Codex Pirates

Chapter 47 A place

From Ward's mouth, he had already found out the town where the Redbeard Pirates often rested. After preparing for a while, William came to live in the tavern of the town alone.

His attire is different from the past, his hair has grown a lot longer, he has grown a beard, and he has changed his habit of tidying up his clothes. Now his clothes look a lot messy, and his collar and cuffs are stained with alcohol. There are stains, there is a small hole in the hem of the clothes from a cigarette butt, and even the knife on the waist has been replaced with a machete that is common among pirates.

And I don't know if it's because of the [Strongness] specialty or other reasons, he has grown taller recently, and he has already risen to 1.9 meters. If he only scans roughly, it is difficult to connect with his previous image.

The taverns in this world are often also used as hotels, including all kinds of religions. No matter whether the residents or the drinkers are mixed, they are full of sailors and businessmen traveling from all over the world. They are often the most well-informed places in the local area. When William first arrived, the red-bearded sea The band of thieves hadn't come yet, but he already knew from the drinker that the information Ward provided was true, so he patiently waited here for nearly half a month.

Until one morning, when William woke up in the room, he knew that the Redbeard Pirates might have come to the town to rest.

The sound insulation facilities of the small town tavern are poor, and most of the consumers who come here are for the purpose of getting drunk, so they are noisy all day long. Whether it is late at night or early in the morning, the noise always surrounds the inside and outside of the tavern, but today it has changed.

After William tidied up briefly, walked out of the room, and walked up the stairs to the first floor, he found that the situation was indeed as he expected. Near the bar, a group of tough men were drinking wine.

A man with a height of nearly two meters and solid muscles, who stretched a large shirt like a tights, was sitting alone at the bar. The wooden high chair was like a small stool under his bear-like figure. .

This man's face was full of flesh, with a thin red beard like steel needles around his face.

The bartender carefully mixed a glass of wine for the man who was obviously the leader. The way this rough-looking man drank was unexpectedly inconsistent with his appearance and temperament. The wine glass, which seemed too delicate, did not drink it up in one gulp, but tasted it slowly.

None of the other customers in the tavern dared to show any dissatisfaction with the man occupying the entire bar alone. In the past, the drunkards who were used to yelling and yelling, all shrank in their corners obediently, away from the bar, and could not even speak. Lowering his voice, the tavern was no longer noisy as before, which was why William was sure that the Redbeard Pirates were coming.

William's heart moved, and according to the description provided by Ward, he felt that this person was probably the deputy captain of the Redbeard Pirates, and also the veritable number two in the Pirates, Reis.

Reis is "Redbeard" Barbarossa's right-hand man, and has a meticulous mind that does not match his appearance. He is usually responsible for helping Barbarossa manage the affairs of the ship, and he is Barbarossa's big housekeeper.

Reis brought five confidantes. These people are old pirates on the ship with rich experience. They occupy the two wine tables near the bar. They look very relaxed, but the location is quite tricky. Observed by more than one companion.

Looking from the direction of the gate, the wine tables where the old pirates were sitting were just blocked by the pillars of the tavern, which made these people able to observe the people who entered the tavern through the gate at the first time if they wanted to, but those who just entered the tavern, If you are not careful, it is difficult to spot them in the first place.

Although these old pirates may be tall or short, fat or thin in appearance, they all have one thing in common, that is, they have a fierce face, and they all carry weapons on their bodies, either with machetes or hand axes. There are two There is still a pistol pinned to his waist, and there is no intention of covering it up.

The bar owner had a flattering smile on his face, and he ran back and forth like the waiters, obeying the orders of these gangsters.

Pirates are also human beings, and they don't want to live in deserted places. They plunder for money and to live a better life, so they don't just go to any place where there are people, they will definitely choose to turn the place into white land .

It is not the first time that the Redbeard Pirates have come to rest their feet in the town where William is now. The tavern owner knows that although they will inevitably lose money, as long as they don’t cause trouble, they will not offend the terrifying sea in front of them. Vice captain of the gang.

It's just that pirates have always been synonymous with trouble.

The three strong men pushed open the door of the tavern, glanced at the hall, and walked towards the bar.

The owner of the tavern looked bitter, but he didn't dare to stop him, because this group of people also looked fierce, with machetes in their waists.

"You are the vice-captain of the Redbeard Pirates, Reis?" The three strong men walked to the bar, and an old pirate was still sitting on a chair, but he stretched his legs lazily to block their way, looking like the leader Seeing this, one person asked.

Leisi turned his head, looked the three of them up and down, then turned back again, continued to sip the wine in his hand, and said lightly, "What do you want me for?"

"We want to get on board."

"I want to get on the ship and go to the dock to find our crew, what do you want me to do?"

The leading strong man gritted his teeth: "The people on the pier said that there is no shortage of manpower on the ship, so...."

"So you came to find me, the vice-captain?" Reis drank the wine, smashed it, seemed to think it tasted good, so he pushed the glass to the bartender, motioned him to make another glass, and said noncommittal , "As a pirate, everyone wants to survive, everyone wants to get rich, so everyone wants to join a powerful pirate group, but the question is, why should we let you aboard?"

"My companion and I are good players! And we have killed people before!"

Reis sneered when he heard the words: "A good player? Everyone who wants to board our ship will say that. Is it a good player? It's not just talking about it. After a few naval battles, it can survive. In my eyes, it is considered a good player." Master, as for killing, who on my ship has never killed anyone?"

The leading burly man showed shame and annoyance, and he heard Reis say: "Don't say I won't give you a chance, now there is one less person on the ship, and there is an vacant seat, do you want to get on the ship? Just decide Who is qualified to take this seat."

William did not know when he had already walked behind the three strong men, just in time to hear these words.

Hearing footsteps, the man in front of him was in a bad mood because he was sneered at by Lacey earlier, so he turned his head and said viciously to him, "Go away!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head indifferently, but just as he turned his head, he felt a pain in his scalp, and William had already grabbed his hair.

William's left hand holding the opponent's hair exerted force backwards. When the opponent was in pain and his center of gravity subconsciously leaned back, he had already kicked on the hollow of the opponent's knee, pushing him half-kneeling on the ground. He tilted his head back, and clenched his free right hand into a fist, protruding his index finger, and punched the opponent's Adam's apple.
