Codex Pirates

Chapter 4 The Navy

William didn't say anything more. Akin and Aramis were limited by their knowledge, and still stuck in the thinking of "soldiers are soldiers, bandits are bandits". The navy should do what the navy should do, and the pirates should do what the pirates should do. , but William knows that this is just a label, and the label will change with the behavior, not the other way around, and it should not be limited by the label.

Appellations and perceptions of the outside world will change with the times.

William faintly felt that the admiral who was chasing their group of pirates was a smart man who knew "flexibility".

When the three of them returned to the tavern with the barrel on their shoulders, they were slightly taken aback by the scene inside.

The person who was kept by William and the others was called Wallon. He just turned eighteen this year. He was a short, strong young man with a thick face. At this time, he was cutting back the hands of a struggling woman with a face of embarrassment.

The woman whose hands were cut back by Wallon's [anti-shielding] shirt is not neat [anti-shielding] and her hair is disheveled. William guessed that she was a young and beautiful girl. There was an obvious slap mark on it, the right eye was completely closed from the beating, and only a gap was exposed, and the blood oozing from the nose and the corner of the mouth was everywhere, all of which made William ugly. Show her original face.

The well-crafted clothes were obviously torn with brute force, and the exposed skin was covered with bruises and tooth marks, which looked a bit glaring.

Wallon has been working in the fields all year round and has a lot of strength. The girl lost her strength after struggling for a while, and just shook her arms in vain.

William frowned again, put down the barrel and walked up to Wallon and asked, "What's going on?"

After he finished speaking, he noticed a blood-stained sharp knife thrown on the ground, as if someone else had taken it from the kitchen, so he asked Wallon again, "Are you injured?"

"No," Wallon shook his head honestly. "This woman just ran in with a knife. At that time, the knife was stained with blood."

Wallon saw William observing the scars on the girl's face, and then added, as if to defend himself: "She was like this when she came in. I didn't hit her. She seemed frightened when she saw me. Wanting to commit suicide with a knife, I subdued her."

William cursed in a low voice, Aramis and Ajin both put down the wine barrels and walked over. Aramis is very flexible and has lived the longest time on the pirate ship, so he is the same as William. , After thinking about it for a while, I understood what was going on, so I said to Wallon angrily: "Fool, you should let her commit suicide."

"She won't let go," Wallon said honestly without hearing the complaint in Aramis' tone, "I didn't have time to stop her at first. If she could let go, she would be dead by this time."

The girl struggled even more after hearing Wallon's words, with a look of remorse and fear intertwined on her face.

"Where did she go?"

"I seem to have seen her run into the tavern just now!"

Before William could think of how to deal with this girl, he heard a burst of shouts coming from outside the tavern, and then the door of the tavern was kicked open from the outside.

The gate, which had been hit continuously in one day, finally couldn't bear the humiliation anymore, and fell to the ground with a "pop", and a few big-footed girls stepped on it unceremoniously. Under the leadership of a leader, several tall seamen The thieves filed in.

Almost at the same time when the door of the tavern was kicked down, William stood up suddenly, and when the other three pirates in the room were attracted by the outside world, he quickly walked in front of the woman.

"William, you..." Wallon, who was closest to him, reacted the fastest, but just as he asked, he saw William had already drawn out his knife and stabbed it into the girl's body.

The swordsmanship skills from the memory of the original owner of the body have never been so clear. The sharp blade in William's hand pierced the girl's vitals accurately and quickly, and he has minimized the pain of the other party.

Aramis exclaimed, and the pirates who filed in happened to see this scene and let out a roar. William only vaguely heard someone shouting "Stop", but he focused all his attention on the girl. Seeing that the girl's eyes turned from panic to bewilderment, she blinked her good left eye, and a few tears slowly flowed out. William also blinked, but nothing came out.

The sound of breaking wind came from far and near, and William pulled out the knife suddenly, bringing out a handful of blood, and then put the knife on the shelf, blocking a knife that had been chopped off from the head.

The one who slashed at William with a knife was the leader of the pirates who broke into the tavern. He was bare-chested, exposing his muscular body, and there was a shallow knife wound on his chest that kept oozing blood, but he didn't care about it on his face. He just gritted his teeth and glared at William. He was holding a knife with one hand. After being blocked by William, he did not continue to attack. His free hand grabbed the shoulder of the girl who was let go by Wallon subconsciously, and threw it towards his companion behind him.

Several pirates took it frivolously, and one of them checked it, and then angrily said to the pirate who was confronting William: "Second officer, this woman is dead!"

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear?" The eyes of the pirate Balmond, known as the second mate, almost burst into flames. He chased here from another street, just for this to make him angry. The beautiful young lady who suffered from a fever was killed by William directly, and she was extremely angry.

"Why, second officer, you have changed your taste, now you like to make friends with dead people?" William said coldly at Balmond.

"William, do you dare to talk back to me?" Balmond laughed angrily, "Do you think that if you hold together a group of brats who don't even know how long they have grown, you will be a character on the boat?"

The pirates behind Balmond were also worms, but their way of venting was destroyed by William, so they were furious. At this time, they also drew their knives, and gradually surrounded William and his group with malicious intentions. stand up.

Aramis, Ajin, and Valon also raised their weapons, looking warily at their former companions who had turned their faces and turned ruthless.

"Hey, speak up if you have something to say, Second Officer!"

Aramis tried to ease the conflict, but Balmond did not agree with him at all.

"Now you know you're afraid?" Balmond smiled cruelly, and was about to order his subordinates to kill William's group when he heard a burst of shouts.

The shouts overwhelmed the women's screams, a series of noisy sounds such as rummaging through boxes and chests, and hurried footsteps in the streets and alleys, entered the ears of him and the pirates in the house.

"The navy is coming!"

The civilians are sheep, and the pirates are wolves. At this time, a cry spreads to the wolves——the hunter with the gun is here!
