Chapter 169: The Hell Pirates (1)
What do you mean by powerful?
It was nothing more than having more money, more people, and more strength.
Su Mu currently only had one or two hundred dirty pirates under his command. He was not considered powerful.
Therefore, becoming the leader of this group of pirates was only a small step.
If he wanted to fulfill the first condition of becoming a powerful ghost, he had to strengthen his forces!
..
After taking over the pirate crew, Su Mu laid down three rules in front of everyone.
First, from today onwards, it will be renamed the Hell Pirates.
No one had any reaction to this.
They didn’t care what the pirate crew was called.
But the second one was scary!
Second, at the end of each month, each pirate would be assessed based on their cultivation, battle achievements, and the speed of their cultivation progress.
Those with the lowest score, the last 5% of the people, who were in the bottom 5%, were directly killed!
As soon as this rule was announced, the pirates immediately exploded. Everyone’s face was filled with fear and dissatisfaction.
Half of the number of people eliminated in a month was too scary!
In other words, for every 100 people, five would die in a month.
And five of them must die!
After Su Mu announced the second rule, a strong pirate who was blind in one eye stood up and shouted in dissatisfaction,
“What kind of bullsh * t rule is this? It’s better to just kill us! Brothers, what’s the use of having such a boss?”
The one-eyed pirate shouted loudly as if he wanted to incite the others to rebel.
Seeing this, Su Mu’s lips curled into a cold smile.
He knew this one-eyed pirate. He was Su Heihu’s right-hand man.
Cruel, brutal, and greedy!
Originally, Su Mu was too lazy to clean up Su Heihu’s old subordinates, because those people were too weak and not worth his time.
But since someone had jumped out to seek death, Su Mu could only grant his wish.
..
“Brothers, this brat must have killed Boss Su and Master Song with a sneak attack.”
“How can we, heroes, listen to a brat who is still wet behind the ears?”
“Let’s attack together and kill him…Ugh!”
The one-eyed pirate waved his hands and continued to encourage the crowd.
Under his encouragement, some pirates had already begun to stir.
However, as he spoke, he suddenly stopped and covered his throat with a face full of pain and fear.
Then, a large amount of blood flowed out of his dark fingers. He fell to the ground weakly and died!
“If anyone has any objections, you can stand up and say it.”
“I’m not a cruel person, so everything can be discussed.”
Su Mu smiled as he peeled an orange, eating it while sweeping his gaze over the pirates.
Coupled with his handsome appearance, those who didn’t know better would really think that he was some sunny youth.
The pirates looked at the one-eyed pirate’s neck and realized that there was an orange peel stuck there!
The orange peel was deeply embedded in his flesh, torn blood vessels, and throat!
This caused their slightly restless hearts to instantly cool down, and each of them was as quiet as cicadas in winter.
They didn’t even dare to move, let alone stand out and give their opinions.
Flying flowers and plucking leaves could also kill people, and the speed of his attack was so fast that no one could see it clearly!
Such strength, how could this group of people resist?
Su Mu revealed a small hand, causing everyone to be incomparably terrified, no longer having any thoughts of resisting.
This world was like that.
In the face of absolute strength, everything was illusory.
Even if it was such a cruel elimination system, Su Mu could still execute it if he wanted to.
Who dared to say no?
..
“Alright, since no one has any objections, I will announce the last rule.”
“The third rule is very simple.”
“Report a person who attempted to escape, and you won’t have to participate in the assessment for a month.”
“If you catch a person who tried to escape, you won’t be participating in the assessment for three months.”
Su Mu smiled as he said the last rule, but it caused all the pirates ‘hearts to turn cold!
Especially those who had just thought of escaping, they felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles. Everyone around them seemed to be staring at them in the dark!
Once the third rule was announced, these pirates were suspicious of each other and supervised each other. They could not escape even if they wanted to!
Su Mu took in their expressions and sneered:
“Beasts, are you ready for a new life?”
“I believe you will enjoy the rest of your lives.”
“Now, set sail!”
Under Su Mu’s orders, the tattered warship slowly sailed towards the sea.
A new journey had begun!
※※※※※※
Under Su Mu’s leadership, this group of pirates completely changed their style.
It was different from those under Li Yaqin and Su Heihu’s leadership.
The Hell Pirates were extremely aggressive, aggressive, and motivated.
