"Why does that sound a little sour, Hornigold, are you jealous that my velvet box is better than yours?" Wang Hao looked at the smaller dhow at Benjamin's feet and teased.

Titch was now beckoning his men to set up a gangplank between the two ships to make it easier to pick up the goods, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Benjamin was not annoyed, he knocked the fence in front of him with his pipe, and said, "No, I still like British-made goods compared to Jamaican!" ”

"You've got a great ship now, do you need Titch to teach you how to make money with her?"

"No need, I still like to sail my own boat!" Wang Hao hurriedly refused.

When dealing with these pirates, you have to pay attention at all times, and if you are not careful, you will be cheated by them. Don't look at the relationship is very good now, it's just because Wang Hao is still a pirate who doesn't enter the stream and can't threaten Benjamin's position.

But if you really believe in them and let their sailors get on their boat, and when they sail out to sea and come back, then they don't know who the ship will be.

Benjamin was rejected so directly, but he didn't feel embarrassed, "In that case, well, now we're sailing back to Port Royal." This is a great opportunity to test your new ship and see if it's a ship or a dung bucket you've taken! ”

“……”

Wang Hao finally let Tiqi get on the ship, because he sadly found that except for Ma Wei, there was no one on his ship who had sailing experience. Of course, slaves who came from Africa to the Caribbean by boat did not count. Those slaves could do nothing but farm, work, and wave their fists indiscriminately, let alone be highly skilled sailors.

So in the end, Benjamin could only be found and borrowed a few sailors to drive the new ship back to Port Royal.

Fortunately, Benjamin had already prepared, and he deliberately brought a lot of sailors this time, just to help Wang Hao drive the ship back.

However, Wang Hao's refusal before gave him another opportunity to joke with Wang Hao, and made Wang Hao owe another favor, why not?

On the way back, Wang Hao personally took the helm, and all the sailors showed good sailing qualities, and they didn't need Wang Hao to say anything more to know how to work. The slaves were also cleaning up the traces of last night's battle under Mavi's guidance.

Everything is in order.

After a long time, Ma Wei finally finished his work, and stood next to Wang Hao, looking ahead with his hands on his chest.

At this time, the sky was already white.

The breeze blew gently, and the sun shone on Ma Wei's big bald head, and it just so happened that Ma Wei's skin attribute was the bright black of a black man.

A big black light bulb was placed beside Wang Hao like this, and Wang Hao was stunned for a while.

Suddenly, Wang Hao asked, "Ma Wei, are you literate?" ”

Ma Wei was stunned by the question and replied, "Uh...... I don't know, white people have made a bill that does not allow blacks to be literate, what's wrong? ”

Wang Hao shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "That's okay, man, you know, there are still 8 people left in this ship plus you and now." But those 6 sailors are not qualified sailors at all, and they can only start as the lowest floor cleaners now. ”

Wang Hao pointed to the six slaves who were still working on the deck, they had been slaves for too long, and several of their parents and grandparents were slaves, and they were naturally born slaves. The sudden change of identity made them a little confused. So at this stage, it can only be Wang Hao or Ma Wei who give orders, otherwise they will just be stunned and at a loss.

"I took this ship, this is my first ship! It's important to me, and I won't allow anyone to take him away! Speaking of this, Wang Hao patted Ma Wei on the shoulder and said solemnly: "So, Ma Wei, my friend, I appoint you as my quartermaster!" Do you know what I mean? ”

"Of course, Captain!" Ma Wei also said with a serious face: "This ship belongs to you, and I will be a good quartermaster!" ”

Last night, Mavi led a group of slaves to attack the sleeping overseer.

With no intention or not, and the pirate has no weapons in hand, Ma Wei dares to swear, not to mention the truly experienced pirates, even if they can only wield the weapons in their hands, it is absolutely impossible to lose. However, even so, the vast majority of slaves were killed or wounded. Of the dozens of slaves, only six survived.

When Ma Wei led the six surviving slaves onto the deck, he was completely stunned by the scene in front of him.

There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the deck, each of which had been killed with a single sword. Then they saw how Wang Hao subdued Old Bartley at lightning speed, so Ma Wei's heart had already planted the idea of 'this man is invincible'.

So when Wang Hao directly appointed him as the quartermaster, Ma Wei knew that Wang Hao would not let anyone get their hands on this ship!

You know, on an ordinary pirate ship, the ownership of the pirate ship is owned by everyone on board, so the captain and quartermaster are often elected by the crew.

Benjamin or Black Mountain's flagship is of course different, they are the great pirates of the Megatron Caribbean, as long as their names are revealed, countless people will follow, so naturally there is no need to share power with others so troublesomely.

On ordinary ships, the captain has supreme authority during combat, and issues such as the course of non-combat time are also set by the captain, because arguments and disagreements reduce efficiency and bring danger. The person in charge outside of combat was the quartermaster, responsible for discipline, food, and the distribution of loot.

When the crew felt that the captain was not brave enough, had a mistake in judgment, was too harsh on the crew, or exceeded his authority, he was immediately dismissed. Often, after the captain was dismissed, the crew would replace him with a quartermaster.

This creates competition at the top, which discourages them from abusing their power and encourages them to serve the interests of the crew.

And now the ownership of this ship is Wang Hao personally!

Although Ma Wei also contributed a little bit in it. But obviously, he didn't think that his existence had helped Wang Hao anything, but firmly believed that even without himself, Wang Hao could hijack the ship alone.

The blood stains on this deck have not been washed away yet, and the question of betrayal, Ma Wei said, he can't even think about it.

At the same time, Wang Hao, who had finished Ma Wei, was holding on to the rudder while thinking in his heart: captain, captain's secretary, quartermaster, navigator, helmsman, gunner, sailor, sailor, cook, doctor, musician, his own ship, which can fully carry 80 people, still lacks a lot of sailing talents.

The captain and navigator Wang Hao can serve concurrently, the quartermaster already has Ma Wei, and the 6 slaves can be regarded as miscellaneous at most. But there are still a lot of vacancies in other positions.

It seems that if you want to go to the sea, you really have to seriously plan for a few days!
