Chapter 56 The Return of the Navigator
Compared with the original work, it has no change, and it doesn't even look much younger, but its hiding methods and tricks are dazzling. If Rhodes had not locked him firmly with his domineering aura, he would have been dumped after moving a few times.
"I have no malice, nor have I seen any scenes I shouldn't have seen."
Seeing that he could not get rid of Rhodes, Lafitte decisively gave up and ran away, stood on the roof and looked at Rhodes, showing a very helpless expression, and gently spread the crutches in his hand.
Rhods looked at the other person calmly and said, "You don't look like a peaceful person... So, are you interested in joining me to turn the world upside down?"
Lafitte was a little surprised, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. Then he put one hand on his chest, made a gentlemanly bow, and smiled on his face, saying:
"I'm honored to join the Ghost Hand Pirates, Captain."
He has been constantly understanding the situation in the world and the West Sea. He has even obtained a lot of detailed information about the Ghost Hand Pirates that have reached the top after the rise of the West Sea.
As a restless person, he naturally would not plan to live a peaceful life. He always had to find an opportunity to jump out and make trouble in this world. Although he did not plan to jump out so early, Rhodes chased him all the way to invite him and rejecting him may not be a good thing.
Smart people can always make the smartest choices.
Rhodes smiled slightly.
"Rhodes."
"Lafitte, good at hiding and sailing."
Lafitte put one hand on the brim of the hat, tilted his head slightly lowered the bottom, and gently pulled the brim of the hat with his fingers. His movements looked completely incompatible with the title "Devil Sheriff", but he looked like an orthodox gentleman.
...
It was as easy as I thought, and Lafitte had nothing to clean up, or he seemed to have hidden everything on his body, but he didn't know where to hide it.
This trip to Water Sea also came to an end with the addition of Lafitte. Rhodes took the new voyeurs across two streets and found Robin.
"Nicole Robin, intelligence officer..." Rhodes introduced Robin, and nodded at Robin, "Lafitte, the new sailor on board."
Both of them are characters with superb IQs, and in some aspects, Lafitte is more important than Nicole Robin. After all, Robin often puts her wisdom on knowledge.
"Speaking of this, there have been people from the Navy staring at you in secret."
After giving a simple greeting, Lafitte rotated the red cane in his hand and smiled at Rhodes.
Rhodes shook his head without caring, and said, "There will naturally be a navy's eyewitness on such islands. I don't need to pay attention. Before entering the great route, I don't think the navy will come to cause trouble."
“That’s true.”
Lafitte put down the cane in his hand. He planned to say that if he didn't mind, he could pull out the navy's eyeliner and question the navy's movements, and even convey some false information to the navy, but it seemed that it was not necessary, so he didn't mention it much.
"If there is nothing else, you can go back to the ship and think about the next stage of things... heading to the great route!"
"The great route is a very challenging place, haha."
Lafitte smiled, his laughter and expression were always filled with a weird style.
"Then, you will be responsible for drawing the chart and choosing the waterway next. When I get on the ship, I will give you the chart and compass."
Rhodes said as he walked towards the distance, while Lafitte and Robin followed behind one left and one right.
Walking on the street, the road was unobstructed. Even if someone noticed Roz and others, they were all shocked and hid on both sides of the street, watching Roz walk carefully.
soon.
Rhodes took Lafitte and Robin back to the ship, and did not encounter any trouble along the way. The Navy's secret eyeliner did not dare to jump out and do anything.
...
A naval branch major general holding the phone worm asked with a serious and nervous look on the warship that was about to go to the island:
"How is it going, what's the result?!"
"The two-sword Pirates were wiped out... There was no loss in both cases. The ghost hand Rhodes won a great victory, and another weird guy followed them onto the ship."
Hearing that Rhodes won a great victory and there was no loss of both sides, the major general of the branch knew that it was impossible. When he heard that a strange man had boarded Rhodes' ship, he couldn't help but ask:
"The weird guy...had you taken the photo?!"
"It's been taken!"
"Okay, submit the photos quickly."
If you fail to arrest the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Double Sword Pirates, you must at least get some information to report, otherwise it would be a bit unbeatable to the headquarters.
After hanging up the phone, a colonel next to him whispered to him: "Major General, then do we still need to continue arresting the Ghost Hand Pirates..."
The major general looked at the colonel next to him with a little annoyed look. As a major general who looked at the pirate but did not dare to go over, it was a shameful thing, and this guy insisted on asking clearly.
"Stay on standby!"
...
A few days later.
The news that Rhodes defeated the Double Sword Pirates in the Watergold Sea was published by various newspaper news agencies and spread throughout the West Sea as various newspapers were broadcast.
On a route to the Great Route, the Ghost was sailing at full speed, and on the deck of the Ghost, Rhodes was watching with a roll of newspaper thrown by the news bird.
"Shocked! The position of the overlord of the West Sea has been full of twists and turns, and the owner has changed again"
Halfway through reading, Rhodes threw the newspaper into the sea and said helplessly: "The things published by these messy news agencies are not much more reliable than those published by the government."
Robin covered his mouth and chuckled, "It is impossible to make them publish accurate news honestly, but Captain, you have become the focus of various news agencies in Xihai."
Rhodes shook his head and asked at Lafitte, who was observing the wind direction and course at the top of the mast, "What is the wind direction and speed? How long will it take to reach Beros Town?"
Beros Town.
It is the island closest to the Great Way in the entire West Sea. It is similar to the town of Roger in the East Sea and can be regarded as the island of departure for the Great Way in the Great Way.
"If nothing unexpected happens, with the speed of this ship, you can reach it in at most a month, Captain." Lafitte jumped and fell lightly from the mast, like a piece of paper.
Rhodes nodded and said, "I'll leave the sailing issue to you."
With Lafitte in charge of sailing, even if it is limited to the work of a navigator, it can save Rhodes a lot of thought and time.
"Captain, don't worry."
Lafitte bowed slightly and watched Rhodes return to the cabin with a smile.
Before boarding the ship, his knowledge of Rhodes was limited to various intelligence and news. In the past few days he boarded the ship, he had a more detailed understanding of all aspects of Rhodes and confirmed more that Rhodes was a captain with value of following.
