After the failure of the Grand Line, the Krieg Pirates fled to the East China Sea. During the period, they encountered a naval encirclement and suppression. When they arrived at Barati, there were only more than a hundred people left. After the failure of Barati, many pirates ran away and quit the pirate group.
There are only about thirty people left on this island.
Lily did not kill these pirates, she just made them faint, and they are all still alive.
Palu was the first to wake up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a dazzling fire. The bonfire was relit. Sager and Lily sat around the bonfire, looking at this side.
He quickly climbed up, and when the shields in his hands rubbed against each other, flames ignited, "Taste the flame of my Flame Palu!"
"Palu, stop it."
A voice sounded from beside him, Palu turned his head and the person stopped.
Ajin was right next to him, watching the pirates gradually waking up, and said, "There's no need to fight anymore."
"Captain Ajin?" Palu looked puzzled, then thought of something, looked around, and asked, "Where is Chief Krieg?"
"Dead."
Ajin said something that shocked the pirates. He pointed to where Krieg was and said, "He was killed by Captain Sager."
They looked in that direction and all broke out in cold sweat.
There were no people there, just a pile of minced meat.
"Captain Sager?" A pirate spotted Huadian, "Captain Ajin, have you joined them?"
"That's right."
Sager took over the conversation and stood up. "We are all pirates. It doesn't matter who we follow. Ajin has already joined my pirate group, and now I sincerely invite you to join my pirate group. How about it?"
Everyone looked at each other, and one of the pirates took two steps forward with a knife in hand, staring closely at Sager, and then raised the knife to the sky, "Captain!"
"captain!"
"Captain Sager!"
The shouts came out of these pirates' mouths without any distortion.
"Captain Sager has defeated Krieg, he must be stronger, we are still the overlord of the East China Sea!" the pirate said excitedly.
Now that Captain Ajin has joined, what else is there to say? Just join.
Sager was not surprised at all.
Not everyone is like Ajin. There are indeed some people on the sea who will acknowledge the captain for life, but more pirates will still act based on reputation and interests.
Expect all pirates to be loyal to death?
This is a cruel sea, not a game.
The pirate captain's duty is to maintain the gang, not to nitpick and find out who is the most loyal.
"Very good! You won't suffer any loss if you follow me. We all become pirates for freedom and money. I am not stingy with money. I will take 50% of the spoils in the future. The remaining 50% will be divided between those who participated in the robbery and those who did not. I guarantee that everyone will have a share!"
"Really? Captain Sager!" A pirate's eyes lit up.
"Guaranteed authenticity!"
Sager raised his head and said, "If you become a cadre, your share will be higher. Everyone, work hard!"
"oh!!!"
This made all the pirates shout with their weapons raised.
Sager is confident about this and doesn't worry about anyone being resentful.
While everyone was still asleep, he asked Ajin how the loot was divided.
The answer was beyond his expectations.
The Krieg Pirates are a standard pirate group, and their division of the spoils is also the most standard. The captain gets 80%, and the remaining 20% is divided up. Pirates who participate in the robbery can get a share of the spoils, while those who do not participate get nothing and can only eat and drink.
When I heard this, Sager's teeth almost fell out.
In his memory, the traditional old pirate captains in his hometown only had a few spoils of war, which would not exceed 14%. This was the most brutal one, and they might be thrown into the sea by rebellion in two days.
A real pirate captain only gets two shares, and the rest belongs to everyone.
What does "two shares" mean? It's not 20%, it's an equal share of the spoils, plus one share for the captain.
If ten people fight over a piece of gold, they have to divide it into eleven parts; just like ten apples have to be cut into eleven parts, instead of the captain taking two apples.
Why did Sager try all kinds of jobs and finally become a pirate? Because he felt that being a pirate really didn't make money. He carried a bounty and robbed people everywhere, with his head hanging on his belt every day, going out in the wind and rain, but in the end he didn't make much money.
Who is willing to do it?
