Chapter 10

[CH28 is missing, and i have not been able to find it, but do not worry, it does affect the story, so i personally think that chapters were numbered wrong]

/CH10[29,30]/

Days later, the merchant ship was ready to leave, and the people on the merchant ship rushed back with their things one by one. After all, they were elite sailors who had been sailing on the sea for more than ten years. They were keenly aware of someone watching them in this small town. It seems that someone is already watching them.

So they have to leave early and don't give those who follow 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 is advancing at full speed, hoping to get rid of the pirates who are staring at them, but somehow, the old captain always has an undesirable premonition in such a heart.

"Oh, Captain, there is a pirate ship following us." The watchman on the merchant ship has been constantly observing. After knowing that pirates are watching them, he has been observing very seriously, mainly In the Direction behind the merchant ship, he finally found out that a pirate ship was approaching quickly.

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

The old captain is calm and not anxious, because he is prepared for such a situation in his heart, and he knows that the more you get to such a situation, the less you can be anxious, the more calm you must be to take the lead.

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

"Okay, I'll go see it again." Maybe the old captain's attitude affected him. The watchman quickly calmed down, put on his binoculars, and continued to look in the Direction of the pirate ship.

This time he watched very carefully, "Captain, it's a three-way sailing ship, and the pirate flag is painted with a wild wolf skull with flames." The watchman shouted.

When the old captain heard this, his face became a little heavy, and said, "It seems that we are ready to fight." The three sly sailing boat is the fastest type of ship on the sea, especially when it is downwind, its speed will be greatly accelerated.

At the speed of a three-way sailing ship, it does not take long to catch up with a merchant ship.

"Please check, which pirate group is this?" Beside him, there were two sailors. In front of them were piles of thick bounty orders. They were already ready.

"Yes, Captain." The two said in unison. After speaking, he quickly started, and kept looking at the reward order, which also contained information about the pirate groups.

This contains the reward list and related information of most of the pirate groups in the New World. Basically every merchant ship on the sea has such a thing.

"Then go down and let them prepare for battle." The old captain said in a deep voice.

"Boss Teach, shall we go out and take a look?" Mobyus asked. There was a lot of movement outside, and the movement of people could be heard in the room, as well as the sound of communication. He already knew that pirates were eyeing the merchant ship.

"Just take care of yourself, Mobyus, your current strength can only deal with some small pirates." Teach smiled, and continued his training. After hearing Teach's words, Mobyus nodded. Continue your own slap, with your arms constantly pulling towards the steel bar in front of you. This kind of slap is irregular and free. The arm position is Different each time, so you can exercise everywhere in your arm.

"Captain, I found it. This is the Fire Wolf Pirate Group, and Captain Hogg is a pirate with a bounty of 110 million." Finally, a sailor found it, and there was a reward order with them on the side. The pattern of the pirate regiment's flag was exactly the same as that described by the lookout.

On the other side, at the bow of the Pirate Group 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 be a big pirate soon. Then leave this small place. As for you, it is for me to realize the final value."

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

Since he got the news of that thing, he took the pirate group to this small island and waited for the merchant ship to come. He Didn't wait for the merchant ship within the scheduled time. He had already given up. After another day, Unexpectedly, the merchant ship came, and even God was helping him.

The news of this thing was not told by anyone except himself, even the people on his own ship, as for other pirate groups, it is even more impossible.

This time he was the only pirate group who came here. With the strength of the merchant ship, their pirate group would definitely suffer heavy losses this time, but he was prepared for it. As long as he got that thing, he could become stronger and become stronger, when the time comes, the crew will changed and upgraded, and they will be much stronger than these wastes.

If he joins other pirate groups to come together, under absolute power, the loss will definitely be much smaller, but he is afraid that other pirate groups will take the prize from him. Although they don't know it, in order to avoid accidents, Then he started with his pirate group alone.

Those pirates who talked and laughed later, some were still dreaming about the benefits to be Distributed next, but they Didn't know that they had been given up by their boss long ago.

"hahaha! I Didn't expect that there would be such a good thing on the ship." Teach thought happily while training. He was also a little strange. How could this pirate group stare at this merchant ship. Before leaving, he felt a lot. The prying eyes were all watching the merchant ship. A group of pirates united and stared at the ship, but he Didn't expect that there was only one group of pirates.

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

Then, what is the important thing in the merchant ship, even if the Fire Wolf Pirates have to pay a heavy price, they still have to get it. He took a straight look at what he had seen before, and now he has an idea.

