The Final Evolutionary Quest! The Origin of the Black Pearl! Chapter 77 Black Iron Title: Pirate Captain
Although large-scale recruitment (poaching) may cause resentment among those who are still loyal to the Xiwale Pirate Group, this kind of thing is not difficult for Fang Senyan. He came to Triangle Island with this situation in mind. Fang Senyan, who came from the future, is of course well versed in marketing strategies. He immediately ordered a vacant area on the dock and pulled out a banner with the words "Free Drinking of Gold Rum."
For these pirates who are in urgent need of alcohol comfort after the defeat and are penniless, the unprecedented sentence on this banner undoubtedly aroused their curiosity in their stomachs, and of course, their greed.
Here we must also praise the Gypsies for their good logistics work. After Fang Senyan and his team captured the Dingyuan, they found a large amount of supplies in the bottom cabin of the ship: at least enough food for a thousand people for half a year, hundreds of barrels of high-end rum, etc., so the party held by Fang Senyan at this time can be said to be all spent on the collection of the Queen of Festivals. Once the barrels were opened, the rich aroma of rum floating everywhere became a disguised advertising slogan.
When a pirate enters the party, he will first get a large glass of free ordinary rum, and then he will find that he has the opportunity to get more and better drinks, and the way is to show his ability in shooting and close combat. Of course, the requirement for close combat ability is very demanding, and it is estimated that at least he must reach the level of Philip or Black Sail.
If the ability shown by this pirate can be shortlisted, then he can get a glass of gold rum. Then, if he is still interested, he needs to compete with others for the job, and finally get a bonus of 100 pounds and an invitation to work on the ship.
Under such an elimination system, Fang Senyan easily recruited enough excellent gunners. To his surprise, the red beard who had been stripped naked and hung on the mast also passed the assessment smoothly. This guy's ship was unfortunately sunk. The reason for the sinking was that the ship's guns were too accurate, so he became the first bird to be fired. Then, his confidants were all killed or injured, and he had no choice but to apply for a job with a thick face.
Sheyan personally tested him and found that Red Beard was indeed very talented in bombardment. His data showed that he actually possessed the ability of master-level bombardment, which could increase the ability of all the bombardiers under his command by lv1. This kind of team ability was undoubtedly very rare. It seemed that he was worthy of being the captain of the West Waller Pirate Group.
Sheyan comforted Red Beard for a few words, then exchanged a dark blue rapier looted by the captain with Philip, took the magnet ring on Philip's hand, and gave it to Red Beard.
In addition, the old sea dog also recommended a very special talent to Sheyan. This person was called Nanuk, a very rare Eskimo. He was about 40 years old, with well-developed muscles in his arms and a deep irregular scar on his face. The tattoo on his arm was very ferocious. Looking closely, it turned out to be a huge blue whale.
Nanuk was very good at dealing with legendary creatures in the sea. He knew the habits of many legendary creatures and tried to hunt them. Although his actions often ended in failure, being able to plot against a legendary creature and survive was a very remarkable thing.
This man also has a very prominent name among pirates: the Nightmare of Legend! After some consideration, Fang Senyan realized that Nanook was indeed the best choice to control the Greenland Weapon. Under his control, the effective range of this powerful harpoon cannon can even exceed one kilometer, which is undoubtedly close to the effective range of ordinary artillery.
Less than an hour later, Fang Senyan received a prompt:
"Your reputation among all pirates has reached worship."
"You own a ship with a displacement of more than 7,000 tons."
"The number of plot pirates under your direct command exceeds 300."
"Milestone: Pirate Captain Completed."
"You have obtained the Black Iron-level title: Pirate Captain!"
"You have obtained the title: Pirate Captain, your deterrence against ordinary pirates is increased by 200%, the officers on your ship have a 100% deterrence against ordinary pirates, and your underwater breathing time is extended by 15 minutes.
"When you are on the sea, you can effectively increase the attack power/defense power/movement speed of friendly forces within one kilometer by 25%! (Including ships, this effect does not stack with other pirate captain effects).
"You have obtained the passive ability: Plundering Permit. When you successfully capture/kill other ships and enemies at sea, you also gain a special ability with a certain chance to view and obtain the above precious special parts/precious special materials/precious special equipment related to naval warfare."
