Chapter 198 Captains! Rewards! New immigrants! And challenges!
This deserted island is now a river of blood.
This is definitely not an exaggeration, but a true description as straightforward as a serious realistic literary work.
The bodies of tens of thousands of pirates cannot be said to be piled up like a mountain, but they are indeed scattered all over the ground.
The blood that flows freely continues to gather, and this island that was originally only stone now has streams, which is really gratifying.
Only the winners are still qualified to stand.
The winners who survived the Shura battlefield!
In the true sense, you can’t survive without fighting!
Ian looked down at them.
There are ten pirate groups in total, with a total of about 10,000 people.
To be honest, it is a bit exaggerated. On average, there are more than 1,000 people in each pirate group.
There are not many pirate groups of this size on the sea. Most pirate groups have only dozens of people. Pirate groups with hundreds of people are already considered large pirate groups.
Of course, it is impossible for each of these ten pirate groups to have this size.
In fact, there are such a large number because there are three very large groups among the ten pirate groups that survived.
The largest pirate group has a total of more than 5,000 people, which is a large fleet in itself.
The remaining two have about 3,000 troops each.
The total number of these three pirate groups is close to 12,000.
It is precisely because of the exaggerated number that they survived when the captain and cadres did not have an advantage in strength.
And the remaining seven pirate groups only have more than 1,000 people in total.
The pirate group with the least number of people is led by the thin and tall swordsman. It is a real elite pirate group with a total of more than 20 people.
At this time, the more than 13,000 people looked up at the sky quietly, looking up at Ian in the sky.
Ian flapped his wings and slowly lowered the altitude, “You did a good job. There is no doubt that you are qualified to join the Beast Pirates.”
”Great!”
Sasaki, who has regained his human form, waved his fist excitedly.
”Oh!!”
The boxer of the long-arm tribe posed a classic biceps posture, and his muscles suddenly bulged more, “It’s natural! I am the strongest among all the people here!”
”The strongest?”
One after another, eyes fell on him instantly.
The thin swordsman’s hand was already on the hilt of the rapier at his waist.
Sasaki twisted his neck unhappily, wishing to give this guy two punches immediately.
“Well, now introduce yourselves.”
Ian chuckled.
To be honest, except for Sasaki, all the others had never appeared in the original work, and he didn’t know any of them.
The boxer of the Long-Handed Clan raised his head and shouted, “Lord Ian, my name is Floch! Captain of the Boxer Pirates! From the Long-Handed Clan, bounty of 270 million Baileys!”
Sasaki was a little unhappy with this guy’s advance, and hurriedly said, “Lord Ian! I am Sasaki! A single-horned fish fishman! The ancient Triceratops form ability user of the Animal-type Dragon Dragon Fruit, captain of the Triceratops Pirates! Bounty of 96 million Baileys!”
Boxer Floch raised the corner of his mouth and cast a contemptuous look at Sasaki.
Sasaki smiled superficially but not inwardly.
Is it great to have a high bounty?
When Lord Ian killed the Golden Lion, the bounty was much lower than his! The tall and thin swordsman said indifferently, “Durin, the captain of the fencing pirate group, the bounty is 230 million Baileys.”
The twin pirates said one sentence each, “Jonathan is the older brother, Joshua is the younger brother, we are the captains of the good brother pirate group, and our bounties are 95 million Baileys and 94 million Baileys.”
Ian looked at them carefully.
The older brother Jonathan used a giant sword, and the younger brother Joshua carried a huge shield. They looked almost exactly the same, and even their expressions and tones were no different. They were just like clones. To be honest, it was a bit creepy.
The remaining pirate captains also introduced themselves one by one.
It must be said that these pirates who survived the chicken-eating competition with tens of thousands of people are more or less good at it.
TenAmong the eleven captains of the pirate group, the bounties of the brothers Sasaki and Jonathan are the lowest, and only the three of them are less than 100 million.
The bounties of the remaining eight are all over 100 million, and Dulin and Floch are over 200 million.
Any one of them has the strength to serve as a cadre under the emperor.
Even Floch, Dulin, Sasaki, Jonathan and Joshua, even among the pillars of the Beast Pirates, there are few who can match them.
Ian is still very satisfied.
Counting these more than 10,000 pirates, there are almost 30,000 pirates under his command that can be directly controlled, which is worthy of the emperor’s face.
“Very good.”
Ian looked down at the pirates, “From today on, you are my subordinates. I will lend you my name and the flag of the Beast Pirates, so that you can gallop freely on the sea of this world!”
“I will give you wealth and power, so that you can have everything you desire!”
Everyone’s face was excited. This is what they desire!
“So,”
Ian’s voice was like thunder, “You must offer loyalty to me. All acts of rebellion will only bring disaster and death!”
“Now, kneel down and swear your loyalty.”
The violent momentum suppressed it.
The whole island was shaking constantly.
Whether it was the pirate captains or the pirates under their command, everyone felt sore and fell to the ground unconsciously.
