For a moment, the cadres of the many red-haired pirates laughed even more happily.

As the red-haired pirates laughed heartlessly, the atmosphere of the scene was also invisibly relaxed.

"I don't care, the teenager opposite, hand over the protection money, or I won't let you go!" Shanks, who was a little annoyed and angry, simply turned his head and said to Chen Mo as if he was playing tricks.

"No! I don't have any money! Chen Mo said truthfully.

"If you don't have any money, you have to pay it, otherwise I will put my face as a pirate there?"

"But you didn't protect us!" Chen Mo retorted.

"Look at it!" Chen Mo pointed to the guards who had just been injured and said. "You're just trying to scam, aren't you? There were still pirates attacking me just now, and my guards were injured because of it, so you're embarrassed to charge me for protection? ”

Shanks took a serious look at the wounded guards, and found that some of their wounds were still bleeding, and they were indeed freshly wounded.

"That's it!" Shanks pressed the straw hat on top of his head and thought about it.

After a moment, Shanks took out a bottle of rum from his body and threw it to Chen Mo in the distance, saying. "Since there is no protection in place, then this protection fee will be collected next time, and this bottle of wine will be regarded as an apology for disturbing you!"
