There was a wisp of smoke and the sound of a gunshot, and time seemed to stand still. The two parties in the battle couldn't help but stop what they were doing, and their eyes instantly glanced towards the source of the sound.
Hallend stood on the deck with one hand, and held the rapier tightly with the other hand. The tip of the sword was pointed downward, and it penetrated into the deck several guilds deep.
On the blade of the rapier, there was a slightly imperceptible gap.
Everyone looked in the direction of the gap and saw a red spot first appearing on Hallend's chest. The red spot was spreading at an extremely fast speed. Before anyone else could react, the red liquid covered his chest.
A large piece of clothing was soaked through.
"Lord Guardian."
"Lord Harley End."
Voices full of astonishment and shock floated by. The sailors on the "Guardian" could no longer care about the battle in front of them. Even if they left their backs to the enemy, they turned around and gathered around Harley End without hesitation.
, and protected it closely.
When Wang Hao's sailors saw this scene, they were obviously at a loss, and they all turned their attention to Boatswain Hal.
An imperceptible strange color flashed in the corner of Hal's eyes, but he seemed to turn a blind eye to the questioning glances of the people around him. Without new instructions, the sailors could only watch helplessly.
"Get out of the way." A weak but unquestionably majestic voice came from behind a group of sailors, but Harley End refused the others' offer to help him, stood up unsteadily, and raised his hand with his hand.
His thin sword served as a crutch, and every step he took would leave a pool of blood wherever he passed.
Although they were worried about the safety of the captain, the surrounding sailors still consciously separated to both sides.
"I didn't expect that my majestic guardian, Hallend, would actually be defeated by an alien who is not yet at the third level. He is indeed the one chosen by it!"
Harley End stood in front of the crowd. Looking at the young figure opposite, his eyes flashed with a bit of envy and a bit of emotion.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wang Hao even felt a little relieved from it, but there was no trace of resentment.
This situation is obviously abnormal.
He did notice that the other party mentioned the chosen person several times, and wondered if it had anything to do with this matter.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that the only thing about me that might be related to the other party was the pirate book going crazy.
Wang Hao's heart moved, but he didn't ask out loud. If the other party wanted to talk, he didn't need to open his mouth. The other party would naturally tell him. Otherwise, it would be useless.
After being hit by the fatal blow from the hand system, everyone could see that Hallend's situation was extremely bad at the moment, so he was not in a hurry to take action, but wanted to hear what the other party wanted to say.
But Harley End did not follow Wang Hao's wishes.
With a long sigh, Hallend suddenly let go of the rapier in his hand and took two steps forward without any support.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree. Even though the guardian Hallend looked weak and vulnerable at the moment, the sailors to whom Wang Hao belonged immediately became nervous, got closer, and looked at him warily.
Hold each other.
To be honest, after seeing the other party's actions, Wang Hao felt a little nervous. If it weren't for the blood stains left on the ground, he almost thought the other party was cheating.
"After I die, I will ask you to take care of these people under my command." Hallend did not pay attention to the other side's small actions. Instead, he said something that shocked both the enemy and us.
"this……"
Ren Wanghao thought about it, but he didn't expect such a scene to happen.
He subconsciously glanced at the sailors on the Guardian who were obviously caught off guard and showed their panic. He couldn't help but feel very moved. He had seen how tough these sailors were before. If they could be subdued, coupled with Hal's command
, I am afraid that in the side battle, he can be invincible against any player.
"All the treasures and other things on my body have been recovered. Only this stone is still worth some money, so I will give it to you as a reward for taking in these subordinates of mine."
Even at the last moment of his life, Hallend's tone was still so domineering, without any sign of asking for help. Regardless of whether Wang Hao agreed or not, he directly pulled the necklace from his neck and threw it to Wang Hao.
come over.
Wang Hao quickly caught it and couldn't help but be greatly surprised. This so-called stone was exactly what he was looking for in the first place.
Small Heart of the Ocean Fragment (Exquisite): A legendary treasure condensed from the essence of the sea. It is a rare material used to make high-end ships.
"Lord Guardian."
Hallend waved his hand to interrupt the group of reluctant sailors below, and said a little lonely: "This is my last order to you."
Although the sailors did not agree with this order in their hearts, the habit of obedience they had developed for a long time made them silent. Their eyes immediately swept over Wang Hao and the old captain, with extremely complicated expressions.
