People in One Piece Four Emperors are clones

Chapter 345 The Pirate's Feast

After all, the captain of the 'Diss Forest', 'Violent Fox' Khufu, is also a well-known strong man in the North Sea, and he is also well-known in the smuggling circle of the underground world.

In addition, the 'Dis Forest' that Khufu spent a lot of money to remodel, does not have several times their strength, so it is difficult to move this sturdy merchant ship.

"what--"

After a big yawn, Marcus rubbed his eyes and murmured, "I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time!"

However, just when he was sleepy, he heard a "thud-thud" vibration approaching along the mast, instantly dispelling the drowsiness in his mind.

"Oops, what time is it? Could it be that I slept for too long and forgot to change shifts!"

Thinking of this, Marcus straightened up like a carp, poked his head out of the watchtower, and looked out.

On the slender mast, a figure was quickly climbing up. It was Norrell Keith, the deputy captain of this ship whose prestige was second only to Captain Khufu.

"Ah! Vice-captain, why are you here? You can just say hello on the deck if you have something to do, why do you need to climb up yourself?"

When Marcus rolled his eyes, he woke up instantly, with a smile on his face, and shouted loudly.

"Dalle said he would call you from below, but you didn't answer, I'll come up and take a look."

While speaking, Keith had already climbed the last few steps of the hanging ladder, climbed the edge of the watchtower, and met Marcus's eyes.

"The boss called me? But... maybe the sea breeze is too strong, and I was observing the environment on the sea surface, so I didn't notice it."

Marcus said with a twinkle in his eyes, subconsciously avoiding Keith's gaze.

"Does the boss have any orders for me? He just needs to say something. I don't need you to go to the deputy captain."

Dale is the boatswain on this ship, and all the crew members are theoretically under his control.

Seeing this situation, Keith didn't know what this guy was doing just now. After all, the force of this ship guaranteed the safety of the crew.

There was a flash of light in his eyes, but Keith didn't say anything, just said: "What are you doing blocking the door? Get out of the way, I'm going in."

"Oh...okay." Marcus stepped out of the way as if awakened from a dream.

It is said to be a watchtower, but in fact the space is very small, only enough for two or three people to accommodate, through the windows on both sides, you can observe the sea level on all sides.

It was noon at this moment, and the warm sea breeze was as usual, blowing layers of scales on the sea surface.

"Deputy captain, Boss Dale called me just now, but I didn't respond, it's definitely not me dozing off, but"

"But what?" Keith scanned the surrounding sea with his eyes and asked.

"Hmm..." Marcus looked around with dripping eyes, and blurted out a lie in desperation.

"I just saw a huge black shadow on the sea just now. I thought it was a sea king. I was terrified and focused on observing the surrounding sea area. That's why I didn't hear Boss Dale call me."

Marcus gave a quick explanation, and secretly praised his wit in his heart.

I thought the vice-captain would get nervous when he heard the news about the Neptunes, but Keith didn't comment and just returned a straight look until Marcus buried his head in shame.

"Sea Kings appeared in the sea area of ​​Odessa, Marcus, do you think I'm a kid who just went to sea?"

Keith asked with a half-smile, but there was no expression on his face.

Keith didn't mean to punish Marcus, and he didn't climb the mast to check Marcus' post.

However, as the deputy captain of the ship, he still had to show the necessary attitude in the face of the crew's obvious laziness and lying behavior.

At least this guy should understand that laziness and lying are not behaviors to be encouraged.

"I'm sorry, deputy captain, I was wrong, I shouldn't be lazy, I was just too tired, so I slept for a while."

The lie is exposed, and Marcus admits his mistake in a dejected whisper.

Seeing that Marcus has realized his mistake, Keith naturally accepts it as soon as he sees it. After all, this young guy is usually reliable in doing things, and beating and beating is enough.

"Marcus, don't let your guard down," said the middle-aged Keith, who was very optimistic about Marcus's cleverness, and wanted to remind him, "Four months have passed since Roger, the Pirate King, was executed. It's starting to change."

"The world, is it starting to change?"

Marcus sluggishly followed Keith to repeat.

The name of Roger the Pirate King, he naturally knew that the only powerful pirate who conquered the great route was dubbed the Pirate King.

Even in the remote North Sea, he knew Roger's name and had seen the scene where Roger was executed.

Without answering Marcus immediately, Keith moved his gaze to the distant sea.

Dark clouds surged on the distant sea level, and the wind and rain were about to come, just like Keith's mood at the moment.

"The death of One Piece opened a new era in the history of pirates, and it is a carnival feast for pirates!"

Keith turned his head, glanced at the somewhat ignorant Marcus, and continued, "The feast of pirates is a disaster for civilians and those of us who depend on the sea for food."

"Disaster?" Marcus muttered to himself, speaking with some horror.

"Yes, disaster, this sea has begun to get out of control!"

Keith turned his head and stared at Marcus's face seriously, "In the past month, we have encountered five waves of pirate attacks, which was simply impossible before."

"But now, there are more and more such things, which shows that there are more and more newcomer pirates going to sea."

"Aren't we in more danger now than before?"

Marcus seemed stunned by Keith's words, unable to speak clearly.

"Don't worry, there's me and the captain, besides, all the powerful pirates have gone to the great route."

Keith turned his head and comforted Marcus.

Tell Marcus this, just want him to do his best in his future work, don't think that he is still as comfortable as before, or he will lose his life for no reason.

However, just as he turned his head, the expression on Marcus's face suddenly changed sharply, from dull to shocked in an instant.

"Deputy captain! Look at the stern of the ship, is there something over there?"

Marcus clutched the binoculars in his hand tightly, his voice full of fear.

"Ok?"

Keith raised his head and searched in the direction Marcus said.

Sure enough, a sudden black spot appeared on the sea level that should have been empty.

"Give me the binoculars." Keith stretched his hand back and his voice became serious.

However, the frightened Marcus has lost his ability to move.

Keith turned around, and before he could comfort Marcus, who had dull eyes, he snatched the binoculars from his hand, and immediately looked towards the black spot.

It was a flag waving in the wind—

White skull on black background.
