Codex Pirates

Chapter 105 Jesus Cloth

East China Sea, Xiluobu Village.

The cold snap in autumn was no match for the enthusiasm of the people. An open space outside the village was full of heat instead of the tranquility of the past. The local residents eagerly gathered around a large arena. Cheers and whistles came from the crowd from time to time. This remote village has not been this lively for a long time.

A shooting competition is going on in the arena, but judging from the current situation, it has become a personal performance.

On a simple high platform on the east side of the shooting range, William was wearing a dark red cloak, Edmund, Dampier and Sherlock were standing not far behind him, and they were also surrounded by the arena. Attracted by the situation inside, he watched intently.

Several other players in the arena put down their guns helplessly at this time, watching a thin man with fluffy long hair and thick lips put down the old-fashioned flintlock pistol in his hand, and then picked up the referee and handed it to him. His revolver.

On the other side, several staff members acting as referees came to the shooting range and took away all the full-ring targets in front of the man's position.

The referee explained to the thick-lipped man the structure of this rare weapon in Donghai, but seeing the laziness on his face and the smell of alcohol, he didn't know whether he listened or not. When he took the revolver from the referee, After the pistol, he actually held the gun directly, came to the crowd on the sidelines, took a bottle of beer from a young woman wearing a square scarf, and gave the other party a passionate kiss.

The local villagers kept whistling, and waited for the young woman to push the man with thick lips in embarrassment, and then he walked back to the shooting range with a smile.

Dampier came here to test the data of the new weapon. He didn't like the manner of the man in the arena, and commented coldly: "I don't know."

"Jesus Bu is really a bit loose," Sherlock pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and explained with a smile, "But his marksmanship is well-known, and I have heard about it a long time ago, so I will Recommend to William."

While the two were talking, Jesus Bu in the field had already raised his pistol to aim at the newly installed target, took a sip of beer, and then slammed the trigger.

Boom!

There was a gunshot, but the target in the field was unscathed.

"Pfft!" Jesus Bu just made so many tricks and attracted a lot of attention, but now he missed the target, making Edmond sneer.

But as soon as Edmond's laughter fell, he saw Jesus moving his fingers and firing five shots in a row, emptying the bullets of the revolver, and all the five shots fell in the middle of the target. The difference is not more than half a centimeter.

William applauded lightly.

He is no longer the white-collar worker who has never touched a gun a few times in his previous life. Although he is not proficient in shooting, he also knows that it is not only the gunner himself who affects the shooting results of guns. In the same launch environment, even the same model of firearms will have different ballistics.

Not to mention the impact of the environment, time, etc. on the firearm itself, but Jesus Bu was holding a new-style pistol of an unfamiliar model, but after a test shot, he immediately found the pistol's ballistic. It can be said that it is an extraordinary talent.

This shooting competition was held in the name of the trading company that Sherlock actually presided over under William's banner.

This trading company named "Four Seas" by William held the competition in such a small remote village. A large part of the reason was to see if the Jesus cloth recommended by Sherlock was really as powerful as it was said in the legend. On the one hand, after several months of research and development, Dampier's weapon workshop has finally produced an experimental model of the revolver. I also want to take this opportunity to collect some weapon data and do some publicity for the launch of this new type of pistol in the East China Sea. .

Now it seems that there is no need to say much about the experimental data, but the first goal has been achieved. This game initially allowed players to compete with old-fashioned flintlock pistols, and then use new-style revolvers to highlight the advantages of new weapons, but In the first round, Jesus Bu showed his crushing strength, and his own marksmanship was known to everyone in the local area, so it didn't take long for other players to abstain, making the game a performance by Jesus Bu alone.

William left the things in the pirate group in his busy schedule, and went ashore alone to this somewhat remote village. It seemed that no time was wasted.

...

William brought Edmund, Sherlock and Dampier to Jesus' house in the name of giving prizes.

The home of this sharpshooter is no different from other residents living in the town. A small one-story house is located on a hillside. A small flower garden is surrounded by a low fence, and chopped firewood is piled up on the side of the house.

Jesus Bu has a bold personality and a carefree personality. He dared to shoot while drinking in the arena in full view, and naturally he would not be cautious because of the identity of William and others. Although many people in the village said that the host of this competition It is said that he was a big pirate, but Jesus Bu still generously invited several people to his home, and introduced his wife Benqina and his five-year-old son Usopp to them. Seeing that it was getting late, he directly Leave a few people for dinner at the exit.

Benqina is quite virtuous. When Jesus was cooking, she pushed Jesus out of the kitchen when he wanted to help. Even after William and the others sat at the dinner table, they rushed back and forth to pour beer for them. Then he sat at the end of the dining table with Usopp in his arms, taking care of the child who had been looking at William and others curiously for dinner.

Banjina has a beautiful appearance, but she has a long nose that is different from others. Usopp next to her obviously also inherited this, which looks inexplicably funny.

William, Sherlock, and Dampier are all sophisticated, able to control their gaze, and politely focus on other places, but Edmund is different. The nose and eyes of the mother and the child made Jesus frowned a little.

William patted Edmund on the shoulder, and the latter realized that he had behaved improperly and looked away. Seeing this, William smiled apologetically at Jesus, and silently toasted a glass of wine, which was regarded as an apology for Edmond's behavior.

Jesus Bu's complexion was a little pale, and he also raised his wine glass as a gesture, took a big gulp of beer, and then casually pointed in the direction of the living room with his chin.

From the direction of several people, they could see a suitcase thrown on the floor of the living room, which contained the prize money of this competition, but Jesus Bu threw it on the floor indifferently.

"Actually, I don't care much about the bonus. Can you give me that pistol as a prize?" Jesus Bu asked, "I don't care about the bonus."

"This is a bit difficult," Sherlock sipped his beer, looked at William, and said with a smile: "This pistol is still an experimental type, and it was just taken out this time to test some data, which is convenient for future research. Improvement, so there is no way to use it as a prize and give it to the contestants."

Jesus Bu heard the disappointment on his face. Compared with the old-fashioned flintlock pistol, the revolver is not only improved in ammunition capacity. This new type of pistol has improved percussion and bullet structure. Compared with the old-fashioned pistol, the improvement brought by it is comprehensive. of.

As a gifted shooter, Jesus Bu's understanding and intuition about firearms are beyond the reach of ordinary people. He has already seen the excellence of this pistol after using it just once.

In fact, Sherlock was not telling the truth. The revolver he took out this time was not that important at all. Now he was just playing some tricks under William's behest.

"With all due respect, Jesus Bu," William saw Jesus Bu's expression, and took the opportunity to say, "Being a farmer in such a village is really a waste of your shooting talent. I want to invite you on my boat. You deserve one." A bigger stage to display your talents."

(The detailed timeline of Jesus on the red-haired boat will be uploaded to the work when the author finds time, and the graphic version will be uploaded to the WeChat public account "Author Dezhong". , when the red hair invited Jesus to board the boat, Jesus did not board, because Usopp was not born at that time, and when Usopp and Luffy mentioned their father for the first time, Usopp told Jesus Bu I was shocked to join the red-haired pirates, so Usopp and Bancina should have never seen red-haired, red-haired has been waiting at Jesus Bu's house, and there is almost no possibility of him being invited to board the ship after giving birth, and Mei When Li told Kaya the story of Usopp, she also said that Bancina died not long after Jesus went out to sea, and Usopp had already started to understand at that time. In addition, considering that Bancina died of illness in the original book , and neither the mother nor the son thought about looking for Jesus Bu, nor did they see any news from Jesus Bu. At that time, Jesus Bu was probably already on the great route.)
