Codex Pirates

Chapter 83: Human Heart (Part 1)

At night, the ship renamed Morgan Pirates anchored at an unknown island.

The pirates on the ship didn't know why William, whose alias was Stolt, gave the pirates such a name, but now that William is the captain, they can only obey.

William knew that for the uneducated gang of pirates, how connotative and stylish the name of the pirate group is is actually secondary, and being straightforward and simple is the top priority, especially to highlight the captain. characteristics—William is especially concerned about this, he thinks this is the easiest way to subtly influence the crew to increase authority and influence.

In view of the fact that William has no arrest warrant yet, nor has he gained a nickname such as "Redbeard", so he will directly use his surname to name his pirate group, and name it For the "Morgan Pirates", this is also the most common naming method for pirates.

In a small cabin, the room was illuminated by a bean-sized light. The vice-captain Felton and the helmsman Digo were drinking. The eyes of the two were blurred and their faces were flushed. I don’t know how long they had been drinking. The food and drink only had peanuts, which seemed a bit shabby for the nominal number two person on board.

Felton took a sip of wine, threw the peanut shells in his hand on the table, and cursed: "A bunch of bastards, they are just newcomers who just got on the boat, and they dare to pretend to be powerful when they hugged Stolter's thigh. I invite you to drink, I want to go to the kitchen to get some food to drink, but Nadal’s stinking small print actually said ‘ask the captain’.”

After William became the captain, he didn't immediately mobilize the personnel on the ship. Felton was still his deputy captain for the time being. Roll it down.

Digo, the helmsman on the ship, was twenty-seven or eight years old, and he was considered an old man on the ship. He had short brown hair, was not tall, but had a stocky build.

He picked up the wine glass with callused palms, unceremoniously poured a big gulp of wine into his mouth, then picked up the wine jug to fill his own glass, and did not do anything to Felton's words from the beginning to the end. reaction.

Felton cursed secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it on the face, he just said with his tongue out: "If you want me to say, it's becoming more and more unbearable to stay on this boat. , but put the old man who had been born and died on the ship for many years under the pressure, it's really fucking unfair."

Digo chewed the peanuts, noncommittal: "The newcomers at sea have always stepped on the old people to get ahead. Didn't Barbarossa do the same thing back then?"

"The question is, we old people, why let him step on the top?" Felton said with a hint of meaning.

"He doesn't need to step on us. He has already stepped on Barbarossa's head. What's more, even if he wants to step on us, what can we do? Barbarossa was killed by him." Digo exhaled, and his tone seemed a little unwilling .

Felton pursed his lips pretending to be disdainful: "He just played some tricks. Barbarossa's ability is afraid of fire. You see, he specially prepared a red-hot sword at that time. What a big deal."

Diego smiled, and Felton blushed, but he drank a lot of wine, his face was already red, and the lights in the room were not too bright, so it was not obvious.

Both of them knew that Felton's words were deliberately belittling William. So what if they knew that Barbarossa was capable of fearing fire? He Felton knew, so what? Does he dare to challenge Barbarossa alone on the ship?

It has been mentioned more than once in the previous article that the three red bearded brothers have a strong figure, almost like a bear. Except for the bloated Hailedin, Reis and Barbarossa are extremely oppressive in appearance. Their figures, even if they are In this world, they are different from ordinary people, which makes them infinitely powerful.

Even without the devil fruit ability, Barbarossa's strength on board is not something someone like Felton can compete with.

Felton knew that Digo was not stupid, so the other party didn't seem to believe it, so he changed the subject and said, "Forget about the other things, he didn't bring back the devil fruit from the Swordfish Pirates, he must have brought it back. It was taken by him alone, 100 million Baileys! According to Barbarossa, it should be shared by the whole ship, why let him eat it for nothing? It is not fair, how can people believe that he will be more than 100 million in the future? Barbarossa strong?"

When Digo heard 100 million Baileys, he couldn't help but smacked his lips, looking a little regretful, and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

After seeing Diego's appearance, Felton felt that his words were effective, so he continued to increase his strength: "I mean, we will leave this broken ship after we land on the shore. There are also a lot of people. When I recruit a few more old people on board, our group will have strength, experience, and technology. Where will we join the group? Will we not be treated as guests? Is the boy strong-tempered?"

"He loves to be the king of kids, so let him stay on the boat with a bunch of brats and stare at him," Felton said with a smug smile, "I really want to see what he will do when he finds out that the boat can't even start." What an expression!"

Diego smiled along with him, but did not give him a positive answer.

This made Felton a little dissatisfied, and he continued to talk for a while, but Digo never let go. Angrily, he left directly, and took away the wine and peanuts he had brought before leaving.

After Felton left, Digo drank the remaining wine in the glass and carefully poured it into his mouth, unwilling to let go of a drop.

When there was nothing to pour out, Digo put the wine glass on the table heavily, and said contemptuously: "Idiot!"

William's words on the bow of the boat three days ago can be said to be truly outstanding. He had conflicts with Zhepu before, and later bought people's hearts on the boat. Nothing compares to it.

Digo dared to say that if anyone dared to stand up during the speech at the bow of the ship, even if they only showed a little dissent or signs, no matter who it was or how many people stood up, William would definitely kill half of the people on board. He won't even blink an eye.

William had already killed Barbarossa, and the chief of the ship had removed the biggest obstacle. It was impossible to allow anyone to hinder him at this time. Anyone with a discerning eye could see his murderous intent, so even if Felton was not convinced , At that time, I didn't dare to stand up, and I didn't even dare to make a sound.

After all, even in terms of the situation, William is not at a disadvantage. Crowe has already sided with William, Harden is similar, and there are some old pirates who have a good relationship with William, such as Hutcherson, and Nadal. a group of newcomers.

At that time, almost everyone on the ship was there, and when William had not become the de facto captain, Felton didn't dare to stand out, but now he was sneaking up on some tricks in the dark. In Digo's view, what is not a fool? ?

It may be a bit funny to talk about the rule of law on the pirate ship, but in fact, there is also the so-called popular will in the pirate group. In front of the whole ship, William publicly asked who was not convinced, and no one raised any objections. Then he will be the captain. It is equivalent to the default of the whole ship.

Since everyone "supports" the captain by default, Felton is still his nominal subordinate now, and he is making connections everywhere on the ship before he lands. Isn't this an excuse to send William to clean him up on purpose? After all, Felton is not the original William, but a navigator, and he cannot be separated from the ship.

There are so many people, and it is impossible for Felton to contact Diego alone. Sooner or later, someone will leak the news to their new captain, William.

Instead of waiting for other people to report the news to William and make a head start in front of the new captain, Digo felt that it would be better for him to do it himself.
