Codex Pirates

Chapter 376 Stockholm Syndrome

After solving the problem of Laura Louise, William left. He did not return to the Starlight, but started to investigate the coating industry of the Chambord Islands with Dampier. When the Starlight was coated, William and the craftsmen During the chat, I had some understanding of the industry, but because I had a mission at the time and I was worried about attracting the attention of the Navy, I couldn’t investigate in depth. Get information on the front line.

On the other hand, these days, the group of captives staying on the Starlight have been completely confused about the situation. Suddenly, William and his group, who seemed to be guarding loosely, disappeared.

Originally on the ship, although William fully relied on his personality charm and skills during this period, he differentiated some sailors who had lost hope because they were captured by the shadow as his eyeliner, and even provoked Hogubak, Perona and other Moria's old troops. , spy on each other with the civilians on the Starlight, and report him.

But even so, William will ensure that when he, Akin, and Selkirk go out to do errands, one or two people will be left to guard the people on board.

But now, not to mention that William and his group often stayed to guard the ship, they even changed their appearance as if they were not afraid of being discovered by people from the navy and the world government.

Kaslana had to admit that after cleaning up his clothes and face, William was still very handsome, but unfortunately he was just a pirate hunted by the government and the navy.

She tried to persuade Portia to escape with the others, but no one dared to escape with her even when William, Arkin and Selkirk were not on board.

Most of the people on board had already seen the terrifying strength of the three of William on the terrifying three-masted sailing ship, especially during this period of time, during the journeys to the Chambord Islands and the New World, it is not that there were no pirates who attacked this merchant ship Ideas, but without exception, were easily resolved by William and Ah Jin, who didn't even have the ability to hurt the Starlight.

Natural devil fruits are well known for their wide range of lethality and great momentum. Once William's steam fruit is launched on a large scale, the steam covering the sky will cover the sky, and a large area of ​​the sea will be completely plunged into darkness. It's like the sky is falling.

And although Ah Jin's Kilo Fruit is not as powerful as William's ability, the bloody degree of killing is not inferior at all. When some sailors saw the corpse of a pirate who was beaten into meat paste by Ah Jin for the first time, they were frightened and kept doing it. Several nights of nightmares.

A group of ordinary people who were originally merchant sailors had seen this power, and their fear of William and Akin had penetrated into their bones. In front of such a strong man, they didn't even have the confidence to escape, rather than worrying about the punishment they would receive if they escaped and were caught , might as well stay on board honestly.

At the very least, William had never abused them, and he even seemed quite kind at ordinary times, much better than some merchants who frequently reprimanded their captains and embezzled their property with excuses.

Moreover, after so many years of living in the sea area of ​​​​the Great Route, it was the first time that they felt that sailing was so safe and easy. Not only did they go to the Chambord Islands, but they even went to the New World. Personal solution.

In addition, sometimes, William will also communicate with the sailors on the ship, just like what William used to do in the East China Sea, and like his habit in the East China Sea, the navy and the government in his mouth are always different. A good man can only condone evil, so he had no choice but to fight against the Golden Lion Shiji himself, and was finally remembered by the government and the navy.

The sailors have experienced the hunting of Moonlight Moria. This experience is actually exactly the same as the experience of confronting Shiji in William’s mouth. It is because of various reasons that the government and the navy knew the existence of the big pirate. However, he let it go, which eventually led to the victimization of the innocent local people. This was the case with the Golden Lion Shiji, and the same with the Shichibukai Moria. It was William who defeated these two truly vicious criminals and saved the Donghai people and the entire ship. .

Because of this, some sailors even began to have the characteristics of Stockholm Syndrome, that is, a hostage complex, emotionally biased towards William, who actually kidnapped them, not only disagreed with Kaslana's plan, but even threatened her to inform William. Only then did Kaslana restrain herself, and only discussed the escape with Portia and a few crew members whom she fully trusted.

Portia told Kaslana that even though William, Arkin and Selkirk are often absent on board, Perona, Hobak and others are still there, and the Chambord Islands are not very safe, and there are crazy slaves everywhere Trafficker, she also felt that running away was not a good choice.

Even so, Kaslana was not discouraged, and turned her mind to Brook, who was almost the most powerful person on the ship except for William. There is a certain guarantee for the pursuit of him, or his subsequent actions on the island.

In the dining room on the ship, Brooke had his legs up on the dining table, piled up a pile of plates at his feet, leaned on the back of the chair, and picked his teeth leisurely with a toothpick, making tsk-tsk sounds from time to time, as if he was drinking and eating A land rich man who let loose after being full.

"I don't want to leave yet. You don't know how many years I haven't lived such a comfortable life. I have enough and delicious food every day. I can drink and chat with other living people, and I can exchange sword skills with others," Brooke spat out some food scraps , regardless of Kaslana's disgusted expression, she patted her stomach, "I feel like I've gained weight during this period, although I actually only have a bunch of bones left."

Kaslana listened to Brook's high-pitched laughter, her eyes anxious: "Don't you like adventure? What kind of adventure are you staying here?"

"Adventures also require rest. I'm on vacation now," Brooke burped. "When I recharge my batteries and find a suitable partner, I can embark on an adventurous journey again."

Kaslana asked viciously, "What if William kills you?"

"Didn't Mr. William say that he would let us go after finishing his business? He will definitely keep his word." Brooke said disapprovingly.

Kaslana said angrily, "You really trust him!"

"I don't understand why, Miss Kaslana, you keep thinking about running away. If Mr. William really wanted to kill us, we would have died in the horrible three-masted sailing ship." Brook still picked his teeth seriously, his appearance It made Kaslana's teeth itch with hatred.
