One Piece Black Emperor

"Captain, that's not the skull and crossbones flag. Is it really a pirate?"

Gray's pirate ship had already been discovered on the passenger ship. While the captain was busy directing the crew to prepare to meet the enemy, a passenger asked.

The captain was a fat man and was sweating all over with anxiety.

"What else can it be if it's not a pirate? Pirate ships are all fast ships that are different from merchant ships and passenger ships. Except for the navy, if you encounter such a ship at sea, nine times out of ten, it will be a pirate ship! Although this pirate group It may be a newcomer who has just appeared, because I have never seen this flag, but no pirate can underestimate it."

The captain shouted to the crew to prepare muskets and swords, and even in his busy schedule, he explained a few words to the onlookers.

"Then let's speed up and run! Why are we still standing there?"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

The captain was a little helpless, wiping the sweat on his face with a handkerchief, looking at the passengers on the boat and explaining in a low tone:

"That's impossible. If a pirate ship discovers us, we won't be able to run away. The speed of the passenger ship is too slow. Now we can only pray that the pirates on this ship are not strong in combat, or that they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. "

Naturally, some people are dissatisfied with this explanation.

In particular, the few luxuriously dressed guests standing at the front of the crowd are not aristocrats, because the aristocrats have their own private ships and can also hire troops to protect them, and they are all wealthy ordinary people. They were among the highest-ranking people on the ship and lived in first class.

One of the mean-looking women opened her mouth and cursed:

"Are all your ships a bunch of pigs? When you encounter pirates, you can only wait for them to catch up? If something goes wrong with our personal safety, how can you be responsible? How can you be a captain?"

Before this obviously pampered woman could finish her words, she was pulled by the man next to her to stop her.

The man nodded to the awkward-looking captain and said, "I'm sorry, my wife's words were a bit excessive, but I hope you can do your best to resist the pirates. If you can survive this crisis safely, I will be very grateful!"

No matter what, someone finally smoothed things over.

The captain, who had a bronze complexion but was as fat as a pig, responded repeatedly: "Yes, we will definitely try our best, please don't worry."

But he didn't think so in his heart.

What the captain was thinking at this time was just as he explained before. It was good that the crew could resist the pirates' attack. If they really couldn't resist it, they would surrender happily and donate all their belongings in the hope that the pirates could get around them. pass them.

Generally speaking, if you are wise and hand over valuable items, even if the pirates may kill a few people, they will definitely not kill them all.

If you really encounter someone who is murderous, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

These days, making a living at sea has always been a high-risk profession. Most people who work in this profession often complain about the inaction of the Navy and the World Government, even though they know very well that the World Government and the Navy cannot clear the vast seas of the Four Seas and the Grand Route. thief.

Fortunately, pirates can also kill each other, otherwise the situation may be more serious.

Thinking of this, the captain began to direct the passengers:

"Everyone, go back to the cabin and hide for a while. It will be very dangerous when you fight the pirates later!"

Under his persuasion, the people gathered on the deck returned one after another, returned to their rooms and closed the doors, waiting for their fate to be decided.

In the dark night, with the moonlight in the distance, the pirate ship with the black cross-gun flag can be seen clearly with the naked eye.

It is like a ghost, silent, and all movement is obscured by the sound of crashing waves.

In the cabin of the passenger ship, most of the innocent passengers listened uneasily to the outside world, and anxiously prayed that the temporary combat force formed by the crew could repel the pirates.

But there are exceptions.

In a low cabin, a figure no more than 1.3 meters tall sat cross-legged on the floor, with a sheathed sword across her knees. Through the small round window of the cabin, the moonlight from the outside illuminated her face. .

Delicate, fair, and should be childish, the face reveals a heroic spirit that should not be expected at this age. This is a
