"But to test you, I need to know what your strength is, so come with me. I want to see if you have the ability to cooperate with me."
Now that parenting has been set up, it is natural to take the next step. Nami thought about the pirate groups she had seen. Although no one would cooperate with her, her face still showed confidence. Another arrogant smile.
"no problem."
Li Ke looked at her face and knew what kind of conspiracy this woman was playing, but after touching his money bag, he nodded and agreed to the other party's request.
So, Li Ke, who followed the short-haired woman, followed her to a group of pirates who were drinking and eating meat. These pirates were all armed with swords, but they had no intention of doing evil here. There is no leader among them, they are just some undistinguished fish.
After the short-haired woman walked over, she rudely picked up an unopened bottle of wine, opened it directly under the murderous eyes of the pirates, and then drank most of the bottle in one gulp.
Then she wiped the drink from the corner of her mouth and asked a pirate with better clothes.
"Hey, bastards, where is your captain? When business comes to your door, you don't come out to greet him. Are you being too lazy?"
The pirate she asked about was indeed a leader. He looked at this woman he had never seen before, her beautiful figure, and Li Ke behind him with some surprise, and his eyes narrowed.
"What do you have to do with our captain?"
He didn't know this woman at all, so he wouldn't believe her words, so he quietly touched the weapon next to him, and some clever boys also walked to the entrance of the alley, looking at this with a sinister smile. To men and women who don’t know whether to live or die.
They were on guard to prevent them from fighting when the navy came, which would have jumped in Smoker's face. Li Ke looked at their positions, and they vaguely occupied all the escape routes. It was obvious that these pirates were not good people.
But the short-haired woman in front of him didn't seem to see it, and instead smiled even brighter.
"Business, big business, or are you saying that your captain has lost his courage?"
The leader sneered.
"Even if it's a big business, it still depends on whether you have the ability!"
After he finished speaking, he grabbed the short-haired woman's breasts. It was obvious that he also liked her figure. But the lady with short hair jumped directly to Li Ke's side with a chic back jump and patted him on the shoulder.
"The time has come to show your worth, but don't kill anyone."
After saying that, she stood still, and her words naturally made the leader look at Li Ke. Li Ke sighed slightly. The pirates in this world are worthy of being pirates. The guys at the bottom look much more cruel than the pirate leaders.
"You're using me as a gunsmith, right?"
He stretched out his hand and punched the charging leader in the middle of the chest and abdomen, at the diaphragm. After training his own strength, and a little bit of training to control and gain strength, Li Ke's control of strength finally became normal.
If it were before, he would undoubtedly break the opponent's spine with his huge power, but now he can avoid this.
The leading pirate fell to his knees directly. The intense pain and nausea made him unable to breathe. He even wanted to vomit, and he lost all his fighting power.
The remaining pirates immediately pulled out their weapons. A few grabbed the leader's body and rushed back, but the rest rushed towards Li Ke.
There were three sounds from behind. Was the knife coming soon?
The reason why Li Ke's five senses and intuition had declined was that he couldn't 'see' everything around him without paying attention like before, but his ears still allowed him to hear the sound of 'wind'.
He quickly turned around to avoid it, but something went wrong as expected. A pirate who used his sword very discreetly slashed his cloak, revealing his shirt that had become quite tattered due to the intense exercise.
"Sensory training still needs to be strengthened."
A whip kick kicked away the pirate who had scratched his cloak. Li Ke saw the arrival of another knife from the corner of his eye. His current body was not as strong as steel, so he dodged it again and punched Hit the opponent's head.
And at the moment when he punched, the knowledge of Shiranui-ryu in the King of Fighters world that he had heard of before but never thought of again appeared in his mind, making him understand the shortcomings of this punch.
"This punch can be faster. There is a problem with the angle, and it can also be used to step forward and attack another enemy."
With the power of many gods, the power and skills that he once didn't care about are being rapidly absorbed by him, and the awareness of fighting is also constantly increasing due to the real fighting process.
But unfortunately, his opponents were just a group of trash fish. Even if he deliberately slowed down and did not use weapons, these trash fish were quickly killed by him.
