Chapter 984 Contradictory People
That kind of smile irritated Ou Cardi.
"Since it's low-key, why did you attack the town? Didn't the navy notice us?"
That kind of yin and yang argument is something that ordinary people think is wrong.
"Well, I didn't decide this. Although I am the captain, I can't control the will of my subordinates. People's will is free, and we can't control it. We are a group of pirates gathered for free will. What everyone does is their personal freedom, but the Longsword Pirates will not go out collectively, it needs to pass more than half of the votes, and I, the captain, can decide."
Franz laughed: "You will understand after a while."
O'Cardy didn't understand, and didn't want to understand, if he hadn't been an undercover agent with his own mission and needed to monitor the movements of the Longsword Pirates, he would have wanted to kill the captain now.
But as the time here grew longer, he also understood that it was useless to kill the captain. Once the captain died, a new captain would be elected. As long as more than half of them agreed, that person would be the new captain.
The 'handle' and the 'body of the sword' are one. Only the 'body of the sword' has the meaning of the existence of the 'handle of the sword', and only the 'handle of the sword' can swing the 'body of the sword'.
Then, he discovered that, as Franz said, the pirates who looted the town were really just a few individuals, occupying only a small part of the ten thousand pirate group, and most of the pirates were just Live their lives in this archipelago, just like an ordinary person.
When O. Cardy couldn't help being curious and asked why he was a pirate who made his living by fishing more like a fisherman than a pirate, the answer he gave was that the kingdom he belonged to exploited. Too ruthless, I can only go to sea as a pirate.
The other pirates had different reasons. Some felt that the local kingdom army was too bullying and couldn’t help resisting. Some were attacked by pirates and then killed the pirates, but were forced to escape by the officials who colluded with the pirates.
There are many reasons, but it is always one, that I cannot survive.
This is a pirate group made up of members who can't survive, and it has existed for a hundred years.
Of course, there are also pirates who are purely plundering, but after they join the Longsword Pirates, they either quit and start a new business, or the looted materials are used to share with these people.
They are also living, no different from civilians, the only difference is that they don't have the protection of the navy, but they don't have heavy taxes and oppression, they are free.
As for Franz, rather than being the captain, he is the mediator of more than 10,000 people. Who has conflicts with whom, who is sick, and who has troubles, all are resolved by him.
With his hearty smile, he solved it easily and peacefully.
This pirate group does not accept family members, only those down-and-out pirates, they collectively support and do things collectively, and when someone leaves, no one stops them, but celebrates it.
After seeing all this, O. Cardy finally couldn't bear the question and asked.
"Kady, we don't actually have such big ambitions. This pirate group has existed for more than a hundred years, and it has always acted collectively. Whatever they want, the Longsword Pirates will do. They have to take it seriously. Pirates, we are the real pirates, they want peace, so we will be peace."
On that day, Franz stood on the edge of the island, pointed to the sea and said to O Cardi:
"Once they find their goal, they can leave automatically. Before they find their goal, then we are their safe haven. Just wait until they find their goal. Whether it is good or bad, that is their own choice."
Franz showed a hearty smile: "The tradition of the Long Sword Pirates is the knight's long sword, which protects people until they don't need them!"
On that day, the sun shone brightly on Franz's smiling face, and he also stared at O'Cardy dumbfounded.
This is another form of justice, although it ignores the laws of the world government, but it is also justice...
From that day on, O Cardi restrained his hatred, observed the Longsword Pirates carefully, and gradually integrated into the Longsword Pirates.
His information will still be sent out, but he will also participate in the actions of the Longsword Pirates.
Gradually, his status is getting higher and higher, and he will take the initiative to share the skills in the navy to improve the strength of the pirates, and this will also make his reputation more and more important.
Seeing the happy smiles of those people who were able to fish and hunt faster because of the newly learned physical skills, O Cardi laughed too.
He will also let those plundering pirates not hurt people's lives, as long as supplies are enough.
With the joining of him, a fallen navy captain, the Longsword Pirates lived better than before, and it was more in line with the justice in their hearts.
should we go...
This place, let it go on like this, they are a group of people who want to live free.
until Franz's death.
Yes, Franz died of overwork and a heart attack.
When he found out about this, O. Cardy stood there for a while.
The captain is dead, but the Longsword Pirates still exist and will always exist.
Facing everyone's ardent expectations, Ou Kadi picked up the long sword, but his thoughts were confused at this moment.
He's a navy, but he's... a pirate too.
He will bear the responsibility of the "hilt" of the Longsword Pirates, and as the captain, continue to maintain the tradition.
He changed his name to Robert Henry and became famous as the captain of the Longsword Pirates.
But he seemed to be overdoing it a bit.
During the time when he became the captain of the Longsword Pirates, they gradually transitioned to the navy. Every time they plundered, they would be more relaxed and have no opponents.
I don't know when, the people in the Longsword Pirates began to swell, they are not satisfied with living on this island in the South China Sea, they want more resources, they want... to establish a country!
No one in the South China Sea can stop them, they will succeed.
As the navy, O Cardi must stop this, and as Robert Henry, he cannot go against the will of the Longsword Pirates.
This is tradition, their will is there, and the Longsword Pirates are there.
"Let's go to the great route, there is our chance!"
When O. Cardy said this, all votes agreed, and the Longsword Pirates will be dispatched as a whole.
And he was ready.
As a navy, he reported the news and completed his accusation.
As a pirate, he is also ready to advance and retreat with the Longsword Pirates.
If the navy wins, then he will die as the last captain, worthy of the pirates.
If the navy loses, then he will fight against the Longsword Pirates as a captain of the headquarters, and he is worthy of the navy.
But the end result...
...
The lowered eyes were lifted up, and Ou Cardi laughed silently, "You won't understand..."
Contradictory individuals, contradictory people, who can understand.
Needless to say, the battle is!