"I'll give you a piece of advice. It's best not to use the Wrath of the Sea Monster anti-product easily."
Hallend did not give the other party a chance to ask, and cast his gaze into the void, "Haha... I will never bow to fate. Even in the end, I will only die by my own hands."
After a burst of crazy laughter, Hallend seemed to have turned into a stone sculpture and remained motionless.
Wang Hao walked up to him and found that although the man's glasses were still open, there was no trace of life on his body.
Immediately afterwards, he found that his combat experience was improving at a roller coaster speed.
The harvest from this trip was undoubtedly huge, but Wang Hao felt a heavy feeling in his heart, especially the last sentence that Hallend said. It solved a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
He always felt that the Harley End he saw this time always gave him a very strange feeling. He couldn't calm down and think about it during the battle. But it was very likely that when the two of them met, the other party had already developed a desire to die.
.
The reason why you borrowed his hand to end all this is because it suits you, right?
Wang Hao's guess is both correct and incorrect. In fact, Harley End has indeed been prepared to seek death for a long time, but this does not mean that he will let go in the battle. With his arrogance, if Wang Hao cannot meet his requirements,
But he will not wrong himself. As for whether he will kill the other party by mistake, this will naturally not be in his heart. This can only mean that the other party is too weak and deserves to die.
In any case, Wang Hao finally got a big favor from the other party. He glanced at the silent sailors and handed over the task of subduing these sailors to Hal. They were both NPCs, so communication was more convenient than him.
.
I don’t know what Hal said to the sailors on the Far Guardian, which made these people look hesitant, but in the end they followed him back to the Piaoxue.
After entering the treasure space, he experienced successive battles. No matter how powerful Wang Hao was, casualties were inevitable. Therefore, there are enough vacancies on the "Piaoxue" to accommodate these new sailors.
This can be regarded as fulfilling Harley End's last wish.
Just when Wang Hao was about to turn around and retreat, Hallend's proud body remained intact until death, but his upright body turned into yellow sand. A sea breeze blew in, and he immediately went away with the wind.
A treasure chest was left impressively at the place where the guardian Harley End once stood.
Seeing this, Wang Hao didn't show too much joy on his face. Just as he was about to open the treasure chest, the surrounding water curtain seemed to have lost its support and turned into a heavy rain all over the sky, covering everything in the water curtain that was too late.
Those who took refuge in the cabin were soaked to the skin.
At this time, the smoke from the battlefield also began to dissipate, and was washed away by the rain all over the sky, turning it into nothing.
The four anxious Ryans who had been waiting outside the water curtain were still willing to wait any longer. The moment the water curtain broke, they rushed in with their boats. Even though they were all soaked in the water, they all looked nonchalant.
expression.
As the saying goes, arriving early is worse than arriving wisely. As soon as Ryan and the four passed through a rock pillar that obscured their sight, they saw Wang Hao preparing to reach out to open the treasure chest that shone like gold in their eyes. The face of the most grumpy shark was already there. He couldn't wait to show his anger, "Put down the treasure box, that's ours."
If these people attacked him from behind when he was fighting the boss, Wang Hao thought that it would be a near-death situation. But now that the boss has been destroyed, the four people on the opposite side want to deal with him, hum...
...The corners of Wang Hao's mouth rose, revealing a hint of disdain.
"If you want it, then take it."
With that said, Wang Hao really turned around and walked back to the "Piaoxue" without even looking back.
What is going on?
They had planned that once the opponent said no, they would immediately attack in groups and eliminate them. However, the opponent's response was far beyond their expectations. They were stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.
appearance.
"No matter what, let's get the treasure first."
Da Ryan glanced at the people around him and said decisively.
Others have no objections to this. After all, the fundamental purpose of this trip is more important than personal disputes.
The four of them are also known to be decisive people, and they quickly divided the work. Shark went to get the treasure box. The other three stayed on guard to prevent the other party from having other ideas.
After returning to the "Piaoxue", Wang Hao began to walk towards the channel from which he came.
Seeing that the other party was actually getting further and further away from the treasure chest, Ryan and others were relieved. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel puzzled. The other party finally eliminated the boss, but when it was time to harvest, they left resolutely. There must be something wrong with this.
There is some reason.
