Pirates: The Black Earl

Time flies, time flies.

With eyes closed and opened, a month has passed.

The World Conference ended in a harmonious atmosphere. I don't know what kind of promise the Five Old Stars made to the royal families of various countries. Before they left, they all smiled happily, and unified the front of the revolutionary army.

This means that in the next four years, the Revolutionary Army will usher in an unprecedented cold winter.

The great alliance of interests from more than 170 countries around the world may not be as cruel and hot as the current navy, but its pervasiveness and penetration are enough to crush the will of most people.

The counterattack of the revolutionary army that Xiao had vowed to do so far has not happened. Perhaps it was because the encirclement and suppression operations that lasted for more than two months caused heavy losses to the revolutionary army.

In the new world, BIG MOM led troops into Kaido's territory for no reason, attacked and occupied several islands, and Kaido fought with him on a certain winter island in anger. , is currently in a state of cold war.

Then there was the reorganization of the Giant Pirates, which shocked the world a hundred years ago, and the news spread, and the whole world was boiling!

Only half of 1518 has passed, but judging from the current situation, the sea will never calm down in the second half of this year.

Meanwhile, the Great Route, the Third Route, Isle of Tots.

This is an ordinary-looking island.

The environment is somewhat similar to that of Drum Country. There is only one town on the island, and scattered villages are built around the central snow mountain. The lit lights know where the village is.

But that's just the appearance.

Totes Island is actually the largest trading center in the dark world, bar none!

It was also the base camp of "Sea Transport King" Umit.

Of course, now, the owner here has been replaced by His Majesty Shichibukai, the "Black Earl" Francis Lovett.

Through the caves on the periphery of the island, a merchant ship crossed the dark river and went straight to the central port of the island.

As soon as you enter, the atmosphere is instantly different. The outside is deserted and the sky is full of wind and snow, but the inside is bustling with people coming and going.

Merchants, Pirates, Bounty Hunters,

There is a constant stream of people coming and going on the plank road built along the stone wall; at the platform port, labor coolies are busy moving goods and supporting their families; portly businessmen with cigars in their hands, chatting and laughing with well-dressed butlers.

Boxes of arms, treasures, illegal drugs and even living people were moved into the warehouse one after another and shipped to all parts of the world.

Then the sailor shouted the chant and drove the boat away from the dark river to which the corresponding number belonged.

The shape of the entire Tots Island is actually like a beast standing on the sea. The snow mountain is the inscription on its back, but on Tots Island it has six legs, which stand on the sea and form six dark rivers. .

No. 1 and No. 2 underground rivers can only enter and cannot enter, No. 3 and 4 underground rivers can only exit but not enter, and No. 5 and 6 are not open on weekdays. They are only allowed to be used when there is a large flow of goods to avoid congestion.

This huge space on the side of the mountain, which is comparable to the fortress of the Navy headquarters, is only a part of Port No. 1, and there are six underground port islands as large as it. It can be seen that the materials handled by Totes Island every year are absolutely astronomical. number.

As the owner here, the profit is also an astronomical figure.

It's just a pity...

On the edge of the port, an old man with white hair combed neatly back before boarding the ship looked back at the bustling area, stepped on the steps and held on to the railing with one hand, and sighed.

"It's a pity that it already belongs to the Black Earl."

"otherwise……"

"What else?"

"Otherwise, the old man really wants to get involved...huh?!"

Turning around suddenly, the old man shivered suddenly when he looked at the well-mannered young man in a black tuxedo suit in front of him.

"Ah... Lord Aka!"

As soon as this remark came out, the busy flow of people around suddenly stagnated.

Everyone looked at the man in black standing by the port with fear and apprehension in their eyes.

There is no doubt that the visitor was the leader of the three black knights, Azcatatek, who was sent here by Lovett to clean up Umit's henchmen and maintain the normal operation of the route.

Of course, after he came here, the world gave him a nickname full of awe.

【Skeletal Lord】!

"Why did Lord Skeleton come here?!"

"I don't know! But something big must be happening!"

"Leave quickly, otherwise he will move his hands, and he won't care who is behind us."

Everyone shuddered, and the merchants hurriedly ordered the ship to sail, regardless of continuing to ship the goods.

Ignoring the sound of breathing from around, A-Ka calmly stared at the white-haired old man, and said, "You can also call A-Ka?"

The latter was sweating profusely, his aristocratic manner dissipated in an instant, and he bent down.

"Yes... I'm sorry, Mr. Bones!"

no respond.

A drop of cold sweat slipped down the tip of his nose and fell to the ground, wetting the slate.

But the old man dared not look up.

He had never seen Earl Hei before, but everyone here knew exactly how the Duke of Skeleton was.

In the days when Earl Hei had just taken over Umit's property, many subordinates loyal to Umit went on strike and even gathered crowds to make trouble in various parts of the sea.

