Chapter 262 Defense

Ender also listened for a while, and then said to the other roommates in the house: "I heard that when I came here, Abram and the others seemed to be planning to write a joint letter after hearing about Mickey Malonko, requesting the school's permission to let the students also Go to war."

"Abram wasn't even born in the East China Sea, so why join in the fun?" a person in the dormitory asked.

"But our school is in the East China Sea, and the leader of this battle is the headmaster." Ender said.

Sabo sighed and couldn't help but look at the letter on the table.

This letter is not from Ace or Luffy, but from his former roommate, Hughes Holt.

In the dormitory at that time, Hughes Holt, who was born in a slum area, was the oldest, and he had graduated for a while now.

It’s just that it’s different from what others expected. After graduation, Hughes Hult took the initiative to apply to leave Kalmar City and go to a place to help manage the work in the countryside. In his words, the life he is living now is already the life he used to He dared not even think about it. He hoped to do something for people from the slums.

When Hughes Holt was still in school, his relationship with Sabo was not particularly close. On the contrary, after he went to the countryside, the two often exchanged letters, and their relationship became much closer.

Hughes Holt said in the letter that not only Kalmar City has been boiling recently due to the mobilization in the newspapers, but even the local area has been affected a lot.

Sabo sighed, closed the book, and stood up from his seat.

"Sabo, what are you doing?" Ender asked subconsciously when he saw this.

"Go to Abram, I'm also going to add to the joint book," Sabo said, then turned to look at the other people in the room, "Are you going?"

...

In Black Lagoon Town within the Kingdom of Navia, Johnny and Joseph left the pier. After looking around, they inquired all the way to a tavern in the town.

There were a lot of customers in the tavern. After the two young men found a seat and sat down, the young and capable tavern proprietress Mary came over after a while.

While recording the food and wine ordered by the two, Mary looked at their outfits and asked, "Did you two come here specially because of the mobilization in the newspaper?"

"How do you know?" Johnny asked, scratching his head.

The proprietress Mary pursed her lips and smiled. This mature and coquettish smile made the two vigorous young people look dumbfounded. They only heard her say: "People like you are here these days. At least, there are only two of you, so young, and armed, is there any other reason for coming here?"

Mary kindly persuaded: "I will help you avoid this order today, you should go back, your ideas are very good, and I admire your enthusiasm, but Golden Lion Shiji is not an ordinary person, and Kalmar City and The number of airships and hot air balloons in Baisong Town is not enough, so we can only choose the elite to fight, and I am afraid that if you go there, it will be a waste of time."

When Joseph heard the words, he boasted loudly with a young man's unyielding tone: "Don't underestimate us, the two of us are bounty hunters, Johnny and Joseph, although we haven't debuted for a long time, but Already famous!"

Mary's expression changed when she heard this, and she subconsciously looked at a wine table behind Johnny and Joseph.

Seeing this, Johnny, who was more careful, looked back subconsciously, and saw the drinkers at that table put down their glasses unanimously after hearing his words. Only then did Johnny realize that the people at that table were dressed like Pirates, and the vicious looks of the people at the nearby tables, I am afraid that pirates are more likely to be there.

"Bounty hunter?" A man at the table let out a grin, and reached for the saber at his waist.

His fellow pirates at the same table also laughed strangely, and looked at Johnny and Joseph with ill intentions, and someone sneered: "You stray dogs who eat leftovers from the navy, what are you doing here? "

Johnny's face changed slightly, and he also reached out to touch the handle of his saber. Joseph, reminded by Johnny, also stood up from his seat.

When the sword was on the verge of breaking out, surrounded by a group of pirates, a strong man wearing a three-cornered hat suddenly slammed his wine glass on the table, and after making a noise to attract the attention of the people around him, he said, "Enough!"

"Are you also here to participate in the defense of the East China Sea?" The man who looked like a pirate captain asked the nervous Johnny and Joseph.

Johnny nodded.

"Everyone is from the East China Sea. If there are any grievances or disputes, let's wait until this incident is over." The pirate captain was quite magnanimous. Put it all away!"

Johnny and Joseph looked at each other, and put the half-drawn knife back into the scabbard.

"If you don't mind, you can come and sit together and have a glass of wine," the pirate captain said again, "We are also here to participate in the defense of the East China Sea."

Seeing Johnny and Joseph showing hesitation, the pirate captain smiled, appearing a little contemptuous: "If you are afraid, then forget it."

"Who's scared?" Joseph snorted, strode through a line of vicious pirates, and sat down in front of the pirate captain.

Seeing this, Johnny couldn't leave his good friend behind, so he followed.

"Pirates also think about defending the East China Sea?" Joseph asked not to be outdone after sitting down.

The pirate captain was not angry with Joseph's tone, but poured a glass of wine for each of them: "I am a pirate and I am also from the East China Sea. This is not a conflict. This is where I grew up and where I live. , someone wants to destroy it, why can't I fight?"

"So you've become heroes?" Joseph pouted.

"I don't think we are heroes, but when we arrived in the Kingdom of Navia, it was revealed that we were mobilized by Morgan William's campaign in the newspaper, and we were indeed treated like heroes. We did not loot any people along the way. place, but the supplies on board have never been lacking. The local residents thanked us sincerely and warmly, and prayed for our safety when they left." Only once did I realize that being a hero feels pretty good. At first I was a little hesitant, and my subordinates still objected. will participate."

Johnny and Joseph looked a little surprised: "The world has changed, and pirates are so great?"

"That's not true," the pirate captain smiled bitterly, "There are also pirates who take advantage of the fire to rob, and even fish in troubled waters, passing by here, but..."

A young man pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in.

The pirate captain looked at the man and said, "But they were all wiped out by the young Sheriff Hughes Holt."
