Merchants or pirates from all over Europe know that in the Caribbean in the New World, there is a special place, it is a port city, a free trade port that is open to the outside world in principle. The port managers never ask the source of the ships that come here, whether it is a ship that berths for supplies or sells goods, or sells something shady and so on!

It's Tetuga, or, you can call it: Turtle Island!?

It was one of the most notorious pirate trading ports of the 17th century, where pirates and sea privateers often engaged in criminal activities such as selling, selling or recruiting new pirates, and smuggling sensitive goods.

Of course, it's also a gathering place for all sorts of down-and-out people, where you'll find retired or forced retiring former navies, drunkards, unemployed people from all walks of life, scoundrels, ruffians, outlaws, prostitutes, bankrupt shipowners, and more, all of whom are ideal pirate reserves, and where you can recruit anyone you want, as long as you have the money!

Then, as long as you have a boat that's not too bad, they'll be ready to go out to sea with you!

After all, becoming a pirate is a very lucrative and wealthy career for them, and it is well worth the risk of being hanged!

Of course, the premise is that you must have enough courage and skill to dominate them, otherwise, the tragic fate of the famous Captain Jack Sparrow back then is a good example!

"Hey! Man, have you heard? I heard that the British Port Royal has been occupied by a group of mysterious people! They are also completely open to the port and do not charge any additional taxes! ”

In a noisy and noisy bar, three smuggling captains gather in a corner and muttered something about rum.

This mixed gold cave is a good place for these outlaws who are begging for a living at sea to have fun and exchange information. After everyone had drunk a lot of wine, a one-eyed captain said mysteriously to the other three:

"Moreover, it is said that not long ago, when the British's Caribbean Fleet went to attack, the dozens of warships, large and small, were all wiped out!"

“……”

"Capture Port Royal? And annihilated the Caribbean Fleet? How is this possible? When did this happen? Which country did it? ”

A bearded captain next to him wiped a handful of wine stuck to his beard and asked with a shocked expression.

He had just smuggled a batch of spices and silk, a specialty of the East, from the East Indies to Turtle Island to sell, and made a lot of money.

After all, in this era when there is no radio and information is completely transmitted by people and ships, he cannot receive any information at sea smuggling.

Besides, he didn't dare to do anything like casually stopping at the official port for supplies or asking for news, once he entered the official port, those vampire-like port officials, after seeing his goods, had to force him to pay a huge amount of taxes!

"I've vaguely heard others talk about this thing, could it be that the Spanish navy did it? They declared war on Britain again? ”

Another bald Frenchman next to him, the owner of an armed merchant ship, also came up.

Although nominally, he is running the normal specialty trade, but the other two people at the same table with him know that this guy is a ruthless bastard!

As long as he encounters a slightly weaker merchant ship in a remote area of the sea, he can immediately open the cannon door, change the flag, and then turn around and become a professional pirate ship, and, even more terrifyingly, after he succeeds, he never leaves a mouth alive!

"Except for the Spaniards, I'm afraid there are few countries that dare to attack the British, right?"

The bald guy has only heard the news, and he has always guessed that the Spaniards did it, because, in the Caribbean, it is only the Spaniards who have the ability to compete with the British Caribbean Fleet, and other countries are completely inadequate!

In his mind, even if he gathered all the pirate ships in the Caribbean, he was afraid that he would not be brave enough to fight the British navy, right?

"Nope! You guessed it wrong, it wasn't the Spaniards who did it! The little strength of the Spaniards in the Caribbean was not enough for the British! So, you might as well guess? ”

The one-eyed captain cracked his mouth full of yellow teeth and looked triumphantly at the two men with curious expressions.

Obviously, they don't know this news yet, so it seems that he can use this news to mix in a free meal of wine to drink?

"Not Spaniards? Could it be the Dutch? That's impossible! They don't have the guts! As for us French, it's even more impossible! ”

The bald guy thought about it, but still couldn't guess it.

When the most likely Spaniard was denied, he really couldn't figure out which country had the guts to do such a thing. As for whether it was possible that some pirate did it, he didn't think about it at all.

She knows the pirates' situation very well! They will also be able to rob merchant ships at sea for a while, and want them to go to land to fight the regular army? Hehe, it's not funny at all!

"Don't be verbose, hurry up, tell me about it? Who did it? ”

The bearded captain took a sip of the rum from his glass, patted the table, motioned for the bartender to continue serving, and then looked at the one-eyed dragon across the table with a disgruntled expression.