“Oh! Oh! Oh!!!”
Although Sasaki was pale, he raised his head and roared excitedly, “Such power!! Lord Ian! The invincible power in the world is exactly why I follow you!!”
“That’s right!”
Flock’s eyes also lit up, “It is this kind of man who is worthy of our following!”
“Lord Ian,”
Du Lin’s tone was indifferent, but his eyes were fanatical, “He is the man who will become the Pirate King!”
“Lord Ian!”
The pirate captains screamed and shouted, “Let us follow you!”
Ian’s mouth curled slightly.
People in this world are often so pure.
I have decided on one thing, that is, I will not turn back until I hit the wall.
“Yamato!”
Ian shouted.
“Here it comes!”
While Hancock gnashed his teeth in jealousy, Yamato came over with a smile and landed lightly on Ian’s head, holding a fruit in her hand.
The surface of the fruit had spiral patterns, and it was a devil fruit.
Ian looked down at the boxer Flock, “Flock, you did a good job.”
”I know your performance just now better than anyone else. Without a doubt, you are the best among all of them.”
The face of the long-armed boxer instantly showed a touch of excitement, and at the same time, he said as a matter of course, “Of course! Lord Ian, I am the strongest!”
”Lord Ian!”
Sasaki felt very unconvinced by this, “You said this guy is the best?”
Not only him, but also Du Lin and Jonathan brothers were unconvinced.
“Of course it’s him,”
Ian didn’t say anything, and Yamato above him said casually, “Although he didn’t kill the most people, he killed the most cadres. No matter how you think about it, he is much better than you.”
The girl was very surprised, “Do you still doubt Ian’s judgment?”
“Of course not!”
Sasaki shook his head quickly, “Why would I doubt Lord Ian? It’s just-just-”
“Just unwilling, right? Sasaki.”
Ian said with a smile.
”Yes, Lord Ian!”
Sasaki said very calmly.
”Then prove it to me later.”
Ian said with a smile, “There will be many opportunities in the future.”
”Yes!”
Sasaki felt that he was recognized, and his chest straightened up instantly.
Floch just sneered, a fool who didn’t know the height of the world.
I will let you know what is powerful later! “Then, take it, Floch.”
Ian said, “This is the reward we agreed on for you.”
Above his head, Yamato instantly threw the fruit in his hand down.
Floch reached out to catch it with a look of joy, and then swallowed it without hesitation.
”Hmm!”
He looked embarrassed, obviously not thinkingBut immediately, after feeling the power surging in his body, he clenched his fists excitedly.
”Here it comes! This is it!”
Dense brown-yellow hair grew out from the surface of his body, his brows and mouth became prominent, and his skin color became darker.
He was already quite tall, and his body expanded further. In the blink of an eye, he had become a behemoth over eight meters tall.
Flok turned into a huge ape.
”How is it, the ancient giant ape form of the animal-type human-human fruit,”
Ian chuckled, “Are you satisfied?” ”Very satisfied!”
Flok laughed excitedly, “I couldn’t be more satisfied!”
His body shrank and returned to the orc form. After turning into an ape, his arms were already very long. In addition, he was a long-armed tribe, so his arms became even longer, and he almost hung down when standing.
The increase in arm span is not a bad thing for a boxer.
Floch kept swinging his fists, feeling the power in his body increasing rapidly, and the smile on his face could not be stopped.
So strong!
I am so strong now!
”Lord Ian!”
After experiencing his ability, Floch knelt down on one knee to Ian without hesitation.
He could only express his loyalty with such an action now.
Many pirate captains cast jealous eyes on Floch.
That’s an ancient species! Although it is far inferior to Lord Ian’s mythical beast species, it is also a very precious devil fruit.
”Okay,”
Ian smiled, “Let’s leave this island first.”
He looked down at the corpses on the island.
It has to be cleaned up properly, otherwise it will be so ugly.
The pirates naturally had no doubts about Ian’s orders, and they boarded the ship and sailed away from this island.
Then.
”Let’s finish it.”
The huge golden dragon raised its two mechanical arms, and the flames of its left hand and right hand mixed together at this moment, turning into a magnificent fireball hundreds of meters in size in the blink of an eye, just like a sun floating in the air.
By the way, show your strength to these newcomers.
”The brilliant flame of the pterosaur.”
On the pirate ships that were gradually going away, many pirates who had just joined Ian were almost stunned by this scene.
”What is that?”
Sasaki felt his scalp tingling.
Even at such a long distance, he could feel the terrifying high temperature. What would happen if he touched the fireball?
Will he be melted directly?
”What is Lord Ian going to do?”
Du Lin swallowed unconsciously.
He saw Ian throw the fireball down.
The huge fireball landed in the center of the island. After a brief silence, endless light and heat spread from the island.
The terrifying fireball expanded and engulfed the entire island in a few seconds.
