My little brothers are all big guys

The captain's actions dealt a heavy blow to Raymond, but they were very effective.

After that, Raymond seemed to have given up and stopped running.

He would often watch the crew fight and exercise, imitate them, and work hard to become stronger in secret.

But he was the most useless and despised person in the entire pirate group.

As a pirate, he did not kill or rob when looting, but rescued the dying and the wounded.

Every time he was discovered by the captain or reported by someone, he would be beaten.

But Raymond was very happy. This approach seemed to be his self-salvation, and he never introduced himself to anyone as a pirate.

He was sixteen years old and was cleaning the cabin one day.

Seeing his best friend, Henry, who was four years older than him, actually coming out of the captain's room, his clothes were bulging with something.

"Henry, why did you come out of the captain's room?"

Ah, he was startled, and a pearl necklace appeared in Henry's arms and fell to the ground.

Raymond was shocked: "You, why did you do this? If the captain knew, the consequences would be serious."

"Shh!"

Henry motioned him to be quiet: "Raymond, my best friend, help me hide once, otherwise the captain will kill me."

Raymond agreed for the sake of friendship: "Okay, but don't go to gamble, it's a bottomless pit, you can't win."

"Okay, I promise you, this is the last time."

Henry perfunctorily said and left immediately.

Raymond shook his head helplessly, he would definitely not listen, after cleaning up.

The ship stopped at the port of the town, Raymond changed his clothes, took some change, and went to the town to buy things.

At dusk, Henry returned to the ship and saw the captain smashing the bottle on the ground in a rage. Many crew members were trembling with fear.

"Who is so bold as to enter my room and steal the treasure? You better admit it."

"Otherwise, if I catch you, I will skin you alive."

Oops, why was he discovered so soon?

Henry was panicked and terrified, just because the captain's methods were too cruel.

What to do?

Back in his room, Henry took out a bag of treasure. He only took half of it out and lost it all in gambling.

His mind turned quickly, and he was a little hesitant, but he still made up his mind.

I will not let my friend die, and I will not stop until I die.

He sneaked into Raymond's room, stuffed the remaining half of the treasure under the bed, and then immediately went to report to the captain.

He said that he saw Raymond enter the captain's room today, saying that he was cleaning, but he came out with a lot of things in his pocket.

When Raymond came back with a lot of things, what awaited him was a severe beating by the captain.

He was tied to a pillar, and the captain beat and scolded him.

He cried and argued that he was not the one who stole the things, but the captain did not believe him after he caught him red-handed.

Raymond, who was beaten and covered in blood, locked his eyes on his best friend Henry, hoping that he would stand up and admit the facts, but Henry did not look at him.

He completely gave up on this best friend and told the truth.

But Henry immediately quibbled and flattered the captain, and the captain chose to believe Henry.

"I will give you a profound lesson to let you know what not to do."

The captain took a dagger and carved a cross scar on Raymond's left cheek, leaving a permanent scar.

Raymond was scarred and thrown into the cell like a dead dog.

But he did not die, and survived bravely.

Since then, he has become taciturn and never smiled again.

Raymond is 17 years old!

The pirate group kidnapped the nobles of the Malaya Kingdom and tried to extort a high ransom.

In the cell, there was a man wearing noble clothes, gold-rimmed glasses, neatly combed middle-parted hair, and a black mustache.

The man was a little excited when he saw Raymond, who had a melancholy look, a depressed look, and a cross scar on his left face, coming to deliver food.

Raymond had been delivering food to him for a few days, and he left after delivering it.

"Little brother, wait a minute." The man shouted.

Raymond stopped and looked at him in confusion.

The man grabbed the iron railing with both hands, glanced around, and found that there was no one else, and said.

"I am William George, a great noble of the Malaya Kingdom. I found that you are a good person. Help me and save me, and I will repay you."

Raymond raised his head, without any brilliance on his face, and immediately refused: "I can't help you, don't say such things again, if someone finds out, you and I will be in trouble."

George didn't

Giving up, he quickly made a bunch of promises: "Little brother, don't leave."

"You don't want to be a pirate, do you?"

"If you save me, I can help you get rid of your pirate identity and set you free."

"What do you want? Wealth? Power? Fame, status, women, I can give them to you, and I can also recommend you to become a noble."

