The gourmet among pirates

"Idiot, the gunner has already followed the captain to the opposite ship and fired back!"

"Then what do we do?"

boom!

Within a few words, another cannonball landed on the pirate ship.

And the position of this cannonball, by coincidence, hit the lower deck of the pirate ship, which was in contact with the sea.

There was a "bang" and wood chips flew into the air.

The turbulent seawater poured directly into the pirate ship along the holes made by the cannonballs.

"No, it's leaking. The boat is leaking. The boat is going to sink. Everyone, run away."

······

The few pirates who were still on the pirate ship at this time wished their parents would give them a few more legs.

One by one, they panicked and climbed towards the merchant ship, following the hook that hooked the merchant ship on the opposite side.

But under the shock of the shelling, the hook lock is not so easy to climb.

Of the four or five pirates who were lucky enough to climb onto the hook lock, none of them climbed onto the merchant ship.

Either due to the violent shaking, he could not grasp the hook and was thrown directly into the sea, or the hook fell off and fell into the sea.

Amidst the constant roaring of cannons, Mo Lin and others confirmed that the pirate ship had become silent and that several of its cannons were half-destroyed. Then he cautiously moved in a direction and approached the merchant ship from the other side.

When it was more than 20 meters away from the merchant ship.

Mo Lin ordered to stop moving forward and let the soldiers on the warship shoot at the pirates on the opposite deck from a distance of twenty meters.

It is a pity that after several rounds of volleys, except for a few talented navy or lucky soldiers.

The navy's good marksmanship only knocked down a few pirates on the opposite side.

More pirates hid behind bunkers to avoid the navy's shooting.

Chapter 11 Maureen’s Psychology

Looking at the pirates on the opposite side, they all hid in their bunkers.

In order to avoid the deaths and injuries of passengers on the opposite merchant ship.

On Mo Lin's side, he asked his men to pick up a loudspeaker and shout to the other side to ask the pirates to surrender.

······

Ok.

There is something strange about this world.

Most of the time, the navy received orders to capture pirates alive and then bring them back for trial.

And even if there is a trial, most of the time, they will not be sentenced to death, but will be sent to prisons all over the world, or to Impel Down City.

I don’t know why, but the World Government seems to be surprisingly tolerant of pirates.

Perhaps the original purpose of the World Government was to curb the growth of pirates by publicly trying them and clarifying their punishments.

But over time, this changed.

In the eyes of more civilians, the World Government is too kind to pirates.

Pirates often have this kind of thought in mind.

[After burning, killing and looting, they were caught by the navy and put in jail at most. They couldn't die anyway, so they had nothing to fear. 】

To a certain extent, because of this law, it has encouraged many unhealthy tendencies and given pirates the soil to breed darkness.

······

In general.

After the pirates are surrounded by the navy, they have a high probability of surrendering.

But the pirates in front of Mo Lin didn't know whether they looked down on a small navy patrol boat, or because they were on a merchant ship and had natural hostages.

None of this group of pirates chose to surrender, but instead screamed at the Wanderer warship.

"Asshole navy, you actually dare to sink my ship, just wait for me, I will definitely make you bastards pay the price."

"Surrender, I won't surrender. Idiot navy, please let us go if you want. Otherwise, every one of the people on this merchant ship will be buried with our brothers."

"Yes, yes, if you don't get out of the way, we will kill the hostages."

"..."

Looking at the crazily shouting pirates opposite, Mo Lin rubbed his temples and said with a headache: "Have you met another group of self-righteous illiterate idiots?"

"Come on, Sergeant Buddy, give our illiterate pirates a good year. Here are some countermeasures for our navy to deal with when pirates hijack merchant ships."

Sergeant Buddy took the microphone from his subordinate, glanced at Molin with complicated eyes, then turned around and shouted:

“According to the Navy’s Emergency Regulations No. 173, when pirates kidnap world government officials, or join the ranks of kings and nobles, all efforts should be made to rescue them; when pirates kidnap civilians from a joined country, rescue efforts will be made depending on the situation; When pirates kidnap members of non-member countries, there is no obligation to rescue them. In the spirit of humanitarianism, the pirates can be killed directly."

Watching Sergeant Buddy finish his roar, the merchant ship suddenly became silent.

Mo Lin sneered and said: "Pirate idiots, you are not so illiterate that you cannot understand these sentences! If so, I can tell you mercifully."

"The meaning of this code is that these hostages in your hands are of no use to us. If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself whether this merchant ship has the logo of a World Government member country, and whether they are World Government Members of the affiliated countries.”

After Mo Lin finished speaking, there was an uproar on the merchant ship opposite.

The children who originally planned to take hostages and then threaten the navy to let them leave never expected that there would be such a rule in the navy.

And those merchant ship passengers who thought they would be rescued after the navy arrived started crying in pessimism.

Because their merchant ship is just a passing merchant ship, and the country to which the merchant ship belongs is indeed not a member of the World Government.

The laws and regulations of the Navy were not made up on the fly by Sergeant Buddy.

But it is a provision that does exist in the Naval Code.

From this provision, we can fully see the differential treatment of the World Government. They do not take the lives of members of non-World Government member countries at heart.

However, although this provision has always been engraved in the navy's code, few navy would take the initiative to say it out.

Because I don’t agree.

Few navy members wearing the cloak of justice agree with this rule.

Because of this, when Morin asked Sergeant Buddy to read out this rule, he looked at Morin with such complicated eyes.

Behind Sergeant Buddy, Molin also curled his lips.

