Codex Pirates

Chapter 82: The New Captain (Part 2)

"This man," William suddenly drew his knife and chopped off Barbarossa's hair tied to the cable. The head rolled twice on the ground, and was then stepped on by his foot. His voice grew louder and turned into a low growl. Suppressing the crowd who were once again agitated because of his previous speech, "I failed to give you and my due rewards! He can no longer lead us back to glory, so he is not worthy to be the captain of this ship!" "

"But from now on, you will never die for a greedy and stupid captain, but will go forward for a great goal," William announced loudly, "because from today, I, I am your new captain, I will not only make you rich, nor will I only make you strong, I will also make you and me become new legends in the East China Sea!"

Hutcherson swallowed, even as an old fritter, he could not deny that at this moment, William, with the momentum of killing Barbarossa, and his previous prestige, coupled with these remarks, had a certain influence on himself. Certainly provocative.

"From now on, this ship has a new pirate group and a new captain, so I will give you a chance to choose freely, a chance to challenge fairly," William moved his nose slightly, pointing the tip of the knife at In the crowd, he still had a smile on his face, but it was different from the easy-going and friendly people in the past. The smile at this time was full of murderous intent, "Right here, right now! I will give you a chance to challenge me, as long as you can kill me, everything I just said will be nullified."

The deck was deadly quiet, only the sound of the sea breeze echoing in the sky, no one spoke, more precisely, no one dared to speak, for fear of being misunderstood by William as intending to challenge him.

William smiled even more, he scanned around slowly, and repeated again: "I have finished my words. From today onwards, I will be your new captain. Is there anyone who disagrees?"

Although not everyone in the room was convinced of William, there is no doubt that no one in the room had the courage to face Barbarossa, who killed the Devil Fruit ability alone, with outstanding swordsmanship and popularity. The tall man showed dissatisfaction.

The young Nadal was excited by William's speech. His slightly childish young face was full of excitement. Seeing that no one showed a challenge, he couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Captain!"

William has a stronger influence on the young pirates and newcomer pirates on board, and his prestige is also higher. With Nadal as the leader, those old pirates who are convinced by him, and young or short-term pirates can't help shouting .

All of a sudden, the voice of "captain" on the deck rang out.

In the cabin, several captives and the pirates guarding them also heard the shouts, and the two groups also looked at each other, not knowing what happened above.

On the deck, William asked everyone to shout for a while, enjoying a burst of cheers, and only raised his hand to signal them to stop after the shouts subsided.

William said loudly: "I have received your voice, I have given you a chance, but no one dared to jump out! Then I will take all this as no one has any objection to my being the captain, then who will If you dare to disobey my order, don't blame me for being ungrateful."

William's tone became colder, and his gaze vaguely swept across Felton's group, who lowered their heads unwillingly to meet William's gaze.

William said coldly: "I will not hang you cruelly alive on the bow of the ship like Barbarossa, I will cut off the head of the violator myself, and then throw his body into the sea to feed the fish. We are the 'boys of the sea', and we should be buried in the sea when we die."

Hearing this, the ship doctor Wood touched the top of his bald head uncomfortablely, shrinking his neck in fear.

William then let the crowd with different moods disperse, leaving only Crowe to accompany him.

When Felton left, he glanced at William with envy and hatred. Seeing that William came back with nothing but Barbarossa's head, he knew that he probably ate the devil fruit on the Swordfish Pirates. up.

In all fairness, if Felton were to take on the role of William, he would eat the Devil Fruit without hesitation. The ferocity and prestige of Barbarossa, the Devil Fruit ability user, is something that any pirate on board would have envied and expected. This made Felton feel even more uncomfortable, as if the fruit should have belonged to him.

However, Felton doesn't have the guts to provoke William for the time being. He may not be William's opponent in the first place, and now he has no extravagant hopes for challenging William who may have eaten a devil fruit.

He felt that it was time for him to leave. He was able to become the first officer purely because he hugged Barbarossa's thigh, and Barbarossa also hoped to use his discord with William to add water to the management of the ship. Now that Barbarossa is dead, there was a gap between him and William. Now William is the captain. I don't know if he, the deputy captain, can continue to be the captain.

Felton decided to recruit some people while William was still on the ship and the identity of the captain was not yet deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He would break away from the pirates when he landed and find another way out.

As long as he has the strength and manpower, if he can attract some skilled cadres, he should be able to get along with other pirate groups, and his status will not be too low when he just boarded the ship. It's not impossible for the pirates to sail out to sea.

William withdrew his gaze from the backs of Felton and his group, and calmed down his slightly ups and downs. Only now did he have the time and opportunity to savor the joy of victory.

Although William was considered a high-level white-collar worker in his previous life, and the number of people under his command was no less than now, there is no comparison between then and now.

This ship is a small independent kingdom. The future and even the lives of the people on this ship are in the hands of William from today. Using a ship as a metaphor, the captain of the pirate group is not only the keel that supports the hull, but also The sails lead the ship forward, the rudder sets the direction, and the anchor stabilizes the hull.

After this is his ship, his crew.

He controls nearly a hundred ferocious bandits on board, and this power plays an important role in the entire East China Sea.

A man cannot be powerless for a day.

William squinted his eyes slightly, rubbing against the fenders of the ship. For a power fan, there is no enjoyment that compares to gaining more power.

Crowe is a smart man, he has been silent, allowing William to enjoy the joy that only belongs to him.

After a while, William slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Crowe beside him: "Keep Barbarossa's head safe, that's my gift to Roy and Arcadio."
