The northeastern corner of the Bantaan Sea, the Bahamas.

Of all the pirate ports in the Bantaan Sea, the largest of them is the "Black Sail Harbor".

The port was also a new pirate city built in the Bantaan Islands after pirates from the Old Continent were forced to move south.

Gather most of the free pirates.

This was the first stop for the Castilian adventurer when he arrived in the Bantaan Islands.

Located on the edge of the Devil's Triangle, which can only be entered but not exited, it has more than 700 islands and more than 2,400 islands and reefs.

It is very convenient for many free pirates to evade the pursuit of the escort fleet of various countries.

The most important thing is that it is close to the "First Circulation Belt", a major maritime transportation route, and there are frequent boats, so as long as you wait for the rabbit at the door of your house, you can catch the fat sheep delivered to your door.

"Disembark, the sailors on duty will guard the ship and hand over the proceeds of this plunder to the quartermaster of the pirate regiment."

"The rest of the people are free to move, we will have a big operation soon, and we will come back in three days to report, and we will not wait for the expiration date."

A small fleet flying the Pirate King's Throne of the Ocean, led by the harbor navigator, slowly docked at the docks of Black Sail Harbor through the mistrous and reef-ridden treacherous passages.

Creak!

A huge figure two meters long and two meters wide stepped down from the obviously dilapidated flagship in the bow of the ship, and trampled the wooden plank path under his feet.

This is none other than the [Fat Dragon] who had an unexpected encounter with Byron, and after a big battle, he transformed into a [Grotesque Wild Hunt Minion].

Byron's perspective was also able to follow him for the first time to extend to this new pirate city.

"The air smells of freedom and depravity.

Compared to Iron Anchor Bay, where many ordinary Northland residents live, this place is more in line with ordinary people's imagination of a pirate port. ”

This port of black sails is notorious as a refuge for the rising bandaan pirates, and has been called "one of the most depraved places on the sea".

Walking on the potholed streets, the ground is littered with sewage, and even the vomit of pirates after drinking too much, indicating that public administration is incompetent.

The streets are lined with densely cluttered buildings, and it's clear that the port city was not well planned when it was first built.

One out of every four buildings on the street is a pub or brothel, and most of the other shops are casinos, weapons shops, or drugstores selling all kinds of contraband.

Of course, there are also banks and black markets run by the Remets.

Apparently, the pirates who licked the blood from the knife came back here after each raid to have fun, looking around for beautiful women and rum.

Byron also captured the voice of [Fat Dragon]:

"This is a man's gold cave, and when women and wine are placed before them, no amount of money is enough to spend.

Some people can spend two or three thousand gold coins in one night, and they are even willing to throw 500 gold coins just to see a beautiful dancer strip naked. ”

"This is the holy land of the Golden Yuan Sequence, Heaven and Hell.

Many people get drunk and die here when they earn money, spend all their savings in a few days, and if they lose their ability to plunder, they can only survive by begging.

If you're unlucky, you'll die in a stinking ditch the next day, or become a raw material for some forbidden ritual. ”

"Their pursuits are too vulgar, I am different, my hobby is elegant food.

For the sake of this hobby, even spending more money is totally worth it. ”

With a fifth-order pirate king in charge, the Barbary Pirates are clearly one of the most powerful pirate groups in this pirate city.

Not only did it have an independent pirate colony station, but it also had a separate fortress built on the shore of the Marina Cliff away from the main port city.

Even though their power has far surpassed others, they are still not satisfied, because the next big thing for the Barbary pirates is to build a country!

The top brass hurriedly summoned all the captains of the ships at sea to rush back for a meeting, also for this matter.

The opportunity is once in a lifetime, and even the looting can be put aside for a while.

As soon as Byron, the fat dragon (Byron) entered the rugged council hall inside the fortress, when he unexpectedly heard someone talking about himself among the captains who arrived first:

"Hey, have you all heard? The [Wild Hunt] who made a big splash in Iron Anchor Bay last year has done another big thing this time.

