82. Chaos
What's worse than being charged protection money?
That is, they were charged several protection fees but were not protected!
Tavernkeeper Leon Horner is being pointed at gunpoint by pirates at this time. Five flintlock pistols, five black holes with muzzles from five angles...... At this time, he was afraid that one of the pirates who had drunk too much would pull the trigger and ignite the gunpowder in the chamber of the gun, shooting out a black projectile.
That's right, especially the guy in front of me with red cheeks and swaying and burping.
"Give...... Give money! The guy said with a hiccup, and even the gun in his hand shook slightly.
"I'll cooperate, but can I ask you to put your gun down!" Leon Horner raised his hands and said calmly.
"You lied to me!" The drunken pirate slapped the table: "As soon as we put down our guns, you will start fighting back, crackling and knocking us down." None of you hotel owners are simple. ”
Bang! Agitated fingers pulled the sensitive trigger, and the projectile shot out of the chamber under the impetus of the exploding gunpowder, scattering a bottle of fine wine behind the bar.
Pale yellow liquor flows over the wine cabinet, and the characteristic sourness of a certain vintage fills the bar.
Leon Horner was a little angry, that bottle of wine was worth about 100,000 Bailey!
"Hey! Your leaders are drunk! The tavern owner scolded angrily, "If you want money, you can take it yourself, in the cabinet to my left!" ”
"Hahaha! Sorry, went off! The pirate in the middle said embarrassedly, lowering his flintlock pistol to reload his gun with new pellets.
The pirates next to each other winked at each other, and finally chose a person to take the money.
"Doug, go to the bar and get the money!"
"Yes!" The youngest pirate said nervously, and warned the barkeeper again: "Don't move, or my gun will go off!" ”
It's not appropriate to call this young boy a pirate, a native of the Chambord Islands, who has just been recruited into the pirates and is currently working as a shipwright.
He had not yet gone to sea, nor had he plundered once.
This is a group of pirates who have failed to conquer the New World and retreated to the island of failure, and the captain is frightened by the monsters of the New World, and at this time he does not know whether to stick to his dream or return to the first half of the Great Voyage to make a fortune.
The broken pirates are docked at the port for repairs, but the progress of the repairs is slowing down day by day.
Before you know it, the entire pirate group has been on this island of defeat for half a year.
The looted savings were already spent in the first month of indulgence.
The terrible taste of bad wine and the stinking women brought by poverty undoubtedly made these pirates who had tasted the finest goods like hell.
So...... The pirates, who discovered that the underground order of the archipelago was beginning to become chaotic, soon began their own.
Young Doug removed the movable flap of the bar and stepped into the bar.
"Which drawer?" He tried to keep his composure, as if he were at ease, but the flintlock pistol in his hand trembled unobediently.
"The one closest to my left." The tavernkeeper said calmly.
"Then you stand farther away!" Doug threatened, and the tavernkeeper obediently shifted two steps.
Doug pulled at the drawer with some violence, then glared at the tavernkeeper.
"Why can't you open it?"
"I think you should twist the key on it," the tavernkeeper sneered, the corners of his mouth twitching so much that Doug's face turned red.
The pirates' eyes couldn't help but turn to the embarrassed Doug for a while.
Doug unscrewed the key, then jerked open the drawer.
Shout! With a thud, a bolt from the drawer pierced Doug's young chest and nailed to the wine cabinet. At the same time, the bar owner leaned down and hid under the counter, pulling out the shotgun under the counter.
A few shots rang out, and by the time the innkeeper stood up with the bullets in hand, the pirates had all fallen in front of the bar.
Applause and whistles rang out in this tavern! The drinkers who did not leave enthusiastically applauded the tavernkeeper's athletic skills, but at the same time, it was a pity that today's wine was not free.
The waiter carefully wiped the flintlock pistol with a white handkerchief, then inserted it back into his waist as he walked towards the bar.
"The owner...... It's a member of the One-Eyed Pirates. The waiter who pulled open the pirate's clothes and confirmed the pirate's tattoo said.
"Humph!" The tavern owner snorted dissatisfiedly, "Dispose of the corpse, I hope One-Eye won't care about these little minions!" ”
"Where to throw, boss?"
"Build the backyard first, with the previous batch, and wait until the evening is in the river!"
The tavern owner wiped the bar in disgust, but luckily the wine on the wine cabinet was all good bottled and bad, otherwise he would have lost a fortune. The only thing that distressed him was that the one who didn't have long eyes happened to hit a bottle of real.