The seawater was constantly evaporating, and the water vapor had almost formed a mist surrounding the entire island, and then was blown away by the shock wave the next moment.
The strong wind came from behind with a thunderous roar, causing all the pirates to cover their ears unconsciously, and all the ships were pushed forward by the strong wind.
”Uh!!”
Sasaki was stunned, and his mouth was almost unable to close.
What surprised him even more was that the brilliant explosion gradually dissipated, and Sasaki saw nothing in the majestic mist and surging waves.
“Gone?”
Sasaki couldn’t believe it.
”The island disappeared?”
Floch was also dumbfounded.
On the distant sea, the island that should have existed there had disappeared without a trace.
It was sunk.
Although the island was not that big, it was a real island.
It was sunk directly and completely? It’s hard to imagine that humans can do such a thing!
Is this the strength of the Pirate Emperor? Compared to him, their previous battle was just like playing house! After a short silence.
Bursts of cheers suddenly rang out on the decks of the pirate ships.
”Lord Ian! The strongest!”
”Lord Ian! Invincible!”
So powerful, so invincible, this isIt was the man they followed!
When the Golden Dragon passed over their heads, the pirates were so excited that their faces flushed.
Some even fainted.
Sasaki also shouted almost hoarsely.
Lord Ian!
How powerful! Please let me follow you for the rest of my life!
For pirates, following the strong is almost instinctive.
When they came, there was only one ship, the Golden Dragon, but when they returned to Beehive Island, there were nearly twenty ships, which could be called a huge fleet.
However, the current Beehive Island suddenly became empty.
After all, the pirates who had been stationed here for many years were basically wiped out in the previous Chicken Grand Prix. Only one pirate group survived and successfully joined Ian’s team.
The vendors on the island were all at a loss.
What should we do now? Business can’t be done.
But it doesn’t matter. The immigration work had already begun before the start of the Chicken Grand Prix.
The Beast Pirates scattered throughout the waters of Beehive Island had already begun to transfer civilians who wanted to immigrate from their respective islands.
Of course, Ian didn’t know whether they really wanted to immigrate, and it didn’t matter.
In addition, Ian had asked his good friend Umit to send a transport fleet to Fishman Island to welcome a new batch of immigrants.
This batch of Fishman Island immigrants will be a bit more.
Just two days after Ian returned to Beehive Island with the newly joined pirates, the two groups of immigrants had arrived.
Ian asked Tezoro and Jinbe Tiger to settle them respectively.
No one is more suitable than them.
According to Ian’s idea, the fishmen and mermaids live on this island by mining the resources on the seabed.
And the humans rely on the ancillary industries that follow.
Ore washing, rough processing and the like.
The Beehive Island is very small and cannot accommodate too many people and too many industries.
This is enough.
At the port terminal, Jinbei is arranging the compatriots who have just arrived here, each of them is timid but with a little expectation.
There are a total of 50,000 people. Even if all the people of the Sun Pirates are brought here, they are still somewhat powerless.
But fortunately, a large part of the immigrants who came here this time are from Fishman Street. Many of them are old acquaintances of Jinbei. Jinbei sent them unceremoniously to help maintain order.
These big brothers in Fishman Street didn’t care, but after seeing Tiger, who had changed his appearance beside Jinbei, they were excited and their eyes were red.
Jinbei breathed a sigh of relief as he watched his compatriots finally land in an orderly manner.
Too many people came this time.
Fortunately, Beehive Island has been completely vacated, so there is no need to worry about housing.
It’s just that the migrating mermaids are a bit troublesome. They are not suitable for living on the shore, but now the residence in the sea has not been built yet, so they have to endure it for the time being.
Jinbei thought.
When he was trying to maintain order.
”I have never seen so many compatriots.”
A voice came from behind.
Jinbei turned around, and Sasaki crossed his arms and looked amazed.
This guy is also a fishman, but he is not a fishman born on Fishman Island.
Jinbei’s face looked a little strange.
Although this guy tried to look free and easy, he was in a mess at this time.
His nose and face were swollen.
Before Jinbei could answer, the guy sighed again, “As expected of Lord Ian! Fishmen and humans can actually coexist harmoniously.”
Even he, a fishman who has never been back to Fishman Island, knows how hostile the compatriots living there are to humans.
Jinbei smiled and sighed,
”Lord Ian is the one who can really make Fishman Island float on the sea.”
”Really?”
Sasaki is not from Fishman Island, so he doesn’t quite understand his compatriots’ desire for blue sky and sea breeze.
So he doesn’t have much feeling about Jinbei’s words.
On the contrary, he thinks that islands in the sea are pretty cool. What’s so special about floating on the blue sea?
And just at this moment.
”Hey! Jinbei, right?”
Another question came from behind.
Jinbei turned back in surprise.
The boxer Floch, who joined the pirate at the same time as Sasaki, was looking at him menacingly. “Come and fight me!”!”
He said excitedly.
Ah? (End of this chapter)
