Codex Pirates

Chapter 259 Who is the Prey

William turned his head slightly, looked at the fainted subordinates behind him, and then quickly looked at the golden lion Shiji. Although William was sure that Shiji hadn't done anything just now, Shiji's eyes were still bloodshot at this time, and the veins in his temples were also tinged with blood. It was still beating slightly, so the only person in the field who was most likely to cause this situation was Shi Ke.

"This is domineering and domineering," Shiji the Golden Lion regained his cynical smile, and looked at Aramis and Selkirk, who looked confused and tense, with a deeper smile, "It seems that you don't even have domineering I don't know."

"Domineering is the potential power possessed by all human beings. This kind of power is an innate ability. It is the same as 'momentum' and 'deterrence'. It exists like instinct," Golden Lion Shiji said slowly. , "It's just that the vast majority of people are unable to realize this power, and they will not be able to exert it throughout their lives."

"However, just as nature divides animals into prey and hunters, although domineering is the power everyone has, God also divides human beings into two categories. The sign to distinguish these two types of people is the overlord. Domineering and domineering," the golden lion Shiji said here, staring at his bloodshot eyes, his eyes swept over William, Aramis, Selkirk, and a group of unconscious people underground, "This is the world of human society. Among them, the symbols of 'carnivore' and 'top hunter' are powers that cannot be obtained by 'effort' and 'diligence'. Natural herbivores and prey, no matter how hard they work, it is impossible to obtain this ability, just like When a lamb meets a lion, it is life and death, it has no right to resist, and the prey can only tremble and beg for mercy in front of the domineering hunter."

When talking about the prey, the golden lion Shiji's eyes obviously fell on William, Aramis, Selkirk and others.

"So you 'lion' came to hunt in this 'grassland' in the East China Sea?" William asked word by word.

"On the contrary," the golden lion Shiji chuckled, "I'm here to help this weak sea area, train more hunters, and lead them to hunt in a wider world."

The golden lion Shiji glanced at Crick, and Crick reacted quickly. Seeing this, he explained Shiji's intentions for William and others. Although everyone present was already aware of this, only There is the golden lion Shiji who was kept in the dark.

The golden lion Shiji was still smiling complacently. He was very satisfied with the expression of resentment gradually revealed by William, Aramis, Selkirk and others after hearing Crick's words, but they had to suppress it as much as possible. .

"You did a good job on this island." The golden lion Shiji stepped forward and walked forward along the road, "I have been to Magic Valley Town, and it is famous there, but it is nothing compared to your place. .”

When he turned around, he saw that William and the others hadn't followed, so he flicked on the ashes of his cigar and asked, "This is my first time here, shouldn't you be my guide? Or, don't you Welcome guests?"

"Is it a villain?" Aramis replied in a low voice.

William raised his hand to stop Selkirk's words, looked at the golden lion Shiji who had already put on a victorious smile on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I will take you around this town myself."

Golden Lion Shiji didn't care whether William smoked or not, he took out a cigar from his pocket, threw it to William, and praised: "Know the current affairs."

"Crow told me what you have done, shipyards, trading companies, banks, and intelligence agencies," Golden Lion Shiji deliberately mentioned Crowe to imply that William knew everything about him, "Your You have a good mind and a great layout, but it's a pity that the East China Sea has restricted your development."

"I thought that someone like you would say that I only develop in the East China Sea, and the structure is very small." William replied with a half-smile.

"I'm not a fool who thinks that being a beggar in the New World is better than being a king in the East China Sea. What's more, the new steamship you designed is a hundred times more powerful than a king."

"People who only know how to work hard, live and dream, and have no lofty goals and plans in this sea are those who have a low level. It doesn't matter whether such a person is in the East China Sea or the Great Sea Route, it is actually the same. The difference is just higher and lower strength. Just a few, in this world, it is doomed to be a small boat drifting with the tide, and it is difficult to influence the whole world." The golden lion Shi Jiman said, rare, without too much condescension and superiority in his tone.

William said silently, what Golden Lion Shiji said was actually a matter of strategic planning.

Whether it is Roger the Pirate King or the Golden Lion Shiji standing in front of William at this time, strictly speaking, according to the definition of William's previous life, they have already broken away from the definition of "pirate".

What they are doing is actually fighting against the world government, not evading the world government like other pirates.

They have already broken away from the "low taste" that only knows about burning, killing and looting.

Roger started the era of great pirates, and before he died, he slapped the navy and the world government who had complacently executed him.

The golden lion Shiji always pursues world domination.

Their goals and ideas are the most important thing that distinguishes them from other pirates and reflects the sign of a huge pattern.

If only pure "power" is used to determine the pattern, then the pattern of beasts must far exceed that of humans. Even in this world, those Neptunes in the deepest part of the ocean, which are countless times larger than islands, also have terrifying abilities. strength.

What Golden Lion Shiji said before was actually not only said to William, but also to himself, so the tone quickly returned to the original: "However, your things, whether it is a shipyard, a trading company, or a bank , With your own strength, it is too slow to develop and grow bit by bit. In this dangerous world, there are too many accidents. Only when you are protected by the strong can you grow stronger."

"So in the end, I just asked me to take refuge in you, and even the foundation I created over the years was given to you for nothing." William said coldly.

Golden Lion Shiji didn't care about William's attitude, he laughed and said: "You have to take a long-term view, I am very optimistic about you, and maybe I will train you to be my successor in the future."

William sneered and said, "I heard that 'Whitebeard' Edward likes to adopt people as sons to win over his subordinates. Do you want me to be your 'son' too?"

"Be my 'son'?" The golden lion Shiji glanced at the blond William, subconsciously touched his long blond hair, and said amusedly, "That depends on whether you can convince my old subordinates gone."

"Can I say no?" William asked.

"You won't refuse," Golden Lion Shiji withdrew his smile, and said cruelly, "You are a smart person, knowing that even if you refuse, it's just a little trouble for me, I will still accept your power, and you, will die!"
