Codex Pirates

Chapter 10 Treasure

William, Ajin and others docked the small wooden boat together, and then dragged Gore's body and the groaning Denton to the shore together.

On the two small wooden boats, although Akin and William faced Denton and Balmond, they were not injured. On the contrary, Aramis and Wallon, who had more attacks and fewer, because of their poor skills, As a result, Aramis was stabbed in the chest by Gore desperately.

William checked and found that the injury was not too serious, so he gave him a rough bandage, and then let him rest beside him.

In my memory, "One Piece" is a typical fantasy-themed hot-blooded anime, that is to say, the characters in it are basically powerful beings who could earn a living in the world in William's previous life. The thrilling fight just now that made William, who was only a white-collar worker in his previous life, may be just a mere fish in the original book, which made him a little bit more determined to find a place to learn something.

"Will my wound get infected and die!" Aramis's wailing interrupted William's thinking: "This place doesn't shit..."

"Shut up!" Ajin glared at him angrily: "Usually I ask you and Wallon to learn something about self-defense from me and William, so you know how to be lazy. You two dealt with Gore alone, and you were injured."

Wallon on the side touched his bald head, and said in a low voice with aggrieved face: "I haven't been lazy, have I?"

"Yes, Wallon is too stupid! I can't teach you how to teach." Aramis didn't care about Ajin's attitude, and bared his teeth, and the two small canine teeth were very conspicuous: "Besides, of course a smart person knows how to do things. Lazy!"

"You're pretty smart..."

"Don't talk about it now." Ajin frowned and wanted to say a few more words, but William waved his hand to stop him. After groping around Gore's body, he took out a diary and threw it among the four of them. Apart from himself, Aramis is the only one who can be regarded as a cultural person: "Check to see if there is any information about routes and islands."

"I don't think it's very likely." Aramis said out of habit, then honestly flipped through the diary.

The wealth looted by pirates is often difficult to transfer to legitimate channels for storage, not to mention that pirates who violate the law and discipline on weekdays will not rest assured to put their money from crimes in the bank, so the popular practice among pirates is often to find A deserted island deviated from the main waterway, where no one visits, hides property in a hidden place, and some lucky people who emerge from the sea from time to time pick up the treasure map. The captain or navigator and other key personnel on the ship recorded the result of the information about the treasure being spread out.

The pirates regard the deserted island as an oversized safe, and the information recording the location and channel of the deserted island is equivalent to the password and key of the safe.

Although the Denton Pirates are only third-rate pirates even in the East China Sea where the pirate power is the most declining, the wealth accumulated over the years should be quite a lot. Of course William wants to take it away. He is sure that Denton will not take it away. This thing is left to the pirates who are almost mortal, and then let this thing fall into the hands of the navy who chased them wildly, and they must carry it with them, waiting to use this wealth to make a comeback.

William came to Denton's side. The latter could no longer see anything and could only distinguish the movement around him with his ears. After sensing someone approaching him, he hissed, "William? Is it you?"

"Captain." William squatted down, and looked at the former pirate leader lying on the cold ground with a complicated look. Denton was pitiful, but William had also seen his cruelty these days. Cruelty is not limited to ordinary people, even the pirates on board, but it seems too arbitrary to say that he deserves it all.

As Denton said, he was just an ordinary fisherman, but when a person is cornered by society, the only remaining, seemingly simple, path is crime.

In the era of great pirates after the death of Roger the Pirate, everyone, regardless of personalities or not, set sail one after another. The sudden increase in the number of pirates forced the navy to shrink its military power in all seas and put more power into the great voyage This pirate hardest hit area.

This also gives space for those pirates who are not in the mainstream and dare not enter the great route. They are like locusts, looting one place after another, creating groups of poor people who have nothing. There may be some people who have always firmly believed, I joined the navy to fight against pirates as I wished, but I don't know how many people will choose to take risks under the pressure of survival and become a group of people I once hated.

When William thought of this, it was not because he felt sorry for Denton, nor because he suddenly developed feelings for this new world he had just met, but because the reason why the original owner of the body was occupied by him could be said to be such a big reason. The environment is directly or indirectly caused, and no feeling is impossible.

Denton didn't know what William was thinking, but the other party's sudden silence made him panic: "William, I am already like this, and you don't have to be afraid that I will retaliate against you in the future. You let me go and spare me a life."

"However you say, you are also a character. When you were tortured by others, you could grit your teeth and endure without begging for mercy. Why do you do this now?"

The majestic pirate captain who used to be on the ship was no more dignified than the civilians killed by him when facing death. He continued to mourn: "My eyes were taken out by doctors when I was sick when I was young. I made up those rumors. Yes, and then asked people to spread it out, just to make up and scare people. I am just a wild dog now, and the dog's paw was broken by you. Just let me go and let me go home. I still have family, and a child!"

William took a look at Denton's injuries, and then turned his head to look at the desolate surroundings. Aramis's description of the place as nothing shit is really very appropriate.

"I don't want to lie to you," William said, looking down at the man in front of him who gave up even the last ounce of dignity, which made people feel unbearable and unconsciously pitiful, "you won't be able to survive on this island no matter what. Going down, all I can do is to give you a good time, as long as you tell me to remember the charts and notes of the treasure location, have you hidden it, and where it is hidden."

Aramis had heard that William was asking about the treasure map, so he walked over slowly. He also stared at Denton and waited for his response. During the period, when he heard William's truth, he dismissed it with disapproval. She pouted, but William saw it.

After hearing William say that he had no hope of survival, Denton couldn't help but fell silent and didn't respond.

William raised his head and smiled at Aramis, then picked up a stone from the ground and fiddled with the wound on Denton's arm as if casually, and then gradually increased his strength, relying on the rough stone to expand the periphery of the wound.

Denton's body trembled violently following William's movements, and then he screamed in a low voice. Aramis looked down at the knife wound on his chest uncomfortably, and turned his head away.
