Nights in the Caribbean are not always stormy.

Like today.

The moon stars are scarce, the wind and waves are calm, and the moonlight is sprinkled on the sea, sparkling waves.

On an island near the Bahamas, Santos is crouching on the shore, staring at the endless ocean.

His dress is no different from that of an ordinary fisherman, ragged and vicissitudes.

And beside him, there was also a group of people dressed similarly to him, also looking at the sea.

"It's another day of no gain, life is really lonely."

A man named Fernandez next to Santos looked at the sea with a sad expression.

He picked up a conch shell from his side that had been dead for a long time, and threw it into the sea with a "thud".

"What can I do! Lately, there is no longer even a shadow of a fishing boat, let alone a steam-powered merchant ship. Santos said angrily, "I want to rob it too, but how can I have a boat to rob it?" ”

Yes, these people are pirates, legendary pirates of the Caribbean.

However, compared with those famous predecessors one or two hundred years ago, they are very different in terms of equipment and scale.

Under the double blow of the British and Spanish navies, large-scale piracy in the Caribbean has long since disappeared.

However, there are still outlaws who beg for a living at sea, carrying on the fine traditions of their ancestors.

They have long since changed the way they used to fight.

For example, a group of people pick out unsuspecting fishing boats.

Another example is to approach the merchant ships passing by the coast in the dark, and if their draft is deep and the side of the ship is low, they can board the ship with a hook lock, and then occupy the whole ship while the people on board are not paying attention.

"Forget it, go back, even if you wait until the sun comes out again, you won't wait for the boat to come." Fernandez sighed, got up and prepared to go back to drinking, "This market, I might as well go back to be a fisherman!" ”

Several men followed Fernández to his feet and walked back.

Santos didn't squeak, lowered his head and sighed.

The people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

Suddenly, the sound of a whistle came from the sea not far away.

Santos jerked his head up.

In the moonlight, he suddenly spotted the outline of a ship on the sea.

At first glance, this ship looks like a merchant ship from the aspect ratio, and the speed of travel is not very fast.

Due to night sailing, it was pitch black on board, but there were still navigation lights flashing.

Santos got up from the ground with a "rub".

"Come to life!" He excitedly shouted at the pirates around him, "Brothers, we have finally waited for the 'sheep'!" ”

Fernández and the others, who were just about to leave, turned around.

"Chief, are you sure we're going to grab that ship?" Fernandez looked at Santos with a puzzled expression.

"Grab it! Look at that ship, the draft is deep, there must be a lot of cargo on board, and it is easy to board! ”

Santos patiently explained.

But halfway through what he said, he felt that he was so low, and it didn't seem right, so his face changed:

"What are you guys trying to do? Well? It's not like I haven't robbed a steamer! Did we come here to squat on the beach and blow the sea breeze? ”

Santos jumped into the sampan on the shore first, quickly picked up the gun from the boat and put it on his back, and then shouted again at the people on the shore:

"If you want to make a lot of money, come with me! If you don't have eggs, just eat the sand on the shore! ”

The pirates glanced at each other.

Although fishing boats are safer, they do not have much oil and water, so it is better to try them on a merchant ship.

So a group of people jumped on the boat.

A dozen sampans, rowing in the direction of the boat.

This ship is indeed Chen Jianqiu's boat.

The draft is due to the fact that the ship is loaded with a large amount of gold.

However, the crew did not know what kind of cargo was on this ship, and even if they did, they did not dare to think about it.

Li Sifu was on board with a group of Chinese soldiers, and if they dared to think anything wrong, they would immediately be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Chen Jianqiu was not on this ship.

As Santos and his pirates sailed out of the island, Chen Jianqiu and his "armed merchant ship" appeared diagonally behind the merchant ship.

The bow of the ship is painted with the name of the ship - "kun", which means kun.

It's a pretty domineering name.

According to Chen Jianqiu, in Chinese mythology, the "kun" is a large fish in the sea, thousands of miles long, and can be transformed into a bird.

It couldn't have been more fitting to name his first ship with this.

