The Bethle Rose is silently sailing through the universe at high speed. The towed silver teardrop-shaped hull is particularly beautiful in the silence and depth of space.

The merchant ship Audrey is at the forefront. Two high-speed plundering ships, one left and one right, accompanied the [Blue Rose]. Warships, pirate plundering ships, merchant ships...... Four warships of a completely different style, combined into a strange fleet.

On the port side of the fleet, a red giant star 18 astronomical units away can be clearly seen, desperately pouring out its light and heat. For many years, on this inaccessible fringe channel, this massive dark red old star has remained in the same state.

For this red giant, which will eventually collapse into a white dwarf, the beginning of human civilization to the present is only a blink of an eye in the course of its life. And the heroes or heroes who have plotted for the hegemony of the dynasty from generation to generation are like phantom bubbles, born and died in an instant.

The red giant star glows on the body of the battleship that moves away at high speed in a curvilinear trajectory, reflecting a blurry flow of color. As the distance grew, the starlight became darker and darker, eventually turning into a dark red dot on the hull of the ship.

After finishing the gravitational jump using the red giant, the fleet, which had passed through eleven jump points and changed six lanes, had arrived at the DE-Symstar system, which was less than five jumps away from the Salgar Federation.

This is where the journey ends, where the Redbeard Pirates' secret base is located.

After unexpectedly capturing Barbarossa, the fat man consulted with Chekov. Decided to change the original plan...... Before fully understanding the current situation in the Salga Federation. Right now, the Brown Rose is not suitable for anyone to be exposed to.

Compared to the Freedom Dock, which is crowded with people and snakes, a well-equipped pirate base is more suitable for hiding whereabouts. Besides, since Barbarossa was captured, and his pirate group was not controlled, it was not quite in line with the purpose of the fat goose plucking.

"Honestly......" In the pirate base capt, the fat man affectionately hooked Barbarossa's shoulder: "Where did you hide all your treasure?" ”

The fat man was actually annoyed.

He didn't expect that he would search the entire base. I didn't find a trace of floating wealth.

This massive base, which was beyond anyone's imagination, was built on the back of a planet's moon. All-metal construction. Consists of a dilapidated Earth space station and a giant transport ship.

Space station. It was converted into a ship harbor, and underneath the giant transport. The pirates hollowed out the dirt and rocks and built a space city that could hold tens of thousands of people!

Where is this what a pirate base, if you add a couple of fortress guns. Expand the port a little more. Stationed in a regular fleet, this is simply a small fortress!

The capture of the base is simple...... Two marauding ships escorted the Audrey, which was full of Lelei soldiers, and entered the base with Barbarossa's permissions. After taking control of the passage between the port and the main base. With the appearance of the Jewel of the Bethle and the command of the Barbarossa Land. The whole base has changed owners.

Everything went so smoothly. As soon as the fat man completes control of the base, he begins his treasure hunt. But. Look and see. Nothing was found.

These dull-eyed pirates are intent on making the fat man angry! …… The fat man decided to come and find Barbarossa in trouble.

Barbarossa sat on the cold steel floor and didn't speak. His face was swollen high. Several teeth had been knocked out, and the eye sockets were blue. The nose is also a little crooked, and it hurts a lot when I inhale.

"Huh?" The fat man raised his eyebrows in a strange voice.

Barbarosa shuddered, endured the pain and said, "I really don't have any money...... Robbery to eat. A little money. It's not about buying a boat. It's just spent all day drinking...... I don't know what will happen tomorrow today, who will save money and put it in the coffin? ”

"No righteousness!" The fat man's face is flat. looked at Barbarossa and said: "You are not righteous when you say this, speaking of which, we are also fate, we can be on the same boat, and we are friends...... Do you think I didn't hear stories when I was a kid, they all said that pirates like to collect treasure! ”

"When I was a child, I listened to the story...... "Barbarossa is sad from it."