Teach began his own observation, and finally found it. It was the room of the person responsible for these goods. It was secretly protected by him. The things were hidden in his suitcase. His suitcase was large and full of it. Clothes and pants, and in the suitcase, there is a very secret second layer, a devil fruit is hidden in it, the uneven surface, the weird pattern, because he Didn't see it with his own eyes, Teach couldn't recognize what it was.

"Store things there first." Yes, in Teach's heart, this devil fruit already belongs to him, and he Didn't expect that his luck would be so good. Within a few days, encountered a devil fruit, a devil fruit that can still be easily obtained.

"Damn, how can there be a pirate group with a bounty of more than 100 million in this small place, and they are still eyeing the merchant ship." In the room, the owner of the cargo gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

The suitcase containing the devil fruit was placed by the window. It was very normal and there was nothing to hide. If it was hidden too deep, it might cause others to suspect it.

He is very anxious now, "No, this devil fruit is absolutely impossible to lose, even if the whole ship is sacrificed." As he said, a sullen look flashed in his eyes.

This devil fruit is very precious, and it was auctioned by the Chamber of Commerce elsewhere. In order to avoid being caught by the big pirates and snatching the devil fruit, the Chamber of Commerce secretly sent the devil fruit to him, and wanted to use him to deliver the devil fruit back.

So when he was transporting the goods, he chose this remote route with weaker pirates' overall strength. He also chose to sail in this sea area with a very reputable old captain, but he Didn't expect Still there is a problem.

This devil fruit represents his life and future. The full name of the Chamber of Commerce is "Kate Chamber of Commerce". Obviously, 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 Chamber of Commerce has a country as a backing, strong, and he is just a small principal in the Chamber of Commerce, a very inconspicuous role. As the person who transported the Devil Fruit, he knew some inside stories. This Devil Fruit was hand-picked by a royal family in the Kate Kingdom and was very important.

Once he successfully returns this demon fruit to Kate's kingdom, he will take off completely, and his position will surely rise. It's not a dream to become the chief executive of the management side, even the upper level of the chamber of commerce. If you are lucky, you can still Becoming a confidant of the royal family, this is his chance to change his destiny.

Therefore, he does not allow any failure. If the devil fruit is taken away, then death must be waiting for him here. Even if he survives by chance, death is waiting for him after returning to Kate kingdom. He has no choice. The reason Put the suitcase in the window, he can eat the devil fruit after failure, then jump into the sea, and bury himself in the sea with this ability.

As for escaping after eating the devil fruit, he never thought about it. Let's not say whether he has such qualifications. It is not that he can become stronger after eating the devil fruit. This still needs to be developed. Some are self-aware. Besides, he couldn't imagine how terrifying the power of a big country was.

"hahaha! It's really interesting!" The supervisor in the room never thought that everything about him would be explored.

That's right, it's Teach. He has developed to the smallest details his observation haki, and has never had any special abilities. Teach couldn't think of any special abilities. Instead, it played many roles in assistance, such as looking at truths with micro-expressions, his ultimate analytical power, and it also strengthens Teach's control of the body.

These are achieved by Teach's own development of using observation haki, but observation haki itself does not have special abilities, unlike the infectious power and mind-reading skills of those born with observation haki.

Since the encounter with the ant king, the communication with him seems to have opened a new door for Teach. He perceives thoughts and emotions through observation haki. Although there are reasons for the king to communicate with himself, but Teach feels himself can do. Perceiving thoughts by perceiving the fluctuations of emotions, combined with Teach's micro-expression, is somewhat like mind reading, although it is a little bit worse.

But compared with Red Earl's mind-reading skills, his bug-level ability, even memories can be stolen, is also the most terrifying ability in Teach's eyes.

Teach felt very interesting. The two people are on two sides. Hogg, the captain of the Fire Wolf Pirates, and the cargo owner of the merchant ship, have the same idea, that is, they have the idea of ​​getting everything, even if it is a loss.

"Ivan, Ivan!" The voice of the old captain came from outside. Ivan, the chief of the cargo in the merchant ship, heard it. He recovered and controlled his expression with an ugly expression on his face.

"Old Captain, can't you avoid these pirates?" Ivan worried. "No, 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 to win the battle, take out the three artillery in the warehouse for use. Well, there are some shells and guns, which should enhance the combat power of the ship."

