Chapter 401: Pirate Alliance
Gaya Island is a roughly U-shaped island with land on both sides and a bay in the middle.
However, few people know that this was actually a skull-shaped island four hundred years ago, but the face of the skull was carried up to the sky by the ocean current and became part of the sky island. Only the mouth and teeth were left.
The two ships of the AM Pirates and the Midnight Pirates, which had traveled together all the way, finally separated, one heading for the east coast and the other heading for the west coast, which were their respective territories.
Currently, the largest pirate groups on Gaya Island are the AM Pirates and the Midnight Pirates. The Midnight Pirates arrived on Gaya Island a few months ago and have fought many battles with the AM Pirates. Both sides suffered losses and both sides absorbed some new members.
Eventually, the Midnight Pirates occupied the villages and forests of the eastern peninsula of Gaya Island, and the AM Pirates occupied the Mogu Town area of the western peninsula. The two pirate groups entered a brief period of peace, but there was no major war, but small frictions continued. One day you beat up my people, and the next day I robbed your goods.
A battle like today's involving two hundred cadres is already considered large-scale. If the Amber Travel Group had not been scared away halfway, it might have turned into a major war.
At this moment, Spud Wild's ship was docked on the coast of the western peninsula of Gaya Island, with four large ships and five or seven small boats docked next to it.
The pirates who came to greet him saw that Wyle's ship was seriously damaged and asked in surprise: "Master Wyle? Why is it so... Is the firepower of the merchant ship very strong this time?"
Spud Wyle was in no mood to explain, so he asked directly, "That's not the question. Where is the big sister?"
"The two big sisters are in the tavern in the center of town. You..."
"I don't have time to explain to you. Anyway, cheer up, there might be a fight." Spud Wild hurried to the bar.
"Fighting? Is it those bastards from the Midnight Pirates again?" The confused pirates chased after those who knew the situation on the ship and asked.
"No, this time someone even more ruthless has arrived." Those who knew the situation looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and when they talked about what happened, they didn't even bother about corporate culture.
When Spider-Wiel arrived at the tavern, it was as chaotic as ever, with pirates clinking glasses, laughing, and shouting loudly.
Two women with pretty faces and proud figures were sitting on one side of a long table in the center of the tavern. Opposite them were two burly men whose arms were thicker than their legs. The four of them were... arm wrestling.
"Come on, Kate'ai, Katebi!"
"Don't lose to the big sister!"
"Idiot, how can anyone win the title of Big Sister!"
These two big sisters are Bonnie Anne and Reed Mary. The similarity is that they are both wearing men's shirts and trousers, and the openings of their shirts are somewhat difficult to button. The difference is that Anne wears a pirate captain's tricorn hat and has two swords hanging around her waist, while Mary wears a dark headscarf and has two guns on her waist.
They both looked down on the "ordinary and cowardly people" near their hometowns, so they chose to go out to sea. Originally, they were dressed more thoroughly in men's clothing, the kind of Le Ping, but after going out to sea, they miraculously met each other, and gradually began to not care about this little thing.
With the dual swords and dual guns in their hands, no one dares to look down on them just because they are women. By the way, the corporate culture of the AM Pirates was brought up by the two of them.
"Those who dare to resist are worthy of my serious treatment with weapons. Those who dare not resist are all cowards, and of course I must curse them harshly."
This is what Annie said at first, but after the formation of the pirate group, things gradually became strange. The people below always seemed to be always scolding without thinking about anything else...
At this time, both of them had a relaxed look on their faces. On the contrary, the two strong brothers opposite had sweat on their foreheads and trembling arms, but they still gritted their teeth and refused to give up.
Anne and Mary looked at each other. They admired people who refused to admit defeat, and then they used their hands to end the competition.
"Oh!!! The big sister is so strong!"
"Brother Abby is such a loser!"
"Did you forget to eat breakfast?"
The pirates erupted in cheers and laughter.
The two brothers slapped the table and said, "Bullshit, come here if you dare!"
Annie stood up and put her feet on the stool: "You want to beat me with this little strength? Practice for another hundred years!"
