Unfortunately, Caterina didn't succeed in the end.

The helmsman of the Viper was cut by Henna, and the skilled first mate and Wang were also entangled in four moves, and their heads were cut off with a single sword.

The Stormtrooper stabbed Clen, and was about to reap the battle when Pierce, who was watching in mid-air, shot him dead.

Seeing that the tide is turning, Amy. Philard chose to surrender to Lorraine.

The battle is over.

Pierce reported from the lookout that as the Viper lowered its pirate flag, the snorting Brigenting had turned its bow and fled in the Caribbean breeze.

This disappointed Lorraine.

The Viper's pirates were tied up in a string, and the Brig-type pirates boarded the dinghy in an orderly manner under the threat of the Golden Deer's guns, abandoned the ship, tied their arms, and gathered on the deck of the Viper.

"There were more than 200 captives......

Leaning on the railing of the stern, Lorraine looked at the dense pirates at his feet with a headache, and looked embarrassed.

Grunting Caterina holds Amy. Philard stepped onto the deck, blood still splattered on his face from nowhere: "Mr. Captain, if you want to hang this pirate on the mast, I can be the executioner." ”

"That's not what a noble knight should say, even if you've been a pirate for a while." Lorraine shrugged and frowned at her captive, "Mr. Philard, what do you say I should do with you and your men?" ”

"Your ship is flying the pirate flag, sir." Amy. Philard suppressed the tremors in his voice, "I want you to obey the rules of the Pirate Code. It is the law of the Caribbean, and to turn one's back on it is to be the enemy of the skull flag that flies throughout the Caribbean. ”

"It makes sense, I also believe in order." Lorraine sighed helplessly, "But I don't know much about that codex. What does it say? Lights out at 8 p.m.? Or, don't rape ** women? ”

"You're talking about the code of conduct! For a duel between pirate gentlemen, it was stipulated that the winner could deprive the loser of his property, but not harm the life of the loser, as was the case with those nobles! ”

"Really?" Lorraine looked inquiringly at Caterina.

"He's lying to you." Caterina was expressionless, "Captain Morgan and the black baron-to-be both know a lot about the nobles, and it is impossible for them to be so stupid in presiding over the revision of the code. ”

"Makes sense." Lorraine walked up and patted Philard on the shoulder with a smile, "Sir, you are not familiar with the nobility, and the reason why the nobles will take prisoners and not kill them is because we can ask for ransom from his family. What about you? Who wants to pay a ransom for you? Brotherhood at sea? Or the Brigentine that escaped? ”

Filard's face turned pale: "I ...... My wealth is in the bilge......"

"They're mine."

"I ...... I still have the secret of the Pirate King......"

"Ms. Dipo has submitted her application to board the ship, and I guess you don't know more than she does."

Philard's eyes were sloppy: "But I surrendered on my own initiative!" You can't use the brutal navy tactics of a pirate against an adversary who has given up resistance. ”

"It's a shame, that should have been the easiest way to do it......" Lorraine muttered regretfully, squinting at the Caribbean sharks gathered under the boat and biting at the flesh.

Amy. Philard gets the Codex treatment he wants.

Scuttling the ship, which had lost its repair value, Lorraine and his crew steered the blood-stained Viper and the scarred Golden Deer to a nearby bare reef strip far from the islands, guided by Caterina.

More than 200 pirates were taken prisoner to the reef, and the sailors rowed assault boats, leaving sailors' knives and rum on a dozen relatively large reefs, and nothing else.

Lorraine knew that there would be people who were good at the water and who were lucky enough to swim through the waters several kilometers wide to find the island hidden beyond sea level.

However, it can only be a minority.

Most people don't have the courage to survive in death, and what awaits them is only hell.

……

The near-intact Viper was captured in the battle, and Drake's ship became a fleet.

The flotilla of the two ships sailed slowly across the sea, full of shouting and running figures, and the deck was busy.

This is the thing that must be done after every battle, to clean the deck, to count the capture, to repair the damage, to heal the wounded......

Whether it's a seafarer or a sailor, everyone has their own work to do, but Lorraine, as a captain, he doesn't need to do it himself, he just needs to wait for the results, and then look at the list and give the final advice.

So he's idle.

Redirecting the target of the voyage to Port Royal in Kingston, he sat down on the bow of the Golden Deer, and lay down with the hull of the ship, his thoughts organized with a blank expression.

The opening battle in the Caribbean was quite a shock to Lorraine.

It's a pirate's paradise, and lawbreakers roam the seas, nearly knocking Lorraine to death with their strange tactics of movement and stillness.

Four people were killed and twenty-two wounded, which was not a huge loss for a broadside battle in which there were fewer battles and more battles. But Lorraine knew that if it weren't for the luck of the ship to take in Katarina, the price he would have paid would be far higher than it is now, and even the victory or defeat would be between the two sides.

How can you get a foothold in the Caribbean quickly?

Lorraine reached out and grabbed the reindeer's horns, stunned.

Jenny and McCarthy flew over suddenly, and somehow got into it, and landed on his shoulders to talk about love and love. The white ears looked at them maliciously, wanting to catch a bird and open the meat, but he suspected that he didn't have that ability, so he was so anxious that he scratched his beard and meowed.

Lorraine grabbed the hair on the back of the little guy and rubbed it angrily: "You can't eat them, they are Carmen's pets, if you hurt them, Carmen will be sad." ”

Wail! Wail!

The puffin triumphantly defied the black cat, flapping its wings and flying to the stern, presumably looking for its owner.

The dignity and status of the white ears were humiliated, and he had to lick Lorraine's palms pitifully, scratching and scratching his little paws, pointing far away at the fishing rod by the railing.

At this time, Henna came up, scooped up the white ears with her slender hand, and said to the stern, "It's time to eat, let's eat." ”

"Meow!"

The white ears ran away as soon as they slipped through the smoke.

Lorraine looked at the little guy running away with a smile, patted the empty deck behind her, and motioned for Henna to sit down.

Henna sat down, naturally against Lorraine's back, and looked at the sails: "What are you thinking?" ”

"Thinking of a crazy idea about how to get a foothold in the Caribbean, and, of course, some personal vendettas."

"Can you make money?"

Lorraine turned her head strangely: "Do you still care if you can make money?" ”

"You're thinking about the Chamber of Commerce, and whether you can make money is the most important thing." Henna looked at Lorraine, stretched out her finger, and tapped Lorraine's eyebrows lightly, "As for the adventure...... We are at sea, when are we not on the risk? ”

"This time is different." Lorraine opened his hand and drew a circle, "Within the scope of the rules, there will be no irreversible consequences for doing anything, but if we step out, the price we have to pay may be unacceptable." ”

"Can you make money?" Henna is still that problem.

Lorraine thought about it seriously: "Yes, and it earns a lot." ”

"Then don't step out. Just stand on the edge of the line and put your hand out. ”

Lorraine's eyes widened: "You mean...... Fishing across the line? ”
