Chapter 194: Pirate Invasion
Chapter 194: Pirate Invasion
After breakfast and being bored, Yamos decided to go for some training.A few years ago, because he was too busy and had the burden of developing his fruitful abilities, he regarded training as his instinct and did not train for a long time. Later, he underwent reconstructive surgery and was in seclusion for more than half a year, and he did not train much after that.
Luo and Hawkins are not interested. They are not as paranoid about combat effectiveness as Yamos and Dorat.The personalities of these two people are destined to make it impossible for them to sweat on the training ground for ten years.Of course, this aspect also requires talent. Even if Luo and Hawkins don't work as hard as Amos, their final achievements will be impressive.
"Do you still remember the weekly skills assessment before? It was a nightmare." On the way to find a suitable training location, Yamos and Dolat recalled their three years in the naval academy.
"Nightmare" Dolat now just wants to smile and say nothing, "Unfortunately, I have never failed to score full marks in any subject in my assessment."
"If you don't continue to be tortured by me, you will find teeth all over the floor." Yamos seemed to have deliberately dug a hole for Dorat, and with one sentence, Dorat was speechless.
Dorat's current strength is indeed lower than Biamos, but his growth rate is also very fast. At the age of 30, he is already on par with Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, and it is very likely that he will become a great swordsman before the age of 35. Kyou Zefa became a general at the age of 38, and Kizaru entered the naval academy at the age of 26. Let me give you a comparative example.
If Amos hadn't eaten the Devil Fruit and had his body transformed, Patima wouldn't be able to keep up with Dorat's progress.
"If I hadn't bothered to eat devil fruits, beating you would have been like a joke." Dorat didn't express his dissatisfaction this time and tried to compete. Firstly, the purpose of Yamos coming here was to recover from his injuries, and secondly, beating you would be in vain. beat.
"Why don't you eat the devil fruit?" Lazein asked.
"Hawkeye, the greatest swordsman in the world today, is not a Devil Fruit user. If I eat a Devil Fruit and defeat him in the future, others will not say that I rely on Devil Fruits instead of swordsmanship. I won't do that." Latte is a proud and arrogant person who is obsessed with certain things.
This kind of obsession is possessed by many famous big shots. Perhaps this is one of the prerequisites for becoming a big shot.
"When are you going to challenge Hawkeye's position?" Yamos also asked.
"Well, ten or twenty years from now." Dolat thought before replying, "If he is still the world's greatest swordsman at that time."
At his age, he will probably reach his peak in ten or twenty years.It seems that Dolat has a clear understanding of himself and Hawkeye. He will not brag that he can defeat Hawkeye in a few years, but rather views his peak period as the most likely to challenge Hawkeye. When the eye succeeds.
While chatting, the three of them left the town.The Kingdom of Solas is so big in total. If you leave this town, you are basically outside the boundaries of Solas.We walked deeper and reached the other end of the island, which was a small Gobi desert.
"Ah, there aren't any good training tools. I feel like those tools from the naval school are just like toys." Dorat looked at the Gobi Desert with his hands on his hips.
"It's just a good place for a fight." Yamos commented, then turned to look at Lezein, "If you want to improve your strength, you can't just train blindly, you also need to practice, and learn more valuable experience in the battle. Combining actual combat experience Only through theory can people make rapid progress. This is what our teacher Zefa, the former admiral of the navy, said. I think it makes sense, so either Dolat and I won't practice today, and we will just compete with you and you can learn from it. Fighting skills.”
"Okay." Laize had no objection. He was eager to seize every opportunity to become stronger.
Yamos pulled out Qinggui and stood on the opposite side of Lezein: "We will not hold back, but we will reduce the frequency of attacks. How can we withstand the first three rounds of the fight? How can we slowly increase it? If you can't hold it any longer, just say it and gain some insights from it, and you will see some improvement."
"Three rounds, you don't take me seriously enough." Laizein said.
"You're the only one with a tough mouth, so I'll go first and see if you can withstand five rounds." Dolat impatiently took the lead.
Yamos held Qinggui on the side and watched the battle.
It was noon in a flash.Several hours of high-intensity combat training made Laizein exhausted to the point of collapse, but Dolat had no effect on him, so he simply carried Laizein back on his back.
