"How far is it to the nearest town?"
Covering his abdomen, Li Ke asked the men he had recruited for the third time with a sullen face.
He didn't know what to say. The East China Sea should be very peaceful, so why couldn't he encounter three waves of scum as soon as he went out to sea?
"Also, we can reach Windmill Town in one and a half days."
The pirate who was appointed as the first mate by his front line looked in fear at the guy in front of him who could make their captain's head spin with just one slap. Although he really didn't want to work with him, his strength prevented him from saying so. Something.
But he knows very well that there are many people like him, so as long as he and others join forces and attack the other party while they are sleeping, or add medicine to the food, they can kill them and take over the pirate group again. came back.
"So the captain only needs to wait for a while. When we reach Windmill Town, we can snatch the doctor and make a fortune there. And I heard that there is a beautiful tavern waitress named Maginot there. When the time comes, I’ll grab it and serve you, Captain.”
He showed a flattering smile, but all he received in response was Li Ke's cold eyes. But he didn't take it seriously. He felt that Li Ke was a dead person, because Li Ke was only one person, but there were dozens of them.
But just after he called Captain Li Ke, news suddenly came from the lookout.
"Kob-headed battleship?! No! We encountered Garp!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the first mate who had just handed over Captain Li Ke suddenly disappeared, followed by a strong explosion. Half of the hull of the ship under Li Ke was directly hit by a black Crushed by the ball. The waves created when the ball entered the water lifted the broken pirate ship directly into the air.
"...Is this targeting me?"
Li Ke, who was thrown directly into the sky by a cannonball, stepped on the broken hull of the ship in the air and looked at the headless body of the first mate whom he had sealed for less than half a day. He really didn't know what to say.
"Is it pure luck, or is it that the will of the world doesn't want me to mix with these bastards?"
Enduring the severe pain, Li Ke stepped on the hull of the flying ship and jumped out of the ship before it landed. And his efforts were not in vain, because the moment he jumped out, the ship behind him exploded.
The reason is also very simple, because the ammunition depot was directly penetrated and then ignited.
"Haha! Ten rings!"
Garp, who was standing on his dog-headed warship, looked at the pirate ship exploding in the sky in the distance and couldn't help laughing. He came back this time to see his grandson, but unfortunately his grandson didn't want to pay attention to him, so he was a little depressed and went out to blow up pirates.
To deal with this kind of pirate ship, which was completely modified from a merchant ship, he only needed to hold the cannonball in his hand and throw it over, and he could easily solve it.
"That's Howard, who has a bounty of two million Baileys. He robbed twelve villages and killed everyone in one village. There is also news that he is smuggling arms and human trafficking. So please stay as long as possible. I risked his life to torture him for information...although I don’t think he would survive.”
After a naval officer with a tangled look on his face finished speaking, he looked at Garp, who was laughing, with some sigh, and Bogart, who was used to it.
Garp's adjutant patted the slightly troubled officer on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Just get used to it, and this kind of scumbag doesn't have much value, and there won't be anyone else in his family."
This officer is a new officer who replaced a promoted clerk, because Garp's casual temperament has often been the case during this time.
But Bogart believes he will get used to it sooner or later.
"All right."
After recording Garp's record, the secretary was ready to watch Bogart and the others command their men to salvage the pirates who had surrendered or lost their fighting capacity.
It's not that the navy is kind-hearted, but the crimes of some pirates are not punishable by death. Since they have been defeated, they will naturally be detained and tried. As for the pirates who died during the capture, naturally no one cares about them, but if they attack people who are unable to resist, they will be targeted by those who are interested.
But just when he and others thought the battle was over, Garp, who had already planned to take a rest, suddenly bent down and picked up a cannonball, looking in the direction of Li Ke with joy on his face.
"Oh, there is a nice guy. Isn't this guy Howard?"
Howard is not dead?
The clerk immediately picked up his telescope and saw Li Ke falling from the sky. Although it was only for a moment, he was sure that Li Ke was not Howard.
"It's not Howard! It's a pirate I've never seen before."
Hearing this, Garp also stopped his plan to throw the cannonball, but turned his head to look at the secretary.
"you sure?"
The clerk observed Li Ke again, then nodded to confirm.
"It's definitely not Howard, but it's not any of the pirates on the wanted poster either."
Garp was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scratched his head.
"I see...it seems like I hit the wrong target! Haha, that's really embarrassing."
Although he said he was embarrassed, there was not much embarrassment on his face. After all, for him, he was just fighting pirates. As for hurting the people on the pirate ship, although he was sorry, there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, according to common sense, people with this kind of strength who still stay on a pirate ship are generally not good people. But out of caution, Garp still ordered.
"But Bogart, send someone to pick him up. If he is really an innocent person, then I will find a way to pay him a boat."
Bogart nodded and ordered his men to get ready.
But Li Ke just wanted to curse.
Everything went wrong for him when he came to the pirate world. Every time he became the captain, within a few hours, the younger brothers who called him captain would die immediately. It really made him wonder if the will of the world was at work.
And up to now, no one except myself has emerged from the sea. It was obvious that the group was wiped out by the cannonballs fired from the dog-headed ship. That is to say, my own strength was just enough, so I barely escaped from that warship. Survive the attack.
But the problem is that the injury is more serious.
The injury, which was originally left alone and would not worsen, has now become even worse due to the attack just now. It has reached a point where it will continue to worsen if it is not treated in time.
Moreover, the warship on the opposite side may not let him go, but he clearly remembers that there is only one person in the navy who has a dog-headed warship.
