Ah，sì，l＇unicodifanteria-poveromendicante…… (Ah, yes, only the infantry is left - poor beggar...... ）

- Plautus (Roman comedy writer)

In the top room of the Morgan, Captain Morgan sat in the center of the round conference table; On the left are Captain Kidd, Captain Blackbeard, Captain Anne Bowley, Captain BlackSam, and Captain Roberts; On the right are Calico Jack, the Redbeard Brothers, Francis Reddeck, and Zheng Shi.

The silence of the people and the smoke from the male captains made the atmosphere of the entire conference room more and more dull; After a long time, Blackbeard, who was most brave and brutal, said impatiently: "Don't be like a girl and don't speak; Today, I'm here to discuss countermeasures, not to have dinner. If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you don't say anything, you will disperse! ”

As soon as these words came out, Captain Anne, who was scantily clad and hot-tempered, and had always had a hot temper, immediately retorted: "What do you mean to be like a girl and not speak? Why, women are just not as sloppy and dirty stinky men as you guys, are they? If we have the ability, let's go out immediately and start a good fight, otherwise we can draw our swords and duel, do you dare? Black sheep! ”

Anne's words made Blackbeard, who was already impatient, suddenly irritable, especially as soon as the word black sheep came out; A duel or fight today is almost inevitable. And Calico Jack on the side also provoked in a weird way: "Edward, your Blackbeard's reputation is terrifying to the whole Mediterranean; If the title of the black sheep spreads again today, then you will laugh at the Mediterranean. “

Anne, who was just angry at Blackbeard, suddenly pulled out the long sword at her waist and pointed at Calico Jack and scolded: "You stinky and shameless slut! I haven't settled accounts with you yet, I haven't settled accounts with you about escaping on the battlefield, you don't want to hide your head in your crotch, and you dare to come out and provoke your mother; Today, the old lady will chop your dog's head with a sword first! “

With that, Anne raised her sword and stabbed it at Calico Jack; Calico Jack also refused to show weakness, pulled out his long sword and fought against Anne. Blackbeard sneered on the sidelines and watched Anne and Calico Jack as they fought with the other pirate captains; Captain Kidd, who has always been known as a good old man, and Captain Bellamy, known as the Pirate Prince, dissuade the two of them from outside the warband.

The meeting room was in a mess, which disrupted all the thoughts of Captain Morgan, who had been thinking about a way out; The chaos and disunity within the pirates also worries Captain Morgan. In the end, Captain Morgan, who couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the broad axe behind his back and slapped the round table heavily; He said to everyone who was stunned by the loud noise, "Are we here today to get it to settle personal grievances?" I know that each of you has your own little calculations, and there are even those who have a grudge against other captains; But now we have come to the point of life and death. Can't we put aside these petty calculations and grievances for the sake of our own fate and that of our brethren? Isn't the lesson of the Sicilian pirates, who were at their peak enough?

Although we all rob this sea under the banner of Sicilian pirates; But how many of us were really born Sicilian pirates? Since the Sicilian pirates, who were so strong that they established their own countries and city-states, could be completely wiped out, let alone those of us? Can our so-called top ten pirates add up to the main fleet of any Sicilian pirate back then? ”

Captain Morgan's years of pirate leadership and prowess restored calm to the messy conference room, and even the hot-tempered Captain Anne put down her duel with Calico Jack and sat back in her seat. All the pirate captains turned their gaze to Captain Morgan; Although every pirate captain here has his own ideas, and all have his own hatred for others; However, everyone maintained a certain amount of respect for Captain Morgan, who was the most powerful and the oldest.

Seeing that everyone had settled down, Captain Morgan did not need to say anything more, but took out a square package wrapped in cotton cloth from his bosom. After placing the package on the round table, Captain Morgan turned the cotton cloth open little by little, revealing a brown book with yellow pages; As soon as he saw the book, everyone present except for the black baronet Roberts began to breathe heavily.

Looking at the performance of the crowd, Morgan was satisfied; As for Roberts's indifference, it was because Morgan had given him the book for a period of time. The eager and enthusiastic eyes of the crowd made Morgan feel the wisdom of convening this meeting; So, Morgan met everyone's eyes and said calmly:

"Yes, this is the Code of Pirates written by the four founders of the Sicilian pirates, Bacharo, Muair, Bordeaux and Guis! I know you've heard a rumor; Rumor has it that whoever obtains the Pirate Code will have the power to rule over all pirates and eventually gain the riches of a nation that rivals the riches!