To be honest, they are still very afraid of this mysterious man who killed the boss alone, but when it comes to their own interests, there is no possibility of concession.
If it were them, they would definitely not let go of the treasure so easily. Unless the other party has already received enough benefits.
We can't let the other person leave like this!
Thousands of years passed through Big Ryan's mind. The voice was so strong that he immediately smiled and said hello to the person on the other side of the voyage, "Friends, why don't we take a look at what items are in the treasure chest before leaving?"
While saying this, Big Ryan's eyes were fixed on the other party, as if hoping to find suspicious clues from the changes in the other party's expression.
But unfortunately, Wang Hao did not give him this opportunity.
After hearing Brother Lane's words, Wang Hao's face showed an expression that was half a smile but not a smile. He actually agreed, "Okay." He actually slowed down the speed of the ship and immediately looked towards the treasure chest.
Look at the location.
Although others are also a little surprised by Big Ryan's behavior, they feel that he is a little too impatient. Even if they want to settle accounts with the other party, they should wait until the treasure is obtained to avoid complications. But as the nominal captain, they can't do it openly.
be opposed to.
It was not until they discovered that Wang Hao actually agreed without hesitation that the people present felt a sense of contempt for the weakness of this yellow-skinned boy.
In this world where strength is king, a weak person does not deserve the respect of others, even if he has strong strength.
At the same time, they also had a clear understanding of the country where this yellow-skinned boy lived. Perhaps the only country that could cultivate such a freak was that Eastern country that values low-keyness.
In King of One Piece, there is no way out for giving in, it will only make people push further.
"Maybe we can get some benefits from the other party?"
Thinking that the opponent could kill the seriously injured boss alone, and the equipment on them was probably not much different, a look of greed suddenly flashed in the eyes of several people.
Let's wait until we get the treasure chest.
Several people exchanged glances and immediately made up their minds.
The shark's movements were not slow. He quickly drove the boat close to the "Guardian" which had already begun to sink. He picked up the treasure box and opened the treasure box in front of everyone, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
The leader-level boss will at least reveal a few pieces of purple equipment, right? There may also be a small chance of revealing artifacts?
What should you do if you don’t get enough?
Thinking of this, the atmosphere in the four-person room became a little subtle.
"No matter what you get, take it outside and let the bosses make the decision."
Seeing that something bad was brewing, Big Ryan quickly added.
After everyone thought about this, they focused their attention on the treasure box again.
Shark's right hand poked in and out of the treasure chest, and suddenly there was a blue weapon in his hand. There was a tiny gap on the blade of this weapon. Wang Hao recognized it at a glance. This was Harley.
The rapier that Ende used before.
Seeing this weapon again, Wang Hao was filled with emotion.
"Yes, it's a top-quality blue weapon, but its durability is a bit low. I don't know if it can be repaired." Shark raised the weapon in his hand and said very excitedly.
"Well, it's a good dessert before the main meal."
Dalian and the others smiled at each other and said very relaxedly. With this example, their eyes couldn't help but soften a lot when looking at Wang Hao. If the harvest this time is rich enough, it is not impossible to consider letting him go.
other side.
Well, at most, leave a pair of underwear for the other person to take back.
Shark rubbed his hands and touched into the treasure box again. This time, what he touched was a small gadget.
Harley End's beloved tobacco bottle (exquisite): This is the symbol of a mature man, giving the holder +5 charm.
Although this piece of equipment is among the best at the same level, as a product of a commander-level boss, it is a bit too shabby.
"Shark, get rid of you and wash your hands before touching the equipment next time. It's too dark."
Little Ryan couldn't help but joke.
Generally speaking, they were in a pretty good mood. After all, even the world bosses had white outfits. It was not unusual for the commander-level bosses to have green outfits.
When Wang Hao saw this, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but everyone else's eyes were focused on the box at this time, and no one noticed it.
The hunt for treasure chests continues.
"Hey, it's dark again."
"Don't worry, all the good stuff is at the back?"
"It looks like I'm really unlucky today."
"..."
"How about trying someone else?"
Garbage outfits were issued several times in a row. Even Shark, who had never believed in evil, felt a little hairy in his heart and couldn't help but say something.
The expressions of Ryan and others also turned gloomy. Even the most obtuse person would have noticed something was wrong.