Raymond was very tempted to hear that he could get rid of his pirate identity, but he still chose to leave.

George still didn't give up: "Little brother, think about it."

At night, Raymond couldn't sleep, he was thinking about what George said.

In the end, he chose to give up and stop thinking about it, the risk was too great.

But fate was strange. Two days later, there was an opportunity in front of Raymond.

The pirate group docked to replenish supplies, the captain held a banquet, and everyone was drunk.

Only Raymond, who was doing odd jobs and cleaning, didn't drink, and he thought of George.

For a while, he struggled in his heart. He looked at the captain who was sleeping on the deck and the crew who had humiliated and scolded him over the years.

He really wanted to become a normal person again and regain his freedom.

He went to the cell and George looked at him.

Raymond whispered: "Does what you said count?"

George was very excited and promised: "Yes, of course it counts."

Raymond was cautious: "Then swear."

"I swear." George raised his hand without hesitation.

After a whole year, Raymond smiled again. He opened the cell door with the key and let George out.

The two walked out of the cabin carefully and came to the deck.

Raymond was in front, leading George, while avoiding people and obstacles.

George was very happy to see that he would soon reach the edge of the ship and climb down the rope ladder.

A wine bottle rolled to his feet, but he didn't notice it, but stepped on it.

George slipped and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Ah, he instinctively wanted to scream in pain, but he covered his mouth. Raymond was so scared that his heart almost jumped out.

Fortunately, no one was awakened.

In fact, they didn't know that Henry, who was not far away, opened his eyes for a while and immediately closed his eyes and went to sleep.

A few seconds later, Henry opened his eyes and shouted: "Oh no, the traitor Raymond ran away with the hostages."

...

Raymond and George, the two of them fled desperately, and the pirates' pursuers were chasing them closely.

Ha, uh, ha, uh.

George, who was pampered, ran a distance and was out of breath and fell to the ground.

"Little, little brother, help me."

Raymond looked back and saw that the pursuers were not far behind him. He gritted his teeth and went back to help George up.

"Raymond, you traitor are looking for death."

In the back, a pirate raised his knife and chopped at George's back.

George couldn't die, so Raymond pushed George away at the critical moment.

The falling sword mercilessly cut off his entire arm.

"Ah..."

Raymond let out a cruel howl, and blood gushed out from the broken arm.

...

After a chase, Raymond hid in the sewer and escaped with many scars on his body.

George also ran away, but he disappeared.

In the days that followed, Raymond hid from place to place and was hunted by the pirates.

A few months later, in the Kingdom of Malaya.

A beggar with a dirty body, a broken arm, and a cross scar on his left face walked on the street.

He exuded a foul smell, and pedestrians were disgusted and stayed away from him.

The beggar was Raymond. He asked people around to find out George's whereabouts, but no one paid any attention to him, and warned him to get out of the way.

He was weak, hungry, and helpless.

When he passed a high-end restaurant, his eyes lit up.

That was George.

George had regained his aristocratic demeanor, dressed in a suit and tie, elegant and noble, holding the hand of a beautiful lady, followed by a team of guards.

"Mr. George, Mr. George."

Raymond was very excited and ran over, but was stopped by the guards.

George looked at the beggar with disgust and didn't remember who he was at all: "Who are you?"

Raymond was blocked by the guards holding guns, but he didn't care and shouted: "Mr. George, I am Raymond, the one who saved you from the pirates a few months ago, have you forgotten?"

"You promised me that if I saved you, you would help me."

George finally remembered, but his brows were furrowed and he was not very happy.

The elegant woman beside him asked frivolously: "George, do you know that beggar?"

George was even more displeased and retorted: "I don't know him, he is just talking nonsense."

The lady seemed very interested: "Little beggar, you said he was caught by pirates?"

Although I don't know the other party's identity, but

Raymond blurted out: "Yes, I saved him, and he promised to help me and give me money."

The lady pulled her hand out of George's hand and said jokingly: "George, I didn't expect you to have such an experience."

George's forehead veins popped: "Shut up, this is slander, extortion, there is no such thing."

He said to the guard: "Beat this shameless guy and throw him out."

Raymond couldn't believe it: "Why? You promised, you swore, liar, liar."
