The weather was fine on the day the Jackdaw departed.

The sky was clear and cloudless, the sea breeze was blowing, and seagulls were hovering at the top of the mast.

There were still quite a few people watching at the port, which was a rare thing for a new pirate group.

Zhang Heng also vaguely heard about what happened on the island in the past few days, and it is said that there are many casinos that set up gambling games for him and the Jackdaw's maiden voyage, betting on how much loot he can grab when he goes to sea for the first time, and the odds of getting nothing are the lowest, which also means that the vast majority of people are not optimistic about his debut.

After all, the performance and firepower of the ship do not represent everything, an excellent captain can win a battle against the wind, and an inexperienced newcomer like Zhang Heng has a high probability of burying a good situation.

Billy was the first to come, and as the helmsman of the Jackdaw, he had already arranged the work of the people and was ready to go to sea.

And Zhang Heng, as the captain, was the last to arrive, and he was followed by Anne.

Seeing the two of them walking towards the docks, many people whistled, if it weren't for the little fight that Anne had on the Golden Swallow, there had never been a precedent for a woman to become a pirate in Nassau before, let alone an important position like a boatswain, so today can be regarded as a historic moment.

However, considering that the two are now living in the same house, people can't help but think in a certain direction.

So when Zhang Heng and Anne appeared together, there was a foul language around them, people are such creatures, in fact, many people on the island have suffered at the hands of the red-haired girl, and know that her strength is extraordinary, but because of some dark psychology, everyone still prefers to believe that she sold her body in exchange for the position of boatswain, so everyone is quite looking forward to what will happen after she gets on the ship.

Jaime stood in the crowd with red eyes, angry and jealous, he was the first person to come into contact with Anne, who was still a rich lady who was ignorant of the world, living with her mother, and having unrealistic pirate dreams, it was he who lured and encouraged Anne to escape from home and come to Nassau with him, of course he knew what the real situation was like here, and when Anne ran out of money, and after running into a wall and cornering, there was only one way left to marry him.

He has coveted the red-haired girl for a long time, not only because of the other party's figure, but also because the latter's father is quite wealthy, although now the father and daughter are in the cold war, but when the two come to fruition, Anne is pregnant, her father must not ignore his grandson or granddaughter.

The first half of the plan went smoothly, although he was kicked after the showdown and almost lost his children, and Anne ran out of the place where he lived, but Jaime was still full of confidence, like most rebellious teenagers and girls, no matter where he ran, he still had to bow to reality, and when the penniless red-haired girl was hungry and had nowhere to hide from the rain, he would definitely come back obediently.

But he didn't expect another Zhang Heng to appear on the way, not only let Anne live in his own residence, but also solve her food and daily expenses by the way, James didn't believe that there would be such a good person on this island, then there was only one possibility - the other party had the same idea as him.

Jaime couldn't help but be shocked and angry when he learned that he had one more competitor, and wanted to confront Zhang Heng face to face, but when he learned that the latter was a person on the Sea Lion, Blackbeard's name was known to everyone in Nassau, and the crew who dared to move him must of course consider whether they could withstand his anger.

So after that, James only dared to secretly go to Annie after Zhang Heng went to sea, persuading the other party to leave the house and return to him, but the red-haired girl didn't seem to have such thoughts at all, and after a few times, James could obviously feel that Annie's disgust for himself was getting stronger and stronger, in fact, if it wasn't for the two of them who had been companions for a period of time before, and came to Nassau together, the red-haired girl's kick might have come a little earlier.

That afternoon, Jaime lay in the ridge for half an hour before he got up trembling again, and although he still did not give up, he also knew that he had little chance in the short term.

Now seeing the two walking together, Jaime is also the most heckling person in the crowd, and unlike other guys who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, he even scolded angrily, causing the people around him to look sideways frequently.

"I warned you," Zhang Heng said to Anne on the side, "You walk with me, and this kind of thing will happen." ”

The red-haired girl said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of, since I dare to let me be your boatswain, then how can I care about other people's opinions?" What's more, these guys only dare to take advantage of two sentences, none of them can fight, and they will naturally shut up when we return with a full load. ”

"Do you have that much confidence in me?"

"Because you have the strongest boatswain on the island."

“…………”

Billy and Di Freina were originally a little worried that Zhang Heng and Anne would be affected by those guys on the shore, but when they saw the looks of the two, they knew that they were too worried.

When the anchor was retracted and the sails were propped up, the Jackdaw sailed out of the harbor in the gentle sea breeze, and at this time, Billy was also standing in the middle of the deck, and glanced at Zhang Heng at the bow of the ship.

The latter nodded, and the helmsman of the Jackdaw clapped his palms, attracting the attention of all the sailors, "I got news on the shore that there is a Spanish merchant ship carrying a shipload of perfume on its way to New York, we all know how sought-after this thing is in demand in the New World, this is why we are willing to go to sea immediately, that ship is not far from us, if it goes well, we will be able to catch it in less than a week, if we can grab this shipment, each of us can get at least 100 silver coins, everyone work hard, Let's get our first win together! ”

The pirates were all geared up for this, and nothing appealed to them more than a fat prey, and the sailors on board were eager to jump into battle at once.

Billy was pleased with the good morale on board, but having been out to sea so many times, he knew very well that every time he set sail was the most morale of a ship, and as time went on, the dull life at sea would soon become boring and morale would drop, especially if he had not been able to find a target for a period of time, and the anxiety would spread among the crew, and that was the beginning of trouble.

Billy only wished the Jackdaw all the best on its maiden voyage.

Zhang Heng also returned to the captain's room after setting the course, and took out the necklace that Simon had given him from the drawer.
