Shipwreck Bay is an island with a very special geographical structure, surrounded by cliffs and only a narrow gap to enter and exit the bay.

The special geographical environment makes it an easy fortress to defend and difficult to attack, and with the natural defensive barrier, if there is enough food, pirates can gather here to defend for a lifetime.

However, considering their urine, a lifetime is too long, and a quilt is very likely!

Shipwreck Bay was not called this name in the early years, but after being discovered by pirates by chance, it was accumulated with shipwrecks and transformed into an island over hundreds of years, and later the Pirate Guild named this place Shipwreck Bay, and it became a sacred place in the hearts of all pirates.

All pirates who come here must abide by the pirate code, and it is strictly forbidden to fight personal vendettas, and if you want to duel, you can go outside the wreck bay, and no one cares if you fight your head and blood.

Barbossa, Jack, and Howling Wind moored their ships and headed straight for the Pirate Guild Hall, where the meeting took place.

Russell went to the meeting with Howling Wind in order to watch the excitement, accompanied by Elizabeth and Turner, one of whom had a vendetta against Lord Beckett for killing his father, and the other who wanted to rescue his father who was enslaved on the Flying Dutchman, and was very concerned about the outcome of the meeting.

As soon as they entered the hall, several people realized that they were late, and the other pirate kings had already arrived.

Old Barbossa was thick-skinned, ignoring the fire-breathing gaze of the pirates, cleared his throat and said, "As the convener of the meeting, I, Captain Hector Barbossa, announce the official opening of the Fourth Pirate Congress. ”

At the beginning of the meeting, all the pirate kings took their seats one by one, and the sacred pirate assembly was not to be desecrated, although they were dissatisfied, they could only press it for the time being and wait for the later to mention it.

"Captains, to prove your identity and power, please show me the ancient Spanish silver coins!"

It is said to be a Spanish silver coin, but it is actually a pile of broken copper and iron, such as the wooden eyeball of Barbossa, the pirate king of the Caspian Sea. The most valuable 'ancient silver coin' comes from Howling Wind, an elaborately carved piece of jade tied with a silk pendant from the ancient Orient, which stands out from the crowd of hillbillies.

These rags were forced by the times, Calypso did whatever he wanted on the sea, and the nine pirate kings were so poor that they couldn't open the pot, and they couldn't eat enough, so how could they have spare money to buy silver coins.

As for why the 'silver coin' in Xiaofeng's hand is extremely valuable, it can only be said that the Chinese have a good face, and they have to buy the token more upscale if they tighten their belts.

Time was pressing, and Barbossa, as the host of the meeting, began to cut to the main topic of the meeting, telling the East India Company that it was ambitious and posed a mortal threat to the pirates.

The East India Company plotted against the sea, and the pirates, who were accustomed to freedom, pursued and intercepted them all over the world, causing them to flee like rats crossing the street.

Whether it is money or human resources, the pirates are not as good as the East India Company's toes, and there is no way to enter the heavens and the earth, and they are either killed or sent to the gallows.

The sea is getting harder and harder, and more than half of the pirates have abandoned their ships and gone ashore to become bandits!

Since the birth of the lucrative profession of piracy, it has never been so miserable, and the limelight has intensified, and this is a critical period of survival.

The last sentence was not said by Barbossa, and it is possible to change it to Howling Wind, but in order to save the number of words, translating his words into classical Chinese probably means this.

After listening to Barbossa's brief account, the pirate kings were silent, they all understood this truth, otherwise they would not have come to the meeting.

The East India Company has cleaned up most of the pirates, and then it's time to take them as pirate kings, and now the nine pirate kings are gathered, if they can't come up with a charter to break the situation, the pirate guild will completely decline, and the rights and wrongs on the sea will have nothing to do with pirates in the future.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that many people still have a fluke mentality, thinking that they can escape this catastrophe by hiding in Tibet." Barbossa looked around at everyone and said in a cold tone: "But unfortunately, the disaster is coming, we can avoid it once, but we can't avoid it a second time, we can only face it." ”

"But the East India Company has the Royal Navy of Britain behind it, and we can't win against them......"

In the group of pirates, someone whispered that this was the truth, no matter how powerful the pirates were, it was impossible to defeat a huge empire, especially since this empire also had the most powerful fleet on the sea.

"We can hide in Shipwreck Bay, it's an impregnable fortress that the East India Company can't get into!"

"Then we will lose our freedom, and without freedom, will we still be pirates?"

"Life and freedom, what's wrong with choosing life?"

Several pirate kings quarreled with each other, except for political differences, more purely for the sake of raising the bar, and raising the bar for the sake of raising the bar.

That's right, they just don't like others!

"Captains, please listen to me."

