Chapter 137 You are a good speaker

...

"Captain Baigu is the strongest!"

"Yes, yes, yes. The pirates from Demon Valley are nothing but chickens and dogs compared to you, Captain. As long as you give the order, we brothers will be able to kill them all. Then, you only need to raise your arms and shout, and they will all bow down and beg to join your army!"

A pirate with a pointed face and monkey cheeks picked up the captain's stinky feet and blew them hard.

"Hahaha! Well said! Reward!"

Apparently, Captain Baigu was very pleased with the flattery. He immediately took out a small gold cake from his bag and threw it at the pirate's head.

"Ah, hey!"

The pirate cried out in pain at first, but then he realized that what hit him was gold. He immediately started laughing 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 they could get gold by flattering the captain, the scene immediately exploded.

The pirates on the deck were vying to flatter the captain.

It's just that their education level is too average, and the words they say are all the same, either "The captain is great" or "The captain is the strongest and the most awesome". Bai Gu listened with a smile, but in his heart he despised them and said: There is really no novelty at all, and do I need you to say these? Don't I know it myself?

Gel's eyes lit up in the crowd. This was a good idea. He also wanted to be flattered by his crew members in this way.

"Hey, tall guy! Are you going to die?"

A bamboo-shaped pirate who was nearly 3 meters tall thought he had some knowledge and wanted to show off his eloquence to ask for a reward, but his voice was relatively small. 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 beside him to make himself stand out from the crowd, but was stopped by a middle-aged pirate with a weathered face next to him.

He shook off the other person's hand, looked back at the man, and said in a dissatisfied tone:

"What are you doing? Let me go! If you want to make gold, find a way yourself. Why are you trying to stop me from getting rich?"

The middle-aged pirate was also annoyed when he heard this, and immediately cursed:

"Fuck, you really take my kindness for granted. You must be new here! If you miss, just stand up there and try! I don't care whether you live or die."

When the tall man saw the middle-aged pirate's look, he realized that the other party really 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 pretended to calm down, drank the wine in the glass, and motioned him to come closer.

The tall man hurriedly did as he was told.

"You are new here and may not understand the taboos on our ship. Let me tell you, our captain hates it most when someone stands taller than him and looks down at him when talking to him! This is a big taboo! The only exception is Gangdaner, who is a fool and the captain's most important subordinate."

"If the others dare to talk to him while looking down at him, he might just shoot you 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 we fight with other pirate groups, you will definitely be assigned to the most dangerous cannon fodder position in the front. Don't you realize that among the hundreds of people on our ship, tall people like you are rare?"

"S!"

The tall guy gasped!

"Hehe, because they all accidentally violated the captain's taboo and were... snapped!"

The middle-aged pirate gestured to his neck with his thumb, and the meaning was obvious.

"Ah! This... Thank you so much for your reminder, brother! I almost lost my life! Brother! You will be my real brother from now on!"

The tall man shuddered all over and broke into a cold sweat after hearing these words. He quickly shook the middle-aged pirate's hand and thanked him repeatedly, and took the opportunity to acknowledge him as a relative and establish a relationship with him.

"Okay! Then I'll accept you as my little brother. Just be more careful in the future. I'm quite powerful on this ship. I'll protect you from now on!"

The middle-aged pirate agreed with a smile. Although what he said before was true and he did not lie, his purpose of saving people was not out of kindness. He just wanted to bring this new tall pirate into his own small group.

On this kind of pirate ship where there is no order and the strong are respected, some minions with ordinary strength will naturally form gangs and countless small groups in order to survive.

Although there are so many small groups within the group that are usually opposed to and calculating against each other, which will obviously reduce the unity of the pirate group, the pirate captain does not care about this phenomenon at all, let alone control it.

Pirates are a group of villains who have their own ulterior motives but are temporarily tied together for common interests. What unity do they need?

As long as the captain's own strength can suppress them, he can make these cannon fodder work for him. Otherwise, he will replace them with someone who can suppress them as the captain.

And most pirate groups follow the route of big fish eating small fish and rapid expansion by annexing other pirate groups. At this time, these small groups within will show the value of their existence, just like what happened just now. This kind of old bringing in new people can quickly help the pirate group digest the newly acquired minions.

Just when Captain Baigu thought he could save the bag of gold cakes in his hand, the man spoke:

"I have never seen a hero as handsome, elegant, and tall as Captain Baigu! Even if the Pirate King Roger were alive, he would feel inferior to the captain. My admiration for the captain is like the endless torrent of the river, and like a tsunami that cannot be stopped once it strikes!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Bai Gu's face flushed and his back straightened even more. He clapped his hands excitedly and said "good" three times in a row.

"That's very well said! Reward!"

"Thank you, Captain Baigu!"

Gel took the two gold cakes thrown to him and bowed to the envious pirate minions around him.

"You are a good speaker, and you have a bright future. But I still have some self-awareness. Compared with the Pirate King Roger, I am still a little bit worse. There is nothing I can do about it. The title of Pirate King makes Roger the focus wherever he goes. His brilliance should overshadow everyone else. But fortunately, he is dead! Hahahaha! When I take off the title of Pirate King, no one will be more dazzling than me!"

Baigu shouted excitedly, and a group of pirate minions also shouted in unison that the captain was invincible and would definitely become the new Pirate King.

Gel was somewhat impressed by this guy's arrogance, and continued with a smile:

"I didn't expect that you, Captain Baigu, could be so low-key despite your current achievements. You are truly a role model for our generation and are worthy of learning from for us young people. However, it is useless for you to be low-key, Captain Baigu. An outstanding man like you is like a firefly in the dark, so bright and outstanding no matter where you are!"

Damn! Your mouth!

The pirates had never heard such eloquent and layered flattery before, and they all turned around and looked at Gel who was speaking with a look of surprise on their faces.

"This man's strength is unfathomable! I am really not as good as him!"

The tall man shook his head, feeling ashamed of himself, and then quietly retreated to the back.
