A gunner felt itchy on the back of his neck, so he reached into his collar to scratch for lice. Unexpectedly, he turned his head and saw a small wooden man with his head tilted sitting on a wine barrel at the side and rear.

"What the hell?" He murmured in confusion. He first looked back at the passenger ship, and after confirming that it wouldn't be able to fight for a while, he stood up and picked up this strange little wooden man. This little man was about the size of a palm, and his joints could move.

, it should be a toy. But I don’t want a little girl to play with it. It has no skirt and no face.

He played with the wooden figure a few times, turned around and shouted to the others: "Hey, whose is this?"

The other pirates either ignored him or looked up disapprovingly, but no one answered. Then he grabbed the wooden man and walked to the side of the ship, throwing the toy far away into the sea.

Plop!

The cold seawater suddenly poured into his mouth and ears, rushing straight down his throat.

He was so frightened that he immediately waved his arms to try to float up, but his joints seemed to be rusty and he could not move, and his body seemed to be as heavy as lead. He could only watch in despair as he sank into the sea.

He tried his best to raise his head for the last time and looked in the direction of the ship, only to see "himself" standing on the side of the ship, with exactly the same appearance and clothes, looking at him with a smile.

That's me?

Then who am I?

I am……

His thoughts were stagnant and his body was heavy, sinking like a stone under the water without even a bubble coming out.

None of the pirates on the ship paid attention to what was happening here. The "gunner" quickly returned to his position. He reached into his pocket and took out a wet wooden figure. The wooden figure was covered with seawater, but it was

He kept dancing and seemed very happy.

It showed a happy smile, turned its head 360 degrees very quickly, looked around the entire deck, and immediately selected its next prey.

One of the boatswain stood up, kicked off the debris at his feet and walked towards the cabin, perhaps wanting to go back and get some food. He also stood up silently, followed behind the other person, and suddenly reached out and pulled the boatswain's head.

Turned half a circle and turned to the back.

His neck made a slight cracking sound, their eyes met, and they suddenly showed the same smile.

The bosun stretched out his hand and turned his head back, approached the cabin with a smile, and stretched out his hand to the oncoming staff officer.

Soon, a smile appeared on the staff officer's face.

…

On another pirate ship, a pirate who was bored and waiting for the outcome of the negotiation was observing the situation with a telescope. He looked at the captain of the passenger ship standing on the bow of the ship, shouting loudly with the leader of the Red Skull Pirates, and it seemed that they were still in a stalemate.

He turned the camera and scanned the ship of the Red Skull Pirates. He saw that everyone on the deck was staying in their respective positions, preparing meticulously, and suddenly felt that something was very wrong.

"Hey." He nudged another pirate standing nearby with his elbow, put down the telescope, pointed at the ship of the Red Skull Pirates and said, "Why are they so quiet? Don't you think it's a little strange..."

The pirate in the gray shirt next to him turned his head straight:

"What's weird?"

The three gunners behind him turned their heads behind their backs at the same time and asked in unison:

"What's weird?"

The first mate, second mate, and everyone else of the pirate group poked their heads out from all corners of the ship, stared at him, and asked questions together:

"What's weird?"

The pirate was so frightened that his face turned pale, and the binoculars slipped from his hands. He moved half a step to the side, and suddenly fell to the ground. He twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

Others surrounded his body three levels inside and three outside. Seeing that he was frightened to death, they took out his spirit body and asked persistently:

"What's so strange about it?"

The pirate spirit said: "How could the Red Skull be so well-trained..."

A pale corpse walked out of the cabin. Seeing this scene, he commented calmly:

"It's weird everywhere."

Everyone turned their heads back together, and a small wooden man poked his head out of the pocket of the pirate in a gray shirt. The pirate then complained:

"grown ups!"

"He said I was weird!"

The corpse who was once the leader of this pirate group said: "It's really strange. I clearly remember that you have never met Amon. The instincts of your two paths are actually interconnected in this way."

"You are a faceless man and a secret puppet master. You must learn to manipulate and disguise. Don't learn the scary methods of thieves."

"Manipulation, and disguise?"

They repeated it in unison. Except for the pirate in gray, everyone else started to make different movements. Even the pirate who was frightened to death stood up again holding the telescope.

But just like a person who wants to draw a circle with his left hand and a square with his right hand needs a short period of practice, these people are walking around trying to simulate their original behavior, but they keep bumping into each other, stepping on the left foot and the right foot.

Walking forward facing the wall, lying on the ground rolling and kicking, unable to stand up, it seemed as if I had entered the Ubisoft world by mistake. "Faceless Dolls" made frequent mistakes, and even unexpectedly faced the Red Skull Pirates in the distance.

Fired a shot.

A water column exploded very close to the Red Skull Pirates' ship, shaking the ship.

