When John's ship was about to reach the fortress, George stopped John: "Captain, we can't just go over like this. John was a little confused: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" George pointed to the Spanish flag still fluttering at the top of the mast and said, "We don't have a sign now, what are we going to do if they shoot us as the Spanish navy?" Stand there and wait for them to sink us, or do we have an artillery duel with them?"

Thinking of this, John crossed his hands to his chest and asked George, "Indeed, we need to have a flag that can represent us, otherwise no one will know about us." By the way, George, am I going to find an eyepatch to cover one eye, and then hold an iron hook in my left hand and put a parrot on my shoulder?" John scratched his head: "In other people's impressions, pirate captains, aren't they all like this?" "How is it possible?" George shook his head, "I've never seen a pirate dressed like that. You see, Captain Vane, Captain Titch, and Captain Edward are all famous pirates in the Caribbean, and I haven't seen any of them dressed up like this. It is possible to cover the eyes because of an eye injury, and it is possible that people are used to using iron hooks as weapons, but where do parrots come from?"

John thought about the classic pirate captain image in the rough stone world, and then thought about the pirates he met, and had to admit that George was right: "Okay, whether it's a parrot or an iron hook, let him go, let's talk about the pirate flag now." Well...... Do we have black cloth now? Let's not talk about the pattern of the representatives, hang the black flag first, and then we'll talk about what the flag is when we get back to the fort or Nassau. ”

Then a sailor came and gave John a torch: "Captain, go and light the flame that sent them away." John looked at the torch that had been handed to him, and then at the gunpowder scattered on the gunboat, and silently threw the torch on it. The gunpowder is ignited the moment the torch comes into contact with the gunpowder. The fire spread along the deck, and in a matter of moments it ignited the entire ship. John stood at the stern of the ship, watching the fireship farther and farther away from him. "Wait a little longer, and you'll be in the powder keg in the cabin. George, who was supposed to be at the helm, also came over to watch: "Die on the ship of the prey, and finally bury the bottom of the sea, this may be the fate of the pirates." ”

John ignored George and turned and walked straight into the cabin. Seeing that the goods were almost burned, George also crouched down and covered his ears with his hands. I only heard the sound of an explosion behind me, and even if I had driven some distance, I was still affected by the shock wave from the explosion, and the ship began to shake slightly. Even the crew members who usually have the most out-of-the-box personalities don't want to laugh at all. Although they said that they already knew, they still felt a trace of sadness when they saw the crew members who went to sea with them and the companions they grew up with sink to the cold bottom of the sea like this. But the sorrow came and went as quickly as it came, and before the ship could settle down from the rocking, everyone raised their glasses and cheered for the silver coins they had just received.

In this cheerful atmosphere, John climbed onto the lookout and lowered the Spanish flag that had been hanging on it, replacing it with a black flag without any patterns.

The ship slowly sailed towards the fortress, and as he had guessed, as soon as he saw the appearance of the fortress, John saw the traces of the battle, and the fortress's rock-solid fortifications had been shattered, even the powder room behind the fortifications could be seen. The firepower cannon on top of the fortress has also become iron slag, and not only the work of the pirate captain. Most importantly, like John's ship, the Spanish flag that had flown over the fortress had been replaced by a black pirate flag, and the black that swallowed all the light proclaimed the pirates' domination over the place.

It seems that the black flag on the mast has done its job, and the pirates, who had already been on guard, saw the black flag fluttering in the wind, put down the shells that were about to be stuffed into the chamber, and hurried to inform the captains who were drinking in the command room.

"Well, there's a navy warship flying a black flag coming this way?" Vane, who was pouring rum into his mouth, felt a little strange when he heard the news from his subordinates, put down the bottle and called Blackbeard and Edward next to him to prepare to go out. As he was about to leave, Edward turned around: "Mr. Commander, now we are going out for a while, please stay here quietly." As he spoke, he gestured to Adéwal next to him. Ade nodded, out of nowhere a few pirates came out, with rum and knives in their hands, and surrounded the head of the Order and his companions, preventing them from leaving the command room.

When he walked to the captain's door of the fortress battery, he saw the warship with the black flag that the crew said - in addition to his own pirate ship docked at the dock in the fortress waters, there was only one ship that drove straight towards the fortress from a distance, as long as he was not blind, he could find this ship at the first time.

Edward looked over with a telescope next to him. Soon, Edward made a discovery: although the fluttering black flag did not have any patterns on it that could be used to indicate identity, the man standing on the lookout was undoubtedly John.

Seeing this, Edward put down the binoculars in his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, it's our partner who has returned." "Partner?" Blackbeard was the first to speak, "What other partner do we have?" "It's John." He came back and replaced his original ship with this big guy, and it seems that he has not only stopped the naval reinforcements very well, but also made a big gain. Vane stood by and looked at the warship, "You mean that your companion not only repelled naval reinforcements, but also took a warship for himself? This sentence caused Blackbeard to be dissatisfied: "Vane, don't think that everyone is like you because of your incompetence. Let's go, since he is back, we must fulfill the promise we made before. ”

Soon, John saw someone on the shore come out to direct and dock the boat on the dock. As soon as the gangplank was set up, Edward ran down the gangplank and boarded the boat: "John, is this your new ship? John looked at Edward, who was looking east and west: "The original ship is no longer usable, but fortunately we captured this warship at the time and replaced it with this ship." ”
