Chapter 257: Blackbeard's Departure
Ten minutes later, the battle aboard the Glory was over. Only a dozen of the more than fifty crew members on board were killed, and the captain was assassinated when Shuichi Amami boarded the ship.
At the end of the war, the corpses of Funayama were not only those British soldiers, but also the pirates under Thatch Blackbeard, and the crew of Mary Reid's ship.
There were losses on both sides, but the victory ultimately belonged to the pirates.
And this damaged 'Glory' now belongs to Tianjian Shu.
I've been on Edward's Jackdaw before, and it's particularly inconvenient for me to make any moves. Amami Shu has long wanted to grab a ship of his own, and this 'Glory' is quite satisfactory to Amami Shu, although the 'Glory' is not a legendary ship, but it is bigger than Blackbeard's 'Queen Anne's Revenge', and the firepower is also more powerful. However, the scope of damage to Zhou's ship is too large now, and Amami Shu can only leave it on the nearby island for repairs first.
Thatch left two of his ship's navigators, as well as a few pirates, who would take care of getting the ship to Nassau when the Glory was repaired.
……
On the Queen Anne's Revenge, Osamu Amami, Thatch, and Mary Reid sat in the captain's room.
"Did you really get a lot of medicine?" Thatch was surprised by the number of medicines that Tenjian had just mentioned.
"Well, a total of 600 bottles of medicine, that's enough for us to get through Nassau." "We've been away from Nassau for so long, and Benjamin should have solved the island's sanitation problems, as well as those who have contracted the plague. ”
Medicine cannot be used unconditionally by every pirate on the island, and if the illness is serious, it should be killed, and it should be burned. The transmissibility of the plague is no joke. Nassau is a place that preaches freedom, but don't think about getting something for nothing.
"I recently received news that Woodes Rogers is now aggressively recruiting pirates, and quite a few pirates have already taken over this group of Brits. I am afraid that their forgiveness will reach us in Nassau very soon. The Queen's pardon made many pirates give up their identity, after all, most pirates did not believe in freedom, they just wanted to use the simple act of violence to obtain food, gold, and women.
Only a man like Thatch is for true freedom. A pirate republic was established. It's a pity that he can't manage a country properly, and in the end, he's just a famous pirate. Unlike other pirates, he has faith that can sustain himself until death.
……
A few days later, the port of Nassau.
From the lookout, Osamu Amami saw the merchant ship of Stad Bonney, and it seemed that he had sailed safely to the island.
"Hey Bonnie, Edward."
As soon as he got off the boat, Osamu Amami saw Bonnie and Kenway sitting at the bar.
"Xiu, I heard that you have a big harvest, right?" Kenway placed a glass of rum in front of Amami Shu and asked curiously.
"Do you mean all these medicines that Bonnie brought back?" As he spoke, Amami looked around him, "It seems that Benjamin has 'cleaned up this island'." ”
The surroundings have really gotten a lot cleaner, although there is still a small amount of garbage on the side of the street, but this is already nice. And the stench of decay is no longer in the air, and the pedestrians on the road are no longer hobbling and dying as they used to be.
"I heard that you captured a British warship." Just as he was thinking about Benjamin, he himself sat down at the same table with several others.
"yes, that's what I want to ask." Edward said from the side.
The carrier pigeon delivered the letter faster than the ship's sailing speed, so the report of the battle of several men had already been reported that the Glory had been captured before the Queen Anne's Revenge arrived in Nassau. Although this is not a legendary ship, it is one of the main warships in the hands of the British Navy.
"Well, it's really down." Tianjian Xiu nodded, "I'll fix the ship somewhere else, and the crew of Thatch will send the ship over when the time comes." About a month. ”
At the same time as the repair, Osamu Amami also threw a sum of money there to make some upgrades to the hull. For example, the reinforcement of the hull surface, the upgrading of artillery.
"Where's Thatch?" Benjamin looked around and couldn't find Thatch.
"He's going to fix something else." Amami Shu said. "With Kidd, I don't know what to do."
At night, it was still the same bar, where Osamu Amami and Edward were still sitting, and Benjamin went to deal with his fleet, and Stad Bonney said that he was going to be a pirate, so he decided to hang out with Benjamin for a while.
"Still haven't come home?" Amami asked.
Hearing Amamishu's inquiry, Edward's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly.
"Nope." "I wanted to write a letter home, but I didn't know what to write. ”
"Maybe Caroline has forgotten about me." Edward looked at the few pieces of paper on the ground a little lonely. He wrote the beginning several times, but he didn't know how to write it later.
Amamishu didn't know what to say. He is really not familiar with this kind of thing of comforting people.
While the two of them were just drinking like this, Thatch came over with a bottle of rum and was alone, not seeing Mary Reed.
"Done?" Amami asked Thatch.
"Nope." Thatch shook his head, "I'm going to the north to take care of something." ”
Northern?
Edward looked up at Thatch, "You're not leaving, are you?" You're leaving us? Leaving Nassau? ”
The atmosphere around became a little sad. Thatch's departure was expected by Tenmi Shu.
Actually, it's not expected.,After all, there's this plot in the original game.。 He still remembers it quite clearly, although the timing is always a little wrong.
Thatch chuckled rarely, shaking the bottle in his hand.
"Man, I'm forty years old. If I'm fifty years old and can't figure out how to make my journey a little more comfortable. I might as well go to the devil's door and report on it, what kind of bullshit boat. ”
Edward looked at Thatch in amazement. When I went to sea that year, it was this person who took me. From a privateer, to a pirate. Now this man has said that he wants to leave, to leave the pirate republic he created.
Thatch patted Kenway on the shoulder, "We'll see you again, boy, whether it's in this world or in hell." ”
Pirates are unrestrained people. Despite the sadness of parting, several people sent Thatch off, and the three of them drank until midnight with a wooden barrel, without any ceremony. Kenway was already drunk and lying on the table.
Thatch put down the barrel and got up to leave.
"In such a hurry?"
Thatch paused for a long time before he spoke, "Take good care of that kid, he's still too young." ”
With that, Thatch left the bar directly. Amami watched as his Queen Anne's Revenge slowly left Nassau and headed north.