Together with the Azkh Empire, he created a grotesque smallpox virus.

Now the Bird's Beak Plague is wreaking havoc on the island of Yucatán to the west. ”

Hearing his words, the other pirate captain next to him scoffed:

"Do you believe the news announced by the gang of minions in the Kingdom of Choice?

I also saw the 48,000 pound bounty.

It's just a fig leaf for the dirty things you do.

Even the famous [Conqueror] Cortés was slaughtered, and Castile couldn't catch anyone, so now he can only take advantage of his mouth. ”

"Besides, a group of natives and outsiders have created a weapon that can only be used to kill themselves? Are you stupid or am I stupid?

Castile has been rampant for too long, and it doesn't even make sense to lie.

If one day they pull out a tube of lime powder and accuse the Holy Silver Empire of developing extraordinary weapons against them.

And then snatching the crown of the Habsburgs, I would not be surprised at all. ”

The pirate who spoke first was unimpressed, shrugged his shoulders and continued:

"It doesn't matter who made that grotesque, the point is that once the natives of the island die of disease in a large area.

Our opportunity to build a nation has come!

Come to think of it, it's all a vast land without an owner, and there is no better place in the world than the Yucatan. ”

Hearing the topic he cared about, Byron took over the body of [Fat Dragon] and found a random chair nearby to sit down.

Secretly scanning the council hall, a huge nautical chart has been placed in the middle of the hall.

Around a wooden platform there were already two or three hundred pirate captains.

Although the main body is Barbary pirates with exotic costumes, there are also bayman pirates and Bantaan pirates from various countries.

Every human being is extraordinary.

In the second order, the strength is top-notch, relying on the staple food geoduck and even daring to fight against the non-combat side of the third order [Fat Dragon], the status can only be regarded as the middle and upper reaches.

Just sitting close to the high platform, there were more than a dozen third-order pirates.

This shows the essence of a fifth-order pirate king.

You must know that the strongest adventurers and pirates in the Bantaan Islands have gone further south to compete for the right to discover new routes and new continents.

That's not just an honor, it's a real extraordinary power.

It is said that the fifth-order Pirate King [Ocean Throne] was no exception, and naturally took away a large number of elites.

It's no wonder that they have the confidence to plunder the Church, the Imperial Family, and the Overlord of the Sea at the same time.

The heated discussion next to him continued.

The pirate captain who had spoken first brandished his gem-encrusted scimitar and said impassionedly:

"By establishing a state on the island of Yucatan, we will be able to replace the Taítans in direct control of the source of spices and various indigenous products.

All businessmen will look at us in the future. ”

"Yes, since then, we Barbary pirates have completed a crucial step from looting to collecting taxes.

As the patriarch, everyone will be the new nobles of the pirate kingdom! ”

Take off your pirate outfit and wash the blood off your hands.

Counting the gold and silver earned by killing people and selling slaves, he then bought estates and titles, changed into aristocratic clothes, and began to call himself a gentleman and a civilized man.

Stories like this have been repeated in the Old Continent and have inspired generations of pirates to follow suit.

There were also sane pirates in the crowd:

"The key is that our other layer of identity is still the navy of the Star and Moon Empire, and this matter still needs the nod of the empire.

Now the Pirate King is not there, if we are not recognized, even if the founding is just another large pirate city. ”

At this moment, the hustle and bustle in the hall came to an abrupt end.

With the sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the side door behind the high platform, the invisible pressure suddenly weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

"Master!"

Byron also clearly felt that his heart was racing and he was having trouble breathing.

When a tall figure with blue hair and blue beard appeared on the stage, that powerful sense of oppression was also raised to the extreme.

It wasn't until he walked to the middle of the high platform that he waved his hand at random to the audience, and the coercion disappeared in an instant.

"Good day, Vice King!"

Immediately, all the pirate captains, including those third-order pirates, stood up and saluted him respectfully.