[You idiot, why are you looking at me like this? In order to get an ex-girlfriend, I had studied psychology on my own. 】

[Now the more we show the importance to the hostages, the more arrogant the pirates will become. Not only will they not be able to save the hostages at that time, the casualties of the hostages will be more serious. 】

After complaining about Sergeant Buddy in my heart.

Mo Lin took advantage of the unstable morale of the pirates and quickly shouted louder:

"The artillerymen obeyed the order, adjusted the muzzle, loaded ammunition, and prepared to fire."

After Mo Lin gave the order, the pirates on the opposite side panicked, but the naval soldiers in his hands also became commotion.

The artillery squad leader trotted up to Molin and whispered: "Ah! Sir, are we going to fire at the merchant ship? But..."

Looking at the artillery squad leader who was also stubborn and had not turned around, Molin angrily kicked him in the butt, and then whispered quickly in his ear:

"Are you an idiot? Haven't you seen that all the people gathered on the deck of the merchant ship are pirates? Can't you let the artillerymen point their guns, aim at the deck, and fire at those pirates? At such a close distance, don't tell me, Your artillery can still miss."

Under the multiple signals from Molin's eyes, words, and body language, the artillery squad leader was finally not so stupid that he couldn't be saved.

After understanding what Molin meant, he secretly gave Molin an OK gesture, and then led the artillery team members to adjust the muzzle and quickly load ammunition.

······

After seeing the navy on the Wanderer, they really started to reload their ammunition.

The pirates hiding behind the bunker on the merchant ship really started to panic.

The first mate of the Shadow Pirates secretly moved to Captain Mitos and said anxiously:

"Captain, those naughty navy crews are really going to open fire. What should we do? Run away? Just now I saw three emergency rescue boats hanging on the side of the merchant ship. If we escape in the boats, it will be so late at night. Yes, the navy on the opposite side may not be able to catch us."

Mitos couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this, but when he thought of his own action this time.

The Fat Sheep Merchant Ship failed to grab it, but was blocked by a group of navy who appeared out of nowhere.

Not only had the pirate ship he had worked so hard to rob been sunk, his men also suffered heavy casualties, and even his own life was in danger.

He was extremely unwilling to accept this.

Chapter 12 Night Chase

"Damn Navy, if it weren't for these damn guys, I, Uncle Mitos, would be lying on the big bed paved with treasures, enjoying those beautiful women. Damn it!"

His 'Shadow Blade' Mitos' plan was not to make a final decision and then act later.

The reason why he was able to accurately touch the channel of the merchant ships of the Lyon Chamber of Commerce and block them in advance this time was entirely because he had spent a lot of money to bribe a steward of the Lyon Chamber of Commerce and found out the channel of the merchant ships.

Originally, after this time, he would be able to make a huge fortune and live a comfortable life for a year or two relying on the wealth plundered from merchant ships.

You can even recruit troops to expand the strength of the pirate group.

But now, just because the navy appeared out of nowhere, all his plans were disrupted and everything he had was ruined.

No one knows how much the 'Shadow Blade' Mitos wants to transform into one of those powerful pirates with bounties worth tens of millions.

One person swept away all the marines on the opposite warship.

But he is not strong enough!

The reason why he, 'Shadowblade' Mitos, became a criminal with a bounty of three million beli on his head was due to his habit of sleeping around the clock and being out at night, as well as his insidious ability to bribe his informants and make plans before taking action. Poison plan.

But in fact, the martial arts of his 'Shadow Blade' Mitos is not outstanding. At most, he can only compete with the pirates with a bounty of millions, 50-50.

Although it is considered good, it is not ridiculously strong.

This also made him dare not attack the navy head-on.

However, although Mo Lin's psychological oppression was effective, there was obviously something missing in trying to get a pirate blinded by greed to surrender.

"Hmph, I don't know much about the navy's laws because I don't have enough education, but I don't believe that your navy can really remain indifferent even after I killed everyone on this merchant ship."

'Shadow Blade' Mitos' eyes were filled with a fierce look. He was about to sneak into the cabin again, chop down the door blocking them, and use the lives of the people on the merchant ship to play a game with Mo Lin.

"boom!"

A specially adjusted cannonball passed twenty centimeters in front of Mitos, the 'Shadow Blade'. The hot and pungent smell of gunpowder hit Mitos's nose.

With a loud bang, the cannonball directly blew up a group of wooden boxes piled on the deck, and blew the three pirates hiding behind the boxes into pieces.

It seemed like he was going to die.

On the side of Mitos's face, a piece of wooden thorn was blown away, and a small blood line was drawn.

This nearly hit Mitos with a shocking shot, frightening Mitos into shaking, and directly shattered all the thoughts of resistance that had just arisen in Mitos's heart.

He ducked his head and returned directly to where he had been hiding. He whispered to the first mate beside him, "Let's go. Where is the emergency lifeboat you saw just now? Take a few trusted people with you and let's leave quickly."

The first mate of the Shadow Pirates, who looked fierce just now and wanted to show off the captain to the navy, suddenly became speechless.

But he didn't say much.

Isn't it human nature to be afraid of death?

If Mitos was really determined to attack the navy directly, the Shadow Pirates wouldn't always be working day and night.

······

Not long after, 'Shadow Blade' Mitos, along with several of his confidants from the Shadow Pirates, and the first mate cut the boat's sling rope, fell into the sea, and planned to escape in the dark.

On the same merchant ship, how could the activities of ‘Shadow Blade’ Mitos be hidden from the pirates on the same ship.

As soon as ‘Shadow Blade’ Mitos ran away, he was immediately discovered by other members of the pirate group.

Faced with the siege of the navy, his boss fled with his confidants and sold them to the navy instead.

This kind of betrayal has had an extremely serious impact on morale since ancient times.
