Pirate's Swamp Fruit

..fastest update

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 they were unwilling to do so, the guests did not dare to resist. The tragic situation just now was still before their eyes, and they had no other choice but to obediently pay the money.

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.

"Poof!" The big man holding the knife pulled out the machete with an expressionless face and brought out a piece of blood. He picked up the meal holder and wiped the blood on the knife while looking 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 their bags.

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 at a certain seat at the bar was very 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. He turned back and looked at Pike, "So, old man, is it time to turn in the protection fee this month? You know others, but I asked them several days in advance." I've handed it in, Pike. I delayed it for a few days specifically to reduce your pressure. Thinking about it this way, I'm really a good person who considers 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 like your cheerfulness. This is good for everyone, isn't it?" George smiled and grabbed the bag, opened it, and said with satisfaction when he saw Bailey inside.

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 your cooperation, please do me a favor." Pike pointed at the guests, focusing on the two guests lying on the ground who didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

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

George's smile faded a little, and 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, , I guarantee that they will not be harmed at all."

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 sped up their movements and cursed those customers who were a little slower. Soon, the seven men 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 pretty good." The seven big men laughed wildly when they saw this. Then they set their sights on the last person who had not handed over the protection fee, a person sitting on the bar and covered by a black robe. .

"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 humiliated and frowned. Just when he was about to make a move, George came over and waved his hand to ask him to step back. Then he stood next to Wilder and looked at himself with half-squinted eyes. Drinking Wilder.

"If you are confused about whether this friend should pay the protection fee, then I can explain it to you. The rules here are like this. When the protection fee is collected every month, the guest..."

"Get lost." Wilder put down his wine glass in front of the bar and uttered one word lightly.

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

An idea rose in everyone's mind at the same time that he was dead.

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

"What did you just say?" The voice was trembling, but 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.

"click"

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.

"Come on." George didn't know that the other party was not simple at this time. He stood up, waved his hand, and gritted his teeth and uttered one word.

"Go to hell" George made a crazy 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, seven big men pulled the triggers in time, and 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. His hand holding the gun suddenly let go. The short gun fell to the ground, and he fell to the ground rolling in pain.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff." Bullets shot through the air randomly. Suddenly, there were screams and the sound of falling to the ground. George was shot through his hands and knees by four bullets at the same time. He fell to the ground and howled miserably. .

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

"Bang!" A few gold coins fell on the bar. Wilder said a few words to the boss at the bar. As if he got 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 little miserable at this time, no one dared to stand out at this time.

George walked to the bar, put his hands on the bar counter, and looked at the owner of the bar with blood-red eyes, "Parker, tell me, what did that guy just say to you?"

"Nothing, he just asked me where I can find a shipbuilder here." Pike looked at George's blood-red eyes, hesitated, and said.

"Really?" George lowered his head and whispered.

After walking out of the tavern, Wilder did not rush to the area where the shipyards were concentrated. Instead, he wandered around 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 he didn't just kill George and the others, Wilder didn't think much about it, because that way, he would inevitably kill people wherever he went. And with his current relationship with the Navy, killing people would not have much impact, to be honest. But after all, if you kill too much, you will be discovered, especially in these busy places. Once you are discovered to have killed someone, the identity of Shichibukai does not matter. The main thing is that the identity of the criminal and all the culpability that were originally eliminated may start to accumulate again. Now This is not the time to pierce this protective film.

The naval fortress can be right at your doorstep. 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, Yonko, Shichibukai, World Government, Revolutionary Army

How to survive and grow in this world, Wilder knew that he still had to take advantage of the situation, the navy and the World Government, and use it to restrain the threats from Big Mom and even the Four Emperors.

And try your best to grow as much as possible during this safe period. When it grows to the point that it arouses the hostility of the navy, it is 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.

With this capital, it means that he can develop without scruples without worrying about attracting anyone who wants to attack him without hesitation. The power of deterrence will make his peers dare not act too rashly. He will take advantage of this opportunity and continue to develop until everyone regards him as the biggest 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, you will be the master of the world.

Also worth it.

At worst, I will die, 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, Baileys per skewer, cheap and affordable”

“The fresh sand fish, one bite will make you feel like a fish”

"Newly arrived men's shirts. Buy one and get three free. Buy two and get five free."

"Boss, I'll buy one."

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

"Yeah, 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 sound was masked by another sound, filled with the clanging and humming sounds of carpentry work.

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."

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