This was because the pirates ‘fundamental goal had changed.
Whether it was Li Yaqin or Su Heihu, when they were leaders, the pirates ‘goal was nothing more than money and pleasure.
Li Yaqin was a little more far-sighted. She felt that the pirate crew could only last for a long time if they grew stronger.
However, his goal remained the same.
However, under Su Mu’s leadership, the pirates ‘goal had completely changed.
What money? What pleasure?
Could it be more important than his own life?
Under the final elimination system with death as the punishment, every pirate only had one thought-to become stronger and make contributions!
This was the only way to survive.
..
In a short two years, Su Mu had led the Hell Pirates on expeditions.
They had continuously plundered merchant ships, defeated dozens of pirates in the nearby waters, and subdued a large number of subordinates.
Moreover, it had the tendency to monopolize the ” looting business ” in this sea area.
As a result, even with the elimination system, the Hell Pirates had grown to more than a thousand people and ten warships.
His influence was rapidly expanding!
Moreover, under the cruel elimination process, these 1,300 people were far stronger than ordinary pirates in terms of strength and fighting will.
His combat power was extremely strong!
In the past two years, the reputation of the Hell Pirates had spread throughout the nearby seas.
The few small island countries and the merchant ships that frequently traveled here all knew that there was an extremely powerful group of pirates here!
Fortunately, although these pirates were strong, they were not that cruel and would not kill people recklessly.
They seemed to be more keen on increasing their strength, unlike ordinary pirates.
The strangest thing was that the leader of the Hell Pirates was a handsome young man.
When the news first spread, no one believed it.
There were so many brutal and violent pirates. Would Qi listen to the orders of a young man and serve him as their master?
It wasn’t until later, when more and more people had seen Su Mu, that the others finally confirmed the authenticity of this news.
Many people were curious about what ability Su Mu had to be able to control so many vicious pirates.
However, as time passed, the number of times Su Mu personally appeared became less and less.
His fearsome might in the Hell Pirates overshadowed everything else. Even if he didn’t show his face, he could still make the pirates under him obey him obediently.
..
On this day, Su Mu stood at the bow of the ship, his eyes narrowed as if he was thinking about something.
A moment later, he said to Luo Wu behind him,”
“Uncle Luo, something will happen in the dough later… It’s a very terrifying thing.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to leave?”
In these two years, Su Mu’s body had grown rapidly under the effect of the Stellar Energy, and his body was already not much different from an adult’s.
More importantly, with the rise of the Hell Pirates, he felt that he could be considered powerful.
In addition, recently, the two forces, Mountain Guardian King and Fu Sang Country, seemed to have their eyes on Su Mu.
He did not have much time left!
Therefore, Su Mu decided to find a suitable opportunity in the near future to try to transform into a power ghost.
Once he succeeded, he would use Hex City to turn all the pirates under him into demons and subdue them.
This way, he could become a Ghost King!
..
In other words, the pirates under Su Mu’s command would most likely meet their demise.
It was fine if those damned scum died, but Su Mu didn’t care.
However, Luo Wu and the twenty over people who had originally joined his side, Su Mu didn’t want them to meet such an end.
So a few days ago, Su Mu had advised them to leave and would give them a large sum of money as a dismissal fee.
More than half of the twenty people chose to leave.
However, there were still five or six people left. No matter how much Su Mu persuaded them, they were unwilling to leave.
This included Luo Wu.
After hearing Su Mu’s words, Luo Wu smiled and said:
“I’m used to staying at sea. No matter what happens, I don’t want to leave.”
“Even if it means death?”
Su Mu immediately asked.
Luo Wu’s expression was solemn as he said seriously,”
“Even if I die, I will die on the ship. At the very least, I will die in the sea.”
“I have no choice. I have a cheap life.”
At the end, Luo Wu laughed, and he was a little free and easy.
Seeing this, Su Mu nodded slightly and said no more.
Luo Wu might not know what he was about to face.
After Hex City was activated, he would give them another chance…
..
“Enemy ship discovered! It’s the Takeda family’s warship!”
Just as he was thinking, a loud shout suddenly came from the patrolling warship ahead.
Su Mu raised his head and looked over. Sure enough, he saw more than a dozen warships flying the flag of the Takeda clan, surrounding them from all directions!