The person who came was none other than Barbary Pirates, and the status was only under the Pirate King [Oceanic Throne] Barbarossa Haile Ding, the vice-king [Blue-haired] Barbarossa Haile Ding!

He looks like he's only in his thirties.

The small eyes shimmered, and the two thick blue whiskers above the lips were raised high.

Dressed in silk and magnificent, with a gold scimitar sheathed around his waist, and boots with a toe on his feet.

At a glance, people know that this is an extraordinary person who has been in power for a long time.

Byron also saluted respectfully, but his heart was full of alarm:

"Fourth Order! This kind of oppressive momentum is not like that of a third-order transcendent person in any way. ”

When facing this twin brother who was exactly the same as the Pirate King, he felt almost the same pressure as when he stood in front of [King].

couldn't help but sink in his heart, the other party's strength seemed to be far stronger than he imagined.

Even if the main body is here, due to the rank gap, the logbook can't read the information on him.

If you want to find the clues to the disappearance of [Whale Hunter] Jack Harold from the Pirate King brothers, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ’

[Blue hair] Haile Ding didn't talk nonsense, took out a piece of letter paper from his arms, and said loudly to the pirate captains under his command:

"His Majesty Bayezid of the Star-Moon Empire has given us authority.

The promise that we can establish an independent state in the Bantaan Islands and recognize our status will also give us full support in terms of diplomacy, finance, and equipment.

Rejoice, my captains. ”

This sentence is tantamount to the starting gun of the battle for the founding of the country.

As soon as the words fell, the hundreds of pirate captains in the audience immediately let out a roar of excitement.

"Roaring ——!"

"It's finally time for this day."

"My brother, the Pirate King [Ocean Throne] is raiding a new route to the south.

This time we are in the southern part of the Yucatan, so that we can build a solid rear and support them.

At that time, it will cooperate with Heifan Port to the east and west, and you will be able to clamp the main shipping route of the entire Bantaan Islands, and completely turn the Sapphire Sea into our inland sea! ”

Haile Din didn't have any intention of consulting with anyone else, nor did he see a democratic vote among the pirates, only a cold unilateral notice.

After making this decision, my eyes naturally fell on the huge nautical chart.

An inconspicuous place suddenly becomes particularly eye-catching under such a strategy.

"Where is this?"

Of course, the pirates knew that [Bluehair] was not asking about the name of the island, but about the specific condition of the archipelago.

Someone immediately responded:

"Vice-King, this is the Taiman Islands, which belong to the Kingdom of the Hattings.

It is said that it was the domain of the Countess of Greenville just a few years ago, and a privateer fleet called the Pioneer Colonial Trading Company was stationed there.

He belonged to a pirate general appointed by Hattings.

However, there is not even a third-order there, and the strength is not worth mentioning in front of us.

However, one of the islands had been occupied by the Kingdom of Castile as a base for advancement, and the Hattings did not even dare to protest.

Vice King, your eyes are like torches.

As the midpoint of the east-west route, it is also another triangular apex outside of the Castile Havana Island and the Taya Empire, and its strategic value has been greatly enhanced, even the Kingdom of Hattings itself may not have thought of it. ”

【Blue Hair】Hairing waved his hand casually:

"What is the relationship between the Earl of Greenville and Hastings? Forget it, it doesn't matter.

It stands to reason that our only opponent is the Kingdom of Castile, and no other forces are worth mentioning.

But my strategy is to play it steady.

The country is notoriously fond of intrigue and intrigues.

Before going to war with Castile, we prioritize the elimination of any surprises that might be cheap.

Now let's start gathering troops, and before the Grand Fleet sets sail, send three pirates as the vanguard to level this place for me! ”

The tone is domineering, as casual as saying what to eat tonight.

But no one thought he was joking, not even Byron, the real "bitter master".

His face was dull, his mouth was bitter, and there were countless swear words that he wanted to vomit but couldn't spit out.

"How can this man not play according to the routine?!"
