Perhaps because the appearance was too shocking, the working slaves remained silent and just stared at Sager.
"There!"
Not far away, a group of armed guards ran towards them from the other end of the bridge.
Sager just took a glance, and kicked out a light blue slash with his legs, which passed through the bodies of the guards and blew out a gust of wind.
Hiss!
The guards froze, blood gushed out, and they fell down.
Bang!
A labor slave loosened his grip and the construction materials he was holding fell to the ground with a crash. Stones scattered on the bridge, and the noise brought everyone back to their senses.
One of the burly men said in disbelief: "You, are you here to save us?"
"save?"
Sager bared his teeth and smiled grimly: "As a pirate, you can be happy, you can be wanton, you can vent, but there is no salvation! I am not here to save you, I am here to take you to death!"
"If you follow me, you may die the next day and be buried in the sea. If you don't follow me, you will stay here forever!"
Sager stretched out his hand to them, "Choose! Repeat the endless labor here until death, or go to the sea and die with me!"
…
"Can Sager successfully recruit his men? They are a group of slaves. Slaves with a history of 700 years. Are they suitable to be pirates?"
On the black ship, Renetia sat cross-legged on the ground, checking the small tool hammer in her hand while asking.
The body of her small hammer was now disassembled, revealing the precision parts inside. The densely packed parts were enough to make people dizzy at a glance.
If someone who understands mechanics came to take a look, they would obviously find that the mechanical structure of the hammer cannot be activated at all. There is no other way except by a miracle.
Lily stood beside her, carefully wiping her rapier with a cloth. After hearing this, she paused, looked up at the huge bridge above, and said calmly:
"People have to rely on themselves. Only when they awaken themselves can they freely control their destiny. Sage brought opportunities, but these opportunities are not charity, but a choice. Those who always yearn for the sea and freedom need to be prepared to die."
"As expected of a royal family, Lily. I just can't say these words." Renetia said.
"It has nothing to do with the royal family. It's just a lesson I learned from long-term difficulties. You will understand it when you grow up, Letty."
Lily smiled slightly, swung the rapier, and the blade glowed golden in the gradually dimming sunlight, and then sheathed it.
"Well, grow up."
Renetia secretly glanced at Lily's chest, which was shaking due to the swing of the rapier, and clenched her fists, saying firmly: "Yes, I want to grow up!"
"Then you have to eat well. Eating well will help you grow up quickly. Your diet is very irregular, Letty."
Marika came over and said with a gentle smile: "Otherwise, you will become short when you grow up."
"Eh? Is that so?!" Renetia was stunned.
"Of course, little Letty." Marika rubbed Renetia's head and looked at the huge bridge. "How many people will the captain bring? How many people do we need to prepare meals for? It seems that we don't have enough ingredients. Ah, this is a happy trouble."
For Marika, it is very satisfying to be able to use her free will in sufficient conditions and find ways to feed people.
"It would be great if the warships over there could share some food with us, but I don't think that's possible. But as pirates, it's not impossible for us to steal some, leaving enough food for them to eat, and the rest will be ours." Marika looked to the side and smiled softly.
"If it's a warship, of course there will be enough food. Warship?"
Lily nodded in agreement, but her words suddenly got stuck in the middle of her sentence and she subconsciously looked in the direction Marika was looking.
"Lady Lily! Lady Renetia! Lady Marika!"
The frightened voices of several pirates rang out from the lookout on the mast, "A warship is coming!"
Renetia assembled the tool hammer and used her ability to twist the hammer handle. The hammer handle stretched and she carried it on her shoulder. She stood up and bared her fangs:
"It's just a warship. Why are you so panicked? It's not like we haven't robbed it before."
Her voice also got stuck, and she stared blankly at the approaching dog-head warship, the pupils in her bright big eyes quickly shrank.
"Sea, navy." She stammered, unable to speak.
"What's wrong?" Lily looked puzzled.
