Pirate's Swamp Fruit

Chapter 238 236 Get lost!
There was no sound in the tavern.

Faces stared at George's back in horror or gnashing their teeth.

Seeing George's movements, the seven big men who followed him sneered and walked towards the guests in the tavern with malicious intentions.

Wilder knew what they were going to do. He had just heard from those discussions that these people would come to the tavern from time to time every month to collect protection fees, and there was a disgusting rule that the guests who were in the tavern that day You also have to pay a protection fee.

At this time, the actions of these seven big men were self-evident. Sure enough, there was a rustling sound in the tavern.

Although unwilling, the guests did not dare to resist. The tragedy just now was still in front of them. There was no other way but to pay the money obediently.

Of course, some people resisted. A tall and strong man stood up, and just about to run, a sharp knife pierced his chest in an instant.

"Pfft!" The big man with the knife pulled out the machete expressionlessly, bringing out a pool of blood. While wiping the blood off the knife with his meal supplement, he looked at the others with a sneer.

With a plop, the strong man fell to the ground stiffly.

Seeing this scene, the others screamed in horror, suppressed their small thoughts, and quickly took out the money on their bodies.

"That's right, won't it be fine if you cooperate obediently?" The seven big men sneered while putting the money into the bag.

At this time, George was indifferent to the actions of his subordinates behind him. He came to the bar, looked at Pike in the bar with a cruel smile on his face.

As soon as he came over, the surrounding guests who were drinking and bragging just now were too frightened to speak or sit down, and stood there obediently waiting for the big men to come to collect the protection fee.

Only Wilder, who seemed to have not seen all this from the beginning to the end, drank quietly alone, looking extremely abrupt in this tense and chilling atmosphere.

In the tavern, only the sound of drinking from a certain seat at the bar was extremely clear, and everyone looked there with a ghostly expression on their faces.

The smile on George's face froze for a moment, and he turned to look at the person next to him.

Covered in a black robe, he couldn't see clearly, sitting in a casual posture, crossing his hands on the bar, raising his glass from time to time to take a sip of wine and a bite of meat, his whole person had an indescribable momentum and composure.

George's eyes changed slightly, and then he smiled with interest, turned his head, and looked at Pike, "So, old man, shouldn't this month's protection fee be handed in? You know, I let others go several days in advance. They handed it in, that is, Parker, I deliberately delayed it for a few days to relieve your pressure, thinking about it this way, I am really a good person who thinks about others."

For him, the tavern owner's protection fee is the big one, and those guests, George, won't be too much. Everyone just needs to give a symbolic [-] Bailey, and the real big one is still on the boss.

Pike obviously knew that there would be such a time, and apparently such things happened every month. Knowing that George was a man who could not be sympathetic, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he nodded.

"Please wait a moment." Pike said, bent down and took out a cloth bag from under the bar. It was placed very heavily, and a bag full of Baileys could be seen from the protruding corner.

"Oh, you are still considerate, old man, I just like your straightforwardness, isn't this good for everyone?" George smiled and grabbed the bag, opened it, and saw Bailey inside and said with satisfaction.

Wilder drank the wine quietly, without any thoughts or actions on all this.

Pike hesitated for a moment, looked at George and said, "For the sake of my cooperation, please..." As he spoke, Pike pointed to the guests, focusing on the two guests who were lying on the ground dead or alive. .

"Please don't embarrass the guests next time, Mr. George."

George's smile subsided a little, he stared at Pike quietly for a while, and then smiled again: "Of course, I will let them try their best, but you should also understand our difficulties, right? If they cooperate like you If so, I guarantee that they will not be harmed in the slightest."

After finishing speaking, ignoring Pike's reaction, George turned his head and shouted to several of his subordinates, "Hurry up, you guys, we have to go to the next one."

"Okay, Boss!" The seven big men quickened their movements, yelling at the customers who moved a little slower, and soon, the seven came to the bar.

Several men who had just been drinking at the bar hurriedly took Bailey out of their pockets, and put Bailey into the cloth bag carried by the seven of them when they walked towards them.

