Chapter 217: A Mixed Brotherhood
"By the way, how are the others? It's been so long since I left last time, and I've only seen you with a familiar face. ”
Of course, Wang Hao didn't know the little abacus in Benjamin's heart, and then asked casually.
"Bellamy's fellow has gone north, as he has always done on his journey, starting from Nassau and going north until his cabin is full. Cotton Jack and his two chicks are back in the south, where they will be more comfortable living there. ”
Benjamin pursed his lips, seeming unhappy with Cotton Jack's misfits.
"I don't know where the others are, and they're not obligated to tell me. Fortunately, they had promised me that they would return to Nassau with ships full of cargo and hungry sailors, so that I was satisfied. You have to take things slowly, one step at a time, don't you? ”
"Haha, you can see it!" Wang Hao lifted the wine bottle in his hand and shook it at Benjamin, "A glass to you, buddy." But you're a respectable fellow, and you haven't been to sea for Nassau's sake! ”
Benjamin grabbed the wine glass in front of him, touched it with Wang Hao, raised his head, and drank the wine in the cup in a few sips.
Wiping a handful of wine stuck to his beard, he stood up, leaned against the fence of the terrace, squinted in the direction of the sea breeze, lifted a small half of the rum in his hand, and sighed softly, "Yes, it's been seventeen months!" But I don't think it's a pity! ”
The bottle in his hand knocked on the fence a few times, Benjamin drank the wine in the bottle, and with a hard flick of his right hand, the bottle was thrown straight off the cliff, and within a few seconds there was a crisp sound of the bottle breaking.
Then Benjamin spread his hands, pointed to the harbor in the distance, and said: "Look at Nassau now, there are new changes almost every day, especially after the sinking of the place abandoned by God, countless warriors from the sea come to Nassau every day, and even many craftsmen come to settle here. Did you know that two months ago, a large amount of money was poured into this barren place in the New World? And Tortuga has never had such a thing! Do you know what this indicates? This shows that Nassau is more than just a pirate colony, and that she will later become, no, beyond Port Royal's existence! ”
Looking at Benjamin, who was already in a state of madness in front of him, Wang Hao shook his head, also stood up and leaned against the fence, and reminded vaguely: "Okay, okay, I know your hard work for Nassau, and I also understand how great the potential here is." I just hope that you don't make a wedding dress for someone else. ”
However, Benjamin, who was thinking wildly at the moment, didn't listen to anything Wang Hao said at all, or that he himself had considered these issues, but finally put them down.
"Forget it, I've said it many times, and I can't help it if you don't listen to it!"
Seeing Benjamin like this, Wang Hao was also very helpless, he turned his head, his eyes swept over the pirates who were sitting on the side eating and drinking and making noise, and frowned slightly.
"Also, when will these unruly guys be able to enter and exit this tavern at will, do they really think of themselves as some kind of characters!"
Wang Hao did not suppress his voice, because in his eyes, these guys were indeed just some pirates who did not enter the stream.
Although from the perspective of the current world, they are the purest, most real, and most common pirates.
Compared with them, Wang Hao, the type who looks down on life and death and does not accept it, and the type who will scold the navy warships if he disagrees, and Jack Sparrow, who roams the sea in a clipper every day, neither robbing merchant ships nor digging for treasures, are the outliers among pirates.
But that still doesn't change Wang's view of them and his concern about Benjamin's short-sightedness.
Wang Hao has clearly pointed out more than once that if there are pirates who want to come to Nassau, they are naturally welcome. However, if you want to join the 'Brotherhood of the Coast' and become a full member of the Pirate Republic of Nassau, you must go through review and inspection, and have a considerable degree of strength to pass.
Take a look at the characters in the original 'Brotherhood of the Coast', they are all tough guys who can be seen by someone as arrogant as Blackbeard Edward Titch. Even Bonnet, who seemed to be a cowardly and cowardly guy who joined through Wang Hao's connections, dared to rush to the front with a scimitar musket when attacking the naval fortress.
Instead of being a man as he is now, as he is now, as long as he has a ship capable of drifting on the sea, he can call himself a member of the 'Brotherhood of the Coast'.
This is simply a bunch of cowardly rats!
They joined Nassau in the hope of pretending to be a tiger, and with the reputation of the 'Brotherhood of the Seas', they ran rampant in the nearby seas, wantonly plundering merchant ships that did not dare to resist, and suppressing other fellow pirates.
Their behavior of 'bullying and dominating the market' is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs, and it seems that they can reap huge benefits in the short term, and their huge spending power will also bring vigorous development to Nassau.
But in the long run, it also means that the ecological balance around Nassau is broken, and if this 'unsustainable state' continues, sooner or later Nassau will have to swallow the bitter fruit itself.
However, for unknown reasons, Benjamin never stopped the expansion of Nassau's power, even if it was pathological.
Wang Hao's outspoken sarcasm made the rest of the people present a little unbearable, and some of them were short-tempered, and they had already kicked over the table in front of them and pulled out their blades from their waists.
"What, am I not right?!"
Wang Hao was a little upset when he saw these people, but at this moment, he couldn't help laughing when he saw that someone dared to pull out a knife against him.
This ridicule was a complete awakening for the drunken people who had already drunk, and after everyone saw clearly who the person who was speaking, they all lowered their heads for a moment, and they didn't even dare to breathe. Some even lie directly on the table and pretend to be drunk, trying to get by.
A few steps to the kicked over wine table, gently lifted the wooden table, Wang Hao sat on it, one hand gently pulled the table, the other hand on the cheek, tilted his head to look at the big man holding the sailor axe in front of him, lowered his voice and asked: "Is the bread here so hard that you need to use an axe to split it?" ”
"No, no, no, I'm just, I'm just ......"
The big man was sweating profusely, and a few words popped out of his mouth tremblingly, and he couldn't say anything anymore.
"You should be glad that it's me in front of you. Trust me, if you change to Blackbeard and jump from here, it will be the best fate for you. ”
Wang Hao pointed to the cliff next to him and said.
This cliff is actually not high, only about 20 meters high, 20 meters high without protection, if you land in the correct position, you will not die.
But don't forget, this cliff is the best place for drinkers to dispose of empty bottles, which accumulate over time, leaving them covered with shards of glass of various shapes.
Jumping off a cliff now is probably not just about getting seriously injured.
"Put away your little toys, this thing will only make you look more like a. Now, get the hell out of here! Glancing at the people who were suppressing themselves, Wang Hao suddenly raised his voice, "And you, get out of here too!" The next time you want to set foot in here, be sure to weigh what you are! ”
