Facing the imposing Fang Senyan, the pirates huddled together, their expressions revealing their fear of him, yet they refused to give way, let alone attack. The stalemate lasted less than a few minutes when the black guy who had occupied the high ground pointed to the stern and shouted with wild laughter, "Hahaha, One-Eyed Hogg actually took his confidants and escaped in a small boat! You stupid donkeys are fighting to the death here, but your boss has abandoned you!"

Hearing this news, the pirates blocking Fang Senyan's path were thunderstruck. They couldn't help but turn back to look, and sure enough, they saw One-Eyed Hogg, looking like a lost dog, clutching his severed arm and leaving with a few confidants in a small boat. They were immediately disheartened, and the weapons they held fell to the deck.

Speaking of which, One-Eyed Hogg was truly having a bad year. He had just rowed his lifeboat out of Fang Senyan's clutches when, to his misfortune, he was spotted by a British armed merchant ship. The small boat was directly blown over a few nautical miles away, and the people on board truly fed the Caribbean sharks...

In fact, strictly speaking, One-Eyed Hogg didn't intend to abandon his comrades to escape. It was just that his spirit had been broken earlier, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt the strength of Fang Senyan's group. One-Eyed Hogg was very clear about the strength of the group he had left behind, and he fully believed that Fang Senyan would launch a massacre, so he directly regarded these cannon fodder subordinates as dead men. Therefore, he decisively slipped away, because if he wasn't decisive, he wouldn't be able to escape, intending to directly find some people from the pirate main fleet to help settle the score.

How could he know that Fang Senyan had other plans? He was planning to recruit these men under him? Therefore, this series of actions fell right into Fang Senyan's conspiracy, playing out according to Fang Senyan's script.

Seeing that these pirates had lost their fighting spirit, Fang Senyan waved his hand, and the pirates under his command, with high morale, took up their weapons and surrounded the remaining fifty or so men of One-Eyed Hogg.

Although Fang Senyan's actual number was still smaller, in terms of feeling and momentum, it was as if they were using ten times the number of people to surround these men of One-Eyed Hogg. These pirates trembled in fear and huddled together, some already begging, while others began to roar in anger.

Faced with this situation, Fang Senyan estimated that he stood coldly in front of them, without making any sound, until the atmosphere of despair completely dominated these pirates, then he fiercely slashed the long knife in the air a few times, and then cursed at them, "You cowards, trash, idiots, have you lost even the courage to fight?"

No one dared to answer Fang Senyan's words, but some began to feel insulted, and the blood in their hearts surged upwards, and they raised their weapons to aim at Fang Senyan.

At this time, Fang Senyan nodded with satisfaction. He looked at these pirates who dared to raise their weapons to face him directly with a slightly admiring look, "Very good, you guys who should have been thrown into the sea to add some nutrition to the sharks finally have some ability."

Saying that, Fang Senyan turned his head and shouted at the pirates under his command, "Tell these dejected children who they lost to!"

The pirates under Fang Senyan were in high spirits, and they all roared together, "You lost to the Flying Dutchman's Third Mate! To the sailor Rock from the East! The heart of the Corrupted Corpse is his trophy, and Armand is played by him in the palm of his hand!!"

For these men of One-Eyed Hogg, the six words "Flying Dutchman" were definitely more deafening than any Corrupted Corpse or Armand. You must know that the status of those three legendary warships in the minds of all pirates was truly as deeply rooted as the holy land and spiritual belief.

No matter how powerful their leader, Chevalier, was, after all, his flagship had not been among the legendary warships.

Immediately, the pirates whispered to each other, and from time to time looked at Fang Senyan, obviously to match him with those stories that had been circulating from the mouths of different bartenders/dancing girls!

In less than half a minute, the men of One-Eyed Hogg became very depressed. A big man wearing a fur vest walked up with his head down and bowed, "Since we lost to Your Excellency, then we can be considered to have lost without injustice. Being able to use these old, weak, sick, and disabled guys plus a single-masted sailboat to successfully capture the British's three-masted 'Galleon' oar-and-sail boat, you truly deserve to be a famous figure on the legendary warship. We have decided to give up resisting, please take our lives if that can appease your anger."

