Chapter 4 The pot comes from heaven
"Some seafood noodles."
Arriving at a small restaurant in town, Rhodes found a seat and greeted the owner of the restaurant.
The restaurateur knew Rhodes, and after grinning, poured Rhodes a glass of water, then walked into the back hall, tied up his apron and started moving.
Rhodes drank water while thinking about the direction of his next practice.
Suddenly.
Rhodes' thoughts were interrupted by a commotion in the streets, and he looked up to see a large group of navy officers with muskets and steel swords walking up and down the streets, searching for something.
"What are you doing?"
Rhodes showed a strange look, could it be that some pirates have infiltrated the town?
As he sat there and watched the Navy search outside, one of the Navy officers suddenly saw him sitting in the restaurant.
"Here!"
The navy was stunned for a moment, then immediately roared, picked up the firearm in his hand, and aimed it directly at Rhodes.
Almost instantly, the navy of the entire street rushed over, surrounded the restaurant, surrounded Rhodes in the center, and countless firebolts were aimed at Rhodes.
"Sinner Rhodes, surrender quickly!"
"Don't try to resist, we're already around here!"
A naval major rushed to the front, raised a long sword in his hand, and shouted at Rhodes with a serious face.
Rhodes was still holding a teacup for drinking water in his hand, looking at the sudden change in front of him, he was a little stunned for a while.
"You're in ...... What the?! ”
He looked around, he was the only one in the entire restaurant, his brow gradually furrowed, put down his teacup, and asked at the many navies.
"Huh?"
The naval major who was the leader frowned, but immediately shouted with a cold expression: "Don't pretend to be stupid!" It is impossible to disappear the sins committed, so let's get caught! ”
"Me? Crime? ”
Strange, annoyed, puzzled and other expressions flashed on Rhodes's face one after another, being a pirate hunter and hunting a pirate, will he still be guilty? What the hell?
Seeing that Rhodes was still 'pretending to be stupid', the naval lieutenant couldn't help but shout: "Come out and surrender quickly, otherwise we will do it!" ”
“……”
Rhodes' expression grew colder.
He chose the profession of pirate hunter, on the one hand, because the talent system needed to hunt pirates, and on the other hand, he didn't want to be hunted down by the navy and clash with the navy.
But if he doesn't want to clash with the navy, it doesn't mean that he is afraid of the navy, and inexplicably came over and said that he was a criminal and wanted him to surrender and be handcuffed, what is it?!
"Can you tell me first what crime I have committed?"
Rhodes looked coldly at the navy outside.
When the naval lieutenant heard this, he showed an angry expression: "When you are judged, you will know what crime you have committed!" ”
After the words fell, he directly gave an order, and many navies pulled the trigger one after another, and for a while, fire snakes flew one after another, and countless bullets shot towards Rhodes.
Bang!
Almost the moment many navies opened fire, the ground under Rhodes' feet shattered like a spider's web, the table in front of him also shattered at the same time, and the whole person rushed out of the restaurant like an afterimage.
"What about people? Where did you go?! ”
The naval lieutenant was startled at first and swung his sword and slashed, but nothing was slashed, and Rhodes had long since disappeared into thin air, and his whereabouts were unknown.
On the roof not far away, Rhodes stood behind the chimney, glanced at the town below, and found that the entire town was surrounded by naval regiments, and two warships docked on the coast in the distance, and couldn't help but frown.
Such a big move......
He hadn't done anything other than hunting pirates that would alarm the Navy, and now it looked like something must have happened, and the charges were thrown on his head.
Rhodes was annoyed in his heart, and his eyes showed a hint of anger, no matter who made him carry a black cauldron, this matter is not over!
Let's figure out what the hell is going on first.
Rhodes descended from the roof, came to the mouth of an alleyway, and took advantage of the moment when a group of navy passed, and pulled the last sailor of the group into the alleyway with his mouth covered.
"If you dare to scream, watch your head."
Rhodes pulled a dagger out of his pocket, pressed it against the sailor's neck, looked at him coldly, and slowly let go of his hand.
The sailor's face was full of horror, and he wanted to cry out, but the sharp, cold dagger around his neck made him feel like he was being pinched by the neck.
Rhodes asked coldly:
"First question, what is your purpose?"
"I ...... I ......"
The sailor looked at Rhodes in fear, fearing that Rhodes' neck would be cut off with a shake of his hand.
Rhodes put the dagger a little farther away, and said coldly: "Say it quickly!" ”
"Catch ...... Arrest the Ghost Hand Rhodes ......"
The sailor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the dagger move, but he still had a frightened expression on his face and stammered.
Rhodes nodded, stared into the eyes of the sailor, and asked coldly:
"Second question, why did you arrest me?"
The sailor was stunned for a moment, not expecting Rhodes to ask such a question, and a strange and confused look in his eyes flashed, but he stammered under the threat of the dagger.
"Yes...... It was the Tarot Town tragedy...... You are the culprit. ”
Hearing this, Rhodes frowned, and was about to ask again what the Tarot Town tragedy was, when a loud roar suddenly came from outside the alleyway.
"He's here!"
Seeing that it had been discovered by the navy, Rhodes didn't bother to ask again, he obviously inexplicably carried a black cauldron of the Tarot Town tragedy, as for what the Tarot Town tragedy was, it is estimated that he could ask it anywhere.
Sou!
Rhodes shaved again, and the whole person flickered, and disappeared into the alleyway, leaving the surviving sailor, leaning against the wall with a blank and confused expression.
"He, I don't know why we arrested him?"
……
The navy in the West Sea is completely different from the navy in the Middle Sea in the original book.
In the East China Sea in the original book, if you capture a sea pirate with a reward of 15 million Bailey, you can be directly promoted from a lieutenant to a colonel, because the pirate with the highest bounty in the East China Sea is only 20 million Bailey.
In the West Sea, the pirate with the highest bounty is as high as 50 million Baileys, and even in this sea area, the highest bounty is more than 30 million Baileys.
Therefore, it is much more difficult for the navy of the West Sea to be promoted than that of the East China Sea, which means that the overall strength of the navy of the West Sea is much stronger than that of the East China Sea, and even the highest among the four seas, second only to the Great Route!
The pirates with a bounty of about 20 million, when they meet the naval colonels here, they basically turn around and run, and the possibility of escaping is very high, and it is almost impossible to win, because every colonel has arrested at least the pirates with a bounty of 30 million.
But.
After Rhodes pointed out the talent of 'shaving', his strength was already enough to surpass the average 30 million Bailey pirates.
So under the encirclement and suppression of many navies, Rhodes did not spend too much energy to get rid of the navy and leave the town.
