Chapter 23 Vote by Raise of Hands
"You...... You're good!" said Allen, suppressing his anger and gritting his teeth.
Seeing that his friend Ferdy, who had always been on his side, had listened to Donner's lies and turned his back on him, Alan understood that even if he continued to forcibly oppose it, it would be useless, and he might push himself into the abyss of death.
Alan stared at Donner with undisguised resentment in his eyes, and his voice was low: "Since everyone agrees, then...... I don't have an opinion either. ”
Donner was surprised, and to be honest, he really wished that the stupid pirate leader would keep going, and that he might provoke him to madness, and then use an arquebus to drive him to his death.
It's just that he didn't expect Alan to be able to swallow his anger, he saw the killing intent in Allen's eyes, he thought that this idiot would pick up a scimitar and rush over, but he didn't expect him to restrain his anger.
If he hadn't resisted the impulse, he could have sent him to the goddess with a heavy buckshot of one or two, oh no!
Now that Alan has changed his tune and agreed to Jasmine's succession as the head of the pirate group, even if he wants to get rid of him, there is no excuse.
Donner felt a slight regret in his heart, he thought that he wanted to solve this problem immediately, after all, it was not a comfortable thing to let an outlaw pirate remember. But he had to consider the feelings of Ferdy and Hans, as well as the other pirates.
He weaved Willy's last words, and because of the interests of Hans and Ferdy, they did not question it even when they had doubts, and even acquiesced to Donner's words.
But if Eren is forcibly killed, it will definitely alarm these pirates. The days before you and your slaves join the pirate group are still very short, and it may be possible for these sensitive pirates to unite and point the knife at you, causing a civil war in the pirate group.
It's too costly, things get out of control, and importantly, it's not in line with Donner's idea of taking over the pirates.
Now that Willy is dead, there is no one who has the prestige to unify the entire pirate group.
And Donner used a little trick to separate the three leaders, and now he has the greatest power and becomes the biggest beneficiary.
What if you let Alan go today, just rely on the few surviving subordinates in his hands, waiting for the coming day, and you can't knead it as much as you want.
Thinking of this, after weighing the pros and cons, a smile appeared on the corner of Donner's mouth: "Very good, since everyone has no opinion, then from now on, Jasmine is our leader, and Hans is the deputy head of the pirate group." ”
"Now that Captain Willy is dead, we have to unite and return to Crescent Island safely. Donner looked sad, "In addition, the main thing at the moment is to find a place to bury the remains of the head of the regiment and the dead brothers, Captain Willy and the brothers are fighting everywhere to protect Crescent Island, and they must not just throw them into the sea and feed the fish." ”
Donner's words made the corners of Allen's mouth sneer, but it moved the hearts of some pirates.
Downer was right. Hans said with red eyes: "I have followed the head of the regiment for nearly ten years, if it were not for the head of the regiment I would have died at the hands of the nobles, I think we should immediately return to the island, let Miss Jasmine see the head of the regiment for the last time, and then bury Captain Willie on Crescent Island." ”
Alan and Ferdy didn't say anything about such a thing, they didn't have any intention of arguing, and they even felt a little disappreciative in their hearts, feeling that as pirates, they should be buried in the sea.
Downer sighed and said, "Hans, I understand your thoughts, but think about it, at our speed, it will be six days before we return to Crescent Island, and the bodies of the regiment commander and his brothers must have decomposed by then, so I think we should find the nearest island and bury them." ”
Hans was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Seeing that Hans agreed with his idea, Donner was in a happy mood. Now that Willy is dead, Hans, who has no opinion when it comes to big things, is starting to obey himself, which is a good start.
Habit is a terrible thing, and what you have to do is to slowly get Hans used to obey herself.
Donner stretched slightly, his hands were a little weak when he had been killing with a knife before, and now he felt that his whole body was full of strength.
Donner's eyes caught a glimpse of the sailors crouching in the bow of the ship, guarded by the pirates, and he coughed, "Then let's talk about what to do with these mercenaries!"
Donner's words reminded the pirates present that there was a group of captives on board, and they set their eyes on the sailors.
A touch of cruelty appeared on Allen's face: "This group of sailors dared to resist when they encountered our pirate group, and let us kill so many brothers, of course they should all be killed, and they should be thrown into the sea to feed the fish to avenge the brothers." ”
Alan has been suppressed by Donner, and the anger that has gathered in his stomach has nowhere to vent, just to vent these sailors.
There was a commotion among the sailors when they heard Alan's words.
Donner raised his eyebrows and flatly denied: "No." ”
Originally, there was no problem with killing these sailors Donner. A naval battle caused so many pirate group deaths, and killing these people just allowed the pirate group to vent their anger in their hearts, and they could also use killing to win people's hearts by the way.
But this was brought up by Allen, and Donner had to object.
Donner wanted to suppress his arrogance, thwart his prestige, dismantle the authority of the deputy head of the pirate group, and begin to establish his own prestige within the pirate group.
Donner glanced at Allen, didn't care about Allen's eyes that almost spewed flames, and said in a deep voice: "They killed many of our brothers, and they should be buried with the head of the regiment......"
The sailors were originally very nervous when they heard Alan say that they were going to kill them, but after seeing Donner's objection, they suddenly felt relaxed, but when they heard Donner's words at this time, they immediately became agitated.
"We are only mercenaries, and we have surrendered, please don't kill us. ”
"Brothers, the pirates are fierce and vicious, and they don't want to let us go, so we fight with them. ”
"Yes, if you fight, you have to pull a few to hell together if you die. ”
"But......" Donner said, glancing at the group of sailors, continued, "now that Miss Jasmine is the head of the group, I think we should bring these people back to Crescent Island and let Master Jasmine dispose of them." ”
Hearing this, the sailors' hearts relaxed again, and they couldn't help but quietly wipe the sweat from their foreheads.
"Donner, you're not in the name of Head Jasmine. Alan sneered, trying to stir up the emotions of the pirates, "Brothers, you say these bastards, should they die, should they kill them to avenge the captain." ”
"Kill them. Kill them. Several of Alan's pirates shouted in response to their leader's words, causing Hans's men and Ferdy's men to hesitate and look at each other.
The hearts of the sailors began to be nervous again, and they couldn't help but curse in their hearts, what the hell is this damn pirate, if you want to kill or scrape, you will give Lao Tzu a good time.
Donner was expressionless and said calmly: "In this case, now that Captain Jasmine is not here, then we will all raise our hands to decide, and those who do not raise their hands will be regarded as abstaining." ”
The pirates wondered for a while, thinking to themselves what they were doing, and when to kill a few captives had to be decided by raising their hands? In the past, didn't the pirate group kill the captives when they wanted to, and let them go when they wanted?
"Agree with me, please raise your hand. Donner was the first to raise his hand.
With a bang, more than two dozen hands were raised, all of them the slaves who had been following Donner.
Donner glanced at the people around him, fixing his gaze on Hans, who was now regarded by Willy's old men as their new leader, and they were also waiting for Hans's decision......
