After waking up

In less than ten minutes, all the battles came to an end. Most of the sailors on the merchant fleet were killed, and there were still some who were captured and surrendered. Including Mulan, there were only ten sailors in total. A few people survived.

However, in the middle of the deck of the Sky Star, surrounded by dead bodies and pirates, the struggle seemed not to be completely over yet.

"Oh."

Mulan roared in a low voice, but the four or five pirates could not hold him down. He stood up little by little, and the knives on his neck and body had already cut his skin.

"Be honest, do you want to die?" "Hold him down——"

Fists and feet kept falling on Mulan, and another rifle butt hit him hard on the cheek. Then the pirates on the side worked together to finally push the fierce sailor down again.

Two rifle butts repeatedly hit the crook of Mulan's legs, and this time eight or nine people came together and pinned him to the deck.

"Ho, ho, ho, ho" "Ah——"

A roar broke out from Mulan's mouth, and the nine pirates used their knees and hands, feeling that what they were holding down was not a person at all, but a ferocious beast.

The other captured sailors were also taken aboard the largest ironclad steamer.

All four pirate captains arrived on the Sky Star. Why were there only four? Because one of them was killed by Mulan.

The pirate leader shook the blood-stained blade, glanced at the dozens of quiet sailors over there, and then looked at Mulan who was still struggling with admiring eyes. He stepped forward and pressed the cold blade against it. Mulan's cheek.

"Dilga's retired Imperial Army?"

"So what?"

The pirate captain smiled. While everyone else was begging for mercy, this man actually had a fierce look on his face.

"What? At this time, you still don't want to beg for mercy?"

Mulan spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"Begging for mercy from the pirates, will you let me go? I know I'm going to die, so I might as well die with dignity!"

The pirate captain glanced at Mulan's suppressed body. Not to mention the twisted right wrist, which was also covered in scars, it still took many pirates to suppress him.

"Hey, a person like you should be very popular in the Dilga Empire Army, but you actually go to sea to be a sailor?"

Mulan, who had been struggling, suddenly became silent and clenched his teeth tightly, making a series of tooth-piercing "creaking" sounds.

"The upper echelons of the Imperial Army are also a bunch of bastards. They treat us as scapegoats and deprive us of our pensions. Oh, ah——"

"Hold him down!" "Hurry up and use force!"

Several pirates felt that the people below were getting up, and they hurriedly exerted their strength together. The twisted right hand was actually supported on the ground, and was kicked hard by a pirate. Only then did Mulan lose his support and release his strength. , was pushed back to the ground.

The pirate captain's eyes lit up, and he seemed to gently tap Mulan's cheek with the blade of his sword, but a huge concussive force came from him. He relaxed as if his whole body had softened.

The pirate captain knelt down, pinched Mulan's cheek with his hand, and looked directly into his eyes.

"Come to be a pirate? As long as you are strong enough, you will have dignity, women, and treasure. You have talents and are a born warrior. It would be a pity to die here."

"I will not surrender to you, a villain who sneaks up on me!"

Mulan still gritted his teeth, his eyes showing ferocity.

"oh?"

The pirate narrowed his eyes and raised the blade slightly.

"Then you go die."

Huh~ The light of the sword swung directly towards Mulan's cheek, causing Mulan to close his eyes, but the blade stopped three centimeters away from his eyes.

The art of language, the grasp of the heart, and without using extraordinary power, Mulan can also grasp the pirate's psychology, because every step is induced by him, and every step is temporarily adjusted according to the pirate's words and emotional changes.

Mulan slowly opened his eyes, and a look of survival flashed across his face, proving that although he was not afraid of death, he was not really fearless of death. He looked up at the pirate leader, who had a smile on his face.

"Let's do this. I'll give you a fair duel."

A few minutes later, on the deck of the Sky Star that had been simply cleared, the pirates formed a circle, with the pirate leader and Mulan in the middle.

Mulan was holding his own knife at the moment, and the pirate leader was standing opposite, putting his right hand behind his back and holding the knife in his left hand.

"It seems that pirates are not all as stupid as the rumors say. In that case, I would also like to remind you that although I can't move my right hand, the fact that you use your left hand like me gives me an advantage, because I am actually left-handed."

Mulan held the handle of the knife and gently shook the blade.

"Oh, don't worry, after all, you have a lot of injuries, but what if you lose?"

"I won't lose. Even if ten pirates join together, they are no match for me!"

Mulan said this and took the lead to take action because he saw that the pirates were actually playing tricks. This was a flaw.

To an outsider's senses, the sailor suddenly burst out and rushed straight towards the pirate leader. His knife was hidden at his side. The moment he approached the pirate, he raised a powerful and heavy knife from bottom to top.

"Hoah——"

"Dang~"

The knife was easily deflected, and the pirate leader stabbed directly. Mulan dodged it and then swung the blade to slash his neck.

"When~" "When~" "When~".

Three consecutive blows were blocked by the pirate leader, and his body did not even move.