Although he was accustomed to seeing wind and waves, the tavern owner at this time was still a little worried.
The one-eyed pirate captain One-Eyed Wallon has a bounty of 110 million, which was supposed to be done by the Orok family, who used to collect protection money.
Their crew broke the rules against the merchants of Chambord, damn it!
This is the underground rule of the Chambord Islands.
But...... Now that Lisandro Oroco, a native of the East China Sea, is dead, and the underground forces of the Chambord Islands are reshuffling, the besieged Oroco family is now in a state of anxiety and has long been unable to maintain the old order.
This month, the tavern owner paid a total of four protection fees.
A sum of money is handed over to the naval branch, which is not called protection money, but harmonious relations between the military and the people, and the people voluntarily donate military funds.
Used to upgrade our valiant navy, repair the base, or something.
Of course, in fact, the military lords spent them on women and wine.
Paying this money is just to ensure that his shop can be opened on this island, of course, if the pirates threaten a huge bounty, the navy will also intervene. But merchants often don't expect this to happen, because navies and pirates don't care about the lives and assets of civilians when they fight. It is better to say that the greater the movement at that time, the more benefits the navy will have...... If you succeed, you will arrest the most vicious pirates, and if you fail, you will be too cruel to take care of the civilians.
The other was given to the Orokco family.
Although with the death of Lisandro Oroko, a native of the East China Sea, the strength of the Oroko family has plummeted. But they are still the most powerful and powerful gangsters in the Chambord Islands.
However, half a month ago, the Orokco family abandoned the entire street after the death of a group of people, so the tavern owner paid a third protection fee to Casemiro, the new gangster magnate. I heard that he killed Lisandro Oroko, a native of the East Sea, and is the initiator of the anti-Oroco coalition, a ruthless character. Casemiro does not maintain order, or is incapable of maintaining order, and the tavern owner is reluctant to pay this protection fee.
A week ago, Casemiro struck a deal with Leon Kaez, the underground black boxing boss in the Colosseum on the street. Leon Kaze is not a good talker, he has a good group of underground black fighters under his command, and the tavern owner has to pay a fourth payment.
Crash...... The door that had just been nailed to the wooden board yesterday shattered again, and a burly pirate fell to the ground and rolled on the ground, pulling open the table in front of him and ramming.
"Stop, don't move!" The tavernkeeper, who was too lazy to put the shotgun back, aimed his gun directly at the intruding pirates.
Three young navies rushed into the tavern with the pirates. Their white naval uniforms were covered in ash, they wore a storm cuff on their arms, and one of them had scars all over his face.
Seeing the scene in front of them, the three of them gave a military salute to the innkeeper in unison.
"Thank you for your cooperation with our work!"
"Cut ......" the innkeeper spat unhappily and lazily lowered his gun.
The young navy took control of the pirate and led him out of the tavern.
On the street, a group of half-grown children, who are not yet gangsters, are gathering to fight, bricks and sticks flying.
"Give me all home!" The Navy fired a few shots into the sky, and the red-eyed teenagers scattered like startled birds.
The stalls that once lined the streets are gone, and the smell-sensitive residents close their doors, making room for the chaos and the homeless.
The young navy pressed the pirates who were more than half their body taller as they walked down the street, but one of the navy's eyes involuntarily shifted.
A pair of boldly dressed sisters with seductive bodies walked towards them head-on.
Their blue-purple hair was permed into exploding heads, their faces were beautiful, their faces were painted with exaggerated makeup, and they wore leather coats that were open in the middle. Black underwear and whiteness dazzlingly lit off by black can be seen in the open and bare large picture, and black fishnet stockings are worn on their slender legs - they look like "entertainment industry" workers!
Grunt...... The three young and vigorous navies swallowed.
"That...... May I ask you, where is the Chambord barrister going?"
"Chambord! Keep walking, turn right and turn left when you get out of this street! The navy pointed as he tried to pull his gaze away from the abyss.
"Thank you!" The two sisters bent over
"You're welcome!"
"Mr. Navy, you've bled ......"
Watching the young navy escort the pirates away, the two sisters walked down the street.
"Sister, the atmosphere of this island is so strange!"
"This island itself is the back garden of the Draconians, so it's normal!"
"The most important thing now is to get to Chambord Bar early and meet the mentor......"
