Chapter 137
...
"Captain Baigu is the strongest!"
"Yes, yes, what are the powerful pirates of Demon Valley Town? In my opinion, compared with you, the captain, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. As long as you give the order, captain! We brothers will definitely kill them without leaving any trace. When the time comes, the captain only needs to raise his arms and roar, and everyone will bow down and beg to join your command, captain!"
A pirate with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks picked up the captain's smelly feet and blew them hard
"Hahaha! well said! reward!"
Obviously, this flattery made Captain Baigu feel very comfortable. He immediately took out a small piece of gold cake from his bag and threw it at the head of the pirate gangster.
""Ah, my!"
The pirate cried out in pain at first, but then he realized that what hit him was gold. He immediately laughed again, so happy that he forgot the pain and shouted excitedly:
"Thank you Captain! Thank you Captain! Long live the captain!"
When the pirates saw that those who flattered the captain would be rewarded with gold, the scene exploded.
The pirates on the deck were all scrambling to flatter the captain.
It's just that their cultural level was too average. , everything he said was the same, either that the captain was great, or that the captain was the strongest and most awesome, etc. Baigu listened with a smile on his face, but he said with contempt in his heart: There is really nothing new at all, let alone these are useful What do you think? Don’t I know it myself?
Geer’s eyes lit up in the crowd. This is a good move. He also wants to be flattered by his crew members like this.
"Hey, tall guy! Don't you want your life?"
A bamboo pole-shaped pirate who is nearly 3 meters tall thinks he has some ink in his belly and wants to show off his eloquence to get a reward.
However, his voice is relatively low in order to let the captain hear his shocking flattery.
, he squeezed forward with all his strength, and wanted to step on the wine barrel on the side to stand out from the crowd, but he was grabbed by a middle-aged pirate with a vicissitudes of life next to him, and he shook his hand away.
He looked back at the man and said in a dissatisfied tone:
"What are you doing? Let me go! If you want to make gold, figure it out yourself, why do you want to stop me from getting rich!"
The middle-aged pirate was also angry when he heard this, and immediately cursed:
"Damn it, you are so kind as to treat me like a donkey liver and lungs, you are new here! If you miss, just stand up and try! I don't care whether you live or die."
When the tall man saw the middle-aged pirate's appearance, he realized that the other party had stopped him out of good intentions. He quickly stepped forward to apologize and humbly asked for the reason.
Seeing his sincere attitude, the middle-aged pirate acted like this Then he pretended to be relieved, drank the wine in one gulp, and motioned for him to come over, and he hurriedly followed the instructions.
"You are new here and may not understand the taboos on our ship. Let me tell you, our captain hates it when others are talking to him, standing taller than him and looking down at him! This is a taboo! With the exception of Gang Dan'er, he is a fool and the captain's most important subordinate."
"If anyone else dares to talk to him while looking down at him, he might just shoot you to death if he's in a bad mood. He might not kill you on the spot if he's in a good mood, but next time when there's a firefight with other pirate groups, you'll definitely be placed in the front and the most dangerous cannon fodder position. Don't you realize that among the hundred or so people on our ship, tall people like you are rare?"
"Si!"
The tall man took a breath!
"Hehe, because they all accidentally violated the captain's taboo and were unknowingly...Click!"
The middle-aged pirate made a gesture on his neck with his thumb, and the meaning was obvious.
"ah! this...Thank you so much for the reminder! I almost lost my life! elder brother! You will be my brother from now on!"
The tall man was trembling all over. He was already broken into a cold sweat by these words. He quickly held the middle-aged pirate's hand and thanked him profusely. He also took advantage of the opportunity to recognize him as a relative.
"have to! Then I will accept you as my little brother. Just pay more attention when nothing happens. I still have some strength on this ship. I will protect you from now on!"
The middle-aged pirate agreed with a smile. Although what he said before was true and not a lie, his purpose of saving people was not out of kindness. He just wanted to save this new tall man. Pirates pull into their own small groups. On this kind of pirate ship, where the strong are respected, some mediocre minions will naturally form gangs to form countless small groups in order to survive.
Multiple small groups usually oppose each other and plot against each other, which will obviously reduce the unity of the pirate group, but the pirate captain will not care about this phenomenon at all, let alone take care of it.
Pirates are a group of different people. What kind of unity do villains who have evil intentions but are temporarily tied together for common interests need?
As long as the captain's own strength can suppress them, he can let these cannon fodder work for him, otherwise he will be replaced by someone who can suppress them. Captain.
And most pirate groups follow the path of big fish eating small fish and rapidly expanding by annexing other pirate groups. At this time, these internal small groups will reflect the value of their existence, just like just now In this scene, this kind of bringing in new people can quickly help the pirate group digest the newly annexed minions.
Just when Captain Baigu thought he could save the bag of gold cakes in his hand, that man happened. He spoke:
"I have never seen such a handsome, extraordinary, tall and majestic hero as Captain Baigu! Even if Roger, the Pirate King, is still alive, I feel ashamed standing in front of the captain. My admiration for the captain is really like the endless stream of a river, and like a tsunami that strikes out of control!"
"good! good! good!"
Bai Gu's face flushed and his back straightened up even more. He clapped his hands excitedly and said"Hello" three times in a row.
"So well said! reward!"
"Thank you Captain Baigu!"
Ger took the two gold cakes that were thrown at him and bowed his hands to the envious pirates around him.
"Your boy is very eloquent and has a bright future, but I am still a little self-aware. Compared with Roger, the Pirate King, I am still a little behind. There is no way that the name of One Piece will make Roger the center of attention wherever he goes. The light should be Overwhelming everyone, but fortunately he is dead! Ha ha ha ha! Once I take off the title of Pirate King, no one will be more dazzling than me!"
Baiko shouted excitedly, and a group of pirates also shouted in cooperation that Captain Invincible will definitely become the new Pirate King.
Gerdu admired this guy's arrogance, and continued with a smile:
"I didn’t expect that Captain Baigu could be so low-key with your achievements today. You are really a role model for our generation. It is worth learning from us young people. However, Captain Baigu, no matter how low-key you are, it’s useless. An outstanding man like you, no matter in the world Everywhere is like a firefly in the dark, so bright and outstanding!"
Damn it! You have such a mouth!
Never had the pirates heard of such a literary and sophisticated flattery. They all turned their heads and looked at Geer who was speaking with a ghostly expression on their faces.
"This person's strength is unfathomable! I am not as good as him!"
The tall man shook his head in shame, then silently retreated to the back....