Navy hero, Garp!
A person who truly stands at the top of the world. If it weren't for his faith and lifelong persistence, he would be able to beat Akainu, one of the three generals and one of the world's top combat power, to death.
I may not be able to win against that smoker Smoker now. If I face Garp head-on, as long as I don't break through the seal, I will definitely be beaten one by one.
"Does it mean that my journey as the Pirate King will start in prison? I will practice my skills hard in the prison, and then stage a show of thirty years in the east of Hedong and thirty years in the west of Hexi?"
Li Ke thought about what happened after he was caught. After all, it was impossible for Garp to let the pirates go, and he had become the boss of a pirate ship. This was impossible to explain.
Not to mention that he is still seriously injured and seems to have no choice but to surrender.
"However, in prison, although the food is a bit poor, my visit this time is to lay a foundation for myself and hone my will and strength. Therefore, a prison where someone delivers food and takes care of clothes and accommodation seems to be a real training place. Good place?"
Li Ke, who was caught trying hard to keep himself afloat, couldn't help but think wildly while waiting for the navy to come over and catch him.
And I think my idea is quite reasonable.
"So, is jail the only way out?"
Looking at the approaching navy warship, Li Ke thought of this sentence for no reason. What surprised him was that because he had no reason to resist, the naval actions to salvage him were not so rough.
Especially an old man who didn't seem to have a high IQ, but gave people a sense of reliability. He called the ship's doctor immediately after he got on the deck, and then walked up to him and handed him a piece of senbei.
"Eat?"
Is this what the Navy is asking?
Li Ke glanced at the other party speechlessly. Although the other party's face was very different from the one in the anime, he still guessed the other party's identity.
"Is it Lieutenant General Garp?"
He took the senbei and weakly stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing the strange-tasting thing, he complained to the other party.
"You are really rude. I just wanted those pirates to send me to a place with a doctor, but you almost sent me to heaven."
It is impossible to say that I have no resentment towards the other party. I was sitting on the boat while reading the newspaper, and suddenly I was robbed by the navy. He couldn't make sense of this, but if he thought about it carefully, the reason why he encountered such an experience was inevitably related to him forgetting to let those scum put down the pirate flag.
Garp was just performing his duties. If he really wanted to say it, he was just being a little rough. There was nothing wrong at all.
After hearing this, Garp finally showed a little embarrassment on his face, but he immediately covered it up with laughter. His adjutant Bogart originally wanted to ask Li Ke why he didn't put down the pirate flag since he forced the pirates to send him to see a doctor, but after seeing Garp's awkward smile, he gave up.
If the other party is a bad person, Lord Garp can tell it. If Garp thinks there is no problem, then even if there is a problem, he will not be able to tell it.
Garp, on the other hand, didn't think too much, but slapped Li Ke on the shoulder vigorously to relieve his embarrassment.
"Ahaha! That's really embarrassing. Don't worry, I'll have someone get your things back for you. I'll also find a way to get you a new boat."
Li Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although it is said that the only future for young people is to go to jail, it is best not to go to jail if possible. Garp didn't know why he believed his words so easily, so there was nothing to worry about.
Anyway, all he killed were pirates and he never harmed civilians.
"No, it's my fault after all. Just send me to a place with a doctor. I didn't intend to keep the pirate ship."
It's a lie to say that he doesn't want to stay. Li Ke just doesn't want to get too close to Garp. Although building a relationship with him can bring a lot of convenience, they are destined to be strangers and cannot coexist peacefully forever.
Instead of being unable to take action due to emotional entanglement at that time, it is better not to establish too many relationships from the beginning, just this kind of awkward relationship is enough.
"Really? Then let my ship's doctor treat you. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the medical expenses. You can just rest and recover."
Garp saw that Li Ke was a little cold, so he no longer wanted to talk, because Li Ke gave him a weird feeling. There was no malice or goodwill toward him, no anger at myself for accidentally hurting him, and no guilt at all, as if nothing mattered in front of what the other person wanted to do.
It is difficult for him to get along with such a person. Since the other person does not have too many demands and he does not feel that he is lying or malicious, that is enough.
Li Ke was also happy that the other party was like this. He didn't dare to really rest or replenish food and water on the pirate ship. This was also the reason why his injury never improved, so he closed his eyes after hearing Garp's words. No. To think so much.
At this time, the ship's doctor had also arrived and directed the navy to start treating Li Ke's wounds. Garp's adjutant followed him and found that Li Ke's injuries were indeed not new today, and asked about Li Ke's experience in the past few days. Then left.
Since he wasn't lying and Lieutenant General Garp didn't find anything wrong, he could just wait until he left Windmill Village and leave it to Smoker to deal with it, and he didn't have to worry too much.
So he ordered people to salvage the treasures on the pirate ship. After all, if Li Ke didn't lie, there should be a lot of stolen money on the pirate ship, or rather.
Li Ke's trophies.
And when Li Ke got on the navy ship, Miss Nami, who was driving her own boat and chasing Li Ke until she was half dead, looked at the navy salvaging treasures from the wreckage in astonishment, feeling almost the grievance and anger in her heart. Unable to suppress it.
The thing she had been looking for for so long was just taken away by the navy!
"Damn pirate! Can't you hold on longer?! I've been waiting for nothing! That's my money!" At this time, the ship's doctor had also arrived, directing the navy to start treating Li Ke's wounds, and Garp's The adjutant followed and found that Li Ke's injury was indeed not a new wound today. He asked Li Ke about his experience in the past few days before leaving.
