King Snake General of Pirates

Chapter 8 The Betrayer

The pirate group that only dares to wander along the coast has people watching all the time. If something is wrong, it will change its docking place. In addition, if there are spies in the Kingdom of Androser to monitor the navy's movements, it is generally difficult to be discovered and arrested.

"The gang colluded with the pirates. How smart is it to join forces?"

Hal smiled. This combination was indeed difficult for other gangsters, but for Matthew, it was not unacceptable.

If there were pirates involved, Hal, the navy, would be qualified to intervene.

"There is no rush in this matter. Eradicating them will not happen overnight. If it is found out that it was really them who did it, and you join me, I will have a greater chance of success."

Matthew became a little excited. This kind of emotion usually did not appear in him, let alone just lost an underground transportation route whose value cannot be measured in terms of money.

"If I eradicate this little gang, I might be able to annex it completely, and then I can get back everything I've lost."

"Before that, I need to think carefully about other gangs, thugs and lawless people. These hungry wolves are staring at me all the time, underground transportation routes, retreat routes and loaded ships..."

Then he seemed to think of something again and asked Hal: "This pirate group is not weak. According to the news, their captain is also a Devil Fruit user. How are you using your Devil Fruit?"

Matthew knew that Hal did not have many special abilities except for his huge physical improvement.

If that's the case, it might not be that easy to fight head-on with just one's own strength, even if Hal is added to the mix.

"I forgot to tell you that after I completed my second transformation, I gained an additional ability..."

After saying that, Hal slowly raised his palm. Under Matthew's careful attention, he saw that the originally long and powerful hand with palm prints was visibly wrapped in a layer of pitch black scales.

Extending from the palm of his hand to Hal's entire arm.

"This is an ability I just acquired. I can cover my body with this kind of jet-black scale armor. It has extremely strong defense and can block sword attacks. However, I am not yet proficient at it, so I can only cover the area of ​​one arm for the time being."

Matthew stretched out his hand and touched the arm covered in black scales, and immediately felt the steel-like hardness on it. He couldn't even press the soft skin with his bare hands to make any dent.

Then under Hal's instruction, Matthew took out his famous sword.

He calls it a famous sword, but it is actually a precious sword, one of the 50 good swords. There are only fifty of them in the whole world.

It was Matthew's trophy when he first annexed a certain gang.

Matthew drew the famous sword across Hal's arm, of course he didn't use too much force. When the sound of metal clashing sounded on the scales on Hal's arm, Matthew's face showed ecstasy.

"Oh my god, he is so strong."

"Even a sword that is one of the 50 swords of Liang Kuai Dao cannot break through your defense. It seems that it is more than enough to withstand ordinary swords."

Hal is also very satisfied with this ability. It is the first ability that he can actively release. Although it is not offensive, it allows him to not be easily injured in battle.

Before eating the Devil Fruit, he had heard about this secret treasure.

After eating the phantom beast species of the Snake Fruit type, in order to better control his power, he searched for a lot of relevant documents and gained an extremely detailed understanding of the Devil Fruit.

"I call this ability scale defense. As my physical fitness increases, it will become harder."

In fact, Hal has much more power than Matthew saw, and Hal himself didn't even realize it.

After all, there is no opponent strong enough to verify.

The animal type Devil Fruit is not like the natural type that can master the power of destroying the world by eating it, nor is it like the superhuman type that requires long-term development and training. It is more like a slow growth and adaptation, which takes time.

……

The class divisions in kingdoms all over the world are very obvious, and the same is true in the Androser Kingdom. This can be seen from the area where they live.

The highest-quality land and residences built with hundreds of millions of dollars invested in the center of the kingdom can only be lived in by those with high status and power, but often these two conditions correspond to the same kind of people.

Around the central area, there is a place where civilians live. The rich and powerful don't care how they survive. Most of the rich and powerful people who have been pampered since childhood have never even entered this area in their lives.

Even more miserable than the civilian areas, those who even find it difficult to survive are the people in the slums. They can only live in the western part of the Androser Kingdom, plus a large area in the south and north that is wrapped in dirty and smelly garbage.

