beep——
beep——
The rapid whistle suddenly broke the silence of the night.
"There's gunfire, there's gunfire on the lower deck!"
"Emergency! Emergency!"
The quiet warship quickly woke up when the rapid whistle sounded, and the lights on the ship's upper deck suddenly pierced the darkness.
Brigadier General Browne, who was sleeping soundly, silently crawled out of bed and picked up the scimitar placed beside the bed. His straight face was full of dissatisfaction.
The officer who disturbed his sleep turned pale with fright, "Report to Your Excellency, Brigadier General, gunshots were heard from the prisoner level."
"Did you find out who fired the shot?"
"Um... the passage to the lower level is blocked, and many weapons are missing. It's an emergency, Brigadier-General!"
Brownie was silent for a while. He was so angry that he wanted to reprimand his subordinates, but he also understood that such venting would not help.
Standing up solemnly, his height of nearly two meters still felt a bit oppressive.
"Since we don't know who did it, let's kill half of the low-level bastards first."
"This is a tribute to my precious sleep time!"
Browne had already criticized the process of transporting prisoners.
In his opinion, the best way to deal with these heinous pirates is to directly execute them.
…
…
"Three seconds of reaction time..." Bucky tapped his fingers a few times, silently counting the time from the sound of the gunshot to the time the navy reacted.
It's ok.
Of course, a reaction is a reaction. It may take about ten minutes before someone is sent to investigate the situation. After all, he still left a lot of gifts.
The outer facade of the warship is made of steel, but the interior is still laid out like a large wooden sailing ship. The main deck is divided into four floors from top to bottom, and the second deck is the rest and living room for the sailors.
The third deck is the cargo area. Bucky, Arne, and Moussa were also left in this area. I don't know if it's because these three people are too weak, or because there is insufficient space on the bottom floor.
The fourth deck is the bottom deck. The space from the deck to the bottom of the ship, which is the cabin, is the most claustrophobic part.
Most of the criminals to be escorted are placed in this area.
Bucky stepped on the damp wooden board with his bare feet, his left shoulder was empty, and he held a pistol in his right hand.
Put the barrel of the gun against your cheek from time to time.
The remaining warmth above dissipated quickly.
His footsteps were unhurried.
snap——
snap——
In the claustrophobic lower cabin, these footsteps seemed to step on the hearts of all criminals.
Arne was very anxious.
His grandfather, this madman fired three shots, and the whole warship knew that there was something strange about the prisoners at the bottom. Isn't this urgent? !
But when I actually walked into the cabin on the bottom floor, my body became as stooped as a quail.
The metal cages in front of you are large and small.
The big one is four to five meters high, almost reaching the deck, and the small one is only about two meters, which is about the same size as the cage Arne was in before.
The very scattered cold light could only illuminate the vague outline of the prisoner in the cage, and the shadow of the fallen person was very long.
There are also countless pairs of greedy eyes.
It felt like being surrounded by terrifying wolves in the dark night.
Behind him came the sound of very rapid footsteps, shouts, and the clash of swords and guns... which passed through several decks and landed in Arne's ears.
In front are ferocious and unruly wolves, and behind are flames that are about to burn people to death.
Al's heart jumped into his throat.
"hey-hey…"
Fortunately, the madman's laughter is still there.
Arne actually found a little sense of peace in this laughter.
Next, as long as these prisoners are released, we can fight against the navy outside, right?
They should naturally stand with us, right?
"Hey, there is a lost pet looking for milk!"
In the darkness, a joking voice came from somewhere.
"If you want to breastfeed, you have to kneel down and beg!"
"Otherwise, the little pet will be taken to be shot!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Little pet, as long as you open my cage and kiss my toes, I will help you deal with the navy behind you."
In the darkness, a two-meter-tall figure shouted in a teasing voice with a hint of urgency:
"You know, I am a pirate with a bounty of 100 million!"
"Hahahaha, Joseph, who doesn't know how much your 100 million bounty is worth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other prisoners did not hesitate to expose him.
All kinds of weird sounds suddenly broke Arne's fantasy.
Those locked up here are all pirates.
A rare profession that is keen on killing its peers.
"It's over, it's over..."
Arne's lips trembled. If these prisoners refused to take action, how could the two of them fight against the navy outside?
As the source of the commotion, the two of them were probably going to be hoisted to the sail to dry!
"Ah...ah...the lost little pet is really a good joke, much better than the one I just thought of."
No matter the eyes full of teasing and malice, or the urgent situation outside, it seemed that they could not affect Bucky's good mood at this time.
He sat down casually.
The right hand holding the pistol fired several shots in the direction where the most words were spoken.
"Unfortunately, I don't like other people's jokes being better than mine."
There was no change in Bucky's eyes, as if what he shot and killed was just a nasty mosquito.
The prisoners' laughter stopped abruptly.
The little pet seeking for a snuggle suddenly took out a deadly thing, which was not cute.
But these two people, are they really not afraid of the navy behind them?
If they don't rely on them and don't use their power, how can they fight against the navy behind them!
The reason why these prisoners dared to laugh at them wantonly is that they were essentially arrogant because they were spoiled. They heard the gunshots, the sound of the navy gathering, and saw Arne's timid appearance.
But the situation now seems a little different.
Buggy smiled sweetly, and seemed a little dissatisfied with the atmosphere:
"Why, why are you so serious?"
"Why don't we play a game!"
"Well... how do we play?"
He touched his chin, "How about this, before the navy arrives, let's think of a name for each other?"
"For example, my side, Arne, I call him..."
"The navigator candidate of the cute little Bat Pirates... Mr!"
Baki smacked his lips, and his smile faded, "Okay, now it's your turn."
"Think of a name for me."
"Aren't you afraid?" A prisoner questioned in the darkness.
"If it weren't for us, you would definitely be dead!"
"No, no, no." Buggy waved his hand and licked his lips, "Not me, it's us."
Baki took out a long gun from the sack, wiped it, and aimed at the prisoners a few times, full of threats.
These prisoners imprisoned in the cage, no matter how high the bounty outside is, are no different from living targets at this moment.
"Hehehe..."
"An additional reminder, the punishment of the game is that the person who thinks of it later will die first."
"Or, if no one can think of it, then everyone will die together."
"How is it, fun?"
