Chapter 629: Pirate Hunter
Jedgar Island, 'Black Bullet' Tavern.
Looking up at the tavern he had visited before, Xifa found that the tavern seemed to have just been expanded, the floor area of the first floor had doubled, and there were a lot more street girls outside the tavern.
I don't know if he remembered the experience in the 'Red Theater', O'Neill's expression became a little unnatural, and Xifa glanced at him indiscriminately, sincerely hoping that the adjutant would not leave any psychological shadow.
Compared to the last time, you have to show the momentum of charging to escape the 'claw' of those girls. This time, Church opened the way ahead, allowing Sifer and O'Neill to open the door calmly and enter the dimly lit bar.
Boatswain Nelson has already taken people to replenish supplies, and Sifa, Church, and O'Neill came to the bar to relax, and to collect some recent maritime news.
As for Lin Rui, Xifa left him in the captain's cabin and let Kardashian stare at him secretly.
As soon as he entered the bar, Sifa heard shouts.
"Look for him."
"beat him."
He heard the reputation and looked around, only to find that there was an extra ring in the bar. A boxing match was being held on the ring. Two boxers were struggling to attack their opponents. These two boxers were obviously locals. Their moves were not very interesting, but The fight was hard enough, punching to the flesh, causing each other to bleed profusely, with bruised noses and swollen faces.
But it was this desperation that made the alcoholic onlookers gather around the ring like sharks smelling blood, betting constantly, making the atmosphere in the bar extremely lively.
Xifa glanced at Church, the gray-haired man nodded knowingly, ordered a glass of beer from the bartender, then walked to the corner of the bar, separated from Xifa, in order to collect more news or rumors.
Sifa and O'Neill sat down at the bar, took out 5 soli, and said with a smile: "I want to bet."
There are many customers betting in the bar, but the single bet is usually only 1 soli or 2 soli. There are not many customers who bet 5 soli like Xifa at once. The bartender immediately took out a notebook and carefully recorded the betting of Xifa boxer.
Xifa didn't care much about winning or losing. After betting, he ordered two glasses of beer, and then asked, "What's the situation with Yedegar now?"
For wealthy guests, the bartender is always willing to say more: "When was the last time sir?"
"It was still when Mr. Yedegar ruled the island." Sifa took a sip of the beer, only to feel that it was as light as water.
The bartender leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Yedegar has passed away, and his power has been disbanded. The Church of the Storm intends to build a church on the island, but not many people like it."
"Then who is managing the island now?"
The bartender shook his head: "No one is in charge, but Ruen and Fusac's warships have appeared nearby, but after the New Year, Fusac's warships have not appeared again, and Loen's warships still pass nearby from time to time."
"In my opinion, sooner or later this place will become the same colony as the Ross Islands, but the locals prefer to be in charge by themselves, but they are arguing over who should be the leader, and there will be no results within a few months .”
Holding a glass of wine, Xifa has some understanding of the situation on Jedga Island.
After Yedgar's death, his power collapsed, and the intervention of the Church of the Storm made the Rose School of Thought choose to back down, so Yedgar Island became a land without owner.
This island is located on a safe route, whether it is used as a material supply point or an information distribution center, it has a certain role, and Loen and Fusac naturally don't want to miss it.
If the plan of the Fusacs to surprise Pulitzer Harbor was successfully implemented at that time, Jedga Island must have fallen into their hands now, but after the plan was aborted, the Feysac Empire was forced by international pressure and could only restrain itself. The fleet, so the warships that had been haunting nearby never appeared again.
But Ruen wants to take this island without bloodshed, it's probably impossible. The local aborigines on the island have strong xenophobic sentiments, so the final result is either that Loen sends troops to suppress Jedgar, or alienates the aborigines on the island. Let them internalize to a certain extent, and then take it all down.
If considering the feelings of the residents on the island, Loen could set up a puppet government and let the local natives manage it themselves, and Loen could control it secretly.
At this moment the boxing match was over, and some of the drunkards cheered and some cursed.
"Unfortunately, sir, the boxer you bet on lost." The bartender said regretfully.
Naturally, Xifa didn't care. The drunkards who were watching in the arena scattered all over the place. They sat scattered on the bar counter, or sat on nearby chairs. They refilled their glasses with beer, and then exchanged various rumors and news.
"There have been ghost ships haunting the sea recently, you guys better be careful."
"What ghost ship? Is there any treasure on board?"
"Believe it or not, someone saw it with his own eyes. According to him, it was late at night, and suddenly thick fog rose on the sea, and then a huge sailing ship with the height of a seven or eight-story building appeared on the sea."
"It's so tall, isn't it still bigger than the 'Death'? I thought it was the largest sailing ship on the sea."
"The biggest ship should be Loen's ironclad ship."
"You're right, but mind you, we're talking about sailboats now."
"You guys, don't interrupt, there is a skull of a suspected sea beast hanging on the bow of that ghost ship. Just one skull is half the size of a normal sailing ship"
"Isn't the iron-clad ship a ship? I heard that Loen is going to use it to attack the four kings of the sea."
"Yeah?"
Obviously, people no longer paid attention to the ghost ship, and their interest quickly focused on the ironclad ship and the four kings of the sea.
The "ghost ship" Xifa remembered the "Celeste" mentioned by Captain Ken Angus, and recalled that the ship was suspected of being polluted by the "Celeste", the sailors on the ship turned into monsters, and their bodies were covered with various conch shells , the terrible appearance of crawling sea cockroaches.
There are many legends about the 'ghost ship' on the sea, but the most frightening one is the 'Celeste'. It's a pity that Xifa has never seen it, so he can't compare it with what he heard, and can't confirm whether the ghost ship discussed by those people just now is 'Celeste'.
At this moment, there was a 'bang' from the bar.
Xifa looked up, and saw a blue-eyed man in his thirties, dressed as an adventurer, and slammed a wine glass on the bar counter: "Do you know who I am? I am the first mate on Hunter Rayleigh's ship. Do you know who Rayleigh is? That's right, it's the one recently called the 'Pirate Hunter', who specializes in hunting pirates. Our captain has killed Admiral Deep Sea and repelled Admiral Hell. Haven't you heard of it? "
Immediately, a rainbow spewed out of Sifa's mouth.
When did I kill Vice Admiral Deep Sea?
