Chapter 02: Ambush
"It's true," the big man who spoke just now said dissatisfiedly: "I told the story through the transmission of the bird, that pirate group is called the Yarrita Pirates, I heard that the name of the pirate ship is Miss Rab Daku, the captain is a female pirate, the name is Yarrita, and the bounty is 5 million Bailey!"
Lin Xiao was speechless, the author of the One Piece manga is Eiichiro Oda, who was born and grew up in Toei, and the face value of the currency used in the manga is naturally close to the Toei monetary system.
5 million berry, converted, at most a bounty of 50,000 yuan
Lin Xiao's heart moved when he heard this, leaned over, and whispered, "Hey, is what you said true?" Is there really a group of Yarrita Pirates next to our town? ”
The man with a thick figure and a full beard suddenly blushed, glared and said:
"Am I going to lie! That group of pirates is near the bay more than ten miles away from here, and I saw it with my own eyes when I went out fishing this morning! ”
The others sighed, "I just hope those pirates don't mess around the town."
This is the era of pirates, and there are people from all over the world who have joined the high-risk, high-reward profession of pirates. It's almost comparable to the official ape of my Great Celestial Empire. Because of this, pirates are not as vicious as everyone imagines - after all, they are all raised by their parents, and who has not yet had a family, and they will not do vicious things such as killing them all and destroying people.
But it doesn't matter to scavenge some money, flirt with a few chicks, or catch a strong man, fill up a vacancy for sailors, and so on.
The pirates are in pursuit of wealth and treasure, and in a way, they resemble the ancient Chinese rangers, roaming the rivers and lakes. Punish adultery and eliminate evil, okay, I'm talking the opposite.
Lin Xiao is not in a hurry, after going through so many missions in the World Realm, he naturally has some confidence in his chest, pirates or something, even if he is not an opponent, it is not a problem to retreat with his whole body. As for the aborigines of the town, hehe, who can bury millions of human beings in a country without hesitation, would they care about these people?
At this time, the only thing I can do is wait! Wait for your time!
Now I look like a bee that has broken into the flower room, blind in both eyes, and I don't even know what to do with the main quest. However, although the juggernaut is cheating, he will not issue impossible tasks. So Lin Xiao is waiting, waiting for an opportunity
For now, Lin Xiao has faintly locked on two directions: one is the pirates at sea, and the other is the robin.
(A fictional bird in One Piece that specializes in delivering newspapers and doesn't go to the windless zone, so there are very few newspapers in the windless zone.) One of the messengers, the other is the famous slug, sticky snail, telephone bug)
In the tavern, the noisy and noisy sound continued, but the sunlight shining in from the window began to move westward little by little, pulling the figures of everyone to the long.
Whew~~Whew~~
The dilapidated wooden door began to moan lowly, and the canvas hanging outside the tavern began to shake. Lin Xiao only felt a chill on his body, and his spirit was suddenly shocked.
The wind is blowing!
It is the wind blowing from the sea, carrying the warmth and saltiness of the sea and the natural fragrance of coconut palms, which sweeps away the heat of summer.
After a few minutes, the canvas flagpole of "Bells and Glasses" hanging in the doorway began to shake violently, and the two dilapidated door panels began to moan hoarsely, and the original foul-smelling tavern had been swept away by the wind that poured in, bringing a burst of fresh air.
The wind grew stronger, and after only a few minutes, the sky outside the tavern, which was still bright, suddenly darkened, and the tavern fell into darkness. And the breeze that originally brought a burst of coolness has also changed, turning into a whistling and circling wind, bringing everyone not a cool feeling, but a trace of cold to the bone!
After a while, there was a sound like fried beans outside! The raindrops of soybeans are knocked on the bluestone slab, splashing a puff of gray smoke rings, the rain is big plantain, the rainstorm is like a note, the jingle is crisp, and the big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate. It's quite a poetic taste. Of course, horror is only Lin Xiao's opinion
"Damn, it's raining! Lao Tzu is still planning to go fishing in the evening, but now the mother-in-law and children at home are going to starve again. ”
“”
Violent storms are a normal thing for residents who have lived near the sea for a long time. However, there are still people who are worried:
"With such strong winds and waves, it is very dangerous to sail at sea. If you're not careful, you can be sucked into the sky by a sea spout. Those pirates might come ashore."
Lin Xiao's heart moved, looking at the dark clouds rolling in the sky outside and the lightning that crossed from time to time, his eyes were extremely sharp!
