304.Chapter 304: Pirate Rumors
It's a world that celebrates freedom, primitiveness, and madness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rum irrigates the ideals of the heart, and sailboats support the ambitions of men.
This is also a world where black powder is just emerging, and the remnants of old magic have not yet dissipated, but the era of thermal weapons has quietly risen.
When the last rays of the setting sun pull the sunset into the sea level, the whole world seems to fall silent.
In the 17th century, after the European invasion of the Caribbean, gold began to be mined and plundered, and the frustrated people with dreams of making a fortune set foot on the land, but the results were not good.
Gold is monopolized by the powerful, and these people with dreams of making a fortune can only return empty-handed, but they continue to be displaced in the near future, and they have no choice but to rob them.
It is for this reason that the Caribbean is a paradise of wealth, a wasteland of frustration, a paradise for pirates, and a place where countless lives have been lost.
When merchant ships carrying gold and treasure swaggered across the sea, pirates had been watching for a long time.
Most of the time it was night, and the ships of the quietly raised pirate flag took advantage of the bright moonlight on the sea to capture their prey, but sometimes during the day, the cannons fired directly at the target and then ransacked the ship's cargo.
Not without resistance, but in hand-to-hand combat, the pirates of the Caribbean laughed loudly, not afraid of the knife wounds cut on their bodies, and defeated their enemies with courage.
And in this blue sea, there is a small island, which is a paradise for pirates - Tortugart.
It is also known as "Turtle Island" in Spanish.
The pirates had no permanent place to live, floating in the sea, and this island was the only place where they squandered their plundered wealth.
The island has fertile land, abundant fresh water, and an excellent natural harbor where pirates gather, and countless skeleton flags flutter in the wind.
At night, Turtle Island is lit up, and pirates from all over the Caribbean are enjoying their rare leisure time.
Fight at will, insult at will, brag at will, the law can't control here, this is an island paradise.
As long as you have the money, you can sleep until dawn with a rum barrel.
Of course, you can also call one or two women with big breasts and round hips for a few pounds, and tell them about their heroic deeds.
At this time, in a bar on Turtle Island, two pirates, one fat and one thin, sat here, holding the wine glass in their hands, taking a sip with love, and then communicating with each other.
Both of them were members of the Little Pirate Ship, which was unfortunately swallowed up by the sea, and it was thanks to the generosity of some of the Captains who had just returned from a full load of rum to be able to mix two glasses of rum here.
It's not always peaceful at sea these days.
The fat pirate reached out and touched the side of the woman, who was wearing a bright lady dress. He touched his leg and then put his hand in front of his face and took a deep breath, as if he was afraid that the fragrance would dissipate.
The woman who was touched didn't get angry, just glanced at the guy who took advantage of her, and then turned around and left.
The thin pirate's slightly envious eyes swept over the fat pirate's palm, and he only hated himself for being too far away.
"Have you heard?" As if he had finished sniffing the scent, the fat pirate took a sip of rum and asked mysteriously.
"What did you hear?"
Aside from rum, women, and fights, pirates love nothing more than bragging, and sometimes witnessing the rise of a legend is more exciting than reaping a fortune of gold, as it could be the talk of the town for years to come.
Black Pearl
With just one word, the Skinny Pirate was stunned, "Legendary Pirate, Jack Sparrow's Black Pearl?" One of the three legendary ships? ”
"That's right," the fat pirate smiled, "There's a rumor about him, Captain Jack was searching for treasure and his crew asked to share the location of the treasure......"
Then his first mate, Barbossa, after learning the location of the treasure, launched a riot that night to take his place as captain and leave him on a desert island" The skinny pirate interjected to interrupt what he thought was a mysterious story, and then Captain Jack lurked at the bottom of the sea for three days and three nights, and finally captured two turtles tied to his feet, so as to escape from the island...... It's an old story."
