Facing the overbearing Sheyan, the pirates huddled together. Their expressions were filled with dread towards Sheyan, yet they refused to open up a path. Of course, they didn't dare to launch an assault. Both parties remained in a deadlock for several minutes. Suddenly, Brother Black, who had occupied the highest vantage point, pointed towards the stern of the ship and laughed maniacally.
"Hahaha, One-eyed Hog has actually fled with his trusted aides in a small skiff. You fools are fighting for your lives here, yet your boss has abandoned you!"
Upon hearing this news, the pirates obstructing Sheyan's path were instantly struck by a bolt from the blue. They couldn't help but turn back to take a look. Indeed, One-eyed Hog was frantically clutching his severed arm like a stray dog, as he led his trusted aides away in a small skiff. Instantly, their hearts were disheartened, as their weapons dropped to the deck.
Speaking of which, One-eyed Hog was truly unlucky. Just when he was rowing his skiff to escape from Sheyan's tiger's den, he was coincidentally targeted by a British armed merchant ship. A few nautical miles away, his skiff was directly bombarded by a cannon, and his crew were truly fed to the sharks of the caribbean sea …...
Strictly speaking, One-eyed Hog didn't have any intentions of abandoning his comrades and fleeing. Instead, his willpower had already been seized, and the more he pondered, the more he felt Sheyan's group was formidable. One-eyed Hog was exceedingly clear of the prowess of the pirates he had left behind. Thus, he assumed Sheyan would unleash a massacre, and treated his cannon fodders as dead men. Hence, he decisively fled, because if he wasn't decisive, he wouldn't be able to escape. Thus, he decided to directly seek out the pirates of the main fleet to settle this debt.
How did he know Sheyan had ulterior motives? Was he intending to recruit his underlings? Hence, his series of actions had coincidentally fallen into Sheyan's plot, and was playing out according to Sheyan's script.
Observing that the pirates had lost their fighting spirit, Sheyan waved his hand. His spirited pirates raised their weapons and encircled the remaining 50 plus underlings of One-eyed Hog.
Although Sheyan's actual numbers were lesser, in terms of grandeur and grandeur, it was as though he was using 10 times the number to encircle the underlings of One-eyed Hog. These pirates trembled in fear as they huddled together. Some of them had already started begging, while others had started roaring in anger.
Facing such a situation, Sheyan coldly stood in front of them without uttering a single sound. Only when the despairing atmosphere had thoroughly dominated these pirates, did he viciously slash his saber twice in the air. Then, he scolded them loudly.
"You cowards, bastards, idiots, have you all lost the courage to fight?"
No one dared to answer Sheyan, but some started to feel insulted. Their blood surged as they raised their weapons and aimed at Sheyan.
At present, Sheyan nodded his head in satisfaction, as he gazed at these pirates who dared to raise their weapons against him.
"Very good, you guys who should have been thrown into the sea to add some nutrition to the sharks finally have some ability."
As he spoke, Sheyan turned his head and shouted to his pirate subordinates.
"Tell these dejected children who defeated them!"
The morale of the pirates was soaring, as they roared out hoarsely.
"You guys lost to the Third Mate of the Flying Dutchman! From the hands of Seaman Yan from the east! The decaying undead's heart is his spoils of war, and Ammand is being toyed with in his palms!! "
To the underlings of One-eyed Hog, what decaying undead and Ammand, couldn't compare to the thunderous reverberations of the Flying Dutchman. One must understand, the three legendary battleships held a position in the hearts of these pirates, as though it was a sacred land and a spiritual belief.
No matter how formidable their leader Chevalle was, his flagship still couldn't be ranked among the legendary battleships.
Instantly, the pirates started whispering amongst themselves, as they glanced at Sheyan from time to time. Obviously, they were trying to link him to the stories they heard from the different bartender dancers!
Not even half a minute later, the underlings of One-eyed Hog became extremely dispirited. A burly man wearing an animal skin vest walked forward dejectedly, as he bowed and said.
"Since we've lost to your excellency, then our defeat isn't unjust. To be able to use these old and frail pirates and a single-masted sailboat to successfully seize the Englishman's 3-masted 'Galen' Galley ship, you're indeed a renowned legendary battleship. We've decided to give up on resisting, please take our lives, if that can appease your anger. "
Sheyan snorted disdainfully and replied.
