Pirate Lord of Darkness

At this time, the merchant ship was ready to leave, and the people on the merchant ship rushed back with their things. After all, they were elite sailors who had been sailing on the sea for more than ten years. They were keenly aware that someone was observing them in the small town. It seemed like someone was already targeting them.

So they had to leave early and not give those who were targeting them time to react.

The merchant ship quickly left the port and headed towards the next island. After they left, a few minutes later, a pirate ship quietly left and followed the direction of the merchant ship's departure.

On the sea, the merchant ship was moving at full speed, hoping to get rid of the pirates who were targeting them, but somehow, the old captain always had an unpleasant premonition in his heart.

"No, captain, there is a pirate ship following us." The lookout on the merchant ship has been constantly observing. After knowing that pirates were targeting them, he has been observing very carefully. Mainly It was in the direction behind the merchant ship. Finally, he discovered that a pirate ship was approaching quickly.

He was very anxious and passed the news to the waiting old captain.

The old captain looked calm and not in a hurry, because he had already prepared for such a situation, and he knew that the more such a situation occurs, the less anxious he must be and the more calm he must be. As the captain of a ship, he must play a good role taking the lead.

"Don't worry, let's take another look. What kind of ship is it? What kind of pirate group?" the old captain asked calmly.

"Okay, I'll go take a look." Perhaps it was the old captain's attitude that affected him. The lookout quickly calmed down, put on his binoculars, and continued to look in the direction of the pirate ship.

This time he looked at it very carefully, "Captain, it's a three-ship sailboat, and the pirate flag is painted with a flaming wolf skull." the lookout shouted.

After hearing this, the old captain's face became a little heavy. "It seems that we are ready to fight." Sangui Sailing Ship is the fastest type of ship on the sea, especially when there is a tailwind. , its speed will be greatly accelerated.

At the speed of the Sangui sailboat, it wouldn't take long to catch up with the merchant ship.

"Check it out, which pirate group is this?" Beside him, there were two sailors. In front of them were thick reward orders stacked one after another. They had already prepared them.

"Yes, Captain." they both said in unison.After saying that, he quickly started to look at the bounty notices, which also contained information about those pirate groups.

This contains bounty lists and related information for most of the pirate groups in the New World. Basically every merchant ship on the sea has such things.

"Then notify them and get them ready to fight." The old captain said solemnly.

"Boss Teach, why don't we go out and take a look?" Mobius asked.There was a lot of noise outside, and the movement of people could be heard in the room, as well as the sound of exchanges. He already knew that pirates were targeting merchant ships.

"Just take care of yourself, Mobius. Your current strength can only deal with some small pirates." Teach smiled and continued his training. After listening to Teach's words, Mobius nodded. , continue your own blows, and keep pumping your arms towards the steel bar in front of you. This kind of blows is irregular and arbitrary. The parts of the arms that are hit every time are different, so that all parts of the arms can be exercised. .

"Captain, we found it. This is the Fire Wolf Pirates. Captain Hogg is a pirate with a bounty of 1000 million." Finally, a sailor found it, and there was a reward order, and there were their pirates next to it. The pattern of the bandit flag was exactly the same as that described by the lookout.

On the other side, at the bow of the Fire Wolf Pirates, Hogg stood on the bow with a smile and excitement on his face, "As long as I get that thing, I will soon become a big pirate. Then leave this small place, and as for you, just realize the final value for me."

Fire Wolf Hogg said with a cruel smile on his face. Fortunately, there were no pirates around him. They could not imagine that their captain was ready to sacrifice them.

After getting the news about that thing, he took the pirate group to this small island and waited for the merchant ship to arrive. He did not wait for the merchant ship within the scheduled time, and had already given up. After another day, Unexpectedly, the merchant ship came, and even God was helping him.

No one else has been told the news about this thing except himself, not even the people on his own ship, and it is even less possible for other pirate groups.

This time he is the only pirate group to come. With the strength of the merchant ship, their pirate group will definitely suffer heavy losses this time, but he is already prepared. As long as he gets that thing, he can become stronger and become the leader of the sea. Thief, when the time comes, the crew will have as many as they want, and they will be much stronger than these trash.

