Chapter 915 8 Pirates
In the dark night, eight high-speed boats on the sea surrounded the freighter.
The old man stood on the deck and sighed. These high-speed boats really couldn't drive back because they burned gasoline. There was only diesel on this boat.
He did understand why there were eight people in total, but they drove eight high-speed boats.
This is for carrying boxes, and a speedboat cannot fit it.
The problem is, can’t even fit eight?
What puzzled him the most was that none of these people had guns, only crescent knives and short swords, just like those used by their predecessors.
"The Indian clay man is very skilled in using knives." He said to the first mate: "You all hide."
"Yes." The first mate turned around and took the lurking soldiers back to the bottom cabin with their guns in hand.
If the veteran doesn't come out, the first mate will fight. What's the point of not training troops?There is a difference between having fired a gun and not having fired a gun, and there is an even bigger difference between having killed someone and not having killed anyone.
But the veteran obviously doesn't have this patience.
The eight speedboats finally arrived. They hid in three directions at the stern of the ship, then picked up a 20-meter-long bamboo stick with a hook. As agile as a monkey, the eight people climbed onto the cargo ship together.
The big boat stopped very cooperatively, so as not to be too far away from the speedboat and have to go back.
All the pirates saw Lao Dao.
Then, they drew their knives together and gathered around. The leader of the pirates said:
"We don't kill people, we only shop. You'd better cooperate."
Shopping is the looting of goods.
The old Taoist said calmly: "The boxes are all empty, please check first."
The eight people were stunned, no wonder they were so calm.
The leader of the pirates asked: "Where is the cargo?"
"It's totally out of stock. It's just used to lure pirates."
"Ah?" The eight pirates were shocked, looking around for ambush.
"Don't look for it. There are more than 200 people on the boat, but they won't come out, because I am enough on my own." The old Taoist said calmly.
Eight people's eyes widened.
The old Taoist asked easily: "Who will try first?"
"Just give it a try." Before the pirate behind him could say anything, the knife had already stabbed the old man's lower back.
But the moment the tip of his knife almost touched Lao Dao, Lao Dao came first, turned sideways, took his wrist, turned his palm, and pierced the heart of the attacking pirate with the scimitar. It was so fast that the other pirates reacted and bent The knives all stabbed wildly.
It is not nonsense to say that the old master was beaten to death with random punches. In this kind of scene, any fighting master will be destroyed. The key is that these people are ruthless enough, and they are all critical if they attack together.
But the old man is not sure, can he let them surround him?They have already been defeated one by one.
Now, that's even simpler.
All seven pirates saw nothing before their eyes, and people actually flew into the sky!
The pirates were immediately stunned.
The old Taoist asked in the air: "Are you convinced?"
bang bang bang.
All the knives fell on the deck, so I surrendered.
The old man fell back to the original place easily, still surrounded by seven people: "You look very professional, but why don't you have a gun?"
The seven people's cheeks twitched. You're not so arrogant, are you? Are you still professional when everything is in your hands?
The leader of the pirates said simply: "We are not pirates, because we are hired to shop and steal goods. We specialize in this. Unless we are discovered by others, we generally will not do anything, and we are rarely discovered."
The veteran thought that these eight people were indeed extremely flexible. If he hadn't been on the ship, and the navy was here to fight pirates, it would have been difficult to detect them.
He asked: "How much does it cost to hire you?"
"Five thousand dollars, eight of us."
"So few?" The old Taoist was surprised.
"Actually quite a few, because the ship belongs to the employer, and we are only responsible for stealing the cargo and not caring about anything else. We hand the ship over to professional 'navigators' - and then leave. The whole process usually takes less than 10 minutes, including today's cargo. We don’t plan to move them all, just one box per person is enough to complete the task.”
Another pirate said: "It's all practice that makes perfect. We don't use guns."
The veteran understood that this should be called sea stealing. He only stole and did nothing else, and he became proficient.
“Now to the most critical question, where is the employer?”
"On Barbie Island."
"How many people are there?"
"Well, if you're asking about the entire island, there are more than 1000 people. But there is only one employer, and his people are all on the boat. I don't know how many people there are. They are all friends, and no one will touch their boat."
"Very good, it would be nice to have a big boat, eight people here!" the old Taoist shouted.
Da Da ran out with eight soldiers.
The cheeks of the seven pirates twitched, they turned out to be soldiers.
"Let's drive eight speedboats to Babi Island." The old man ordered loudly.
The eight soldiers immediately followed the bamboo pole to the high-speed boat. They all knew how to drive river patrol boats, which were bigger than this, so it was no problem.
Then the big ships and speedboats set sail at the same time.
The seven pirates completely understood that this was fishing, and they would take back whoever came to rob them. It was not enough to rob a speedboat, but a big boat was needed.
The old Taoist signaled: "It's still early, sit down, everyone, sit down."
The seven pirates didn't know why. They bent down at first. When they saw the old man sitting cross-legged, they immediately followed suit. But they felt extremely ridiculous in their hearts. Why do you want to talk to us for half the night?
The veteran said enthusiastically: "Tell me about Barbie Island, tell me about pirates, you can tell me anything."
The pirates were suddenly speechless. Can they say anything?
Well, these pirates started talking about it all at once, and some people actually added, explained, and argued——
Babi Island is on the Indonesian side of the Strait of Malacca. The water there is relatively shallow and there are many islands scattered there. It is only 4 kilometers away from Singapore.
Babi Island is the famous 'Pirate Island'. Of course, this reputation is well-known in the industry, but ordinary people still don't know it.
There are stilt houses everywhere on the island, with about 1000 people living there. The occupations of the people here are also very simple, they are either pirates or prostitutes.
Unlike other waters, Indian pirates rarely kill people and will flee when faced with resistance.
However, with the decline of India's economy, the number of poor people who have no food to eat has increased, and the number of pirate attacks has increased.
The pirate leaders of Barbie Island are all friends with each other, sharing prey, women, and tattoos.
They are all short, dark, middle-aged men.
When they gather together, they reminisce about the past.
Someone said that once they actually boarded an American warship.
Some people said that they once followed a Russian oil tanker. Unexpectedly, the tanker was fully equipped and loaded with ammunition.
Another time they broke into a boat, but they didn't know that another group of people was robbing it.
Everyone poured wine into their mouths desperately.
One leader said that they are not as crazy now as before. At that time, on a moonless night, they could loot 15 ships, whether it was cash or goods.
But now, few ships carry cash.
Most Barbie pirates are elite pirates.
They will be hired to steal large cargo ships, such as 100-meter-long, 10000-ton cargo ships, and their cargo.
In Barbi, there is a pirate from the island of Sanguire.
He was once the captain of a reserve army and "switched" to become a pirate in the 70s.
Sankil Island is located near the southern tip of the Philippines. It has the best sailors in India, so it is very famous in the pirate world.
The "captain", now in his 50s, was arrested twice and was released each time because his employer paid bribes to the authorities.
But he suspected that it was actually arranged by his employer so that he could receive less employment fees.
Therefore, the "captain" said that choosing an employer is a very demanding matter, but he also said: "We sometimes take the deposit and run away, so there is nothing to say if someone plays tricks on us."
