Black Pearl ......

Wayne stared at the three-masted schooping sail in the distance, its gray-white sails raised high,

The bow of the ship resembles that of the deep-sea monster Rahim, a massive head that resembles the head of an octopus, four pairs of eyes painted black, a face full of layers of folds, and countless tiny spikes in the ravines.

The scaly body has two sharp claws and a pair of fleshy wings, and below it are countless slender tentacles.

Dozens of tentacles extended backwards to connect the hull, forming a line of armor with countless sharp scales in front of the deck, and the rest of the tentacles went downward, as if combined to form the bottom of the ship.

On deck, hundreds of pirates with weapons in their hands stared excitedly, some even cheering loudly, as if they had found their prey.

"It seems that their target is us...... What would be the outcome of such a situation? ”

"That's the Storm Hunter," Ronan grimaced, "they're the main battle faction under the Black Pearl, they've been roaming the Sea of Cordor, and their rule - everything on board, take half." ”

"All of them?"

"Including the lives of the crew!"

Wayne frowned, "So, you have to fight them?" ”

"With their speed, even if we turn around and flee, we will only be able to hold out for two hours at most......"

There was a slight desperation on Ronan's face, if he hadn't been kidnapped by the red-haired captain...... If you requisition, you won't run into a Storm Hunter here.

"Two hours?" Wayne looked at the time, there was less than half an hour before the red moon rose, "What about their strength?" ”

"Captain Henrik, director level, the two deputy captains are of equal strength, not far from the director level, and there are some other ministerial-level ......"

Is there only one Director-General?

Wayne glanced at the pirates on the deck and saw that they all looked nervous, and some of the weaker bodies were trembling, and their eyes were full of fear.

"If you resist, will the rest of the voyage be affected? Like being hunted down by the Black Pearl, or are they also on a wanted warrant? ”

"Rebel, revolt?" Ronan's triangular eyes widened suddenly, "Red, Captain Ship, you're not going to shoot at them, are you?" ”

Wayne glanced at him, "Or, you're one of the dead half?" ”

Ronan snorted, his face changed, and he said solemnly: "If you kill them in the open, the Black Pearl will not only not retaliate, but will send people to recruit them." ”

"Recruitment?"

"Yes," a hint of respect flashed in Ronan's eyes, "that Captain Isabello is not afraid of any challenge, so he asks everyone in his command to do the same." ”

Wayne said thoughtfully, "Is the fittest survive?" ”

It seems that the emperor of the sea had a big heart, and except for the people on his ship, the ships that were separated or anchored were all passively accepted the competition.

Is this done to keep the Black Pearl competitive?

"That's probably it, there have been quite a few people who have killed ships under the Black Pearl over the years, but," Ronan hesitated and said, "Captain Henrik of the Storm Hunter would be in trouble if he died. ”

"Oh?"

"He stayed on the Black Pearl for nearly ten years before he became independent, so it is not ruled out that some people will do it privately......"

Ronan said it tactfully, but he had already made his meaning clear.

It's okay to kill, but it's better to leave some people's lives alive to avoid even more trouble later.

Wayne looked at the Storm Hunter as it got closer, "I have one last question, what will happen if you don't accept the solicitation?" ”

"Not accepting?"

Ronan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the red-haired captain was a member of the Eternal Life Society, and he had never been at sea, and it was estimated that he did not plan to stay at sea in the future.

"If you do not accept solicitation...... It will be troublesome. ”

"Huh?"

Ronan showed a wry smile, "If you choose not to join, you will be regarded as a challenger by them, and the Black Pearl will go all out to treat the challenger, just like the Alanika ...... in the Western Continent."

"In other words, if you lose to them, you will die, and if you win, you must join?" Wayne nodded knowingly, "Stop the boat." ”

"Yes, huh?"

"Stop the boat!"

"Yes, Captain!" Ronan hurriedly lay on the instrument plate, turned off the steam engine, and pulled the lever to control the boat to slow down.

"Wait here, I'll go and see."

With that, Wayne turned and walked out of the cockpit.

