As time drew closer, the number of pirates gathering here finally reached a peak today. For a time, the sounds of quarrels and fights could be heard everywhere on the Drifter, and it was more lively than the Chinese New Year.
"Everyone, the alliance meeting will be held tomorrow. Today, I ask you to restrain yourself for the sake of the King of Shipping. We will talk about it later if you have anything to do."
Fat Edie walked out of the crowd sweating profusely. In other words, even the "Sea Transport King" Umit, the four kings of the dark world, moved out, which made the two groups of pirates stop fighting and decided to find a time to fight to the death. .
After a busy day, Edie returned to his home and suddenly found that the window was open, and a tall but not thin figure was sitting in his place, wearing a round-brimmed hat on his head.
"Mr. Lafitte! You're finally here!"
Edie breathed a sigh of relief and walked over with joy on his face: "You don't know, those pirates feel uncomfortable all over if they don't cause trouble. If you don't come to host, I really have no choice."
"Hmph, don't worry, Captain Edie, we promise you there will be many benefits."
Lafitte knew that he was acting. If there were too many pirates, it would be easy to cause trouble, but everyone had to give the King of Ship the respect, so big trouble was impossible.
But why bother telling the truth
He's just a greedy hyena.
"I know I've caused you trouble during this period."
"Let's do this. Here are 100 million Baileys. This is our Blackbeard Pirates' compensation for those guys who caused destruction."
As he spoke, Lafitte picked up a box next to him and placed it on the table.
"How embarrassing is this!"
Edie rubbed her hands with joy and hugged the box, her eyes glowing with gold.
This time he agreed to allow the Blackbeard Pirates to use the Drifter as the venue for the Alliance Conference. The benefits he could gain were considerable. In addition, these 100 million beli were equivalent to what he earned from operating the Drifter for a year. of dividends.
Who would have trouble with Bailey
Even the Golden Emperor can't.
Edie thought happily.
Seeing his money-obsessed look, Lafitte smiled and said nothing. He stood up after a moment and said, "Our Blackbeard Pirates will take over starting tomorrow. Captain Edie just needs to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the logistics."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
Edie smiled and patted her chest.
"In that case, I'll take the first step..."
After saying that, Lafitte spread a pair of wings behind his back, rushed out of the window, and disappeared into the night.
After he left, Edie's expression became cold. He came to the desk and touched it. He opened the drawer and looked at the files inside that seemed to have never been touched. Suddenly he raised his eyebrows and picked up a hair on the ground. Eyes narrowed.
This is a warning!
Edie understood instantly.
"Damn pirate! You don't trust me so much?!"
Edie cursed secretly, and then there was a sneer on his face, and a strange light shone in his eyes under the dim light.
…
There was once a stable life in front of me, but I didn't cherish it and regretted it only after I lost it.
If God gives me another chance, I will say three words to that man.
"I stayed!"
In the dark alley, Dongte, who was wearing a black cloak, took out Bailey, who was covered in blood from a body with a cut throat, and his face looked like salted fish.
I'm so stupid, really.
Obviously knowing that he is a small-minded person.
If I had chosen to stay, I would not have been thrown here. If I had not been thrown here, I would not have gone out to inquire for information. If I had not gone out to inquire for information, my wallet would not have been stolen. If I had not had my wallet stolen, He wouldn't stay awake in the middle of the night and come out to kill people.
After turning over the body but not finding his wallet, Dongte put Bailey into his pocket and sighed while holding back his nausea. Although we managed to sneak into the Drifter during today's peak visitor period, we were off to a bad start, which is not a good sign!
"who?!"
At this time, there was an exclamation outside the alley.
Donte looked up and recognized the crew of the Drifter.
Although the Drifter has a rather special appearance, it is a ship after all. For the safety of merchants, it should have no less defense force.
Covering half of his face behind the cloak, Dongte stood up and said in a rough voice modified by the voice changer: "Pirate Vendetta, if you don't want to die, get out!"
Gulu!
The night watchman swallowed his saliva and said in a stern voice: "I...I warn you not to mess around! This ship is protected by Lord Umit, the Shipping King, otherwise we will not be able to spare you!"
If you exclude his movements of trotting while speaking, these words are still somewhat intimidating. Dongte smiled coldly and pulled out half of the sword blade.
Seeing his actions, the night watchman screamed, dropped the lamp and ran away.
"It's murder, help!"
