The Laughing Clown in Pirate

Simon held the gun barrel with one hand and dozed under the wooden eaves by the harbor.

The wind was not strong, and the light rain floated like mist in the air, falling mistily. The drizzle falling under the eaves slowly gathered into water flow, flowing down the eaves, forming a transparent water line in the air.

The posture supported by the balance instinct was out of balance at this moment, and Simon's head tilted below the waterline.

The cold water broke him out of his hazy sleep. He nervously held the gun in one hand, turned his head and looked around.

In the drizzle, the light on the harbor lighthouse was dim, emitting a blurry halo.

Simon's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Nothing unusual...not yet...

Because of the sailing competition held by the Tianlong people with a championship prize of up to 100 million, the entire Shampoo Islands fell into unprecedented enthusiasm. Those pirates who had no choice but to stay on this island due to the illegal coating picket law finally found a way to vent their enthusiasm

activities, gearing up to win the huge championship bonus.

Even the pirates who had been plundering in the surrounding waters were heading towards the Shampoo Islands.

Of course, what the navy is worried about is not the pirates participating in sailing competitions.

They worry about other things.

The navy of the Shampoo Islands Naval Branch has about a thousand people, which is 2 to 3 times that of an ordinary naval base. This barely guarantees that they will not be overwhelmed by rampant pirates and gangs, but it still carries out the task of Admiral Akainu supervising the entire Shampoo Island.

But it is very short of manpower.

There are 79 islands in the Chambord Islands, and each island has about 2-3 ports, so if the navies of the naval branches are evenly distributed, each port will have about 5 navies.

But in reality, the situation is even worse. More than a hundred sailors have to stay at the branch, and another hundred elite sailors are divided into ten teams to deal with emergencies. The Tianlong people have also forcefully transferred 200 sailors for the opening of the sailing promotion competition.

A dedicated security maintenance team.

So... Simon is currently guarding the ports, plus Simon, there are three people in total.

At this time, two of his colleagues were sleeping in a house "voluntarily" donated by enthusiastic residents.

If he hadn't injured his Achilles tendon in the special training a few days ago, as a member of the storm picket team, he would not have guarded this poor port with the branch's veteran Youzi.

He should be on a warship at this time, in the blocked sea area. Maybe he will meet the legendary pirate and send him to the impel city.

Of course, all this is just a fantasy of a painful reality.

Unfortunately, he was injured and had to endure the ostracism of the veterans, guarding the shipyard that had been closed for many days alone on this cold rainy night.

The cold and moist air poured into his nose, causing Simon to sneeze. When he raised his head, he became more energetic and saw the figure under the yellow light.

Simon squinted his eyes, and he was sure that there was a person wearing a raincoat observing him in the corner.

He picked up the gun, took aim, and pulled the trigger. There was a gunshot, and the bullet accurately hit the wall next to the man's face.

The flying rocks hit the man in the face.

"Hold still, man! I'm runner-up in the Navy branch shooting competition!"

Simon shouted in the light rain. The man in the raincoat did not speak. After two or three seconds, he slowly raised his hands.

"Good, now come out to the lights!"

Simon still pointed the gun at him and said, the man slowly moved his steps and walked slowly into the dim light in the misty drizzle.

"Take off the hood!" Simon said again.

The man took off the hood of his raincoat, revealing a weathered face.

He has round eyes, white slightly curly hair simply tied back on his head, and his beard is thinly shaved into a delicate shape.

"Who are you? What's your name? What are you doing here?"

"Ah, my name is Reilly. I am a boatman and work in this ship repair yard." Reilly paused and added: "Before this ship repair yard was closed."

"If you don't believe me, Lord Navy, you can look at my hands!" Rayleigh said, raising his hands.

Simon took a few steps forward, standing in the drizzle, and then stopped. His excellent eyesight was enough for him to see clearly at this distance.

The man's raised hands were rough but had no particularly protruding calluses, and the cuticle was very thick - these were indeed the hands of a pirate.

"What are you doing here late at night?" Simon asked again without putting down his gun. More than ten days ago, two of his partners died at the hands of the former boatman.

"Master Navy, I've been working as a shipwright all my life, and I've earned a good income. But I've had a bit of a break these past few months..."

"Let's get to the point..."

