Chapter 648: The Rise of One Piece
Gulf of Aden, an unnamed sea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Just when the coalition forces ransacked Sirius Island, the [Sirius Pirate Regiment] that fled the battlefield in embarrassment also ushered in a drastic change.
Before the war, the [Sirius Pirate Regiment] had more than 25,000 people and more than 150 large and small ships. After a great battle, the pirate group not only lost its nest, but also the fleet was almost crippled.
To add insult to injury, their regimental commander, Efuya, was also killed in the battle.
The entire pirate group was suddenly leaderless.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the remnants of the pirate regiment scattered and fled finally converged, and according to statistics, less than 6,000 people survived, and only about 20 warships remained.
He was accompanied by Farah and more than 600 members of the [Cheetah Mercenary Group].
Upon learning of the death of the regimental leader Efuya, internal strife immediately broke out within the pirate group, and the five leaders fought for the throne of the regimental leader, and no one obeyed anyone, and even did not hesitate to fight, which was about to turn into a bloody conflict.
For the already crumbling pirate group, it was even worse.
As the saying goes, an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.
Even if the Sirius Pirates suffer heavy losses, they are still a pirate force to be reckoned with in the Gulf of Aden. Don't forget, the other two pirate bands also suffered heavy losses in this battle.
The balance of power of the three major pirate groups in the Gulf of Aden has not been broken.
It is precisely for this reason that the throne of the head of the regiment is very tempting for the leaders.
At this moment, Farah, a maritime legend destined to shine in the Gulf of Aden, stepped forward at the right time and started the most brilliant journey of One Piece in his life.
For Farah, there are many complaints within the pirate group. It was the inaction of the [Cheetah Mercenary Group] at the critical moment that led to the reversal of the entire battle.
Previously, the five leaders had no time to take care of Farah and his party in order to compete for the throne of the regiment. Now that Farah has taken the initiative to stand up, isn't he killing himself?!
Not really.
Farah was a man of great fortune and was particularly fond of using intrigues. Being able to work closely with the three pirate groups, especially the Sirius Pirates, how could Farah not have hole cards?
Otherwise, the [Sirius Pirates] would have thrown them into the sea to feed the fish on the way to escape.
Why did Farah betray, not to mention Ouyang Shuo, even Somali players are puzzled.
As the leader of the largest guild in Somalia and the number one master in the country, it stands to reason that Farah is already famous, why would he take risks and collude with pirates to try to kill his own players?
The root of this lies in the fact that the pirate group can bring him great benefits.
As early as the second year of Gaia, by chance, Farah colluded with the Sirius Pirate Group, one in the light and the other in the dark, and cooperated with each other.
Farah used the huge influence of the [Cheetah Mercenary Group] in China to collect relevant information such as the navigation routes of domestic merchant ships, and then passed it on to the Sirius Pirate Group, which took over the merchant ships.
The wealth obtained by plundering is divided into three or seven points, which is naturally a win-win situation.
In just one year, it brought Farah a huge income of 150,000 gold coins.
At the same time, Farah was also an ambitious man, extremely greedy and with a great appetite.
A year later, just cooperating with the pirate group and earning that thirty percent of the profits was no longer enough to satisfy Farah's appetite. Completely controlling the pirate group and making it a secret branch of the [Cheetah Mercenary Group], and monopolizing the looted wealth is the real goal of Farah.
Farah began to use the looted wealth to consciously cultivate cronies within the pirate group. At the beginning of the third year of Gaia, Farah was appointed as the second leader by the regimental commander Efuya.
This unexpected appointment is the result of a secret push by Farah's cronies. It can be seen that Farah's roots in the pirate group are so deep that they are a faint threat to Efuya's rule.
Sensing this, Efuya was about to make a move, when Farah alertly delivered a tempting cake: uniting the three pirate groups, setting up an ambush and defeating the Somali coastal division in one fell swoop.
The Somali sailors have always been the biggest obstacle to pirate groups plundering merchant ships.
Being able to remove this thorn in the side in one fell swoop, the three pirate groups simply couldn't resist such a temptation. The two sides naturally hit it off, which is why there is a story that happened before.
The only variable, estimated, is the "untimely" appearance of the ocean-going fleet in Somalia. Otherwise, the tragedy of the former Somali national sailors will surely be repeated again.
That's why Farah has set a series of traps in the port of Berbera in order to eliminate this variable and get things back on track.
At the same time, the emergence of the ocean-going fleet made Farah have other thoughts. I have to say that most of the people with inflated ambitions can't control their desires.
After discovering that he was suspicious of the leader Efuya, Farah has been thinking about how to get rid of Efuya, and then set up a puppet leader within the pirate group to completely control the pirate group.
The emergence of the ocean-going fleet is an opportunity.
