Chapter 33 Someone Comes on the Waves
"Anchor!"
In the evening, outside the shipwreck harbor, the sound of the second mate of the Black Baron, Wales, sounded. With a gloomy face, he gave the final command to the busy sailors on board.
Because First Officer Leon was accidentally shot by a guy who jumped onto the boat out of nowhere during last night's battle, Wales had to take over a position he was not very familiar with. But in a way, it's more like a kind of exercise for Bartholomew's own heir, so that he doesn't become a joke in the future about the captain being banished to an island by his crew.
Yes, in fact, the story of the rebellion and banishment of the Pirate King of the Caribbean, Jack Sparrow, by his crew was for a long time told by the pirates of the time as a joke or a joke to the newcomers who had just embarked on the ship.
This is also one of the reasons why Jack, the protagonist of this world, is crazy. Nothing hurts more than the power of words.
"Second Officer, Wales."
A sailor next to Wales had a look of desire to stop when he heard Wales's order, he was an old sailor, and he knew some of Wales' personalities.
If it sounds good, it is called persistence, and if it is bad, it is called assertiveness, and you can't listen to other people's opinions. He thinks that everything that others say is wrong and is directed at him.
"Say."
Wales poured gold medal rum into his mouth, and his expression was flat. There seemed to be no expression on his face. He was really angry. Because Bartholomew took the awakened third mate of Fusosi to the so-called Second Pirate Convention.
Leon was also taken to a hospital run by an old pirate in the harbor because of his injuries. And Wales, the heir to the black baron, was ordered to guard the ship here.
Shipwreck Harbor, a port city built entirely from the wreckage of sunken ships, is now brightly lit. Those standing on the ship can even hear the pirates laughing and laughing as they seek pleasure inside.
"There's a guy over there."
As if seeing some familiar light in Welsh's eyes, the witty sailor glanced vaguely at the skeletal sail that had not yet been put away, and changed the subject.
Wales followed the old fritter's gaze and did see a man on the rough seas outside this natural sheltered harbor.
There were no boats, yes, not even a rescue boat.
Looking up at the rapidly cloudy sky overhead, it looked like it was going to rain tonight. Could it be that his ship sank?
The man took a few more steps in this direction, and Wales was able to see a little more clearly through the monocular binoculars in his hand.
A woman walking on the surface of the sea, not a sinking lifeboat or a plank under her feet, but a piece of ice floe that spreads out with her steps. The ice wasn't very bright, but it reflected faintly in the somewhat dim sky.
Yes, the restless waters are at her feet like a tamed old hound, for her to drive, to tread.
The oriental cheongsam on her body, which highlighted her well-proportioned figure, fluttered in the wind with the sea breeze blowing from the sea.
Divide-Cut-Line -
"Guys, there's a reason I've gathered you here today."
In the bright hall, Henry Morgan tapped on the left end of the long table he was sitting on, quieting the hall that had become noisy because of the mix of dragons and snakes. There is no way not to give this famous pirate of the Seven Seas a face, especially if I heard that he is very vindictive.
Glancing at Bartholomew Roberts, who was sitting across from him at the right end of the long table, and the young man behind him, Morgan continued, causing everyone to become chaotic again in the next moment.
"Captain Bartholomew and I intend to make a law on piracy that will be ...... by future successors, like a rule with a basis."
"I'm against it."
The first to speak was Qing's husband, Zheng Qi, who was the most powerful of the pirate kings here. He ruled the waters of China, and had more ships and wealth at his disposal than many of the pirates present. As if there was no fear of Henry Morgan, and that was exactly what happened.
He said a word, which made the thoughts of every pirate king present open one after another.
"What I say, it's the law!"
"That's right, Zheng is right, pirates have never been unrestrained."
"I'm only interested in money, and any rule that prevents me from making money is the King's hanging of pirates."
“……”
"Bang!"
"Quiet!"
The sound of a flintlock pistol and the movement of Bartholomew standing up silenced every captain who had wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
The black baron-to-be, who stepped on the steps of the nobles, swept through every pirate present, and said in a straight voice, quieting the pirate kings who had planned to continue to oppose him no matter what he said.
"We were given an opportunity to establish our own legal port, and it was a good port."
Everyone looked at this horrific captain, and if they still had some contempt for Henry Morgan, the great city pirate, they had more respect for the man who sank 400 ships in three years. Because they are seafarers, they know better how difficult it is to capture a ship that is moving at sea.
"Where?"
The speaker is Xiao Hailong, the father of the future Singapore pirate king Xiao Feng, and the young man behind him is his outstanding and loyal son, Liang Dao.
"A place between the Old World and the New World, Roberts got it from the Queen, but it belongs to me. Because we were all British, that place would in a sense belong to the British colonies in the future. ”
Henry Morgan said, his words sending every pirate king present into a whisper.
No one knows better than them what it means to have a pirate-only harbor.
It means that the stolen goods they loot in the future will not be lowered by the consignees or go to great lengths to find the distribution channels of their own forces on the shore, and there is also an additional guarantee point for supply points such as fresh water, food and alcohol.
Most importantly, it is a safe zone for pirates, and they don't have to worry about their own country or other countries' navies encircling them.
Everybody wants to have a normal legal status.
"Is that okay?"
"No problem."
Lilith, the French pirate king, replied that she was the only female pirate among the pirate kings. Usually outside of work, she would help out at her father's former tavern.
Her voice is a little hoarse but sexy, which makes women not very comfortable to listen to. But it doesn't affect the outcome of others who hear it and are shaken by it.
More and more Pirate Kings are opting for reconsideration.
The Pirate Act was finally discussed in the midst of the nine Pirate Kings, which included the division of regions, the election of the Pirate Emperor, and the Guardians of the Codex.
Because the quasi-case was obtained by Bartholomew and Henry Morgan, the code was finally signed by these two people.
As for the issue of the Codex Guardians, these people are all human beings, and in the end, they chose a person who is famous in all the seven seas. Edward Teague. He is also the current husband of the French pirate king Lilith.
It is worth mentioning the love story of these two people, because they didn't know each other at the beginning, and they both used fake identities.
