Chapter 879 Immunity?
Almost all the pirates bought Captain Hook to win, and they cursed and threw the gambling cards in their hands all over the sky! Only a few timid pirates secretly congratulated themselves for their caution.
"It must be cheating!"
"They must have collusion! This is too obvious..."
"Hook, you bastard! Don't you even want the dignity of your own pirate group for a few small money?!"
“............”
In the face of the uproar pirates, Captain Hooker's men all explained with red faces. Poor they also bought Captain Hooker's victory and lost months of salary! At this time, Captain Hook was still kneeling in front of the book demon, if it hadn't been for this person's usual power. Otherwise, his kneel would have been beaten by those vicious pirates!
The host of the Pirate Guild wiped his sweat and stared at Captain Hook for a long time. He really couldn't see what medicine this guy was selling in the gourd. Seeing that he had not moved for a long time, he rang the bell hanging on the wooden frame helplessly. When--" The bell rang, heralding the failure of Captain Hooker's duel. But Captain Hooker only trembled when the bell rang, and then still knelt there, muttering unconsciously.
When the book demon heard the bell of his victory ring, he stopped with satisfaction and turned away. He went to the pirate who had been stunned for a long time and returned the chain shackles to him. "You have a good weapon that can defeat Captain Hooker. Take good care of it."
The pirate stared at the chain shackle stuffed in his hand and took a look. Suddenly, he screamed, as if he had met a ghost. He threw down the chain shackles and ran away!
Captain Hook, who was still on his knees, was awkwardly set up by his men and dragged back to their own hotel camp. It was not until the next morning, when everyone woke up with a hangover, that they heard a heartbreaking roar from Captain Hook's room: "No!" Then there was silence...
In the afternoon, the whole Barbados pirate hid in the port, and there was news that Captain Hooker was subdued by the 'voodoo' magic in the duel. This makes the identity of the shadow baron more mysterious and confusing. The humble hotel where Zhang Fan's team is located has become a taboo place for pirate crews. They all bypassed here far away, worried about being turned into a living dead by the evil witchcraft of the shadow baron...
"Why didn't you kill this bastard?" Aken questioned the book demon, "Have you been brainwashed by Master Zhang Fan?" A woman's benevolence like him?
The book demon was as indifferent as ever, but smiled and said, "Although Captain Hooker was hypnotized by my witchcraft, this man's spiritual power is very strong and tenacious. I just took advantage of a psychological loophole in his mind. If you really want to control him to commit suicide, or attack and kill him. I'm afraid that he will wake up from hypnosis immediately. Can we still win so easily? After all, although he can't break my absolute defense, I can't defeat him if I don't summon the bone dragon. Would you like to see the ending of the draw?
Aken was silent when he heard the words, but he was still very worried that it would not end like this. If Captain Hook woke up and found that the person who lost the duel was so aggrieved, he couldn't give up!
Aken's worries were not unfounded, because the next day, his worries became a reality. Captain Hook filed a complaint with the Pirate Guild to protest that he had not had a fair duel. But everyone sneered. Even if the other party controlled Hooker with magic, he was confused and surrendered, and the other party did not subdue him by force. But at that time, anyone could see that Captain Hooker had lost his resistance, and even a child could easily kill him!
However, the Pirate Guild may pass his appeal, because the Blood Lion Pirates are one of the five sponsors of the Caribbean Plunder Convention. The sponsors of these five pirate groups have conditional immunity from the rules of the convention. The so-called condition is to pay a large amount of exemption fee to the pirate guild! In the world of robbers, as long as the fist is big enough and rich enough, you can do whatever you want. The Blood Lion Pirates undoubtedly have these two conditions.
However, Captain Hooker's 'blood lion' pirate group paid a high price this time! They must first pay a waiver equivalent to ten scenes of wealth, and then half of the subsequent benefits will be owned by the Pirate Guild. That is to say, even if Captain Hooker cheated in this duel and asked for a re-duel, he could only get half of the benefits after winning. And this half must be picked by the pirate guild.
Aken immediately went straight to the residence of the Pirate Guild after getting the urgent news from Stoke and Xuanyuanxing, who had heard the news at the Pirate Guild. Here, Stoke is arguing with the fat pig host of the Pirate Guild and Captain Hooker. Xuanyuan Star is nervously ready for a raid. The situation here is tense, and a bloody fight is imminent!