"This rain...... It's the opportunity of the Nightmare Space! ”
He took a deep breath of the air, which was mixed with the smell of earth and rain, and strode out of the tavern, despite the pouring rain outside.
At this time, it was about five o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as he walked out of the tavern, a gust of cold wind blew in his face, and the huge force tore at the thin and shabby linen shirt on Lin Xiao's body, and the cold rain hit his body cold and painful. Lin Xiao muttered dissatisfiedly, bowed and walked away, looking at the direction, but it was the seaside!
At this time, the sea is completely no longer calm when it first appeared, the huge waves on the sea are monstrous, the waves are turbulent, the white waves are like a silver necklace, across the entire sea, with the lightning that crosses the sky from time to time, Lin Xiao visually surveyed, the height of these waves is nearly 10 meters.
Even if Lin Xiao is an adventurer with a completely digital body, he is still irresistible under the pressure of this heaven and earth! Rushing into the sea is simply looking for death.
Manpower is sometimes exhausted, and the world is infinitely far away. In the face of the angry sea, if it is a tiger, you have to lie down, and if it is a dragon, you have to coil it!
“…… So, the Yarrita Pirates will be looking for a bay to dock in this storm, and for sure, they'll be in the middle of the village! ”
In the chat just now, Lin Xiao has learned that the environmental conditions around this town are similar to karst landforms, and the coasts on both sides are steep cliffs left by the erosion of the sea.
“…… And the only shelter from the wind and rain near this coast is near the town! ”
A bay about two miles away from the town is the reason for the town's rise, but at this time, it has become a source of disaster......
Even if the Yarrita Pirates hadn't discovered this quiet and peaceful town before, under this overwhelming storm, the town would definitely come into the sights of this group of pirates, and when the time came......
“…… Now that the sea is windy and stormy, no matter how powerful these pirates are, it will definitely have a certain impact on the ship. And listening to the person just now, the Yarrita Pirates are about ten miles away from here. Considering the influence of the weather, the power of the ships to sail in this era, a rough estimate is that those pirates will arrive in about two hours! …… It was around seven o'clock in the evening. So, let's go. ”
Lin Xiao thought about it silently, looked up at the world realm that had become blurred under the storm, a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he strode towards the sea.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Xiao had already arrived at a place about a mile away from the sea. Fortunately, there was a temperate sclerophyll forest tree about three meters tall on the seashore, and although Lin Xiao didn't know the name of the tree, he deduced it from the leaves of these trees. The leaves of these trees are covered with a light layer of grease and waterproofing, which is typical of temperate sclerophyll forests.
Lin Xiao sighed, "Geography is finally not in vain!" Teacher, you can look down."
He swooped into the woods, and a long, boring wait followed.
The wind and rain were like obscurity, and the sky and the earth were dark. The wind continued to howl, the black clouds were still rolling and accumulating, and between heaven and earth, as if a curtain had been opened, endless rain was pouring down.
Night, ten past seven. Just as Lin Xiao frowned and pondered whether his inference was wrong, there was a click, and a lightning bolt like a silver snake suddenly crossed the sky!
With the light of this lightning, Lin Xiao clearly saw a big ship painted with red grease appeared on the surface of the sea! The length of this corsair is about sixty meters, the height is about six meters, and it is divided into two layers. The specific situation was publicized but he didn't see it clearly, but he saw a clear sign - a swan painted with a red heart! The emblem of the Yarrita Pirates!
Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly: "It's here!" ”
The pouring rain continued, and the ground seemed to turn into a country in the water. After more than ten minutes, there was a faint sound on the path next to the woods.
A minute later, the first tall pirate walked past Lin Xiao. The pirate held a huge machete two meters long in his hand and a barge gun with a wooden handle pinned to his waist.
Lin Xiao clearly heard the pirate scolding and shouting, "Hurry up in the back!" It's time to get to the town, and everyone can do whatever they want when the time comes! Ha Lu Ha! ”
As the big man shouted, there was a burst of laughter from behind. This group of big men walked past Lin Xiao one by one, but Lin Xiao lay quietly in the grass as if he hadn't heard or seen it at all.
In this way, groups of pirates walked past Lin Xiao in groups and cursed. And during this period, a huge fat female pirate with a height of 1.70 meters and a weight of about 200 kilograms walked past Lin Xiao in the escort of everyone, and when the female pirate passed by, the ground seemed to tremble slightly! It's the leader of this gang of pirates - Yarrita!
After another twenty minutes or so, Lin Xiao stood up, looked back at the already brightly lit town, and then walked out of the woods, looking at the direction of progress, it turned out to be the seaside!
