MTL - Pirates Make Memes: Get Eight Magic Skills at the Beginning-Chapter 17
Surprisingly, this is not a remote place where no one cares about, but a densely populated place. There are various types of shops, restaurants, massage shops, hardware stores, wood shops along the coast...
The City of Seven Waters is a well-known shipbuilding island. In addition to the world-renowned shipbuilding companies, it also naturally drives the development of the upstream and downstream of the shipbuilding industry chain. More than half of the people in the city are engaged in shipbuilding-related businesses. .
Hardware stores and lumber stores abound, most offering boat replacement parts businesses.
Searching according to the store number, Yang Ming and the six finally found their target.
"Jingle Bell!"
The door was opened by six people, and the wind chimes hanging at the door echoed crisply.
The middle-aged man who was working on the desk suddenly stopped what he was doing with a professional smile on his face.
"Welcome to Haba Hardware Store, everyone. I am the boss, Haba. May I help you?"
As soon as the six of Yang Ming entered, they quickly looked at the hardware store.
Overall, this hardware store is quite satisfactory, about 30 square meters. Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of internal organs. There are a variety of goods displayed in the glass counter, which looks no different from other hardware stores.
If an uninformed person came here, I'm afraid they really mistakenly think that this is just an ordinary hardware store, not an important base station for the Don Quixote family to transfer population slaves here.
The big hermit hides in the city, and the small hermit hides in the wild.
Doflamingo is worthy of being a business-minded big pirate among many pirates. He knows that the most dangerous place is exactly the safest place, so he placed such an important base station in a densely populated place, no matter what other people think. Unexpected.
The five Smogs surrounded Haba. Yang Ming took out a navy certificate from his arms. This is a temporary certificate provided by Chief Instructor Zefa to act cheaply. It has the power to arrest and kill gangsters. will be blamed by the local government.
"We are the Navy. You have already made it known. Please honestly explain the human trafficking incident by the Don Quixote family!"
As early as when Yang Ming and his party entered the door, Haba was alert.
Generally, the people who come to the hardware store to buy goods are adult men, and it is rare to see minors, and even less to see women.
Because the hardware store is full of tools for repairing ships, doing some dirty and tiring work, in this city of seven waters, only male boatmen need these commodities.
Therefore, Haba touched the hidden compartment under the counter with his right hand early, holding a newly developed continuous flintlock gun of the Don Quixote family. The problem of the overheating of the rifling can shoot all the bullets in one breath.
Facing Yang Ming's questioning, Habapi smiled and said:
"Children, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately."
"I, Haba, have always been an honest businessman doing my own thing. How could I be a female businessman who kidnapped and trafficked people? You can't slander good people!"
Seeing that Haba was stubborn, Smoker spat and said:
"I just said, why follow the method of chief instructor Zefa to deal with such criminals, you shouldn't try to persuade them, just beat them unconscious and take them back for interrogation!"
After all, Smoker wanted to handcuff Haba.
Seeing that the scholar met the soldiers, Haba knew that he could never fall into the hands of the navy, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes. He pulled out the flintlock from the counter, and pulled the trigger on the six people present one after another. .
"Bang bang bang! bang bang bang!"
Gunpowder smoke was blowing from the muzzle, and six orange-yellow bullets shot directly at the six people's foreheads along the ballistic trajectory.
Judging from his exquisite spear skills, Haba is not an honest businessman at all.
Yang Ming and the six had already noticed that the other party was jumping over the wall in a hurry. Smoker immediately turned into a few streams of smoke and bound Haba's hands and feet. The other five people easily dodged the other party's bullets based on their predictions in advance.
The moment Smoker suddenly turned into smoke, his pupils shrank sharply, and he exclaimed:
"A devil fruit capable user?"
"Or a natural devil fruit?"
Haba almost cried.
As the person in charge of the base station, how can He De enjoy the treatment of being approached by a natural devil fruit ability user?
Smoker threw Haba to the ground, and he had regained his human form, putting heavy shackles on the opponent's hands and feet.
Smoker was also violent, stomping on Haba with his hard leather boots, saying:
"Where do you hide the human slaves captured by the Don Quixote family?"
Haba knew that he might be doomed this time, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to bite the poison hidden in his dentures.
Yang Ming reminded Smoker of this before he acted.
Smoker didn't believe it at first.
But when he saw the ruthless look in Haba's eyes, Smoker immediately grabbed Haba's chin and pulled it hard. With a click, Haba's jaw dislocated on the spot.
"It was almost hit by Yang Ming. You guys actually want to commit suicide?"
Pulling out a piece of denture from Haba's mouth, Smoker was secretly startled when he saw the hidden poison inside.
Smoker would not believe that Haba was a loyal member of the Don Quixote family.
But if this is the case, could it be said that the Don Quixote family has some kind of powerful means of controlling their subordinates, so that the other party would rather choose to commit suicide than fall into the hands of the navy?
The rest of the people were collecting clues in the hardware store to find out if there was a possibility of a secret room or a basement here.
Yang Ming led Haba into the narrow bathroom alone, and closed the toilet door tightly with his backhand. Five fingers crackled, and a devilish smile appeared in Haba's eyes.
"I know you won't give out information about the Don Quixote family easily."
"So, let's play a simple game, and if you answer correctly, I'll let you go."
"What is 1000-7?"
Chapter 22 Is Tom Shipbuilding the Culprit?
"..."
Haba's jaw was dislocated, and he couldn't open his mouth to speak at all, so he could only stare helplessly.
"You can't even answer such a simple question, it seems that you want to force me to torture you!"
