Pirate: I am the nephew of Akainu

Chapter 36 Pointing Gun - Horned Rhinoceros ([-] chapters)
Another day of camping in the wilderness.

After running around for two consecutive nights, Hughes doubted himself whether he was cursed by the evil that he could not stay in the hotel.

It was still the campsite last night. The terrain here is very good, and you can overlook the rapeseed flowers in the distance.

Before the three of them set up camp, they saw a huge duck galloping towards them.

Weiwei's face brightened, and she waved happily and shouted: "Karu, I'm here."

When Karu saw Weiwei, his face was happy at first, then he kept squawking, and quickly turned his head to signal behind him.

Kosha also found something wrong. Although the running duck was larger than normal ducks, it was only slightly larger than normal people.

The dust swirling behind Karoo is not a place where one or two ducks can sit, but more like a small team.

Kosha became nervous, and immediately looked around, trying to find a guy who would be handy.

The guy who was easy to find was not found, but he saw Hughes who was calm and relaxed.

Thinking of Hughes' strength, Kosha wasn't looking for weapons either. If even Hughes couldn't solve it, he didn't care about missing a stick.

Hughes knew what was behind Karoo, it was a good dinner, what a lucky duck.

When you get close, you can also see what is behind Karoo.

It was a desert crocodile with banana-shaped protrusions on the top of its head and tail, and it was chasing after Karoo.

"It's the Crocodile, his speed is second only to the running duck, and he is the top hunter in the desert." Kosha felt relieved, he thought it was the rebel team chasing him.

If it's just a crocodile, it's nothing to be afraid of. Kosha is sure to kill a crocodile single-handedly with a weapon in hand.

Of course, on the premise of being empty-handed, it is better to leave it to professionals.

Hughes disappeared without a shave, and reappeared not far from Kalu.

"Get down!" Hughes yelled at Karoo.

Karoo didn't know what Hughes was going to do, but out of fear of Hughes and sympathy for a certain BJ roast duck group, he decided to follow Hughes' instructions.

"Finger-horned rhinoceros"

Hughes folded his hands together, only the two index fingers protruding forward, in the pose of the top horn of the rhinoceros.

As soon as Karu got down on the ground, he felt a giant flying over his head, and the strong wind pressure completely pressed it to the ground.

The Crocodile behind Karoo was rejoicing that the duck had finally stopped, before it could open its bloody mouth, it completely lost consciousness.

The huge body fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Karu got up and looked back. The crocodile that had chased it for more than ten kilometers was looking at him with its bloody mouth wide open. It was so frightened that it almost passed out.

"Don't run away, he's dead." Hughes grabbed the soft-legged duck: "You go and bring Kosha over. He should be familiar with things like this."

Only then did Karoo discover that there was a two-finger wide wound on the top of the crocodile's head.

Because of the darkness, it was impossible to see how deep the wound was. Only Hughes knew that the wound penetrated the crocodile's body and went several feet deep into the ground.

Advanced navy six moves, this is the first time that Hughes has completely used the six moves developed in the second stage.

After a year of stationing at the naval base, Hughes' physical fitness finally reached the second-level development standard line, and he was able to use the complete six-style advanced moves without using fruits to strengthen his physical fitness.

This trick is the second-stage development of the finger gun.

Without focusing on the range strike ability, in Hughes' view, fingering the gun is a move to break the deadlock.

So pay more attention to speed and penetration ability.

If the horned rhino did not hit the crocodile's forehead, but passed through the abdomen or other unimportant parts, it would not cause a one-hit kill effect.

The F crocodile is smaller than the banana crocodile. Before that, Hughes always thought they were the same species.

Kosha treated the crocodile's body with a knife while explaining the difference between the two to Hughes.

The banana crocodile is much larger than the F crocodile and can hunt sea kings alone. The F crocodile is better at land speed and much smaller in size.

Even if it is not as huge as a banana crocodile, a crocodile is big enough to feed three people.

Hughes is holding the crocodile skin given by Kosha. This is the best leather on the F crocodile, and it can be used to make many high-end leather goods.

The leather had been processed, the blood on it was wiped off with sand, and Hughes put it away.

Ask the family members of Garr's subordinates another day if there are any capable people who know how to make leather goods.

After a full meal, the three of them half-lyed on the sand dunes, looking at the rapeseed flowers in the distance.