Fang Senyan scoffed, "Do you think my goal is a pitiful three-masted oar-and-sail boat? You are wrong! I am already tired of the life of a Third Mate, my goal should at least be a large caravel five-masted sailboat! My flagship will inevitably be among the legendary warships in the future!"

The big man wearing a fur vest was dumbfounded and said, "Your Excellency!!! Please forgive my presumption, but you will never be able to do this no matter what. In fact, your current manpower can barely drive a large caravel five-masted sailboat away, and it's still at the speed of those girls who are having their periods walking with their legs clamped together!"

Fang Senyan said seriously, "The road is walked step by step, and the meal is eaten one bite at a time. I know this clearly, so I need enough manpower, enough brave young men! Your name, tell me your name, big guy."

The big man wearing a fur vest was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "My name is Canby, Your Excellency, you can also call me Iron Hammer, because I was a blacksmith before I came to the sea, a blacksmith with good craftsmanship."

"Then are you willing to go with me to capture a large caravel five-masted sailboat? Or are you willing to die with me?" Fang Senyan suddenly said very seriously.

Canby was stunned for a moment: "Your Excellency!! You are really crazy!"

Fang Senyan's eyes were sharp as if he wanted to devour people: "That's because I have enough strength! And enough confidence!"

Canby stared at Fang Senyan blankly for a while, then bent his knees and half-knelt down, his forehead deeply touching the ground: "I am willing to serve you, Your Excellency!"

"Very good!" Fang Senyan pulled him up, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Those who dared to pick up weapons against me just now, do you still dare to stand up and gather together?"

As soon as this sentence was said, several pirates also showed angry expressions on their faces and strode out. Fang Senyan looked at them with an admiring look, and roared in front of them: "You have been requisitioned by me! Did you hear that! Your courage has moved me, so I kindly leave you your lives, so that you have the honor to serve me! Those who have different opinions can stand up and jump directly into the sea, is there any, is there any?"

These pirates looked at each other, but no one moved. If it was not necessary, jumping into the sea in this kind of weather was definitely not a very pleasant experience. Fang Senyan pointed to Canby and said, "He will be your boss in the future! You must learn to obey his orders, just like obeying my orders! As for those soft eggs who don't even have the courage to pick up weapons, that is, your subordinates, if anyone has objections to my orders or feels unable to accept them, stand up, I will give you ten seconds to ask questions!"

A skinny pirate with a long neck timidly raised his hand, and Fang Senyan raised his chin. The pirate said timidly: "Sir, if I have not misunderstood, then your meaning is that you want us to join the Flying Dutchman?"

Fang Senyan said coldly: "That ship is now full of semi-human and semi-spiritual monsters, if you are willing to go up, I can issue a certificate and a letter of introduction for you."

The people next to him let out a suppressed burst of laughter, and the skinny pirate shrugged his shoulders and said: "But I think you and us are no different, well I'm just referring to the appearance."

Fang Senyan said lightly: "There are always exceptions, aren't there? I want to clearly tell you now that I plan to be a captain myself, so you have to serve me in the following time, of course I will also pay you enough remuneration, I promise that these rewards will be twice as much as One-Eyed Hogg gives you!"

The skinny pirate heard this and nodded: "Understood, I am very honored to be your subordinate, I have no problems."

Fang Senyan waited again, and seeing that the men of One-Eyed Hogg were not only not depressed, but were also whispering to each other, with excitement on their faces, he knew that he had bet correctly. The sea was originally a world where the weak were prey to the strong, and he directly suppressed them with strength, and these guys who had become accustomed to pursuing the strong would naturally steer with the wind.

The most important thing is that most of these pirates are at the bottom, and their loyalty to the top is not enough. For example, if you randomly find a grassroots employee of Foxconn and give him a salary of five thousand yuan a month, he will definitely immediately abandon Taiwan's richest man Guo Taiming's company and leave with you. Fang Senyan clapped his hands and issued his first order: "Okay, gather together, everyone go to the British's beautiful three-masted sailboat, you better also change into these ugly red and white clothes of the British, I want to see this ship start up in five minutes! What, you ask me how to deal with these British? Wait, don't kill them, I have better arrangements for these arrogant idiots, everyone strip them of their clothes and drive them to the cargo hold!"