But he was still unsatisfied, feeling that if there were more of these miscellaneous fish, his fighting ability could be improved.
After knocking down the last pirate who dared to attack him with one punch, she looked at the short-haired lady who was holding a big parasol like those often seen in canteens and frantically hitting several pirates who caught her attention. , Li Ke still sighed.
"You are indeed a pirate too, right?"
Even in this world, a woman who has the courage to enter this kind of dragon's den and face several big men without suffering any loss will not be a simple woman.
But who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, the short-haired woman's face immediately turned gloomy, and she even stepped hard on the middle of a pirate's legs.
"Who knows?"
After she finished speaking, she threw the cigarette she had never smoked in her mouth into the face of the person who was stepped on, and then planned to walk towards the pub.
But Li Ke heard something different. Even with his current five senses, as long as he tried hard to observe his surroundings, he could hear the breathing of several people at the door of the tavern.
After looking at the defenseless woman, Li Ke immediately grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back under her surprised gaze.
At this moment, two sharp sword lights appeared on the body of the woman who originally wanted to enter. If Li Ke hadn't noticed in advance that there was an ambush at the door, this woman would have been stabbed at least once in the shoulder, and her arm would have been directly stabbed. It's not impossible to cut it down.
The woman glanced at Li Ke subconsciously, and Li Ke, who had focused his senses since the beginning of the battle, heard her violent heartbeat.
This woman is definitely melancholy, but so is Li Ke.
Because he had great power before, he couldn't notice this because there was 'no threat'. Therefore, his five senses will not be concentrated, and naturally he will not be able to perceive more things.
"Are you just going to discuss business with me? But from the looks of it, it doesn't look like you are here to discuss business."
A pirate with a captain's hat on his head and an expensive-looking knife came out, looked at Li Ke and Nami, and asked with a sinister smile.
"But you are not a good partner. These people have no intention of letting me see you. So forget it. Since you are afraid of that fat sheep named Tony, you are too timid and you are not worthy of cooperating with us. ."
Nami walked over directly. Although her heart was beating wildly, fearing that the pirates in front of her would stab her, her face was quite calm, as if these vicious pirates were nothing at all.
"How dare you say that... I, Ken Kidd, am actually afraid of someone like Tony?"
There was a look of dissatisfaction in the eyes of the pirate captain Ken Kidd. He didn't like this. He had seen Tony's strength before, and they had about the same manpower as him. So if they really fought, they would win or lose. Hard to say.
But the problem is that in this business of piracy, you have to be ruthless and crazy. Without being ruthless or crazy, how can you make the subordinates believe that they can make a lot of money by following you? How can you win over capable subordinates? How can rebellion be prevented?
So even though he knew what he said would offend Tony, Ken Kidd said it anyway.
"I have been interested in that guy's head for a long time. I have wanted to chop it off and make a chamber pot, but I just can't find him... Anyway, stop farting. What are you here for?"
He sat on a wooden barrel dissatisfied, trying his best to make his aura as scary as possible, but his pirate flag with chicken wings really made Li Ke want to laugh, but he held it back, barely showing his face. gave a smile.
"Of course it's big business. Speaking of which, Captain Ken Kidd, your bounty is a total of 1.8 million. This is not a small amount of money."
Nami picked up an unopened bottle of rum from the ground, took a sip and handed it to Li Ke to relieve her embarrassment. Li Ke looked at her and then at the bottle but didn't drink it, he just held it for her.
She acted calmly, but what she said made the atmosphere tense again.
"What do you mean?"
"Literally, everyone wants 1.8 million Baileys, and since there is a bounty of 1.8 million Baileys, the treasure on the ship must exceed this number. In other words, as long as you have the ability to take it, For your head, you can get at least 3.6 million beli and a big ship."
The atmosphere became more and more tense because of her words, and even the captain in front of her was thinking about taking action again. But he couldn't lose face, so he stood up again and uttered threatening words.
"If you come to amuse me, even if you are a slave, you will not be as miserable as what you will encounter at my hands."
it's time.
