Chapter 506: Ships
Standing in front of Tang Bai, Bato's face was like earth, and his body was like a lamb facing a pack of wolves, trembling like frightened. Of course, there were no wolves in front of them, and it could even be said that there was calm. But fear is irrepressible from the bottom of their hearts to the heights.
The defeat of Vice Admiral Qingzhi, who was regarded as a demonic disaster by the pirates of the West Sea, should have been a joyful and exciting event. But soon, Barto and the others were beaten from heaven to hell by Tang Bai's words.
"You're going into the windless zone?"
Bato's eyes almost fell out of their sockets. They only felt that the few days since the appearance of the childish were the most violent and bitter days for their mood swings. first faced despair, and then unexpectedly escaped death, but the joy of survival has not yet dissipated, and the new head of his own family actually took the initiative to push them on the edge of the cliff.
Under the joy and sorrow, Bato even began to doubt, can this day still be lived?
"It's not like you're in, it's just that you need to rest there for a while." Tang Bai waved his hand happily.
"But that's a windless zone!" Barto was depressed.
Even a child under the age of 10 who knows a little bit about the ocean knows what it means to have no wind. It's a well-known Jedi on the ocean! It's a sea that any pirate and navigator must avoid!
It is precisely because the windless belt is sandwiched by the great voyage that the pirates who go out to sea for the treasure of Gore D Roger in the four seas have to find another way, even if it is a long detour. Also try to bypass the windless zone and enter the Great Passage from the Upside-Down Mountain, one of the junctions of the Red Earth Continent and the Great Shipping Route.
People from all over the world, understanding and cognition of the windless zone. It's a Jedi that only enters but doesn't leave. The sea was like a giant beast with its mouth open, devouring those who dared to trespass into their territory. It's not to go to the Jedi, no one will take the initiative to get there.
"It's okay, I didn't want to use this warship to take you across the entire windless zone." Tang Bai sat down on the chair behind him, "In the windless belt, I will ensure your safety." ”
Bartow looked at each other in a few eyes. There was a muffled silence. They also heard that although Tang Bai's voice was gentle, it carried an irrefutable posture. This also means that it is impossible for them to make Tang Bai change his mind at all.
However, Tang Bai's last assurance still gave Barto some comfort. Let them be in a panic and frightened heart, and they also calmed down a little. During this period of time, Tang Bai had successfully established a high prestige in their hearts. In particular, the battle in which Vice Admiral Qingzhi was defeated a few days ago will be even more prestige. In Bato's hearts, the hearts of several of them were pushed to the highest peak.
For now. Tang Bai's words, even if it was just a comfort, were enough to calm down Bato.
The captain is the one who can decide the final destination of a ship, and the other people on board are just partners or helpers to help the captain achieve his goals. When a captain is determined to go to a certain place, the crew of the ship does not want to leave, so they can only comply.
Barto: That's how they are now.
……
As long as people's hearts are still fanatically pursuing interests and selfish desires. The world will not be short of all kinds of disgusting ugliness. And in this world, pirates are one of the professions that serve this ugliness. Not every pirate. are all the protagonists of Gore Roger, Whitebeard, red-haired Shanks, or more than ten years later.
As soon as there is a proper profit, the capitalists will be bold. With 10 percent profit, it will ensure that someone will participate, with 20 percent profit, it will start to be active, and with 50 percent profit, it will take risks; For the sake of 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; When the profit reaches 300 percent, it dares to commit any crime, even risking going to the gallows.
People in this world don't necessarily know this sentence, but like many worlds, they have been verifying this sentence! Especially when this sentence still serves the needs of the powerful in this world, there is nothing more exciting for the ambitious.
The ravages of pirates and the turmoil of the times have finally made a profession that has always existed suddenly glow with more vigorous vitality and become more prosperous.
Traffickers!
Bacchus is a pirate who is engaged in such a profession.
Of course, Bacchus has always distinguished himself from those who rob passing ships from those who plunder certain towns, plunder people, and then sell them. If I had to name a reason, it would be the difference between high-end and low-end, professional and amateur.
The pirates who only made the occasional cameo appearance as a trafficker to sell people in exchange for more money were utterly dismissive in Bacchus' eyes. Bacchus was more picky about slaves than the hungry pirates.
