"Chief! Chief!"
The calls from his subordinates woke Gaden out of his memories.
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"The boat is almost loaded, it's time for us to leave."
"Okay, get on the boat."
Gaden led the remaining pirates quickly towards the shore.
Under the bright moonlight, four larger pirate ships can be seen floating on the sea in the distance, and Skull Flag hanging on the mast can be vaguely seen.
Soon they boarded a small boat and paddled hard towards the big ship in the distance. Because it contained too many things, the pirates' big ship couldn't get too close to the shore, otherwise it would be troublesome if it ran aground.
After reaching the ship, they climbed up the rope ladder and came to the deck.
A leader came over and reported, "Boss, everything is ready."
Gaden ordered with high spirits, "Set the ship!"
The four galleys began to move, and some newly captured slaves had already begun working as oarsmen. Along with whips and curses, their tragic fate began.
In the room on the poop, Gaden and a group of leaders were discussing the next move.
One of them reported, "Our people at Franklin Harbor have received information that Blue-striped Dogs have just been equipped with a new type of ship. It is said that it can run very fast without rowing and can only rely on wind power."
Gaden was a little surprised. "So magical?"
"He saw it with his own eyes, and the Blue-striped Dogss are still recruiting troops, which means they will kill us all."
Gaden rubbed his chin and began to think carefully.
After Barnett gave him the first batch of pills, he couldn't wait to take them out for testing. However, out of caution, the first test subject only chose a small Pirate Crew body composed of dozens of people.
Gaden sent an invitation to this small group to rob a village in the joint district. The other party believed it and came to the meeting place as agreed. What awaited them were ten humanoid monsters that had taken Secret Medicine.
All members of Little Pirate Crew fought hard, but the battle ended just over 5 minutes after both sides drew their weapons. Nearly half of Little Pirate Crew's people were torn alive by Gaden's men, and the remaining people collapsed on the ground, shaking all over and losing the strength to stand up.
Thinking of the tragic situation of those people who were torn alive, he still feels nauseated.
The overjoyed Gaden quickly aimed at the next target, this time Pirate Crew with nearly 200 people, and he also sent 30 people to deal with them.
The process was still as simple as chopping vegetables and melons. After realizing that they were as fragile as children in front of adults, more than 100 people on the other side who were still alive knelt on the ground and surrendered.
Soon the third and fourth Pirate Crew were annexed by the "Loach" gang. So far, they have grown to more than 600 people.
Next, Gaden changed his strategy. Although most pirates recognized the truth that whoever had the bigger fist was the boss, there were still many fools who were not convinced by violence and coercion. He planned to establish some kind of prestige for himself and convince other pirates.
At this time, the best thing to do to build prestige is to fight against Arda Navy, which has continuously defeated the pirates.
Of course, at this time, Gaden still felt that he was still fledgling, so he had not yet thought about going head-to-head with Arda Navy.
But it's easy to do things that make Blue-striped Dogs people look bad on their faces.
With the help of hidden lines on land, he planned several small-scale attacks. Fortunately, more than half of the attacks were successful. The few that failed did not suffer much loss. Now his reputation has gradually spread on Northwest Bay.
Blue Striped Nemesis - The pirates gave him a new nickname, which is likely to replace the old nickname "Loach". Now his... this new nickname is one of the few remaining ways for the pirates to comfort themselves when facing Arda Navy.
Gaden After thinking about it, he snorted and said, "It seems that our long-term forbearance has given them the illusion that I am the best in the world. It's time to teach them a lesson."
The pirate leaders in the cabin became excited. It seemed that the boss was going to do something big.
Sure enough, Gaden told the leader who just reported the intelligence, "We plan a fake operation to divert the main force of the navy. While Franklin Harbor's troops are empty, let's try to snatch their newly launched strange ship for fun."
The leader grinned widely. "Yes, boss is wise! Boss, you are still courageous."
Gaden ignored his flattery and continued, "Let Franklin Harbor's people strengthen intelligence collection. Whether we can mobilize the main force of the navy will be the most critical point in our plan."
The leaders became excited. In the past, it was just a small fight, but now they are going to directly grab Arda Navy's ship. Can you not make people excited? With the blessing of the magical medicine that appeared out of nowhere some time ago, Gaden's subordinates were enveloped in a strong sense of self-confidence, and they worshiped the leader who could obtain this magical medicine even more.
"This time we must make Blue-striped Dogs look good!"
"After robbing Blue-striped Dogs, the other Pirate Crew will cry and beg us to allow them to join!"
"I told you that if you follow Boss Gaden, your future will definitely be bright."
The pirates talked to each other word by word, as if they already had a chance to win.
"Bah!" Gaden slammed the table hard, startling everyone, and the person who was speaking suddenly closed his mouth.
The leader was seen frowning, with an indescribable gloom on his face.
"They are all very capable. Our team has just started to show some improvement, and each one of them no longer knows their last name. They are all getting carried away."
"Let me tell you, the current situation is still one where the enemy is strong and we are weak. Although we ourselves have six to seven hundred people, which is more than Arda Navy, don't forget that Greiman still has an army of more than 1,000 people."
"Have you all forgotten how Quirk Gang and Shark Gang ended up? It's only been a few months?"
The pirate leader looked like he hated iron and scolded his men for half an hour.
Finally, tired of scolding, he picked up a can of water and drank several sips, then sat there with a sullen face and said nothing.
One of the leaders carefully apologized and said with a smile, "Hey, boss Gaden. What you have taught me is that the brothers have indeed become a bit inflated recently, but this is also because your leadership skills are so outstanding that our fleet has grown so much all of a sudden. Don't worry, we will definitely change our ways, abandon our current arrogance, and follow you well."
Others also reacted and agreed, "Yeah, yeah, I'm really a little dizzy during this period."
"There are suddenly so many people under my command, and I can't adapt to it all of a sudden."
After everyone expressed their opinions, Gaden nodded, and his voice softened a little. "I'm not really angry with you. The development of our fleet now includes the hard work of everyone here. So I feel like walking on thin ice every day, for fear that if I am not careful, everyone's hard work will be in vain."
The pirates were very moved by these words and once again expressed their loyalty.
Gaden announced, "Okay, let's continue to discuss how to bring out Arda Navy's main force."
