Chapter 789: The Will of the Pirate King
Wally Bane's idea was good, and he did boost morale.
But the lookout had already secretly run away by this time, so Wally Bane had no idea what kind of opponent he was facing.
Those recruited by Wally Bane also acted based on their past impressions of pirates.
In everyone's impression , pirates are pirates after all. Having a dozen ships is enough to be called a big pirate, and having three to five thousand people can call yourself a certain pirate king.
After Wally Bane assembled his army, Gan Ning's pirate group finally entered the defenders' field of vision. There was a super-large main ship, followed by a dozen smaller ships, and behind them was a group of smaller ships. Behind them were endless sails.
At this moment Wally Bane was completely confused. The largest ship on his side was only equivalent to the second-class ship, and the rest were just small boats.
Wally Bane wanted to escape, but it was too late. As the vast cloud slowly pressed down on him, besides the intense shock, there was also endless fear.
The defenders recruited by Wally Bane were all trembling with fear.
They had seen fleets of this size before, that was the Kushan navy, that was the imperial navy, but they had never seen a pirate group of this size.
This level of scale is totally beyond their ability to handle.
Gan Ning's fleet slowly pressed forward. Looking at the opponents who had almost lost the will to fight, Gan Ning sneered with disdain. As expected, these guys were all soft persimmons. They sounded powerful, but once they encountered a situation, they were all weaklings.
"Who's in charge here?"
Sakara asked condescendingly, and all the soldiers turned to look at Wally Bane. Wally Bane wanted to strangle these trash to death, but he had to walk out tremblingly.
"My dear sir, is there any misunderstanding? What are you here for?" Wally Bane said in a humble tone. He couldn't remember the last time he was so humble.
"Come up, the Pirate King wants to ask you a question!" Sakara said coldly.
Then he fell down and lifted Wallybane in front of Ganning.
"I sent people to trade supplies before, but they were killed. Do you know who did it?" Gan Ning asked casually.
Wallybane's legs went weak and he fell to his knees on the deck. Only then did he finally remember that all the pirates in the Pacific had been recruited by Gan Ning.
The cargo ship he had robbed before belonged to Gan Ning. He originally wanted to avoid Gan Ning and lie dormant for a while, but he didn't expect that a small mistake would bring him trouble.
"Your Excellency the Pirate King, please understand that I didn't know!" Wally Bane quickly got up and said, he wanted to deny the matter since he had no evidence anyway.
"You are lying!" Gan Ning shook his head. His Pirate King now had the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood, and he clearly felt that Wally Bane was lying.
"It's a pity that you didn't seize this opportunity!" Gan Ning shook his head and waved his hand to have someone deal with Wally Bane. With his current status, it would be too cheap to do it himself. "Kill him and hang him at the port for everyone to see!"
"Okay, these ships are great, I want them, and let my brothers tow them back." Gan Ning said casually, "As for these people, those who are willing to surrender can be taken, and those who are unwilling can be killed."
With simple and direct words, Gan Ning decided the fate of two to three thousand people on the Hawaiian Islands.
No one dared to resist. Surrounded by a hundred thousand pirates, none of them wanted to die.
Gan Ning did not start a massacre because he no longer needed to shed too much blood to prove his status.
At this position, he is now more focused on talent.
Now he understood why Chen Xi and Guo Hao did not kill some of the aristocratic families outright, but instead gave them room for reform.
Talent is really precious. The pirates themselves are all ugly and uncultured people, and there are only a handful of them who understand culture.
Being able to understand flag signals and military orders is a result of Sakara's good teaching.
Otherwise, Gan Ning would not have insisted on letting people like Otakemaru who are truly capable of fighting take charge of logistics, because no one really understood.
Only Otakemaru's tribe received some education in the Han Dynasty and were able to make it through, but none of these pirates could be relied upon.
So Gan Ning doesn't like killing people now. He prefers to capture these people, train them, and then use them for his own purposes.
As for the issue of loyalty, believing in the Pirate King is naturally the prerequisite for everything, and as long as he believes in the Pirate King, Gan Ning can take control of the overall situation at any time.
What's more, as long as he holds the military power, any conspiracy or trick is ridiculous in front of him.
After some cleaning, Gan Ning had a lot of empty ships under his command.
Gan Ning shook his head and ordered the army to dock and head towards the port city. Hawaii is not big, but it is not small either, and there are many people living there.
Everyone hid in their homes, fearing that Gan Ning would order a massacre. Pirates did not have a good image in their minds. As a maritime city, the brutality of pirates was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Move all the things away! Including those hiding in the house!" After admiring the scenery, Gan Ning gave orders to the pirates behind him.
Soon the city began to riot.
Pirates are brutal. This is not a smear, but in many cases pirates are really brutal. The cities simply omitted their brutal side and did not process it too much.
Tens of thousands of pirates were rapidly plundering supplies and people, and they were definitely not abiding by the rules during the process. Their anti-human side made Gan Ning sneer repeatedly.
In his eyes, everything the pirates did was nothing. They were just barbarians and it didn't matter if they died. He himself was not a good guy either.
He specifically used this method to let the pirates release the depression they had been suppressed and trained for during this period of time.
But he would not let go of any of those pirates who went beyond the rules, because they had disobeyed the orders of the Pirate King.
The Pirate King doesn't care about killing or looting, but there is one thing: the Pirate King's will cannot be questioned.
"Take people and capture all those disobedient pirates. We will deal with them in front of everyone later." Gan Ning waved his hand and ordered his carefully trained First Pirate Group to set out to maintain order.
When Gan Ning left, he took everything with him, including people and supplies, and left behind only an abandoned empty shell of a city.
Gan Ning wanted to keep him, because sooner or later, he would come here to plunder.
As for wanted lists and hostility, he didn't care at all, because he was already at the center of the storm, and no matter how low-key he was, there would always be people who would cause trouble for him.
Then he might as well just keep a high profile. Anyway, as long as he made a big enough noise, the Han Dynasty would give him more support. He was not afraid at all.