If he united with other pirate groups to come together, under the absolute power, the losses would definitely be much smaller, but he was afraid that other pirate groups would snatch this thing from him. Although they didn't know it, in order to avoid accidents, Then he and his pirate group took action.

Some of the pirates chatting and laughing in the back were still dreaming about the benefits that would be distributed next, but they didn't know that they had already been given up by their boss.

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect there was such a good thing on the ship." Tiqi thought happily while training. He was also a little strange, how could this pirate group focus on this merchant ship? Before leaving, he felt a lot The spying eyes were all watching this merchant ship. Several pirate groups united to focus on this ship, but they did not expect that there was only one pirate group.

His strength is not much stronger than that of merchant ships. Even if he succeeds, he will definitely suffer heavy losses in the end, and what he gains is not proportional to what he loses.

So, what is something important in the merchant ship that the Fire Wolf Pirates want to get even if they have to pay a heavy price.He had taken a rough look at what he had seen before, but now he had an idea.

Tiqi started his own observation, and finally found it. It was the room of the person in charge of these goods, which was secretly protected by him. The things were hidden in his suitcase. His suitcase was large and full of stuff. Clothes and trousers, and in the suitcase, there is a very secret second layer, where a Devil Fruit is hidden. The uneven surface and weird patterns. Because he has not seen it with his own eyes, Teach cannot recognize what it is. Devil Fruit.

"Just store the things there first." That's right, in Teach's heart, this Devil Fruit is already his. He didn't expect that his luck would be so good. He only came out of the Whitebeard Pirates ten years ago. Within a few days, I encountered a Devil Fruit, a Devil Fruit that could be obtained easily.

"Damn it, how can there be a pirate group with a bounty of over [-] million in this small place, and it is also targeting merchant ships." In the room, the owner of the goods gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

The suitcase containing the Devil Fruit was placed by him by the window. It was very normal and had nothing to hide. Hiding it too deeply might arouse others' suspicion.

He was very anxious now, "No, there is absolutely no way anything will happen to this Devil Fruit, even if the entire ship is sacrificed." As he said that, a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

This Devil Fruit is very precious. It was auctioned by the Chamber of Commerce in other places. In order to avoid being targeted by the big pirates and snatching away the Devil Fruit, the Chamber of Commerce secretly sent the Devil Fruit to him, hoping to use him to get the Devil Fruit. Send the fruit back.

So when he was transporting the goods, he specifically chose this remote route where the overall strength of pirates was weak. He also chose a very reputable old captain who had been sailing in this sea area for decades to escort the goods, but he didn't expect that Something went wrong.

This devil fruit represents his life and future.The full name of the Chamber of Commerce is "Kate Chamber of Commerce". It is obvious that behind the Kate Chamber of Commerce stands an entire country, mainly the nobles of the kingdom, but also the royal family of the kingdom.

Kate's Chamber of Commerce has a country as its backing and is powerful, but he is just a small principal in the Chamber of Commerce, a very inconspicuous role.As the person who delivers the Devil Fruit, he knows some inside information. This Devil Fruit was appointed by a royal family of Kate Kingdom and is very important.

Once he successfully returns this devil fruit to Kate's Kingdom, he will take off completely, and his position will definitely rise. It is not a dream to become a senior manager of the management side, or even a senior executive of the Chamber of Commerce. If he is lucky, he can Becoming a close confidant of that royal family was his chance to change his destiny.

Therefore, he does not allow any failure. If he fails, he will die. If the Devil Fruit is taken away, death will definitely be waiting for him. Even if he survives by chance, death will be waiting for him after returning to Kate's Kingdom. He has no choice. Put the suitcase in the window, and after failure, he can eat the devil fruit, then jump into the sea, burying himself and this ability in the sea.

As for escaping after eating a Devil Fruit, he has never thought about it. Let's not talk about whether he has such qualifications. It does not mean that eating Devil Fruits can make you stronger. This still needs to be developed. And he doesn't understand the basics at all, so he still Somewhat self-aware.Moreover, he could not imagine how terrifying the power mobilized by a big country could be.

