Chapter Ninety-Seven: Coercion
Blackbeard's fleet is anchored in the open sea near Parliament Island, the blue sea is lined with black sails, and the intertwined shadows of the ships stain the sea black like ink, and a large area of the sea has been divided and occupied by the large and small fleets led by the four pirates.

The huge combined fleet group stretched for dozens of nautical miles, as far as the eye could see, and the sea that was flattened by ships was full of supply ships and merchant ships full of ants
Just after Yalei, in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, issued a summoning order, the pirates registered in the uncharted sea received the order and gathered one after another.
The other three pirate groups rushed to the vicinity of the Pirate Council very face--if they don't want to give face, they can't do it, the Pirate Council is their common interest, and if they don't maintain this layer of tiger skin, there will be no legal reason to exploit the low-level pirates in the future.
In the face of the first summoning order, most of the pirates were fresh and curious and uneasy, looking forward to the big news, but secretly praying that it would not affect them.
As they expected, Blackbeard the Sea Pirate made a big announcement.
Speaking in his latest parliament, he claimed that weapons of mass destruction are hidden on the island of the Ghost Islands in the uncharted waters and are very likely to threaten the security of the surrounding waters.
The black-haired knight then presented the council with "hard evidence" - a small tube of honey locust powder.
Although the ingredient is honey locust powder, the smell is honey locust powder, and the color and texture are honey locust powder, but now it has a terrifying new name - the undead virus.
Hearing this unheard-of mysterious weapon, the entire Pirate Council was confused, and then Yare proved the danger of this terrifying weapon with practical actions.
The first to come on the scene were the salted fish, and yes, the tragic undead fish that were so weak that even fishmongers could catch them at will.
The black-haired knight had already sent them to an uninhabited desert island to "retire", but now that the situation has changed, he has arranged a new identity for this group of salted fish - victims of the undead virus.
In front of a group of high-level pirates, the big salted fish led by him cried bitterly, and told the tragic experience of himself and his companions in a very rhythmic crying tone, which means almost like this:
"We originally lived in the east of the uncharted sea, with more water and food, fewer natural enemies, and a happy life. ”
"One day, the ghost ship suddenly dived, and it was horrific and cruel, and it was cruel and cruel, and it threw a poisonous scourge on the world. ”
"The toxins enter the body and the shape of the body is eroded, and it is difficult to sleep without a sweet taste. ”
"One day, the fish will be turned into a muddy nightmare for countless days. ”
"When I woke up, I had become a salted fish, sour and smelly. ”
"Pity my old grandmother, and then faint for countless days. ”
"Hate that ghost island, it's too insidious, and the sea cage ignites the volcano. ”
"I want to kill my mouth and do everything, and my father was burned into a charcoal-grilled fish, and this hatred is even more difficult to fill. ”
"Although we were physically disabled, we escaped from our homes and went to the sea. ”
"From now on, wear your lips with a sharp hook, and remember that hatred is not shared!"
In fact, their mouths were pierced by a group of fishmongers, and turning into salted fish has nothing to do with Ghost Island, and the content of their cries is even more illusory - how can fish remember what their parents look like, they all grew up by luck, and it is impossible for such a high-end relationship between grandparents and grandmothers.
But it doesn't matter, all of this is just to make Ghost Island take the blame.
It doesn't matter if it's a fact, as long as those sitting in the Pirate House believe that it's a fact, even for the time being, it's enough for Yare.
"Actually...... What are they trying to do? Turn us into salted fish?"
"It's really inhumane, they don't even let the fish? ”
"Even fish are going to become undead, let alone us. ”
Some of the war maniacs consciously understood Blackbeard's meaning, and the other part of the people with insufficient intelligence also chimed in, and the hall was soon filled with a lot of noise.
Knowing that a few salted fish alone were not enough conclusive evidence, Yare brought the remaining witnesses into the scene: paralyzed patients, lifeless corpses, and rotting and stenching undead.
"After being infected with the necromantic virus, the victim will experience weakness in the limbs, paralysis of the whole body, and intermittent pain. Then little by little the ability to control the body is lost, and within three to five days it will be paralyzed, and the body will also decay and pus. ”
The black-haired knight introduced the virulence of the undead virus as he walked briskly down the marble staircase to the bald patient with a pale face and a dazed expression.
Click!
Reaching out and tearing off the white hospital gown on his body, he displayed the tattered body with a peculiar smell, festering sores, and green juice in front of everyone without reservation.
"Shhhh
The hall of the council suddenly resounded with the sound of gasps one after another.
"Why is his symptoms so similar to late syphilis?"
A well-informed, pointed-eyed, and perhaps unspeakable pirate councilor stared at the patient's stiff lumps and made a questioning voice.
