Getting from Santiago to Nassau is not a particularly busy route.

It could even be said that this is a black route. Because Nassau was the nest of nearby pirates, this route was often used when they returned to Nassau.

Today, however, just off the course, a merchant ship with a broken mainmast seemed to have to stop there, with ominous white smoke still rising from it. It's like accidentally knocking over a brazier in the process of saving a mast......

"The brazier must be buckled, or when you turn around—snap! It was too late to think about anything. The old pirate looked at the hapless merchant ship and muttered to himself, when he suddenly saw a stupid young man listening, "Hey, I'm not talking about this person!" ”

"Hah!" The young man made a strange noise in boredom and turned his head away.

"Bastard! Be smart! The old pirate shouted dissatisfied! It's a pity that on this ship, he is just an old and disabled old fellow, and no one likes to listen to him, not even the captain will remember, he is the oldest one on this ship! Of course, this captain is also a young fool, and he doesn't care about that!

The old pirate shook his head, feeling that he was getting farther and farther from the young pirates. He always felt that the pirates of today seemed to be ten times braver than he was then. Of course, ten times stupid! Especially those stupid young people. would even regard heroic death as a goal, thinking that a person like him would live a long life. It's either waste or cowards - are they all poop in their heads?!

"You idiots should be smarter, this ship doesn't look comfortable at all. I always feel that something is wrong! He chattered, staring at the boat with cloudy eyes.

It's a pity that at this time, the captain is shouting and giving a speech to boost morale! I didn't plan to consult him at all.

"What could be better luck picking up a wounded rabbit on the way home?!" His words were met with great cheers! "What are you waiting for? Let's occupy it! Plunder it! Shred it! Then we went back for dinner! ”

"Oh!!!" The pirates slammed their knives hard against the planks and cheered loudly.

"Listen to the boat ahead!" The captain ascended the mast on the first floor along the rope ladder, and stood majestically on the crossbar, holding the rope simply with one hand. Shouting loudly at the "wounded little rabbit" in front of him, he invented the famous sentence that the ship must shout before every robbery!

"Surrender!"

"Surrender!" Hundreds of pirates shouted together. The first mate shook the rudder and leaned the ship firmly against the side of the merchant ship.

"Or die!"

"Or die!" The pirates wielded scimitars and terrorized the bunnies in all directions. "Hey!" The pirates approaching the merchant ship shouted a trumpet, and shook the hook bridge and hook lock next, and threw it hard!

"We are—"

The pirates were each pulling their necks and glaring into scarlet eyes and shouting, "Gospel Pirates! ”、

“2B”。 The old pirate was in the corner, cursing in disgust...... "Standing so high, don't worry about falling?" ”

"What are you waiting for?!" The captain drew his rapier and pointed forward, "I've changed my mind!" Let's not surrender! Don't take prisoners! Begin to party......" His voice stopped abruptly. I heard "Bang~~!" "There was a crisp gunshot - their captain, swaying on the mast, fell down like a leaf in the wind...... There is a bloody hole embedded in the forehead!

……

With that gunshot. On the other side, as if the curtain of the stage had been lifted, the main mast was erected intact. It's just that there are no sails hanging on it. In the center of the boat are several large braziers with fresh fish on them. Burnt smoke......

"We ...... How did you get it wrong? The pirates were blinded by this sudden sight, and they were all in a daze. Whether it's a "broken mast" or a "deck on fire", it should be very conspicuous.

"It's a broken ......," muttered the old pirate in the back, "I said how it looks awkward, the broken face is so neat that there is not even a single stubble." ”

At this time, the positions of the two ships were already tied, and even the hook bridge had been thrown over, and the two ships were completely connected.

On the lookout on the opposite ship, the sniper who had just given the captain a shot quietly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he changed to a new musket and aimed it down.

The pirates here hesitated, not knowing what to do.

At this time, the sailors on the deck of the opposite ship lifted the canvas piled on the deck, and the whole five cannons were exposed, pointing straight to this side of the deck.

Is it a shotgun? The pirates are almost going crazy, it's a sinkhole! Five cannons can kill half of the people here! Their psychology changed from whether to resist in an instant to whether to surrender immediately!?

"The Gospel Pirates?" A young man dressed in black walked out, "Surrender, or die, what are you waiting for?" ”

********

Two pirate ships, which had just finished their hunting trip, headed for Nassau.

But as soon as they arrived near the Cape of Bailu, they were attacked in a rage—what seemed to be a burst bomb that had smashed into the sails of a ship in an arc from the promontory! It happened to be the pirates' big ship loaded with trophies, and when they were caught off guard, a large number of sails were burned off in an instant, and the speed of the ship suddenly became slower than that of a turtle!

