Chapter 34: Justice
That night, the pirate supply depot made a fortune, the pirates enjoyed a sumptuous dinner for nothing, and the reputation of the pirate Blackbeard gradually spread among the human circles of the uncharted - albeit only for arrogance and infamy for not taking money for money.

After his first dinner in the uncharted sea, Yalei stood by the guardrail at the bow of the ship, holding the guardrail with both hands, staring at the sparkling blue sea, and asked:
"How long does it take for Whitebeard to have his birthday?"
"Eighteen days to go. ā
"Eighteen days to go. ā
Squidwards and Edward replied in unison, and before the words fell, the sea demon stretched out his tentacles and slapped him hard because of the latter's mouth.
"You say, how can I make big news in these eighteen days?" the black-haired knight threw the puzzle at the crowd.
"How about attacking Ghost Island?"
Goethe replied without thinking, and then, as if sensing the difference in everyone's gaze, hurriedly added: "I don't mean to start a war with the Ghost Fleet now, but to create some small friction and skirmishes on the outskirts of Ghost Island." ā
"What a stupid idea, what if the ghost fleet really comes out of the nest after you do this? That's a thousand ships, hundreds of thousands of undead!" Luo Luo glanced at him, and criticized the idea without any regard for the friendship between the two.
"I also don't recommend going into a fight with forces other than pirates, it's too easy to get angry and cause the pirate leader to be dissatisfied. ā
Bruno frowned when he said this, and was silent for a moment before he hesitated and said, "Otherwise, we will make some trouble in the pirate circle?"
"That's what I thought too!"
Kara hurriedly chimed in, and then said nonsense: "But how can we make trouble in order to make a name for ourselves?"
"In that case, I've got a solution. ā
Yalei stretched out his hand and rubbed his beard forged with his hair, looked up at the starry sky, and said in a distracted voice:
"We can find someone who is notorious in pirate circles and everyone shouts and beats them up. In this way, you can make the most of your reputation with the least risk. ā
"Makes sense. ā
While everyone seconded the proposal, they turned their attention to Squidward and Edward.
"Sorry, I don't know about that. ā
Babur shook the four tentacles helplessly and explained: "I'm usually very busy, and I can't take care of tens of thousands of children, so I can't care about the bad things in the pirate circle. ā
Edward had just been smacked, his buttocks were still swollen, and he didn't dare to talk to Squidward, so he waited for the other party to finish speaking, and then he hurriedly stood up and explained:
"I know the notorious pirates! In terms of prestige, the Uncharted is respected by Whitebeard, but if you ask who is most hated in the Uncharted Sea, it must be the witch Charlotte!"
"Charlotte, the witch of the four pirate leaders?" Are's mind had a rare impression of this person.
"That's her! I tell you, this witch is addicted to sweetness, to the point of madness. For the sake of dessert, you can not hesitate to mobilize to conquer a country. The small island countries under her jurisdiction had to offer a lot of sweets every month, and they had to be rationed at regular intervals, and the slightest delay would result in heavy penalties. ā
Edward, who seemed to have forgotten his identity as a pirate, clenched his fists and showed an expression of righteous indignation, and began to count the witch's crimes:
In order to satisfy her sweet tooth, she forced the inhabitants of the island countries in her sphere of influence to grow a large number of cane sugar and cocoa beans, and also converted a large amount of farmland into sugar cane fields, destroying the economic structure and making everyone destitute! If anyone resisted, she would kill them with terrible spells and cruelly coat them in sugar. All in all, under the rule of this woman, her people are worse than death. ā
"Wait, what's going on with the island country and the people you are talking about?" the black-haired knight waited for the other party to finish speaking, and hurriedly asked.
"That's right, there are not only pirates in the uncharted sea, but also a large number of civilians. In order to survive, they all attached themselves to the power of the pirates, offering tribute in exchange for safety and shelter. In order to facilitate management, the pirates adopted the setting of one island and one country, and regarded the island countries in their sphere of influence as private property. ā
After listening to Edward's explanation, Aree somewhat understood the human component of Uncharted, a world composed of a small number of pirates and a large number of civilians.
