Chapter 13: Flo the One-Eyed
Flo Pirates.
The entire crew of the ship, regardless of whether they had problems with their eyes, wore a one-eyed patch to cover their right eye, which was ordered by the captain of the ship, Flo the one-eyed.
"There's a ship coming up!"
"It's a small boat."
A pirate standing at the sentry position saw Rhodes' boat coming in the distance and reported down.
As soon as they heard that it was a small boat, many of the pirates on board were very interested, and small boats generally had no treasure and were not worth plundering.
But.
Some people also showed strange expressions and asked at the sentry above, "Took the initiative to lean over?" Don't see our pirate flag? ”
"Yes! They seem to be speeding up. ”
The sentry didn't pay attention at first, but when he noticed that Rhodes' boat was rushing at full speed, he felt that something was wrong.
Under normal circumstances, when encountering a pirate ship, not always turn around and flee, how can anyone take the initiative to rush up when encountering a pirate group, unless it ...... It's a pirate hunter!
Thinking of this, the sentry was suddenly startled.
"Report to the captain, it could be a pirate hunter!"
"Pirate hunters?"
As soon as they heard the word pirate hunter, the faces of many pirates who were in a state of interest changed one after another, and someone quickly rushed into the cabin and reported to Captain Flo.
Flo, the one-eyed Flo, who was taking a nap, was very annoyed when he was woken up by his men, and yawned to the deck outside, and looked at the boat that drove in the distance:
"Pirate hunters? Lao Tzu is a one-eyed Flo, with a bounty of 27 million Bailey, which pirate hunter dares to provoke Lao Tzu, he is really impatient! ”
"Destroy them for me."
Flo rubbed the back of her head and ordered the pirate next to her.
"Yes!"
Several pirates quickly filled the cannon with gunpowder, aimed at the small boat that Rhodes was on, and began to bombard.
One by one, the shells cut through arcs and fell into the sea in the distance, blasting huge waves in the sea.
"Shelling?"
Rhodes took a deep breath and said, "Robin, you go to the cabin first." ”
Although Rhodes's current twisting power can stop the slashing of ordinary swords, the bullets fired by the fire gun and the slash with a slight rudimentary sword qi are not yet able to resist head-on, let alone cannons.
Fortunately, this group of guys is pirates, and the shelling is not as orderly as the navy, and even looks a little messy, unable to form a dense and terrible rain of shells.
Moreover.
Rhodes did not intend to block the shells...... Although he was also very difficult to stop.
He didn't need this small boat anymore, as long as he could rely on this small boat to get close to a certain distance from the Flo Pirate Ship, he could jump directly with a shave.
Sou!
A cannonball hit Rhodes, and with a hard stomp on Rhodes' foot, the whole person swooped out of the way and avoided the cannonball.
Rumble!
The shells fell on the bow of the ship, blowing up the bow with sawdust and filling the smoke with gunpowder.
"It's not easy to use the fruit ability to stop the cannonball, or to split the cannonball with a sword."
Faced with a cannonball that would not die and would be seriously injured, Rhodes seemed unusually calm, because with his current agility and speed, he could avoid the cannonball that came from a distance with full concentration.
Rumble! Rumble!!
As the boat gets closer to the Flo Pirate Ship, the hit rate of the cannonballs begins to get higher and higher, and the speed becomes more and more difficult to dodge due to the closer distance.
Rhodes' expression was calm, his eyes were staring at the Flo pirate ship in front of him, and he had already focused his attention to the extreme, and he would instantly avoid any black shadow flying over.
"Captain, if you go on like this, you may not be able to hold up the boat that gets close to the other party."
Robin hid in the cabin with several large holes punched out, observed the situation outside, conjured a mouth on the pillar next to Rhodes, and said to Rhodes.
Rhodes glanced strangely at the conjured lips on the pillar, but Flowey's ability was to conjure a part of his body anywhere, and he was well aware of this and was not surprised.
He calmly responded, "Don't worry, you don't need to get too close." ”
Fifty meters......
Forty meters......
Thirty meters......
Rhodes stared at the Flo Pirates' ship, judging the distance.
"Enough distance!"
Rhodes' eyes flashed, and the whole person jumped without hesitation, jumped to the highest point of the boat, and then stepped on it fiercely, shattering the wooden steps of the boat, and the whole person crossed an arc in mid-air and fell towards the pirate ship of the Flo Pirates.
On the ship of the Flo Pirates, many pirates were looking at the small boat that was crumbling in the cannon fire with evil and cruel smiles on their faces, and they were all stunned when they saw a figure jump up and rush towards this side.
"Watch out there!"
"Captain! Someone's coming! ”
When the many pirates reacted, Rhodes had already hit the sail of the Flo Pirates, unloaded the sail, and landed lightly on the mast.
The distance of this leap is obviously not something that ordinary people can do, many pirates showed a look of shock, and some people looked up, vaguely feeling that Rhodes's figure was a little familiar, and then thought of something, and their faces changed.
"Are you...... Ghost Hand Rhodes! Killed the colonel of the Navy Division, and was rewarded by the government with a bounty of 40 million Bailey's ghost hand Rhodes! ”
"Very good, the province introduced himself."
Rhodes calmly glanced at the pirates below, jumped forward, and landed directly on the board of the ship below, looking at the group of pirates in front of him and said:
"Flo Pirates, I guess I'm not mistaken...... My boat was damaged by you, so unfortunately I will make amends with your boat. ”
“……”
Several pirates standing next to Rhodes couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Although they are all rampant pirates, the news says that Rhodes is extremely vicious, slaughtering a small town by one person and killing the colonel of the naval branch, which is far more crazy than theirs!
"I thought it was a pirate hunter who didn't have long eyes, but I didn't expect it to be you, pirate hunter...... No, pirates, ghost hand Rhodes. ”
Flo walked out from behind, the one-eyed one staring at Rhodes, narrowing slightly, revealing a hint of danger.
Although Rhodes is notorious, he is not easy to mess with, and what about the reward of 40 million Bailey, after all, there is only one person!
"If you want my ship, how about joining us?"
The one-eyed Flo spread his hands at Rhodes and said, "With your strength, if you join forces with me, there will be few opponents in this West Sea." ”
If Rhodes was a pirate hunter, he would have done it a long time ago, but Rhodes was already a wanted pirate with a bounty, and now he was alone, if he could get on his ship and be a fighter on his ship, the Flo Pirates would be enough to run rampant in the Western Sea.
"A bounty of twenty-seven million Bailey, one-eyed Flo."
Rhodes slowly walked forward, and said indifferently: "Are you going to be my subordinate?" ”
Flo's face sank, and he sneered, "It seems that you haven't figured out what the situation is now, Ghost Hand Rhodes." ”
As his words fell, many of the nearby pirates drew their firearms, swords in their hands, and put on a battle posture.