Realizing that his news was indeed a little late, the fat pirate shook his head, "After that, the Black Pearl became an undead ship, you know?" ”
"That's because Barbossa, after abandoning Jack Sparrow, went to the treasure site with his crew, and they found a lot of treasure and squandered it, but Barbossa didn't know that these gold coins were cursed gold coins, and whoever took them would be cursed, and from then on he didn't feel it, couldn't taste it, and couldn't enjoy the rum...... "said the thin pirate and took a sip of the rum in the glass" and irradiated it. After moonshine, they will turn into undead skeletons."
"How do you know so well?" The fat pirate asked, puzzled.
"Hey, as long as you don't keep staring at the rum in your hand, just listen to what other people have to say, and it's been a long time coming."
"Well," the fat pirate hung his head, and then raised his head as if he was not willing, "but there's a story you have never heard!" “
"What's the story?" The skinny pirate took a sip of rum and asked.
"Captain Elf and Greenskinned Sailor"
"What's that?" Sure enough, the skinny pirate stopped drinking rum in his hand and asked with a frown.
"Hey, hey, hey" laughed confidently, and finally regained the dignity of a pirate, the fat pirate pretended not to say anything, but poured a sip of rum into his mouth.
"Hey! What exactly! The skinny pirate asked with some annoyance when he ignored him.
"Treat me to a glass of rum," said the fat pirate scoundrel, "my friend, it's definitely worth the money."
"You think I'm going to fall for you?"
The fat pirate shrugged his shoulders, but kept his mouth shut, and seemed to hold a grudge against the failure to tell the previous story.
"Bang!"
A large glass of rum was placed on the fat pirate's table, "I'll ask you for a drink and tell me more about the legend of the elven captain and the greenskinned sailor."
Seeing that his intention had been achieved, the fat pirate reached over with both hands and grabbed the rum glass, and poured it into his mouth happily.
He turned his head to look at the generous drinker, and found that the other party was a little tattered and had some water stains, and in the memory of the fat pirate he seemed to be the captain of a medium-sized pirate ship, "It turned out to be Captain Louie, thank you for your generosity"
"Tell a story," the middle-aged man, known as Captain Louie, nodded.
"Ahem" took the advantage, he didn't procrastinate anymore, cleared his throat and said, "Actually, they have only been around for a few days, and they have been moving outside, and the reason why I know this story is because my ship has not yet been swallowed by the waves, and when the captain is still there, I happened to see this scene from a distance."
He deliberately lowered his voice, and the sound of the entire bar became quieter, as if everyone was listening to what he said, "There is a ship, and there are only eight people on it"
"The captain is a girl of about fourteen, and Poseidon assures her that she is definitely the cutest girl I have ever met, like an elf"
"This is the so-called Elven Captain?" The skinny pirate pursed his lips and secretly congratulated himself on how fortunate he wasn't stupid. The hat went and asked him to drink rum.
"She was very nimble and could stand and walk on the mast, and I was talking about walking upright as if any path would work under her feet"
"What about the green-skinned sailor?"
"Six sailors, they look like ordinary people, but when they are angry, they will turn into green giants, their clothes will be torn, and they can sink a ship in two or three strokes!"
"Moreover, as sailors, sometimes they don't have to sail far, and the sailors who become giants have their own wood pulp, and they row faster than even catch up with the Black Pearl!"
"Their ship and the Black Pearl have been together?"
"Not really" The fat pirate picked up the rum in front of him a little embarrassed and took a sip, the last few sentences he added indiscriminately, and now there was a feeling of cowhide blowing.
"There's one left?"
"And the other one is a yellow-skinned Asian, maybe a boatman, maybe a chef," said the fat pirate, unconcerned.
"No," Captain Louis interjected, "there are indeed eight people on that ship, but the little girl is not the captain, but the first mate, and the yellow-skinned man is the captain."
The two turned to look at Louie, and found that he was already drunk and walking into the distance, and the people in the bar seemed to have heard the story and returned to their lively state, and believe it or not, the story had definitely spread here, and by word of mouth of the pirates who came here, it spread throughout the Caribbean and the world.
