Chapter 855: The Flying Pirates' Desolation and Rejuvenation
The turmoil of this battle is not over yet.
The atmosphere in the Flying Pirates was somewhat quiet.
There are only twelve fleet captains left, a significant reduction from the original nearly thirty.
And most of the high-end combat power was also lost.
These are all important fighting forces of the Flying Pirates.
After the bloody battle, the country finally recovered a little, but suddenly returned to the state before liberation.
The losses are even greater than in a bloody battle.
You have to know that the bloody battle lasted for three months, but in this battle, the war only started for four hours.
Such an outcome was hard for both Ski and Reinhard to accept.
In such a short period of time, only 19 people were left out of the more than 100 officers, excluding Goenitz and Pain at the Navy Headquarters.
If Goenitz and his men had not returned in time, their losses would have been even greater.
Most of the members were seriously injured and needed a long time to recover.
This incident will cause huge turmoil within the Feikong Pirates.
A significant reduction in the number of fleet captains will lead to the collapse of Reinhardt's system of dividing the territories under his command among the various fleets.
Although only the fleet captain was sacrificed, without the fleet captain, it means that the entire fleet has no need to exist.
After all, the fleet captain is the core of a fleet.
Although it is possible to promote a new fleet captain to fill the position of the original fleet captain, it is easier said than done, but it is not that easy.
To become a fleet captain, one needs to possess strong combat power to suppress other pirates.
If they are not strong enough, they can be easily assassinated, which will only lead to chaos within the Feikong Pirates.
Besides, not all pirates have the idea of commanding a fleet.
The war is over and it's time to think about what's next.
Losses are inevitable.
However, such a loss was completely beyond the expectations of the Flying Pirates.
Apart from the Big Three, there are only twenty-one members of the Flying Pirates left alive.
Among them were twelve fleet captains.
Being able to survive is enough to prove their strength, and they are all qualified to become fleet captains.
There doesn't seem to be any problem from this perspective, and the problem can be solved by promoting them to fleet captains.
However, most of the remaining nine people had no intention of becoming fleet captains, and Shiqi and the others were aware of this.
In fact, they are Shiqi's direct subordinates.
Why is this happening?
Shi Ji and the others already knew this, through a simple description.
The members who died were basically killed by Army General Isaac, and no one could restrain him.
Even the fog field created by Sassim could not interfere with Isaac. He only needed to kill the pirates when he saw them.
Several other top fighters were also difficult to stop.
That's why they suffered such heavy losses.
We are at a disadvantage in terms of top combat power.
The Hiku Pirates suffered heavy losses in this operation, and it was a complete failure for Shiki.
The results were good, but all the casualties were his own men, and he felt like a sucker.
Even Shiki felt a little down inside.
Thinking back to his confidence at the beginning of the war and then looking at the final result, Shiqi felt like a fool.
Completely fell into the trap of the world government.
If Gurado hadn't noticed something was wrong, and if Goenitz and Payne hadn't rushed back in time, the remaining people would have suffered more sacrifices.
"Gudong, gudong!"
Back at the base camp, Shiqi sat cross-legged inside the palace, drinking wine in big gulps, with no joy at all in his heart.
In the past, when a war ended, they would hold a grand banquet.
But what about now? What qualifications do we have to hold a banquet?
This war made him feel deeply frustrated, which undermined his confidence and made him feel depressed.
It is impossible for Shi Ji to be without feelings for the cadres who are willing to submit to him and join his team.
They believed in themselves and were willing to fight for their ambitions. Now that they had suffered such a huge loss, how could they save their dignity?
This was a strategic mistake on his part, he was too careless.
Things that were completely avoidable have led to the current situation.
The war should have ended long ago, but he didn't stop it early.
The lesson this time was a painful one.
The confrontation with the World Government over the years has caused him to relax his vigilance against the World Government and become overconfident.
The light was a little dim. Reinhardt stood not far away. He was not worried about the situation of his admiral.
He believed that Shiqi would bounce back.
Just need a moment to vent.
Even though the loss was so huge, it still did not damage the foundation of the Flying Pirates.
There is only one core member of the Flying Pirates, and that is "Golden Lion" Shiki.
If Shiki died, the Flying Pirates would be disbanded on the spot.
There is no such thing as someone inheriting Shiki's will.
In a real war, especially when facing the world government, top combat forces are the real main force.
However, most of the powerful combat capabilities of the Flying Pirates are still maintained.
Neither he nor Atlas died.
Monsters that have grown up, such as Goenitz, Payne, Ciel, Gurado, and Sasme, are still there.
They are the real pillars of support.
The Flying Pirates are still the strongest pirate group in the world. Apart from the Monster Legion and the Pluto Pirates, other forces cannot shake them at all.
"Perhaps losing this war is not a bad thing."
Reinhardt thought to himself, he didn't know when even he became arrogant.
Not paying enough attention to the world government, being overconfident is arrogance.
Obviously, the world government taught them a vivid lesson this time.
Did it have a big impact on the Hiku Pirates? Actually, not really.
After all, in the Hiku Pirates, most of these members were attracted by the powerful presence of Shiki the "Golden Lion".
As for how deep the feelings are, actually they are not.
With the support of the Flying Pirates, one can gain status and wealth.
Without orders from the headquarters, some fleet captains could not even command the fleets under their command.
There are actually not many people like "Tyrant" Grodo and "Speedy" Ciel who run the fleet as their own pirate group.
Without absolute strength and prestige, who would submit to you? Moreover, there is the "Golden Lion" Shi Ji above.
This is their true leader.
As long as we stabilize the internal situation, this matter will soon be forgotten.
In the Hiku Pirates, as long as Shiki is still there, no one can cause trouble.
Reinhardt already has a solution to this problem.
Besides, they still have a trump card.
Two Power Rocks obtained from the Bondi Pirates.
The "ancient weapon" being sought.
Now, we have obtained some clues and roughly determined its location.
This is the confidence of the Flying Pirates.
Shi Ji stood up, his aura becoming more domineering and powerful.
"Jie hahahaha!"
Along with Shiki's angry laughter, purple lightning danced like lightning snakes, carrying terrifying power and containing Shiki's will, shattering the darkness!
A smile appeared on Reinhardt's face, he knew that Shiki had regained his spirits.
There is still a long way to go, and the war with the World Government is not over yet.
