Chapter 3 Harbour Town
It was in the afternoon.
Not far from St. Maarten.
A broken and smoking ship is sailing, and it can be seen that this ship has experienced a great battle.
A skull and two crossed blood-dropping axes are painted on the sails. You can tell at a glance that this is a specialty of the world of One Piece, one pirate!
on board.
"boom!"
A huge wound was drawn on his chest, and a strong man with a face full of flesh and a double axe kicked the mast fiercely. He was the leader of the Blood Axe Pirates, Blood Axe Czech, with a bounty of 20 million Bailey!
The wound was still dripping blood, and it could be seen that the injury was not long.
But he is not in the mood to care about this injury now, so he picked up a rag to wipe the blood, and said angrily: "Grass, what's wrong with the navy, they have to chase us and beat us to death!"
"I don't know, but we have to find a place to supply supplies quickly. It's better to change a boat. This boat won't last long! Otherwise, the navies behind will catch up again!" Bailey, the bounty is 13 million Bailey!
I saw him leaning against the armrest with a pale face, his left hand was broken at the root, the wound was just wrapped in white gauze, and blood was dripping out through the gauze.
He held a gun tightly in his right hand and did not dare to let go. At this time, only the gun could give him a sense of security.
Except for the two of them, most of their dozens of younger brothers are not feeling well. Almost all of them have wounds on their bodies and are in a state of embarrassment. Some of them even lie on the deck with a pool of blood under them, motionless. ,act recklessly!
After hearing Bailey's words, Czech's face suddenly became very ugly, and he asked the navigator, "Montgomery, how far is the nearest port?"
Montgomery was a navigator of the Blood Axe Pirates and the only person on the ship who was not injured.
But no one complained.
If it weren't for Montgomery's superb sailing skills and understanding of the terrain, they would not be able to get rid of the Navy.
"The closest to here is Blood Harbor Town, but it takes half a day's journey. Our ship won't last until then!" Montgomery frowned.
"What! What should I do then?" Czech said in surprise. Although it would be a dead end if it was chased by the navy, the result was the same when the ship sank at sea.
"There's a dangerous way to try!" Montgomery said, taking a deep breath of his cigar.
"In what way?" Czech asked quickly.
"Not far from here is a small kingdom called St. Martin, only about an hour away from here, but..." Montgomery hesitated.
"But what?" Czech asked anxiously, a little angry. In such a critical moment, just say anything directly.
"However, the kingdom of Saint Martin is surrounded by reefs, and there is only one port that can be accessed. Moreover, the nearby currents are turbulent, and they may be washed onto the reefs by the currents if they are not careful. There is only one month of entry and exit each year, and there is still one more month from that month. Many months!"
Montgomery explained it, and then said, "If I force it, I have less than 10% confidence that the ship will be able to drive in intact, and 30% confidence that the ship will not sink before entering! However, if there is an intact ship, I can drive it out with minor damage!"
Czech heard what he meant, as long as the ship sank after going in, they could grab another ship, then drive out and continue to escape.
As for staying, they didn't think about it. After all, how weak a kingdom is, should it have some troops?
If they looted and left before the kingdom reacted, there should be no problem. Once the kingdom reacted and sent a large number of troops, then they would probably have to fight hard!
Not to mention whether they can win or not, but with their current situation, it is best to fight less!
"Go in, if you don't go in, you will be dead. If you go in, there is still a chance!" Czech gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
"That's fine!" Montgomery nodded in agreement, and then his expression became more focused.
——
The harbour town is located to the north of the Kingdom of Saint Martin.
It is not far from the capital, and it only takes half a day to walk. After all, the entire Kingdom of Saint Martin is an island.
This is the only port in the Kingdom of Saint Martin.
The people of Harbour Town live by farming and fishing.
Although the port has only one month to go to sea, fishing is not a problem.
Perhaps because of the nearby reefs and currents, there are still many fish near Harbour Town, and there are also many people fishing for a living.
Eddie is one of them. He is nearly sixty years old. He has relied on his superb fishing skills to marry and have children all his life. Now that the children are older, they also rely on fishing for a living like him.
On this day, Eddie was still as usual, taking his beloved fishing rod to the port to fish, while his son took yesterday's catch to the market to sell, the two fathers and sons, one fishing and the other selling!
Since seven years ago, when Prince Arthur, no, now is King Arthur, his life has been getting better and better, and it can be said that everyone's life is getting better and better.
After a series of policies by King Arthur, all walks of life have flourished, people have become richer, and they have become more generous.
Usually, it would take him several days to sell out the fish that he caught a day, but now basically what he caught yesterday can be sold out today. That’s why the two of them cooperated like this.
"It's almost time to find a good girl for that stinky boy!" Eddie was catching a fish, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he imagined a better future!
At this time, he suddenly saw a ship heading towards the harbor town in the distance.
"Strange!" Eddie was a little puzzled. Harbour Town didn't have the annual sailing month. At this time, the boats inside couldn't get out, and the boats outside couldn't get in either!
When Eddie was confused, the boat outside suddenly accelerated and charged directly towards Harbour Town.
When the boat approached Harbour Town, Eddie could see the skull drawn on the boat.
Pirates?
This was Eddie's first thought.
Afterwards, he calmly looked at the pirate ship that was about to rush into the harbor town. He found something that calmed him even more. The pirate ship was still smoking and looked like it was going to sink.
Just kidding, for so many years, he has never seen a boat that can come in from outside on a day when it is not out of the sea. Instead, he has seen a lot of boats that did not come in because they missed the time, and in the end they had to turn around and leave.
Are you still trying to rush in with a small broken boat?
Sure enough, as he expected, as soon as the ship entered the point, it was immediately deflected by the current, and then the turbulent current continued to impact the pirate ship, and the pirate ship was impacted and slowly rotated.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
The turning channel of the pirate ship collided with the reef, and only the sound of the ship breaking was heard.
However, the crooked twist is still firmly floating towards the harbor town.
Until the port, it slowly sank.
Eddie suddenly seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened, and he was terrified. He didn't even want his beloved fishing rod. He turned his head and ran, while running, he shouted: "The pirates are coming!!!"