Yamos didn't take many shots in the morning, but he also put considerable pressure on Lezein.Lezeyin was completely wilted, and the arrogance he was used to wearing the Amos mask eight years ago was completely lost today.
After the few people returned to the hotel, it was already meal time. Luo and Hawkins were eating. The three of them went upstairs to take a shower and change into clean clothes, and then came down to eat with the two of them.
"What have you been busy with this morning?" Dolat asked Luo.
"I walked around the city with Hawkins and got to know the local customs." Luo responded lightly. At the same time, he glanced at Lezein and raised his chin at him, "What's wrong with that kid who looks like he's exhausted?"
"Don't mention it." Dorat said with a smile, "We couldn't find a suitable training venue, so Yamos and I simply trained Lezein together. I beat him hundreds of times in the morning, hahahaha."
For the first time, Laize felt that Dolat's laughter was noisy.
"Do you still remember the patron saint of the island?" Hawkins also started chatting. "Luo and I saw their garrison this morning. The standards are very high, comparable to those of the royal palace. But their garrison is also a forbidden area. Just watch from afar, don’t set foot.”
"It's normal to live a better life. If my brother and I live and die for them, we should live a better life." Yamos didn't think there was anything wrong with this. "I think the residents here probably think so too. Yes. If they weren’t convinced that the Ward Pirates’ life was better than theirs, they would have gone into battle on their own to resist the pirate invasion.”
"Well, it just feels a little bit wrong." Hawkins agreed with Yamos's words, but expressed a little doubt of his own.
However, when he said the second half of the sentence, Luo asked Yamos when he would set sail. Yamos answered Luo's question, ignoring the second half of Hawkins's sentence, "The day after tomorrow, I think this injury will It’s not a big deal, I think Rommel will be completely healed by the time we get there.”
After dinner, take a lunch break.
Lunch break is a necessary item for them, or Rock Shriver, Drake and his gang. Since the naval school training required a balance of work and rest, Amos has been accustomed to lunch break and has treated this glorious tradition like smoking and drinking. Infected everyone.
In the afternoon, Laize was unable to train anymore, so everyone decided to go to the pub for another drink, come back, have dinner and sleep, and set off early tomorrow.
In the tavern, Yamos also drank a little bit. They drank and chatted freely, and also found out a lot of interesting things from other drinkers. The afternoon passed quickly like this.
At the same time, there were three pirate ships floating off the coast of Green Island. In the pirate flagship, the pirate captain named Bink was talking to Ward at the Ward Pirates' station in Solas City.
"We have reached the offshore position, when will we launch an attack?" Bink asked.
He was Ward's most capable general and once offered a bounty of 5000 million berries. Later Ward chose to take root in Green Island and began to act as the patron saint of the Solas Kingdom, so he spent a lot of effort to create a scapegoat for Bink. His reward list has been cancelled.From then on, Bink hid in the dark, often disguising himself as various pirates and invading the Solas Kingdom. The brave Ward defeated them and built up the people's support.
"The troops on the island have all been separated. They are no match for us. It will be easier to defeat them one by one now." Ward said slowly.
"Then let's set off" Bink asked.
"Well." Ward, who was leisurely in the resident palace, was wearing carefully selected clothes in front of the mirror, and one of his subordinates was holding the phone bug for him. "But remember, the most important thing is to plunder the wealth after landing on the island. , but don’t make too much of a fuss and kill everyone in the town.”
A cold look flashed across Bink's face: "Yes."
The afterglow of the setting sun shone down, the sea was dyed into a golden ocean, and the earth seemed to be covered with gold.The boatman on the dock showed a tired smile when he was illuminated by the warm sunshine.
Soon the sun will set and the day's work will be over.Although the work is hard, peace in the Solas Kingdom is rare. They are willing to live an ordinary life in a peaceful place. This is not the happy life in their hearts.
But soon, the boatman's tired smile faded.
Three ships came from a distance. The boatman was slow to react because of the long peace. When the ships got closer, he dropped the hemp rope in his hand and jumped from the deck and wooden board to the pier in three steps. He roared while running: "The pirates are coming, the pirates are coming"
He was not the only one who was also slow to respond for too long, but also other staff members.It took more than ten seconds after these words were shouted before people began to flee one after another.
