Chapter 16: Metal Monsters
"Charrell, Mafik is dead!"
In the middle of the night, on the bow of a blood-red battleship, the Grand Elder of the Committee, Mikhail, stood with his hands in his hands, and without a trace of emotion, he told the news of Mafik's death.
"You expected that, didn't you?"
Mikhail was standing beside a meticulous young man with combed hair, none other than Charrel, the navigator of the legendary battleship 'Bloody Mary', which belonged to the Commissioner.
In the face of Mikhail's account, he replied with a somewhat casual look, completely unable to show the respect he deserved for the Great Elder.
"When a hound can no longer capture its prey, the meaning of its existence is lost. Mafik, a mad dog, wants to be his master, so he has no more value, and it is not difficult for us to have another dog that can bite. ”
Compared to Charrel's carelessness, James, the current chairman of the committee, who stood one step behind Mikhail, was strangely respectful. When they replied, they were all half-hunched, and it was exactly the kind of humility that a servant treats his master.
Mikhail's eyes flickered, he stretched out his hand to caress the wood grain on the fence, and said meaningfully: "It has been too long since the port of Tux enjoyed peace, so long that people have forgotten the smell of blood and the existence of the Pirate King. ”
Charrell chuckled and said, "No, it's the wealth we've accumulated that is too tempting. When the name of the Pirate King is no longer intimidating, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the golden land of Tuxter Harbor. ”
Tust is located in the center of the golden shipping route where the seven oceans meet, and it is impossible to describe the speed at which it accumulates wealth. The Council has been manipulating this place for decades, and the gold coins stored in the treasury alone are enough to buy a nation.
When James heard Charrell's words, a trace of heartache flashed on his face, but he still said in a humble tone: "We have only been away for less than a day before someone can't help but do it, although Mafik's mad dog is insignificant, it is not something that everyone can solve."
The prestige of the Council has indeed been forgotten, and when you get the Pirate Code and be crowned the new Pirate King, no matter who you are, you will pay the price. ”
Charrell said with a slight sarcasm: "Except for the sinking greed, jealousy, laziness, **, the rest of the pride, anger, and gluttony are not in the hands of the committee.
Does President James think that the Bloody Mary and the Black Devil alone can defeat the arrogant, gluttonous, and dominate the seven seas?
If it weren't for the fact that the news of our anger had not yet been revealed, the arrogant master of Falk Sr. and the master of gluttony, Nicholas, were hostile to each other. Coupled with the ambiguous attitude of the other ten legendary battleship masters, Tuxter Harbor has long been ransacked. ”
Charrell's words made James unable to refute, although the committee was the only one of all the pirate forces with three legendary warships, but the only two remaining ships of the Seven Deadly Sins could be ranked among the top ten legendary warships, relying on real records.
And they have in their hands the Wrath in the clear sense of existence, that is, the Black Devil can be among the top ten legendary warships, but no one in the current committee can be recognized by the Black Devil, and only one Bloody Mary can be put on the table.
Mikhail heard the conversation between the two and shook his head, breaking the awkward silence.
"You only know that you can become a pirate king if you get the Pirate Code, but you don't understand what that means. Holding the "Pirate Code" can become the master of the 'King', and the location of the 'King' is known only to the Grand Elders of the Council of the past generations. ”
James raised his head sharply and asked in surprise: "Could it be the Pirate King's exclusive battleship, the 'King' that is above all legendary warships and can make the Seven Deadly Sins surrender unconditionally?" ”
Mikhail did not answer, but a wistful smile appeared on his face.
......
The darkness in front of Ling Ming was deep and frightening.
The sea wind was strong, the waves were up and down, and in the darkness, a huge warship like an ancient beast rode the wind and waves, moving at a speed far beyond that of a conventional warship.
A dazzling light suddenly flickered in the distant sky, and blinding lightning illuminated the huge battleship.
The monster-like golden battleship was illuminated by electric light, and the guns more than ten meters high were neatly arranged on both sides, but its appearance was an open monster made of bones.
The strangest thing is that the appearance of this battleship is completely different from the battleships that exist in the current story world, and is more similar to the magical version of a modern aircraft carrier.
All the metal in the port of Tuxter was devoured by greed and used to recast the hull. In particular, the gold coins stored in the committee account for the vast majority of it.
I believe that except for Shang Biao, there is no madman in this world who would do such a stupid thing of building a ship with gold, and it is also a battleship like a hill.
And no one but him could make such a huge metal battleship move at such a fast speed. Although there are some metal ships in this story world, power and speed are the biggest problems.
"Boom~"
A dull thunderclap rang out after the lightning, followed by another bolt of lightning that pierced the sky, leaving a cobweb-like trail.
The thunder became more and more frequent, and the new 'Greed' cast in metal was like a large lightning rod, and the thunder in the sky began to shift towards the Greed.
Another dazzling flash of light exploded, and a deafening thunderbolt exploded above the deck of the Greed, and a figure bathed in thunder.
The seal in Shang Biao's hand was constantly changing, and the whole person seemed to be dressed in a coat of thunder and lightning, and the rich electric light was floating on his skin as if it were alive, and it was gradually absorbed.
After the tea, the raging thunder dissipated, and raindrops the size of beans began to fall in the sky.
"Brother Nan's cow break!"
The obscene voice sounded, and a man wearing wide tortoiseshell glasses and white skin like Sven scum trotted to Shang Biao's side attentively, and the sycophants who didn't want money were shot out one after another.
"What's the matter?"
Shang Biao absorbed the last trace of electric light, and opened his eyes to see the only surviving living mouth of Tust Harbor. Had it not been for his guidance, the secret chamber where the Committee had been hidden would not have been found.
That credit alone wasn't enough for Shang Biao to spare his life, a self-proclaimed designer who was an avid military fan in the real world and familiar with the design of various warship thermal weapons.
The ability to transform greed into what it is today is also thanks to his guidance. In the ensuing battle, only he could use the full firepower of Greed, and Shang Biao decided to spare his life and took him to Devil's Island.
"That Brother Nan, I used the design concept of 'Atomic Annie' to make the big killer made by greed has been completed, Brother Nan, do you want to give this thing a loud name. After all, this is not a nuclear bomb, and it is a bit inappropriate to use the name 'Atomic Annie'. ”
