Compared with the original book, there is no change, and he doesn't even look much younger, but his hiding methods and tricks are dizzying, if it weren't for Rhodes firmly locking him with his domineering appearance, he would have been dumped after a few moves without a trace.

"I didn't have any ill intentions, and I didn't see anything I shouldn't see."

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Rhodes, Lafitte decisively gave up escaping, stood on the roof and looked at Rhodes, showing a very helpless expression, and gently spread the crutches in his hand.

Rhodes looked at the other party calmly and said, "You don't look like a peaceful person...... So, are you interested in joining me in turning the world upside down? ”

Lafitte was a little surprised, the color of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he put one hand on his chest, made a gentlemanly bow, and said with a smile on his face:

"It's an honor to join the Ghost Hand Pirates, Captain."

He has always been aware of the situation in the world and the Western Sea, and he has even obtained a lot of detailed information about the Ghost Hand Pirates who have reached the top since the rise of the Western Sea.

As a restless person, he naturally doesn't plan to live in peace, he always has to find an opportunity to jump out and toss in this world, although he didn't plan to jump out so early, but Rhodes chased all the way here to invite, and it may not be a good thing to refuse.

Smart people always make the smartest choices.

Rhodes smiled.

"Rhodes."

"Lafitte, good at stealth and seafaring."

Lafitte rested one hand on the brim of his hat, tilted his head slightly to the bottom, and gently raised the brim with his fingers, his movements looked completely inappropriate with the title of 'Devil Sheriff', but like an orthodox gentleman.

……

Wooing Lafitte was as easy as he imagined, and Lafitte didn't have anything to pack, or he seemed to have everything hidden on him, but he didn't know where.

This trip to the waters of Vought also came to an end with the addition of Lafitte, and Rhodes crossed two streets with the new navigator to find Robin.

"Nicole Robin, intelligence officer......" Rhodes introduced Robin, and nodded at Robin, "Lafitte, the new navigator on board." ”

Both are extremely intelligent figures, and in some ways, Lafitte is more than Nicole Robin, after all, Robin puts her wisdom more on learning.

"Speaking of which, there have been people from the Navy watching you secretly."

After a brief greeting, Lafitte spun the red cane in his hand and smiled at Rhodes.

Rhodes shook his head indifferently and said, "There will naturally be a navy's eyeliner on this kind of island, don't pay attention to it, I don't think the navy will come to trouble before entering the great route." ”

"That's true."

Lafitte put down the cane in his hand, he was going to say that if he didn't mind, he could go and pull out the Navy's eyeliner and torture the Navy's movements, and even pass on some false information to the Navy, but it didn't seem to be necessary, so he didn't mention it much.

"If you don't have anything else to do, you can go back to the ship and think about the next stage...... To the Great Voyage! ”

"Great voyage, that's a challenging place, hehe."

Lafitte smiled, and both the laughter and the expression were always filled with an eerie style.

"Then, the next nautical chart drawing, as well as the selection of the shipping lane, will be in charge of you for the time being, and I will give you the nautical chart and compass when I get on the ship."

Rhodes said as he walked into the distance, while Lafitte and Robin followed left and right.

Walking on the street, the road was unimpeded, even if someone noticed Rhodes and the others, they all showed shocked faces, hid on both sides of the street, and watched Rhodes walk by.

Soon.

Rhodes took Lafitte and Robin back to the ship, and he didn't encounter any trouble along the way, and the Navy didn't dare to jump out and do anything at all.

……

More than ten miles away from the island, on the warship that was preparing to march to the island, a rear admiral of the Navy branch held a telephone bug and asked with a serious and nervous expression:

"How's it going, what's the result?!"

"The Twin Swords Pirates have been wiped out...... There was no lose-lose situation, and Rhodes the Ghost Hand won a big victory, and a strange man followed them onto the ship. ”

Hearing that Rhodes had won a great victory, and that there was no defeat for both sides, the rear admiral of the army knew that there was nothing to do, and when he heard that a strange man had boarded Rhodes' ship, he could not help asking:

"Weirdo...... Did you take a picture?! ”

"It's been filmed!"

"Okay, submit the photo quickly."

If you fail to arrest the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Twin Sword Pirates, you must at least get some information, otherwise it will be a bit difficult to get over at home.

After hanging up the phone, a colonel next to him whispered to him, "Major General, then do we continue to arrest the Ghost Hand Pirates......

The major general glanced at the colonel next to him with a little annoyance, as a major general looking at the pirates but not daring to go over, it was a very shameless thing, this guy still wanted to ask clearly.

"Stand by for now!"

……

A few days later.

The news of Rhodes' defeat of the Twin Swords Pirates in the waters of Watergold was published by various newspapers and news agencies, and spread throughout the West Sea along with various newspaper broadcasts.

On a route to the Great Voyage, the Ghost was sailing at full speed, and on the deck of the Ghost, Rhodes was reading a roll of newspaper thrown down by a newsbird.

Shocked! The position of the overlord of the West Sea has changed hands again with twists and turns"

After reading half of it, Rhodes threw the newspaper into the sea and said helplessly: "The things published by these messy news agencies are not much more reliable than those released by the government." ”

Robin covered his mouth and chuckled, "It's impossible for them to publish accurate news honestly, but Captain, you have become the focus of various news agencies in the West Sea." ”

Rhodes shook his head and asked Lafitte, who was watching the wind and course at the top of the mast, "What is the wind direction and speed?" How long does it take to arrive in Belos Town? ”

The town of Beros.

It is the closest island to the Great Voyage in the entire Western Sea, similar to the town of Rogue in the East China Sea, which can be regarded as the island of departure of the Great Voyage.

"If nothing else, with the speed of this ship, it will arrive in a month at most, Captain." Lafitte leaped and fell lightly from the mast like a piece of paper.

Rhodes nodded and said, "The problem of navigation will be left to you." ”

Having Lafitte in charge of sailing, even if it is limited to the job of a navigator, can save Rhodes a lot of thought and time.

"Captain, don't worry."

Lafitte bowed slightly, smiling as Rhodes returned to the cabin.

Before boarding the ship, his knowledge of Rhodes was limited to all kinds of intelligence and news, but in the past few days on the ship, he has a more detailed understanding of all aspects of Rhodes, and he has increasingly confirmed that Rhodes is a captain with follower value.

"I'm looking forward to turning the world upside down, hehe."