So, you've all thought of the Pirate Code as a treasure map; Just get this treasure map to get the ancestral treasure of the Sicilian pirates who were at their peak, and then get the wealth of the rich nation and the countless warships they left behind, and get the allegiance of all the pirates, right? You are wrong. Now that the Pirate Code is in my hands, why didn't I get the riches and the warship?

And will you, captains, be loyal to me for the sake of this book? These are all rumors and rumors from the outside world. The real "Pirate Code" is actually the law formulated by the four Sicilian pirate ancestors to regulate piracy; It is the supreme rule dedicated to the regulation of piracy. Do you know why the Sicilian pirates perished? Because they have abandoned this code and become outright greedy! ”

After speaking, it doesn't matter whether the pirate captains here believe it or not; Captain Morgan put the "Pirate Code" in front of him, page by page. The entire Pirate Code is only fifteen pages, and each page is only ten numbers; But every word is written vigorously and powerfully, and at first glance it is from the hand of a famous artist. And Bacharo, one of the four pirate ancestors, Bacharo, Muair, Bordeaux, and Gais, is a great calligrapher!

The Code of Pirates: Page 1: "The Code of Laws is supreme. - Bacharo, Muair, Bordeaux, Qas. Page 2: Poseidon's Trident, which are forbidden weapons because they are too powerful and dangerous. Page 2: Allow each person or team to buy and sell freely to make a profit. Page 3: Everyone has an equal right to vote on all matters in daily life.

Page 4: Those who steal their accomplices' property will be abandoned on a desert island. Page 5: Gambling on board is strictly prohibited. Page 6: Lights out at 8 p.m. sharp. Page 7: No unclean weapons are allowed, and everyone is to scrub his bow and arrows and swords and spears at all times. Page 8: Children are not allowed on board, and those who seduce women die. Page 9: Death to those who escape.

Page 10: Private fights are strictly forbidden, but duels may be fought in the presence of a notary, and the person who kills his companion is to be tied to the dead and thrown into the sea. Page 11: Those who have been crippled in battle can stay on board without work and receive 8 gold coins from the "Public Savings". Page 12: When the spoils of war are divided, the captain and helmsman shall be divided into two parts, the crossbowmen, the cook, the doctor, and the boatswain shall be divided into one and a half parts, the other employed personnel shall be divided into one and a quarter of a part, and the ordinary sailors shall be given one point each.

Page 13: Weak pirates need to obey powerful pirates without affecting their own interests. Page 14: Powerful pirates can expand themselves in this way, but they are not allowed to attack pirates. Page 15: Pirate captains need to consider the interests and ideas of the pirates under their command at all times.

Fifteen pages of the Pirate Code, the first two of which are the advice of the four pirate ancestors; The middle ten pages are the captain's standard for dealing with the affairs of a pirate ship; The last three pages are the rules of pirate and pirate interaction. In fact, the entire "Pirate Code" is basically a system that pirates need to abide by together; It's just that there are no pirates anymore to obey it.

After everyone watched it, Morgan could also see the disbelief in the eyes of most of the people present; Morgan had no choice but to explain: "I know that most of you don't believe in this "Pirate Code", and you all think that it is me Morgan who is secretly using fakes to deceive everyone. But, really not! Personally, I think that the essence of this Code of Pirates is the law listed on these fifteen pages.

If every one of us pirate captains could do what is described in the Pirate Code, wouldn't we soon be strong? Does this mean that we can gain more wealth and become more and more powerful pirate captains? So, I think the point of the Pirate Code is to make each of our pirate captains strong, and that's what makes a real pirate strong. ”

There were only four people who actually listened to Morgan; The first was Captain Roberts, who had kept it for a while and perfected the Code of Pirates himself, so he understood that the true meaning of the Code was what Morgan said. The second is Captain Kidd, because he has never believed in the treasures of pirate ancestors, and he is forced to become a pirate; Therefore, he did not believe that Captain Morgan would lie to everyone, and he did not believe that there was really a treasure.

The third is Captain Anne, for whom being a pirate is meant to stimulate and unleash her nature; It doesn't matter if there is treasure or not, so what is there to believe or not to believe in? You can spend your days leisurely while being happy and revenge. On the last day, Zheng Shi from the East, who did not think that the so-called Sicilian pirate ancestors could create more wealth than Egypt; Moreover, what she needs now is not treasure, but survival.

As for the others, it's a heart-to-heart belly.
