"The Throne of the Forest, resting on a pile of skulls.

That's the emblem of the West Coast Pirate King [Throne of the Ocean] Barbarossa Hayray Ding!! ”

There is hardly anyone who knows a little bit about sailors in the Bantaan Islands who doesn't know what this pirate flag represents.

Byron's side of the bayfolk pirates who had come here with him from Ironanchor Bay were better.

Many local Bantaan pirates, many of whom couldn't help but exclaim:

"Barbarossa, Throne of the Ocean!"

Byron, who already has a lot of cutting-edge information and has received the memories of many local [undead acolytes], of course, will not have heard of this name.

Just like the swarm of the Blood Thirsty Order and Major General Newman when he heard the name of [Wild Hunt], his face couldn't help but become a little solemn:

"Could it be a Barbary pirate?

But that's right.

With the temperament of this group of guys, it is indeed reasonable to do things that do not discriminate and plunder all the big and small forces on the East Coast, even the pirate peers.

After all, this is a gang of bandits who started by plundering the Pope of the Holy Silver Empire! ”

That's right, the Pope who reigned supreme in the Old World other than the Creator.

As we all know, the three major pirate groups in the world today are:

the oldest East Coast Bay Folk pirate; the legendary Barbary pirates of the West Coast;

Gradually taking over the banner of the first two, the southern Bantaan pirates with the most vitality and development potential.

One of the root causes of the previous attack on Iron Anchor Bay was that with the advent of the Age of Discovery, a large number of powerful bay pirates and Barbary pirates all moved south to the Bantaan Islands, where the official power was weaker.

This is the only place that can provide fertile ground for them to continue on the pirate path.

The Old World was left with only a bunch of old, weak, sick and incapable people, which naturally gradually declined.

The status of the fifth-order pirate king [Oceanic Throne] Barbarossa Hayray Din among the Barbary pirates is equivalent to the status of [Whale Hunter] Jack Harold among the Bayfolk pirates.

Moreover, he also has a twin brother named Barbarossa Haile Din, who is also a well-known pirate.

Because of the iconic blue hair, there is also a title of [blue hair] that is unclear when you hear it.

It is said that with a simple look, the most murderous pirates can be paralyzed and surrendered without a fight.

In particular, the Barbary Pirate Group led by these two brothers was also supported by the Star Moon Empire, the number one power on the west coast of the Old Continent.

Even in the Bantaan Islands, they are far more powerful than the pirates of the Bay People who have disappeared from the Pirate King [Whale Hunter].

They robbed the richest Castile, the royal Habsburgs of the Holy Silver Empire, and even the ship of the Church.

But they are still alive and well, and have even begun to plan to establish their own pirate kingdom in the Bantaan Islands.

This shows how powerful these Barbary pirates are, and how many enemies they make!

"This is a group of crazy people who bite and don't let go, it's not easy to do."

Even if the ships under the Pioneer Pilot Colony Company were also full of pirates, they knew that it was impossible for the Legendary Pirate King of the Fifth Order to come out and rob it himself.

I couldn't help frowning just thinking of this name, and even the privateer fleet that had just been integrated was a little fluctuating.

"The Ten Commandments of Pirates, the Sixth Commandment: Death to those who delay the fighter, and death to those who escape from the battle. Do you want to pee your pants in front of those crazy people? ”

Thanks to the natives of Chichen Itza and the pirate officers stationed on the privateers, the morale was restored.

The pirate captain on the flagship climbed the bow of the ship surrounded by a group of men in white turbans.

But it was a huge fat man who was more than two meters tall and two meters wide.

He noticed that the pirates on Byron's side had recognized the force he belonged to, and the smile on his fleshy face grew more and more rampant.

Standing in the bow of the boat, he took an hourglass from his fanny pack and placed it on the bulwark.

The yellow sand flowed rapidly, which suddenly put huge psychological pressure on Byron's side.

His voice grew cold:

"The flag is the Pioneer Pilot Colony Company under the Hattings Colony? Nobody who has not heard of it.

I don't know about you, though, as long as you know who we are.

The return road of this route is already full of our Barbary pirates, and you have to pay a toll tax if you want to pass through here.

Before the hourglass leaks, lay down your weapons, drop anchor and stop the ship, and accept the search of my [Fat Dragon]!

If you are cooperative enough, we will only take 70% of your harvest, and leave 30% for you to go home.

What do you think? Are the Barbary pirates very merciful? ”

After speaking, he also pulled down a screw horn engraved with a special symbol on his waist and blew it vigorously.

Toot ——!

Sounds that are inaudible to the human ear are flying beneath the surface of the water.

Then a pitch-black behemoth suddenly emerged from the bottom of the water, raising its head high above the water, and looking down at everyone with a fierce gaze.

It has a diamond-shaped head, similar to a cobra's head, with a mouth at the very front of the head and rows of razor-sharp teeth.

Each tooth is like a trident, giving birth to three spikes, and the whole arrangement is shaped like a spiked gear.

The most frightening thing is its cleft cheeks, which are as many as six pairs.

Between each pair is a crumpled membrane of flesh and bright red fins, like a terrifying wound that has been torn.

The crimson fins that extended from the cleft of the cheeks vibrated violently, making a piercing and strange sound that caused many pirates to subconsciously cover their ears.

This is a [Small Species: Quasi-Eel] with a crusade level equal to that of a Tier 5 cruiser.