Barbossa took off his shoes and slammed them on the table, and when the crowd had stopped arguing, he continued: "Captains, I have gathered you here because I have come up with a solution to this dilemma. ”

The pirates all shut their mouths when they heard this, and they were focused on hearing Barbossa's opinion, and now that the situation was rotten, they were powerless to stop it and were unwilling to die. They are the pirate kings, and the East India Company will never let them go, and they will eventually die. So, don't look at them who don't care on the surface, but in fact they are more anxious than anyone else.

Barbossa held up a finger: "There is someone who can help us change this situation and restore the sea to the days when piracy was in its prime." ”

"Who?"

"King George II of Britain!?"

Feeling everyone's eyes focused on him, Barbossa smiled mysteriously: "Goddess of the sea, Calypso!" ”

As the words fell, there was a brief silence in the hall and then a sudden explosion, they did not expect Barbossa to take the pirate's sworn enemy Calypso as a savior.

"This is ridiculous!"

"Calypso was sealed by the first generation of pirate kings, and although it has nothing to do with us, she is a goddess after all, and goddesses are cautious, and I don't think she would mind taking her anger out on us."

"Barbossa, you actually think of her, don't you know how cruel she is?"

There are those who reject this proposal, and there are naturally those who agree with it, and of course these people are also pessimistic and negative. Anyway, if you can't defeat the East India Company, sooner or later you will die, so it is better to release Calypso and bring the East India Company to the burial.

If the goddesses weren't as brutal as rumored, they might be rewarded with something like gold coins that sank to the bottom of the sea, or treasures on an uninhabited island.

"Don't be stupid, you're daydreaming, and once Calypso is released, we'll be the first people she'll kill."

"This debt was made by the first generation of pirate kings, and it has nothing to do with us!"

"Calypso wouldn't think so, there's no reason for her to help me deal with the East India Company."

"How do you know if you don't try it?"

"If you try, you'll die, you stupid pig!"

"How dare you call me a stupid pig, are you provoking me?"

"That's right!"

“……”

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and it soon evolved from a quarrel to a full-fledged martial arts, and for a while, shoes and spit flew all over the sky...... Dance, no Xiang, at least not yet.

The chaotic hall is like a court of the same period, the battle situation is very tragic, quarrels, angry scolding, fists and kicks, even if you hide in a place where no one is, one is accidentally hit by a flying prop.

"Incredible, they're crazy......" Elizabeth was dumbfounded, pirates are indeed vulgar synonyms, but what about this meeting, can you be serious.

Barbossa got used to it and replied: "Study hard, the political class has begun." ”

"Huh, politics is fighting?"

"It's called war, to be exact, they're fighting for their own interests!"

The deep meaning of Barbossa's words is the sum of years of life experience, Elizabeth is too young to understand the 'Sabeth' in her name alone, and she continues to watch in amazement.

The scene was out of control for a while, Barbossa did not stop it, rather than thanklessly stopping the quarrel, it was better to wait for them to stop when they were tired of arguing, and it was more convenient for the meeting to go on when they ran out of strength.

The pirate kings are all human spirits, and when they came to the meeting, they all knew that a pirate emperor would be elected this time, and they were not convinced by each other, and neither of them wanted to obey the command of others, and now they quarreled and fought to show their strength and gain enough prestige to vote later.

The first two pirate conventions failed to elect the Pirate King, and the situation was similar to now, and it was difficult to find someone who would convince everyone.

In the corner of the hall, Russell saw a pirate, dressed in a gorgeous red captain's suit, smoky makeup, braided beard, and made of the same mold as Jack, playing a wooden guitar, like a rock star.

Jack's father, the retired Pirate King, is now the legendary pirate in charge of the Pirate Codex - Teague Sparrow!

On this sea, if there is really such a person who can make the escaped Jack honest, it can only be him.

Russell sensed the aura of magic in him, and his intuition told him that this old pirate who played the guitar was even stronger than David Jones.

Russell secretly recalled that Teague had very few appearances in the original books, and was a very mysterious character who had great prestige among pirates.

Sure enough, the pirates argued, and one of them offended the pirate code, claiming it was a joke, only to be shot by Teague and his pirate king didn't even let a fart out.

"The Codex is supreme!"

The group of pirate kings sat down quietly, their eyes fixed on Barbossa, waiting for him to continue the meeting.

Barbossa pursed his lips, Teague's appearance made him stressed, he once robbed Jack's boat, for fear that Lao Tzu would seek revenge for his son.

"Now, according to the Code, the vote for the Pirate Emperor will begin, and it will be up to him to decide whether to liberate the sealed Calypso!"

The registered vote began, except for the finale, everything else was very formal, fair, just and open!
