Chapter 825 - Mother Nature's Best
Marlo and Ratcliffe ran into the forest alongside a hundred other panicky pirates that ran haphazardly in fear.
There were many hideouts deep in the forest, so some went to the ones they could remember.
Of course, others thought of riding towards the other camps to call for help.
They didn’t think that these people would be able to take everyone on the island all at once.
One should know that their crew alone roughly had 15,000, and the other crews had 13~14000 people in them.
Of course, their first captains had several other men and shots on missions at the moment.
So there were only about 15,000 of them in the base.
Again, some freshly new pirate captives were currently in another island training.
Each time slaves were brought and assigned to crews or positions on land, they would first get trained on another island for a year and a half before they began working where they were stationed.
From there, many start by becoming floor boys who clean the deck at all times.
And with time, they eventually become the fierce and lawless pirates that they were today.
On the training island, all their complaints, plans and hopes of escaping will be driven out of them in very gruesome manners.
So they had no choice but to give up because even if they did escape, they would now be ’wanted’ by the pirate organization for life.
This was bad because greedy people who spotted them would undoubtedly want to turn them in and get the reward money.
And if they had another family, then that family would also be targeted as well.
In short, escape wasn’t an option for them.
So they had to give up and accept their faiths as pirates.
.
Anyway, their crew got 1,200 recruits after making them fight each other hand with only daggers at hand.
They could fight as they liked with anything going.
But they couldn’t kill their opponent or deliver a fatal attack.
After all, every one of them was still merchandise that had been bought.
Unlike the pirates who were too scared at the moment while rushing for safety, they on the other hand still had their sense online.
This was the forest, so how could they ever forget about the dangers of mother nature?
.
Ratcliffe and Marlo looked at each other in understanding while ensuring they stayed in the middle of the group.
And just as they expected, they encountered several tests from mother nature, all of which didn’t affect them since they remained in their center positions.
Many pirates drowned in sinking mud, while others ran close to massive beautiful but deadly plants that sucked them dry.
Some idiot also accidentally bumped into a Hongorous beehive that was a colony of red bees which were smaller than regular bees but more gruesome.
The bees all swarmed around the idiot’s face, disfigured him and killed him in a matter of minutes.
But how could mother nature let things go?
’Grrrrrrr!!!’
A deep grunting noise echoed all around the group, making many tremble weakly.
Some had just been thinking about leaving the group and branching off to where they wanted to head to.
But now, how dare they?
The sound right now didn’t sound like it came from one creature.
No!!
It sounded like many beasts were out there hiding in the shadows, waiting to have a taste of their thick flesh.
’Sling!’
They took their swords and daggers out impatiently while carefully observing their surroundings
"My Lord, it appears that we have company."
"Hmm.
In this case, then this group is now useless to us, understand?"
Ratcliffe smiled broadly and while looking at the anxious pirates.
"My lord, I understand."
"Good."
