The White Whale Regiment's combat prowess was indeed impressive. Under Qiu Heng's command, they managed to break through one of the Sharks' defensive lines in a short period of time. Of course, Qiu Heng paid a price as well. One of their ships was sunk by the enemy, and there were casualties among their men.
This mutual destruction was the biggest reason why they didn't attack each other. When this concern was broken, Qiu Heng's eyes turned red with bloodlust. Naka's team of fifteen island guards was all killed by Qiu Heng's men. Less than 10 minutes into the battle, the casualties on both sides had reached double digits.
Perhaps these casualties didn't sound like much, but only those who didn't understand pirates would think so. In today's society, although pirates existed, they were getting fewer and fewer. Therefore, human resources were very precious to pirates. This was also why they were willing to sacrifice everything to rope in Xu Yun and Lin Ge.
Casualties were the last thing pirates wanted to see. In order to reduce casualties, pirates didn't even like large-scale conflicts and fights. This wasn't a casual remark. It was a fact. Real pirates didn't like fighting and killing as much as characters in 2D comics or movies.
To be able to expand one's forces to the level of the White Whale Gang and the Sharks, one had to accumulate strength bit by bit. They had to constantly recruit new recruits and do their best to avoid sacrificing as much as possible. This was the real reason for their expansion.
The White Whale Gang's reputation in these waters was always a little higher than the Sharks'. This was also because the hunters under the Magpie World would always target the Sharks' members. Therefore, even though Naka of the Sharks was better at distributing wealth than Qiu Heng, his men were always struggling between increasing and decreasing.
In fact, this could be seen from ancient times to the present. For example, the pirate flag and the skull! In normal life, you would think it was a fashion to see the skull element. But in the vast sea, if you saw the skull flag, how would you feel? How nervous, how panicked!
The reason why the pirates made the flag into a skull, making it so ostentatious and mighty, wasn't for fashion or aesthetics. They made the flag look like this because they wanted it to be a deterrent! Most of the time, when pirates wanted to rob a merchant ship, they didn't even need to fire a single shot.
They relied on their deterrence to win. Not only could they obtain rich spoils of war, but they also did not suffer any casualties and did not consume their firearms. As compared to a real fight, it was much more practical.
This was also why pirates liked to give the other party a certain amount of time after hijacking and surrounding a merchant ship. They wanted the other party to cooperate and surrender. As long as the other party surrendered and handed over their belongings, not a single life would be harmed. They would also threaten to kill everyone who resisted.
Over time, this deterrence slowly accumulated. People began to know that as long as they cooperated, they would be able to stay alive. As long as they resisted, they would be slaughtered. Slowly, the pirates only needed a flag to intimidate the other party.
Perhaps some people would say that this was all nonsense and that people without much life experience were just making things up. These days, the pirates in Somalia did not use any pirate flags. Instead, they directly came up to capture people.
That was for sure! They did not need deterrence because they had captured people to extort money from the governments of various countries. Deterrence was bullsh * t. They would definitely take action. What was the point of making a pirate flag for no reason?
The same was true for the Beluga Clan. In this part of the sea, their flag was a symbol of majesty. Even when Qiu Heng brought Xu Yun to rob the cruise ship that the greedy Chinese tycoon, Meng Chao, had rented for three hundred million yuan, they did not make a big fuss. They only used threats to solve all the problems. They got what they wanted without using a single soldier. What was the point of killing people? Not only was it a waste of bullets, but it was also a sin.
The extremely traditional Qiu Heng led so many brothers of the Beluga Clan. In the face of so many slender waists, long legs, and perky buttocks, not a single one of them acted impulsively. This was also the limit of their rules. If Naka had brought his men that night, perhaps those women would have really suffered. They might have been taken to an island far away from the emperor to expand his harem.
After Qiu Heng broke through the defense island, he went straight in. Naka also led his men to welcome him. The main ships of both sides approached bit by bit. This collision was definitely a clash of two sides. One was the traditional representative of the rules, Qiu Heng, and the other was the unruly Naka, who was more like a bandit.
The first clash of two major forces in the Pacific Ocean would definitely be recorded in the history of this part of the sea.
Finally, when the two ships were about to collide, they stopped! The distance between the bow and the bow was less than ten meters!
Naka had Xu Yun and Lin Ge behind him, so he was full of confidence. Qiu Heng's confidence was in his bones. To be honest, he had always looked down on the unruly Naka. To be more serious, he even felt that Naka saying that he was a pirate was an insult to pirates.
"Qiu Heng, we have always minded our own business. Don't blame me for falling out with what you did today." Naka walked to the front of the deck and looked at Qiu Heng, Mo Tai, and the others without fear. Everyone's strength was equal, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Qiu Heng smiled. He had already seen Xu Yun and Lin Ge behind Naka. Although he didn't know what had happened between them, he still wanted to express his intentions to Xu Yun, "Naka, for so many years, I have always turned a blind eye to you because you have never done anything that I can't accept. But today, I can't tolerate this. "
"What did I do!" Naka asked with a sneer. Was it because Xu Yun had taken the initiative to seek refuge with him that he, Qiu Heng, couldn't help but be envious and jealous?
Qiu Heng seemed to be communicating with Naka, but everything he said was for Xu Yun. "Brother Yun is my friend. I heard that you brought his friend to the island. Then I can't ignore this matter. "
Brother Yun? Naka was startled. He turned to look at Xu Yun. He didn't understand. Were the two of them that close?
What was going on! Naka was puzzled. Could it be that he had been used by someone to create a diversion? Who were Xu Yun and Lin Ge, who were standing behind him, helping!
"Would I believe your nonsense?! Hahahaha! " Naka suddenly laughed wildly and said, "Xu Yun is my distinguished guest, my friend, and his friend is also my distinguished guest! I don't need an outsider like you to interfere in my own affairs. Qiu Heng, if you want to sow discord, then don't blame me for being impolite. "
"But from Brother Yun's expression, it seems that he hasn't seen his friend." Qiu Heng's words were like sharp silver needles that pierced into Naka's heart.
Naka took a deep breath and roared in anger, "That's my business! After we take care of you, I will naturally let them meet as good friends! This is a matter between us friends. Captain Qiu, you don't need to worry about it. Captain Qiu, you trespassed into my forbidden area. Let's settle this matter properly! "
"We should settle this matter properly!" Qiu Heng sneered and then shouted at Xu Yun, "Brother Yun, don't be fooled by him. I've heard about your friend. She's being held captive by Nazca. But don't worry, I will definitely help you find her! "
Xu Yun frowned. This matter really made him in a dilemma.
"Mr. Xu Yun, please believe in our captain's words!" Mo Tai added, "If he can get people to inquire about this news, then he can also get people to help you find her on this island!"
Hearing this, Naka also understood why Xu Yun knew that there were shadow clansmen on his island. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Bastard Qiu Heng, you actually placed an informant beside me …"
"So what?" Qiu Heng also completely shed all pretense of cordiality.
"Xu Yun, I treat you sincerely. I will do what I say! You and I will work together to kill Qiu Heng. I will definitely let you leave with your friend! " Naka turned around and said, "Believe me, his people will never be able to help you find your friend. Only I can!"
