Chapter 331 Bandit King Sig
When the pirate leader was feeling uneasy, he noticed that the young naval officer was looking at him. His heart suddenly sank. He was just thinking casually. Could he really be here to arrest him?
The main reason why Vic looked at the bandit leader was because he was an acquaintance. Although it was more than ten years ago, he didn't expect that Sig had already become a bandit.
Although he is only about 30 years old now, his wretched look is very easy to recognize. This is the person who will step on the head of the Four Emperors Luffy and pour wine on the head of the Four Emperors Red-Haired Shanks in the future.
A great pirate like Red Hair was a super-powerful man who had killed 56 people. He was known as the King of Bandits. However, he was still defeated by the King of the Sea who bit off Red Hair Shanks' arm, and was finally eaten alive.
After looking at Sig for a while, Vic looked behind the bar, where there was also a familiar figure, a girl with dark green hair. It was Makino, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Next to him was a fat middle-aged man with the same hair color. Vic guessed that was Makino's father. Later, the tavern was inherited by Makino.
Vic didn't expect to see two familiar faces here. It was not surprising to see Makino, as she was from Windmill Village, but it was amazing to see the Bandit King!
Vic ignored the bandits who had paused and walked straight to the counter. Sig, who was sitting at the bar, thought they were coming for him and was hesitating whether to draw his sword.
This young naval officer looked very powerful. The floating drum behind him gave him a frightening feeling. If he drew his sword, he might die on the spot.
If he didn't draw his knife, at most he would be locked up and forced to work on a sewing machine. He hadn't done so many evil things that he wouldn't be executed. Thinking of this, he loosened the knife at his waist and waited patiently for Vic's decision.
"Boss! Do you have any more wine?" Vic asked the middle-aged boss instead of looking for Sig. This was the purpose of his coming here. As for what to do with Sig? We'll talk about it later.
"Admiral! I'm sorry, the wine is just sold out!"
The boss glanced at Sig and the others and said anxiously that because of the bandits, no one had come to notify him about the banquet in the evening.
Although the navy man in front of him came with the village chief, his attire and demeanor were too extraordinary. He was really nervous, and Makino next to him was also a little scared. If it weren't for Vic's handsome face, she would have peed her pants long ago. As a young girl, Makino was not the proprietress later.
"Admiral! I'm so sorry, we seem to have drunk all the wine in the store, please forgive me! If you want to drink, I still have a bottle here, which has not been opened! I hope you don't mind!"
Sig was relieved when he heard that Vic was here to drink. As long as he wasn't here to arrest him, it would be fine. But when he thought that they had finished all the wine, what if he upset the navy and got in trouble with him? So he handed the remaining bottle of wine to Vic.
Vic felt that this scene was too familiar. It was a famous scene. Should he smash the bottle with a punch and spill the wine all over him?
But Vic soon figured it out. He was a navy man, representing justice, so how could he do such a tasteless thing? He decided to let Sig and the other bandits do the hard work of buying wine in the city to help them sober up. When Vic thought about it, he felt that he was really a good person!
"Judging from your attire, you are bandits, right? Do you have a reward on you? Have you paid for the drinks here?"
Vic glanced at the bottle of wine in Sig's hand, then his eyes fell on Sig's frightened and wretched face.
At this moment, Sig wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he talk nonsense? Isn't it good to be a transparent person? Why did he come down the mountain to drink King's wine today? Oh, it was the suggestion of that round-headed little brother. If he returns safely this time, I must beat him into a pig's head. Why did he have to choose today to drink? Sig had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't dare to look directly into Vic's eyes. It was too oppressive.
"We became bandits because we couldn't make ends meet. We haven't done anything against the law, Admiral. I hope you can see clearly! We don't have a single cent reward. We were planning to pay for the wine when we left. Boss! Calculate how much it is and we'll pay now!"
Although he was afraid inside, Sig still wanted to wash himself well. It would be better not to operate the sewing machine if possible. He also yearned for freedom.
The boss looked at Vic nervously, and when he saw that Vic didn't react, he quickly calculated the bill. He thought that he had no money for today's wine and would suffer another big loss. These bandits didn't look like people who would pay. Fortunately, the village chief brought a senior naval officer with him.
But he calculated for a long time but still couldn't figure out how much money it was, and he was still a little nervous. But Makino next to him calculated it. When she saw Vic helping them, she was not as nervous as before, but her face was a little red. After she told them the number, she secretly glanced at Vic a few more times. This brother was so handsome, he completely met her aesthetic standards, and he was a high-ranking naval officer, so she felt very safe.
Vic just watched Sig going around asking for money from the minions. Although Sig was embarrassed, he didn't dare to run away. Although he had his back to Vic when he asked for money, he could feel Vic's eyes on him. At this time, the old village chief had already told Makino and his daughter about the banquet that would be held in the evening, but the wine had been drunk by the bandits, and the three of them were all looking down to think of a solution.
Sig asked all his brothers to collect the money for the drinks, and went to the bar to pay for the drinks. After that, he looked at Vic with a flattering face, trying to get away with it and pretend that nothing had happened.
As long as Vic nodded, he would immediately run away with his little brothers and would behave properly when coming here from now on... No, he would not come here again within ten years. This navy was so scary.
"Let's put it this way! Since you've finished drinking the wine, you have to take responsibility for solving this problem, boss! Where do you usually buy the wine in your store? Let them help pull the cart, and now let's go and get some more goods!"
When Vic started talking, Sig thought to himself that he was doomed, but he felt relieved after hearing the rest of his words. He was just a hard laborer and a rickshaw driver. A real man should be able to bend and stretch, so he decided to just put up with it this time.
"Our wine is all imported from the city. Since we have enough manpower, let's bring back more wine this time!"
The boss' eyes lit up after hearing Vic's words. In the past, he had to push a cart to the city to purchase goods, and each time the quantity was small and it was very hard work. This time, with so much free labor, he was naturally happy.
