861 Bestow (2/2)
A turbulent stream of water directly dashed into the group of pirates and pulled out the pirates who had mocked him earlier.
”I'll give all of you a chance. Either get rid of me, or I'll get rid of you!”
Bill rubbed his knuckles.
”Let's go all out!”
”Kill!”
The pirates exchanged panicked glances, drew their weapons, and formed a circle.
Smack!
A cutlass chopped down violently, but a stream of water stopped it.
One of the pirates had a bad feeling. However, just as he wanted to retreat, he was immediately captured by a tall blue figure. With one palm strike, his head was forcibly pushed into his chest.
”Who else?”
With punches and kicks, Bill cleanly disposed of the pirates who were attacking from all sides and then roared into the sky.
The surrounding pirates immediately cowered, and no one dared to step forward.
”Who… else…?”
Bill returned to his usual figure and had a terrifying aura as he scanned his surroundings.
This is the perfect representation of how strength is usually accompanied by ambition…
Upon seeing this, Fang Yuan fell into deep thought. Previously, Bill didn't have the strength to suppress the fierce pirates under him, so he was content with being below others. But now, it seems like there are some foreboding signs.
More often than not, such people were likely to go to extremes.
However, he was confident that with his control over the overall situation, nothing much could happen.
”Butcher! Wilson!”
He then looked at the remaining two people.
”Thanks, Boss. In the name of our souls, we swear that we'll definitely be loyal to you for all eternity!”
Wilson and Butcher immediately stepped forward emotionally and took the gold cup.
Practically all the pirates were enviously watching them do this.
After all, they were becoming true Extraordinaries!
For pirates, they were not afraid of giving their souls to the devil in exchange for power.
Even if it was only for a single extraordinary item, they would still recklessly tear each other apart like dogs, much less becoming true Extraordinaries.
It was possible to lose an item, but it would be very difficult to snatch away one's powers.
”Hmm… Wilson will be Slavery's captain, with Butcher as the chief officer, while Bill will be Fiery Lotus's chief officer!”
After thinking about it, Fang Yuan revised their positions.
After all, it was already proven earlier that Bill was unsuitable to be in a position to make decisions even with sufficient strength.
Furthermore, his disposition was relatively weak, and he needed to be placed near him for further observation.
”Yes, Captain!”
The three saluted immediately. Of course, Bill's expression revealed slight discontentment. Fang Yuan observed it but was unconcerned.
”Anyone who is loyal to me and does their utmost in battle will not shed blood in vain…”
In the end, Fang Yuan raised the gold cup. ”In my name as Arcane Trickster Roche, I swear that all pirates who serve me will receive equal treatment! As long as you accumulate enough contributions, I'll help you become an Extraordinary!”
”Long live the boss!”
”Long live the captain!”
…
All the pirates immediately cheered and were full of enthusiasm.
”Very good. Set sail for the Nightmare Ocean!” Fang Yuan waved his hand, and the sailors jumped into action, as though he had whipped them.
Even the original pirates did not have the slightest objection.
With three living examples among them, while feeling envious, they also made up their minds to follow Fang Yuan unhesitantly even if he intended to go to the netherworld.
”Boss!”
Fang Yuan stood on the deck with the sea breeze blowing against him.
At some point, Cassenia and Rolisa arrived behind him with a worried look.
”I know… you're worried that my ability will be leaked and be coveted…” Fang Yuan looked at his right palm. ”The reason why I picked today and left right after the promotions was precisely to limit the effects as much as possible… After this time, the entire ocean's pirate forces will experience a huge reshuffle. We either succeed and gain reputation or fail and be crushed into oblivion, so there's no need to consider too much…”
Fang Yuan gazed toward the Nightmare Ocean, and his eyes glistened.
How could he be absent and miss the closure of an era and the beginning of a great era?
”Sea voyage is the theme of this world. If I want to reap the greatest benefits, I must constantly be at the head of the tide and influence it while evading the world's counterattack…”
After reaping so many worlds during his dream-traversing, Fang Yuan was already highly experienced.
Furthermore, he had a premonition.
As his influence on this world deepened, perhaps when it reached a certain threshold, there would come a time when his main body could break into the real world and truly advance to Demon God!
”The ocean's future will certainly be an era of steam cannons. If I want to have a footing in that era, I must have something to rely on…”
Fang Yuan sighed and took out the crystal ball.
The smoke inside the crystal ball suddenly moved. The originally upright pillar of smoke bent and pointed toward a certain direction.