The pirates on the side turned their heads away, occasionally glancing at each other, looking at each other's expressions, all of them a little strange. I don't know if it's fear or sadness.

In the interstellar world, the pirates, are a special group. It is special not because it lives on robbery, but because it is organized.

Due to the severe crackdown on piracy by various countries, in human society, once you become a pirate, it means that you will never be able to have a normal human life. You can only float in space, in one of the pirate group's space lair, or, for a short time, in Freeport.

This profession is for life. Even if you die of old age, you can only be in the group of pirates. If you have to enter the mainstream of human society, then, waiting for you, is hundreds of years of imprisonment, and in some countries, even the death penalty.

Therefore, the organizational structure of the pirate group is far tighter and more fixed than that of ordinary underworld organizations. They have their own base and a whole system. Each pirate group can be seen as a miniature society...... A society with a very strict hierarchy.

In the Redbeard Pirates, there are six levels, from ordinary pirates to big bosses. And every level means almost absolute rights!

A lowly-ranking minor leader can be powerful among a few or a dozen pirates under his jurisdiction. He lived in the best room, took the most shares, and let his men wash his feet. When eating, only when he has finished eating and leaves, can the other pirates be eligible to serve at the table.

When he slept, he was guarded by pirates, and any pirates who made too much noise affected his rest, and what awaited these pirates was a severe beating. If the boss is in a bad mood, there are more cruel punishment tricks to make him happy.

Similarly, in front of higher-level leaders, these small leaders are also the targets of random beatings and scolding. When he saw the big leader, he immediately stood respectfully on the side of the road and gave way. Talking back. Those who are ineffective in battle are ready to be beaten by the boss at any time.

It was such a pirate regiment that was captured by Barbarossa. With his iron fist, Hayreddin ruled for almost twenty years!

Barbarossa is not the son of the leader of the pirate group, nor was she born a pirate. When he joined the pirate group, he was nothing more than a handyman on a looted merchant ship.

As you can imagine, in Barbarossa's original identity, he climbed all the way to the pirate leader. How much suffering and how much torture they have suffered. But. In the end, he survived, and. Trampling on blood and corpses along the way, he became a redbeard pirate

The most ruthless and wise regiment commander ever.

No one dared to betray him, and no one dared to question his decision.

He led the Redbeard Pirate Regiment across the stars, sweeping away the Earth Star Field, which originally had more than a dozen intricate pirate forces. Let the entire Golden Triangle Star Field become the backyard of the Redbeard Pirates. His ruthlessness. He is also well-known throughout the pirate world, and all opponents who fall into his hands must die well.

Many people wonder if this man's heart is iron. You never know what he's thinking. You'll never get his friendship or pity. No matter who it was, in front of him, he could only feel a piercing chill.

He has knife-like eyes. Ruthless, moody. The pirates were afraid of him. It is engraved in the bones. In the Redbeard Pirates, he rules everyone's life and death!

The pirates never dreamed of it. One day, they will see Barbarossa trembling in front of a person, and they can't imagine that there are more ruthless people in this world than Barbarossa.

Or rather, that fat man is not human at all!

At first, no one knew how dangerous this fat man who smiled a little honestly and always looked kind. He always came over to brag with the pirates, drink and gamble, and tell meat jokes. There was no hostility at all.

To Barbarossa, he was even more polite, not at all like a victor who treats his captives. Not only did he smile and chat with Barbarossa, but from time to time he beckoned the kitchen to bring some good wine and food.

There was no beating, no punishment. The change from hell to heaven makes every pirate who has just fallen into the hands of Lelei's army feel very comfortable. Listening to this fat man, now that the war is fighting, there is actually no need for Lelei to get along with the Redbeard Pirates. They just happened to meet the Audrey and happened to get involved.

At the end of the day, they just wanted some benefit, or use the repair dock at the pirate base to repair the ship. Listening to the fat man's words, almost all the pirates were relieved. Whether it's a person or a group, once you have desires and weaknesses, it's easy to deal with.

