People in One Piece Four Emperors are clones

Chapter 227 Wolverine
The new world, the second half of the great route, is only a small part of the world's oceans.

However, due to the distance between islands and islands, and the weather in the new world is weird and changeable, many islands do not communicate with each other.

And the unique topography makes it impossible for an island to be completely self-sufficient. It is often that a certain specialty is rich, while other materials are in short supply.

Based on this demand, the business of maritime merchants came into being naturally.

It is an eternal truth that businessmen pursue profit.

The huge profits generated from the sale of materials between islands in the New World have given birth to countless chambers of commerce that regard death as home.

The mentality of these businessmen to make money even exceeds Wang Lufei's belief in becoming One Piece.

It has become the instinct of these chambers of commerce to cling to the powerful to shield themselves from the wind and rain.

In the new world, these chambers of commerce will pay generous protection funds and attach themselves to the forces of many underground kings and big pirates to obtain protection.

Therefore, all chambers of commerce operating in the New World have backgrounds.

Except for newcomers who have just entered the new world, there are no discerning newcomers, and generally there will be no pirates who don't open their eyes to rob the chamber of commerce.

Austin's chamber of commerce was previously attached to the name of the great pirate 'Tarsus spider' Taratu in the first half of the new world.

Although Austin used to be trembling every time he convoyed, the title of "Tarsus Spider" still had a certain deterrent effect in the first half.

Apart from dealing with the newly arrived pirates, Austin didn't feel too much pressure.

However, in the past few months, the situation in the new world has been changing. Taratu, the tarsus spider, and several other great pirates died in the hands of the navy, and the forces under his command fell apart overnight.

Without the suppression of a few big pirates, this sea area is completely boiling.

Countless small and medium-sized forces are crazily grabbing territory, and the sound of fighting is loud. Every day, pirate groups are destroyed in battles, and new pirate forces rise from the ruins.

During the change of forces, Austin's chamber of commerce, because it lost its shelter, was like a piece of fat exposed to wolves, delicious and attractive.

The countless pirate forces that have been attracted are salivating.

If it weren't for the owner of the chamber of commerce, who spent all his money to contact the forces in the underground world and let the underground forces send a group of subordinates, the chamber of commerce would have been swallowed up by people.

Even so, the past few months have also been the most frightening for Austin.

Although the new world is currently in chaos, there are so many people in the chamber of commerce to support, so naturally they can't just sit at home and bite the bullet and restart the route.

As the leader of the Chamber of Commerce's guards, Austin naturally took over this important task as his duty.

Fortunately, although the days on board were monotonous and repetitive, they passed by quite quickly.

It has been half a month since the voyage this time, which means that this voyage has completed three-quarters of the route, and there are only about five days left to the island for this transaction.

Fortunately, the Chamber of Commerce did not encounter any pirates during these days, not even a shadow of a pirate ship.

After all, although there are as many pirates as there are stars in the New World, the vast sea has a larger area, and not every time you travel, you will encounter pirates.

"Ok?"

Austin, who was enjoying the sea breeze, stared fiercely.

On the sea level within sight, a small black dot appeared.

Austin shuddered all over, pulled out the binoculars from his waist, and looked forward.

What appeared in sight was a dilapidated pirate ship, the pirate flag hanging on the mast fluttering wantonly in the wind.

"I found a pirate ship, the whole ship is on alert!"

The harsh siren sounded on the merchant ship as Austin shouted.

Suddenly there was the sound of panicked footsteps on the deck.

"Don't panic, turn the bow, avoid the direction of the pirate ship, sail at full speed, and prepare to get rid of them."

Austin directed with aplomb.

"Captain, they are here."

The vice-captain of the escort team walked to Austin with a gloomy face, and saw them in the distance, and followed the pirate ship that turned its course, with a somewhat cold tone.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Austin said with an ugly face: "The other party is a caravel sailboat, which is at least five knots faster than us at full speed. Unless there is a storm, our chances of escaping are very low."

"What, can we only fight with them?" The deputy captain's expression changed.

"Their ship has been refitted. According to visual inspection just now, the artillery on the deck exceeds the conventional firepower of the caravel sailing ship."

Austin shook his head, the subtext is that he can't escape, and he may not be able to fight.

"You go to stabilize people's hearts first, let the helmsman continue to move forward at full speed, and hope they don't bite too hard."

Austin said something that he didn't quite believe. It was impossible for the shark to leave the prey without seeing the blood.

And the pirates in this sea will only be more ferocious and bloody than sharks.

Between chasing and fleeing, half a day passed.

As Austin expected, in order to load more cargo, the ships of the Chamber of Commerce were not as fast as the lightly loaded pirate ships, and the pirate ships finally caught up slowly.

"Boom boom boom!"

Once within range, the pirate ship poured firepower in the direction of the merchant ship without hesitation.

But when the distance was too close, the flag on the pirate ship was finally clearly seen by the people on the merchant ship.

"It's the Wolverine Pirates!"

The sailors on board let out desperate cries.

The Wolverine Pirates, the most notorious pirates in this sea area, came to the New World through hardships from the first half of the great voyage, but were defeated by the strange weather and powerful peers in the New World, and did not dare to continue sailing in the New World go down.

He only dared to swim in the waters at the entrance of the new world, and made a living by robbing the chamber of commerce and the pirates who had just entered the new world.

Captain Babbik, who has the animal-type weasel fruit and wolverine form ability, takes into account the animal-type's infinite strength and vigilance.

All the caravans encountered hardly survived, and they were hit with one blow and fled thousands of miles away.

Austin and the others never expected that they would run into this vicious pirate group, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​spending money to buy their lives.

When encountering the Wolverine Pirates, there is no other way but to fight to the death. Even if you pay money, you can't escape death.

"Sailors prepare, reload the artillery, aim at the opposite side, shoot me to death!" Austin roared with a hoarse throat.

"Sink them, and we will have a chance!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The artillery on the merchant ship desperately clashed with the Wolverine Pirates.

But facing the firepower of the pirate ship several times that of their own side, the guards of the chamber of commerce wanted to kill the thief, but were powerless.

He could only watch helplessly as the merchant ship became shattered under rounds of bombing, and the ship was full of burning flames and dead sailors' corpses, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Everyone fell into deep despair.

Casually splitting a flying shell, Austin raised his head covered in blood, staring at the pirate ship and the tall and burly half-beast monster on the bow that were already close at hand a few nautical miles away.

The captain of the Wolverine Pirates, Barbick the Wolverine.

Blood from his forehead flowed into his eyes, and Austin's vision was blood red.

In Yinhong's vision, Austin seemed to see in a daze that a large shadow seemed to appear in the sky behind the Wolverine Pirates, and it was moving towards this direction at an extremely fast speed.