"Do you think my goal is to build a pitiful three-masted ship with double sails? You're wrong! I'm already sick of the life of a Third Mate, my goal, should at least be a 5-masted Caravel ship! My flagship, will definitely be ranked among the legendary battleships in the future! "
The burly man wearing the animal skin vest was dumbstruck.
"Excellency!!! Please forgive my presumptuousness, but no matter what, it's impossible for you to achieve that. In fact, with your current manpower, you can barely sail a 5-masted Caravel ship away. Moreover, that's at the speed of a menstruating wench! "
Sheyan earnestly replied.
"Roads are to be walked bit by bit, rice must be eaten mouthful by mouthful. I clearly understand this point. Therefore, I require sufficient manpower, sufficient brave lads! Your name, tell me your name, big fella. "
The burly man wearing the animal skin vest was sluggish for a moment, as he muttered.
"My name is Canbi, your excellency, you can also call me Ironhammer. Because before I came to the sea, I was a blacksmith, and a rather decent one at that."
"Then are you willing to accompany me in seizing a 5-masted Caravel ship? Or are you willing to accompany me in death? "Sheyan suddenly asked earnestly.
Canbi was stunned.
"Your excellency!! You're insane! "
Sheyan's gaze was so incisive as though it was about to devour a person.
"That's because I have sufficient strength! And sufficient confidence! "
Canbi stared blankly at Sheyan for a moment, before he bent his knees and knelt down, his forehead deeply touching the ground.
"I'm willing to serve you, your excellency!"
"Very good!" Sheyan pulled him up, before he raised his voice.
"Those who had the guts to raise their weapons against me, do you still dare to stand out and gather together?"
When these words were spoken, several pirates revealed indignant expressions, as they strode forward. Sheyan gazed at them with an admiring gaze, as he roared loudly in front of them.
"All of you have been commandeered by me! Do you hear me! Your bravery has moved me, therefore, I benevolently spared your lives, and granted you the honor of serving me! If you have a different opinion, you can stand out and jump into the sea. Is that okay? Is that okay? "
The pirates glanced at each other in dismay, but not a single one moved. If there wasn't a need, jumping into the sea under such weather was absolutely not a pleasant experience. Sheyan pointed to Canbi and continued.
"From now on, he will be your leader! You must learn to obey his commands, just like how you obey mine! As for those cowards who don't even have the courage to raise their weapons, they will be your subordinates. Those who disagree with my commands, or those who can't accept it, step forward. I'll give you 10 seconds to raise your questions! "
A skinny pirate with a long neck timidly raised his hand. Sheyan raised his chin. That pirate timidly asked.
"Sir, if I didn't understand wrongly, then your intention is for us to join the Flying Dutchman?"
Sheyan coldly replied.
"That ship is currently filled with half human half spirit freaks. If you are willing to join, I can issue you a letter of recommendation."
The people beside him let out stifled laughter. The skinny pirate shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's right.
"But I feel that sir, you aren't any different from us. Alright, I'm only referring to appearance."
Sheyan insipidly replied.
"There will always be an exception, isn't there? Now, I want to tell you clearly that I intend to become a captain myself. Therefore, you will have to serve me in the following period of time. Of course, I will also provide you with sufficient remuneration. I promise that the remuneration will be twice as much as what One-eyed Hog is giving you! "
When that skinny pirate heard till here, he nodded his head.
"Understood, I'm honored to be your subordinate. I have no other questions."
Sheyan waited for a while. Not only were the underlings of one-eyed Hog not dispirited, they were even whispering to each other with excited expressions. Sheyan knew that he had gambled correctly. The sea was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. If he directly used his strength to suppress them, these pirates who were used to chasing after the strong would naturally change their rudder.
Most importantly, the majority of these pirates belonged to the bottom rung of society, their loyalty to the top rung of society wasn't enough. For example, if you casually found a Foxconn employee and gave him a monthly salary of 5000 dollars, he would definitely abandon Taiwan's richest man Kwok Tae-ming's company and follow you. Clapping his hands, Sheyan issued his first command.
"Alright, gather up. Everyone board this beautiful 3-masted ship of the englishmen. You guys better change into the ugly red and white attire of the englishmen. Within 5 minutes, I want to see this ship moving! What, you're asking me how to deal with these englishmen? Wait, don't kill them, I have a better arrangement for these arrogant idiots. Everyone strip them of their clothes and chase them into the cargo hold! " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
