Becker learned from several maritime merchants about the recent routes of the Redbeard Pirates, so he went to live alone in a small town located on the route, waiting for an opportunity.
For pirates, the biggest impact of no foundation is the problem of soldiers, unless there is a protagonist halo, otherwise it is difficult for the pirate team to ensure that there are no casualties after a battle, and if they can't replenish their manpower in time, they will get weaker and weaker, and eventually go to destruction, but because there is no fixed and well-known recruitment location, many pirate groups recruit people very hastily and randomly, and this kind of casual approach obviously gives the ghostly Becker an opportunity.
The tavern in the town doubles as a hotel, including three religions and nine streams, both guests and drinkers are mixed, and it is also the most well-informed place in the town, Becker patiently waited here for nearly half a month, and finally waited for the opportunity he wanted.
At noon, the waiter who had been paid off from the tavern quietly came to the second floor, knocked on Becker's door, and told Becker, who was reading in the house, the news that the Redbeard Pirates had come to the tavern.
Becker couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the news, knowing that he had not waited in vain, so he casually stuffed the waiter with a tip, took a knife and went out of the room, and walked towards the stairs.
On the second floor, there seem to be residents who are also very concerned about the arrival of the Redbeard Gang, almost at the same time as Becker went out, there were also two men with a brutal face who opened the door and walked out quickly, the two walked very fast, and the door entered from the stairs, just behind Becker, the stairs were narrow, and the two looked like they were also domineering people, the first one saw that Becker was young and alone, so he wanted to squeeze Becker who had walked to the staircase and went downstairs first, but unfortunately Becker had been learning swords for many years, and his body was very stable, and the person could not squeeze it.
Becker was so good that he almost rolled downstairs, dissatisfied, and glanced at the two of them, and it happened that the two men opposite also looked over, and the leader saw Becker looking at him, so he glared at Becker with a fierce face.
Becker squinted, he didn't want to make trouble for the time being, so he held back his anger, took the initiative to get out of the way of the stairs with a professional smile, and waited for the two of them to swagger down the stairs before shaking his head and walking down the stairs.
Becker, who walked to the first floor, subconsciously glanced around, and immediately noticed a group of men in the corner with a fierce atmosphere.
A group of six people sat in the corner of the bar, in a rather tricky position, and you could immediately observe the people entering the tavern through the door, and it was difficult for those who had just entered the tavern to be the first to notice them without paying attention.
There were only six people but a total of three tables, and a man sitting in the innermost part occupied a table alone, Becker guessed that he should be the leader, and observed it quite carefully, this person was nearly two meters tall, with solid muscles, as strong as a bear, and the bar chair sat under his ass like a small low stool, with very short red hair, and his face was covered with scars, as if a burn on his chin was the most serious, and with the horizontal flesh on his face, it looked very hideous and terrifying.
Although the others were tall or short, fat or thin, they all had one thing in common, that is, they had fierce faces, and they all carried weapons, either with scimitars or hand axes, and two of them had pistols pinned to their waists, without the slightest intention of concealing them.
The owner of the bar was trembling and hiding behind the bar, and several waiters were equally afraid, but they could only stand cautiously not far from a few people, waiting for the call of the gangsters.
Most of the main force of the pirates are bankrupt fishermen, down-and-out sailors, and some crew members who are accustomed to petty theft are found by the shipowner and driven off the ship, and no one wants to hire them if they have a bad reputation, and they may also take risks to become pirates, such people either buy drunk in taverns or find jobs at the docks to make a living.
Becker estimated that in addition to the Tavern's gang, the docks should also have the Redbeard Pirates to recruit people.
Becker has lived here for a while, he has a high wrist, and his emotional intelligence is not low, and after some inquiry, the background of the regular customers in the tavern has basically been figured out, and at this time, it is not surprising to see that there are already a few sailors who can't find a job and have been getting drunk in the tavern recently.
He couldn't hear the conversation of a few people clearly, he could only see that a few sailors had some fear and flattery on their faces and said something to the pirate leader, the pirate leader then looked a few people up and down for a while, then waved a few people to leave, and then several sailors left the tavern with an excited face, it seemed that they had been successfully recruited, and the bar owner didn't even dare to ask for money.
Becker followed the two who had grabbed the stairs with him to a group of pirates' table, and the bear-like pirate leader glanced at the three of them and asked, "The three of you together?" ”
The arrogant man in the lead turned around and saw Becker following the two of them, so he scolded Becker: "Get out of the way!" ”
Then he shook the horizontal flesh on his face, trying to soften his vicious face as much as possible, and then turned to the pirate leader and said, "The two of us are together, we don't know this little kid." ”
The leader of the pirates glanced at Becker carefully, his eyes lingered slightly on the knife inserted in Becker's waist and the calloused tiger's mouth, and then said to him lightly: "How old are you, and you want to be a pirate?" ”
"Let's go back to your parents." The other two arrogant men laughed and squeezed.
Becker's body is only sixteen years old this year, but his height is already one meter eight, and his physical development is much better than in his previous life, but although he is tall, his face is still childish, and smart people can see at a glance that he is not very old.
"I'm eighteen years old," Becker lied without blinking his eyes, looking rather good-tempered and ignoring the other two's runs, "I've heard almost since I was a kid about the prestige of the Redbeard Pirates, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to get on Redbeard's ship today." ”
The pirate leader smiled noncommittally, it seemed that Becker's sycophants were not very useful: "You also know that our pirate group has a great reputation, why should I let you get on the ship." ”
Becker rolled his eyes and said, "I'm good at swordsmanship, and I know some navigational skills. ”
The pirate leader was slightly interested, "Let me see." ”
"See what?"
"Nonsense, swordsmanship, of course."
"What do you think?"
The pirate leader said impatiently: "Let me see if your child's swordsmanship can kill people." ”
"Good!" Becker smiled slightly, bowed his body, and suddenly drew his knife without warning, the knife flashed, and slashed at the leader who had just been fierce and vicious and he grabbed the stairs, the man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly screamed, Becker's hard-tempered knife drawing technique did not give him a chance to react at all, accompanied by the knife light, he suddenly had a blood line from his right waist and left chest, and it took a second for the wound to expand, and the entire upper body was almost cut open by Becker.
After living in this world for so long, if there is anything that has changed the most in Becker, it is not his skills and money, these two things he could have obtained in his previous life, but the sense of awe that gradually disappears from law and morality.
From involuntarily killing people in self-defense and saving his life, to actively planning robberies for living expenses and more wealth, to taking the initiative to merge for the sake of industry, and beheading Denton in order to deter Tony, Becker is gradually trampling on the remaining legal and moral bottom line from his previous life.
If killing people when he first came to this world would still make Becker panic, and Becker would be nervous before he got out with Denton, for Becker now, killing people is nothing unacceptable.
The companion of the person who was attacked by Becker was a little stunned, as if he did not expect Becker to suddenly kill, and when he saw Becker turn his gaze to himself, he came back to his senses, shouted, and turned his head and ran towards the door of the bar.
Becker unceremoniously caught up with the man who dared to expose his back to him, slashed him over, then shook off the blood stuck to the knife and turned back to look at the pirate leader.
He knew that this was a vote, which not only showed his skills, but also made the pirate leader see that he had blood on his hands, and by the way, he also removed the two competitors, and he was qualified for the Shanghai pirate ship anyway.
Sure enough, although the other pirates were also taken aback by Becker's behavior, and put their hands on the grips of their weapons and stared at Becker vigilantly, the pirate leader did not react much, and did not look at the two corpses on the ground, but applauded quite appreciatively: "Okay, very good, follow me, and I will personally take you on board in a while." ”
