In the early morning of December 6, 1492, the Geno-born seafaring explorer Christopher Columbus led a voyage of three Spanish ships to enter the "windward passage" between the eastern side of the island of Cuba and the western part of the island of Spain (Haiti) after leaving the island of Cuba, which he had first discovered.

Sailing to sunrise, Columbus spotted the outline of an island shaped like a turtle appearing in the morning mist. The fleet is getting closer to the island, and the shape of the island seems to remind Columbus that it is a large "turtle" lying on the surface of the sea. When the fleet reached the southern coast of the island, he chose the name Tolti Island (Turtle Island) to name the island. At this point, Columbus became the first European to land on the island of Torti.

Half a century later, on December 4, 1543, the dawn began to break and the hazy fog had cleared from the sea. I saw the sun slowly rising in the gray sea of clouds, and the orange light released by it spread over the sea of clouds. The originally dim surface of the sea suddenly rippled red waves.

A sail shadow appeared on the sea and sailed towards the other side of the strait, like a seagull tempering its body on the sea, it was a fisherman who started a new day of life and went out to sea to work!? Of course... No. There are only two kinds of people sailing sailboats on the Caribbean Sea, one is the Spaniard, and the other is... Pirates of the Caribbean.

Isabel Walton, who is a royal pirate, led the maritime lieutenant Baldwin, Captain William Hawkins, the maritime lieutenant, and the retinue to board the "Nemesis" armed merchant ship, and set off from the "Pirate Port" named by her in the northwest of the Spanish island. Sail north to the rising sun, crossing the strait and off the coast of the southern central part of the island of Torti.

Thus, in the long years after the death of Columbus, who served the Spanish royal family, Isabel Walton, a descendant of the nobility of northern England and a royal pirate, became the first Englishman to land on the island of Tolti. Of course, this landing of hers is not worth much hype. After all, Tolti was not discovered by her, and she was not the first European to land on the island.

"Boatswain, we have reached the offshore waters of Tolti Island." The sailors on duty at the observation deck on the mainmast happily reported loudly to Boatswain Brady on the open deck.

Brady raised his head and waved his arm at the sailor, and hurriedly ran towards Isabelle, Captain Hawkins, and the others who were standing on the bow. Isabel heard the boatswain's report and immediately gave the order, "Drop anchor outside the offshore waters and prepare the ferry." ”

When the Nemesis dropped anchor and anchored in the deep sea south of Tolti Island, Isabel and Captain Hawkins boarded a ferry, and four sailors rowed hard to the coast in front of them. Soon, when the ferry came to the shallows, everyone stepped off the ferry and waded towards the white sand beach on the coast.

"Hahaha... This is the island of Tolti?! Columbus, you certainly wouldn't have thought that the English would set foot on this island you discovered. Captain Hawkins stood on the edge of the sand with his hands on his hips, turning to stare at the calm sea.

"Captain, come ashore." Isabel greeted Captain Hawkins with a smile as she walked up to a small clearing on the shore.

"Miss, you know what, this island reminds me of a magical, amazing island written about in a book." As Captain Hawkins walked to shore, he rejoiced, "Not only is the island full of freedom, democracy, and fraternity, but it also has a rural and idyllic society, free from taxes, misery, and theft." ”

The crowd standing on the shore seemed to have never seen Captain Hawkins so happy, and they all laughed. When Captain Hawkins approached the group, Isabel happily stepped forward and looked at each other, "Captain, then, do you remember what the book was?" ”

Captain Hawkins crossed his waist with his left hand, scratched his head subconsciously with his right hand, and shook his head again, "Miss, I don't remember." I think the content of this book was probably told to me by the pastor. ”

"Captain, the title of this book is 'Utopia', and it was written by Sir Thomas More, a former Lord Chancellor of England."

"Oh, miss, I probably remember something when you say that."

At this time, one of the captains of the family looked at him and joked, "Patriarch, Miss Isabel means that as long as you finish reading this book written by the Chancellor, you can be awarded the title of knight." ”

"Miss, this distant relative of mine is not telling the truth, is it?" Perhaps, Captain Hawkins thought too much of the knighthood and would have naively asked a stupid question.

Isabel smiled lightly and nodded, "Yes, that's not true. Captain, in fact, this book is written in Latin, and if you want to understand this book, you must first go to the church and receive an education in Latin. ”

The joke was punctured like a paper tiger, and everyone present burst into laughter. At this time, Isabel pointed to the east side of the beach and said, "Sir, there is a forest there, let's go there and rest for a while." ”

———————————

As the group rested at the edge of the woods and chatted, Isabel set her eyes on the blue sea in front of her. At this moment, she seemed to see countless armed merchant ships on the sea, loaded with men and women of all kinds of status, tools, carriages, and a large number of daily necessities coming to Tolti Island. Then, after more than a century of pioneering, these men and women turned Tolti into a famous center of pirate agglomeration and dispersion in the Caribbean.

Standing up and stepping on the soft white sand, leaving a long trail of riding boot prints behind her, Isabel paced leisurely back and forth with her arms folded over her chest. Slowly walked up to Captain Hawkins and smiled, "Captain, you love this Tolty Island, don't you?" ”

Captain Hawkins, who was sitting on a piece of dead wood, greedily inhaled the Spaniards' "holy medicine" with his small Indian pipe, and as he spit out the clouds, he looked up in vigour, smiled and nodded, "Yes, miss." It's not just because we can occupy the island, which the Spaniards abandoned. You should know that the location of this Toldi island is really important. ”

Isabel kept her distance from the captain as much as possible, she didn't want to be a victim of passive smoking. Turning to the right of Captain Hawkins, he turned his face to the sea and said, "Yes, it is easy to plunder the Spaniard's treasure ship by guarding here." So, do you want to make this a domain of His Majesty and the royal family, or a favorite place for pirates? ”

Captain Hawkins, with his nearly finished tobacco pipe, stood up and looked at her, "Miss, is there any difference between the two?" ”