With the soldiers on the ship over there and the armed ship, he was double insured for his gold.

So Chen Jianqiu is very comfortable now.

He stood on the watchtower and admired the night view of this ocean.

He had all the memories of this body back.

Ten years ago, the scene of hiding in the piglet boat and crossing the Pacific Ocean is as vivid as yesterday's events.

At that time, he was an outlaw forced into exile.

This is no longer the case.

Chen Jianqiu was a little emotional.

The sea breeze blew across his face, with a salty gust of salt, and the sounds of various unknown animals on the island not far away came to his ears.

He was suddenly interested in seeing what the ambition of that island was like.

Chen Jianqiu turned on the shooter state.

The outline of an island soon appeared in his field of vision.

However, at the same time as the island, there were more than a dozen sampans!

Judging from the direction of movement, these sampans appear to be heading towards their own merchant ships.

Chen Jianqiu smiled dumbly.

The Border Detective Agency was right in the news he received.

On the islands near the Bahamas, there are indeed some sporadic pirates.

However, the downfall of these pirates still made him sigh a little.

Since the other side is so "hospitable", then he can't say anything if he doesn't give some gifts.

Chen Jianqiu walked back to the cockpit.

The first mate at the helm is a retired former Royal Navy officer named Ian, a straightforward man.

I used to stay in Hong Kong, but because I couldn't get used to what my boss was doing in the colony, I was put in small shoes and brought back.

When Chen Jianqiu was recruiting seafarers at the port of Newcastle, he happened to see this newly retired guy drinking in a tavern.

After some exchanges, Chen Jianqiu found that this guy was quite in line with the characteristics of becoming his own employee.

Ambition and having a backbone in the back of the head cannot be easily equated.

Only the mediocre will be afraid of the subordinates who will commit the following crimes.

"You can be my first mate." Chen Jianqiu invited him like this at the time, "But our salary is relatively high. ”

"Who's the captain?" Ian rolled his dead fish eyes at Chen Jianqiu.

"I, but I don't care much about the ship, I'm busy." Chen Jianqiu pointed at himself.

Eventually, Ian decided to decide his future with the "rock-paper-scissors" he learned in Asia.

But in this kind of game, Chen Jianqiu has never lost.

As a result, Ian became the first mate of "Kun", and the follow-up key crew members were also completed one after another.

"Call Guy up and let him carry the cannonballs for me." Chen Jianqiu said to Ian.

"What happened? Are there enemies? Ian hurriedly looked through the glass of the wheelhouse into the sea ahead, but saw nothing.

"Don't look at it, more than a dozen small sampans, stealing chickens and dogs." Chen Jianqiu was a little unimpressed.

Guy the gunslinger is also a veteran.

He slept very lightly and woke up as soon as he screamed.

His reaction when he got the news, like Ian, was also at a loss.

But when he was still looking for the enemy, Chen Jianqiu had already stood in front of the QF1 at the bow of the ship.

He lifted the cloth that was covered with camouflage and shouted at Guy, who was still in a daze, "Hurry up, bring the ammunition!" ”

Although he still had some doubts, as a veteran, he still started his work quietly.

Soon, the machine cannon controlled by Chen Jianqiu suddenly rang out.

He began to pour cannonballs into the dark sea.

The sound of "thump" echoed on the surface of the sea.

Fernandez was paddling, and then in an instant, the other pirates on the ship who had not yet reacted were reduced to powder, along with the ship.

One by one, the other sampans were destroyed by the cannon.

For a while, the sound of screams, the sound of falling into the water, and the sound of ships being wrecked were endless.

Guy, who was still doubtful just now, had completely changed his mind at this time.

Although he still didn't understand how Chen Jianqiu did it.

But in the experience of one of his veterans, these voices will not be faked, and the attack team on the opposite side is facing a catastrophe.

Seeing that this was not good, Santos shouted "Run" and began to paddle back.

However, a steady stream of cannonballs rained down from behind their butts.

Santos didn't end up winning this chase with the Grim Reaper either.

He was directly beaten in two, and he couldn't find even a single intact corpse.
