The town of Campas is not small, and there are many more villages and towns on the island, but they are not along the coast.
Of course, pirates rob along the coast, but if they go deep into the area, they will be surrounded.
Water, food, salt, wooden boards and nails for maintenance, whatever the pirates could grab were all loaded into barrels and boxes and taken back to the ship by the pirates.
As for Sager and these civilians, they were living in peace.
How much stuff can a ship carry?
Even if the town is destroyed, it can be taken out easily.
As for why the civilians don't care at all, firstly, they have been destroyed by pirates, and secondly, since the pirates saved their people, isn't it only natural for them to give them something to express their gratitude?
The mayor looked at the almost falling apart ship docked at the port and said, "Captain, although we can't take out anything valuable right now, we can still take out a ship."
"Old man, I'm robbing!"
Sager's eyes twitched. "Please don't insult the profession of pirates, okay? No matter what, I am dedicated to my job!"
Is it unprofessional to be unlucky? !
"I will grab what I want myself and hand over the ship." Sager shook the flintlock in his hand.
No one else can give it to him.
You can grab it yourself!
"As for the ship, we have to wait for other cargo ships to come back so that we can have extra ships. We don't have any now." The mayor shook his head and said, "But if you wait for a while."
"captain!!"
A pirate shouted from the port and quickly ran over, panting and pointing at the sea. "Military, warships! The navy is coming!"
boom!!
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several shells flying over from the sea in the distance and hitting the ship accurately.
The already damaged ship was like the last straw that broke the camel's back at this moment. The mast and wood chips flew everywhere, and the main body was broken into two parts, becoming part of the wreckage on the sea surface of the port.
Under the aftermath of the explosion, the pirates who remained on the ship jumped into the sea and quickly reached the port.
"My ship!"
Sager stared with eyes wide open, watching the ship sink without reacting at all.
The ship he just robbed!
It's gone now?
The warship sailed directly past the wreckage and docked at the port. A group of navy men jumped out of it and came roaring over.
"This is the 23rd Marine Branch. I'm a major from the Marine Branch. Pirates, you are under arrest!"
The first navy soldier who rushed out yelled and quickly chopped down a fleeing pirate. The two navy soldiers behind him then surrounded him and pointed their guns at the pirate.
"Captain Sager, what should we do!" Ajin asked, bending his body slightly and holding the crutch tightly.
"How?"
Bang, bang, bang!
Bullets whizzed past, some of them hit the pirates and knocked them down.
Several of the bullets flew towards Sag, passing close to his body. One of the bullets was about to hit him, but he raised his arm and pinched two fingers to catch a round bullet.
The bullets landed with a light sound. Sager looked at the attacking navy and sneered, "I have lost my ship, so I will rob the warship and use it as a boat! Guys, fight back!"
"oh!!"
The captain gave an order, and the pirates around him shouted and rushed towards the navy.
In terms of numbers, the pirates are definitely not at an advantage. The number of navy troops coming down is at least twice that of the pirates. In terms of combat power, ordinary pirates and navy troops are about the same, or even slightly inferior.
But from the perspective of the elites, the navy does not have an advantage, because the pirates who have a bounty are not simple.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of bullets rang out again, but they hit a shield.
Palu struck the large round shield in front, letting the bullets hit it, creating sparks.
He simply stretched out his five fingers and threw out fireflies, which ignited a ball of fire on the ground and prevented the navy from chasing the remaining pirates.
"I am the invincible iron wall Palu. I can even withstand your cannons. How about being invincible and handsome? I am experienced, right?" Palu smiled sideways, revealing his reflective teeth.
The shield on his back was smashed by Ajin and he had no time to repair it, but the shield on the front was still usable and was more than enough to block bullets.
Whoosh!
A figure rushed past Palu like a cheetah, and Ajin swooped down towards the sailors. The iron ball on his cane plowed a trail on the ground, and suddenly lifted it up when approaching the sailors.
Bang!!