Neither she nor Mary had the habit of calling themselves "old lady". They always just said "this is me".
Mary slammed two wine glasses on the table as she moved: "Drink! Three glasses! Mix the three kinds of wine together!"
A green-haired girl came over with a bottle of wine, smiling, and poured the wine, mixing one third of each according to the boss's request.
Brother Abby raised his glass with a bitter face, ton ton ton...
A man at the door greeted Spudwyle: "What's got you in such a mess?"
"Scared?" Spud Wyle was startled and even dodged to the side. "Don't appear so suddenly all the time, Precious."
Wearing a hat and goggles, with half of his face covered by a scarf, leaving only his eyes exposed, Precious walked out of the shadows and said, "I'm sorry, but I should have said it many times. I'm a sniper and I'm used to standing in inconspicuous places."
"Yes, yes, it's my fault that I didn't learn my lesson." Apart from the two big sisters, Spud Wyle was most afraid to offend this person. He was worried that one day he would be boasting with a flamethrower on his back and suddenly get shot in the head. "You hold a sniper rifle while drinking. Aren't you afraid that the wine will spill and get wet?"
"Everyone is having too much fun. Someone has to stay alert." Precious retreated to the shadow of the door out of habit, but he forced himself to hold back and asked, "You haven't told me how you got into such a mess."
"Oh, we had a fight with the Midnight Pirates. It was all caused by that sinister bastard Alifu. If we hadn't suddenly found Amber in the middle of the fight..." Spud Wyle's face changed. "I was scared by you and almost forgot the important thing!"
Spud Wyle roughly pushed the crowd apart and stood in front of Anne and Mary who were looking for someone to play the next game. "Big sister! You can't be so leisurely any longer. The Amber Tour Group is almost arriving at Gaya Island! The Amber Tour Group that recently defeated Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
The tavern suddenly fell silent, and many hands that wanted to greet Spud Wyle froze in midair. A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. After Morgans' fierce publicity, the Amber Travel Group's deterrent power to the pirates has surpassed that of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Even the tavern owner who was wiping the wine glasses at the front desk paused. He had certainly heard of the reputation of the Amber Travel Group, a group that could be called the nemesis of pirates. It was said that no pirate had been able to escape from them since they set sail.
It is hard to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for such a big shot to come to Gaya Island, which is completely occupied by pirates. The tavern owner knows that this island is abandoned by the World Government, so it has naturally become a paradise for pirates. It is ironic that the economy of Mogu Town is completely supported by the pirates' spending.
Ever since the AM Pirates came here, fights and murders still frequently occur on the streets of Mogu Town, but most of the time they are just between pirates, while the civilians and merchants in the town are rarely harassed, and can even carry out production, work and purchasing as normal!
In the words of Anne and Mary, although it is annoying to see these restless and rebellious wimps, if we kill them all, no one will receive us even if we have money, so how can we have fun?
Due to this ridiculous reason, the residents of Mogu Town were lucky enough to survive. Apart from being scolded occasionally and getting beaten when bumping into pirates, they were not in any danger of life and did not have to worry about their money being robbed. The atmosphere of the whole town was very strange, even morbid.
Under such circumstances, the Amber Tour Group, the nemesis of pirates, suddenly came here. The tavern owner was a little overwhelmed. Out of fear that his stable life was about to change, he even hoped that the pirates would be safe.
The boss was shocked by his own thoughts. Pirates should be hated, right? Because even if they are relatively quiet in the town, they will always rob people everywhere. But...what does robbing others have to do with me? Isn't it good to live a stable life like this? At most, I will just be scolded, it doesn't matter. That tour group, why do they have to come to this place!
"Heh... here comes a group of troublesome people." Annie gulped down a glass of wine, a lot of wine dripped out from the corners of her mouth. She boldly wiped her mouth with her arm and slammed the glass on the table with a thud.
Everyone was awakened by the sound of wine glasses knocking on the table, and began to talk in a mess. Some talked about Crocodile's miserable condition, some talked about their deeds in the East China Sea, and some said that they had offended Flamingo too much, chopped Hawkeye, and even fought Jinbe...
