836 Sea Route (1/2)
In the middle of the azure ocean, the dorsal fins of numerous sharks could be clearly seen forming a triangle of death. They were densely packed and fighting against each other to tear apart the flesh being thrown from the ship.
At the same time, the few unlucky fellows who had been disclosed as the former captain's trusted aides were cowering in fear as they stood on the gangplank, covered in wounds. In front of them was a sea of sharks, yet behind them were former comrades pointing weapons at them.
There was no doubt that such torture was extremely terrible, but the most frightening aspect was still the psychological pressure.
”Captain, your wine!”
Bill could not wait to deliver a bottle of wine from the ship's treasure collection. Presently, Fang Yuan was leisurely sitting on a cushioned chair with turkey, as well as a fork and knife, placed before him.
”Not bad!”
While cutting the turkey, he was watching the unlucky fellows being forced to jump into the ocean one by one and letting out ear-piercing shrieks.
Regarding this, all the sailors kept quiet out of fear.
From today onward, they would all be extremely afraid of this captain who smiled as he killed.
Fang Yuan was already the captain of Mockingbird.
He was wearing the captain's hat that originally belonged to Fred and dressed in a well-ironed trench coat with an exquisite gold-plated commander knife on his waist.
Looking at its design, it seemed to be some navy officer's beloved item, though he was unsure which pirate had offered it.
As the pirate ship's captain, Fang Yuan not only had control over the ship and the sailors, as well as the privilege of obtaining more of the loot, he could also order the crew to give him offerings.
The rules on this were basically equivalent to how vassals had an obligation to their lords. Every year, they had to contribute a certain amount of free labor and goods, though only to a certain limit.
Of course, given that Fang Yuan was now the new captain and establishing his authority, unless his subordinates lost their mind, they would definitely only be incessantly currying favor with him.
At last, when Fang Yuan leisurely finished the last drumstick, all the unlucky fellows had already been forced into the sea.
The screams had also stopped. Only large amounts of light red blood and scraps of clothing remained floating on the sea, causing those looking on to shudder in fear.
”Captain!” At this moment, another pirate came forward, stuttering over some of his words. ”B-B-Butcher looks like he's not going to make it!”
”Bring me there!”
Fang Yuan wiped his mouth gracefully with a napkin and got up.
Frankly speaking, Butcher could also be considered as one of Fred's trusted aides. However, he had intentionally pardoned Butcher.
The reason was simple. Apart from artificially creating barriers among the original pirate team, he also needed someone who could fight.
Otherwise, what would become of him if he, as the leader, was the first one to dash out whenever they met trouble? Was he the captain or the assault leader?
Butcher's massive body was lying flat on the deck while vomiting blood.
The only ship's doctor was flustered at the side, his face full of sweat. Unfortunately, there was nothing more he could do.
After all, Fang Yuan's attack earlier had practically broken Butcher's sternum into pieces, which had then stabbed into his internal organs. It was already a miracle that he was still alive. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
Seeing how Butcher, who was originally the fiercest person, was now in this state, the pirates gained an even greater understanding of Fang Yuan's strength.
”After some time, you will all know how fortunate you are to have someone like me as your captain!” Fang Yuan said with a deep voice as he scanned his surroundings.
Currently, the pirates only had a deep fear of him since he had solely brought massacre and death to them, without the slightest benefit.
If this continued, Fang Yuan did not have any doubt that when they rested and reorganized at the next port, more than half of these pirates would secretly run away.
The method to manage subordinates was to employ a balance of reward and punishment.
Previously, he had revealed his tyrannical side; now, he should give some favors.
Fang Yuan stepped forward and saw that Butcher's face was already deathly pale, as though he was going to be in the grim reaper's embrace at any moment.
”Bill, bring me a pot of water!” he commanded indifferently. Such a small amount of extraordinary power is only a drop in the ocean for the main body anyway!
After taking the waterskin from Bill, a visible orb of white light emerged from Fang Yuan's hands and entered the waterskin.
”Let him drink half! Pour the other half on his wounds! This is a healing potion I made that can heal heavy injuries!”
After hearing his words, the ship's doctor's eyes brightened and was soon in disbelief.
The other pirates also immediately leaned in to take a closer look.
After all, their field of work was tantamount to having their brains stuck to their waistband, where it was common for them to suffer serious injuries.
Bloop! Bloop!
After being fed half of the water, the results were instantly seen. Butcher coughed once and opened his eyes.
”God!”
”Impossible…”
Even though they already knew how frightening Fang Yuan was, the pirates around him still softly cried out in surprise, which clearly showed the extent of shock in their minds.
Next, as water flowed into Butcher's chest, a series of crackling and rattling sounds were heard. Butcher's chest, which was originally caved in, was actually recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
