Chapter 95 Chapter 3 of the Covenant

Becker's next point was the point, and he said to the town's leading figures: "In order to prevent future pirates from attacking the town, my crew and I will regularly patrol the surrounding seas, and since this town is to be protected by me, we will make some agreements with me in the future." ”

The gray-haired mayor glanced at the person next to him, and then said, "You say." ”

Becker raised his index finger and said: "First, in the future, my fleet may anchor here from time to time to rest and replenish supplies in the town, you must prepare in advance, of course we will buy it at the market price, everyone in the town, is not allowed to hinder the transaction for any reason." ”

The mayor of the town and the people around him looked a little bad, after all, no one wanted to make a deal with the pirates, no matter how nice Becker said, no one knew what charges he would be implicated in the future, but at this time, no one dared to interrupt Becker, so he could only listen to him continue.

Becker held up a second finger: "Second, I personally have a small business, so I want to arrange two people on your dock." ”

Becker turned his head and called two names, and then the mayor and the others saw two tall pirates approaching, and when they got closer, everyone noticed that the two pirates were both disabled.

One had a prosthetic leg and walked with a limp, while the other lost a shoulder.

The two disabled pirates looked fierce, but with respect for Becker, they saluted and stood behind him.

"These two are the warriors of my ship," Becker said, gesturing at the two pirates, "and it's for the good of the town to ask them to work on the docks, and they have a way to inform me of anything in the first place." ”

The mayor's face changed, and he heard another meaning of Becker's words, these two people had a way to pass the information to Becker, and if there was any change in the town that was unfavorable to Becker, they would obviously not ignore it, and would definitely tell their captain to know.

In fact, Becker arranged these two people, one is to pave the way for the sale of Momiji Mead, where they can sell products like merchants in transit, and on the other hand, they can also buy supplies in advance and store them, so that when the Morgan Pirates' ships are berthed, they can replenish the supplies as soon as possible, and sometimes they can also digest some of the stolen goods he has obtained.

But the most important thing is to keep track of the volume of cargo and replenishment of ships, and to find out the information of merchant ships on their voyages.

Becker had already laid such an eye on several towns, and he wanted to make sure that in the future, the great maritime trade within his influence would not escape his eyes, and that any large ship that did not know him would go to sea.

Becker raised a third finger: "If someone on my ship causes trouble in the town, the murderer will die, and the wounder and thief will also be punished, I will give an explanation to the people in the town, but my crew can only be investigated and dealt with by me." ”

In fact, this article seems a bit harsh to modern people like Becker, but the leaders of the town are still surprised when they hear it, they thought that the third article proposed by Becker is also a requirement, but they didn't expect it to be a constraint on their own crew, they have lived in the East China Sea for generations, but they have never heard of any pirates saying that their crew committed crimes in the town and want to give an explanation to others.

Although it can only be handed over to Becker to investigate and dispose of, since he is here to solemnly say this agreement, it is obvious that it will not be perfunctory.

"I'll just make these three requests for the time being." Becker retracted his fingers and said calmly.

The old mayor hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "What if someone in the town violates our agreement with you?" ”

Becker smiled, he glanced around at the townspeople, and said meaningfully, "When you get along with me for a long time, you will get to know me as a person." ”

"I'm a ......," Becker said, "I will be as warm as spring for my friends, and as cold as winter for my enemies." ”

Becker stepped forward and patted the old mayor on the shoulder a little harder, patting the other party's feet soft: "What violates my agreement is my enemy, and I will never be soft on the enemy, such as those hanging in front of you." ”

The townspeople all said, "Captain Morgan is certainly a friend of our town!" ”

…………

The town's leaders were driven by Becker to calm people's hearts, but the ordinary people who heard the shouts or saw the notices were not reassured, and were still wary of Becker and other pirates, and during the days when the Morgan Pirates were anchored at the docks, most of them hid in places that they thought were safe and did not dare to come forward.

The Morgan Pirates anchored here for three days, and it was discovered that during these three days, the crew of the Morgan Pirates did not harass the townspeople, as their captain said, and paid for their groceries, and all returned to the ship to rest in the evening.

No matter up or down in the town, this is a little relieved.

After receiving the news that the Morgan Pirates' fleet was leaving, the mayor led some representatives to the docks to express their gratitude.

The send-off team also carried a lot of things, apparently to comfort the Morgan Pirates.

The crowd with supplies such as wine and meat was stopped by Becker on the dock.

"Captain Morgan, this is just a gift from the townsfolk to thank you and your crew for rescuing us, you must accept it!" The gray-haired old mayor grabbed Becker's hand and said with a sincere expression.

Becker looked very moved when he heard this, he looked at the crowd, but he still said loudly: "There is wine and meat on the ship, and there is no shortage of other supplies, the town has just been plundered, and I don't want everyone to break the bank." ”

"It's just a little bit of our heart, don't you want it?" The old mayor said affectionately.

Several people around the mayor also sincerely persuaded Becker to accept the supplies, but Becker still firmly refused.

From a distance, the two groups of people really look like fish and water.

Becker didn't ask for anything in the end, and before leaving, he wrapped some belongings with a pirate flag and put them on the dock, there were so many people, not to mention that he arranged eyeliner in the town, and he didn't worry about being embezzled by the mayor and others.

In fact, Becker and the others have obtained quite a lot of loot from the pirates they exterminated, and many of them are looted from the town, and Becker has only left a small part of the town, and after digging deeper, it is far from being as high-minded as it is in front of the people in the town.

However, this kind of pirate group is the only one seen in the life of all the people in the town, even if it does not harass the residents, it also takes the initiative to leave a part of the loot, Becker's actions completely subvert the perception of pirates in the town, this is the so-called otherworldly version of the "fat tiger effect", people's moral bottom line requirements for pirates are very low, and when they encounter the wonders of the pirate world like the Morgan Pirates, they immediately left a quite good impression in the hearts of most people.

The old mayor led the men to see the Morgan Pirates' ships away, as if he was very reluctant to let them go.

But it wasn't until the two eyeliners left by Becker left boringly that his face changed, and he said with a scared face: "These pirates are finally gone." ”

The mayor of the town was also happy for the rest of his life, and he asked, "Do you want to report the matter to the navy?" ”

"What's the use of telling the Navy?" The mayor glared at him and said, "What should we do if the navy fails to destroy him?" The young captain was kind to us, but who knows what he would do if he was really angry? You've all seen the way he dealt with the other pirates, and we can't afford to mess with them. ”
