Then, Vic pointed at Hawkins and Celia." This is the vice-captain, Basil Hawkins, and my sister Celia. Remember this, you bastards! Did you hear that?"
"Yes, yes, Captain Vic-"
"I know, I know!"
"-we'll remember that!”
The pirates looked at Vic and the other two with respect and nodded repeatedly.
" Since you've joined my pirate group, you'll have to do your job well. If anyone dares to resist me-" A sinister smile appeared on Vic's face as he spoke. He then turned around abruptly and pointed at the five people who were hung up behind him. He chuckled and said," You'll end up like them!"”
As soon as Vic finished speaking, the tree trunk that was originally tied to Warbaton and the others suddenly began to tighten.
Creak, creak, creak...
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
"It hurts, it hurts…"
"Spare me, please spare me, Captain Vic-"
"Ahhh, spare me! I'm willing to follow you, Captain Vic!!”
"Help, help!"
The tree trunk wrapped around their bodies tighter and tighter. The five of them screamed in pain and began to cry for mercy.
Vic was unmoved by the five people's screams and pleas. He stared coldly at the ordinary pirates whose faces had turned pale from fear. Only these people were the obedient cannon fodder that Vic needed.
That's right, Vic recruited these pirates to recruit some cannon fodder and handymen. After all, in the future, the work of steering the ship and cleaning would definitely be handed over to these cannon fodder. If it was a battle, Vic would recruit stronger companions to board the ship.
They were cannon fodder. In any case, strength was not important. They could just recruit after a batch died.
" Aaa
Celia turned her head slightly and couldn't bear to look anymore.
" Celia, don't be afraid. These are pirates who do all kinds of evil things. With their reputation, more innocent people have died in their hands." Hawkins saw the discomfort on Celia's face and said," Think about the people who died under their swords. They only ended up like this because they were inferior to others!"”
"Think about it. If we were the ones caught today, what would they do to us?!”Hawkins turned to look at the five people who were howling in despair in the tree trunk. His expression did not change at all." What Vic is doing now is just what they did to those weak civilians. In this sea, the weak are only waiting to be slaughtered. If we don't want our lives to be controlled by others, we have no choice but to become stronger, even if the road to becoming stronger is paved with blood and corpses!”
Hawkins said, his left hand subconsciously gripping the hilt of his sword at his waist. He said firmly," We have no way out. We can only keep going. We either succeed or die at the feet of others! Do you understand?"
Hearing Hawkins's determination, Celia pursed her thin lips and gritted her teeth. She forced herself to turn around and look at the five men who were screaming in the air. She stared at them without blinking. Tears gradually blurred her eyes. Celia cried," I know!" I will definitely work hard to change. For Vic, for Hawkins, for myself, I will adapt as soon as possible! Please believe me!"
Hearing Celia's cries, the pirates all turned their eyes to her with surprise on their faces. However, no one dared to say a word.
Vic had also heard Hawkins 'words to Celia. Although it was a little cruel for a 14-year-old girl, Vic did not stop him. After all, their future path would not tolerate mercy. Since Celia had boarded the ship, she had to face this cruel reality.
However, looking at Celia who was holding back her tears, Vic couldn't help but reach out and rub Celia's head gently." I'm sorry, Celia!" You have no choice but to bear this burden. However, if I want to change our tragic fate, I have to do this. Even if I become a cruel and bloodthirsty demon, I definitely don't want to live a life worse than pigs and dogs! You'll understand, right, Celia?! After all, you're my last relative in this world..."
" Sob, sob, sob..." Celia couldn't hold it in anymore. She cried loudly and threw herself into Vic's arms to hug him tightly." I understand, Vic. I will work hard. I want to become stronger too. I want to help Vic fight the enemy. I want to protect Vic. I don't want to stand behind Vic forever!" Wuwuwu…"
Hearing Celia's heartfelt cries, Vic was slightly stunned. He had never considered letting Celia join the battle. After all, in his impression, Celia had always been a weak and helpless little girl who liked to cry. Now that Celia had spoken her mind, Vic had no choice but to consider increasing Celia's strength.
He had to at least let Celia have the ability to protect herself. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to protect her in future battles.
"I understand!" Vic made up his mind and smiled. He said softly," Hehehe, alright. Celia will train with us in the future. When you become stronger, you can protect me!”
"Yes!" Celia looked up at Vic with tears in her eyes and nodded seriously.
"Kakaka…"
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a tragic wail sounded. The five people's bodies were twisted in a strange position. All the bones in their bodies were broken, and their necks were tilted to one side. They were all dead.
"Hiss..."
"Eh?"
"Ah!"
"Oh,"
Looking at the dead Warbarton and the other three, the pirates widened their eyes and subconsciously opened their mouths wide. They were like dried fish that let out soundless cries.
Vic raised his head and looked at the dead people. With a wave of his hand, the tied tree branches loosened, and five corpses fell to the ground. His gaze wandered over the pirates who were lucky enough to survive. He said indifferently," You guys better remember today. I hate betrayal. If anyone dares to play any tricks, I will personally break every bone in his body, just like these five people!”
"Yes, yes, we wouldn't dare-"
"We'll definitely be loyal to Captain Vic!”
"That's right, that's right. We are Lord Vic's loyal servants..."
Being stared at by Vic's cold gaze, all the pirates couldn't help but shiver.
Vic didn't believe their nonsense. Anyway, as long as he was strong, they wouldn't dare to have any disloyalty. Moreover, when these nearly a hundred people finally entered the great sea route, who knew how many would be left!
Vic waved his hand, and the branches that bound the pirates loosened. With a thud, the pirates 'legs went soft and they fell to the ground.
"Alright, get moving quickly. Get rid of these five corpses and clean up the tavern!”Vic snorted coldly and instructed the pirates to clean up the tavern.
"Yes, Captain!" The pirates were all well-behaved and obedient, and their eyes were filled with fear. They worked very nimbly, and no one dared to play any tricks.
It seemed that the intimidation effect was not bad!
