My friends are all pirates

But the very few pirates who have achieved great success will still inspire others to follow in their footsteps.

In the tavern, the sailors who were full of expectations for the future spoke profanely, swearing, making dirty jokes, and saying some metaphors that only those who often go to sea would find funny.

Ah Sherid didn't realize where the joke was.

On the contrary, there were several new faces that attracted Al Sherid's attention. When they boasted about their sailing career, they clearly showed their love for violence.

At the same time, they also believe that anyone who can endure being thrown into prison should not be a sailor on a merchant ship, because boarding a merchant ship is no different from entering a prison, on the contrary, there is more possibility of drowning.

Asherid listened to this part with great interest, but had reservations.

After a while, Ashred finally saw Henry.

Henry came out from the passage leading to the back of the tavern. He stepped on the box that the tavern had prepared for him, so that he was a head taller than everyone else, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

In the tavern, it gradually became quiet.

Chapter 3 Give me a shot if you're a brother

Henry looked around.

The first thing he noticed was the group of unfamiliar faces.

The Shore Brotherhood is a big gang in Ysera. Although its organization method is different from the general gang, its unity and xenophobic degree are the same.

The locals know that the ships of the Brotherhood of the Coast do not carry outsiders.

In fact, even outsiders, if they pay attention to the Brotherhood of the Coast, know this.

If these people are not newcomers who want to get rich and want to go crazy, then it is very likely that they have ulterior motives.

But Henry didn't need to screen them at all.

Anyway, he would not accept outsiders on board, no matter who they were.

"Friends who don't know each other." Henry said loudly, "Today is a family gathering, and it's already reserved. Please come back another day."

He still kept his basic politeness.

Nor did it carry out the Brotherhood of the Coast name.

"I heard that a ship from the Brotherhood of the Coast has returned and plans to start again."

In the crowd, someone said so.

The crowd parted a way and exposed the man.

The man was wearing a denim overalls with a blue vest, a pair of baggy trousers, unlace-up leather shoes on his feet, a large scarf around his neck, and a tie on his belt. He had a short knife and a flintlock pistol.

His clothes looked tattered and had a strong smell.

Yasherid put down his wine glass and walked nearby silently, and then smelled a smell of tar, which came from the other party's coat.

When the man opened his mouth to speak, he showed his crooked and discolored teeth, a common trait of the lower world.

The gap between rich and poor in Pirate World is greater than the difference in technological level. Basic health protection is a luxury for many people. A better reason to convince yourself.

There are so many pirates roaming the sea, even after going through the intercourse of peers, hunting by bounty hunters, and a series of hunting and killing by the navy and the armed forces of various countries, there are still a large number of pirates who can enter the great waterway every year amazing.

Not only the scale, but also the destructive power is increasing day by day.

In recent years, there have been more and more news that many kingdoms failed to destroy pirates but were grassed.

In the future, the veteran Shichibukai Crocodile almost wiped out the superpower Alabasta.

It's scary.

Of course, these are far from Al Sherid.

"What does our ship have to do with you?" Henry said in a flat tone, "Any ship of the Brotherhood of the Coast does not accept outsiders, and you look like an old sailor, you don't know this, do you? "

Although this person looked like "I'm not easy to mess with", Henry didn't like this.

He can be selected as the captain every time, and he has never been banned. Of course, he still has hard work in his hands.

Only those with sufficient knowledge, courage and force can get this position.

The crew will not believe that a cowardly man can protect the collective.

"But we can bring you better information." The person who seemed to be the leader of this small group said, "You may not know our origin, but I can tell you alone."

Asherid looked around and found that he couldn't find any suitable wine bottles, because they had already been snatched up by the nearest people.

Reflecting on his lack of proficiency in the business and being slow to strike, Asherid drew out his dagger and prepared for a fight.

The others present mostly used short knives.

