Codex Pirates

Chapter 101: A Victim of the Era (Part 1)

After tying up the long-faced pirate, Hutcherson scanned the room, pulled down the curtain, put it on the girl, and then took out a dagger to cut the rope for her.

After the girl was untied from the rope, she didn't show any expression of gratitude. Instead, she held the curtain vigilantly and distanced herself from Hutcherson, staring at Hutcherson closely with guarded and fearful eyes, but then she Thinking of something, I immediately got out of bed and searched the house.

The girl quickly found the man's body on the ground, and she knelt down on the ground trembling, ignoring the blood stains, hugging her father's already cold body in her arms and weeping bitterly.

"Let's get out of here first." When Aramis returned to the house, he saw this scene and felt uncomfortable, so he kicked the long-faced pirate who was tied and thrown on the ground, and said to Hutcherson: "Take this guy Take it to the captain for disposal."

On the other side, William and his ship easily dealt with Guy and other pirates, and they had already moored at the pier. After Selkirk disembarked, and led his men to the depths of the town for reinforcements, he happened to see the two of them escorting the long-faced pirates. The thief walked out of the street.

Seeing this, Selkirk's expression changed, and the long-faced pirate also looked happy when he saw him, and shouted, "Captain..."

"Shut up!" Selkirk interrupted viciously, "How many times have I told you that there is only one captain on board, call me the second mate!"

He looked at Aramis and Hutcherson again: "What did he do?"

Aramis squinted at Selkirk and said nothing, but Hutcherson said, "He disobeyed the captain's orders."

Selkirk exhaled fiercely, and asked again: "Santer is also with you, right? What about others?"

Sante is the short and stout pirate, and Aramis said directly after hearing the words: "I killed that guy for insulting the captain."

Selkirk suddenly turned his head and looked at Aramis, who looked at him without fear.

After a while, Selkirk gritted his teeth and said: "Good job, if he insults the captain in front of me, I will shoot him too."

After Selkirk finished speaking, he turned his head and left with an ugly face. The long-faced pirate called him twice, but he didn't agree.

...

The pirates of the Morgan Pirates, after clearing out the remaining enemies on the shore, gradually separated from the town and gathered at the shore pier to count the wounded and losses.

In addition, within such a short period of time after entering the town, there were several incidents that violated the iron rules set by William. He was sure that if a group of pirates were allowed to stay in the town for a long time, the chances of making mistakes would increase.

The residents who were rescued in the town were also at a loss when faced with this phenomenon. The members of the Morgan Pirates were pirates, which could be seen at a glance, but after they defeated the enemy, they left in an orderly manner. It was the first time they had seen pirates who robbed property and did not oppress civilians.

Dawell, the mayor of Black Lagoon Town, felt uneasy about this. Other townspeople could act like ostriches, and the Morgan Pirates left as soon as they left. Long can't do that.

Darwell asked people to organize the townspeople again, and prepared to run outside the town to hide again, but he actually knew that this method was not very useful. The Morgan Pirates captured many enemies, and the hiding place outside the town Can't hide it for long.

So despite being afraid, Darwell still mustered up the courage to go to the pier, preparing to have a talk with the captain of the pirate group who was different from the pirates he usually met, or to be more precise, to let go of his dignity for The safety of the town residents begged for mercy.

Some courageous townspeople wanted to accompany Darwell, the gray-haired old man, but he refused. After all, the other party was a vicious pirate, and the future of this trip was uncertain. He didn't want others to accompany his old bone. die.

But when Darwell came to the dock area on the shore, he happened to see William disposing of the crew members who violated his orders.

Together with the long-faced pirate, a total of four crew members were bound by ropes and knelt on the open space of the pier. William walked up to the long-faced pirate who was first in line, and Crowe followed behind him, holding a stack of wine in his hand. Bowl and jug of spirits.

William squatted down slowly, then half-kneeled in front of the long-faced pirate, took the spirits and wine bowl from Crowe, filled the wine bowl, solemnly brought it to the long-faced pirate's mouth with both hands, and fed him drink it.

The long-faced pirate drank too fast, coughed twice, and then said with red eyes: "Captain, I disobeyed your order, I admit it, but I don't understand, we are pirates, why should we restrain ourselves like this? I don't agree! "

William picked up the wine jar again, and said softly: "You never thought about how you would feel if one day your brothers, sisters, family members and relatives suffered such a thing?"

"I'm an orphan with no family." The long-faced pirate said bluntly.

"Then have you ever thought about why you became an orphan?"

William filled the wine bowl that the long-faced man had just used, saluted him, then raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

Snapped! William threw the empty wine bowl to the ground.

With this crisp sound, the long-faced man's psychological defense suddenly burst, and he became sobbing. Perhaps it was because of his conscience when he was dying, and of course it was most likely because of fear, but William would rather believe that the other party had a conscience.

William patted the long-faced man on the shoulder, then got up, pulled out the knife from his waist, held the tip of the knife high, and said loudly, "Brother, go all the way!"

The moment he finished speaking, the knife flashed, and the long-faced man's head was cut off, and he rolled on the ground a few times and stopped moving.

William handed the knife that kept dripping blood to Crowe behind him, and he carried the wine jar and bowl to the next kneeling pirate.

There was no sound on the pier, and a group of pirates from the Morgan Pirates silently watched William enforce the family law. What William did was a typical law enforcement method of the family clan and the Caomang clan, with a strong human touch. It took a lot of thought, and it was a last resort. After all, there were a group of pirates on board, and his discipline was no more than ten. In the eyes of a modern traveler like him, he couldn't be looser, but for pirates in this world , but almost harsh to unreasonable.

There was a lot of pressure on the ship, and William also felt that he needed to comfort the pirates. They couldn’t just cut them off, as that would only make the crew feel alienated. Just like Barbarossa, the people underneath had their own thoughts and were eventually killed.

Selkirk was also among the crowd. He clenched his teeth, but he didn't move, just watched quietly.

In the distance, Dawell, the mayor of Black Reef Town, looked at William in the same way. He watched William drink a bowl of wine with every kneeling pirate, talk a few words, and then chopped off their heads.

Dawell's mood is not as complicated as Selkirk's. He only feels scared and wants to run away, but there are two pirates staring at him beside him, and he himself is not very courageous. After experiencing so many things this day, now Seeing such an exciting scene again, my legs were so frightened that I couldn't run at all.