Morgans had spent a lot of effort investigating the Amber Tour Group, and even dug up the fact that Zhang Da had been shipwrecked and drifted to the Sabaody Archipelago nearly a year ago. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not find out anything earlier, and the information about other people was even less than that of Zhang Da, and it felt like these people just appeared out of thin air.
The World Government and Morgans have the same feeling in this regard. They have no choice but to assume that they are from some unknown islands. After all, the ocean is so vast that many islands are not under their control.
These things were not something that these ordinary pirates could understand. They only knew that the Amber Tour Group was very strong. Even if they had 500 people, they would probably not be able to defeat those eight people plus two cats. No one knew about Vivi and Kalu yet.
" That's enough!" Mary, the second eldest sister of the AM Pirates, pulled out a musket and slammed it on the table. The noise in the tavern gradually quieted down. "You can only know whether you are strong or not after a fight. Fight like a man!"
Anne grinned, pulled out a machete and stuck it on the table. "If you are afraid of death, get out of here right away. If you are a hindrance when the battle starts, I will chop you off with my knife!"
The green-haired girl who had just helped pour the wine was the first to respond: "That's right, no matter what tour group it is, the big sister is the strongest!"
Spud Wyle showed a helpless expression. He had guessed that this would happen. However, since the big sister had made the decision, he could only grit his teeth and raise his arms: "That's right, kill them!"
"Oh!!!" The pirates' shouts almost shook the whole house.
Anne raised her hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then shouted, "Pureseth!"
She didn't know where Precious was hiding, but Anne knew that he would be there when everyone needed him.
Precious stood up from beside the tavern owner, holding a sniper rifle. He had just huddled in the corner of the front desk.
The tavern owner was startled. He didn't even notice that there was a living person at his feet. In fright, he threw the goblet in his hand away.
Precious took the goblet, placed it gently on the table, and said, "I'm here."
Annie ordered, "Go check out the situation first and find a suitable sniper position. If you have a chance to kill one or two, don't wait for my order."
"Yes." Precious held the sniper rifle and climbed out of the nearest window.
"Wyle, Fazhi, tell everyone to prepare for battle!"
"Yes!" Spud Wyer and the green-haired girl answered at the same time.
At this time, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and a group of uninvited guests rushed in, led by a hairy man who looked like Wolverine. A strange laugh came from his mouth: "Ka-ka-ka-ka, you are worthy of being a woman who has been against me for so long. Have you made up your mind so quickly?"
"Midnight!" Anne drew out her scimitar and Mary picked up her pistols, and they asked in unison, "What are you doing here?"
Not only Midnight, but also his four cadres were all present. In addition to the brothers Eliphant and Eliphu who had previously fought with Spud Wyer, there was also a man with an extremely ferocious face, and a man who was more handsome than most women.
The pirates from the AM Pirate Group in the tavern picked up their weapons and looked at the five intruders with unfriendly eyes.
Spud Wyer and the green-haired girl Fazhi, who were about to go out, also stopped and stood in front of Anne and Mary.
Midnight stared at Fazhi and said, "Isn't this Sister Fazhi? I haven't seen her for a few days. How about joining us? It would only be a waste of your abilities if you stayed with them!"
"You're dreaming!" Fazhi raised his hand as if he was going to activate his ability.
Mary pulled Fazhi behind her to protect her: "If you are here to provoke me, then that's great. I'll just deal with you as well today!"
"Kachaka... If you could get rid of us, you wouldn't have waited until today. Don't worry, we're not here to fight today." Midnight raised his hands to his chest to show that he meant no harm.
"Then what are you doing here? I'm very busy now and don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" Annie spoke bluntly, but she was thinking in her heart that if a fight broke out later, she would have to be on guard against these guys stabbing her in the back.
Midnight finally put away his joking face and said seriously: "Then I'll be frank with you. Let's form an alliance!"
Anne and Mary were stunned and said in unison: "You must be kidding!"