"Wei ...... Captain Marco,? When Claire saw him come out, she asked excitedly, "Can I shoot at them?" ”

"Perhaps," Wayne walked to the bow of the ship, waiting for the Storm Hunter to approach.

"Great, I knew that I couldn't sail every day at sea, it would be too boring."

The surrounding pirates heard the conversation between the two, looked at each other, and then pulled out their weapons at the same time, gritted their teeth and shouted, "Fight with them!" ”

"Yes, it's better to die in battle than to be chosen to be in half of the death!"

"Kill!"

"......" Wayne glanced at the pirates who were surging with enthusiasm, and waved his hand helplessly: "You go back to the cabin and wait!" ”

"Forehead ......"

"Why don't you hurry up and obey the captain's words and go back?" Ronan parked the boat and walked out to scold.

"This ...... Be! ”

When the pirates saw that the first and second officers had said this, they ran into the cabin in confusion, and leaned against the window to look out.

"You're not going to surrender, are you?"

"How is that possible? I didn't see that the first mate's face was red, so I almost took a pen and wrote two words, I want to kill someone! ”

"It's four words......"

"Anyway, wait and see, the Captain will show the Storm Hunter how he marksmanship......"

On the other side of the Storm Hunter, a group of pirates dressed in uniform saw the Ronan men take up their weapons, and their faces showed excited and bloodthirsty expressions, and then they ran back to the cabin......

"Are they resisting, or are they not resisting?"

"Looks like I don't plan to resist."

"That's not interesting......"

"Why don't they come out alone and fight you?"

A pirate wearing heavy chain mail and holding a scimitar pouted, "Forget it, the captain on the Ronan has some strength, and the others are not enough for me to slash." ”

"The old rule, resist all killing, don't resist killing half!"

Wayne looked at the Storm Hunter that was getting closer and closer, looked at the pirates on it, and said secretly: Not to mention their strength, they are much stronger than the people of the Ronan in terms of momentum alone.

At the same time, he also found what Ronan called Captain Henrik, a strong, pot-bellied man with a black three-cornered hat on his head, a red turtleneck jacket, and a black boat-shaped badge on his chest.

What he looks like...... I can't say it's ugly, I can only say that I don't see it.

There are more than a dozen scars on his face, especially the one at the corner of his mouth, which almost runs through half of his face, and it looks like he has been on the battlefield for a long time.

In contrast, Wayne was overwhelmingly dominant in terms of appearance with Marco's face.

"It's ugly!" Claire also saw the captain on the other side and pouted, "I'm suddenly not interested in them." ”

"That's right, you stay here and keep watching." Seeing that the distance between the two sides was less than five kilometers, Wayne dodged out after dropping this sentence.

"Niko, Rook." (Flashing.) ）

"Huh?!" Claire was stunned, and when she saw that Wayne had already appeared on the other party's boat, she couldn't help but feel depressed.

Just because you're not interested doesn't mean you won't make a move......

"Huh?"

The pirates aboard the Storm Hunter reacted quickly, and almost as soon as Wayne appeared, someone rushed at him, and muskets fired at him.

Bang, bang......

"In such a hurry?"

With a tap at his feet, Wayne dodged to the Storm Hunter's watchtower, activating the Talent-Spirit Transformation, increasing the Origin Power to three hundred and maintaining a balance between the Resilience and Spirit levels.

"Damn, you dare to take the initiative to run over to our Storm Hunter and get out of here!"

"Bastard, kill him!"

“……”

Captain Henrik sat on a chair made up of hundreds of skulls on the roof of the ship, his hands caressing the jade skull on the armrest of the chair, his slender eyes opening a slit, and looking at Wayne indifferently.

Next to him, a white-faced young man leaning on the railing, wearing armor on the upper half of his body, and two mechanical legs on his lower body, looked at Wayne with pity, "Who are you?" The people on the Ronan? ”

Wayne gave him a strange look, "Didn't you see me running over there?" ”

The white-faced young man's face sank, "No matter who you are, die!" ”

"First mate Hasge, kill him!"