"In the past, rape blossoms were not so prosperous." Kosha looked at the lights in the distance and said: "Although it is a port city, the sea trade of rape blossoms is not developed, and Alabasta is a barren country, and the goods that can be sold are very small. few."

Although Weiwei is a member of the royal family, she doesn't know much about these livelihood issues.

Hearing Kosha mention it, he listened patiently from the side.

"Later, that ship came." Kosha said with emotion: "That was the first time I saw the outside world, a world that people yearn for."

"I thought about leaving, but I can't bear to stay here. This is my hometown."

"I've been asking myself every day since then how I can make Alabasta rich and strong."

Weiwei wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Those empty words on her lips were so powerless at this moment, she couldn't tell Kosha that the royal family of Alabasta would do its best to protect his people.

Kosha looked up at the sky, the stars are not dazzling at night, even the lights of the rapeseed flowers in the distance are more eye-catching than them.

But after many years, someone will still look up and see them.

"Always do something, even if it's to tell later generations that their ancestors have worked hard."

In Kosha, Hughes saw the shadows of some ancestors, who were still shining brightly in the gloomy age.

No matter what era it is, people like this are needed.

Hughes said to Koza: "I'm sorry, but you are a respectable person."

He was apologizing for what happened in the dungeon before. At that time, he only wanted to use Koza as a tool, and his attitude was a little bit bad.

Looking at it now, Kosha and Vivi are different.

A person who faces suffering and can look directly at suffering is not a garden baby full of ideals and ambitions.

Kosha didn't know why Hughes was apologizing, but he could feel the change in Hughes' attitude towards him.

"Thank you."

After such a long time, the guards on shift also found that Kosha had escaped from prison, and Rapeseed Flower became lively again.

Hughes saw several groups of people leaving the rape blossoms and heading towards various directions in the wilderness.

Undoubtedly, these are all used to find Kosha. In Quinn's heart, Kosha's status is much more important than Weiwei's.

That being the case, it is not safe outside the city.

Hughes asked, "Where are you going next?"

"Catelea." Koza replied, "There are all my companions who used to follow me. I should be able to persuade them to oppose Quinn together."

Weiwei nodded aside and said, "I will go with Kosha, and after persuading Cattleya, I will support Albana."

Hughes nodded, this plan is not bad.

There are still many rebels loyal to Koza in Cattleya, and Quinn has nothing to do with him there.

"I wish you both great success." Hughes cupped his hands and said, "Let's say goodbye and see you some other day."

He is not interested in Cattleya. Instead of wasting time in that kind of place, he might as well check out the background of those masters in Rapeseed Flowers, or go to Alba to arrange the battle in advance.

As for the safety of Weiwei and the others, with Kalu, the descending beast, it is unlikely that any mistakes will occur.

"Aren't you going with us?" Weiwei wanted to continue to get the protection of Hughes: "As long as we can persuade the rebels in Cattleya, we have great hope to disintegrate the rebel forces led by Quinn."

Hughes shook his head and said, "No, I have more important things to do."

Weiwei still wanted to fight for it, but was stopped by Kosha: "Thank you for your help, goodbye."

The three bid farewell, and Hughes looked at the noisy rapeseed, and couldn't calm down for a while.

I can only wrong myself to deal with it all night in the wilderness.

The next day, Hughes returned to Rapeseed Flowers, and his previous residence had been searched over.

Seeing Hughes coming back, the hotel owner's face changed slightly, and he took Hughes' hand and whispered, "Guest, where did you go last night? There has been a lot of wind recently, and the small shop can't stand the trouble."

Hughes shook his head and smiled, and took some Belise from his pocket to the boss.

"I drank too much last night and slept with my friends, which made my boss worry."

When the boss saw Bailey, he smiled happily: "It's okay, you should be more careful recently, I have connections from above."

The underlying meaning is to tell Hughes that you did not spend the money wrongly.

I asked the boss for a breakfast, and the price is paid separately. In short, the boss can't lose money.

After the boss left, Hughes opened the window to change the air in the room.

Before he was kept waiting for long, a note wrapped in wax pellets flew in through the window.

Hughes peeled off the wax pill and took out the letter inside. This is the news from Gal.

Because of the too much movement last night, Gal couldn't meet Hughes, so he activated the second contact plan.

