Chapter Eighty-Four: The Way Out

After Becker entered the captain's room, he was not in a hurry to ask, took three wine glasses, and personally poured himself and Akin, and Hutcherson a glass of wine each, before he sat down on the desk and asked, "What did this fool Felton do?" ”

Hutcherson also relaxed with Becker's performance: "He has recently been entrapping some pirates on the ship, trying to pull people out of our pirate group. ”

"No brain," Becker said disdainfully after taking a sip of his wine, "and he doesn't clean up." ”

Becker was going to wait a while to deal with Felton's group, but he didn't expect that he himself seemed to be impatient to be dealt with by Becker and jumped out early.

Becker, a person who is good at digging people's corners and gathering power, will let others dig their own corners?

He shook his glass and smiled at Akin's and Hutcherson, "It seems that before we take those prisoners, we need to clean up the unrest on the ship and then 'unite' our crew." ”

At this time, the other two people in the room were all looking at Becker's horse, and Ah Jin asked without hesitation, "How?" ”

"What did I say on deck?" Becker asked rhetorically.

…………

The next day, the ship's doctors, Harrison, Neil, Felton and several other officers of the ship, were summoned by Becker to the captain's office to discuss the affairs of the ship.

This is the biggest difference between Becker and Barbarossa, who almost never consults decisions with other members of the ship except Reis, and most of the time only gives orders, although Becker is also assertive and has his own plans for big decisions, he is still willing to listen to the opinions and suggestions of others - even if it is just a gesture, and it is up to him to adopt it or not.

This kind of behavior can express the recognition and attention of subordinates, determine the embodiment of their value, and some decisions that are destined to offend people can also completely make the subordinates who participate in the decision-making take the blame, and lead the hatred and anger of the bottom employees to these middle-level leaders.

Harrison, Felton and Neil and others have alcoholic doctors, cruel pirates, and ignorant rookies, but white-collar workers who don't have black bellies, of course, they don't know that Becker has so many curves in his stomach, Harrison and Neil also admire Becker's decision, even Felton feels that compared to Barbarossa, Becker's leadership is much more enlightened.

The three of them just wondered why, in addition to Akin, Eric and the old pirate Hutcherson were also in the house, and immediately thought that Becker was promoting his cronies.

This time Becker didn't ask them to take the blame, he did have serious things to talk to a few people, of course, in fact, in terms of Becker's character, it was more like explaining, making gestures, and then asking his subordinates to help supplement and improve the details, but for the few people who had experienced Barbarossa's rule, this was already a huge improvement for them.

Becker motioned for the three of them to sit down with Akin, but Eric and Hutcherson did not sit down, only standing a short distance behind the four-person chair, while Becker sat opposite the four and said, "I called you here today mainly because I want to talk to you about three things. ”

"First, I'm going to take out the loot that Lacey kept on the island to compensate for the dead and wounded this time, anyway, the matter itself started because of him." Becker said slowly.

Because the booty seized by the pirates is all illegal income, no bank dares to blatantly accept the pirates' deposits, and it is not safe to find a random place to keep them, so the pirates often choose to keep the wealth left after squandering by themselves.

They would often find an uninhabited island in a remote shipping lane, and then hide the accumulated gold and silver jewelry in a hidden location on the island.

The island is the pirate's safe, and the logbook that records the route and treasure spot is the password.

Most of the so-called treasure maps circulating around the world are the product of such a background, when a group of pirates who had amassed a lot of wealth suddenly collapsed, leaving only a few logbooks recording the island's routes and treasure locations, waiting to be picked up by the lucky ones.

The most famous example is probably One Piece Roger's Treasure, although there is no treasure map, only one name, one location, but with Roger's fame, it still attracts countless people to go out to sea in search of this ethereal treasure.

The Redbeard Pirates also had their own treasure spots, and the map of the route was recorded in Barbarossa's captain's logbook, which was now in Becker's possession.

"Too much, right?" Felton's cautious mistake was repeated, Lacey was originally the vice-captain of the Redbeard Pirates, and Barbarossa's most trusted person, second only to Barbarossa in the trophies.

Felton felt reluctant to share the casualties: "The rest of the ship is not without fighting, and I think they should also share." ”

"It makes sense, but the injured should still take an extra copy, especially the war dead, and those who have family members should find a way to give it to his family." Becker nodded.

"The second thing is that I am going to take out some of Barbarossa's trophies, buy some properties, and house the crew members who are more seriously injured and will not be able to participate in the battle in the future." Becker said lightly.

Felton looked at Becker like an idiot, and with his brain and experience, he naturally couldn't understand Becker's approach: "They don't have money themselves? With your placement? ”

Harrison, the ship's doctor, saw that Becker didn't look like he was joking, and his emotions were a little complicated, so he took out a wine jug and poured a sip of wine, and said with a snort: "Barbarossa died in your hands, and his loot belongs to you according to the rules, so you don't need to discuss with us what to do, right?" ”

Becker first said to Felton: "After sailing on the sea for so long, you should also know that only when many people are gathered together can they drive a big ship, and only a big ship can better resist the wind and waves, and let the crew buy their own property, not to mention whether they have connections or not, when the time comes, everyone will be scattered, and there is no way to take care of each other, not to mention that they can't fight after being injured, what should they do if they are humiliated?" ”

Felton still pouted, and Becker didn't bother to explain to him the meaning of what he did, so he said to Harrison: "I have some ways to buy property, but I don't have much experience in arranging a legal identity for pirates to go ashore and arrange a legal identity for them. ”

Harrison, the ship's doctor, took another sip of wine: "The navy is also only concerned with catching those pirates who have bounty lists, those ordinary pirates, the navy doesn't even know what they look like, as long as they don't commit crimes again in the future, where will the navy catch them?" However, the local kingdom may be a little troublesome, and you mean to keep the wounded together as much as possible, but with so many former pirates gathered together, the locals may find out that the abnormality is not true after a long time. ”

"Maybe the Buendía family can help." Becker said thoughtfully, then looked at Neil.

Neil saw Becker looking over, but he didn't dare to make any package tickets, nor did he dare to make any suggestions, but only lowered his head in a snort.

Becker smiled at this, and did not continue to talk about the subject, but stated his real purpose for calling these people today: "The third thing ....... ”

Becker looked at Felton and said with a cold smile: "I heard that you have recently recruited people on the ship, are you disobedient to me and want to rebel against me?" ”

Felton was startled and wanted to get up from the chair, but at this time the four powerful hands had already held him down from behind, and then he didn't know when he had gotten up and wrapped around Akin, who had already gotten up and wrapped around him, and after Eric and Hutcherson held Felton, he wrapped his thick arms around the front of Felton's neck, and then slowly tightened it.

The feeling of suffocation gradually came to his mind, and Felton struggled hard, but he couldn't exert much strength to break free from the restraints of the three strong men because of his posture.

Harrison and Neil, the ship's doctor, had already risen from their chairs, looking at Felton with a pale face that had turned red from lack of oxygen.

Neil, who was already timid, trembled even more when he looked at Becker, who slowly pulled out the knife.