"Hahahaha! It's really interesting!" The person in charge in the room never thought that everything about him was being probed by someone.

Yes, it's Teach.His insightful domineering power, which has been developed to the smallest detail, has never had any special abilities. Tiqi could not think of any special abilities. Instead, it has many functions in assisting, such as judging ideas with micro-expressions, extreme analytical power, During combat, he can sense his opponent's movements more keenly than ordinary sight, and it also strengthens Teach's control over his body.

These are all achieved by Tiqi using the Haki of Knowledge and Knowledge to cooperate with him, or Tiqi developed it by using Knowledge and Color himself. However, Knowledge and Color itself has no special ability, unlike those who are born with the power of Knowledge and Mind-reading.

Since that encounter with the Ant King, the communication with him seemed to have opened a new door for Tiqi. He could perceive thoughts and emotions through seeing, hearing, and color. Although there were also reasons for the Ant King to communicate with him, Tiqi felt that he can do.Perceiving thoughts by sensing the fluctuations of emotions, combined with Teach's micro-expressions, is a bit like mind reading, although it's a little worse.

But there is no comparison with the Red Earl's mind-reading ability. His bug-level ability, which can even steal memories, is also the most terrifying ability in Teach's eyes.

Tiqi found it very interesting. These two people were on two sides, Hogg, the captain of the Fire Wolf Pirates, and the cargo chief of the merchant ship. They both had the same idea, that is, they both wanted to do whatever it took, even if they lost the entire ship people.

For this devil fruit.

"Ivan, Ivan!" The voice of the old captain came from outside. Ivan, the person in charge of the cargo in the merchant ship, heard it, came back to his senses, controlled his expression, and looked ugly.

"Old Captain, can't you avoid these pirates?" Ivan asked worriedly. "Yes, the pirate ship is getting closer." The old captain sighed.

"It seems that this battle is inevitable." Ivan sighed and looked at the old captain, "Then, in order to protect the cargo of this ship and win the battle, take out the three artillery pieces in the warehouse and use them Well, there are also some cannonballs and guns, which should be able to enhance the combat power of the ship."

Unexpectedly, Ivan would actually take out the weapons for them to use. The old captain was very moved, "Ivan, thank you very much." After saying that, he left, because the battle was about to start, and he was here this time. Let me inform Ivan, I didn’t expect such a surprise.

In fact, these arms were sent to the ship just for such a situation. Otherwise, how could it be possible to put precious arms on this small merchant ship? You must know that the delivery of arms is not by piece, but by batch. , sent in batches, each batch of ships transporting arms is guarded by a large number of elite soldiers, as well as strong guards. When ordinary pirates encounter them, they will be wiped out without any resistance.

"Young men, prepare for the next battle." Hogg shouted.

"Captain, why don't you use artillery to bombard that merchant ship first?" asked a pirate next to him.However, what was waiting for him was a slap that flew towards him. It hit him hard on the face with a powerful force. His whole body flew more than ten meters away, turned around several times in mid-air, and then fell into the sea. .

"What if the merchant ship is sunk, what will happen to our goods?" Hogg yelled. In fact, what he was thinking was, if the merchant ship was sunk, what would happen to his Devil Fruit? It might sink into the sea. If you can't find it after that, then everything you have done will be in vain.

The pirates around him couldn't help but tremble when they saw it. "As expected of the boss, he's just thoughtful." They boasted one by one, flattering Fire Wolf Hogg.

Soon, the two ships met, less than 50 meters apart. For some reason, the Fire Wolf Pirates didn't fire. "Since they didn't fire, they were probably afraid that our merchant ship would be destroyed. That's just right." The old captain saw the Fire Wolf Pirates. The thieves did not fire, and quickly guessed Hogg's thoughts, and they were very happy in their hearts. This sea ship has been with him for more than ten years, and it has reached the age of retirement, but over the years, he has feelings for it. I didn't want him to be destroyed and sunk by artillery.

"Everyone, get ready, aim, light, and fire!" the old captain shouted in one breath.
