Chapter 188 [0186] The First Bird to Stand Out

The name Oka made Gangplank frown.

He knew this guy—and was familiar with it.

In today's Bilgewater, where there are many gangs, if you want to choose a gang leader with the "most stable rule", Okao will definitely be ranked high.

This guy's gang is based closer to the Blue Flame Islands, and most of the gang members are Baru people, and Okao is also a Baru people.

Like most Baru people, Okao believes in the Snake Mother and is quite religious.

As a young man, the devout O'Kau took part in Illaoi's trials and failed, but survived.

Okao himself has a good harpoon, and he also has some summoning spells, and can summon small sea monsters to fight for him, so he and his gang are one of the most difficult forces to mess with in the entire Bilgewater.

Gangplank had no idea that Tam would make him his first target.

"Okao doesn't seem like a greedy guy." Thinking of this, Gangplank couldn't help but shook his head, "He is very pious, and Illaoi's words sound to him like the will of the god's name. Maybe he is greedy, but This greed can be suppressed."

"He did suppress it very well in the past." Tam laughed happily again, "But now, this greed can no longer be suppressed. This is all thanks to you, Gangplank!"

"What does this have to do with me?" Plank obviously didn't quite understand what Tam meant. "I have almost no interaction with him, and one failure makes him unable to suppress his ambitions?"

"If others fail, Oka naturally doesn't care, but you are different." Tam seemed to be happy to share some interesting secret information with Plank, "Do you still remember, when you became a disaster of the ocean, Oka Kao is very supportive.”

"That's because I passed the test and he didn't."

"But you are finished - and he is now the only secular person close to the one who believes."

"That Faith" is the name Tam used when talking about Nagakapoulos. This guy seems to be very afraid of the Snake Mother. Even though he is obviously poaching Nagakapoulos, he still maintains the utmost respect for this god. degree of respect.

"The only secular person?" Gangplank understood what Tam meant. "You mean, in Oko's opinion, Illaoi will support him?"

"Perhaps reason is telling him that this is impossible." Tam said meaningfully, "But, I smell his greed... With just a little guidance, he will embark on the path we expect."

Gangplank subconsciously wanted to ask if Illaoi really supported Okao and made things false, wouldn't it be like shooting himself in the foot - but he then realized that this was simply impossible.

Gangplank knows better than anyone how devout Illaoi's faith is.

If Okao fails to pass the Serpent Mother's test, then he is not qualified to be supported by Illaoi.

It’s no use being pious.

So Tam's idea makes sense.

As long as Oko's greed is aroused and he thinks that Illaoi will support him, then he will rush out stupidly and help Gangplank clear all obstacles.

Illaoi will not support him, so he is destined to fail, but until he fails, he is Gangplank's sharp blade!

Moreover, others will not take the initiative to win over and fight for such a difficult and powerful faction - Okao did not attend the meeting initiated by Sarah today at all!

What a clever idea indeed!

After thinking about all this, Planck felt happy. He stood up and poured himself a glass of wine.

"So, how do we arouse the desire in Okao's heart?" Plank frowned and thought for a while, then found that he seemed to have no clue at all, "Do you have a way?"

"Of course." In the wine glass, a catfish face quietly emerged, flicking his tongue excitedly, "Just lend him a little strength."

The next moment, Gangplank nodded, agreed to Tam's plan, and then threw the wine glass with his backhand.

"If you appear in cups, toilets, and soup bowls like this again, our cooperation will completely stop!"

……………………

It rained all night but was windy, and the sun was shining brightly when I got up early.

Okao came to the temple of Nagakapoulos as always and performed his own worship.

The gang leader's piety was well known in Bilgewater.

Ever since he witnessed the great power of the Snake Mother during a soul-devouring night, he became Nagakapoulos' most devout believer, worshiping every morning and evening, and never missed it for thirty years.

When it comes to familiarity with Nagakaporos' maxims, not even most of the priests in Bilgewater can compare with him.

For Okao, although the situation in Bilgewater has been somewhat chaotic recently, this chaos has nothing to do with him - no matter who ends up becoming the new pirate king, he must ultimately give himself face, so he Sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, even if Sarah Fortune, who was in the limelight recently, sent an invitation, he simply refused without any hesitation.

The service went well, and he offered fresh fruits and gilded statuettes as usual. What made him a little concerned was that the priest who led the service today seemed to be particularly kind to him.

Because of Illaoi, although the priests recognized Okao's piety, their attitude towards him was not much different from that of other believers.

But the priest who was responsible for leading the worship today always gave Okao a feeling of being extra attentive.

This makes Okao a little strange.

After leaving the temple, he recalled it again and again, but he didn't think of any problems. It seemed that the other party just had a good attitude, nothing more.

Although he didn't know why, this experience still made Ao Kao in a good mood - he was like a dog who had licked the goddess for many years, and suddenly received a message. Even if it was just a group New Year's greetings, it still made him very happy.

On the way back to his base, he walked briskly, and it seemed that the sea breeze had become warmer.

Turning a corner, he met a hurried pedestrian head-on. The other party lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something - he hurriedly avoided when turning the corner, so he stepped into the puddle of water.

Just as Ao Kao subconsciously dodged, he was surprised to find that the water in the puddle seemed to be actively "avoiding" him.

This amazing discovery surprised and delighted Ao Kao. He subconsciously let go of the blind passerby and locked his eyes on the puddle of water. As his mind moved, the puddle of water suddenly started to wave without wind, rippling a wave of waves.

After rubbing his eyes and confirming that he was not mistaken, Okao was suddenly very excited. He was no longer in a hurry to return to the base. He simply turned around and headed straight for the seaside.

On an uninhabited coast, Okao felt the strange throbbing, raised his arms high, and then swung them down heavily.

In front of Okao, the surging waves seemed to have received orders, changed direction according to his thoughts, and hit the reefs on the side fiercely.

The next moment, Okao crawled on the coast and began to recite the name of the snake mother loudly - and the surging waves, like a grinning mouth, laughed silently.

Kalya's Little Classroom Nagakaporos's Misunderstanding:

As a conceptual god, Nagakaporos is often misunderstood - or in other words, those who really understand what Nagakaporos is are a minority. Even devout priests and believers are more willing to accept the image of "an extremely powerful sea monster" rather than a series of abstract concepts.

It seems that idol worship is engraved in the bones of most people.

PS. From two tests in three days to three tests in three days, I am also drunk...

There may be additional updates in the second half of the night, depending on what time I wake up.
