The leather bag was heavy, and it could be judged from the crisp sound coming from inside that it was a bag of silver coins.

Wang Hao was suddenly a little moved, as if what he was holding in his hand was not a bag of silver coins, but a man's dream.

So he couldn't help but say, "Then don't settle down so early, come with me to Port Royal!" Go live the life you want! Free and uninhibited! Maybe we can really form a group, 'Demon Gemini' remember? I just so don't have a quartermaster! ”

"Oh! Oh, God! It looks like it's going to be another exciting adventure! Bonnet's eyes lit up when Wang Hao said, and he paced a few steps in place excitedly, but then shrank again, "No...... No, I'm a husband, I have my responsibilities to bear, and life can't be all about debauchery and escape! ”

"Okay." Wang Hao put a hand on Bonnet's shoulder, "One day, I will become the man who resounded in this sea." If you change your mind, come to me! ”

"Of course!"

No more words, no more promises, two guys who don't know anything about pirate life, just on the dirty city streets, half-jokingly and half-seriously, make bold promises.

Then the two went their separate ways, just because at this time, their goals were diametrically opposed.

……

Port Royal, the shipping center of the Caribbean, the famous natural deep-water port, a very important strategic location, a favored refuge for marauders and pirates, and the most populous city in the 'New World'.

The colonists looted a large amount of gold and silver treasure in the 'New World' and shipped it back to Europe by ship.

Port Royal, on the other hand, was a must for these merchant ships.

After taking control of this important port, the British began to recruit pirates to fight against the powerful Spanish navy at the time. For a time, it became the largest gathering place for pirate fleets in the history of the world at that time, and it became the capital of pirates.

The gold, silver and jewels looted by the pirates were piled up here, and sometimes the ships of gold and silver could not be unloaded, so they had to wait outside the harbor.

Here, everyone, whether politicians, soldiers, wealthy businessmen or civilians, knows an unwritten rule: never ask you where your goods came from, let alone who their previous owners were.

They knew that the goods brought by the pirates were ill-gotten gains, but in order to make a fortune, they still did not refuse to come.

All sorts of people came here with the intention of making a fortune. Dutch, British, French, German, Nordic, Spanish, Portuguese, Irish, African, mulatto, all sorted. They opened hotels, inns, restaurants, inns, and brothels to satisfy the pirates' extravagant lives.

It has been called 'the most wicked city in human history' and the most depraved city, with almost no industry in the entire city except for the shipyards. But the people here can enjoy the most luxurious material life. Chinese silk, Indonesian spices, and British industrial products are all available. Of course, the most abundant are gold, silver and jewelry.

Wang Hao has been here for three months.

During these three months, he befriended countless pirates and privateers, including some of the most famous pirates in the Caribbean, but he still did not become a real pirate himself.

It's not that he didn't dare to go to sea to rob, in fact, the reason is very simple - Wang Hao doesn't have a ship.

Only with a real ship that can withstand the storm can you recruit a crew and go to sea to plunder. Otherwise, you can only go to the pirate recruitment office set up in the tavern for an interview, and then you have a chance to board the pirate ship and become a pirate.

That's right, it's the interview. Moreover, after the interview is completed and both parties are satisfied, a document similar to a labor contract will be signed to ensure that the rights and interests of both parties are not violated.

Wang Hao was stunned when he first came here!

He was amazed to find that the pirates were recruiting in the same way as the companies in the real world were recruiting. And all the choices are two-way, definitely not like in the game, and you can find dozens of sailors who are willing to risk your life for you by walking around the tavern.

Although Wang Hao was an Oriental, his skillful seafaring knowledge and the fact that he had won the entire tavern drunk on the first day he came here still brought him into the sight of many pirate captains.

But again, based on Wang Hao's status as an Oriental, he has not been able to attract any sponsorship in Port Royal for so long, and he cannot own his own ship through conventional means.

That's right, it's to pull sponsorship. This is the second amazing thing about the fact that some experienced captains, or newcomers, are able to earn a boat for themselves by soliciting sponsorship. Recruit a few more sailors and you'll be able to start your own raiding path.

And it is worth mentioning that neither the recruitment of sailors, nor the nautical routes, nor even the investors of the target of the plunder, will raise any objections. But correspondingly, investors will have a right, that is, the right to sell stolen goods. The captains of the ships can only sell the stolen goods with the person designated by the investor. As for how to negotiate the price, it depends on the means of both parties.

But most of this is for some famous pirate captains, and most of them have a 'privateer license' to attract investment.

As for buying a boat yourself, it's even more unreliable.

You must know that in this golden age of piracy, ships, as the most important means of transportation, have always been priceless, and it is difficult to buy them with money.

In particular, the New World has a large number of towering trees suitable for shipbuilding, but there is a lack of docks and craftsmen who can build ocean-going ships.

Some pirates even started out by adding masts, sails and guns to some of the larger canoes, and adding planks to the sides of the ships to raise the freeboard. It was crowded with dozens of people, robbing passing merchant ships in the offshore area.

However, Wang Hao is not in a hurry, anyway, after his many inquiries, Port Royal has just changed to a governor surnamed Swann and a naval colonel named Norrington, which shows that there is still a long time before the plot begins.

Speaking of which, Wang Hao had to scold Colonel Norrington: Elizabeth is still a little Lori with freckles, you have been thinking about it since you were so young, beast!

Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar and arrogant voice came from downstairs: "Come, you soft eggs, come and arrest me, come!" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Hao's mouth, he didn't expect to meet many acquaintances today.

He poked his head out and saw a tall guy with a thick black beard on his face, who was yelling at a man in a red navy uniform with a fierce face as he pushed and shoved his hands.

The intimidated naval soldiers, who did not have the majesty of the Royal Navy of the British Empire at all, were squeezed into the corner and would only dodge to the side, and finally found an opportunity and ran out of the tavern.

"Hahaha, hurry up, little baby, go back to your mother and cry!" At this time, the more decently dressed man next to the beard also spoke, and his tone was as mean as ever.