Unexpectedly, Ivan would actually take out the arms for them. The old captain was very touched, "Ivan, thank you." After saying that, he left, because the battle was about to begin, and he came here this time to notify Ivan, but Didn't expect such a surprise.

In fact, these munitions were sent on board for such a situation. Otherwise, how could the precious munitions be put on this small merchant ship. You must know that the delivery of munitions is not on a piece-by-piece basis but on a batch-by-batch basis. Sent in batches, each batch of ships carrying arms, there are a large number of elite soldiers guards, as well as strong guards, ordinary pirates encounter, will be wiped out.

"Little ones, prepare for the battle." Hogg shouted.

"Captain, don't you bomb the merchant ship with artillery first?" a pirate next to him asked. However, what awaited him was a slap that flew in. The powerful force slammed his face fiercely. The whole body flew more than ten meters away. The whole body turned several times in mid-air, and then fell into the sea. .

"If a merchant ship sinks, what should we do with our cargo?" Hogg yelled. In fact, what he thought in his mind was, if a merchant ship sinks, what would happen to his devil fruit? Maybe it sinks into the sea. After that, I couldn't find it, and everything I had was wasted.

The pirates all around couldn't help but shudder when they saw it, "As expected of the boss, just thoughtful." They boasted one by one, slapped the fire wolf Hogg's ass.

Soon, the two ships met, less than 50 meters apart. Somehow, the Firewolf Pirates Didn't fire. "Since there was no fire, I was probably afraid that our merchant ship would be destroyed. That's right." The old captain saw Firewolf Pirates Didn't fire the cannon, and quickly guessed Hogg's thoughts, and was very happy. This sea ship has been with him for more than ten years and has reached the age when he should retire. But for so many years, it has Feelings, don't want it to be destroyed and sunk by artillery.

"Everyone prepare, aim, fire, fire!" The old captain shouted in one go.

As soon as the battle started, the members of the Fire Wolf Pirate Group were ready for the battle, and then make a big kill and snatch the cargo from the merchant ship.

Suddenly, there was a "boom" and a cannon sound came, it was like a signal. There were two more cannon sounds. Three artillery shells shot at the pirate ship. At such a close Distance, the pirates Didn't respond, even Hogg Didn't react, the explosion sounded at close range, two of the shells Directly penetrated the hull, and two explosions appeared below.

The most important one fell Directly on the deck of the ship. Seeing the falling cannonball, a trace of fear flashed in their eyes, turned around and was about to escape, the cannonball had exploded. Most of the pirates of the Fire Wolf Pirate Group stayed on the deck, preparing for the battle, and they all gathered together, which caused huge casualties.

There was a violent explosion and a strong smell of gunpowder. A large pit was Directly blown out from the deck of the ship. The deck began to burn. The impact of the strong explosion knocked many people down, and the pirates who were affected by the artillery fire at close range.

Hogg was a little stunned. "Why can there be artillery on this ship?" There was such a big damage on the boat before he shot it. You don't need to look at it, Hogg can guess that more than ten people Died, and there are still twenty. Many people were injured, and the deterrent power of artillery is still very strong on the sea.

But shortly afterwards, there was a hint of excitement and excitement in Hogg's eyes. This merchant ship even had artillery, so the devil fruit must be on this ship.

Immediately afterwards, a few more shells came Directly. Hogg saw him, knowing that he couldn't cause any more damage, and made a light leap, adjusting his body in mid-air, using his armed haki, the shell was kicked to the side and into the sea.

Seeing Hogg's shot and kicking the cannonball Directly into the sea, the pirates of the Fire Wolf Pirates cheered, "Haha, you deserve to be the captain." "Give me all, ready for the battle." Hogg Shouted, at this time the two ships were only 20 meters apart. Hearing Hogg's words, these pirates had no fear. A merchant ship was nothing but the that artillery attacked them. Facing their Fire Wolf Pirates without the artillery, it was very Hard, The one who will be killed soon is the merchants.

On the merchant ship, there was cheers, which caused great losses to the Firewolf Pirates. This battle started well. "Don't be happy too early, now the shells are useless, after all, they are ferocious pirates, and their number is more than twice ours, and they are all ready to fight."

"Ka!" "Boom!" The pirate ship of the Fire Wolf Pirate Group slammed into the keel of the merchant ship. The Pirate Ship of the Fire Wolf Pirate Group was smaller than the merchant ship, but the hull was smaller. Even stronger, the entire keel of the merchant ship was knocked apart, and the two ships were Directly handed over together.

