Lux's timely appearance saved several of the Hook Gang thugs responsible for tracking her from becoming living bone sculptures.
Gangplank soon got the news that Lux appeared again and redeemed a bounty.
This explained Lux's whereabouts very well, but the suspicious Gangplank still felt a little unhappy.
If possible, he really doesn't want to let an outsider with unknown background become the agent of this trade.
But Planck really had no choice.
Camille wanted him to be in charge of transportation, so she explained the prospects of Ionia trade clearly to him - but as Kalja said, not only was Gangplank not impressed, but he felt a huge sense of crisis from it.
.
Joining this trade means becoming a vassal of Piltover; allowing other pirates and gangs to engage in this trade means giving the other party a chance to rise.
In this case, he would look for someone who is not so strong and can be controlled to subcontract the trade.
Crow is a good choice, but compared to Crow, Miss Shadow, an insidious outsider, seems better - Crow is not on good terms with other gangs because of his cruelty and eccentricity, and Gangplank is easier to control; and this newcomer
Miss Shadow has no manpower at all. If she wants to engage in trade and raise a team, she can only find those wandering old sea dogs.
In this case, she is more controllable than the crow.
Initially, Gangplank thought his plan was perfect, until his subordinates reported that Lux went to the Temple of the Snake Mother.
Gangplank, who once had a relationship with Illaoi and experienced a trial by the Serpent Mother, knows the greatness of Naga Kapoulos better than anyone else.
It is no exaggeration to say that Gangplank was able to reach this point because he was cunning and ruthless enough, but the help he received from that trial was also extremely amazing.
If Miss Shadow passes Illaoi's trial...
That would be terrible.
Planck needs a businessman who is under his control and who can arbitrarily extract ship bid money, not a strong guy who may even challenge him.
In fact, if it weren't for the man's pride, when his subordinates reported that Miss Shadow had gone to the Snake Mother Temple, he would have already taken the initiative to visit her!
At this moment, Plank finally realized that his control over the shadow lady was insufficient.
Fortunately, he at least has sufficient control over Bilgewater - considering that with the beginning of Ionia trade, this port may usher in some changes, Gangplank feels that he should also strengthen Bilgewater.
Cognition of the Water people.
Blood and death can always be a good warning to those who are ready to take action.
Thinking of this, Plank finally relaxed. He took out an orange again. This time he finally did not put the skin into his mouth. Instead, he took a small knife from his waist and slowly began to peel the orange.
Even this was not enough, after peeling the skin, he peeled off the orange veins one by one, as if the delicate white orange veins were some kind of deadly poison.
In the eyes of the people of Bilgewater, Gangplank represents power and tyranny.
This makes many people subconsciously forget that this is also a cunning guy who likes to use his brain.
In Planck's hands, an orange was quickly peeled cleanly. He nodded with satisfaction, and then stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth.
The sweet and delicious orange juice exploded in his mouth, and the slightly sour taste made Plank squint his eyes. He stood up and looked at the fishing boats moored at the slaughterhouse, and his heart finally moved slightly.
Planck had a great idea.
……………………
It is impossible to meet Illaoi. As the person who was dumped, Gangplank has his own dignity and will never take the initiative to find Illaoi.
However, Gangplank was still very concerned about the fact that Miss Shadow went to the temple - plus he wanted to scare those who might have inappropriate thoughts in the future, so a vicious plan was quickly hatched.
.
The next day, an incredible rumor spread in Bilgewater.
On Planck's flagship Abyss, the largest main gun "Death's Daughter" is about to be decommissioned. Three days later, this decommissioned main gun will be dedicated to the Snake Mother - and when it sank into the sea
At that time, Planck will choose a fleet to "send him off".
Even the pirates had never heard of such a thing as using a fleet to bury a main gun. While the various pirate gangs were tremblingly discussing countermeasures, the Hook Gang under Gangplank sent out commissioners and began to investigate the situation of the ships in each fleet.
.
It seems that Planck really intends to carry out a shocking sacrifice and send a certain unlucky guy's fleet to meet the snake mother.
The atmosphere in Bilgewater quickly became tense.
Even though he is recognized by the pirates as the "King of Pirates", Gangplank's behavior has caused dissatisfaction among many people - they are afraid of Gangplank's power, and they dare not do anything on the surface, but secretly
, many people have begun to make their own plans.
Although the saying that good people get more help and unjust people get less help does not work among pirates, such unbridled power as Gangplank will still trigger a strong backlash. The fleet is the lifeblood of pirates. Even if you are a disaster of the ocean, you are a disaster of pirates.
Wang, this is indeed over the line.
Did Planck know?
Planck knew it better than anyone else.
Although he is a pirate, Gangplank is also very good at fishing.
In the face of rumors, the cunning old seals can still keep their composure, but there are always young people who are too arrogant and take the lead.
The result was that the two guys who were running around the night before, contacting those who opposed Planck were betrayed by their companions the next morning, and their bodies were hung on the Butcher's Bridge.
Gangplank chose a perfect angle for them, ensuring that anyone entering Bilgewater would be able to see the bodies of these two "betrayers" as soon as they looked up.
Their ships will be given as rewards to their deputies - Planck's unabashed promotion almost directly announced who was the real betrayer.
After that, no one mentioned the matter of being buried in a boat. At this stage, anyone with a brain would have realized that Planck was fishing.
In any normal political power, this kind of trouble-seeking behavior is a kind of nonsense that will only lead to disunity.
But to the pirates, Gangplank's behavior only made people feel cunning and cruel.
After this incident, the pirates' apparent obedience has become much higher, and it has become much more difficult to trust each other and join forces to do something.
Planck was very satisfied with this result.
The next day, Lux received an invitation. Gangplank asked her to discuss the manpower issue for Ionia trade. The letter mentioned that he had prepared two available people for Ionia trade.
If nothing else, these two "available people" should be the two real betrayers.
Along with this invitation, Lux received a note from Sarah.
The message on the note was simple: "The tide is rising."
