Codex Pirates

Chapter 32 Kuina (Part 1)

On the pier of Hongye Village, a group of weather-stained porters and sailors with rough hands and feet are squatting or sitting around William, listening to him tell the fake version of Outlaws of the Marsh.

This bad embryo changed the names and backgrounds of the characters, and it became the story of the pirate captain and his 108 pirates criss-crossing the sea. The world government "oppresses the good, forcing the good to add fuel to Kou's story and say a little more.

The smuggling business is already on the right track. A group of people produce alcohol and alcoholic beverages in Hongye Village. Sherlock uses the connections of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce to pull the fleet to transport, sometimes even directly affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce, and finally transports them to the local pharmacy for sale. , At the same time relying on money and high-end alcohol that was raised in price by the Prohibition to bribe local officials, these feudal bureaucrats are not afraid of the corruption of alcohol and money, and it is easy for a group of people to establish a trade network in the local area.

When the goods are going back and forth at sea, William, Aramis, Arkin, Wallon, and Edmund follow the cargo ship to escort them in shifts to guard against attacks from pirates and even other competitors.

William was never idle at this time. He was a sociable person, and with his status, he could easily mingle with all kinds of people on the ship and dock, from the captain to the porters and sailors. He doesn't know people, and he also has an account book in his heart for those who can be cultivated.

This process is the process of William cultivating his contacts.

The profits from the smuggling business have allowed William to accumulate a large sum of money, and with the contacts he has accumulated over the year, he can pull up a team at any time, purchase a large ship and go to sea, and if it is not his original intention, he will still learn swordsmanship in the dojo , Continue to accumulate words to improve your own strength.

When it comes to the people on the ship and the dock, William is the favorite of porters and sailors, because he is capable and of high status, but he has no airs. Instead, they often smoked and chatted with them in the cabin.

William was not from a wealthy family in his previous life, so it was easy to get along with this group of low-level workers.

Most of these dock workers and ordinary sailors have no education, their education level is not very high, and there are many illiterates. They like to gather around William and listen to him tell stories, talk about things they have never heard, and gain insights.

On the one hand, it was because of novelty, and on the other hand, there was also some cunning, hoping to impress William, the boss.

After William finished telling the adapted story of Lin Chong's night run, the audience commented one after another.

A sailor said with a displeased face: "That navy named Wood is too useless, and his wife can't even protect him. If it wasn't for a coincidence to hear the secret conversation, he might still be dreaming of starting all over again!"

The companion next to him retorted: "Stop making sarcastic remarks. He is a Tianlong person. If he stands in front of you, you will kneel on the ground in fear."

The person before argued: "I'm just an ordinary person. I'm a vice admiral in the navy. He's also the chief instructor of the headquarters. He must be very powerful. If I want to be as powerful as him, I will first punch that **** Tianlong person to death, and then kill him." Get out of the Navy Headquarters and be a big pirate who wants to be kind and hateful!"

Others dismissed his obscenity: "Tch, that's very powerful."

Another sailor pondered and discussed: "You say that the Celestial Dragons are so powerful, so what will happen if the naval hero Garp accidentally offends the Celestial Dragons? Will he end up like Wood?"

A group of people fell into a fierce quarrel again, but William didn't join in, because he had already seen the figures of Ah Jin and others appearing from the end of the pier.

"Why are you late?" William stood up from the cargo box and asked Ah Jin loudly.

The cargo on the ship has been moved, if it is not waiting for the people who press the ship, it will not be anchored for so long, and William will not have time to sit and tell stories with a group of people at the pier.

Just as Ah Jin and the others approached, William knew why they were late. A little girl with neat short black hair was being carried on Wallon's back.

The little girl was only about ten years old, and she was a little thin and thin, holding a knife that was too long for her. When she saw William, she raised her head that was originally buried in Wallon's back, and screamed aggressively. Said: "William!"

"Guina, why are you here?" William smiled gently at first, but when his eyes fell on the knife in the girl's hand, his brows frowned involuntarily, and his tone became a little harsh, "You Why did you bring out the 'He Dao Yi Wen'!"

Kuina is the daughter of Koshiro, the owner of Yixin Dojo, but Koshiro doesn't take special care of his only child in the dojo on weekdays. Whether it is daily training or guidance, he treats him equally.

Although the Hedaoyi character is Koshiro's item, it stands to reason that it will also be Kuina's item in the future, and she can use it as she pleases, but the distance between Hongye Village and Shimoyue Village is not too short. This kind of precious sword is also in danger of being stolen or snatched away. William knows this, and he also knows the value of He Daoyi's words to swordsmen.

"I'm here to challenge you!" Kuina struggled to jump off Wallon's back, but she cried out in pain as soon as she landed, and sat down on the ground.

Ajin on the side explained: "Guina sprained her ankle on the way here, and I wanted to send her back to the dojo. She made a fuss for a long time, but Wallon's ears were too soft, so I carried her on her back."

Kuina said angrily: "Ah Jin is a villain, and Wallon is not soft-hearted, he is a good person."

Upon hearing this, Wallon scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and wanted to help Kuina up, but Kuina refused.

Kuina insisted on standing up with her sword, and said to William with a tense face, "Today I will challenge you again and defeat you. I am the strongest disciple in the dojo!"

"Nonsense!" William shook his head.

Kuina said unconvinced: "I brought the 'He Dao Yi Wen' today, just to beat you..."

Before she could finish speaking, William had already pulled out the knife and its sheath from his waist, and tapped it on Kuina's "Harmony Word" as a crutch.

Kuina couldn't react in time, and her strength was not as strong as William's. William knocked the "Word of Peace" out of her hand, and she fell heavily on the solid road of the pier.

However, although Kuina is only a little girl about ten years old, she is far stronger than her peers. Her arms and knees were broken, but she didn't care. She just raised her head angrily and said to William: "You sneak attack!"

"In actual combat, do you expect the enemy to listen to you talking so much?" William tilted his head, "And do you know what you are called? Overestimate yourself! You were not my opponent in the first place, but now Injured and incomplete, but still want to challenge me, if I am the real enemy, what is the difference between your behavior and suicide?"