"That's right, this friend is right, it's a lot like late syphilis. ”
Hearing this, Yalei gave a thumbs up to the other party, and continued to talk nonsense without blushing or panting:
"But this is still the initial symptom, if this toxin is allowed to erode, the victim's body function will continue to decline, and after severe cases, even the ability to breathe will be lost, and eventually the death will be very, very painful. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly pointed to the councillor who had just spoken, and said with a solemn expression:
"If you have suspected symptoms now, then it may not be syphilis, or maybe it is this undead virus, and it will be miserable to let it break out. ”
"What then?"
The pirate councillor panicked all of a sudden, looked at him nervously, and then looked at the sick number that had rotted into a "rotten person", and his face suddenly became extremely pale, as if he would turn into a piece of paper and fly away at any moment.
"Don't worry, there is still a way forward for this virus. Hurry to my ship now and go to my ship doctor, Nancy, who has a way to help you contain the condition. The black-haired knight "kindly" pointed out a way out for the other party.
"Good, good!"
The councillor, who had been frightened, immediately left his seat as if he had heard his instructions, lifting his pants and spreading his legs sharply, jumping towards the exit in a posture that resembled an ape.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the sooner you get treated, the better your chances of healing!"
Yalei kept yelling at his back, making the other party run faster and faster, and his posture became more and more awkward.
Waiting for the figure of the other party to leave the council hall completely, he retracted his gaze and sneered in his heart - this patient is a fake concocted with advanced syphilis and green pigment, since you can see it, then I can't keep you here.
"We continue to introduce the virus. ”
The black-haired knight put the torn rag back on the patient, turned back to the seats of the councillors, and pointed to the corpse and said:
"After being infected with the virus, they will die in a week at most, and there is a high chance that they will turn into undead - dirty, ugly, and unintelligent inferior undead. The salted fish that just spoke is a special case among the infected, and there is such a single one of tens of thousands of tuna, so you had better not take chances. ”
"Mr. Commander. ”
Another pirate councilor stood up, pointed to the glass test tube in his finger, and asked hesitantly:
"If what you have in your hands is the Necrovirus virus, then how did you get it, or what evidence do you have that it is the Necrovirus virus?"
"Isn't the answer right in front of you, it's all thanks to this group of undead fish, and these virus powders also come from their bodies. However, we can ask the undead on Ghost Island for details. ”
Yalei immediately changed the topic, throwing all the doubts on Salted Fish and the Island of the Dead, and the new topic was extremely controversial, so the transfer was very successful.
"What? Negotiate with the undead?"
The Pirate Council was in an uproar, like a boiling boiler lifting the lid in an instant, and everyone's words spread like water vapor. The tumult continued for a long time before it subsided slightly, and several members of the council rose from their seats and asked:
"Ask those undead what they mean?"
"Did you just want to negotiate peacefully with those dead people when you formed the Combined Fleet?"
"If they do have weapons of mass destruction, what are you going to get from him?"
The black-haired knight stood at the center of the storm of speech, laughing and saying nothing, until the noise of the council hall had completely died down and silence had returned, and then he answered their questions one by one:
"I mean, with a certain level of negotiation in preparation for war. During the negotiations, I will take our fleet and ask them to explain what happened before, and at the same time investigate the authenticity of weapons of mass destruction. ”
"Who's going to negotiate, who's going to be able to communicate with the dead?"
"Those dead bones will surely kill our messenger!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, we need war, raze Ghost Island with our artillery fire and fleet!"
The pirate councillors banged on the stone table in front of them and shouted again.
"Quiet!"
Yalei's voice suddenly erupted, and the sound wave shook the air to form a circle of ripples visible to the naked eye, sweeping from where he was standing to the entire council hall, and the noise and fragmentation of the space suddenly became clear.
"I will take my men to Ghost Island to meet the High Undead in person, and the combined fleet will be used as a means for our Pirate Alliance to show force and go to war immediately if necessary. ”
Taking advantage of this gap, the black-haired knight directly stated his plan, leaving the pirate councilors stunned for a while.
"Bring the Combined Fleet...... Negotiating?" The other three sea pirates were also silently chewing on his intentions.
"War is a continuation of politics, not an end in itself, and I am gathering the fleet to increase the bargaining chips. The High Undead of Ghost Island are not fools, and after we show our will to resist, we may compromise to some extent - at least, to verify some truth. ”
"What if the negotiations fail and are rejected?" one lawmaker asked bitterly.
"If it fails. ”
Yalei swept his gaze across the council hall and replied word by word: "If necessary, my men and I will fight on the front line, and you will act cheaply depending on the situation." (To be continued.) )
