Pirate Catcher in the Rye

After three months,

evening.

In order to prevent an accident like last time, this time Hawkins took action personally, sneaking up on a pirate captain who had a bounty of 2000 million Baileys on his head, and making a new voodoo doll.

This pirate captain was carefully selected, and both his strength and the number of his men were within Hawkins' control.

After three months of preparation, the preparations for taking over the Stoke family's property have been completed.

"Whoo~"

Hawkins took a deep breath: "Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind, we must speed up the progress!"

As the pirate wave surges, the navy's decline has become apparent, and the pressure to fight against pirates has gradually shifted to the participating countries.

He is bound to win Alderney!

"Tap Tap!"

In front of Hawkins' manor, five thousand members of the Guard were ready to go, quietly waiting for Hawkins' instructions.

Whoa!

Pressing his right hand in the air, a straw-woven observatory rose from the ground, dozens of meters high, and Hawkins jumped on it.

"Oh, the view is very broad!"

I took out the telescope and looked at it. I could see the scene two kilometers away.

……

Stoke family residence,

"Boom boom boom!"

Deafening roars came one after another, and dozens of cannons aimed at the castle and began bombarding them indiscriminately.

"kill!"

At the same time, more than [-] pirates roared into the outside of the castle and fought with the guards of the Stoker family.

Blood splatters!

In just a few minutes, the soil on the ground was soaked in blood and turned dark red. People fell down every second.

Cannonballs roared, bullets flew across the field, and the sound of weapons clashing echoed throughout the battlefield. The entire castle was enveloped in a sea of ​​red fire!

"Asshole, where did these pirates come from? Why wasn't there an alarm? You losers and losers!" the patriarch of the Stoker family roared angrily.

Although pirate attacks on towns have become more frequent since the Great Pirate Era, this is the first time such a large-scale robbery has occurred.

In the past, even the most daring pirates would only attack civilians and would never attack the two powerful families!

"Clan...Clan leader, those pirates came from the south, from the territory of the Basil family."

The guard commander said with an aggrieved look.

You can't blame him, who would have thought that those pirates would bypass the Basil family!

Although the two families are rivals of each other, they also serve as barriers to each other. Because of the relationship between the Basil family, the south is the area where their security is weakest.

Hearing this, the head of the Stoke family gritted his teeth angrily: "Family Basil!"

Even a fool can see that the Basil family is definitely colluding with those pirates.

Although their escort team expanded to 3000 people, while the pirates only had 500 people, they were caught off guard because of the sudden incident.

After this time, I'm afraid it would be good if there are only 1000 people left!

Thinking of this, the Stoke family patriarch's heart bleeds. They spent a lot of money to train these guards.

It’s all Pele!

While they were talking, the guards of the Stork family had gradually reversed the situation and began an orderly counterattack.

Compared with the chaotic and disorganized pirates, the well-trained guards not only cooperate with each other tacitly and follow orders and prohibitions, but also have greater advantages in large-scale wars!

the other side,

Hawkins shook his head, feeling a little disappointed.

Even the pirate group he carefully selected could only reach this level. They obviously had such a huge first-mover advantage, but they were taken back so quickly.

"It's really troublesome."

boom!

Hawkins picked up a pistol and without hesitation put it to his temple and pulled the trigger.

The clouds were lingering, a wisp of red clouds hit Hawkins' face, the sky was dyed blood red, and the brilliant sunset bloomed on the horizon.

The sun is almost setting!

……

"Patriarch!!!"

Seeing the figure lying in a pool of blood, the Stoke family hall suddenly became a mess.

Just now, their clan leader was suddenly shot and killed. The strange thing is that no one found the shooter.

thump!thump!

The familiar sound of falling to the ground sounded again, and the originally noisy hall fell silent.

"Moll——"

"Lan Xi——"

In the blink of an eye, the patriarch's two sons also fell down, exactly the same as the patriarch's death.

This scene exceeded everyone's expectations and exceeded their psychological endurance.

No longer caring about anything else, they saw these senior members of the Stork family running frantically toward the door, desperately trying to escape from this devouring room.

At this moment, the weak side of the nobles' characters was exposed. They were too satisfied with their current lives and they didn't want to die!

And their behavior also fell into the eyes of the fighting escort members.

Fear is spreading!

"Pfft!"

Brent killed a guard squad leader with a sword, led hundreds of 'pirates' to stabilize the rear, and methodically cleared away the Stoker family's guards and the escaping pirates.

Seeing the pirate reinforcements arriving, the Stoker family's escort team was filled with excitement. They did not expect that this group of pirates would be so large in number.

The situation suddenly came to a deadlock again!

"Brent, the casualties this time are not small. Almost all of those pirates are dead!"

Baker said with some pain.

The number of pirates is only about 1000, and the remaining 500 people and the reinforcements brought by Brent are all the guards of the Basil family.

If they continue, they will be completely annihilated!

Brent smiled solemnly: "Not only the pirates, these escorts are also the burial objects carefully selected by Master Hawkins."

"Most of them have unknown origins or have suspicious whereabouts. If they die, they will die. There is no pity!"

The Basil family's guard team suddenly expanded tenfold, attracting the attention of many forces, and many chess pieces were planted in it.

If someone kills someone wrongly, he won’t let it go.

I just took this opportunity to clean it all up!

"That is to say..."

"It's good that you know. When Master Hawkins leads people to rescue the Stoker family later, you must not be accidentally injured."

"After all, we are now pirates, and Master Hawkins is the hero who saves Alderney Island regardless of past grudges!"

Uh?

Baker was a little speechless, how could he become a pirate in the blink of an eye?

"Master Hawkins really wants us to be pirates here, and he will play the hero by himself. I want to be a hero too!"

Didn’t we say we were a family? The difference was huge!

"Only one hero is enough, too many are worthless, you idiot." Brent couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Precisely because there is only one hero, it is more charming and the legend about him is more intense.

Alderney is just the beginning, all they have to do is act as a qualified green leaf to make Hawkins' heroic deeds more eye-catching!

Hero stories are a common formula among the upper class.

Crocodile is in the Kingdom of Alabasta, Doflamingo is in the brutal Riku royal family, Boya Hancock is in the monster Gorgon of the Central Sea!

Their heroic deeds were widely circulated in their respective fields, and even if their real purpose was to seize power in a country, they were supported by everyone.

This is the charm of heroes!