Yang Ming stuffed a ball of toilet paper into Haba's mouth, and at the same time covered his eyes with a towel, placed him horizontally on the ground, and turned on the faucet slightly, so that water dripped out continuously, continuously dripping. It landed on Haba's forehead.
In ancient times, the torture of dripping water was similar to the torture of cannon fire. It seems that the harm is not great, but when the eyes of the person are blinded, all the senses of the outside world will be amplified. Penetrating terror.
While Haba was enjoying the torture of dripping water, Yang Ming checked the system's news.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for speaking the classic lines of Tokyo Ghoul and getting a chance to draw a lottery. Do you want to start the lottery roulette?"
A lottery roulette emerged with few prizes on it.
Prizes: rc cells, hexagrams…
[rc cell]:...
Before Yang Ming had time to check the prizes he got in the lottery, the gourmet cells in his body were like a great white shark smelling fishy, and he opened his mouth to swallow all the rc cells that merged into his body.
The food cells brought quite good feedback, starting to strengthen Yang Ming's body from the cell level.
Yang Ming could feel that his physical fitness had improved significantly.
Clenching his fists tightly, feeling the power in his hands, Yang Ming secretly speculated that the improvement brought about by the gourmet cells saved him at least a year of hard work.
Smelling an unpleasant stench in the air, Yang Ming frowned.
He turned his head abruptly and glanced at Haba.
Haba's pants were already wet, and his legs were slightly convulsed.
It is estimated that the other party has reached the limit, and if the water dripping torture continues, the other party may be tortured into a fool, so Yang Ming turned off the faucet and took away the towel from Haba's eyes.
Regaining the light, Haba suddenly burst into tears.
Haba has never felt the beauty of life like now!
If he could do it all over again, he would definitely not be so tough on this group of marines!
Yang Ming took paper and pen from the hardware store, threw them in front of Haba, and said:
"You should be able to write, tell me the truth."
Haba looked at Yang Ming in awe. He really missed his mark. He didn't expect that this seemingly harmless child was actually the scariest one in this group of marines.
In order to avoid being subjected to the torture of dripping water just now, Haba held the penholder, tremblingly leaving crooked handwriting on the paper.
The knowledge penetration rate in this world is not high.
Although Haba is the person in charge of an important base station, he hasn't read any books, and his handwriting is simply unsightly.
Yang Ming took the information and read it for a long time before he could barely understand it.
"The second wrench in the third row on the left counter of the hardware store is the mechanism to open the basement. Turn it clockwise once to open the basement door. Half of the population of slaves has been transferred to Tom Shipbuilding Company."
After getting this piece of information, everyone quickly found the wrench.
"Crack!"
With one twist of the wrench clockwise, the wall behind the hardware store workbench parted to the left and right, revealing a staircase that snaked down.
Going all the way down the stairs, the air gradually gets stale.
There are two pirates guarding the basement, perhaps because of the perennial pampering, they have already lost their due vigilance, they are still drinking and eating meat there, and have no reaction to the navy who came to the basement.
A pirate was drunk, opened his hazy eyes, and said:
"Hey, why is there someone in the basement again, didn't they just take away a batch of goods a while ago?"
As soon as the pirate finished speaking, a bullet pierced his head.
The moment the other pirate heard the gunshot, his whole body trembled and he woke up from the alcohol.
However, only a cold bullet greeted him.
"Plop!"
This pirate was also shot in the forehead, his head tilted, and his face fell directly on a plate of good food on the table.
Duddy Masterson blew on the muzzle of the gun, then twirled the flintlock in his hand and tucked it into the holster on his waist.
The basement is cold and damp, and a group of human slaves are imprisoned in the iron fence according to different types of goods.
Young and strong men, children, girls in their prime, and beauties with good looks and figures.
Old people are obviously a cheap type of cargo, so there are no old people in the basement.
In order to prevent these imprisoned population slaves from making trouble, they are only given one meal a day in the basement, so that they are always hungry and weak.
When Yang Ming and the six came to the basement, most of the detainees curled up in a corner to sleep, in order to reduce physical exhaustion and not feel hungry or uncomfortable.
Looking at these people, all of whom were sallow and emaciated from hunger, everyone's expressions were a little unsightly.
They are still young, and they all have their own justice in their hearts, and they cannot accept that their compatriots will be reduced to this situation.
Tina fumbled for a bunch of keys from the corpse of the pirate, opened the iron fence one by one, and said:
"We are the navy, we are here to save you!"
A little girl woke up from her sleep, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said:
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Seeing that the little girl was wearing thin clothes and shivering from the cold, Tina held the little girl in her arms, letting the warmth of her body pass to her, and said:
"Don't worry, this is not a dream!"
The others woke up one after another, staggered out of the iron fence, and walked back to the hardware store along the stairs.
After regaining their freedom, many people wept with joy when they saw the long-lost sunshine outside.
Yang Ming glanced out of the corner of his eye, and found Haba lying in a pool of blood, with the pen used to write information stuck upside down around his neck, his brows slightly frowned.
From a glimpse of the leopard in the tube, it can be seen that Doflamingo has a bit of control. .
Looking at the scribbled information in his hand, Yang Ming muttered to himself:
"Tom Shipbuilding?"
"How could this matter have anything to do with them?"
The six of Yang Ming first contacted the navy stationed near the capital of seven waters, asked them to come and pick up the slaves, arranged for these people to go home one after another, and then went straight to the Tom Shipbuilding Company.
Tom Shipbuilding Company, as a world-renowned company, is located in the city center of the Seven Waters.
It can be seen from a distance, the unique horn murloc trademark of Tom Shipbuilding Company.
It has to be said that in this world, no matter what race they are, they all like to show their most distinctive side, whether it's used to make a pirate flag, or as a company's trademark.
