Codex Pirates

Chapter 98: The Beginning Land (Part 2)

Guy finally fell on Mary who was carefully protecting his daughter Isa. He first sized up Mary's exquisite face, then glanced at her charming figure unique to young women, then pushed aside the crowd, walked over, and directly He roughly grabbed Mary's hair and pulled her out.

The originally silent crowd suddenly became commotion again. Mary, the proprietress of the tavern, screamed, and her daughter, Isa, cried and clung to her hand. People rushed forward to save Mary, and the scene became chaotic.

There was a "bang" gunshot, and the scene fell silent again. Guy slowly retracted the pistol he had just shot into the sky, and grabbed Mary's hair again. This time, only Mary was screaming and Isa was crying in the crowd. Besides, no one dared to move.

The mayor fell to the ground, curled up in a ball, his eyes closed tightly, as if he couldn't bear to watch the tragedy that might happen next.

Guy was about to open the little girl Isa's little hand, which was holding tightly to her mother Mary, when he heard a cry from afar.

He stared blankly, turned his head to look, and found that a crew member who had been left by him near the ship at the pier was running from the street panting.

"Captain!" The left-behind crew member ran up to Guy and shouted, "There are two pirate ships coming towards us."

Guy thought about it, and said decisively: "We can't let them block our boat at the dock."

He let go, and Mary quickly hugged Isa and retreated into the crowd, but Guy ignored them, looked around at the subordinates in the square, and said loudly, "Everyone, follow me back to the boat immediately!"

Although pirates all have a common enemy - the navy, pirates do not coexist peacefully with each other. They are competitors in the same industry. Smarter pirates know how to guard against each other.

Guy is clearly a smart guy.

"What about these people and property?" asked a close aide.

"If we beat back those pirates, we can come back, can they cross the sea and leave this island?" Guy said coldly.

The pirates in the square all focused their attention on another group of pirates with unknown intentions. At this time, at the periphery of the crowd that turned away from Guy, a woman on the edge of the square saw that no one was paying attention, and suddenly ran towards the street. run up.

Because Guy just gave a loud order, the pirates who were close did not chase immediately, but subconsciously looked at their captain first, and seeing a person running away, there were a few more courageous people on the periphery of the crowd, like the one next to the square. The street ran, and two of them were knocked to the ground by the quick-reacting pirates.

"Run!" But at this time, someone shouted, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic and fled in all directions. In fact, they were more afraid of hearing the news of another group of pirates than Guy and other pirates. It's better to fight desperately and escape with all your strength.

Looking at the chaotic situation, Guy cursed secretly, but he didn't have time to appease the situation, so he ignored the townspeople and loudly ordered his men not to waste time here, and go back to the boat with him.

Most of the pirates obeyed Guy's orders, but there were also quite a few pirates who watched the group of women-dominated civilians running around with their belongings, their eyes turned red, and they chased after them with their knives in their sights.

If William was here and saw this situation, he would definitely scold the mob with disdain. Guy was also very angry, but he had been a pirate for many years, and he knew the virtues of his subordinates, so he ignored those pirates running around, and ran quickly towards the pier with his obedient subordinates.

...

On the sea not far from Black Reef Town, two warships were sailing to the pier of Black Reef Town, riding the wind and waves.

On the tallest masts of the two warships, a pirate flag of the same style is tied on each side. On the black flag, there is a smiling skull wearing a three-cornered hat. In cursive English, there is a letter "M" representing "Morgan" (Morgan), with a curly feather curling from one side of the letter to the sky.

There are two crossed scimitars on the back of the skull. The pirate flag is composed of three colors of black, white and gray. With the little tricks used by the designer, it makes people look at the skull with some perspective. Let the skull make people feel shuddering even though they are smiling.

These two warships are the pirate ships under William's banner, and Sherlock asked someone to help design the pirate flag. After William saw it and was satisfied, he let someone hang it on the mast.

At this time, William, who was wearing a gray gown, black trousers, and a black windbreaker to resist moisture, was standing at the bow of the boat. The sea breeze blew up his long hair and the hem of his clothes. The bangs blown in front of my eyes, still staring at the distant town, I don't know what I'm thinking.

Selkirk behind him called softly: "Captain?"

"Let Harden and Aramis go straight to the pier, and immediately wipe out the remaining pirates on the shore," William said without turning his head. "We are responsible for dealing with the enemy's pirate ships, mainly by boarding."

In the past few months, William has been running around with a group of pirates, cutting off competitors for his wine shop business, and occasionally attacking other pirate groups within his sphere of influence. His second warship is from Snatched from other pirate groups.

He absorbed some skilled and skillful pirates from the defeated pirate group, plus the new crew recruited during this period, the Morgan pirate group has a total of more than 160 members, more than half of whom are old pirates. , Even if William himself is not counted, the strength of the Morgan Pirates is already quite good in the East China Sea.

Crowe graciously handed William a pair of binoculars, and William raised the binoculars to his eyes. Through the lens, he could see the crowds at the pier in the distance, and a group of pirates boarding the ship in some confusion.

William smiled contemptuously, threw the binoculars back to Crowe, turned around, and stopped looking in the direction of the town.

At the same time, Selkirk stood on the bow deck, synthesized a horn with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Everyone is ready to fight!"

On another battleship of the Morgan Pirates, Harden and Aramis were also looking at the direction of the town through binoculars.

Since he had two ships, William appointed Harden and Aramis to take command of another warship, and at the same time took advantage of the situation to break up Selkirk's original subordinates and the old man from the Barbarossa period, and scattered them as backbones to the two warships. on a ship.

Harden looked in the direction of the town for a while, then looked away. Seeing that Aramis was still holding up the binoculars, and with a strange expression on his face, he asked, "Why, what does this town have to do with you?"

Aramis put down the binoculars and bit his lower lip: "Of course, our captain and I have been here before."

This place was the last town where the Denton Pirates were driven and plundered by Colonel Roy. Aramis still remembered that it was here that he, William, Akin and others made peace because of that foolish boy of Wallon. At that time, the second officer Balmond on board had a conflict.

In a blink of an eye, everything has changed. William and him have become characters similar to Colonel Roy at that time, but the role of Black Lagoon has not changed.
