Tetuga, it is not a small island in the sense of independence, from the map it looks more like a circular island chain, except for the main island where the port is located, the outcropping reef stretches to form a regular circle.

The round interior is the inland sea belonging to Tetuga.

Rather than the name Tetuga, the old pirates preferred to call it "Turtle Island".

Not only because it looks like a turtle on the map, but also because it is a natural sea fortress, with only a small opening for ships to sail into the inland sea and reach the port, which is why Tetuga is so special.

It's a tough nut to crack, rooted in the Caribbean, and no navy has ever been able to conquer it, which is why it's a pirate's paradise.

In the eyes of the pirates, Turtle Island is the freest place in the Caribbean, where they can have anything they can imagine, provided they have enough money, of course.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Turtle Island is undoubtedly a dangerous and chaotic territory, filled with outlaws, risky merchants, outcasts, slaves, and spies in the undercurrent.

There is no doubt that Turtle Island welcomes anyone, and no one cares what kind of ship it is sailing into the harbor.

Of course, there are no laws, no rules, and life is as cheap as moldy black bread here.

So, when the crew heard that the fleet was about to sail into Tetuga, most of them preferred to stay on board, even though they had been adrift at sea for a month and a half, desperate to step on the stable ground, find a tavern to eat, and find a woman to relieve their loneliness.

"It's sad for them." Jack Sparrow said of these cowards: "A man whose life is as tasteless as rum soaked in water if he has never experienced the diversity of Tetuga." ”

"Don, let me tell you, if every town in the world were like Tetuga, no one would ever feel lost again. ”

"I'm looking forward to it, Captain Sparrow." Townsend coped with Sparrow, who was chattering about the wonders of Tetuga, as he looked at the approaching Tetuga Harbor docks.

Obviously, the least number of vessels docked at the pier is fishing boats, and almost no one in Tetuga lives on fishing, the most common form of life for the islanders.

What they live on has always been the shilling in the pockets of consumers-

Don't talk about pennies, Tetuga isn't worth Port Royal, why do you think pirates are always poor, and a good bottle of rum can cost a shilling here.

But the pirates are happy to do it, and these drunken ones don't care, and the money should be spent, spent on food, rum, and women, and when they are done they go to sea, and make fortune with knives and muskets, and of course, if they have the chance, they don't mind doing the same in Tetugari.

Therefore, the ships that dock the most at the dock are basically those pirate ships with black sails and hideous muzzles exposed on their hulls.

As for the merchant ships, there are quite a few, the same modified cargo, the guns on the ships are even more than most pirate ships, and the guards who stay on the merchant ships are all full of flesh, obviously, they can change from the role of guards to pirates at any time.

The arrival of the fleet attracted the attention of everyone at the dock, especially the dreadnought in front, which was densely packed and divided into several layers of cannon holes that touched the sensitive nerves of the pirates, if it weren't for the Black Pearl next to it, and the soldiers on the ship had already changed into naval uniforms, I am afraid the alarm would have sounded.

Warships, and battleships of the first rank of the main force, have not been seen in Tetuga for a long time.

Townsend landed on the island with no fanfare, except for Jack Sparrow and Tom, there was only a small retinue of men carrying boxes, including former sailors and sailors embarking from Port Royal, all of them elite.

Bolting the boat to the wooden stakes of the dock, and the group stepped onto the dock, Jack Sparrow took a deep breath: "The breath of freedom that I haven't seen for a long time, damn it, I can't wait." ”

Tom ignored him, and after cautiously looking around, he whispered to Town, "Mr. Tang, what will happen next, like in Port Royal?" ”

In the past half a month, Tom has learned about Townese's plan, and naturally knows the purpose of Townese's coming to Tetuga.

"Those stupid games?" Townsend shook his head and smiled, "Of course not, Tom." ”

"Tetuga is different from Port Royal, and the one in Port Royal won't work here."

"It's all pirates, Tom, you can't recruit pirates the same way you recruit the citizens of Port Royal, they're greedy, they're crazier, they're more careless, the bait of those games can't fill their bellies at all, and trying to get them to respect me through games is nonsense."

"I see." Tom nodded and said, "However, I think Mr. Tang must have a plan, right?" ”

"Not a plan." Townsend shrugged, "It seems to me that it's much easier to get along with pirates than with the citizens of Port Royal. ”

"What do you think? Captain Sparrow? ”

Sparrow, who was the victim, was clearly reluctant to answer the question, humming a tune and pretending not to hear.

"So where are we going now?" Tom asked again.

"Go to the place where the most pirates in Tetuga." Townsend said, "Captain Sparrow must know exactly where I'm going. ”

"Oh! Old Bernie's Tavern, the liveliest place in Tetuga. Sparrow's eyes lit up: "The best rum, the most energetic woman, the most spacious venue, and most importantly, there is always a fight there." ”

"Then go there." Tang Sen nodded: "What's the name of this tavern?" ”

"Old Bernie." Sparrow explained, "There's no need for a store in Tetuga to have a name like other places, does it? After all, it's hard to remember that every shopkeeper has to pick a name. ”

"So we're always used to calling the shopkeeper by his name, oh, old Bernie is the twenty-seventh owner, and the last one was Albert, and this unlucky guy was watching the excitement on the second floor, and he had half of his ear shot out of a pistol that went off the rails."

"You can't die if you lose half an ear." Tom interjected.

"Of course you can't die." Sparrow shook his arm, "He picked up half of his ear on the spot, ate it, and choked to death." ”

Looking at Tom's constipated expression, Sparrow smiled:

"It's a very Tetuga death, isn't it?"
