The route to Kingston was not very close, and it took about half a month for the average merchant ship to travel from Nassau, which also gave pirates a lot of opportunities. Because once there is a headwind or no wind, this time will be extended indefinitely.

The pirates flocked to the sea, heading south to Kingston, and they would spread the word on the seas, with more pirates joining them.

The ships carrying heavy treasures of various countries were all escorted by battleships, and the routes were unknown, and the pirates were like a plate of loose sand that they did not dare to provoke, but they were only privateers, armed merchant ships or fishing ships, like walking fat.

Of course, this was the naïve idea of a captain who had never exchanged fire with the Jackdaw.

The pirates sailed south to catch up with the ship on Kingston's route, but Gordon had no plans to go to Kingston at all, heading west for Tulum.

Tulum is located on the coast of the Caribbean Sea, in the northeastern part of the Yucatan Peninsula, which is also something that surprised Gordon a little.

"How do I remember it's an island?"

When he marked the coordinates given by Mary on the map, his eyes flashed with thought, wondering if the world was different, or if he remembered it wrong?

But it just so happened that this voyage to the west would pass through Havana, where he remembered that he seemed to have undug treasure.

"Two crooked neck trees, let me look at them again...... A windmill to the west, under the stones. ”

Havana still has his parents at home, and he is a little hesitant in his heart, he said goodbye because of Edward's affairs, and Havana belongs to Spain, and now he belongs to the British privateers, and the two countries are ready to go to war, and he is not sure if the Jackdaw's entry into the port will be welcomed by the fortress's fifty-pounder guns.

Now if his identity is revealed, someone knows that he is the son of Oliver's family, which may bring great danger to his family, besides, he also assassinated the governor of Havana, and it is really heartbreaking to return to that land.

As for the treasure, it was not enough for him to take such a big risk.

"I just hope it doesn't cause anything else. ”

......

On the fifth day of the voyage, in the northern waters of Havana, he met a warship flying the British flag, and after spotting the Jackdaw, he approached directly.

"Captain Gordon, it's a blessing. ”

A young colonel removed his white gloves and threw them to the adjutant aside.

The young soldiers, with their guns on their backs, quickly entered the deck of the Jackdaw, and cleared the irrelevant sailors aside, leaving only Gordon, the first mate, and the boatswain.

The sailors of the Jackdaw, a little agitated, were hostile to this act, and even a little impatient, and shook their scimitars and muskets.

But the colonel seemed to have become commonplace, and did not care, or had enough confidence in his soldiers.

"Your ship is different from other privateers. ”

He looked at and praised the ship, and although it seemed polite, he never gave his name all the time, and behaved like a general who had come to inspect it.

Of course, there are very few regular warships that can look up to privateers, pirates who were burned and plundered, but eventually pardoned by the kingdom.

"I don't know what to do, Colonel?"

Gordon didn't have too many expressions, no matter how unhappy he was, he could only press it in his heart, the British Navy, as the hegemon of the sea, naturally had his proud capital.

"Actually, it was just a coincidence, I saw the name of the ship from afar, and I just wanted to meet the famous Captain Black Cat. ”

"With all due respect, Colonel, I don't think I'm famous. ”

"Captain Gordon, the Kingdom has officially declared war on Spain, and the Imperial Navy has officially issued a call for all privateers, ordering them to go to Port Royal as soon as they receive the order to prepare for battle. ”

The Colonel's voice fell, and he looked at Gordon's expression expectantly, that stupid expression.

Almost all of the privateers were overjoyed at the news, and as long as the war was not over in the short term, he could plunder the poor Spanish merchant ships to his heart's content, stuff them with gold, and splurge them on a splendour.

These short-sighted people never imagined that after the end of the war, the British Empire's supremacy on the seas would be unbreakable, and the privateers would be doomed.

"I know, I'm going to go to Port Royal when I have enough men. ”

Gordon's reaction was different from what he had imagined, frowning thoughtfully, which made a difference in his opinion.

"Actually, I have a personal question, the prison in Lisbon was attacked by unknown persons, do you know who it was? It is said that your ship was docked there at the time, and then set sail in a hurry that night. ”

The Colonel's gaze was a little more serious than the initial smile.

Gordon's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat in an instant, but his expression did not show the slightest: "The colonel thinks I did this?"

"No, I'm just asking. ”

The colonel grinned, but his expression was more subtle.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't know about it because I was in a hurry because of the Kingdom mission. ”

Gordon shook his head, indicating that he had no idea.

"I see, sail well, Captain, goodbye to Port Royal. ”

The colonel didn't say anything, just turned around and left with the soldiers stepping on the planks.

It wasn't until the battleship retracted the planks and the two ships raised their sails again and set sail that Allen on the side couldn't help but speak: "Our affairs are exposed?"

"Just knocking, my first mate, as long as they don't have any substantial evidence in their hands, it is impossible to convict me. ”

Gordon took a deep breath, and sure enough, the eyes and ears of the empire were all over the place, even every move that happened in Lisbon was under control.

"We need to speed things up, the big game is coming, and we need to get to Tulum within a week. ”

Gordon's frown was not that he foresaw the end of the privateers, but more about the casualties of the war, the Jackdaw was short of twenty men, and more than a dozen were novices.

"All sailors return to their posts and sail full!" he gripped the oath sword at his waist, as if he had seized some kind of opportunity at the same time.

"Captain's order, sail on!"

"Sail pilots climb up for me......"

"Pull it up!"

......

Gordon pushed open the door of the captain's room with his thoughts, this war may be another opportunity, a chance to get close to power.

"Evan, what are we going to have for dinner?

A crisp female voice pulled his thoughts back to reality, and a bored Andrea was sitting on the bed bored.

"I think there might be......"