The island's civilians are weak and powerless, and see foreign pirates as a symbol of strength and authority, and they exchange attachment and tribute for protection from sea demons and undead harassments and threats. After all, no matter how vicious the pirates are, they are still human, much kinder than sea demons and the undead.
As a result, a strange system of pirates ruling the country has been formed, and the big boss of the pirates is obviously the supreme existence of the emperor.
They can arbitrarily change the administrators of the ruling districts, make strange laws as they please, and the people are often able to satisfy the rulers without a bottom line due to various factors such as fear and thirst for protection, so most of them live quite miserable.
But no matter how miserable it is, it's a little better than being raised as a domestic animal by sea devils and being used as grass cut by the undead, and overall, the pirates still have more merit than demerit in the uncharted sea.
But this sea pirate leader named Charlotte Lingling obviously ruled a little too much, and he didn't take the lives of the people in the ruling area seriously at all, and did all the stupid things of killing chickens and eggs, no wonder he was also notorious among the pirates.
However, this just gave Blackbeard Pirates a chance......
"It's so tragic...... It's so tragic......"
Yalei muttered softly, suddenly slapped his thigh, his eyes widened angrily, and he announced in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner:
"We want to bring justice to the common people who have been brutally exploited by witches! Let them know that there is justice and justice in this world, and liberate them from unreasonable laws and domination! We will put an end to the reign of terror, and we will eliminate expropriation, and create a new world in which everyone can live and work in peace and contentment." ā
The boss had a bad idea again, but the slogan was as lofty as ever, and it made people's blood boil - everyone thought of it in unison.
"Boss, just tell me, what the hell are you going to do?" asked Kara, expectantly.
"Go to the witch's territory, of course, smash her rule to pieces, and then we take her place. The black-haired knight said with a bang.
"But...... But what about the other pirates? will they interfere?" Lydia reminded worriedly.
"What are you afraid of, this old witch has a bad reputation, and the pirates are too late to see the jokes, how can they help her. If they take 10,000 steps back, if they attack them in groups, we will obediently admit it, and our reputation will be the same. ā
Yalei is full of confidence in his plan at the moment, as long as he attacks Charlotte the witch, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he will be able to achieve his goal.
"So, in the name of rescuing civilians?" Nancy looked at him eagerly, her eyes full of anticipation.
"No! this flag is too sensitive. ā
The black-haired knight closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then slapped his thigh again and grinned: "Justice, we are going to beat the witch under the banner of justice!"
"Justice ......"
Nancy chewed for a second, then showed an embarrassed expression: "This slogan...... Wouldn't it be too stupid, no, I mean would it be too straightforward?"
"That's what you want, otherwise you think this banner is for whom? ā
Yalei knew exactly what he was thinking, and explained with a smile:
"In the name of saving civilians, can other pirates agree? None of them ride on the civilians and knock out the bones, but they eat better than witches. To free the civilians would be to overthrow their rule, and I can't do that, at least not yet. On the contrary, the banner of justice is much softer, after all, pirates also recognize basic morality, and I use this banner to attack witches, in their eyes, it is just a pirate who wants to replace another pirate. ā
"I see......" the girl nodded as if she didn't understand.
"If only you could understand. ā
The black-haired knight put aside Nancy, who looked thoughtful, and announced loudly to everyone:
"We want all pirates to know that I, Blackbeard, are righteous pirates, and Blackbeard is a righteous pirate. Therefore, we must not only hang up the banner of justice, but also wear the banner of justice on our bodies!"
"Wear ...... On the body?"
Kara looked at him suspiciously, then pointed to her body:
"Where do you wear it?"
"You're thinking too complicated. ā
Yalei turned around behind him and slapped a palm on the man's back: "Just tattoo it on the back of your clothes in the three Chinese dialects." ā
......
Although the sun has not yet risen, the sky has faded its pure black hue, and the moon has returned to a pale blue background, and a new day is about to dawn.
Many small merchant ships came up the sea near the supply station, and they were moored in a very orderly manner, forming a small market. Most of these ships have flagpoles on the flagpoles of the major pirate leaders, as a way to indicate that they are allowed and protected to do business, and attacking them is tantamount to opposing the sea pirates.
"Sell carrots, crisp and sweet carrots!"