Or, in other words, general, characterless efforts simply could not get into the eyes of his customers. That's a group of people who are quite discerning and demanding in terms of vision and demand.
Yes, those world aristocrats who are high up and hold the great power of the world.
These people may indeed be a little less soulful, but even if they have all kinds of evil, they will always have a characteristic that people like. For example, what you look at yourself, and how bold you are to take money and not be able to make money?
Rich, bold, never on credit and in arrears.
As long as there are these, even if the temper is a little worse, it will be sweet for Bacchus. For him, money is the most important thing! Dignity and conscience? In front of money, that's what kind of thing.
There is such a thigh that the world nobles can hug, and there is a powerful family standing behind them, as long as you please these people, you won't get too many preferential treatment and benefits!
Not to mention the convenience brought by other powers, just talking about the materials used and the technology used by the car under him, ordinary naval warships cannot compare with it. The new technology of the navy is often not completely paved, and he has already exchanged a lot of good things from those high-rollers through that powerful master.
Standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the calm and windless sea, Bacchus looked smug. Behind him was a gorgeous gold chair specially built to his liking.
Yes, there is no wind!
It's a windless zone!
A simple sailboat is naturally difficult to move an inch here, but Bacchus has the speed to sail without sails. Even if it's slower.
With the efforts of the Navy's scientists, the windless belt is no longer the sea area that is difficult to step on and is known as a desperate situation, even if it is as dangerous as ever!
The bottom of the ship, which Bacchus had acquired from his own masters and high rollers, came from the latest technology of the Navy. The bottom of the ship, which has a sea tower stone, can make the sea kings who are active in the windless zone ignore it as if it were seawater.
As long as you are careful not to make a big move, the windless belt that is extremely dangerous in the eyes of many people is simply an excellent safe route in Bacchus's mind.
There are no wreaking pirate ships here, and there won't be any unsightly raiders. Even Bacchus believed that with his ship's strong guns, it would be enough to deal with any enemy who dared to attack him.
There is no need to suffer from the vagaries of the sea, there is no wind belt without wind, and without considering threats such as sea kings, it is peaceful enough to make any navigator sleepy.
What's even more rare is the "abundance" here!
Yes, it is "abundance".
This abundance doesn't mean materials or anything, that kind of thing Bacchus doesn't care about. The richness in his eyes is the creatures that live on the islands and seas here!
Exotic beasts, fishmen, merfolk, human populations of various races.
The most wonderful thing is that because of the existence of the windless zone, the people living here, their understanding of the outside world, in Bacchus's opinion, can only be said to be shallow! Even if you rob a boatload of people, there will be no sequelae. No one will stand up for them.
Coupled with the danger of windless belts, these creatures, both human and exotic, have quite strong combat power, which is the favorite of those world nobles, used as an excellent slave to watch the fight arena and stimulate their emotions and desires.
These powerful slaves are quite easy to sell and extremely expensive goods.
No one interfered with him, and no pirate could break into the windless zone and steal business with him, making it an excellent hunting ground!
"Captain, a ship has been spotted ahead."
"What?" Bacchus, who was awakened from his fantasy by the sound of the call, blinked his eyes twice, and his face was dazed.
"Boat! A warship-style ship has been spotted ahead, Captain Bacchus! ”
"Warship?" Bacchus was even more dazed. Although the navy now has the means and ships to safely navigate the windless zone, under normal circumstances, the navy will never step into this seemingly dead sea at will.
If it weren't for the fact that the benefits were large enough, Bacchus would be reluctant to wander here. Avoiding danger is not the same as not being free from danger.
"Damn, how did we run into a warship? Did they find us? Bacchus was a little furious. Encountering a warship at this time, is it to punish him for getting carried away just now?
I hope that the admiral on the other side will not be a person who likes to meddle in matters or pursue justice. You know, he's still carrying the cargo he hunted this time on his ship! If he was found or sunk, Bacchus thought he would really go crazy.
"They seem to be coming for us." The crew member who served as a lookout on the ship's lookout immediately replied.
"Aren't they afraid that fighting us will attract those sea kings? Damn it! Bacchus waved his arms and cursed angrily. (To be continued......)