"Haha, you guys are not bad!" Seeing this, the seven big men laughed, extremely rampant, and then they turned their attention to the last person who did not pay the protection fee, a man who was sitting on the bar and covered in black robes. people.

"Hey, you can still drink, you have a lot of guts." One of the big men came over with a cold machete, stood beside Wilder, and looked at him with a sneer.

The only answer to him was the sound of drinking in the silence.

The big man felt very shameless, frowned, and was about to make a move, when George came over, waved his hand, and told him to back down, then he stood beside Wilder, half-closed his eyes and looked at himself. Wilder who drinks.

"Should this friend pay the protection fee? If you are confused, then I can explain it to you. The rule here is this. When collecting the protection fee every month, the guest..."

"Get out." Wilde put down his glass in front of the bar and said a word lightly.

There was no sound in the tavern, the guests and Pike opened their mouths wide, and their Adam's apple twitched.

A thought arose in everyone's heart at the same time - he was dead.

George's smile froze, cold killing intent spread from his body, and his fists slowly tightened.

"What... what did you just say?" The voice trembled, but it was extremely cold.

Wilde raised his hand for a pause, then drank the liquid in the glass in one gulp, without saying a word, picked up the big bone and big meat and bit a mouthful of it.

In the tavern, there was only the sound of rejecting the meat, which was heard clearly in everyone's ears.

"Looking for death!" George's face instantly became ferocious, and he raised his hand to grab Wilder's shoulder.

"Bah!"

Wilder didn't turn his head back, he grabbed the big bones and big meat with one hand and ate it, but with the other hand, he grabbed the hand coming from behind like a swift dragon.

George's face changed, and he felt as if his hand was being held by an iron clamp, and he couldn't break free, nor could he move an inch.

At this moment, Wilder suddenly let go of his hand, and George fell backward due to excessive force, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, his face turning blue and red.

"Go!" George didn't know that the other party was not easy at this time. He stood up, waved his hand, and gritted his teeth to spit out a word.

"Go to hell!" George made a frantic voice.

Wilder put down his wine glass, and he didn't move until then, stood up slowly, and turned around.

At this time, the seven big men and George had already drawn out their knives and guns, aiming at Wilder.

George looked at Wilder with a cruel and crazy smile, "Shoot!"

As his voice fell, the seven big men pulled the triggers in time, and the seven guns fired bullets at Wilder at the same time.

Wilder couldn't even arouse any interest in dealing with this kind of role. His figure flashed and disappeared in place.

The faces of George and the others changed drastically.

At this time, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and dozens of bullets that had been fired continuously were ejected from the air.

"Pfft!" A big man's knee was pierced by a bullet, he let out a painful scream, and knelt on the ground.

"Pfft!" A bullet passed through the wrist of a big man, and his hand holding the gun suddenly let go, and the short gun fell to the ground, where he fell down and rolled in pain.

"Puff, puff, puff..." The bullets passed through the air indiscriminately, and suddenly there were screams and the sound of falling to the ground. George was pierced through both hands and knees by four bullets at the same time, and he fell to the ground with a miserable sound. howl.

It wasn't until everyone fell to the ground and rolled that Wilder's figure appeared, and there was no sound in the tavern.

"Boom!" A few gold coins landed on the bar counter, and Wilder said a few words to the boss at the bar counter, as if he had received some response from the boss, he nodded, turned and walked outside.

Everyone watched the man covered in a black robe walking towards the outside of the tavern, until his back disappeared at the door, and they still haven't recovered for a long time.

After a while, there was a sound of gasping for air in the tavern, and everyone looked in the direction of the door with horrified expressions.

"Who is he?"

There was a lot of discussion in the tavern. At this time, no one noticed that George, who was lying on the ground, stared at the door where Wilder left, his eyes were bloodshot.

He struggled to get up, the tavern fell silent, and everyone backed up to both sides, away from him.

Although George looked a bit miserable at this time, no one dared to run out at this time to be the first bird.

George walked to the bar, put his hands on the bar table, looked at the bar owner with bloodshot eyes, "Pike, tell me, what did that guy just tell you?"