If it weren't for the fact that the top of the cape was indeed empty, they even suspected that a long-barreled cannon was mounted on it!

The pirates cursed angrily, what could be more unlucky to be attacked less than a day from home? The large cargo ship behind had to stop for repairs.

The warship in front of it made a round of inspections, and after confirming that it was safe nearby, it rushed across the headland in a rage. The search for the "perpetrators" went...... In the vicinity of the pirate kingdom of Nassau, pirates were not allowed to fight each other. That's what it's written in the pirate code! So he had to find out which guy was not afraid of death who did it! By the way, make up for the loss.

When the ship was gone twenty minutes later, with illusions and a large canvas. The "Kraken", which disguised itself and the cliff, sailed out of the reef circle and hit the butt of the cargo ship behind it! Boarding begins.

When the pirate ship in front of them returned, they were faced with a double attack from the cargo ship and the Kraken......

……

For half a month, the pirates of Nasao felt like they were going crazy!

There are constantly ships that fail to return on time, pirates who go missing, and then their bodies and wanted warrants are nailed to the docks of Port-au-Prince in rows!

After the pirates' internal information channels, after many excavations. They've finally found a bit of news.

A message about a group of bounty hunters called the "Opera House".

These people don't know what kind of madness they have done...... Maybe someone robbed his ship, maybe someone got his wife - in short, the man codenamed "The Magician" began to go berserk, organized a ship himself, and began to hunt all kinds of pirates without limits, and also called it "Bounty Hunter"!

A hunter chasing bounty?

In fact, the reason why the pirate's bounty is chased by few people is only used by the pirates as a capital to show off to each other. There are two main reasons, the first is the difficulty of positioning. Pirates are indefinite and cunning, and it is not easy to catch them accurately.

The second is that these bounties are low. Bounties are often just a measure of the pirate's own bounty. But the real pirates, who do not have a few ships, do not have hordes of sailors. Don't have some momentum? For the sake of someone's appreciation, but to overcome a whole force. It's a thankless job!

But the "Opera" bounty hunters have completely reversed this view!

They made a pact with Port-au-Prince. When they hunt pirates, they can confiscate their cargo and ships! All you need to do is hand over 30% of the proceeds from the sale. When the "Opera House" bounty hunters organized three large-scale auctions of goods and ships in Port-au-Prince, everyone understood that this was a business that could make a fortune!

More and more people are buying "retired warships", hiring or simply partnering with "retired soldiers", declaring themselves to be "bounty hunters" and starting to carry out just causes.

Lu Yuanzhi said that one day in the future, bounty hunters will also become a cancer - when they can't catch pirates, they will become pirates themselves. But at least today, the new bounty hunters have won a lot of applause. In this era of piracy, merchants wanted a way to make trade safer and not hesitate to pay for it. The same is true for individual countries. They wanted to take the navy out of the quagmire of fighting piracy and do something serious, such as going to war with a country's regular navy.

The biggest supporter of the bounty hunter is once again LeBron, who advocates free trade, and he even raised the price of all bounties on the Spanish side to encourage more people to join!

*******

Lu Yuan took a "check" of this era and looked at it in the sun, and then sandwiched it into a book.

Forty thousand pesos of usury credentials, ransom money for McLaren and his officer corps. After McLaren had scraped together the money, he deposited it in the merchant house of a loan shark and then handed him the voucher, which became the last income of the Trinidad incident.

As an unspoken rule of the nobility, the two men did not completely end the war relationship until this time. The most Lu Yuan could do in his diary in the future was to record that he had defeated someone—and if he was to publish it, he would need to praise all aspects of that person. McLaren, on the other hand, will not admit that he was once a captive of someone and will be free to do whatever he wants.

So, what Lu Yuan heard was that McLaren disappeared after the fall of Trinidad, and Trinidad was betrayed to Morgan by his officers, who were now playing for the British. From beginning to end, it has nothing to do with Lu Yuan, Portuguese Louis or Elizabeth or anything! So even though he plundered a large port and his reputation was already infamous, he could still operate leisurely in Port-au-Prince.

Lu Yuan arbitrarily changed the "robbing ships" in the main god's mission to "robbing pirates' ships". Although even so, his actions would still be defined as pirates in this era, but Lu Yuan didn't care, he knew that he could pass his own level.

Even if there is a threat that the mission will not be completed. can let Lu Yuan go against his principles and go to the sea to rob indiscriminately...... I'm sorry. I can't! In order to find a suitable target for himself, Lu Yuan simply took the most sinful person in this era. Pick out the top three.

First place, the colonial army of the colonial power. Relying on cannons and huge ships, plundering and slaughtering the aborigines in the whole world is absolutely sinful! However, Lu Yuan's strength is insufficient now, and this is his next stage of enemy.