"Kill, kill, kill!" One by one, pirates armed with weapons or muskets, jumped from the pirate ship to the merchant ship, and killed the guards and sailors who had been prepared.

However, what they are about to face is a cold muzzle. After obtaining these guns, the equipment on the entire merchant ship can be said to be a shotgun change. In a short time, many pirates were shot mercilessly.

But these pirates have gone through a lot of battles in the new world. They are just guns, which is just trouble for them. What they really rely on is close combat. And their numbers also have an advantage.

"Mobyus, you go up and fight them too." Teach looked at Mobyus on the side and said, watching the battle outside, Mobyus was already a little bit ready to move.

Hearing Teach's words, Mobyus glanced at Teach. "Then Teach boss, how about you?"

"hahaha! Of course I am covering you, be careful, don't Die." Teach haha ​​smiled and drew his black and white guns from his waist.

Mobyus was moved, holding a long knife, and ran up. He was lucky, and happened to meet a pirate, "Little baby, are you here to Die? Haha!" This sea The smiled, holding a machete in his hand, and slashed towards Mobyus. Mobyus jumped to the side, avoiding the knife, and slashed away with a backhand, but was resisted by the pirate's long knife.

"Boy, you are still too tender." The pirate laughed and formed a pressure on Mobyus. Mobyus held a knife in one hand to support it. Listening to the pirate's words, he couldn't help but smile, suddenly, there was an unknown premonition in the thief's heart. Suddenly, a snake-shaped arm was wrapped around his neck, and it was tightly strangled.

The pirate's face was flushed and it was a little hard to breathe. Mobyus seized the opportunity, pushed his knife aside and then dropped it, and looked at the pirate's wrist fiercely, "Ah. !" With a scream of pain, the long knife in his hand fell off from his hand. Immediately after that, Mobyus Directly inserted a knife into his abdomen, and his whole body fell to the ground, already dead.

At this moment, behind him, a pirate walked quietly with a long knife, holding the long knife in both hands, lifting it high, facing Mobyus, and slashing down. Hearing the movement, Mobyus turned his head and saw the long knife that had fallen, unable to avoid it.

Mobyus couldn't help closing his eyes. With a gunshot of "Touch!" Mobyus thought of Boss Teach's words and opened his eyes. A blood hole appeared in the center of the pirate's eyebrows. Then, It was kicked and fell to the ground.

"Be careful, Mobyus, always pay attention to your surroundings when fighting." Teach is not here, but Teach's voice was heard in Mobyus' ears.

"Yeah." Mobyus nodded. He had really felt the crisis of life just now. If it weren't for Teach, he would have Died. He would remember the lesson this time in his heart, and he won't commit it again next time.

Then, Mobyus began to look for the next target of the battle, and Teach couldn't help but smile, man, only through experience can he grow up.

There were battles everywhere on the ship, usually two pirates also dealt with a guard or sailor, and Hogg was dragged by the old captain. Mobyus grew very fast, in a short time, he had killed seven pirates. The killing became more and more decisive, and his actions became more and more sharp.

A pirate was hacked to death. He was noticed by three pirates. They were together before and killed three guards in a row. Mobyus also paid attention to the three pirates walking towards him. These pirates are not weak, Mobyus relies on his own snake hand to deal with two of them, but if dealing with three of them, it will be a little unsuccessful and Hard to support.

Can't help taking two steps back, but how could they let go of the prey they were staring at, one of them stared at Mobyus's movements, and the other two quickly ran to the rear on both sides of Mobyus and forced Mobyus. There is no way out.

"If that's the case, then I can only fight." Mobyus exhaled, thinking in his heart.

While the three pirates were staring at him, they planned to play around with their free time, "Kaka Kaka!" Mobyus quickly loosened his joints, and bursts of pain were transmitted to the brain nerves, but Mobyus's face does not change.

What is he doing? Self-harm? The three pirates had not seen such a situation during their voyage in the sea. At the moment when they were stunned, Mobyus seized the opportunity and started to do it, and ran two steps towards the pirate in front of him. near.

"Snake Hand Entangling." Mobyus's snake hand instantly wrapped around the pirate's right hand holding the knife, his left arm forcefully pulled back the left arm that was wrapped around his right arm.

Because of Mobyus's strength, his body can't help taking a step forward, and what he will usher in is a sharp, blood-stained knife, which pierced his heart in an instant.