"What kind of sword is it?Clamp steel enchanted sword!What kind of knife is a knife, Polis's scimitar!Welcome to the sunfish weapon shop, new and old customers are all 10% off!"
"Tender and delicious little kraken, to meet the hobbies of special people. ā
"Sell salted fish, wasteful, stupid and useless salted fish. Selling salted fish, an incompetent salted fish that can only be used as cannon fodder. Ten strips and one berry, only thirty yuan for packing!"
"Teach the basic fighting spirit, 10,000 Berry Bao Bao Hui!"
The noise of selling drifted along with the morning fog, and Blackbeard swept across the sea in all directions, leaving a sparkling trail towards the Candy Sea ruled by witch Charlotte Lingling.
"Salted fish?"
The moment the Quincy passed by a merchant ship, Arley seemed to hear something abrupt, turned his head to look, and was immediately shocked - he saw the undead fish he had subdued on Dead Fish Island
The salted fish, which had been pierced through the lips with hooks, were arranged in large and small rows, and hung on the wall of the merchant ship, and the dead fish's eyes were hollow, as if they were resigned to their fate, and they hung there motionless.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
He hurriedly stopped Blackbeard in the middle of the journey, ran to the other side of the ship, and shouted at the man on the boat:
"What's the matter with these salted fish?"
"Are you going to sell?"
The listless hawker suddenly cheered up, glanced at Blackbeard in awe, and asked cautiously.
"Yes, I'm going to buy it, what's going on with these salted fish, where did they come from?"
Hearing him say that he wanted to buy it, the vendor on the merchant ship immediately cheered up and explained with a smile:
"Guest, this is an undead fish caught near Ghost Island, because it has no combat power, it will only complain that it is a salted fish, so we will catch a batch and sell it. ā
It's not just a batch of catches, you guys are serving it in one pot at all!
The black-haired knight counted the number of salted fish, couldn't help but sneer secretly, and then asked puzzledly, "You catch the undead fish...... Don't you care about the undead on Ghost Island?"
"Rest assured, they won't care, they don't care about these subordinate undead at all. The peddler seemed to be eager to do the business, looked at him with a blank eye, and licked his lips:
"How many would you like to buy?"
"I got it. Yalei glared at the salted fish in hatred and threw a gold ring.
"Huh?"
The peddler took it in his hand in a daze, took a bite, and immediately smiled after identifying it as genuine, looking at the black-haired knight's eyes more and more enthusiastic:
"Wait a minute, we'll send it to you!"
......
More than three hundred undead fish lay on the deck, flapping their fins from time to time, emitting a fishy and smelly smell that wrapped the entire Quincy like a dark cloud, making everyone can't help but cover their noses.
"Boss, what are you buying these salted fish for?" asked Kara, covering her nose with her hands, in a sullen voice.
"These are the eyeliners I put on Ghost Island, after all, it's been a night, maybe they'll see something. Yare shook his head and explained with a dark face.
"I'm sorry, host...... I didn't see anything of this useless salted fish......"
Lying in the center of the salted fish corpse, the five-foot-long tuna undead looked at the sky, weakly raised the fish's head and fluttered twice, and then fell down hard.
ā......ā
Everyone looked at the black-haired knight silently, and their expressions were self-evident.
"Okay, bear with me for a while, and then throw them back to Dead Fish Island. Yalei held his forehead with one hand, and showed a headache expression.
"But going to the Candy Sea is the opposite direction to going to the Ghost Island, are we going to the Ghost Island or going to the Candy Island?" Bruno quickly interjected.
"Then throw them into the sea. The black-haired knight didn't expect anything from these useless salted fish at the moment.
"Don't! don't throw us into the sea!"
The big salted fish fluttered again, supported its upper body at once, and explained in a panic:
"Just find a small island and leave us there, please don't throw us into the sea, because we useless salted fish can't swim anymore. ā
The colleague who spoke, it also squeezed out two lines of salted fish tears, and it looked really pitiful - at least Lydia, Nancy, Bruno, and Lolo were moved.
"Then let's just find an island. ā
The black-haired knight didn't want to be so cruel to his subordinates, so he agreed to them. (To be continued.) )