It is said to be a short knife, but it is actually about [-] centimeters long. The blade is slightly curved and the blade is thick. It is very easy to cut or stab. It can also be used to cut rigging and sails. , close hand-to-hand combat weapons used in places with limited space.

For a certain reason, Asherid used a double-edged long and short sword as a weapon.

This makes him an outlier in the weapons category, which is a bit of a standout on this occasion.

"You are insulting the Brotherhood of the Coast." Henry said, "It seems that you are all foreigners. If you apologize now, I can persuade your companions to let you leave safely, but you must keep all your weapons."

"I heard that people in the Coastal Brotherhood don't care about the outside world, why? Don't you even know the Baroque Work Club?"

The leader of the strangers laughed.

The people who came with him also laughed wildly and made various supporting actions of "brother background is very hanging" very cooperatively.

The members of the Brotherhood of the Coast watched them silently without speaking.

But someone has already pulled out the guns.

As a result, the laughter of people from other lands gradually diminished until they disappeared.

The atmosphere began to become tense.

The leader held the handle of the knife, but his heart was actually not as fearless as he showed himself.

The identity of the president of the Baroque Work Club is very mysterious, and he has never appeared in public. No one in the club knows his true identity, but the organizational purpose of establishing Utopia has indeed attracted many people, and the Baroque Work Club has not Hi Guangkou, the series of actions formulated by the top management at least seem to be creating a more stable environment.

Establishing an utopia, something that sounds ungrounded, has amazing vitality in the world of pirates.

Today's Baroque Work Agency has begun to expand its influence overseas.

The Ysera Pirates, or Brotherhood of the Coast, is famous in this sea area for its unity and the availability of all kinds of talents, so the people in the organization who are responsible for developing this market have taken a fancy to this large-scale local group and plan to absorb it .

The average local group has nothing like the Brotherhood of the Coast, and is mostly just a ragtag bunch of people who don't have a decent job.

In principle, the Baroque Work Club does not recruit pirates as official members. On the contrary, it is going all out to fight against pirates. After all, how can there be a place for pirates in Utopia?

It's shameless to say it, the character design will collapse.

But in the actual environment, it is really difficult to tell whether a sailor has been a pirate these days. In this era, any individual or group that has gone to sea, if they say they have never been a pirate, let alone have done something similar The behavior of pirates has very low credibility.

So everyone defaults that everyone who goes to sea may become a pirate at any time, it just depends on whether it is necessary.

This is true even of baroque workshops.

For example, among the group of people who are responsible for raising funds for activities, the leaders are called "executive commanders", but in the process of raising funds, the executive commanders will inevitably behave like pirates.

Of course, these are all rumors.

Therefore, like the Brotherhood of the Coast, although there are pirates, but they are still "regular" local groups, the front-line workers of the Baroque Work Agency do not regard them as "real pirates".

They also sincerely hope to include this kind of local group with cohesiveness and strong execution ability into the team pursuing the ideal township, so as to supplement the serious shortage of grassroots staff in the community.

"Baroque Works, of course we know." Henry said indifferently, "But we don't believe in empty truths, so we shouldn't use that kind of rhetoric here."

Henry is still very clear about the positioning of his own group.

The Brotherhood of the Coast has indeed become more and more difficult in recent years. After all, they are just a mutual aid group in an area, with very limited manpower and equipment.

The pirates who obtain wealth through the most direct plundering activities are the least popular among pirates. The real big pirates all directly occupy islands or control ports, and use large-scale trade commissions, issuing passes and collecting ports. Using service fees and other methods to attract money is too formal, but maritime robbery has become a sideline.

The reason why this kind of pirates are still called pirates is only because they are hostile by the world government and various alliance countries.

Baroque Works is actually similar. As a new organization that emerged in the Kingdom of Alabasta in recent years, this organization is really ruthless in fighting pirates. It is very popular among the people of Alabasta, so it expands quickly, but their The purpose of the organization is actually not in the interests of the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Do you mean that the Royal Family of Alabasta is the biggest reactionary?