"Boy, you go to Die." The remaining two were stunned. They Didn't expect Mobyus to attack when they were surrounded by the three. They felt insulted, holding a long knife and rushing Directly to Mobyus, but they are not fools. After seeing Mobyus's weird means to grow his arms, he felt a little wary in his heart.

One left and one right, Distracting Mobyus, this is their way of coping, but Mobyus is not afraid at all. He feels that he uses the snake hand to fight more and more smoothly, but there is still a lot of freedom from control.

He picked up the long knife of the dead pirate. Two long knives can increase the range of Mobyus' attack. They are a good tool before he conducts further training on the snake hand.

With both hands stretched out, with a machete in his hand, they kept slashing at them at strange angles, facing Mobyus's fast knife skills, they kept resisting and avoiding.

However, Mobyus' attacks like this have weaknesses. Although such attacks are messy and have no fixed trajectory, as long as the trajectory of his arm is grasped, his attack can be inferred, and he has one of the most important ones. His weakness is his arm. Before he learns to be armed haki, he must be careful.

The strength of these two pirates is similar to that of Mobyus. Although Mobyus' offense was very strange, it Didn't hurt them. Soon they gradually adapted to such an attack during the battle. Under such a situation, Mobyus had noticed it, and was anxious in his heart, looking for a way to break the game.

"Then solve one first." There was a decision in his heart, and his left arm twitched fiercely. Facing the blow, the pirate on the left Didn't resist, and jumped a step back to avoid the blow. However, this was exactly the purpose of Mobyus. He retracted to the right, attacked to the right, and rushed forward to the right. Faced with the attack of Mobyus's double swords, the pirate panicked, with two arms. Suddenly he was chopped twice and was killed by Mobyus.

At this moment, the pirate on the other side, saw his companion Die again, and slashed at Mobyus' chest. Mobyus would not make the same mistake again. He noticed his movements.

But it was Hard for him to avoid it. There was a ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, and he turned sideways to the back. The knife slashed on his chest, with a cut of 30 cm from top to bottom.

But he Didn't shout, gritted his teeth and snorted, his left hand was wrapped around his right arm holding the knife, and the tip of the long knife held in his left hand was pressed against the pirate's neck, almost piercing his neck. This is not the end. His right hand has moved, and he pierced his abdomen with a knife, which is also Mobyus' favorite attack method.

With such an injury, Mobyus could no longer fight, so he quietly returned to the room. Along the way, he saw several corpses, all of which were pirates, with exactly the same blood holes on their head, between their eyebrows.

He knew that this was made by Teach's boss, because the bullet holes on the surrounding walls were all shot out of Teach's room.

They all hit the center of their eyebrows, and you can see that Teach's marksmanship and horrible knowledge of haki are terrifying. Now Mobyus is no longer the novice he used to be. He only knew a little about these before, but in these days Here, during training, Teach will also explain some things on the ocean to Mobyus, explain haki and swordsmanship.

After all, Mobyus won't be with Teach forever, Teach doesn't allow it either. He still has to return to the Whitebeard Pirates, and Mobyus has to learn to himself.

Back to the room, Teach was closing his eyes, but he had been watching a battle with haki. It was the battle between the old captain and Hogg. It was very fierce, but Hogg still had the upper hand.

The strength of the old captain is equivalent to a pirate with a bounty of 100 million Baileys in Teach's eyes, and Hogg is younger and stronger than him, both in strength and stamina, plus old age. Resilience has declined, and the injuries suffered on Devil's Island have not recovered.

Two battles with a bounty of almost 100 million are naturally not enough to attract Teach's attention.

Teach's main concern is the Fire Wolf Hogg's boxing method, and his Fire Wolf fist is also the origin of his title.

Fire Wolf Hogg's boxing technique is physical art, using his fists to hit with flames. This method has a high reference effect for Teach. Like Teach's claw method, although it uses the sword move to enhance the power of the claw method, it still uses The hand and can't cut with such a powerful force as the sword move, always weaker by one to two percent. There needs to be a close point between the two. As long as you find this point, the sword and the claws are completely integrated.

So, Teach is observing, observing Hogg's movements, observing his breathing and observing the way his body exerts force when he uses the fire wolf fist.

After a long time, the battle was halfway through. The following battle can be said to be evenly matched, the two sides were killed and injured more than half, mainly because of the battle between the old captain and Hogg. The chief Ivan was watching the battle in secret, and was very nervous. There are five guards guarding him. He hopes that the old captain can win, but he has made a final plan if needed.