There are only a few simple words on the note, which is a time. Only Hughes knows the specific meaning, even if it is taken by others.

It is the time for smuggling ships to enter the port.

Before going to Albana, Hughes planned to take a look at the transactions made by the black market dealers and do some damage by the way.

The smuggling boat will enter the port at ten o'clock in the morning, and there will be a while.

Hughes worked in the room for a while, pulled off a sheet, and left the room through the window.

It is harder to hide during the day than at night. Hughes spent a lot of time on this journey, and arrived at the port at exactly ten o'clock.

Since the rebels occupied Rapeseed Flowers, the port has become the most heavily guarded place.

Especially when the smuggling ship was stolen, in order to avoid some bad remarks, Quinn always set up a defense line outside in advance.

Obviously, the defense line built by the rebels is almost like paper to Hughes.

Flying over the heads of the rebels on guard, Hughes sneaked into the port just like that.

This is a natural harbor with few man-made facilities, only a dilapidated wharf.

The pier was full of people, not all of them were rebels, most of them were dressed in civilian clothes, and some of them were beautiful women.

Those rebels who mingled with the crowd, knelt on the ground and begged their colleagues, did not want to be trafficked as an effort.

Slaves without strength like them will be dispatched to farms and mines to work day and night until the day of death comes.

Unfortunately, their begging for mercy did not impress anyone. When the smuggling ship docked, they would be sold as goods.

The whistle sounded, and a black two-track sailboat sailed into the harbour.

This is the nightmare of Alabasta, the black market smugglers that bring disaster.

This is not the only ship entering the port today. Not far from this smuggling ship, there is another smuggling ship of the same style.

The garrisoned rebels talked a lot. They had never seen two smuggling ships, and they used to be one ship.

"Silence!" shouted an officer, "Whoever is talking nonsense, I will sell him as an animal."

In an instant, the harbor was quiet.

None of the rebels stationed wanted to be livestock, let alone sold to slave owners.

The two ships entered the port, and the rebels took the thrown cables and tied them to the posts.

Two businessmen with big bellies walked down with smiles on their faces: "Sir Pike, it's been a long time. This is a gift for you."

It is said to be a gift, but it is actually a thick stack of Baileys.

Logically speaking, they don't need to please the rebels, even Quinn, the leader of the rebels, wants something from them.

However, they are businessmen, and businessmen believe that harmony makes money.

With a little care, you can gain a friendship, which is really a profitable business.

The rebel named Pike took the gift, weighed it with his hands, and let out a satisfied smile.

"You are so polite." Pike stuffed Bailey into his arms: "What's the matter, you explain it, and I will let someone unload it."

Pike beckoned, and the rebels who had already been on standby came over and began to unload the goods on the cargo ship.

Most of the items unloaded from the cargo ship are guns and ammunition, which is also to prepare for the decisive battle.

In order to replenish these supplies in a short period of time, they suspended trade in the surrounding waters and supplied all of them to Alabasta.

It is enough to see the attitude of black market merchants towards CP0.

Under the methodical work of the rebels, the supplies of a ship were quickly unloaded.

Pike calls for people to unload the second boat, but is stopped by the black market dealer.

The black market merchant said with a smile: "This is some private goods, it's not convenient for you to do it, I really trouble you."

After all, another stack of Baileys was stuffed into Pike's arms.

Pike stuffed Bailey into his arms and waved back to the rebels without saying anything.

After the cargo was unloaded, the escort of those standing on the pier began.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hughes sneaked into the smuggling ship.

It was the second smuggling boat, even if you don't know what's here, you can see some clues just by watching the movement.

The second smuggling boat was guarded by guards, as usual, and Hughes slapped each other.

Putting down the guards on the deck, Hughes looked at the empty deck and found nothing unusual.

After thinking for a moment, he walked to the interior of the cabin.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Hughes smelled a stench, which was indescribable.

There was the smell of blood and the stench of excrement, which made Hughes subconsciously think of the dungeon.

Compared with the dungeon where Kosha was held, this place was more like a cage, and the prisoners it held could not be called human beings.

The arrival of Hughes seems to have caused a series of chain reactions.

The roar of wild beasts sounded one after another. Hughes looked at these monsters bound by chains, and he didn't know how to call them.

Beast, or human.
