Codex Pirates

Chapter 253 Paper Tiger

Crowe's ideals and character can be regarded as a 100% heterogeneous in the original book, a hot-blooded comic.

In the original book, the protagonist, Straw Hats, and his party confronted the enemy's group of bosses in the East China Sea. No matter how powerful they were in the later stage, at least at the time, although they were cruel or sinister, they all had their own grand ambitions.

The clown Bucky intends to search for all the treasures in the world, and he is indomitable; even if Crick is unlucky and encounters Hawkeye, leading to the destruction of the whole group, he still perseveres in wanting to go to the great route again and become the king of the sea; the Dragon Pirates Intent to build an empire, and painstakingly surveying and mapping the sea...

Only Ke Luo, the big pirate from the East China Sea that the Straw Hats met, aimed to become a rich man in a remote small village, and he did not hesitate to hide and endure for many years, even though he was already one of the biggest pirates in the East China Sea at that time. Gao Qiang even developed a move similar to that of Liushi Zhongsha by himself, and his talent is amazing.

People with this kind of character naturally cannot agree with Golden Lion Shiji, more precisely, they don't agree with his typical pirate behavior style of looking for trouble, flamboyant and reckless.

In addition, Golden Lion Shiji's domineering character is not liked by Crowe. Except for a few talents who are extremely useful and indispensable, Golden Lion Shiji does not treat his subordinates as real "companions" at all. , Cruel and easy to kill, in the past few days, Crowe has seen several people who work for the Golden Lion Shiji, because they made some small mistakes, and even just accidentally offended the Golden Lion Shiji, they were killed by Shiji casually die.

William's personality is actually quite domineering, but he is good at disguising, always appears approachable, and always shows enough respect to talents, let them live a decent life, and have enough dignity in front of other subordinates .

Comparing the two, Crowe, who likes a stable and decent life, naturally prefers to work under William.

Of course, if he has enough strength—as the Golden Lion Shiji said, enough to rule the world, then no matter how unwilling Crowe is, his reason will tell him that he must abandon the doomed William.

But now Crowe does not think that Golden Lion Shiji can accomplish anything at all. Golden Lion Shiji is already seventy years old, which is enough to be called an old man. Among the people that Golden Lion Shiji has contacted, Crowe has not seen Someone who is qualified enough to serve as the second in command of Shiji's forces, and who is enough to take over his business after Shiji's accident.

Dr. Indigo is obviously not good. Although he is an indispensable scientific research talent, he does not have enough strength and prestige.

It is conceivable that even if Golden Lion Shiji develops the perfect medicine refined by IQ in a few years and can dominate one side, his power will disappear in a short time, because Golden Lion Shiji is already too old.

What's more, Shi Ji, who is already in his seventies, may be able to stir up waves in this world, but to say that he wants to rule the world is like a dream, and Crowe doesn't like him at all.

Crowe even discovered during this period that the golden lion Shiji had some problems with his brain and eyesight. He confused things more than once, seeing the orangutan as his relatives, and the dark clouds in the distance as an afro.

funny? Perhaps to the onlookers, this kind of performance is very funny, but for Crowe, who wants to entrust his wealth and life to such a person and "conquer the world" with him, he only feels chills all over his body.

How can a leader whose mind is not clear at the beginning convince someone as smart as Crowe?

The Golden Lion Shiji is indeed a legend. His popularity in the whole world cannot be matched by William's flattery. But based on Crowe's current observation, in fact, William's development potential is much stronger than that of the Golden Lion Shiji.

In the past few days, Crowe has observed a lot of useful information around Golden Lion Shiji, but the only thing that bothers him is how to pass on all the information.

Of course, Crow would not tell Crick in front of him about these things, but Crow didn't expect that when he was about to send Crick away, Crick would take the initiative to bring up similar topics.

"Have you thought about what we should do next?" Creek asked in a low voice.

Crowe raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly, "What should I do?"

Crick stared closely at Crowe's eyes, showing a disapproving expression: "Don't pretend to be stupid, Crowe, your 'hundreds of tricks' ingenuity is well-known in the Kingdom of Navia, and even the entire East China Sea, don't tell me You can't see that everything that bald old man said is nothing but the ramblings of a madman, but this old madman is too powerful and cruel, and we dare not refute it in person."

In the original book, Crick is a man who can maintain his pride even though the fleet is destroyed by Hawkeye's tyrannical strength. He is sinister but also rebellious. Crick was convinced.

"I just don't want to die for no reason like the others, but if you want me to submit to this old lunatic with integrity," Crick affirmed disdainfully, "it's impossible!"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll go to the Golden Lion to inform you?" Crowe pushed his glasses and said lightly, "I've told him a lot of information."

"If you don't do it, I will do it too," Crick chuckled, "If you want to leave here safe and sound, finding a way to gain his trust is the best way."

"I believe you think the same as I do, and you want to leave here, but what I don't understand is why you lured the golden lion Shiji to the East China Sea." Crick asked.

Crowe didn't say anything, but asked tentatively: "Look at you, I've been thinking about how to get out of here recently? Is there any way?"

Crick took a deep look at the cautious Crowe, and after thinking for a while, he carefully looked at the situation outside through the window, and found that no one was eavesdropping, and then whispered: "Our steamboat..., You have been with Golden Lion Shiji for the past few days, but the rest of us are basically cooperating with the scientific researchers here to study steamships and inform relevant information, but the progress is too slow, because there are not many qualified shipbuilders here. division, and the original shipbuilder on our ship was also killed by the golden lion."

The international student shipbuilders selected by William at the beginning were all young people with ideals and passions. These voluntary applicants and their willingness to go from the stable and peaceful East China Sea to the chaotic and dangerous great route are enough to prove their courage.

Therefore, at that time, as Harden fought against the main force of the Golden Lion Shiji, some of the weak players were also beheaded by the Golden Lion Shiji when they expressed their opposition.

As a result, there was no way for Golden Lion Skeleton to take the captured new-style steamship, but since they had already set off for the East China Sea, the place where the steamship was created, this steamship was not taken seriously by Skee up.

"Do you remember the hot air balloon on our ship? There are several matching parachute bags inside," Crick's eyes widened. "No one here has seen it, and they don't know what it does. I took advantage of them not paying attention. Hid the parachute packs when the time came."

The parachute is nothing new to the traverser William, and it is not difficult to invent itself. As early as the manned hot air balloon appeared, William had someone research it to ensure the safety of the people who took off.

Crowe's eyes lit up, seeing Crick's expression that didn't seem to be fake, he suddenly smiled and asked: "Crick, you're right, Golden Lion Shiji, it's just nonsense, I've been following him these days By my side, I know more about him, he is old, even if he was once very powerful, time is 10,000 times stronger than him, he is destined to be abandoned by the tide of the times, to use a word William once used to describe Well, he is just a paper tiger, the crux of the problem now is who is the one who will expose his current essence."

Crowe and Crick looked at each other: "Crick, do you want to enter the core decision-making circle under William?"