Aken's timely arrival made Stoke and Xuanyuanxing breathe a sigh of relief. Then Aken's words also made Captain Hook feel much more comfortable. Aken rushed straight to the fat host and said, "Our Baron heard about yesterday's duel. Does anyone want to regret it? I don't know if this Caribbean Convention is binding on anyone?
The fat host wiped his sweat and said arrogantly, "You have squeezed this place like a vegetable market. Damn, it's really hot! I want to tell you, Baron, in the underground world of the Caribbean, noble titles are not good! The 'Blood Lion' pirate group led by Captain Hook is one of the initiators of the Pirates of the Caribbean Convention. According to the convention, the five initiators have the right to be exempted from any rule, provided that they can afford immunity! And our generous Captain Hook is willing to get an exemption at the cost of donating a warship to the pirate guild. Invite your baron to duel again!"
"This is really rogue and despicable!" Stock scolded angrily, "Everyone saw Captain Hooker surrendering in the duel, and even God can testify!"
"Stoke, you sissy. After this incident, I will definitely peel off your skin and make a drum, and then I can beat you every day!" Captain Hook said negatively.
Stoke was about to retort, but he was stopped by Aken. "It's okay, Stoke. We don't defeat our opponents by our mouths.
Then Aken asked the host of the Pirate Guild: "I don't understand. If we win the duel, Captain Hook's ship should belong to us. Why can Captain Hooker still use our ship to pay the exemption fee?
The obese host sneered sinisterly and said, "Because Captain Hook appealed his rights first within the specified time, as for your baron, with all due respect, he is not even the first time to the Caribbean, and he is not the object of the Caribbean Convention at all. We just respect Captain Stoke's contribution to our pirate guild.
"I'm afraid you are coveting half of the benefits if Captain Hooker wins us!" Acon's words penetrated the mind of the pirate guild, "Or Captain Hooker promised you some personal benefits..."
"You are slandering! I will..." The fat host patted the table angrily, and his fat face trembled. But the next moment, he was attracted by a handful of gold coins in Acan's hand.
"I want to tell you that the Baron has always been very generous. If anyone has done anything for him, the Baron has never disappointed the other party..." Arken put gold coins in front of the fat man one by one and blocked the guy's mouth.
Then he turned to Captain Hook and said, "I also want to tell you, Captain Hook, if you are really unconvinced about the first duel, our baron can promise you a second duel. If you win, the terms of the last duel are still valid, and you don't have to contribute to the pirate guild. The question is, if Captain Hooker loses again, will you cheat again to ask for exemption? Although the Baron is tolerant, he is by no means stupid. He doesn't have time to play any treacherous game with a clown!"
Captain Hooke blushed when he was squeezed by Aken's words and replied rudely, "Absolutely! But I was really not ready last time. Your means are really..."
Aken immediately interrupted Captain Hook's question, "Don't say last time. Although our Baron agrees to the request for another duel. But there are also two conditions, but please believe that these two conditions are really insignificant compared to the exemption you have to pay... Baron just doesn't want his property to be cheap to the Pirate Guild!"
"Hmm! Tell me..." Captain Hook raised his head proudly.
"First, although the Baron agreed in the first duel, he must choose one of your men to bear the anger of the Baron! Second, the time and place of the duel are determined by the baron. In order to show the tolerance and fairness of the Baron, the way of duel can be chosen by your Captain Hook. But the Baron doesn't want to see your cheating face up close!" Aken's terms are very reasonable. Although the language makes Captain Hook uncomfortable, there is no denying that the other party's proposal is fair.
"Hmm!" Captain Hooker thought about which unlikable guy to sacrifice and felt that he should be more generous, so he said to Aken, "You don't have to choose the way, since the Baron doesn't want to see me. Then let's solve it with a naval battle! We each sent a warship to fight in the sea designated by the Baron. As for choosing my men to replace me, you can do whatever you want. Except for my life-and-death brothers, you can choose whatever you want..." Captain Hooker is quite affectionate. I didn't sell my cronies.
