Chapter 1444 Extra 2: Courage 11 (Thanks to the Leader of the Alliance, Riri Yeye)
Chen Fan held the saber and tried to wave it twice, but at this time he happened to catch up with a big wave.
As people who have been making a living on the sea all year round, the pirates have long been accustomed to such wind and waves. They all stood upright and motionless.
On the other hand, Chen Fan stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
So the pirates burst into cheerful laughter again. Life at sea is boring, and gambling is not allowed on the ship. There is not much fun to be had. Now even some pirates who were not here originally were attracted by the laughter, and the number of people increased. More and more came, and in the end, all the pirates who could not leave their posts except for the fact that they still had work to do, basically all the pirates who could come came.
People waved their fists to cheer for the pirate who volunteered to fight, "Toby, kill him! Let him know what a real man is!"
"You'd better end the fight within three moves!"
"Look at this poor boy, he can't even stand firmly. This can't be his first time going out on a boat!"
Listening to the abuse and laughter around him, Chen Fan shrank his head subconsciously, and the thought of shrinking came up in his heart. He only saw that the size of the guy opposite was almost twice his size, and at a glance After a long battle, this battle cannot be won no matter what.
Chen Fan knew that his old habit had relapsed, and he couldn't help but get timid at critical moments. Even though his sword skills had reached lv3, if Chen Fan remembered correctly, Zhang Heng's sword skills when he left the Black Sail copy The skill is lv3.
Although there is a gap between lv3 and lv3, especially the one he has trained directly and the one he obtained directly by cheating, the real power is definitely completely different, but the opponent he is facing now is not Zhang Heng, just a passerby pirate.
Chen Fan, whose name is Toby, has no memory at all in the original work. I don’t know if he joined later, or if he has always been in the pirate group, but has a small role with no role.
In short, his position in the original work is about the same as that of Chen Fan. It is fair for everyone to be a stranger to a stranger.
And Chen Fan now has a golden finger. If he doesn't dare to fight in this battle, he might as well just jump into the sea.
Therefore, although he was scared, Chen Fan still put on a posture, which was quite impressive with the bonus of lv3 sword skills. Annie narrowed her eyes when she saw his posture.
However, Toby, who was opposite him, still didn't care. He even put the knife back into his waist, indicating that he wanted to play with Chen Fan with his bare hands.
As a result, as soon as he made this move, Annie said, "Be careful, he is not as weak as you think."
Although Toby was a little dissatisfied, when the captain spoke he had to stop his showmanship, took out the saber from his waist again, gestured to the air twice, and then stopped being sloppy and rushed towards Chen Fan. .
Chen Fan immediately became nervous when he saw this, and his whole mind went blank again. All the strategies he had thought up before for facing the enemy were now forgotten, and all he could see was the trust that was coming like a bull. Compare.
From reading novels before, powerful masters have very strong auras and can suppress their opponents before taking action. However, Chen Fan did not expect that an inconspicuous little character like Toby could bring him a similar feeling. Can we only say that he is still too weak?
For a moment, Chen Fan felt that he was going to be doomed, and the surrounding pirates thought the same thing, because Chen Fan looked like he was frightened and kept standing there motionless.
But the cheers stopped suddenly the next moment, and the pirates seemed to have been choked by someone suddenly. Their eyes widened, and they couldn't believe what they saw.
Chen Fan was still standing there, shivering and looking like he was about to die.
However, the person who really finished the job was Toby, who was currently lying at Chen Fan's feet with his belly in his arms and a look of pain on his face.
The battle ended as quickly as everyone expected, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Several pirates who had a good relationship with Toby couldn't help but turned pale when they saw this. Then they drew out their weapons and rushed over to cut Chen Fan to the ground to avenge their friends.
But they were stopped by Annie before they started, "Toby is fine, he was just hit in the stomach by the back of the knife. Besides, we have to abide by the rules of duel."
The pirates calmed down, and then Annie looked at Chen Fan again, "What a great swordsmanship, I actually made a mistake before."
"…………"
Chen Fan didn't speak, not because he was trying to be cool, but because he didn't know what to say at all, because he was really frightened just now. That knife was purely an instinctive reaction of the body after equipping him with the lv3 sword skill. .
"And it seems that your sword skills are on the same path as mine. Maybe we can compete with each other if we have the opportunity in the future." The red-haired female pirate's eyes lit up, and she felt that her hands were a little itchy.