Everyone was waiting to see Earl Black's joke, maybe they could get a share of the action.

But then, a bloody massacre stopped everyone's mouths.

There was no negotiation, no persuasion, and no statement.

Mr. Bones directly chose to do it.

That was also the first time that the world saw the Skeleton Lord make a move. He turned into a huge, thin and ugly beast, rushing into the crowd with extremely violent movements to reap his lives.

Those bone-blade throwing knives stronger than steel can easily pierce through hundreds of people's bodies and still have enough strength. The perfect combination of strength and speed, the last move thrusts the arm into the ground, in a space as big as ten football fields in front of them. Infinite bone spears extend out of the center, clearing the field with one move.

Just ten minutes.

There were a total of 1,700 rioters in the base camp Totes, and none of them survived!

Blood stained the entire port red, and even now the remaining blood stains on the walls have not been cleaned.

Even their family members were killed one by one by the killer who received a reward within a month after the incident.

At that time, before the onlookers could recover from their astonishment, bad news also came from another location. Although the golden bald man was not as violent as the skeleton man, he was equally ruthless and caused the second massacre.

Then came the third, fourth, fifth...

The three black knights under Earl Black shot at the same time, killing all the rebels.

No begging for mercy, no remorse, this is massacre, not suppression!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Does the Black Earl need no workers?

If he keeps killing like this, no one will work for him soon.

But what happened next refreshed their cognition again, that is, the three major black knights gathered the corpses of the people who died in the previous five massacres together, and jointly used a certain ability to bring those corpses...

Resurrected! ! !

To be precise, it turned into a zombie, not really resurrected.

Some went back to their posts and continued to work, while the other took the butcher's knife with rancid and deadly plague, and went to other places.

After the sixth massacre by the army of the undead, all the dust settled.

Because the rest of the people understand one thing.

That is, the Black Earl only needs them to exist, not to live.

Either obey, or obey after death.

Life and death make no difference to him.

"The necromancer who controls death"!

Everyone thought of the title that Earl Hei announced when he became Qi Wuhai, and they were all dumbfounded.

As the most dazzling existence among them.

The name of Lord Skeleton spread like wildfire, making the entire dark world silent.

However, what really scares all parties in the black market is the method of the bones.

Guys who become zombies can only do some hard work, and the decision-makers still need living people.

So he promoted new living people to take charge of various shipping lines, and at the same time distributed zombies to each fleet. In the black market, a world that holds no grudges, he easily resolved the problem of people's fluctuating hearts after the massacre.

In such a continuous fight, within a month, the property left by Umit completely changed its owner.

For such an existence, the old man did not dare to be disrespectful.

At this moment, he couldn't help but want to slap himself.

Why are you so talkative?

He heard the nickname "Aka" from another black knight under the Earl of Black, subconsciously called it that, and it angered him, right?

It must have angered the other party, right? !

Die, die, die!

Quickly think of any way to beg for mercy!

Just when the old man was feeling out of breath, suddenly, A-Ka said softly, "I'll give you 50% of this deal, do you have any comments?"

call!

Heaving a sigh of relief, the old man quickly replied: "No...no, of course not!"

"Well, let's go."

Akan pouted his chin: "Next time, I will dig out your soul and torture you for a hundred years."

The fifth-level black knight does have this ability.

Swallowing life energy and soul energy is the instinct given to them by Lovett, a prerequisite for growth. As long as the instinctive digestion process can be controlled, a complete soul can be separated.

Hearing the words, the old man nodded repeatedly as if he had received an amnesty.

I took a life!

Standing on the deck, looking at the lights gradually disappearing behind the wall, he pulled the skirt of his clothes with lingering fear.

"Hey, when did that ship come?"

Looking back, the old man suddenly found that a new merchant ship was docked at the place where he left.

And the hanging sign is very familiar, it seems...

"hiss!!"

Taking a sharp breath, the old man gave orders to speed up, regardless of continuing to observe.

For a moment, the merchant ship rammed across the dark river at a flying speed, splashing large white waves and fleeing at high speed.

"What happened, why did the three monsters get together!"

At the port, those who had no time to escape or who had nowhere to escape looked with fear in their eyes, looking at the huge mountain of meat that came out of the cabin, step by step, and cracked the hard stone.

And the blond man with a crutch hanging from his waist and eyes as cold as ghosts and gods.

Skull Lord, Golden Faced Buddha, Six-armed Ape Demon.

Why did these three people come here together?

Skeleton Lord would not kill people indiscriminately, but the Golden Faced Buddha and the Six-armed Ape Demon are completely vicious!

Then, what made them even more horrified was that the three did not say hello after meeting.

Instead, he moved the stairs to the edge of the deck like an ordinary coolie, then knelt on one knee on the stone slab and lowered his head.

"Welcome to the host!"
