after waking up.

Chapter 246 A Principled Pirate

In less than 10 minutes, all the battles came to an end. Most of the sailors on the merchant fleet were killed, and some were captured and surrendered voluntarily. Few people survived.

However, in the middle of the deck of the Sky Star, surrounded by dead bodies and pirates, the struggle did not seem to be completely over.

"Hoah."

Mulan growled in a low voice, four or five pirates couldn't hold him down, he stood up little by little, the knives on his neck and body had already cut his skin.

"Be honest with me, do you want to die?" "Press him—"

Fists and feet kept falling on Mu Lan's body, and another gun butt hit him hard on the cheek, and then the pirates on the side worked together to finally press down the fierce sailor again.

Two gun butts kept hitting Mulan's legs, and this time eight or nine people came together to press him down on the deck.

"Ho, ho, ho, ho" "Ah-"

A roar broke out from Mulan's mouth, and the nine pirates used their knees and hands again, feeling that what they were holding was not a person at all, but a ferocious beast.

The other captive sailors were also taken aboard the largest ironclad steamer.

All four pirate captains arrived on the Skystar, why there were only four, because one of them was killed by Mulan.

The pirate leader flicked the blood-stained blade, glanced at the dozen or so quiet sailors over there, and then looked at Mu Lan who was still struggling with admiration. Mullan's cheek.

"Deerga's retired imperial army?"

"So what?"

The pirate captain smiled. Others were begging for mercy, but this man actually showed a fierce look.

"Why? At this time, you still don't intend to beg for mercy?"

Mulan spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"Begging the pirates for mercy, will you let me go? You might as well die with dignity if you know it's death!"

The pirate captain swept over Mu Lan's suppressed body, not to mention the twisted right wrist, and his body was covered with scars, but it still took many pirates to suppress him.

"Hey, people like you should be very popular in the Dierga Empire army, but you actually went to sea to be a sailor?"

Mu Lan, who had been struggling all this time, suddenly became silent for a moment, clenched his teeth tightly and made a toothache "creak" sound.

"The upper echelons of the Imperial Army are also a bunch of bastards. They treat us as scapegoats and withhold our pensions, ho, ah—"

"Press and hold him!" "Hurry up and push hard!"

The pirates sensed that the people below were about to get up, so they hurriedly exerted their strength together, and the twisted right hand was actually supported on the ground, and was kicked by a pirate, which made Mu Lan lose his support and vent his strength , was pushed back to the ground again.

The pirate captain's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have lightly patted Mu Lan's cheek with the blade, but there was a huge shock force, and he took advantage of the momentum and relaxed his body, as if his whole body had softened.

The pirate captain knelt down, pinched Mu Lan's cheek with his hands, and looked him straight in the eyes.

"Come to be a pirate? As long as you are strong enough, you will have dignity, women, and treasures. You have talent and are a born warrior. It would be a pity to die here."

"I will not submit to you, the villain who sneaked up on me!"

Mu Lan still gritted his teeth, his eyes revealed fierceness.

"Oh?"

The pirate narrowed his eyes and raised the blade slightly.

"Then go to die."

Shua~ The knife light swung directly at Mulan's cheek, causing Mulan to close his eyes, but the blade stopped three centimeters away from his eyes.

The art of language, the grasp of the heart, Mu Lan can also handle the pirate's psychology without using extraordinary power, because every step is induced by him, and every step is temporarily adjusted according to the pirate's words and emotional changes.

Mu Lan slowly opened his eyes, and a look of the rest of his life flashed across his face, proving that although he was not afraid of death, he did not really have no fear of death. He looked up at the pirate leader, who showed a smile on his face.

"Well, I'll give you a fair duel."

A few minutes later, on the deck of the Sky Star that had been simply cleaned up, the pirates formed a circle, with the pirate leader and Mulan who had been released in the middle.

Mu Lan was holding his own knife at this moment, while the pirate leader was standing opposite, with his right hand behind his back, and the left hand also held the knife.

"It seems that not all pirates are as seedless as the rumors say. In this case, I also remind you that although I can't move my right hand, you are taking advantage of me by using your left hand like me, because I am actually left-handed."

Mu Lan held the handle of the knife and shook the blade lightly.

"Oh, don't worry, after all, you have a lot of injuries, but what if you lose?"

"I won't lose, ten pirates are not my opponent!"

After Mulan said this, he was already the first to move, because he saw the pirates actually playing tricks, which was a flaw.

In the perception of outsiders, the sailor suddenly broke out and rushed straight to the pirate leader. His knife was hidden by his side. The moment he approached the pirate, he swung the knife from bottom to top with a heavy force.

"Hoo-"

"When~"

The knife was easily blocked, and the pirate leader directly stabbed with the knife. After being dodged by Mulan, he swung the blade and slashed at the neck.

"Dang~" "Dang~" "Dang~".
Three times in a row, all of them were blocked by the pirate leader, who didn't even move his body.