Seeing that the pirate in front of her was angry because of saving face, she knew she had to close the net.
"Of course not, I mean, isn't Tony's reward also 1.8 million?"
Her words immediately relaxed the atmosphere at the scene.
"As long as you kill him, your bounty will be increased and you will be able to get a big ship. And as long as you are fast enough and the person behind me who is related to the navy pretends to be a bounty hunter, then the navy will not care. Yes, in this way, half of Tony’s bounty and treasure belongs to us, and the rest of the treasure, crew, weapons, etc. are all yours.”
This was her plan, a plan that the current Captain Ken Kidd couldn't refuse.
Li Ke's strength, the increase in bounty, a large ship, treasures, weapons, and crew members who have seen blood.
These are all chips. Especially with the increase in bounties, why is it that as a great pirate he can still walk on the sea with a bounty on his back? Of course, the more rewards he has, the more proof he is of his ability and ability, and the more money his younger brother can make by following him.
"What about Smoker?"
He looked at Li Ke, a fierce man who looked good at fighting but was actually very good at fighting. You must know that even he couldn't defeat these sentry boys so easily.
"Smog can't control bounty hunters. As I said before, we don't have bounty hunters with bounties on our heads. Don't worry, he will take the lead."
As she spoke, Nami took Li Ke's arm, hugged his arm, and after she finished speaking, she quietly patted Li Ke's arm to comfort her, signaling him to keep quiet.
"How can I trust you?"
Captain Ken Kidd was still a little worried, while Nami smiled confidently.
"We'll go first, you just have to follow."
She has nothing to worry about anymore, because everyone has fallen into the trap. Ken Kidd finally nodded. His heart was filled with greed for treasure and manpower, but his expression was quite calm.
"Okay, we will follow you, but don't try to play any tricks."
"certainly."
Nami said something to the captain again, and after confirming everything, she generously hugged Li Ke and walked towards the direction of the big pirate Tony, and after putting some distance between herself and the pirate who was quietly following behind, She put her head on Li Ke's arm as if she were on a date with a couple, and then spoke in a low voice.
"My goal is the financial reports of both of them. You just need to let them fight on their own and then find an opportunity to retreat. I will also support you."
Li Ke just smiled. This woman really had bad intentions.
"How can I trust you not to run away?"
Then Nami showed an aggrieved look.
"I'm already hugging you, but you still ask such a shameful question. Sure enough, one hundred thousand beli's hug money will be deducted from your share."
He smiled happily after hearing this answer that was very Nami-like in this story.
"Are your arms made of gold or silver? One hug only costs so much."
But Nami was confident.
"I am so beautiful, of course I am worth money, but don't think that I will deceive you. Pirates don't have too many treasures. These people are all people who enjoy themselves in time. They have been ashore for a while, even if they have money, it will be early It was spent on taverns and women, so our real goal is actually their bounty.”
"As long as everything goes well, when they fight, if you can beat them, we will get the money smoothly. If you can't beat them, I will notify the navy, and we will take the opportunity to get their treasures! Don't worry, you are so strong , I can’t run away, if it really doesn’t work, how about I compensate you for myself? It’s a free month, and it’s free of charge.”
But you still didn't say how I can avoid being betrayed by you, and no matter how tempting the beauty and treasure are, it's meaningless if they can't be cashed in.
Li Ke just smiled, then stopped in front of the tavern where Tony was hiding, and then squeezed Nami's gluteus maximus, which was not fully developed to its peak, under Nami's angry gaze.
"This is the interest. As long as you are honest, I won't take advantage of it after the matter is over. But if you run away... just pay the debt yourself."
He doesn't mind being cheated, because if he is cheated, he can get his capital back with interest! By the way, kill the black hand behind it.
And for such deceiving pirates and liars...
Before entering the tavern door with Captain Ken Kidd who followed him, Li Ke manually lowered his moral bottom line. But what happened next was beyond his expectation, because right in front of him, the two captains of the pirate ship hugged each other and called each other by name.
"elder brother!"
"younger brother!"
The corners of Li Ke's mouth twitched.