"No...it's nothing, he just asked me where I can find the shipwright." Pike looked at George's blood-red eyes, hesitated, and said.

"Really..." George lowered his head and whispered.

……

After Wilder walked out of the tavern, he didn't rush to the area where the shipyards were concentrated, but started to wander the streets to appreciate the unique customs and customs. This was his favorite thing to do wherever he went.

Wilder didn't pay much attention to what happened in the tavern just now. To him, this incident was just an episode and couldn't be brought to the fore.

As for why they didn't kill George directly?Wilder doesn't really think about it, because in that case, I'm afraid he will inevitably kill people wherever he goes, and with his current relationship with the Navy, killing... To be honest, although it won't have much impact, after all, if he kills too much, he will If it is discovered, especially in these lively venues, once it is found to kill, Qi Wuhai's identity does not matter, the main reason is that the criminal identity and all the criminal responsibilities that were originally eliminated may start to accumulate again. At this stage, it is not necessary to pierce this layer of protection. film time.

The naval fortress is right in front of my house, once it is listed as an enemy by the navy...

A cold light flashed in Wilder's eyes. He won't allow all of this to exist for too long. No matter what Big Mom's blockade is, it's still the protection of the naval fortress at this stage, and the monitoring and threats in the future.

Wilder has never ignored the issue of the naval fortress. He just didn't want to bring it up, because he has no strength, and it would be useless to mention it. It's better to lie dormant and wait until he has accumulated enough strength to break it all.

Navy, Four Emperors, Qiwuhai, World Government, Revolutionary Army...

How to survive and grow in between, Wilder knows that he still has to take advantage of the situation, the navy and the world government, and use it to restrain the threat from Big Mom...even the Four Emperors.

And try to grow as much as possible during this safe period, and when it grows to the point where it arouses hostility from the navy... then it's time to blatantly take advantage of other forces.

But the first thing to do before that is to unplug Big Mom as a threat.

Only when this is done can the naval fortress be attacked.

Eliminate all threats and become one of the most powerful forces in the world that cannot be ignored. Only then will you have the capital to fight for hegemony.

And with this capital, it means that he can develop without any scruples without worrying about attracting anyone who wants to attack him without hesitation. The deterrent force will make his colleagues dare not act too rashly. Will take advantage of this opportunity to continue to develop until... everyone regards him as the greatest threat.

"I'm afraid it will be too late then." Wilde smiled excitedly after thinking about it.

When you have the confidence to face all forces united to fight, you will not be afraid of a battle. If you win, you will be the master of the world. If you lose...

Also worth it.

The big deal is death, and there will be no regrets at that time.

However, Wilder didn't want the latter result to happen.

Walking on the bustling streets, appreciating the different customs, Wilder felt something special.

During this walk, I stopped from time to time to drink a glass of unique juice drink on the side of the road, eat a bunch of grilled meatballs and seafood, and taste the unique and delicious salt flavor. Before I knew it, half a day had passed.

"It's almost time to get down to business."

Wilder turned around and walked towards his destination.

"Fried Dinosaur Chicken! Fried Dinosaur Chicken, a bunch of [-] Baileys, cheap and affordable!"

"Sand sculpture fish! Fresh sand sculpture fish, take a bite and let the whole person become a sand sculpture!"

"Clothes! New men's shirts! Buy one, get three! Buy two, get five!"

"Boss, I'll buy one."

"Okay, one piece is [-] Baileys, here are four pieces, you take them."

"Well... I'll buy another one."

"Okay, here are four pieces, take them."

Along the way, there was constant hawking. Wilder tried the dinosaur chicken. By the way, he glanced at the shopkeeper next door who was eating sand sculpture fish while selling clothes. He shook his head, said something about sand sculpture, then turned and left.

When entering another area, the hawking was drowned out by another sound, the clanking and humming of carpentry work everywhere.

Wilder walked to the No. [-] dock, entered a shipbuilding workshop, and explained his purpose.

"I need some shipwrights."

The shopkeeper who was working looked up at Wilder a few times, then shook his head, uttered two words and then got down to work.

"No."