"I drank some wine and walked here unknowingly... Maybe I can feel at ease after seeing the ship repair yard!" Reilly glanced at the sealed ship repair yard with a simple smile on his face.

Then the smile gradually disappeared and turned into a look of panic.

"The Navy..."

Boom... The steel cannonball hit the sealed door of the ship repair yard directly, shattering the door into pieces.

Simon turned around and faced the direction where the cannonballs were flying. There, above the waves in the misty drizzle, a pirate ship was approaching!

Bang! Bang! Bang! In the drizzle, Simon reluctantly fired three shots at the pirates on the observation deck.

It was too far away and separated by a curtain of rain, so not a single shot hit.

The pirate ship was approaching quickly, and soon the cannon on the bow spewed flames again and fired dark shells!

"Get down!" Simon shouted. He was some distance away from the boatman and couldn't help!

Boom! The solid cannonball hit the ground behind Simon, and splashed rocks flew over Simon's head.

Simon, whose ears were ringing, stood up from the wet ground and shouted to the boatman who was standing aside stupidly: "Run, don't just stand here stupidly!"

The two loud shellings also woke up the two "senior" navy men who were sleeping peacefully in the room.

They didn't have time to put on their navy uniforms, so they left the house with their upper bodies naked and guns in hand.

Before Simon could call them for support, as soon as they saw the approaching pirate ship, they shouted: "Retreat!"

He rushed into the rain and ran away without looking back!

For a moment, Simon also had the urge to run away, but the whirlwind armband on his sleeve did not allow him to do so, nor did the Iron Seagull medal hanging on his chest.

"Run!" He yelled at the boatman again, gritted his teeth, and limped towards the ship repair yard at an extremely fast speed.

The reloading speed of the cannonball is about fifteen seconds. As long as he takes one cannonball, it is enough for him to run to the shipyard!

Boom! Another cannonball fell into the sea next to Simon, splashing a huge wave of water and covering Simon's body.

Simon smiled happily, exerting force on one foot, and his whole body jumped, so that the water splashing on him jumped!

While jumping, he untied the gunpowder bag from his waist.

Mangrove resin is difficult to ignite, but once ignited it is difficult to extinguish!

The pirates broke down the door, which greatly facilitated him.

He quickly rushed into the dark shipyard, and a series of gunshots rang out behind him.

As the distance was getting closer, the pirates were afraid of hitting the resin, so they did not use cannon fire.

"Little ones, rush off the boat and bring the resin back. The new world is waiting for us!"

Before the ship could dock, the pirates, under the command of the bearded captain, jumped from the ship into the sea with knives in their mouths and swam towards the ship repair yard.

Looking at the enthusiastic pirates, the captain laughed a few times, stomped hard on the deck and jumped to the door of the ship repair yard in front of the pirates.

After seeing and hearing that his domineering attitude was released, the captain laughed loudly and walked into the dark ship repair yard without fear.

He is a big pirate with a bounty of over 100 million, how could he be scared by a small navy?

Bang! Nail! The pirate captain shook the knife in his hand, and the round projectile embedded in it fell to the ground, making a rustling sound on the wooden floor.

"Come out, little navy, I will make you die a happy death!" the pirate captain said with a laugh. Behind him, the pirates had come ashore and were hitting flints in an attempt to light the rain-soaked torches.

Bang! Another shot, but it was blocked by the hateful pirate. This shot confirmed the direction of the pirate captain. He was running towards this direction quickly, and his leather boots fell on the wooden floor with the sound of "Deng! Deng".

!The sound of boarding!

Simon's heart also trembled with the footsteps, so he gritted his teeth, burst into tears, feared, and cried... he lit the fire with the same trembling hands...

"Captain, you can't see anything in the sea at night!"

"No, it will be beautiful after dawn!"

"It will take a long time for dawn..."

"It will come eventually, but before that... we have to clean up these dirty things!"

Russell pointed to the light at the junction of water and sky.

"We can't let them pollute this blue sea!"

Flames burned in the ship repair factory, and the pirates screamed and snatched barrels of resin from the ship repair factory.

Reilly took off his round glasses and wiped the rain off them.

Then he walked up to the pirates and smiled heartily!

"I'm sorry, I'm a boatman at this shipyard. Can you give me these resins?"

"For you?" The pirate looked up and down at the old man in front of him and laughed mockingly.

"Hahahahaha!"