"It's too arrogant!"

Wayne noticed the hint on the panel, Henrik's killing intent only gained 20 survival points, Director?

"Oh? I also want to say, is it possible not to fight...... Are you sure you can't let us through? ”

"Let you go? You ......"

"Hasger,"

At this point, Captain Henrik interrupted, "Shut up! ”

As the words fell, the noise and shouting of all the pirates on the deck stopped instantly, and not a single one made a sound.

"Seeing that we dare to take the initiative to find us, you are the first in five years!"

"So what?" Wayne asked calmly, "Can't you let us go?" ”

"The rules have long been set, as long as half of the people on your ship are dead, you can go."

"Can't you negotiate?"

Hearing the word 'consult', the pirates below were about to burst into flames as they glared at Wayne, and if it weren't for the order, their spit would have spewed into his face.

"Discuss?" Captain Henrik stared at Wayne, a cruel smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, and squirmed along with the scar on his face, making his whole person look even more terrifying, "Of course you can die here, I can make an exception and let them go." ”

"I die alone and save everyone else?" Wayne had a slight smile on his face, "Seems like a good idea......

First mate Hasg couldn't help but speak: "Even if you don't agree, your name must be included in the half of the death......

Rumble!

Before he could finish his sentence, Henrik next to him smashed a punch on him, smashing him into the cabin.

"I said, shut up—"

"I'm sorry, Captain." After the first mate Hasg got out of the hole, he covered his shoulders and whispered an apology.

Wayne raised an eyebrow, he was indeed a ruthless pirate leader, no wonder Ronan put on that desperate and fearful look when he first met.

"Humph!" Henrik snorted coldly, looked at Wayne and said, "It's less than a minute away from the Ronan, take your pick." ”

Wayne shook his head, "I refuse. ”

A pirate ship that has been rampaging the Sea of Cordo for decades, a captain who demands to kill at least half of the people when he encounters any ship, a gang of vicious pirates......

Then, kill them!

"Then you're ......"

"Hear me out, Captain Henrik," Wayne interrupted with a raised hand.

"Huh?"

"I'll let you make a choice, okay?"

"Choose?" Henrik's eyes that were squeezed by the fat stack widened suddenly, and a cold aura spread, and a layer of dark blue flames shrouded Zhou's body, "You want me to choose?!" ”

"Don't be angry yet,"

Wayne saw the flames on his body and said calmly: "I'll give you two choices, one is to let us pass, I will only kill half of your people, well, including you, the captain." ”

"Or choose to resist, and I'll clean everyone out of this ship."

quiet

Unusually quiet,

The whole ship was dead.

[You are locked by Henrik Dimmit's killing intent...... Bonus: +15 Survival Points. 】

【……】

[You are locked by Seth Clijsters' killing intent...... Reward: +1 Survival Point. 】

"Kill half? Also me? Haha......ha

Henrik laughed angrily, the skull in his hand shattered instantly, and the chair under him cracked.

One swarthy skull after another rolled to the side and fell down the roof of the ship to the deck.

And that crazy and murderous laughter made the whole ship shake, and even the calm sea below the ship set off waves.

The eyes of the first mate next to him who looked at Wayne changed from looking at a dead man to looking at an idiot......

Originally, half of the life was still left on the Ronan, but now I am afraid that everyone can only be wiped out.

The pirates on the deck below looked at each other even more, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

Did you hear that right?

Anyone would dare to make such a choice against the Storm Hunter and Boss Henrik?

Where did the idiots come from!

On the other side, the triangular-eyed captain on the Ronan heard Henrik's laughter, and his body couldn't help but shudder, "Great, first mate, is the red, red-haired captain angry with them?" ”

"You're saying the opposite."

Claire looked at Wayne standing on the Stormhunter lookout in a daze, and couldn't help but think of that night in the city-state of Custer.

I remember that Wayne had this expression when facing those Vazquez people - not crazy, nor did he look angry, but just calm, indifferent to the extreme.

"He is now completely enraged!"