Chen Fan was shocked. His sword skills were originally stolen from Annie by using the power of a fox to fake a tiger's power. The master had already discovered the clues after just one move. If he really had a fight with Annie, his secret would definitely be exposed. Moreover, the fox faked the power of a tiger. The ability can only be activated once every three days, and it only takes effect for one hour each time.
Chen Fan couldn't guarantee that he would be able to draw sword skills next time.
But no matter what happens in the future, at least he has passed this level.
Taking advantage of the fact that all the pirates had arrived, Anne directly initiated a vote to admit Chen Fan and two other newcomers into the gang. What Chen Fan didn't expect was that Toby was the first to vote in favor.
Although this guy looked like a barbarian and had just lost to Chen Fan, he was surprisingly reasonable and had clear grudges. He felt that Chen Fan was being merciful when he only hit him in the stomach with the back of the knife. , so now I reciprocate the favor.
But with his initiative, the other pirates no longer had any objections to accepting Chen Fan. In the end, Chen Fan successfully got on board the pirate ship and got his wish to see those familiar names. The only thing that made him regret was that he could not see them. The legendary Jackdaw.
It is said that the ship fought with four naval warships half a month ago. In the end, it not only successfully escaped, but also sank a naval warship and sent a naval warship directly back to the dock for repairs. However, as a price, the Jackdaw also suffered a certain degree of damage. It was damaged and is currently being repaired in the pirates' secret base.
"I once met a man with the same skin color as you in the pirate port."
After the voting, Anne did not leave immediately and return to her captain's cabin. Instead, she said to Chen Fan, who had just boarded the ship, "He told me that he was just a passerby, but his presence here did have...a certain purpose." , and you, why are you trying so desperately to come to my ship?"
"I..." Chen Fan opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say that I was trying to survive for sixty days, but he swallowed it back because he realized that this was a good opportunity, so he changed his words, " I have heard of your reputation and know that you are a fearless person, but I am just the opposite, I am a very timid person, and I, I want to learn how to be brave from you."
After saying this, he looked at the red-haired female pirate with some anxiety and some expectancy.
However, Anne shook her head when she heard this, "If you want to learn how to be brave, then you have come to the wrong place. Sword skills and gunner skills may be taught, but bravery cannot be taught. I know what you are thinking. What, some people think that pirates are very brave because they are not afraid of death, stalk their prey on the vast sea, fight against wind and waves, and even dare to fight the navy."
"Isn't it still not brave to not be afraid of death?" Chen Fan asked doubtfully.
"Of course not," Anne said lightly, "Most people are just idiots. They despise their own lives and the lives of others. This has nothing to do with bravery. It can only be regarded as reckless at best."
"Ah, then...then what is bravery?" Chen Fan was confused.
"True bravery actually comes from fear." The red-haired female pirate looked into the boy's eyes, "Have you ever thought about what you are afraid of?"
"I...are afraid of too many things." Chen Fan said sarcastically.
"No, I mean what you're really afraid of."
"Uh... all those guys I can't beat?" Chen Fan thought for a moment and clenched his fists, "If I were as powerful as Zhang Heng and you, I wouldn't be afraid of anything anymore."
"Strength is of course important, but it is not the source of courage, because no matter how hard you exercise, there will always be forces stronger than you in this world. What are you going to do when you meet them? Will you kneel down and beg for mercy with tears in your eyes? "
"It's better than me now, just crying and begging for mercy when I meet some random passerby." Chen Fan thought of the evening three days ago and his embarrassing performance in front of the toilet, and couldn't help but feel discouraged. , "I am really afraid of being beaten and hurt."
"No one is afraid of pain, but there are things more terrifying than pain in this world." Annie said.
Chen Fan's heart moved, and he thought of his own regrets and frustrations these days. They were almost everywhere, filling all the gaps in his life like a tide, and they were about to swallow him up. If it weren't for After this incident, he might not accept the subsequent invitation and risk his life to participate in this dangerous game.
And knowing that Loki dug a hole for him, he still jumped in. Even with the golden finger, who knows how many rounds of the game he can survive. Chen Fan doesn't think that he, a passerby, can always have such good luck. You can draw the skill you want every time.
The red-haired female pirate's eyes seemed to be able to see through his thoughts. She spoke slowly and said, "Look, this is the price of retreating. Remember how you felt at that time. When you want to retreat next time, Just think about it again and see which one hurts more, the enemy's fist, or the precious things you will lose if you step back."
Thank you all for your support. I saw a lot of familiar names in League Leader. Today’s post is a bit longer, but it’s only one chapter. Everyone, go to bed early.