Occupying almost one-third of the Kingdom of Androser.

That's where the three Hals came from.

At this moment, in the southwest of the civilian area of ​​Androser Kingdom, in a small alley that had become muddy and full of water due to the rain in recent days, a figure emerged from the dark night.

He walked carefully through the alley, but he didn't care about the muddy ground and the stinking water. When he stepped on it, there was a sound of rushing water. The sound was not loud, but in this quiet and narrow alley, it became louder. Must be clearly audible.

This man walked out of the alley and looked up to see a waning moon.

The dim light of the waning moon shone in the man's eyes, and he could actually see a hint of evil. What made him have evil thoughts was not the fact that his trouser legs were soaked with water because it was difficult to walk in the dim moonlight.

"Cyril, if you are cruel, I will curse you to a bad death!"

"I curse you to be eaten by wild dogs, to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, and to be caught by... Matthew."

In his mind, it seemed that being caught by that man was a hundred times more vicious than the previous curse. He just cursed and cursed, then covered his face and cried.

He was originally a person living at the bottom of the slums and had lost hope in life. He had experienced all the ugliness of life, and he thought he would live like this for the rest of his life.

Unexpectedly, that day, a handsome young man reached out to him.

Pulled him out of the abyss of darkness, and he has seen the light ever since.

He always remembered the first words that the boy in white who brought him hope reached out to him: "Don't be afraid, I will help you live."

However, just a few days ago, he extinguished his own light with his own hands.

He betrayed Matthew.

Not only that, Cyril, the gangster boss who promised to give him a huge reward, did not fulfill his promise. Instead, he asked people to throw him out, and bluntly said that if he dared to pester him again, he would be arrested and brought to see Matthew.

At this point, he was afraid.

"A traitor actually wants a reward." Cyril laughed at him and humiliated him severely.

He returned to the darkness again, this time crawling back by himself.

Cyril was not prepared to kill him, nor did he bother to kill him. He also knew that, having lost his protective umbrella, his fate was already doomed the moment he decided to betray.

"Who!"

The man suddenly turned around and saw several figures standing upright on the empty street not far away. They didn't move, they just stood there, staring at him.

After seeing the other party's identity clearly through the pale moonlight, the man turned pale and ran away in fright.

Unexpectedly, a huge fist came from behind him and hit him directly in the face, smashing several teeth and causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.

"Asshole! You bastard!"

A man was riding on a man, and every time he punched a man, there was a curse. Punch after punch, without any consciousness, all out of anger.

The man struggled to protect his face with his elbows, but he was still beaten until his brain was buzzing. He was desperate. He already knew that he would die the moment he was found.

"That's enough, don't beat him to death." On the other side, a man with a bandage on his body walked out of the darkness. He looked down at the beaten man who was whimpering, and said calmly: "Take him back to see Matthew. "

The man who was originally exhausted and had no fighting spirit, after hearing the words of the bandaged man, started struggling like crazy, with as much strength as an ox, and instantly threw the person on him out.

He yelled, "I'm not going! I'm not going to see him!"

"It's my fault, I was wrong..."

"I deserve to die. It's me who deserves to die. It's me who is greedy for money. I shouldn't be blinded by money...I'm afraid of being poor. I really don't want to live a poor life anymore..."

"I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for him, I won't see him... Just kill me, just kill me!!"

The roar gradually turned into crying, and the man burst into tears. No one knew whether he was regretful or afraid.

In other words, meeting Matthew would be more painful for him than killing him directly.

The bandaged man squatted down and patted the other party's shoulder. Facing this traitor who was once his brother and his subordinate, he was not angry at being implicated and punished by him, and sighed deeply.

"After you followed him, did you not have enough to eat for one day? Are you afraid of poverty or your own desires?"

"Death is not the way to solve problems. Not all faults end when you die."

"If you die, then who will pay for Matthew's losses? You betrayed him, and who will repay the kindness he gave you? Those brothers who were killed by you, after you die like this, aren't you afraid of running into them? "