Second place, slave traders. These scum who hold the Bible but do acts of extermination of humanity are not killed a hundred times! Lu Yuan would hang the corpse of the slave trader's captain on the mast of his slave ship every time, and then sink it completely! As for slaves? The Caribbean Sea is the island of Many. It's a much better place than in Africa......

The third place is the pirate. No matter what the banner of "freedom" or "equality" is, a robber is a robber! If plundering at will is freedom, then it is deserved to be denied.

********

Young King sat under the rudder of the ship, looking boredly at the equally boring sailors on the deck.

I looked at it with envy.

This is the Siren, the bounty hunter ship that rose like a comet and swept away South Nassau. In the half month that the "Kraken" was raging, it almost made Nasao like hell. Every time Young Kim is busy working in the tavern. You'll hear the wails of some people when they talk about her.

Several encirclements and suppressions against her not only suffered heavy losses, but also escaped by the "Kraken". Everyone said that the Siren was protected by Colybusso. Only the Pirate King Morgan can destroy the Siren.

It's just that when he heard these things, the young Kim was still standing in the tavern. But now, he's on this boat—to put it simply. He was taken on board by a pirate as an assistant, before he could start his career as a pirate. The pirate ship was hunted by the Siren.

As is customary, the Kraken will only follow the instructions of the "magician". Kill the lives of several people, including the captain, whose hands were covered in blood. After taking the goods, the rest are released directly...... If the ship is poor, even the ship will be abandoned.

The young Jin was deliberately left behind, just because when Lu Yuan passed the test of the undead box, he found that there was no trace of resentment in this child, that is, his hands were not dirty yet. So he was left on the "Kraken", and Lu Yuan planned to let him follow Helen as an apprentice first, and that old guy would only cook for a few of their officers, and he didn't care about cooking for ordinary sailors.

"Hello!" Kim heard a strange voice say to him, but when Kim looked up, no one saw him.

He looked around blankly, only to find that there was no one at the helm of the rudder at the beginning of the road, only a bird with bright feathers, standing on the rudder, looking at him proudly.

"I must have misheard...... Kim said to herself.

"I said, "Hello!" The pretty bird repeated a sentence in dissatisfaction!

"Wow! Wow! Wow~! Kim jumped up in fright and stammered, "Bird, bird can talk?!" ”

"What bird?! I'm a parrot! "The parrot proudly plucked itself out of the birds.

"Wow~! You're a parrot?! Since the name of the "opera house" spread, the big names of the bounty hunters have also made their own name, and despite the constant curses of the pirates, teenagers like Kim have simply worshipped them like legendary heroes.

"Sorcerer", "Kraken", "Noble Maiden", "Lookout", "Hercules", ...... Among them is the magical "parrot", which is said to be a Zulu who can turn into a bird.

"No, you've misnamed me, parrots are my species, just like you're human and I'm parrots. My name is Doug! The parrot explained very seriously.

"But doesn't Doug mean a dog?" Kim was very strange why a bird should be called a dog...... Will Lu Yuan tell him about the grudge between himself and the name Doug?

"Dogs? Kindness...... The kind of barking?! Doesn't sound good? Looks like I have some accounts to settle with someone! Doug the Parrot made a jotted down face.

"Wow, you're so smart! I mean, you can speak human words, and it sounds like a human chat! Kim admired, his eyes lit up. It's a pity I don't have any food here......" he touched his empty pocket, "what do you like to eat?" ”

"Thank you, nuts will do. You and I speak English because I speak bird language and you don't understand it...... Hahaha! After telling the bad joke, the parrot laughed and slapped the rudder with his wings.

When Kim saw it, he laughed happily, and all his worries disappeared.

"Doug, I'm Kim, my name. Can I call you Doug? Are you really not a bird turned into alone? So what are you doing here? He asked curiously.

"Slow down, slow down, kid. I love answering questions, I love chatting, let's take our time! It's a pleasure to meet you, and finally someone who likes to listen to me. You must know that since Lu educated me, he has begun to dislike me! Every time I see me, I just say, 'Get out of here, little hen!' I said I was a parrot! Or 'I wish I could turn back time and not change your mouth!' 'Ah, look, the logic is confused! It is clearly thought that only words are worthy! Mankind...... That's how you treat your ......."

It looked sad for a second, then cheerfully displayed, "What am I doing here?" It's an honor to introduce to you, this parrot, is the first mate of this ship! First place under the captain! Just like you can see", the parrot raised its paws on the rudder and showed it, "I'm sailing!" ”

"Look at me, Zuo Manrudder!" It flapped its wings and turned the rudder so hard that it really made the ship turn in an arc for most of the time...... It's perfect, if not towards the right side of the luke. (To be continued......)