A few minutes later, sitting on the roof of a house to avoid the patrol team, Dong Te silently gnawed on the hard dried meat and looked up at the sky.
I'm so stupid, really.
if…
"Um???"
At this time, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the figure flashing across the sky under the moonlight. The information Ron had given him quickly emerged in Dongte's mind.
"Devil Sheriff" Lafitte!
"Are you here already? The guy with black beard!"
Dongte stood up and grabbed Qingquan's cold knife handle, his eyes as sharp as a sword.
Moonlight night, roof, black cloak, katana.
Quite a chivalrous demeanor.
The half-eaten piece of dried meat in my hand was really a bit unsightly.
…
The Drifter, in a house occupied by Lafitte and Bassas.
Click...
A slight collision woke up Bashas, who was sleeping. He punched him, and he was relieved when he was knocked back by a cane.
"Did you find anything?"
"I haven't found anything yet, but Lame Edie is an immature white-eyed wolf, so I have to be on guard."
Lafitte found a chair and sat backwards, putting his hands on the back of the chair. When he said this, the corners of his mouth curled up: "But no matter what he wants to do, as long as the Canglong doesn't show up, we don't have to be afraid!"
"Of course!"
Bassas bulged his biceps and said aggressively: "I hope Canglong really appears and see if he is as scary as the legend says!"
"There will be a chance, just be patient."
Lafitte said slowly with a chilling smile on his scary white face.
"But the Drifter is really not peaceful recently. In the few minutes since I came back, I saw three bloody incidents."
Lafitte thought of the young swordsman sitting on the roof miserably munching on dry food, and the Drifter patrol in that area, casting a net to catch the murderer.
"We will make an official appearance starting tomorrow, and then follow my command. Safety first."
"Tch! It's boring!"
Bassas pursed his lips in disdain, but there was nothing he could do. Although Lafitte was not the strongest among them, he had the best brains. This matter was of great importance, and he did not dare to disobey Teach's orders.
…
The next day, the alliance meeting was officially held.
In the large square prepared by Edi, the pirates who came to join the Pirate Alliance gathered together.
"Ooh, la, la, you don't dare to sit in the first row, get out of the back!"
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. A burly man over three meters tall unscrupulously displayed his aura, and came to the front row with a man with stern eyes, half of his head bald, and the other half of his hair dyed green. The pirate was beside him and kicked out.
Bang!
The man didn't expect that someone would take action here. He was caught off guard and was kicked far away, vomiting blood.
"captain!"
"Damn it, do you want to die, you bastard?!"
A group of pirates around the man were shocked, and then they all took out their weapons. Not to be outdone, the pirate behind the strong man also took out his weapons and prepared to fight.
At this time, Lafitte walked onto the stage dressed as a mime actor, stretched out his hand to silence the noisy voice, and said: "Everyone, everyone, we are here for the alliance. If there are any conflicts, can we resolve them later?"
Edie emerged from nowhere at this moment, with a warm smile on his face.
"Yes, we have been waiting for so long. If the alliance meeting is destroyed due to internal strife, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
The strong man didn't care about the waste of time, but he knew that if he didn't stop, the captains who were wasting their time would definitely not let him go.
"Cunning lame wolf!"
After taking a deep look at Edie, the strong man snorted and signaled to the crew behind him to put away their weapons. He sat down with his big sword and ignored the enemies holding scimitars and muskets beside him.
"Damn it, go to hell!!"
The unknown captain who was kicked away was not willing to accept such humiliation. When he saw the strong man sitting down, he took out a knife and rushed behind him, causing a cry of surprise.
But at this moment, there was a figure faster than him. When he was about to stab him with a knife, a big hand pinched his head and lifted him up like a chicken.
"Weihahaha! What a disobedient little guy!"
"That's... fighting champion Bashas!"
"It turns out to be him! No wonder he has such speed!"
There was a gasp from the crowd. Although Bashas was huge, he moved extremely fast. It was obvious that he was the unconventional who made the first move, but he ended up pinching him.
Several pirate captains frowned silently, wary of the power of the Blackbeard Pirates.
"Bashas, deal with it."
Lafitte spoke calmly, and the next moment, a strange breaking sound sounded.
Bang!
The headless body with residual warmth fell to the ground, and soon the crew of the Drifter took the body away. Then, Lafitte grinned and continued.
"Okay, the troublemakers have been dealt with, now let's officially start the discussion!"
