Codex Pirates

Chapter 381 Chariot

On the train from the city of seven waters to Puqi, the city of gourmet food, William was leisurely flipping through the newspaper, but as the speed of the train became faster and faster, the sea breeze poured in from the wide open windows, and the corners of the blown newspaper were not in sight. Stop shaking.

William frowned slightly. Seeing this, A Jin quickly closed the window.

Ah Jin's force to close the window was a bit strong, and the loud crashing sound of the window closing made William turn his eyes away from the news in the newspaper and focus on him.

Ah Jin's face was not very good-looking. William only glanced at him, then continued to look at the newspaper, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Still feel uncomfortable?"

"I don't know what's good!" Ah Jin replied with a sneer.

What William and Akin were talking about was actually the local mayor Clint they met in the capital of seven waters. This little-known bureaucrat insisted on the existing right to operate the sea train. Said, do not sell face.

When Tom the Murloc built the sea train, the City of Seven Waters didn't do anything to help, but after the death of Tom the Murloc, he was not humble at all when he snatched the operating rights of the sea train. Espagu, who is single and weak, can't do anything about it.

The bad start made Akin and Selkirk feel bad, but the mood of William and Dampier seemed to be unaffected.

Dampier was walking in the carriage with great interest, observing the sea train. Although he was walking on the track, under the impact of the waves, the train shook slightly, just like riding a boat.

After hearing the conversation between William and Akin, he said, "He won't be the mayor for long, so why be angry with him?"

Selkirk heard the words and asked directly: "To kill him? It should have been done before!"

Dampier just chuckled, and glanced at Portia, Kaslana and other Starlight crew members who were in the same carriage.

In order to experience the sea train, William decided to give up the way of taking the boat and take the train to Puqi, the city of gourmet food. He also brought Portia and other crew members of the Starlight, some of whom sat in the same compartment as William and the others.

When William and the others had just talked, they did not avoid people. Portia and the others heard that Selkirk bluntly said that he would kill the mayor of a city because of his dissatisfaction. Such words were full of pirate habits, and their complexions were a little pale.

Kaslana had an ugly expression on her face, and stared at the back of Selkirk's head fiercely: "Your captain is now the king of Shichibukai, and you can't do illegal things!"

Dampier couldn't help but let out a sneer, while Selkirk lay on the seat, turned around and reprimanded: "Shut up, female navy, William said that he wanted to make up for Portia, the owner of the Starlight, before taking her back together." Puqi supports me, so what are you doing? Why don’t you go back to the Navy Headquarters and make a report, conveying what you’ve seen and heard along the way with us, so that you can get some credit?”

"I want to keep an eye on you and see if you will do anything against Shichibukai's duty!" Kaslana said righteously, "I also want to protect Portia to prevent you from bullying her on the road!"

Selkirk did not respond to her, but returned to his chair, and said to Ajin and William, "It's a good thing Harden is not here, otherwise he would have thrown this silly girl into pieces into the sea to feed the fish!"

"You don't need to scare me!" Although Kaslana said this, her face still turned pale, and Portia hurriedly hugged her shoulders, and whispered in her ear to persuade her to stop her from continuing to quarrel with Selkirk.

When they were arguing, William finally read the whole newspaper, raised his head and said to Portia: "Miss Portia, do you mind taking your crew to visit other compartments?"

Portia nodded tactfully, got up and dragged Kaslana, who was confused and unwilling, and called the crew of Starlight in the carriage to leave.

After everyone inside and outside the car was gone, William said to Selkirk: "Kill Clint? Why did you kill him? That will only make people in the capital of seven waters wary of our group of foreign pirates. The useless mayor is full of sympathy, what we have to play in Seven Waters is not an invader, but a great savior, it is best not to use such a rough method to treat Clint, unless he has become a sinner of the city."

"Then what to do with him?" Selkirk frowned.

"The capital of the Seven Waters was poor and chaotic in the past. I don't see the mayor doing anything. The shipyard, which is the city's pillar industry, has closed down one after another after the opening of the sea train. Should this kind of waste be resigned?" William asked rhetorically. road.

When Ah Jin heard this, he also frowned and interjected: "It's not that easy, otherwise he would have stepped down a long time ago. It is not a matter of a day or two for the capital of seven waters to fall into today's state."

"In the past, it was because no one supported the people below, but now we have us!" Dampier smiled and explained for William, "Besides, we have a huge order in hand. No. It is a huge deterrent to the passage of sea trains that are crucial to the capital of seven waters. As long as we think about it, it is not that difficult to let him step down. I think it is good for Espagu to be the new mayor. He respects you very much and also It fits us well."

The last sentence, Dampier said to William, William nodded slowly.

"What about the other cities? They're not like the capital of seven waters. We can't overthrow the ruling layers of the four cities in one go, right?" Ajin asked.

William threw the newspaper on the table in front of him: "Look at the newspaper. Among the ten news stories on it, nine are related to pirates. This is a chaotic world. Stability and safety are what people want. We want to bring these four news this time. The city is not war, but safety and prosperity. The sea train is the only life-saving straw for the capital of seven waters, so Clint wants to hold on to it, but it may not be the case for the other three cities. , if those three mayors weren't fools, they wouldn't be like Clint."

Ajin couldn't help curling his lips: "Aren't there few foolish rulers we've seen?"

"Oh, then it's the same as Selkirk's proposal. To deal with this kind of fool, just use some simple and rough methods." William smiled, "Let's put some pirates in, kill them, and we'll kill them again." Pirates!"

"Isn't it better to just do this?" Selkirk couldn't help but said.

"Capital of Seven Waters, St. Pruitt, and St. Poplar are all industrial cities. Pirates are not light or heavy. If possible, I don't want to affect the construction of sea trains," William shook his head, "and these four In fact, the line is not only a model for other kings Qibuhai to arouse their interest, but also to arouse the interest of other island countries and cities. The prosperity and stability of the four cities is a demonstration, so that people from other islands can compete to introduce sea trains , using the hands of pirates to overthrow the city's rule, anyone with a discerning eye can see the problem, and the rulers of other island countries and cities will have concerns."

William paused: "This is not conducive to us tying them to our chariot like His Majesty Shichibukai."