It looks like a combination of an eel and a snake, but it's actually a very fierce xenomorph shark.

"Sea monsters, sea monsters."

A nautilus on Byron's waist also came from the [Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred's hurried voice:

"Captain, that's a sea monster crawling at the foot of the [Oceanic Throne].

I heard that the Pirate King was a beast tamer of the Wilderness Sequence, who had cultivated a giant species of [Deep Sea Hades] that was at least as good as a first-class ship.

Relying on the special ability of [Deep Sea Hades], he cultivated an unknown number of sea monster legions.

Those who excel among the Barbary pirates may be given a sea monster.

As long as you blow the horn of the trait, you can summon a sea monster to fight for you. ”

Seeing the panicked appearance of the pirates on the ship of the privateer's fleet, the other Barbary pirates led by [Fat Dragon] all burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, hearing that we are only seventy percent, these guys are already so happy that they don't know what to do, right?"

"That's right, this route connecting the east and west of the Bantaan Islands will be Barbarossa in the future.

It's not just 70% today, but every time you pass from here in the future, you have to harvest 70%.

We are not robbing, but the Pirate Kingdom of Barbarossa is collecting taxes. ”

"By the way, next time, if you send us directly to the station, you can only collect 60% of your tax.

Our tax collector will also issue you a tax bill, and with it, you will never be raided by Barbary pirates again, right? ”

In fact, most pirates are not bloodthirsty and are murderous for fun, and ultimately just want to make money.

They also knew that if they slaughtered all day long, everyone would be terrified.

When encountering pirates, they knew that they were going to be killed, so they might as well resist desperately.

Therefore, if the pirates slaughter wantonly, not only will the raiding efficiency not be high, but it may also be easy to put themselves in it.

After a lot of trouble, the merchant ships never left here again, and the financial route was cut off.

It is also easy to attract the retaliation of other navies, and after being beaten and hanged on the beach.

So although the Barbary pirates are crazy, they are crazy and have boundaries.

This time, facing the vanguard pilot colonial company that returned with a full load.

They were accustomed to raiding with the prestige of the Pirate King, and never felt that a group of little-known pirates would dare to refuse their demands.

even felt that he was very generous, and he didn't fish with all his might, and he didn't know how many times better than his peers who raised the blood flag at every turn.

But in Byron's view, even if they were as long as one percent like the maritime courts of the kingdom of Hattings, it was completely unacceptable.

"If you surrender without a fight, pay tribute and taxes to these Barbary pirates.

The privateer fleet that had just been built up, and the little centripetal force that had been cultivated with them in the city of Trascopan, would immediately fall apart.

Others may be able to back off, but I can't.

No one wants to follow a soft-boned captain.

It's like in troubled times, there is no virtuous person to follow a prince who just wants to be in a corner of peace, and does not want to take over the world and achieve unification.

If the people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult for the team to lead.

Not to mention, you have to give money every time you meet them in the future. It's nothing else, it's all money!

Want to collect my taxes? There are no doors!

However, it would not be appropriate to leave all this group of people here, and I hate this kind of guy who clearly has a tough backer behind him.

You have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds, and you have to get through this first. ”

So, under the gaze of many pirates behind him, Byron raised his hand.

The six pirate ships under his command lined up to form a battle line, showing their muzzles.

At the same time, there was a flash of red light in his eyes.

The group of man-eating sharks that followed the Golden Deer immediately surfaced and swam slowly around the Golden Deer.

A large black shark fin also makes people realize that they are not to be messed with.

And the size of this group of man-eating sharks has been growing, the largest one has broken through the ten meter mark, and the others have grown seven or eight meters.

With such a bunch of behemoths, the deterrent power is not much worse than one or two sea monsters.

If it weren't for the abundance of materials in this sea, they really wouldn't have been able to support them.

Seeing this, the [Fat Dragon] on the opposite side couldn't help but show a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

"How can this privateer fleet be so well trained?

Could it be that the intelligence is wrong, and this is not some fat sheep to bully?

If I hadn't said it, I would have thought it was the regular army of the Hattings fishing for enforcement.

With so many big sharks, this is also an animal trainer? Or with the help of some kind of forbidden knowledge? ”

Even if he has a sea monster under his command, he may not be able to win with a single twenty-seven.

Moreover, if the manpower under his command loses a lot on this kind of hard bone that even the [Pirate King] Daimyo can't determine, his status will definitely plummet in the Pirate King's fleet.

At this moment, [Fat Dragon] saw Byron holding a wisp of sea breeze in his hand and fluttering up, slowly falling to the top of the first oblique gird of the Golden Deer.

As he spoke, the ubiquitous wind also sent his voice to the ears of the Fat Dragon and the other Barbary pirates.

"Since you are so confident that you are going to collect taxes on the east-west route, why don't we take a big gamble.

According to the rules of the pirate group's common 'fighting ships' or 'fighting generals' for turf grabbing, I choose the fighting generals!

If you win, I'll give you everything I stole from the Azkh Empire.

But if you lose, then go home and give me the right to collect taxes.

In other words, you don't want your men to lose a lot, do you? ”

showed his strength, and another run, and suddenly forced the already jealous fat dragon into a corner.

"You"

Before he could agree, Byron jumped off the first sprung like a predatory falcon, and swooped down on the pirate ship of the [Fat Dragon] on the crest of the waves.

"I, Byron Tudor, the Sea Hunter, declare war on you, and the winner takes all!"