For Barbarossa, exploiting the desires and weaknesses of his opponents is what he does best. To rule the bandits, you have to use such means. So, he skillfully gave some sweetness, enthusiastically helped the fat man to draw up a route map to Salga, and then, keeping secrets about other things, he very skillfully guided the pirates against the Lelei.

But it wasn't until a plate of food was put in Barbarossa's face that the pirates understood how crazy the fat man was.

Just a second before the fat man went berserk, he poured wine for Barbarossa with a smile on his face. Then, without warning, he did it. For a full five minutes, the positions that were all selected were painful, but not easy to be fatally injured, and the attack was ruthless and vicious.

At that time, all the pirates were stupid. Just before the fat man made a move, they were still admiring their head in their hearts, mocking the stupid fat man...

This stupid fat man seems to have worshipped the regiment commander as an idol, and his eyes lit up when he heard the regiment commander's pirate life...... Convinced of the words of the regiment commander. From his mouth, everyone got a lot of information about this destroyer......

The pirates were a little overwhelmed. They could only stare blankly...... Watching the regimental commander who was in charge of his own life and death, rolling in pain under the fat man's rain-like fists. I can't even moan. As soon as Barbarossa was about to speak, the fat man's fist would inevitably fall on his rib diaphragm, and his qi would be punched back again......

Originally, Barbarossa was also a tough guy. When he was still a handyman, no matter how much he was bullied and tortured, he could endure it. But in the hands of the fat man, the tears and snot were all down in just a few minutes, and he didn't even hold back his urine.

The thing that scares the pirates the most is...... After a violent beating, the fat man actually hugged Barbarossa and said very aggrievedly: "Son, the pain in your body is not as bad as my heart......"

As he spoke, he drew a knife and stabbed Barbarossa. If it weren't for Barbarossa's desperate efforts to turn around and give way, if it weren't for the fact that a few Lelei warriors standing aside hurriedly pulled the fat man back, this madman wouldn't have known that he had opened hundreds of holes in Barbarossa's body.

If this is the case, Barbarossa has also been cut a few times.

The medical officer helped Barbarossa bandage his wound, and the fat man stood by and watched with relish, insisting on helping to fix the wound...... With the grappling stab in his hand that was tied with a string......

The most devastating thing is that the fat man turned his face, but as if nothing had happened, he dragged Barbarossa to chat with him all day long. Ask all sorts of simple, repetitive, and outlandish questions.

How many pirates are there, how do they rob, what do they eat, how do they entertain, why do they make their clothes like this, why do men have beards, and why do women have mias...... It was not allowed not to answer, once he found that Barbarossa was a little mentally distracted, the fat man's eyes were wrong, and the flesh on his face twitched

Every time they saw the madman pat Barbarossa on the head and call him brother with great affection, the pirates felt a chill in their vests, as if a poisonous snake was crawling up their spines.

If Barbarossa's moodiness is just a means and is reasonable, then this fat man is a complete madman. What he likes most is to find ways to make you let your guard down and enjoy the peace and comfort before torturing you. And because of this, I was very excited.

Since then, everyone has realized that this fat man is a pervert! It was from that time that everyone no longer dared to pin their hopes on Barbarossa's wisdom. In front of this fat man, all the cunning, is a joke.

In a few days, Barbarossa, who had terrified countless merchant pirates, had completely lost the ability to resist. Now, although he is still nominally the leader of the Redbeard Pirates, in the minds of the pirates, he has been stripped of his metal shell.

Now, the interstellar navigation map, the pirate list, the distribution map of forces, and even the two most secret space nests have all been dug up by this fat man, and he has been eyeing the savings of the Redbeard Pirates over the years......

The pirates had no doubt that it would not be long before the fat man would get everything he wanted from Barbarossa's mouth.

"Say it" The fat man patted Barbarossa's head gently, and said kindly: "Hand over all the money, and you will be free......"
