Codex Pirates

Chapter 368: The Promise

Yossarian Heller was running in the forest in a panic. He had walked this path leading to the private harbor countless times, but the distance between the private harbor and the outpost had never been so far away in his perception. .

The place where he was shot on his right hand and left shoulder was dripping with blood. When he was running, branches and weeds rubbed against the wound, Yossarian Heller couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, but he didn't dare to slow down. The coming rustle meant the navy was still trailing behind.

Yossarian Heller didn't know where to go or what to do in the future. As a young man who had been aiming at the top ranks of the navy, he was suddenly wanted by the navy. His future had lost his goal.

But at the very least, Yossarian Heller knew one thing, he didn't want to be caught, he didn't want to be unjustly charged with a crime that didn't belong to him, and then stay in prison for the rest of his life.

Yossarian Heller was running out of breath, and finally heard the familiar sound of lapping waves, and through the weeds, he could faintly see the boats moored on the shore undulating along the sea water.

It's just that when he reached the shore, his field of vision suddenly became much wider. Yossarian Heller gritted his teeth, speeded up, and wanted to run desperately to the boat.

Second Lieutenant Duddy chased him all the way to the edge of the woods. He was panting slightly, but he was not tired. Seeing that his field of vision was empty, he raised his loaded rifle.

Although the figure of Yossarian Heller was running wildly while trying to avoid shooting, in Duddy's eyes, he still looked like a large living target. He easily set the crosshairs firmly on Yossarian Behind Sorin Heller, no matter how the other party evaded, the sight still didn't miss the slightest bit.

It's just that Duddy didn't shoot for a long time. It wasn't until Yossarian Heller came to the side of the boat, jumped up, and rushed to the deck of the ship. His body paused in mid-air, and Duddy suddenly shot. It was just before the shooting. In an instant, he suddenly raised the muzzle of the gun, and the shot shot into the sky.

Yossarian Heller threw himself on the deck of the ship and rolled twice, the blood from the wound dragged two glaring bloodstains on the deck.

When the gunshot rang out, Yossarian Heller was shaken all over. He stood up staggeringly with his waist down, and found that he hadn't been shot again. Panting with excitement, he hurriedly ran to start the boat.

The wound on his body burst again when he lifted the cable anchor, and the blood flowed down the palm of his hand into the rope, but the moment the ship started, Yossarian Heller, who was dressed in a clean white military uniform, was still blood-stained. He couldn't help laughing loudly, full of the joy of escaping from death, but he smiled, looked at the standing figure on the shore, looked at the white military uniform whose outline could still be seen clearly even though the man was far away, and wailed again. burst into tears.

Duddy on the shore put up an awning and watched the boat drift away. Even at this distance, he was actually sure of killing Yossarian Heller, but he didn't shoot.

Duddy sighed and muttered to himself: "The pirates became the guests of the government, and the navy became the wanted criminals. What kind of world is this?"

When the other three sailors, who were not in a hurry because they trusted Dadi's marksmanship, also came to the shore, only Dadi was standing there alone.

"Lieutenant Duddy..." The three navy soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay. With Lieutenant Duddy's usual marksmanship, the three of them couldn't have imagined that they would still be run away by Yossarian Heller after such a long distance.

"I missed the shot." Dadi gently tossed the gun back to the navy soldier, and said lightly.

...

Time moves forward slightly.

When Dampier was still fighting with the Five Old Stars, before the world government was preparing for the publication of the Civilization Newspaper resolution and began to consider solving hidden dangers that might cause disputes and doubts, William had already arrived in the New World.

After arriving in this strange sea, what William first looked for was not the most famous "White Beard" Edward, nor the "BIGMOM" Charlotte Lingling who had taken the initiative to invite him to be his son-in-law, but his "acquaintance", " Redhead," Shanks.

In the new world ruled by the Four Emperors, it is both difficult and easy to meet these great figures. Their names are like magnets, firmly attracting people's attention. Many people here know their names and traces, even the base camp However, it is difficult to meet them because strangers often need to cross layers of obstacles before meeting them.

In fact, William is not sure whether he and Shanks are acquaintances, but the two have met once in the East China Sea, and they both left a good impression on each other.

William's understanding of the new world is very limited. In this dangerous and unfamiliar sea area, he has no sources of information, so it is not easy to wander around.

He couldn't go to the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates alone and tell the other party, I want to be Whitebeard's son, right?

William needs to find someone to learn about this place, and even help out as a guide.

In order to prevent the red-haired Shanks from forgetting the encounter in the East China Sea that year, William also specially prepared a gift for this trip, which is the body of the famous swordsman from the Wano country, the samurai Ryoma.

Wano country is in the new world ruled by the four emperors, and it is not a member country of the world government. It must be able to maintain a certain degree of independence, and this samurai, according to Hobak and Perona, is very important to this samurai. The country means a lot.

In the form of the Four Emperors enclosing land in the New World and dividing the territory, this corpse should be somewhat useful to the red-haired Shanks.

It's just that William didn't expect that after he gave his name, he was easily taken to a tropical island. In the messy tent camp in the jungle, he saw Shanks who was already the fourth emperor.

Maybe it's because of the countless trials and tribulations I've experienced since traveling again in the East China Sea, and maybe it's because I've been the Four Emperors for a long time, and I've lived and raised my body. At the beginning, I was inconspicuous, and my appearance and temperament were like that of an ordinary fisherman. Shanks, now just sitting on a wooden box, is like a crouching tiger with its claws curled up lazily.

But when he saw William, Shanks' bearded, weather-beaten face showed a simple and hearty smile like a boy who hadn't experienced much in the world, William easily found out from it that when the two met in Hongye Village, The shadow of Shanks that makes people unconsciously close and hard to be disgusted with.

"William, you finally came to the New World!" Shanks laughed and stood up, his attitude was even more enthusiastic than William who actually asked him, "I said I would buy you a drink when I was in the East China Sea. Years have passed before you came to me!"
