Chapter 376 Stockholm Syndrome
Chapter 376 Stockholm syndrome
After solving Laura Louise's problem, William left. He did not return to the Starlight, but began to investigate the coating industry of the Shampoo Islands with Danpiel. When Starlight was coating, William had some knowledge of the industry when he was chatting with craftsmen, but because he had a task at that time and was worried about attracting the attention of the Navy, he could not investigate in depth. Now he had no worries. The energetic William couldn't help but go around the streets and go deep into the front line to learn about the information.
On the other hand, these days, the prisoners who were staying on the Starlight had no idea what was going on. Suddenly, William and his group of guards, who seemed to be loose and tight, disappeared.
Originally on the ship, although William fully relied on his personal charm and skills during this period to differentiate some sailors who lost hope because of his shadow being taken away, he also provoked Hogubak, Perona and other old subordinates of Molia, and monitored each other with the civilians of the Starlight and reported to him.
But even so, William would guarantee that when he, Akin and Selkirk went out to do things, one or two people would stay behind to guard the people on the ship.
But now, William and his gang often leave behind guarding ships, even if they are not afraid of being discovered by the Navy and the World Government, they have changed their appearance and sorted out the sloppy appearance they had deliberately dressed up because of disguise, revealing their original appearance.
Caslana had to admit that William was still very handsome after cleaning up her clothes and face, but unfortunately she was just a pirate hunted by the government and the navy.
She tried to encourage Portia to run away with the others, but no one dared to run away with her even when William, Akin and Selkirk were not on the boat.
Most of the people on the ship had already seen the terrifying strength of William and the other three on the terrifying three-masted sailboat, especially during this period, when they went to the Shambodian Islands and the New World, there were pirates who had the idea of this merchant ship, but without exception, they were easily solved by William and Ajin, and the other party did not even have the ability to injure the Starlight.
The natural devil fruit is well-known for its wide range of lethality and great power. Once William's steam fruit is activated on a large scale, steam covering the clouds and sunshine will be shrouded in the sky, and a large area of sea is completely sunk into darkness, giving people the feeling that the sky is falling.
Although Ajin's kilogram fruit is not as powerful as William's ability, the bloodiness of killing is not inferior at all. When some sailors saw the corpse of a pirate who was beaten into meat sauce by Ajin, they were so scared that they had nightmares for several nights.
A group of ordinary people who were originally just merchant ship sailors have seen this force, and their fear of William and Ajin has penetrated into their bones. In front of such powerful people, they have no confidence in escaping. Instead of worrying about the punishment they receive after they are caught, it is better to stay on the ship honestly.
At least, William had never abused them, and even seemed quite kind in normal times, and was much more attitude than some merchants who often scolded them and deducted their property on excuses.
Moreover, after living in the Great Way in the sea area of Great Way for so many years, this is the first time they feel that sailing is so safe and relaxed. Not only did they go to the Shambodian Islands, but even to the New World, all the dangers on the road were solved by William and Akin.
In addition, sometimes, William would communicate with the sailors on the ship, just like what William often did in the East China Sea, and just like his habits in the East China Sea, the navy and government he mentioned were always not good people, and they would only indulge in crimes, so he had to fight against the Golden Lion Ski by himself, and was eventually remembered by the government and the navy.
The sailors experienced the hunting of Moria by Moria. This experience was actually exactly the same as William's experience of fighting Ski. They were both the government and the navy for various reasons, knowing that the existence of the pirates, but they were left alone, which eventually led to the victimization of innocent civilians in the local area. This was the case with the Golden Lion Ski and the Seven Warriors Moria. And the one who defeated these two truly vicious criminals and saved the East China Sea and the entire ship was William.
Because of this, some sailors even began to have the characteristics of Stockholm syndrome, namely the hostage complex, and emotionally tended to actually kidnap William. Not only did they disagree with Caslana's plan, but they even threatened her to inform William. Caslana then restrained herself and only discussed the escape with Portia and several crew members she fully trusted.
Portia told Caslana that even if William, Akin and Selkirk are often away on the ship, Perona, Hogubuck and others are still there, and the Shampoo Islands are not very safe, and there are crazy slave traders everywhere, and she also thinks escaping is not a good choice.
But even so, Caslana was not discouraged and then targeted Brooke. This was the most powerful person in the entire ship except William and the other two. If he could be told to accompany him, there would be some guarantees whether it was to escape from the pursuit of William and others or to operate on the island later.
In the restaurant on the boat, Brooke's legs were raised on the dining table, and he stacked a bunch of dining plates at his feet, leaned on the back of the chair, leisurely picking his teeth with a toothpick, and his mouth made a sound from time to time, like a rich man who was full of wine and food.
"I don't want to leave yet. You don't know how many years I haven't lived such a comfortable life. Every day there is plenty of delicious food to drink and chat with other living people, and someone can communicate sword skills together," Brooke spit out some food residues, and patted his stomach regardless of Kaslana's disgusting expression. "I feel like I've become fat all this time, although I'm actually only a bunch of bones left."
Kaslana listened to Brooke's high laughter and looked anxious: "Don't you like adventure? What kind of adventure are you staying here?"
"You have to take a break even when you take risks. I'm going to take a vacation now," Brooke burped. "When I accumulate my energy and find the right partner, I can embark on the adventure again."
Kaslana asked viciously: "What should I do if William kills you?"
"Mr. William said, will let us go after we finish our own business? He will definitely keep his word." Brooke said disapprovingly.
Kaslana said angrily: "You really trust him!"