The escort team responsible for the security of the dock and possible pirate invasion were gathered in a hurry at this time.The three patrol teams, after excluding all kinds of people who asked for leave and were lazy, actually numbered five people.Holding muskets in their hands that had not heard much sound for a year, the five of them stood side by side and watched the pirates approach with fear.
"I'm going to call for backup," one soldier said.
As soon as he finished speaking, there were four more "I'll go too" sounds.
Then the five people dispersed one after another like frightened birds.Within a few minutes, not even a single person could be seen on the huge pier.
The pirates did not encounter any resistance. Three pirate ships docked at the pier, and one even violently knocked another small merchant ship away, occupying the berth belonging to that merchant ship.
Hundreds of pirates swarmed down, and each one looked extremely fierce, as if they had released three cages of beasts.
Bink just carried a firecracker on his waist that was more decorative than practical, and a long sword that was more commanding than practical. He walked at the front of the team and looked around: "Leave a team of people to search the dock, and at the same time block the Stop their escape. The rest of the people follow me and fight into the city. Listen to me and try to kill as few people as possible. Our purpose of this trip is to plunder money. If anyone disobeys the order, there will be consequences."
Among pirates, the rules set by the captain are generally followed by the crew.Because they are all people who live on the edge of a knife, the internal rules are often more cruel and harsh.Only in this way can a group of desperadoes be suppressed.
After Bink finished speaking about the precautions, he waved his hand and shouted loudly, and hundreds of pirates spread out and infiltrated into Solas City.
Soon, screams and wailings could be heard one after another, and a town fell from heaven to hell in the blink of an eye.
Wherever the pirates passed, they were as miserable as locusts passing through.Most of them obeyed the orders and mainly searched for money. They could only laugh and look at the women who were running away wildly, but did not pursue them.
If someone couldn't hold it back and was seen by Bink ravaging a woman here, the only outcome would be death.
The owner of the hotel is conscientious and reluctant to pay more to hire others to do the work. Now that the child has just come home, he is still cleaning the house enthusiastically.Not long after, people on the street in front of the hotel fled like a wave, and there were also sounds of "Pirates are coming" among them.The boss's face changed drastically, he threw away the rag in his hand, rushed upstairs, and rushed down again less than 20 seconds later. This time he was carrying a box in his hand, which contained his money.
"Yuniero" the boss called his child. After the child came out, he grabbed the child and fled in the other direction with the escape team.
"Dad, what happened?" Yugnero looked horrified.
"The pirates are coming," the boss said in fear.
The fear on Yugnero's face immediately disappeared: "We don't have to be afraid because the Ward Pirates are here."
The boss seemed not to hear his son's words, but still held Yugnero's hand tightly and ran away with him.
in the tavern
"The pirates are coming, the pirates are coming, run!"
A bartender opened the door of the tavern, and the scene outside came into the eyes of the drinkers in the tavern.On the street outside, people were running frantically.
Immediately, the drinkers at each table stood up one after another, ran out of the door and ran in different directions without paying any attention.
The table in the tavern was accidentally knocked over by the fleeing drinkers, the wine bottles smashed on the ground, and the tavern became a mess.The boss didn't care about the wine money, and waved his hand vigorously to greet the bartenders: "Come with me to the wine cellar to move the wine."
The wine in the wine cellar is the lifeblood of the boss.Pirates are very interested in wine. If he doesn't take away these fundamentals of himself, he will definitely fall into the hands of pirates.
The young bartenders had never seen such a battle before, let alone helping the boss carry drinks. Their legs were already starting to weaken without even seeing the pirate.
There was a gunshot in the distance, and several people were so excited that they fled with the large team as if they had not heard the boss's voice.
"Fuck" the boss cursed loudly, opened the cabinet on the counter, stuffed the money inside into his pocket, and when he had almost stuffed it, he didn't care about the wine and started running for his life.
"Oh my God." Dorat sat there steadily, after witnessing the crazy scene that happened in less than a minute, he quickly took a sip of wine to calm down, "It's terrible."
Luo snorted, used Roo Slaughterhouse to transfer a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, and poured himself a small half glass: "What should we do?"
"Sit down." Yamos burped, his face slightly red, "Don't you have some kind of patron saint? Just wait and watch the show."
