Chapter 002: Please Recognize Your Identity
Compassion.
There is only compassion left.
The pirates' burning and looting are still going on, but Carl and Carlo turn a blind eye as if they have lost their souls, and only care about drinking in the tavern.
"Silly boys, why are you sitting here and drinking? Although this village is dilapidated and poor, there is no oil and water, but there are a few big girls who are very smart. I think you two are the right age, why don't you vent? ”
A group of pirates squeezed in through the back door of the tavern, carried two jars of wine and ran out through the front door.
In the middle of the night, Rayman, the captain of the Walker Pirates, led several younger brothers to this tavern.
"Carl, Caro, what's wrong with you? Why don't you plunder your deserved booty? ”
Carlo stood up and looked at Lehman with a smile, "Captain, this kid Carl is a bit brain-dead today, I'll drink some wine with him." This guy may have been chased stupidly by the navy, captain, you also saw it, the boat didn't stop, this kid jumped into the sea......"
"Hmm!"
Captain Lehman snorted, he glanced at Karl, who had just filled his bowl of wine, at the smashed table on the ground, at the jar of wine on the table in front of Carl, and at Carl again.
The jar of wine, which had not been changed since it had been placed on the table, was now placed in front of Carl by the guests in the tavern that had not yet been drunk.
Of course, all this Lehman did not know.
"Carl!"
"Huh?" At Lehman's call, Carl roared and put down the wine bowl in his hand. He staggered over to Lehman and blinked hard, "Yo, it's the captain!" ”
As he spoke, he took his eyes off Lehman and staggered to a pirate beside Lehman, "Who is at the helm today?" Why is the boat shaking like this? ”
Carlo stepped forward to catch Carl, who was pushed away by the pirates, and looked at Lehman with a smile on his face, "Captain, look...... Why don't I send Carl back to the ship to rest. ”
Captain Lehman, who always had that black tower-like face, stared at Carl and Carlo for a few moments before he spat out one word: "Go!" ”
When Carlo carried Carl away, a pirate next to Lehman stepped forward, "Captain! These two boys are a bit of an inch, you can't get used to them like that! ”
"That's right, Captain, didn't that kid help you defeat the Navy once? You've been giving him face, but he's a little kicking his nose in the face! ”
There are dozens of pirates in the Walker Pirates, and some of them also have their own small groups. Of course, Captain Lehman knows all about this, but as long as he doesn't do anything out of line, he generally won't meddle in small frictions between his subordinates.
Standing at the door of the tavern, looking at Carl and Carlo, who were struggling to walk away, Lehman's gaze became deeper, "You don't need to say more, I have my own plans in mind." ”
Lehman admired the abilities of Carl and Carlo, the two boys were so powerful that they could easily take down three or five other sailors. In addition, the courage of these two boys is far from being comparable, when facing the pursuit of the navy, everyone else cowered, it was these two boys who swam to each other's ship and cut each other's masts.
Lehman had the heart to train these two boys to be his right-hand men, so he didn't find fault with them too much.
"Young and vigorous, it's time to suppress them a little."
Whispering to himself, Lehman turned and returned to the tavern.
It's just that he doesn't know that the current Carl is no longer the hot-blooded boy he used to be.
"Carl, I can't help it......"
Carl, who was "drunk", walked towards the pirate ship, and Carlo gritted his teeth and said hatefully in Carl's ear.
"Don't look back." Carl knew, just in the direction of the village behind him, where thick black smoke was already billowing up, "Caro, you remember, since you're a pirate now, don't let your compassion overflow!" ”
"Carl?!"
Carlo was puzzled, he couldn't understand why this partner he had played with since he was a child became what he is now, always saying something that made his heart tremble.
Could it be that in less than two months of his life as a pirate, his personality has changed dramatically?
As if not noticing the way Carlo looked at him, Carl's vision blurred slightly, and the young man who sent him into this world with a knife appeared in front of him, "But I also hope that you can do it, if you really become a navy one day, then you don't let your justice become rotten!" ”
……
Day 6, West Sea, Kleiman Island.
Kleiman has the meaning of doing business, trading in the local language. As the name suggests, Kleiman Island is much more prosperous than the one like Carl's hometown or the one they plundered before, and there is also a naval branch base on this island.
In this all-human maritime world, once the economy of a certain island is developed, of course, it will not attract only harmless trading merchant ships for people and animals. Among the passers-by who come and go, it is natural that the protagonist of this era of pirates is indispensable - pirates.
But after all, there is a naval base stationed on this island, and not every pirate group is as fearless as the Whitebeard Pirates. The vast majority of pirates who come to the island to repair will lower the pirate flag early and dock their ships at the docks disguised as merchant ships.
This phenomenon has long been common to the navy and residents of the island. Since everyone is a person who pays attention to the rules, and the pirates will not loot and make trouble and buy things without giving money, the navy is naturally too lazy to use the overstretched forces to make a big move, and in most cases just turn a blind eye.
"It's a beautiful day! Later, let's buy some supplies first, and then go back to the sea for a banquet! ”
The Walker Pirates have indeed been a bit lucky in the past month and have made a lot of money. Captain Lehman was in a good mood, and his men kept heckling.
"But in our line of work, only by being careful can we sail the ship of ten thousand years! No one is allowed to leave the docks without my orders! ”
The captain's voice was a bit majestic, and although the pirates were a little intimidated, no one dared to object.
"Carl, Carlo!" Lehman called Carl and Carlo out of the crowd and smiled leisurely, "You two have been following me for a while, and you have seen a lot of the world. This time, I'm going to give you a workout and send you two to the town to buy ingredients. Remember, there is a navy in this town, and the time has come to test your mentality. ”
"Captain." When Carlo heard this, he stared at Lehman with a little dissatisfaction, "This grocery shopping shouldn't seem to be a matter for the two of us, right?" ”
"Carlo, Captain doesn't mean anything else, he just wants to train you guys." At this time, "One Eye" stood up from the side, "Anyone who does what we do, anything can happen." In order to gain more experience, the brothers all came over like this at the beginning. ”
"One Eye" is a one-eyed pirate, and he's an honest guy - he's been honest ever since he lost his right eye.
"Yes, yes."
When one eye said this, the surrounding pirates also coaxed.
Every new pirate on the ship, in order to make them remember the rules, has to endure the suppression of the novice period. The means of suppression are not fixed, but these old pirates have already seen that this time the captain intends to let these two trainee pirates who are in the limelight do some rough work.
"Well, you can buy it according to it, it's very simple."
The chef handed Carl a list, and Carl understood at the moment.
It turns out that some people have already thought of a plan to suppress themselves during this mooring.
"Let's go, Carlo."
Ignoring One Eye and the cook any more, Carl waved his hand and had already jumped off the boat.
"Captain, they're not going to take the opportunity to run away, are they?" After Carl and Carlo were far away, one eye leaned over to Lehman and asked uneasily.
"Not really." Captain Lehman was confident, he stared at the backs of Carl and Carlo in the distance, and snorted coldly, "If you are not familiar with life, where can a 20 million Bailey's head go?" Unless he's unlucky enough to meet a bounty hunter who doesn't have long eyes, he'll definitely be back. ”