Mulan had already stepped back a few steps, the blade was panting violently, his left hand and the blade were trembling slightly.

The pirate captain kept smiling.

"It has great strength, good sword skills, and excellent judgment, but it doesn't work for me."

In fact, the pirate captain was a little surprised in his heart at this moment, knowing that he might be inferior in terms of skill alone, and he was completely relying on crushing the opponent's perception and strength.

Mulan gasped for a while, then threw the sea soul on the deck.

"I can't beat you, I lost, your strength is much stronger than mine, my life is yours"

The pirate captain's smile became even brighter. Although many people died, ordinary people can be replenished at any time, but unexpected talents are rare.

"I said, I won't kill you. You have to keep your promise and come to be a pirate. My name is Ruskin. You can call me the leader. What's your name?"

Mu Lan raised his head, made a fist with his slightly twisted right hand, and placed it gently on his chest.

"Vincent, my name is Vincent, the leader."

"Hahahahahahaha, very good, very good!"

The pirate chief shouted to all who were watching the duel.

"You bastards, have you heard it—now find out all the valuables on the ship, except for special treasures and goods, whoever finds the rest of the money will get it—"

The pirates erupted in excited cheers.

Beside Mulan, the pirates who had just controlled him were a little uneasy. Obviously, the leader valued this newcomer very much. The key point is that this guy is too strong, and he doesn't know whether he will hold grudges or not.
Seeing Mu Lan holding his right hand, standing there in a daze, an old pirate who had just controlled him tried to take two steps closer.

"If the wrist is not treated, it will be easily disabled. Let me help you take a look."

Mu Lan glanced at him, hesitated and stretched out his hand.

"crack la la"

"Uh."

"Okay, don't tie it up for a while, it will be fine soon."

Mulan looked at his wrist, which was at least in normal shape, and murmured a "thank you," which made the surrounding pirates laugh.

To be honest, maybe except for the dead pirates, everyone else is very happy. There are also some property on board, and these ships are full of valuable spices.

Not to mention the six large ships that were snatched this time, one of which was a steam ironclad steamer, the value of the ship was already immeasurable, and the Tianxing directly became the flagship of the pirate leader.

The captured sailors were all voluntary or forced to become pirates. They were mainly responsible for starting the Sky Star. After sailing for several days, the eleven ships slowly arrived at a small island, which was the base of the pirates.

The Skystar and other ships were converted here by pirates, and more cannons were needed on board.

The pirate leader obviously took him very seriously, and he took him everywhere in the past few days. At this moment, they were shuttling through the busy port. Although this is a pirate's territory, the port is very lively with people coming and going.

Some goods stolen by pirates will also be sold in similar ports, and some people here can sell goods all over the world.

Mu Lan has been observing everything around him with curiosity, observing the "pirate ecology" in the deep sea. They sold almost all the goods at half price, and the money they earned was at least tens of thousands of gold dirga coins.

"Hahahaha, a lot of money, Vincent, take you to have fun!"

"For Vincent, let's go, let's have a drink and have a good time!"

Ruskin patted Mu Lan on the shoulder, and several pirates around shouted loudly, and rushed to a popular pirate tavern together.

As soon as you enter the door, it gives people a feeling of smog inside, but after staying for a while, you can feel the extremely warm atmosphere, the strongest wine, rich food, people playing musical instruments in rhythm, and everywhere. twisting woman.

Several pirates had already put their arms around the woman, and even Ruskin grabbed a girl and kneaded her a few times, and then pushed her away amidst the other party's yelling, and only Mu Lan was not drinking.

"What? Don't like it?"

Raskin raised his head and drank his glass of wine, and looked at Mulan with a smile. This sailor who had just become a pirate was obviously reserved, but he did have great potential, and he was a man who kept his promise. Being his subordinate would be loyal.

"It's just some, I'm not used to it."

A pirate nearby laughed.

"Hahahaha, Vincent, as long as you get comfortable a few times, you will get used to it!"

"Yes, yes, let us help you find a stunner!"

Several pirates laughed, Mu Lan raised his right hand, looked at the women around him with undisguised disgust, and said perfunctorily.

"I'm inconvenient."

To be honest, the smell of that bad perfume made Mulan even want to sneeze.

"Hahahahaha, Vincent! Look at how attractive you are, they are all in love with you, it hurts so much for you to say that!"

Ruskin patted Mulan on the shoulder with a smile, then approached Mulan and whispered.

"Actually, I don't like it either. As long as you have money, treasures, and even a beautiful sea banshee can spend a good night with you, that taste will definitely make you completely depraved, hehehehehe"

Mu Lan immediately showed a trace of nervousness.

"No, no, they will eat me!"

"Hahahaha"

The pirates around laughed and staggered, and some people kept patting the bar counter.

Mu Lan hurriedly raised his head to drink, but his lips were not just for pouring in the drink. You see, it is not difficult to integrate into the pirates, and it does not necessarily need to be exactly the same as them.