Although it was surprising to encounter a warship, that was all. It was not like they had never robbed warships before. They had encountered too many warships.
It was just a broken ship at first, and in order to avoid being sunk, it did not get entangled with the navy.
But now they have changed ships, and the cannons on the ship alone are enough to suppress a single warship, even if the warship coming from the sea is much larger than the ones they encountered in the East China Sea.
"Letty, is this our headquarters navy's big warship? It is indeed big, but it is not that scary. Although Sager is not here, we can still fight them with our words." Lily said.
"It's not that simple"
Marika's voice also became low, "Lily, you have been trapped in the palace since you were a child, so you don't know that the ship is not an ordinary navy warship, it is..."
Anyone who can receive information normally will recognize the warship with the dog head logo.
This iconic warship was often reported in newspapers, and the owner of the warship
was "a naval hero!" Renetia finally shouted out: "It's Garp!"
…
On the bridge, Sager's words caused people to fall into a brief silence.
After a moment of silence, a man suddenly laughed: "What are you talking about? How could I possibly die?"
But he stopped talking halfway and stared blankly at the guards lying down, as if he had lost his voice.
They were captured and forced to work as slaves and suffered inhuman treatment, but even so, they still wanted to live.
Precisely because they want to live, they grit their teeth and persevere. Over time, they have become numb to the fate of slaves and just work day after day, thinking that every day they live is a day.
After all, no one wants to die.
But now a man suddenly broke in and told them that he would take them to die. Of course no one would agree with such a ridiculous statement.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
Sager's unbridled face gave them an inexplicable touch.
It's like running freely on the beach as a child, being jealous of the girl you like as a teenager, or fighting with someone over an argument.
It's not about what these memories are, but the freedom they bring.
At that time, they were free and could freely decide what to do.
Death is indeed terrible.
But
the man subconsciously looked at the shackles on his hands and feet, then turned to look at the vast sea outside the bridge.
That is the sea!!
The sound of dragging shackles
attracted everyone's attention. A burly man about three meters tall was seen dragging shackles towards Sager.
The scar on his face makes him look very fierce.
But they all knew that when this ferocious guy first came, he was just a young man with a fair face and a kind smile.
Those scars were caused by beatings.
Even
the burly man opened his mouth, revealing his half-missing tongue, and raised the shackles on his hands.
The meaning is simple.
Cut it off and I'll go with you.
"No problem."
Sag stretched out his hand and cut through the shackles like a knife, cutting all the way through and breaking all the thick chains on his hands and feet.
There was a hint of excitement in the burly man's eyes, and then he ran straight towards the sea.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Sager grabbed the strong man's clothes and pulled him back.
"There's no need to jump into the sea. If you don't have some skills at this height, even the sea water will kill you. I don't want you to die now. Just follow me. I have a way to get you down from here."
Sager said, looking at the others, "So, is there anyone else willing to die with me?"
"Do you have a way to go directly to the sea from here?"
One of them looked down at the sea and wondered, "But even the cannons of the warships can't bring down the bridge."
Sager clenched his fists. "Of course a warship can't destroy a bridge, but me. A warship?"
What does it have to do with warships?
If he remembered correctly, he had already changed ships.
Sag subconsciously looked to the side, and on the sea under the bridge, he saw his black ship, which was increasing its power and sailing outward. Behind the black ship, there was a huge dog-head warship chasing it.
At the same time, a voice familiar to Renetia seemed to be emitted from the black ship through some kind of loudspeaker.
"Sag, garp is coming, run away!"
boom!!
The huge impact hit where Sager was, knocking him out directly. The impact landed on the ground, creating a dent in the bridge ground and stirring up a cloud of smoke.
"Hahahahaha!"
In the smoke, a broad figure with his head raised and laughing was reflected, as well as a heroic voice: "Want to take away the people of the Bridge Kingdom? Good job, Sager kid!"
