Rhodes was drinking, his face flushed, and he poured bottles of wine into his mouth.

"What? Coming back? ”

Beside him, a man sat back, it was his co-captain Barlow, "Is there anything wrong with that kid Mario?" ”

"It's time to train,"

Barlow picked up the piece of meat on the table and began to stuff it into his mouth, "It's a little ghost, but he doesn't try to speak." ”

"Really?"

Rod laughed, "I said a long time ago, that little ghost was born to be a pirate, and besides, this sentence is not right, partner, it's because it's a little ghost, so you have to keep working hard, the so-called strong man, isn't this how it came out?" That guy, Mario, felt like something was chasing him all the time, and I thought, it's this anxiety, this will to move forward, haha, he's going to be an amazing pirate. ”

"So the captain recruited him to the ship, didn't he?"

Barlow asked.

"Hahaha, I've said it several times, of course it's not because of this, you're still as suspicious as ever,"

Rod laughed, "It's because I feel like I'm in love with that kid, isn't that enough?" There's nothing more exciting for a pirate, right? ”

"Huh."

Barlow chuckled and began to pour himself wine.

"Alright, let's go, the banquet is over, it's time to go to the Golden Lion Admiral."

Rod stood up and yawned.

"Yes."

Barlow followed.

A large number of pirates have been poured on the platform, and this time the banquet has been carried out to the end, and the captain who needs to go to the meeting with the golden lion and the few selected cadres are still awake.

Barlow followed Rhodes off the platform and along the road, where the many pirate captains converged into a torrent and headed for the towering castle tower at the center of the island.

"Yo, Captain Rod, is Barlow alone?"

Or Flogg, followed by a few fierce men, looking at Rhodes with a mocking look in his eyes, "It looks like the Bloody Hand Pirates are indeed a little embarrassed, huh?" ”

"I think it's the opposite,"

Barlow sneered, "Frog, you know me, and there are many people who know me, but we don't know the names of these guys behind you. ”

“……”

Frog's eyes bulged, his forehead was jumping, he had already heard it, and the pirate captains who walked around let out unbridled laughter, it was indeed like Barlow said, Barlow, as Rod's deputy, was not famous among these people, but Frogg was different, he didn't have a deputy, and his subordinates were all fools with little reputation.

"Poof~Hey, Barlow,"

Rod held back a smile, "Although it's a fact, don't say it directly." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Captain Flogg,"

Barlow grinned, "I'm being too direct, shouldn't I be tactful?" For example, should a toad be careful not to be trampled to death when it comes out with a tadpole? ”

“……”

"Galala!"

Frog gritted his teeth, and then began to laugh, "Good, good, you are good, Mr. Barlow, I kind of understand where that kid learned it." ”

Frog grinned and walked briskly forward.

"Beautiful! Partner! ”

Rod gave a thumbs up.

“……”

Barlow just laughed.

Entering the castle tower, the hall, the golden lion was already sitting cross-legged on the top position, "Hahaha, come on, start now, that guy Roger, it's not easy to deal with!" ”

Then the meeting began, when the lion hunted, it would never attack blindly, it must be planned, prepared, organized action, Roger's big prey, of course, needs to be more prepared, the more arrogant the man, but the more cautious he is when he really needs to fight.

There are more than 50 pirate groups under his command, and the number of elite pirates alone is close to 10,000, counting the peripheral cannon fodder of each pirate group, tens of thousands of pirates are not a problem, and the total number of various pirate ships is more than a hundred, which is indeed a terrifying force, but these people are pirates without rules and order, and it is not a simple matter to mobilize these guys reasonably and appropriately.

The Golden Lion has made a detailed plan, the five pirate groups are divided into a group, act together, and maximize the advantages of the number of people and the firepower of the ship, no matter how powerful the monsters of the Roger Pirates are, they only have one ship after all, and they can't fly into the sky after all, the firepower of the Golden Lion Fleet only needs one salvo to sink the entire Roger Pirates to the bottom of the sea.

The Golden Lion's plan is very simple, and he doesn't plan to hide his troops and then raid or something like that, in front of Roger Reilly's sight and hearing, such a trick will not be useful at all, it is better to pass a wave of recklessness, and the salvo will be over after entering the range.

Of course, the master's crushing combat power for miscellaneous fish needs the Golden Lion Pirates to resist, the king against the king, the general against the general, and the miscellaneous fish like the Bloody Hand Pirates are the biggest advantage of the Golden Lion Pirates.

Therefore, the focus of the meeting is on how to match the warship, how to make the Roger Pirates out, how to maintain the barrage advantage, and at the same time rehearse the possible counterattack of the Roger Pirates and how to turn the tables after falling into a disadvantage, in the eyes of the golden lion, Roger is a lifelong enemy.

The meeting lasted for most of the night, and by the time Rod returned with Barlow, the moon had begun to sink in the west.

"Ahh

Rod yawned, "I'm going to sleep, I have to stay energetic before the big fight." ”

"I'm going to see Mario,"

Barlow licked his lips, "I'm still a little worried. ”

"Hey! Barlow! ”

Captain Rhodes was speechless as he looked at Barlow's departing back, "Really, can't you give your partner a little trust?" Forget it, let him go. ”

"Ahh Captain! ”

Just after sighing, he shook his head and was about to go to bed, but Louie's voice had already appeared from the side, "Is the meeting over?" ”

Covered in sweat, a little panting, naked, red, looking like he had been exercising for a long time.

"Mario? Are you back? ”

Captain Rhodes couldn't hold back a laugh, "Haha, Barlow just said to look for you." ”

"Really? Looks like it's missed,"

Louie scratched his hair, "The vice-captain cares about me." ”

"Hahaha, of course, of course,"

Rod smiled, "We're all partners." ”

"Captain, I'll go back and take a shower and sleep,"

Louis said, "I'm tired. ”

"Well, I'm asleep too, hitch—so sleepy, sleepy."

Rod yawned.

"Good night, Mario."

Rod waved his hand and went to sleep.

"Whew-"

Louis let out a long sigh of relief, clutching his chest, it really hurts, but now is not the time to rest, looking at Rod's distant back, he said softly, "Next, it's another actor, right?" ”

The next day, Barlow's body was found.