But the sea here has its own sea conditions. Others only take 80%, but Sager is very generous and only wants half!
If you rob 10,000 Baileys, he will directly take 5,000!
This deal is worth it!
If he continues like this, it won't take long for him to accumulate wealth, buy a large piece of land, recruit a bunch of followers, live the life of a corrupt landlord, and reach the peak of his life from then on!
"Guys, let's have a party to enhance our friendship!" Sager laughed.
"Oh!!" the pirates roared excitedly.
Then no one moved.
Sager blinked and repeated, "I said, let's have a party."
"Oh!!" the pirates continued to shout.
"What the hell!"
A vein bulged out of Sager's forehead. "Bring the food up here. We're having a banquet. Stop standing here. Get moving!"
"captain."
Palu raised his hand weakly, "Where is the food?"
Sager: "…"
He looked at these pirates and had a bad feeling in his heart, "You guys, no food?"
The pirates collectively shook their heads.
"What a coincidence!"
Sager spread his hands and his face fell: "I don't have it either."
He was also counting on these people to have some spare food, so they could eat something hot and drink some wine to have some fun.
In the end, no one had anything to eat!
Ajin said at this time: "Captain Sager, let's go directly to the sea. There are many sea vessels nearby. We can rob one."
"Good idea, but there is a small problem"
Sager smiled and said, "I don't have a boat."
Ah Jin: "…"
No boat?
How did they get here without a boat?
Could they fly?
He looked at Sager, who had just been boasting, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He felt that following this captain might cause a little problem.
"It's not a big problem."
Sager waved his hand and said, "If there is no boat, we can build one. Let's get started. There are so many pieces of wood here. Let's make a few rafts and go out to sea!"
As long as you don't let your mind slip, there are always more solutions than problems!
It's just that there are no ships. This is a forest island with raw materials everywhere.
…
Sager had no boat, and these pirates only had a small boat that could seat five people at most, but there were thirty-five of them in total, so they had to build a raft on the spot.
Originally, Ajin had a chance to get a boat.
They retreated from Barati to this island and had few supplies, so even food and drink became a problem. They originally planned to rob a ship at sea, so Ajin took his men on a small wooden boat and went to the sea, where they happened to encounter a merchant ship.
But he felt that he could no longer do such a despicable thing. He must hang the pirate flag and rob openly, instead of pretending to be a victim and launching a surprise attack as planned by Krieg.
But how could a small boat catch up with a large sailing ship, not to mention that the sailing ship also had cannons. They were discovered before they got close to the pirate flag, so they naturally returned empty-handed.
This was also the reason why Krieg punished Ajin at that time, and then, Krieg died.
Boom!
At daybreak, a big tree collapsed with a loud bang. Several pirates held axes and cut off the branches of the tree, turning them into logs, which were then carried to the seaside by two pirates.
"captain!"
Palu came over and shouted, "We have already cut the wood and can set sail anytime!"
The pirates were certainly not slow when it came to cutting down trees, especially Lily and Ajin. Lily chopped down a big tree with one stroke of her rapier, and Ajin destroyed the tree from the bottom with his walking stick, but it took some time to make the tree into logs and tie them up with ropes.
As for ropes suitable for tying logs, Krieg had them.
He still had his shoulder shield, which contained several poison gas bombs and a pistol, as well as a mesh rope of excellent quality, perfect for tying wood.
Sager was playing with a pistol at this time. This thing was taken from Krieg's shoulder armor and round shield. It was of good quality.
As a pirate, how can you be without a gun?
In addition, he also confiscated Krieg's cloak and put it on.
He nodded at Palu, and then said to Ajin beside him: "Ajin, are you sure there will be ships passing through this route?"
"Yes, there are quite a few. You will encounter them as long as you go out to sea." Ajin responded.
Sager smiled, raised the pistol high and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
Gunshots rang out on the island, attracting the attention of other pirates.
"Boys! Let's go out to sea!!"
