Pirate Nova

Chapter 6 6. The Other Side of the Island

The afternoon sun is still fierce, and even the sea breeze blowing from the sea can't completely wash away the 'stink' emanating from here. There are slightly dilapidated houses sitting in twos and threes on this small town. , a dirt dog with knotted hair beside the dry dirt road looked at Jack walking on the road with a little curiosity.

From a small town full of greenery to a dirty and dilapidated pirate town, even Jack was secretly amazed at the change.It was just before dusk in the afternoon, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.It is more appropriate to say that they are pedestrians, rather than pirates.

These people wear more or less dirty turbans for no other reason.The main reason is that it may take several months for the pirates to go to sea before returning to land, and during these months, the fresh water on board can only be used for drinking, and taking a bath is basically a dream.

Some people even shave their heads altogether, which saves time and effort.However, when these pirates passed by Jack, no one paid much attention to his existence. After all, a man wearing a black windbreaker with both a knife and a gun on his body obviously didn't look like an ordinary person who could be bullied at will.

Careful Jack noticed one thing, that is, although these pirates came in groups of twos and threes, the direction of the large troops basically seemed to be the same place.No matter the person who came out of the house, or the person who woke up instantly and got up from the street as reminded by the biological clock, everyone tacitly moved in one direction.

Of course, Jack was also in the mix.Not long after walking, bursts of noise came to his ears from a distance.

But when Jack saw the source of the sound, he smiled self-deprecatingly.That's right, I really didn't even think of this simple common sense, the only place where these pirates can go spontaneously is the tavern.

As the crowd entered the tavern, he found a high chair at the already crowded bar and sat on it.The tavern at this time was really deafening. Almost every table was full of people, whether they knew each other or not, they all got together, each holding a wine glass.

There was a lot of noise and shouting.There were even a few drunk pirates leaning on the wall in the corner to vomit. Compared with the other end of the island, the scene in front of them was quite different.

Most of the pirates are rude, they don't care about etiquette at all, as long as they eat and drink well, that's enough!Of course, Jack didn't reject the bold personality of the pirates, on the contrary, he enjoyed the atmosphere of the tavern here, feeling like a fish in water.

After taking a sip of the low-quality rum in his hand, the spicy drink ran along the intestines all the way to the stomach. After a few sips, I felt a warmth in the stomach, which was very enjoyable.

But just drinking and eating meat is not what Jack wants to do. Although he sits at the bar and drinks his own wine in peace, his ears and eyes are constantly observing everyone in the crowded tavern at this time.He scanned everything from what he knew to what he didn't know.After this "survey", he also found several notable prey.

Except for these few prey, the rest are basically pirates who don't have a bounty, or the residents living in this pirate town. Of course, these residents don't seem to be very good people.

After roughly figuring out the people in the tavern, Jack basically picked out his prey for tonight.He now has a deeper understanding of his own strength, and a fuller understanding of the physique of people in this world.He has made a lot of progress after going through the Merchant Marine War.

Whether it is physical fitness or the technique of using a knife, there have been great changes.These changes also made Jack more convinced of one thing, that is, the only way to become stronger in this world is to keep fighting.As long as you survive the battle and become the winner, the experience of each battle will be turned into a part of your own strength.

He now has a rough guess in his mind. Judging from his current strength, he should be about the same as the pirate with a bounty of 700 million.Although I am not very good with guns, at least I have made great progress with knives.Of course, now he can't reach the realm of 'cutting iron'.

Jack's eyes flicked to the table of pirates sitting in the corner of the tavern from time to time. The eight pirates sitting around the round table were bragging loudly to their companions about the previous robbery. The man in the turban showed his yellow teeth proudly, and kept drinking with the people around him.

Blood Scarf - Peterman offers a bounty of 550 million Baileys

Jack stared at the Peterman with the red turban for a while and then looked away. He was not in a hurry now.Just as every predator patiently waits for the prey to enter the most dangerous situation, he will only choose the time with the highest probability of success.

Of course, the best time to make a move is when they are drunk.

After waiting quietly for half an hour, Jack had already seen the result he wanted.There was no one sober at the table where Peterman and the others were sitting. Even Peterman himself was squinting his eyes while clutching his wine glass, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Jack got up slowly and left the high chair near the bar. Before he could walk towards Peterman and the others, the double doors of the tavern were kicked open. The 'bang' sound.