The ground broke apart with tremendous force, knocking away the leading naval forces.
Ajin stood up, turned the crutch in his hand into a circle, and with the sound of the wind, he carried it on his shoulder, looking at the remaining navy with a smile on his face.
But before he could say anything, a
silver light flashed from his side, forming a 'Z' shape and quickly moved to the center of the navy.
That's Lily.
"Breaking the air."
She performed a sword dance, swung the rapier to her side, and then slowly put it back into the scabbard. The navy around her seemed to be still, waiting for Lily to retract the rapier.
Click.
"cut."
laugh!!
As the rapier was quietly sheathed, blood suddenly spurted out from the bodies of the navy soldiers, and they fell down with their eyes rolled back.
"Charge!!"
The morale of the pirates increased greatly upon seeing this. Those pirates who were originally fleeing became excited and began to fight with the remaining navy, waving their weapons.
Swords clashed, gunshots rang out, flames burned, and Sager walked slowly among the crowd, his cloak fluttering in the wind. With every step forward, the pirates pushed the navy forward a little, until they reached the port and all the navy fell.
Under the attack of the three men, these navy men were no match at all.
"You and I are a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy! I will not retreat!"
The remaining branch major's hands were shaking as he held the flintlock rifle. He aimed at Sager but was hesitant to pull the trigger.
Sager glanced at him, but didn't do anything, just watched quietly.
"I, I"
Under Sager's gaze, the major refused to pull the trigger.
Sager smiled slightly, followed the stairs lowered by the warship, and slowly stepped into the warship.
"Young ones."
He turned his back to the crowd and said, "Load the cargo, we are setting sail!"
The lieutenant commander finally put down his flintlock rifle. He couldn't fall down. He still had to take care of the fallen naval wounded. He could only say harshly: "The navy will not let you go!"
Sager smiled softly, shook his head and said nothing.
It seemed as if the navy would let him go if he didn't rob the warships.
As a pirate, isn't it natural for the navy to attack you?
There is no such thing as peaceful coexistence.
The pirates loaded the goods looted from Campas Town onto the ship, set sail directly from the port to the sea.
This warship is a typical patrol ship, which can carry up to eighty people. It is not large in size, but it is definitely better than a broken ship.
There are cannons on top.
Sager sat happily in the captain's room and opened a bottle of rum.
In terms of supplies, the things carried by the warships are also very good, after all, they are for the needs of the navy.
Not only did he now drink, he also found cigarettes in the captain's room.
After taking a few gulps of wine, Sager lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and then exhaled the smoke slowly.
"call"
He even felt like crying.
It's not easy!
He has not dared to think about being able to drink and smoke so peacefully in the past few years. He has been busy every day for starting a business. He can't say that he is penniless, but at least he is worried about food.
Anyway, it's right in between being hungry and being full, half full.
Otherwise, why would he have robbed the bandits of their wine in Oikot?
Sager picked up a cup and said to Lily, who was collecting nautical charts and other information in the captain's room, "You want a drink. Oh, no, you are underage, you can't drink."
Lily looked up the information and asked without looking up, "Sager, what should we do next?"
She didn't think there was anything wrong with robbing warships. Isn't that what pirates do?
Besides, they themselves had committed serious crimes and didn't care about offending the navy any further.
It would be better to offer a higher reward, which would also give Sager a nomination.
"Keep grabbing."
Sager held a cigarette in his mouth, leaned back in his chair comfortably, and said, "What's the use of just eating and drinking? I still haven't gotten any money. If I can't rob in one town, I'll go to another town. I'll always be able to rob money!"
Pirates don't just want to eat and drink, they go to sea to make a fortune. Even if they are looking for Onepiece, isn't it also to get the treasure of the Pirate King and become rich overnight?
Although his subordinates are now desperate criminals, some of them have families.
If they weren't too poor, who would be willing to go out to sea?
Sager needs money for his dream, and pirates also need money, so they must rob.
It's no use just making big promises if you don't pay your employees.
