King Snake General of Pirates

Only three of the thirteen people have not yet shown despair.

Matthew looked at them, his eyes resting on the tall, dark man at the front, and said calmly: "Are you the captain of the Golden Hook Pirates, Wadsworth?"

"That's right." Wadsworth looked up and replied.

Although the navigator and the ship's mate were scared, they did not accept their fate like Cyril and other gangsters. With Wadswarn's Devil Fruit ability, it was not impossible to escape from here.

But they didn't dare to take action easily and could only wait for Wadswarn to give the order.

Two pairs of eyes looked around, trying to find an opening and a chance to escape, but when the captain's eyes collided with those of Freebat standing behind Matthew, his heart was severely shocked. .

What kind of man was he? He was [-] meters tall, with gnarled muscles and a frighteningly burly body. His tight muscles looked full of strength. Just looking at him made the air around him freeze, and the strong sense of oppression made him feel strong. People suffocate.

Freebat showed him a smile that made his scalp tingle.

Cyril on the side sighed deeply: "I failed."

"You..." Cyril had a lot of questions, but he never knew where to start.

As the opponent's final answer, Matthew felt calm and did not deceive: "Don't worry, let you look at the individual first."

Outside the door, a man with a vicious face walked in.

He kept his gaze on Cyril's face, and malice almost burst out from his eyes, wanting to devour Cyril.

Cyril was silent. He recognized this man. He was the one who betrayed Matthew and was abandoned by him.

I thought he would hide in a corner and linger on, waiting to be reactivated next time. Unexpectedly, he defected to Matthew again. The key is, Matthew believed in him again.

This made Cyril very puzzled. In his eyes, Matthew, who was as shrewd as a fox, was not someone who trusted others so easily.

"You actually still believe him."

Now that things have happened, Cyril understands that this man has chosen to betray him this time. Perhaps it is not a betrayal. After all, the other party has never been his, and he has never regarded him as a companion.

Regarding this point, Cyril had to admit that he had made a mistake.

If I had killed this person back then, I might not have ended up in this situation today, and I would have suffered the consequences.

Wadswarn also reacted. His hatred was not directed at the man who just walked in, but all his hatred was vented on Cyril with his eyes.

A self-righteous smart person turns out to be mistaken for his cleverness, which not only harms himself, but also harms everyone.

"Don't worry, there is one more." Matthew already had a chance to win, and his expression was calm, as if everything was under control.

Cyril looked up in frustration and saw another person walking outside the door.

This person felt strange to him, but also a little familiar. He didn't realize until someone next to him reminded him that he was one of his unknown subordinates.

"You dare to poach my people without considering whether your own people will defect to me. I am disappointed in you."

Matthew continued: "No one likes traitors, and I do too, but compared to you, I have more benevolence and credibility."

After speaking, Matthew looked at the two traitors who walked in.

One betrayed himself and the other betrayed Cyril.

"There is never any need for kindness towards betrayers, but considering that you all have provided me with a lot of help, I only give you one choice. Take what you deserve and leave this country. I don't want to see you again. Face, you are not allowed to come to the Kingdom of Androser from now on."

The man who betrayed Cyril turned blue and white for a while. Finally he felt relieved after hearing Matthew say that he would let him go and fulfill his promise to pay him a sum of money.

The man who betrayed Matthew always looked ashen, either staring at Cyril viciously, or burying his head, not having the courage to look at Matthew the whole time.

The two men then walked out of the room.

Freebart would not say anything about Matthew's decision. In the past, he would not refute Matthew's decision even if he didn't care about it, but this time he felt uncomfortable.

Freebat felt that it was not appropriate to let a traitor leave. There was no need to care about the help provided, and it could be regarded as making up for one's mistakes.

There are only zero and countless times of betrayal.

Therefore, when he saw the two people walking out intact and leading Berry out of the Kingdom of Androser, he groaned and made a dissatisfied sound.

"What do you want to do!"

"stop!"

Two completely different voices sounded outside the house, the first filled with fear, the second with anxious restraint.

boom!

boom!

After two gunshots, one after another, Matthew realized something and closed his eyes.

Freebat immediately ran out to check the situation. When he came back, his eyes were surprised and a little surprised.

"One was killed and the other committed suicide."

The smell of blood immediately floated into the room. Both pirates and gangsters are ruthless people who have been fighting for many years and are very sensitive to the smell of blood. Therefore, even if they did not see the scene outside, Wadswarn and Cyril could guess what happened. What.

Combined with what I just heard...

Cyril was not in the mood to grieve for others. He knew that he would end up with the same fate soon, so he looked at Matthew angrily and shouted: "You want to destroy me and then monopolize the southern and western parts of the Androser Kingdom?"

Matthew shook his head: "From beginning to end, I only ambushed people in the attic."

"That……"

Cyril was halfway through speaking when he recalled that after seizing the wooden box, he was attacked first in the building, and then on the street...by thugs and criminals outside a remote civilian area, as well as another force.

"I see……"

In fact, as Matthew said, only the attic belonged to him, and the streets and remote civilian areas were all owned by other forces.

Seven days ago, after getting the hiding place of the goods, Matthew immediately took the things back with his men in the dark and left a group of people there. No matter when Cyril went to pick them up, he would receive the news immediately.

Later, he used this to set up a trap, waiting for Cyril to jump into it, targeting not only Cyril alone, but also the thugs and criminals entrenched near the west.

Matthew just released the news and became the driving force behind the scenes.

Those big and small forces that have been eyeing the news will never give up this opportunity once they receive the news. Matthew took advantage of this.

But he himself concealed the most critical information and deployed his troops in the most important places, starting with the attic and ending with the wooden house. One started the battle and the other ended the battle, connected end to end, with a beginning and an end.

As for the tedious processes in the middle, let others do it.

When three forces fight, one of them will be injured. No matter who is injured, Matthew will be the winner.

"You already knew that it was me who did it, and you also knew where the goods were hidden. Why did you wait for me to pick them up?"

Cyril once again felt the terror of Matthew, this ability to strategize and play everything at the palm of his hand. In front of this person, his cleverness was as childish as a child playing house. He felt that he had been fooled from the beginning. If you lose, you start from the time when you plan to grab the other party's goods, maybe even earlier.

Matthew said nothing, raised his finger and pointed at the box behind them.

Cyril suddenly realized something as if he was waking up from a dream.

He pushed away his younger brother who was slumped on the wooden box, cut off the chain with a knife, grabbed the lid of the wooden box, and opened it.