"Damn it, guys, I'm treating you tonight! Drink yourself up!"

As the door was kicked open, a group of angry pirates walked into the tavern.As they entered, the entire tavern became silent, and even those pirates who were still talking nonsense when they were drunk were woken up by the partners next to the sound and immediately shut their mouths.

The leader of this group of pirates looks like a gorilla, with a height of [-] meters and his broad shoulders like a sofa, the clothes on his body are tightly supported, giving people a kind of muscle The shock of tearing clothes.

After entering the tavern, the man didn't care about other people's eyes at all. After looking around, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and walked towards the table in the corner of the tavern.

"Hey, Peterman, are you still alive? Hahaha!"

"Huh? Brother Wood? Why are you here, hahahaha, long time no see!"

Peterman, who was still in a state of alcohol paralysis, woke up instantly when he saw Wood, and hurried forward to hug the big brother, and then moved the table directly from the pirate table next to him, motioning for Wood and the others. Come and sit.

The group of pirates who had their table robbed walked out of the tavern silently without farting, not even having the guts to take a look at Wood.

"Brother, I miss the days when I was on your boat a few years ago, hahahaha! At that time, I really didn't understand anything. If it wasn't for you, brother, I might have died to feed the fish!"

"Tsk tsk, Peterman, it's still you who can talk, hahahahahaha!"

"How have you been in the past few years? You must have made a lot of money. I saw your bounty increase a while ago, and you are almost catching up with me."

After hearing this, Peterman gave a mocking smile, waved his hands quickly, and kept shaking his head.

"Don't be kidding, Brother Wood, can my 550 million be compared to 1000 million? You are still amazing, big brother!"

"Hahahaha, come on! Brother, drink!"

"Okay, hahaha!"

The two just put their arms around each other's shoulders and started the next round of drinking, and the two groups of pirates also got together, the scene was unprecedentedly lively, even the other drinkers in the tavern who dared not speak They all returned to their previous appearance, and started yelling, drinking and eating meat.

Jack, who was sitting back in the high chair again, was a little speechless at this time. He knew that he should have done it in advance. Now that Wood, the "big fish", came, and he knew Peterman clearly, it would be bad for him if he did it.

Great Ape-Wood, with a bounty of 1000 million Baileys

An opponent of this level is not impossible for Jack to deal with, but it is more suitable to be a challenge.And if Wood adds Peterman, he is basically in danger.Jack, who originally wanted to do something, thought about it and decided to win steadily, find a better time, and deal with Peterman when he is alone.

Thinking of this, he didn't plan to stay in the tavern anymore. Since he had no chance to achieve his hunting goal tonight, he might as well go back to the hotel to rest before midnight.

Jack walked out and listened to the conversation between Wood and Peterman, but before he heard a few words, he was stunned by a name he heard.

"Brother Peterman, what happened to Denzel, why didn't he come to the island?"

"The kid said that he wanted to do a job on a merchant ship, but he was slaughtered in the end. It is said that even the bounty on his head was exchanged."

"Tsk tsk, I really like that kid. You and Denzel were the only ones on the boat who regarded me as the eldest brother. The last time I saw him was only a few months ago."

"Oh, what a pity"

Wood sighed with regret, leaned back on the chair and looked at the people in the tavern boredly.His eyes just happened to fall on Jack who was about to leave, and Wood's eyes swept over the man and nodded secretly.He also saw that Jack was indeed a capable person.

But just when he was about to look away, he suddenly felt that the knife on the man's waist looked strangely familiar for some reason, even the pistol that the man was using.After thinking for a few seconds, Wood suddenly remembered where he had seen these two weapons, and his eyes suddenly became cold.

"Hey, boy in black!"

Jack also felt bad when he heard it. He had already sorted out the cause and effect in an instant and cursed in his heart why he was so unlucky, but the matter can't be changed now.And he was not a man who would shrink back when something happened, so he stopped and looked at Wood's aggressive eyes.

"what happened?"

"Your knife belongs to Denzel, right? Did you kill him?"

"I killed it, do you have an opinion?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, even though that kid is dead, but I, the big brother, can't chill his heart."

After all, Wood raised his head and drank all the rum in the glass in his hand, then smashed the glass heavily on the table and stood up.

After hearing the movement here, the noisy tavern became quiet again.And the two people who are facing each other have begun to exude an extremely dangerous atmosphere, like two beasts meeting on a narrow road.