The corpse watched silently as the water column rose and fell, then turned to look at the gray-clothed pirate. The small wooden figure in the pirate's pocket slowly hid in his pocket.

401

The sound of distant gunfire and the sudden shaking of the ship attracted the attention of the captain of the Red Skull Pirates. "Sea Wolf" Johnson, who had a bounty of 900 pounds, immediately stared at the captain of the passenger ship opposite with fierce eyes.

"How dare you launch an attack!" The sound of cannons came from behind. Johnson instinctively felt that something was wrong, but his first reaction was to shout slander in an attempt to scare the captain of the passenger ship. "There is nothing left to talk about, sir, get ready."

Pray to your God!"

When the cannon sounded, the captain of the passenger ship showed a vague surprise on his face, expecting the navy to call for assistance.

But the sky and sea in the distance were dark, and no reinforcements could be seen.

Could it be that there was internal strife...?

Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps behind Johnson, and the first mate with an eyepatch on one eye hurried over and whispered a few words in Johnson's ear.

The captain of the passenger ship caught the flash of surprise on Johnson's face. He immediately made a gesture behind his back, and the crew member closest to the hatch immediately stepped out of the door, notifying the crew to weigh anchor and prepare for a fight.

At this moment, Johnson suddenly pulled out his revolver and fired several shots. No one on the passenger ship expected this at all. Several people were immediately shot and bleeding.

"You're lucky!"

Seeing this, the resentment in Johnson's heart was finally reduced by more than half, and he followed the first mate into the cabin. The Red Skull Pirates' ship began to turn around, and the black gun muzzle stuck out.

The captain of the passenger ship covered his injured arm with one hand. After their figures disappeared, his anxious heart finally relaxed. He shouted without thinking: "Call the ship's doctor quickly!"

With a kick, Johnson rushed into the cabin and looked at the crowded ship of the Black Blood Pirates in the distance. After swearing a few words, he was about to give the order to fire, but suddenly his intuition moved and he stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head suddenly, looked at his first mate, and then kicked a gunner on the deck without warning:

"Farley! You drunkard, why don't you have a bottle in your hand today?!"

As he spoke, Johnson had already pulled out his knife and used his eyes to hint to the people around him to keep an eye on the gunner.

The drunkard looked at his hands slowly - the multi-threading operation caused the "faceless puppet" to process information very slowly now - and then slowly reached out and grabbed the half-left Lonzi at his feet.

The bottle, Johnson's eyelids jumped when he saw it, and he kicked him over again.

At the same time, he finally noticed the abnormality, saying that the black blood turned against him, but the opponent just kept walking up and down the deck. He wasted so long, and the opponent didn't even fire a shot!

Farley, who was kicked to the ground, looked forward, kicked his legs, and waved his hands in the air, as if he was too drunk to stand up. But he didn't expect that a moment later, he seemed to be led by an invisible thread.

Johnson stood up straight and sideways. Johnson's hair stood on end, and he immediately swung his knife to cut off his head, but the surrounding light source suddenly decreased - everyone on the deck turned towards him and took a big step closer!

"You found it!"

"The acting is not good enough!"

"Make up for it by killing you!"

Dozens of them reached for Johnson at the same time. Johnson yelled and swung the knife wildly, but it soon got stuck in the bone seam of a subordinate and could not be pulled out. Those hands grabbed his hair and tore off his ears.

Goug out his eyes... and quickly peel off all the removable organs from his body, turning him into a piece of rotten flesh that is completely unrecognizable.

Then, they turned around and the two ships began to bombard each other alternately.

Soon, the shells concentrated in Black Blood's ammunition magazine and opened a huge gap in the Red Skull. They sank and exploded at the same time, turning into two blazing wrecks. Naturally, no one survived.

Everyone on the passenger ship who was extremely vigilant and quietly turned the ship around witnessed this scene completely. The ship's doctor even forgot to bandage the ship.

"What happened? Why did the pirates who came to rob us just now fight among themselves and died together..."

The secretary looked at the two pieces of debris and muttered to himself in shock.

"That's not important. What's important is that they were all wiped out and we were unscathed... Count the personnel and set sail immediately after confirming that everything is correct."

The captain's eyes were filled with disbelief and deep joy of surviving the disaster.

The Outer God returned to the deck and met a hurried crew member. When the crew member saw him, he immediately spoke:

"Sir, why are you outside?"

"Please return to the cabin quickly. The threat of pirates has been resolved and we are about to leave this port!"

The Outer God nodded, separated from the crew, and returned to his guest room.

He opened his clenched palms, and a translucent spirit appeared in the sky above his palms. The only captain who had not been swallowed, Johnson, floated in the air in a daze, with the frightened expression before his death still remaining on his face.