Farah's plan was to use the ocean-going fleet to inflict a heavy blow on the pirate group, and he was taking this opportunity to take advantage of the situation to control the pirate group and kill two birds with one stone.
It's a pity that Farah has never heard an ancient adage: soldiers are still in flames, and they don't burn themselves.
Farah overestimated his ability to play with fire, and also underestimated the power of the "fire" of the ocean-going fleet, and in the end not only did not use the fire, but was burned by the fire.
The lesson is not profound.
Fortunately, the sky does not destroy Farah, giving him a glimmer of life in a desperate situation. The death of the leader of the group, Efuya, and the fall of the Sirius Pirates into civil strife, are giving Farah a chance to rise again.
He was keenly aware that the opportunity to completely control the pirate group had quietly arrived.
Although the leaders have a lot of criticism about Farah, Farah is the second leader of the regiment after all, and he is the number two person worthy of the name. After the death of the regimental commander, Farah's position became even more important.
"If you can win the support of the second leader, the throne of the head of the regiment will be stable." So thought the leaders.
In the eyes of the pirate leader, Farah is an alien who will eventually go ashore, and it is impossible to compete with them for the throne of the captain. In this way, there will be the above naïve thoughts.
They didn't know that Farah couldn't go back at all.
The foundation of the [Cheetah Mercenary Group] in Somalia has been uprooted by the major guilds, and even the headquarters has been occupied. If Farah dares to go ashore, he is afraid that he will be beaten to death by Somali players.
The "traitor Farah" has been permanently nailed to the pillar of shame in Somali history.
This is exactly what it is: if you are not careful, you will lose the whole game.
……
After Farah came forward to mediate, the five leaders stopped fighting and finally resolved the infighting. In the evening, Farah warmly invited the five leaders to the ship to discuss the future of the pirate group.
With a different mind, at seven o'clock in the evening, the five leaders went to the banquet on time.
As the mysterious second leader of the pirate group, Farah owns a pirate ship alone, and in addition to the sailors, the others on board are the 600 members of the [Cheetah Mercenary Group].
Through the forum, they learned about the tragic experience of their colleagues who were still in China, and they were all depressed. Inevitably, there were even complaints about the head of the regiment, Farah.
It was Farah's decision that dragged them into the abyss completely.
It's just that now Farah is their only reliance. Only by continuing to follow the regiment commander can they find a way to live. Going back can only be a dead end.
This shows how clever Farah is.
"The weak are naturally submissive and inert, and as long as they are not cornered and given a glimmer of hope, they will be at the mercy of the strong." This is Farah's life motto.
On the battlefield, under such circumstances, the members of the [Cheetah Mercenary Group] can obey the command of his regiment leader and resolutely betray, which is enough to show the high prestige of Farah in the mercenary group.
Not to mention anything else, at least in the area of buying people's hearts, Farah deserves the praise of the world.
Just before dinner, the head of the regiment once again gave them guidance and sent them hope. After listening to the regiment leader's plan, the squad leaders' eyes were hot and their fighting spirit was rekindled.
"It's done!"
……
In the cabin, Farah and the five leaders staggered, so lively. When the wine is hot, the shadow of defeat during the day seems to have begun to disappear with the drunkenness that has surged into my heart.
Exactly: there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad tomorrow.
The leaders didn't know that this was a complete Hongmen feast.
Farah didn't know the allusion [Hongmen Banquet], but as a natural conspirator, it did not prevent him from realizing a similar method on his own.
After three rounds of drinking, I saw Farah suddenly slam his wine glass, "Bang! "A very harsh sound.
"Huh?"
The five leaders, who were already a little drunk, somehow saw a sudden rush of more than twenty assassins armed with sharp blades in the cabin, and without saying a word, attacked them.
The cold light is shining, and the murderous aura is awe-inspiring.
At this moment, the drunkenness of the leaders completely dissipated, and they broke out in a cold sweat. I was about to pick up the blade and fight back, but it was too late.
In less than five minutes, between the calcium carbide sparks, none of the five pirate leaders were spared, and they were hacked to death by the player with a random knife and killed on the spot.
In this way, the pirate group is truly leaderless.
When the leader is killed, the pirates are in an uproar, shouting for revenge for their leader.
At the moment, it is about to turn into a scuffle.
At this moment, Farah's cronies cultivated in the pirate group finally came into play. They immediately intervened, subduing the fiercest companions, while shouting that the second leader would succeed him as the head of the regiment.
"In this time of crisis, only the two leaders can lead us out of this predicament." So said the cronies.
When the pirates saw this, they didn't feel depressed. They looked around, but there was no hope of turning the tables. In this way, we can only succumb to reality. In the fundamental sense, pirates are not a group of righteous people.
In this way, Farah successfully ascended to the throne of the head of the regiment and started his career as One Piece.
