Arceus's Pirate Journey
Chapter 38: The Pirate's Civil Unrest
Moreover, in the battle between pirates, neither side will waste this kind of resources. There are such middlemen in the black market in some places. They are responsible for sending the defeated pirates to the navy and getting a commission from the bounty. This
It's almost an unspoken rule.
Even the big pirates in the New World will behave similarly after capturing or killing pirates who are causing trouble in their own territory. This is even an important source of income for some pirates.
"No, it seems we still have to deal with John, but are there more people here? I think many of them are locals. And why do these people park their boats in the open space?"
There are many large ships in the open space outside, just stranded in the open space. It seems that they have not experienced sailing for a long time.
Moreover, the ship is still fixed to the ground with very thick and long iron chains, and it seems that it cannot move too far.
“This is the unique high ebb tide in the Natho Kingdom. When the inland lake in the middle dries up, the surrounding sea level will rise instead, submerging all the low-lying areas until the phenomenon of the great ebb tide ends.
Except for the highlands where the royal family and nobles live, the rest of the area will be like this, so there are those big boats for evacuation. But it is safe here. This hotel can be said to be the dividing line of the flooded area, so it is like this.
Many people come here.”
At this time, Quinn had another job as a tour guide, explaining the unique phenomenon of the Natjo Kingdom. It is precisely because of this special phenomenon that despite the mild climate, the Natjo Kingdom is unable to develop its planting industry for a long time.
.
When a great ebb occurs every three years, it is a devastating blow to the planting industry here.
Time passed slowly, Quinn solved the problem of the boat, and Kaido also found traces of John. His people were stationed near the inland lake, and it seemed that they were also waiting for the big ebb to occur.
As the time reached the night of the third day, sirens sounded in the Natjo Kingdom, citizens began to take their assets to evacuate, and various forces also launched their own actions.
.....
"John, are you sure Rocks' treasure is here?"
At the headquarters of the John Pirates, a short man wearing heavy medieval armor, with a shield hanging on his gauntlet and carrying a bright silver ax in his left hand asked.
The code name is Silver Ax. Even the people on Locks' ship don't know his real name. They only know that he has never taken off his armor.
"Of course, this is a clue found on Hatchinos Island. A great ebb will occur when the moon is full, and then the true appearance of the treasure will naturally be revealed in front of us. It is our treasure."
John's tone was full of confidence, and he had absolute confidence in the treasure hunt. This was also the last treasure hunt in his plan. The treasure left by Rocks was enough for him to start a new life incognito.
It's just that there are too many people, and the treasure belongs to him alone. He doesn't want to share the treasure with these people. If their strength is not needed to find the treasure, he will not join forces with these people.
But John only told half the truth. The treasure was indeed here, but the environment here was also extremely dangerous. As long as he took advantage of it, these guys would be buried here forever.
At the same time, they will also send a signal to the world that the John Pirates have completely disappeared and Captain John has died. Only in this way can he start a new era of life.
As for his crew? What does it have to do with him.
At this time, a unique smile appeared on the corner of Silver Ax's helmet. Coincidentally, he didn't want to share the treasure with John.
His hand had already pressed the button of a phone bug, and as he pressed his own phone bug, a pirate ship also revealed its true appearance outside Donut Island.
Standing on the ramming corner of the bow was a man wearing heavy golden armor and a long beard.
Although the people on Rocks' ship will fight with each other, there are also some who have good personal relationships, such as Big Mom and Kaido, such as Silver Ax and the owner of this ship, the former Rocks Pirates cadre-Wang Zhi.
Trust is a joke on Rocks' ship, so Silver Ax has already contacted Wang Zhi, planning to work with Wang Zhi to get rid of John.
After understanding the sea conditions here, Wang Zhi's ship has been lingering nearby for half a month, intending to rush over directly through the rising sea surface when the high ebb tide occurs.
At the same time, two of John's men were already lying in the dark alley. They were replaced by two members of CP0. In the high-altitude clouds, Kaido in the form of a blue dragon was also ready to go.
The full moon was in the sky, and the great ebb ended as expected. The water in the central lake began to recede, revealing the slippery bottom of the lake below, but the original creatures in the lake did not know where they had gone.
The external seawater begins to spread, and most of the land of the Natjo Kingdom begins to be submerged by the influx of seawater. Large ships on the plains begin to float, and the citizens of the Natjo Kingdom will begin to live on the water for a period of time.
"The shape of the bottom of the lake... looks like a skull."
You can see it more clearly from high altitude. Although when there is lake water, this inland lake is just an irregular circle, but when the lake water recedes, the rocks on the lake shore and the bottom of the lake just form the shape of a skull.
"Maybe that old guy from Rocks has a preference for this shape. The shape on Hatchinos is also the same, so the accuracy is higher."
Then John took out an armband with two semicircular spheres on it. He folded it in half to form a ball and raised it high. The reflected moonlight shone on a rock, and a spherical hole appeared on it.
There is no doubt that this is the switch of the treasure, and at this moment, a gunshot broke the silence here.
One of Silver Ax's men fell down, and the man who fired the gun was a member of the John Pirates disguised as CP0. They didn't want more people to know the specific details of the treasure. They only had two people and wanted to restrict it.
Hundreds of pirates are not realistic.
Not to mention that there are cadres here who offer a reward of over 100 million. It was their plan to start civil strife among the pirates.
Silver Ax and John were already wary of each other. This shot could be said to have detonated the powder keg, and the situation suddenly became tense.
"John, you guys started early enough."
"Tch, do you believe me when I say this is not what I meant?" This really wasn't John's plan. His plan was to make Silver Ax and his crew disappear. How could he do it without even opening the door to the treasure?
And he has never given such an order. There is no doubt that someone is instigating this, and other people have gotten in here.
But Silver Ax didn't know about this kind of thing, and when he saw John taking action, he gave up the idea of waiting for Wang Zhi to be in place before taking action.
"Young boys, do it!"