Mulan had already taken a few steps back, panting violently while clenching the blade, and his left hand and blade were trembling slightly.

The pirate captain kept smiling.

"My strength is quite strong, my swordsmanship is also good, and my judgment is even better, but it has no effect on me."

In fact, the pirate captain was a little surprised at the moment. He knew that in terms of skills alone, he might be inferior. He relied entirely on crushing the opponent's perception and strength.

Mulan panted for a while, then threw the sea soul on the deck.

"I can't beat you. I lost. You are much stronger than me. My life is yours."

The pirate captain's smile became even brighter. Although many people died, ordinary people can replenish them at any time, but unexpected talents are rare.

"I said, I won't kill you. You have to keep your promise and become a pirate. My name is Ruskin. You can call me leader. What's your name?"

Mulan raised his head, made a fist with his slightly twisted right hand, and placed it gently on his chest.

"Vincent, my name is Vincent, leader."

"Hahahahahahaha, very good, very good!"

The pirate leader shouted to everyone around him who was watching the duel.

"You bastards, you all heard it - now find all the valuable things on the ship. Except for special treasures and cargo, whoever finds the rest of the money will get it -"

The pirates burst into excited cheers.

Next to Mulan, the pirates who had just controlled him were a little uneasy. It was obvious that the leader valued this newcomer very much. The key point was that this guy was ridiculously strong and he didn't know if he would hold a grudge.

Seeing Mulan holding his right hand and standing there in a daze, an old pirate who had just controlled him tried to take two steps closer.

"If your wrist is not taken care of, it will easily become disabled. Let me help you take a look."

Mulan glanced at him, hesitated and stretched out his hand.

"Lalalal"

"Well."

"Okay, tie it up and don't use force for now. It will be fine soon."

Mulan looked at his wrist, which had at least returned to normal form, and whispered "Thank you", which made the pirates around him laugh.

To be honest, maybe except for the dead pirates, everyone else was very happy. There were also some belongings on the ship itself, and these ships were also full of valuable spices. It would be a huge sum of money to sell them at any discount.

Not to mention that six large ships were captured this time, one of which was a steam armored ship. The value of the ships was already immeasurable. The Tianxing directly became the flagship of the pirate leader.

The captured sailors were all voluntarily or forced to become pirates, and were mainly responsible for launching the Sky Star. After several days of sailing, the eleven ships slowly sailed to a small island, which was the base of the pirates.

The Sky Star and other ships were remodeled by pirates here, requiring the installation of more cannons.

The pirate leader obviously valued him very much and took him with him everywhere in the past few days. At this moment, they were shuttled through the busy port. Although this was the territory of pirates, the port was bustling with people.

Some of the goods stolen by pirates will also be sold in similar ports, where people can sell the goods to all over the world.

Mulan has been observing everything around him with curiosity, observing the "pirate ecology" in the deep sea. They sold all the goods at almost half price, and the money earned was at least tens of thousands of gold dirga coins.

"Hahahaha, a big income, Vincent, I will take you to have fun!"

"To Vincent, let's go have a drink and have a good time!"

Ruskin patted Mulan on the shoulder, and several pirates around him shouted loudly, and together they rushed to a popular pirate tavern.

When you first enter, it gives people a smoky feeling, but after staying for a while, you can feel the extremely warm atmosphere, the strongest wine, rich food, people playing musical instruments to the beat, and everywhere. writhing woman.

Several pirates had already hugged women. Even Ruskin took a girl and kneaded her a few times, then pushed her away while she was yelling and scolding. Only Mulan was drinking.

"What? Don't like it?"

Ruskin raised his head and drank down a glass of wine and looked at Mulan with a smile. This sailor who had just become a pirate was obviously cautious, but he did have unlimited potential and was a man of his word. Once he became his subordinate, he would be loyal.

"It's just that I'm not used to it."

A pirate next to him laughed.

"Hahahaha, Vincent, you will get used to it as long as you feel comfortable a few times!"

"Yes, yes, let us help you find a stunner!"

Several pirates laughed, Mulan raised his right hand, looked at the women around him with undisguised disgust, and said perfunctorily.

"I'm inconvenienced."

To be honest, the smell of that inferior perfume made Mulan even want to sneeze.

"Hahahahaha, Vincent! Look at how attractive you are. They are all attracted to you. What you said is so hurtful!"

Ruskin smiled and patted Mulan on the shoulder, then leaned close to Mulan and whispered.

"Actually, I don't like it either. As long as you have money, treasures, and even the beautiful sea succubus can spend the night with you, the feeling will definitely make you completely corrupt, hehehehehe."

Mulan immediately showed a hint of nervousness.

"No, no, no, they will eat me!"

"Hahahahaha"

The surrounding pirates were swaying with laughter, and some kept patting the bar.

Mulan quickly raised his head to drink, but the grin on his lips was not just for pouring the wine. You see, it is not difficult to blend in with the pirates, and you don't necessarily need to be exactly like them.