It's just interesting news, as for such a hidden thing? It's not a lucrative business, so there's no need to whet the appetite of the two of them.

"Haha! You can't figure it out, can you? ”

The one-eyed dragon smiled smugly again, and then mysteriously approached the two of them.

"I tell you, actually, it's a witch! When the witch did it! And ......"

After seeing that neither of them could guess, Captain One-Eyed didn't sell much, and quickly said the news he knew with a cruel smile.

When he heard all this, he couldn't believe it, so he made a special trip to Port Royal and witnessed it all!

"Witches? You must be joking, it's completely impossible! ”

When the expectant beard heard this, he grabbed a large bottle of rum and filled his glass, and waved his hand to interrupt what the one-eyed dragon was about to say.

In his opinion, a witch or something, at most, just play with animal entrails, venom, and then dress up herself in a weird way, or curse to cheat money! A little more powerful, maybe it can predict something in the future? Fiddling with some crystal balls? That's the end of it, right?

Still want to conquer the city and annihilate a fleet? It's completely impossible!

"Hah! That's right, it can't be a witch who did it, you must be joking, right? ”

When the bald man heard this, he shook his head, leaned back in his chair, and shook his head at the one-eyed dragon and smiled.

He knew the most powerful witch, the one named Tia? Torma's?

But even if it's that Tia? The witch of Torma, she's just chattering all day long, and she doesn't see how powerful she is, but she just fiddles with some witchcraft that he can't understand.

It is said that there is still a powerful existence sealed in her body? However, this is just a legend, not necessarily true.

As for the other witches? The bald guy thinks that the most they can do is dissect the frogs, and then predict some unreliable things or sea conditions based on the color of their internal organs and the like? That's it at most!

Otherwise, the Church would not have easily burned so many witches over the years, and those witches who were burned did not even have the strength to resist the persecution of the Church, so what could they use to confront the regular army with muskets, cannons and giant ships?

"I really didn't lie to you! I dare to swear in the name of God! ”

Seeing that the two of them still didn't believe it, the one-eyed dragon was anxious, and hurriedly swore an oath.

"And I've seen it with my own eyes! Including how they defeated the incoming British Caribbean Royal Fleet! Because, I was in Port Royal at the time, and I saw it with my own eyes, I swear! ”

"Besides, how can such a thing be fake? After a while, it will definitely spread throughout the Caribbean! ”

As soon as he remembered the first time he saw those witches, the one-eyed dragon's face changed, and he was full of solemnity.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if it was him, I'm afraid he wouldn't easily believe that a group of witches actually had such terrifying means, right? Especially their leader, what is Charlotte's? The other party is not only beautiful, but when he flies up and attacks, that kind of terrifying power is something he could never have imagined before!

"Wouldn't it? Witch...... How is this possible? ”

The bald guy and the bearded man looked at each other, then slowly sat up straight and came up again.

"Then tell us what the situation was like at that time?"

The two of them still couldn't understand that the witch could capture a city and annihilate a fleet, and it didn't seem very reliable just by listening to it......

"Hey, hey! I told you, at that time, I had just arrived at Port Royal, and I had only been off the ship for a long time, and before I could make up my mind whether to take over the procurement task issued by the witch, the British Caribbean Fleet attacked, and that scene was really spectacular! ”

The one-eyed dragon began to talk about the day, which was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.

"That's dozens of warships...... I almost thought that the ship in the harbor was finished! But where did you think of it...... Belch? ”

The one-eyed dragon burped and was about to take two more sips from his glass, only to find that his own oak glass had already been emptied.

"Quick! Tell us about it! ”

When he heard the crucial moment, the itchy bald guy stood up diligently, picked up the wine bottle and poured a full glass for the one-eyed dragon, hoping that the other party would catch up with what had just happened.

"That's right! It's best to go back and forth in detail, starting with when you went to Port Royal, and I asked for the money for this meal! ”

The bearded captain patted his chest proudly, and very generously threw two golden coins on the table.

He had just sniffed out a business opportunity from the one-eyed dragon's words!

If everything is true, those witches, they would even issue procurement tasks?

When it comes to buying things, or smuggling or the like, it's his old business! He needs to get to know the witches who captured Port Royal and defeated the Royal Navy, and then find a chance to see if he can make any money.

If he can make money running transportation near the Caribbean Sea, he himself is not willing to run the trend business of ocean trade, it is like playing with his life! Those who have never run the far seas themselves can never imagine what kind of despair it is to face storms and disasters at sea!