"Description: Plundering Permit can increase your discovery rate by an additional 33% and improve the quality of the found items by 33%."
"Hint: You can upgrade this ability to: British Royal Plundering Permit by donating to the Queen of England."
"Hint: After you have (note that it is owned, not equipped) this title, your vigorous ambition will be revealed, and it will be difficult for you to join other pirate forces."
Although Fang Senyan's Dingyuan had only five masts at this time, its unique shape and huge size far exceeded the other five-masted ships. So although the quota of 300 sailors had been recruited, there was still room for at least 200 people.
Fang Senyan did not intend to recruit the maximum of 500 people at this time, but only planned to leave a quota of 50 more people. These 50 people must be talented and capable. For example, there was an old man who was blind in both eyes, but he could accurately smell whether there were legendary creatures such as mermaids within dozens of miles nearby.
There was a pirate who was very burly and tall, with a messy beard on his face, but he was good at using needles. Well, please don't get me wrong, he was very good at mending sails with needles. Not only was it very fast to mend, but it was no different from the original sails.
There was another pirate who was very skinny, and it seemed that even the wind could blow him down. This person was good at raising and fishing. He raised live livestock on the ship. Through his planning and careful calculation along the way, fishing and supply, he could at least extend the ship's range by 30%.
In addition to the gunners, Sheyan also recruited rowers with strong bodies and long arms. These people can effectively speed up the ship when sailing, and once they enter the boarding, they need to hold spears and hatchets to throw.
Sheyan's current imaginary enemy is the undead crew on the Black Pearl. Even if their limbs are cut off, they can continue to fight by healing quickly. When fighting against such monsters, you must naturally try to avoid hand-to-hand combat. It may not be useful to stab him ten times. If he stabs you, you will immediately lose your combat effectiveness. Therefore, you can mainly use long-range attack methods.
Fortunately, almost all those who can come to Triangle Island at this time are the elites of the West Waler Pirate Group! And Sheyan has to select the best among these elites, so the quality of his crew can be imagined.
After recruiting enough crew members, Sheyan ordered the ship to sail more than ten nautical miles, and then summoned all the pirates to the deck. Let the men move out the bodies of the gypsy guards who were slaughtered when attacking the ship before, and plunder them one by one in full view of the public!
At this time, after Fang Senyan had the plundering license, not only was his actual strength greatly improved, but he also looked very attractive. He pressed his hand on the corpse, and he could see a bright light. The power of the original owner of the corpse could be clearly seen being extracted and condensed on a certain piece of equipment, and then turned decay into magic.
Seeing this scene, the old pirates below were overjoyed. They knew that although following Dongfang Sailor Yan was dangerous, the rewards and punishments were clear, and the gold pounds were also scattered in large quantities. Seeing that this was the time to reap the benefits, they saw one by one being called by name, and went up in turn to receive the power bestowed by Fang Senyan. Some of the particularly extroverted ones were extremely happy and couldn't help laughing.
The new pirates naturally had hope when they saw this scene, because they also knew the details of those old people who followed Fang Senyan very well, and they couldn't help but think: With this guy's weak strength, he can get such a generous reward. If it were me, wouldn't I be able to get more if I worked harder? From then on, I was devoted to him.
Sheyan distributed the looted equipment to the old men who had fought hard and made meritorious contributions. On the one hand, he wanted to make up for the gap between them and the new pirates. On the other hand, he wanted to unite the people and let the new guys know the benefits of fighting hard.
In addition, Dingyuan was originally the flagship of Jiejie, and there were many sophisticated equipment stored in it. After being armed, the strength of Fang Sheyan's old subordinates also soared, almost on par with the previous Gypsy Steel Guards.
During this period, Jiao Shi also considered whether Ammand would come here to recruit his men, and the issue of the two sides fighting each other when they met. Fang Sheyan denied this possibility, because Ammand's subordinates were all Islamic pirates. This approach undoubtedly had strong centripetal force and cohesion, but the purity of faith did not allow fighting side by side with pagans. For example, the previous Viking Ammand could not be effectively used, so there were pros and cons, and in fact, it also cut off the possibility of pirates of other faiths joining. ro! .
