John didn't notice that after his ship gave the order to go to sea, many pirates had a different kind of sparkle in their eyes. Now that the island has been swallowed up by the plague, and will face the fire of an empire in the near future, how many people will choose to live and die with this city at this time? The city can be built again, as long as it chooses a good place, it will be restored in five years and ten years, but there is only one human life, and if you die, you will die. Thinking of this, many pirates also prepared to go to sea to escape the plague and stay away from the war. They go to sea for gold and pleasure, not for the city! As a result, there seems to have been a ripple effect, with many pirates who were still able to go to sea buying wine and food, preparing to leave Nassau and find another way out.

Vane looked at these departing pirate ships, and his heart could be imagined. After thinking for a while, he led his pirates out to sea. Of course, Vane, as the administrator of Nassau, naturally did not want to escape, he hoped to find a cure for the disease by robbing other ships. If you dispel the Grim Reaper entrenched in the sky above the city, and your reputation will rise to a point where others can't match, then when the navy arrives, you can lead the remaining pirates to engage the navy head-on, and when you defeat the navy, then whether it is Blackbeard or Hornigoth, you will be able to obediently listen to your own words.

Of course, John didn't know what happened in Nassau after that. Now John, with his crew, is heading towards Havana. Since most of the crew were from Havana, they were eager to add two more masts to the ship when they learned that they were about to return to their homeland. Of course, there was a slight hiccup in the voyage, as John removed the black flag from the mast because he didn't want to encounter the navy on the way back to Havana, and instead of the navy, he attracted two groups of pirates. These pirates who dared to target a battleship like John were naturally not ordinary goods, one of the pirates was not just a pirate ship, two of them appeared on both sides at the same time to open fire on John's ship, and when the crew removed the side gun shields on both sides and counterattacked the two pirate ships at the same time, John could see their stunned faces. After that, John led a group of pirates to sink the flagship of this pirate group without even boarding the ship.

Aside from these two episodes, the journey was relatively peaceful, except for one storm, which they met while they were repairing on an island. Although the wind and waves were high at that time, the small island where John docked had a natural harbor, and all the crew had no effect on the cave that John found on the shore, and even filled the barrels that had been drunk with beer and fresh water.

Back in Havana, John disbanded the fleet and let the sailors return to their homes. Sailors now have large sums of money on them, and they can pay off any debts they owe, and many sailors take silver coins home and give them to their parents or wives and children who are waiting at home. John approached a local drugstore through George and asked if there was any cure. Unfortunately, this agent is regulated by the state, and neither the Spanish nor the British merchant ships have this agent. John was not too disappointed, after all, he did not have the idea of having to find this potion, it was good to find it, and it was not bad to bring it back to Edward;

John had a silver coin in his hand, and naturally he would not squander it everywhere like a sailor. Thinking of the firepower of Blackbeard's "Queen Anne's Revenge", John decided to renovate his ship, which could not be solved in a day or two, so he told the sailors that if they were willing to wait, it would be fine, and if they didn't want to wait, they would follow the other ships to sea, and John would not force him to stay. The sailors, of course, knew that after praising John, they went their separate ways.

George looked at the sailors who left in twos and threes, and asked, "John, aren't you worried that they won't come back when you go to sea?" John shook his head: "Don't worry about these little things, the sailors will be recruited again before they come back, there is always no shortage of careerists in this era who hope to get rich overnight by going to sea, and when the time comes, as long as we go to sea, the sailors can line up from the Havana docks to the Doge's Palace." At this, John turned to look at George, "What about you, George, don't you go home and have a look?"

George shrugged, turned and leaned against the fence of the boat, picked up a bottle of rum from the side, and took a sip with his mouth: "I? I don't have a home to go back to." Even if I go back to the place where I grew up now, what awaits me will not be the soup cooked by my family, but the creditors who are waiting for me to go back because my grandparents owe money. Why should I go back? I don't know how many times I will come back in the future, so naturally I don't want to pay back. ”

John didn't care about George's family situation, he just asked casually, and when he heard George say this, he got off the boat: "That's right, you wait for me to come back on the ship, I'll go find the boatman, and see if we can add a few more guns to this ship." George didn't look back, leaning against the fence and waving his hand to show that he understood.

This time the repair suddenly stretched the time to September 1718, and John nodded as he looked at the 24 cannons scattered on either side of his ship. This time John not only increased the number of cannons on both sides by 4, but also strengthened the entire hull. While John was looking at the repaired ship with satisfaction, news reached Havana: Nassau had been captured by the British Navy, but before it could be captured, the great pirate Vane and his companions attacked the Imperial Navy's warships and escaped from the naval encirclement.

This is really important news. That is, now John doesn't have to go back to Nassau. But now there is a question, that is, where is Edward?

This was a big problem, and John suddenly had a headache: if there was no Edward, would he have to find the Observatory himself? But thinking of the previous world being broken and reorganized, it seems that Edward is fine, and should have escaped from Nassau. Since he was not killed in this war, the most likely place for Edward to go...... John sat in the tavern, with his chin on his hand, and listened to the merchant at the table next to him talk about the battle of Nassau, thinking. "If it's not here, it's supposed to be in ...... Greater Inagua. Remembering that he had met Edward in Great Inagua, and hearing him say that he owned real estate in Great Inagua, John decided where to try his luck. Maybe luck is on your side?

Thinking of this, John stood up and called out to George, who was chatting with the tavern maid next to him: "George, gather men, we are going to sea." ”
