Codex Pirates

Chapter 106 Rejection

"Get on the boat?" Jesus paused his hand holding the wine glass, thinking of the rumors in the village.

When Banjina heard this, she also put down the spoon in her hand, and looked at William with a complicated expression.

"You should have heard of it, I am the captain of a pirate group," William asked, "Morgan Pirates, I don't know if you have heard of it."

"Are you the captain of the Morgan Pirates?" Jesus Bu was startled.

"I've heard about some of your deeds. Not only do you not plunder civilians, but sometimes you wrap supplies with pirate flags and put them on the pier, and send them to villages and towns that have been looted by other pirates," Jesus put down with a serious face. Wine glass, said with respect, "I admire what you have done."

William has always paid great attention to publicity work. Apart from being unique, the spread of this story is also due to the fact that the business company hosted by Sherlock took the opportunity to promote it on different occasions.

William said: "Since you have heard of us, you should also know that we are different from other pirate groups. Those trash pirate groups that bully the weak and fear the hard will target the weak, while our target is the evil-doing colleagues. They only recruit some trash The crew would be fine, but I'm different..."

Jesus Bu was amused by William's harsh evaluation, but saw that William suddenly pointed at him and said, "I only need good players on board. In addition, the new type of pistol used in this competition was also developed by my company. In the future, various guns will appear. The new type of guns, after you get on my ship, you can get in touch with them immediately."

It is a joy to be valued by others, especially if the other party is the leader of a righteous thief organization like the Morgan Pirates that has recently become famous among the people in the East China Sea. What is it, he grinned, wanting to say something, but saw his wife Banjina and son Usopp looking at him at the same time, the smiles slowly disappeared, and he fell into silence until a moment later he said: "Sorry , I still have a wife and children at home, and it is impossible for me to leave them alone."

"On my ship, the crew's family is also my family. Even if you are willing to leave them alone, as the captain, I will not allow you to do so," William said with a light smile, but he still did not agree with Jesus. Responding, he changed his words, "And as long as I have breath, I won't ignore the crew's family, so if you are afraid of danger..."

"I'm not afraid of danger!" Jesus Bu said decisively.

William is the owner of the Four Seas Trading Company and the leader of the well-known pirate group in the East China Sea, but he has always been very polite and humble since he entered Jesus Bu's house. Although Jesus Bu is informal and proud of his shooting talent, he also understands, He is just an ordinary farmer now, and his status is not far from William's, not far away.

William treated him with such courtesy and respect, and Jesus did not want to be considered a coward by William.

It's just that the words are unfounded, so Edmond naturally didn't believe it, so he let out a disdainful laugh.

"I said something wrong," William glanced at Bancina and Usopp, patted Edmund on the shoulder, and said to Jesus with a smile, "You are not afraid of danger, but you have more important things." Things have to be guarded, I understand, so let's not talk about that."

After that, William really stopped talking about inviting Jesus Bu on the boat. Although Dampier tried to invite Jesus Bu to work in his weapons company "on his own initiative", he was only involved in weapon data collection instead of being a pirate. The topic was diverted by William.

Although the dishes are not sumptuous, and the drinks are only low-quality wines privately brewed in the country, the guests and hosts still enjoy themselves at the banquet. William vividly tells the young Usopp what he has seen and heard at sea, the strange environment in the windless belt, and the novels. The primitive tribes on the island, the slaves of the kingdom on the bridge, and how they saved villages and towns from other raging pirates.

Usopp was so excited when he heard it, he didn't even listen to what Benchina said to coax him to sleep, and pestered William to make a big noise, expressing his desire to join the Morgan Pirates and save the common people in the East China Sea.

"A man with ambition should be like this." William picked Usopp up, put him on his lap, and said with a smile: "When you grow up and become a great man like your father, I will definitely invite you Boat."

"What you say is what you say!" Usopp was young, but he seemed very smart. He even knew that he was worried that William was lying to him, so he asked suspiciously.

"I never joke about inviting people on board, but remember, I'm talking about becoming a great man like your father, so I'll invite you on board," William said meaningfully, and then lifted his neck from his neck. Take the silver necklace given to him by the village head of a village he saved, and put it on Usopp's neck, "When you become a man, come to me with this necklace, and I will let you wear it Boat."

Banjina hesitated to speak, but Jesus Bu said directly: "This necklace seems too expensive, not to mention that Usopp is just a child, you don't have to be so serious."

Usopp glared at Jesus Bu, William chuckled lightly when he saw this, and scratched Usopp's nose: "What's wrong with children, children can also have big ambitions."

In the end, Usopp was dragged to sleep by Benchina. The rest of the men, mainly William and Jesus, chatted for a while, until Edmund couldn't help yawning, and William ignored Jesus. Bu's retention, took Dampier, Sherlock, Edmund and others to leave.

Since the invitation was rejected by Jesus Bu, William has not spoken again. Jesus Bu thought that William would invite him again before leaving, but William really kept his word. The fact that he was invited to board the boat again made Jesus feel both relieved and a little bit disappointed.

However, William knew that Jesus Bu was definitely not a mediocre person. From the yearning on Jesus Bu’s face when he told the story to Usopp, it could be seen that the reason why Jesus Bu didn’t agree to board the boat was nothing more than Family bondage, it can be seen that Jesus Bu and Benqina are very affectionate.

Although the Morgan Pirates are temporarily based in the East China Sea, the time of sailing on the sea is often not fixed, and the voyage of being a pirate is erratic, especially so. The sons were all thrown to the weak Banjina for support.

...

Jesus Bu watched William and others go away, and stood in front of the door for a long time without moving.

He actually wanted to say yes to William.

Eight years ago, Shanks came here especially for his reputation and invited him to board the ship, but he refused because he couldn't harden his heart and leave Banjina alone, who loved him so much. At least he hoped to be with Ben China had a child so that Benchina wouldn't feel alone after he was gone.

But after Usopp was born, he was worried about throwing Usopp to Banjina, and it would be too cruel for Banjina to support the family alone.

The family, tied Jesus cloth firmly in such a remote village that even pirates don't bother to patronize, the bondage is so tight that Jesus cloth can hardly breathe, sometimes he really wants to abandon everything, just like this He left without thinking about whether the young Usopp could successfully become a man without his father's teaching, and did not think about how hard it would be for Benchina to manage the housework alone.

Finally, Jesus Bu let out a long sigh, and turned back to the house with some disappointment. As a result, he saw Benqina standing in the living room, holding a cup of hot tea for sobering up, and looking at him gently.