The Brotherhood of the Coast doesn't care about the utopia. For them, as long as the Kingdom of Alabasta doesn't define them as pirates for a day, they are loyal citizens of the kingdom.

But when the leader of the foreigner heard Henry's words, he felt that today's business could be negotiated.

After all, it wasn't the first time he had heard the other side say that.

bro!You know nothing about our ideals!

"Brother, you don't know anything about our organization!"

"I don't want to know!" Henry's face darkened.

Why doesn't this person listen?

"Let me introduce myself first." The leader of the foreigner said enthusiastically, "I am the 'elder' of Baroque Works, my code name is Mamba, and I am responsible for finding like-minded companions to join our big family."

Henry pulled out a flintlock pistol from his waist, stepped forward, and pressed it against Mamba's chin.

"If you go on talking, my hands will shake."

According to Henry's cognition, these people or organizations shouting "Utopia", one counts as one, and all of them are gangsters.

This kind of organization will be filled with a large number of people with brain problems, or they will treat others as having problems with their brains. Maybe there are some who are not afraid of death, but considering that most of them must be bastards, most of them are afraid of death.

Henry thought to himself, the Brotherhood of the Coast and the Baroque Work Society haven't had any conflicts for the time being, so it's fine to scare people away.

"Come on, friend!" But the baroque work agency leader code-named Mamba grabbed Henry's hand with excitement, as if ignoring the gun against his chin, and said loudly, "If this One shot doesn't kill me, we are family!"

Henry pulled the trigger immediately without any hesitation.

Chapter 4 Embarkation

boom!

Gunshots resounded through the tavern, accompanied by the smell of sulfur permeating the gunpowder smoke.

The unusual silence in the tavern was broken by gunshots, but the leader of the alien named Mamba survived.

He held Henry's hand, his enthusiasm was fake, and his boldness was even more feigned. He was afraid that Henry would really shoot.

So he avoided the deadly shot in a pinch.

But he was not safe and sound, covering his ears and screaming. Although he avoided the bullet piercing his head, he lost one ear.

And Henry failed to shoot, and kicked him to the ground.

The pain was terribly painful, and there was no way to fight back.

Asherid was not surprised by such a reaction.

When I first watched One Piece, the guns were funny, and they were useless except for some background effects.

But for ordinary people, guns are still a proper killer.

Generally speaking, flintlock pistols have limited power and are completely inaccurate, so they can only be used at close range. However, if they are replaced with flintlock rifles, not only is the barrel longer, the accuracy is much higher, and the caliber is also large. Blast the arms or shoulders of ordinary people directly.

Therefore, in this world, to evaluate whether a person is an ordinary person, you can see whether he can be shot.

Taking this guy on the ground as an example, it is obvious that he is an ordinary person.

By this time, the surrounding Shore Brothers had cornered the strangers.

The biggest advantage of Asherid is his gregariousness, and he also squeezed together, swinging a dagger in front of people's faces.

But at this time the protagonist in the field is still Henry.

"Playing this with me?" Henry looked at the Mamba, who was covering his ears and howling, his eyes were cold. "You can hide quickly, this time it's cheaper for you."

He treats surrendered prey humanely and jokes with acquaintances, but he can also be brutal.

"Take your leader and get out of town!" Henry said to the group of Baroque workers, "I'll give you an hour."

Hearing this, a crew member who came to assist in the recruitment left immediately.

Off to inform the rest of the Brotherhood of the Coast.

The Baroque Work Club may be flourishing on the Isle of San Dinge, but the Brotherhood of the Coast is really worthy of it. After all, it is also a place that can pull out thousands of young men and people to open movies. More than half of the members They are all heroes who can handle guns proficiently. If there is a fight, it is hard to say who will suffer more.

After Henry spoke, everyone put away their weapons and switched to punching and kicking to drive the members of the Baroque Work Club out of the tavern.

Mamba was taken care of and dragged out.
