Reborn As a Pirate

Being a Pirate () Find the latest chapter!

Sharks and dolphins are two very similar species in the ocean.

Smart, brutal.

They are the top of the marine food chain, hunters, carnivores, and gregarious.

They swim in the ocean in groups, chasing their prey and biting their opponents. There is death on their sharp teeth, and every part of their body is designed to make hunting more efficient.

But they are very different creatures.

Sharks are always fierce and cruel, and their every move reveals breathtaking terror.

They also occasionally gather on the side of a boat or appear on the beach. People panic, people flee, people arm harpoons and guns, just want to kill them, or drive them from afar.

Dolphins always dress up as harmless to humans and animals.

The skin is covered with oil, black and white color lines, round nose and big eyes, even the cry is so beautiful, like a child's hilarity, a girl's shallow moan.

They are one of the most popular sea creatures to be invited, to be healed, and even the youngest children dare to seek healing from this beast.

More importantly, they, those helpless children, can really find a cure without worrying about being hurt by ferocious dolphins.

Bellamy's description is full of spirituality.

At the moment when Lorraine kicked out the ball, the guardians of the code saw in a trance among the triangular fins that parted the waves, a strong figure jumped out of the water!

Dolphin invasion?

It stands to reason that the Brotherhood of the Sea should be rejected, because the idea and model of privateers will have an immeasurable impact on the mature pirate world, and it is likely to lead to the accelerated collapse of the already weakened pirate ecology.

But as Bellamy said, their ideas are not important, their judgments and reasons are not important, because they are not qualified to refuse at all.

Hundreds of years have already wiped out the authority that the emperor bestowed on the Council of Elders. The current Brotherhood is just a deformed parasite that lives on the pirates of the Caribbean.

Lorraine is a powerful man. Even without the approval of the Brotherhood, he can still hang the pirate flag recognized by the King of England and run wild on the sea. The shock that should come will still come, and the collapse that should have happened will still happen.

Therefore, the Brotherhood needs to consider its own interests, whether to let Lorraine confess its weakness to the world, or continue to maintain the deformed rule and continue to act as a false leader.

The answer is obvious...

The sixth old man on the right, the old captain of Bellamy's, narrowed his dim old eyes.

Drake...I just discovered that you have the same surname as the legendary privateer who started the Pirates of the Caribbean era hundreds of years ago, and coincidentally, you also chose the same name for your flagship.

If you're talking about Francis, he's my ancestor.

Direct relationship?

It's not important. Lorraine waved his hand noncommittally, Pirates don't need blood inheritance, and the Seven Seas Dragon won't bring me any beneficial protection.

The old captain smiled knowingly, thinking he saw Lorraine's guilt clearly.

Bloodline inheritance is really not important to pirates, young people should pay more attention to their own lives. He smiled happily, We agree that privateers are part of pirates, and you also have the right to enjoy the protection given to you by the great code.

So, our negotiation was successful, yes?

In general, it is indeed successful, but there are still some trivial details...

Details? Lorraine frowned, Is it necessary to pay dues to join the fraternity?

No, no, you misunderstood, young man. The old captain laughed, The Brotherhood of the Sea is an organization that the great emperor provides arbitration and services to all pirates. We live for pirates, not parasitically on them.

Then what do you rely on to maintain your own existence?

Channel! The old captain showed an intriguing smile, We hold the lifeblood of all Caribbean pirates.

That is the most important channel in the entire sea area, that is... Tortuga Harbor!

A black port?

this answer...

To be honest, this answer greatly exceeded Lorraine's expectations.

The Brotherhood of the Sea, an organization that exists in the form of the Pirate Empire Senate and guards the Pirate Temple and the Pirate Code, is actually an operating Black Harbor Management Committee.

Relying on the black port, operating the black port, selling stolen goods for the pirates, and collecting taxes from them, that's all.

Lorraine couldn't help shaking her head mockingly: It seems that from today on, my stolen goods will also need to be sent to Tortuga for sale.

That's one of the ways the Brotherhood serves the pirates.

Then the tax... I mean the service charge?

Tortuga will take 30% of the transaction amount, but it doesn't have to be borne by you.

It's really a familiar rhetoric and scene.

Lorraine muttered in a low voice, and suddenly lost interest in dealing with this group of spoiled pirates.

Everyone, I'm very happy. I'm glad that I heard civilized talk for the first time on Turtle Island. I'm even more glad that the people who rule the Brotherhood of the Sea are a group of civilized people who are no different from gentlemen. But you probably misunderstood something.

The old captain? He glanced at Lorraine from a different place: Misunderstanding?

Yes, misunderstood.

Lorraine stood up, walked around the meeting table and walked to the back of the group of old pirates. With a clang, the two knives were unsheathed.

With a bang, Hai Na unfolded her gown and jumped onto the table, holding two short knives.

Barto stood up with a strange howl, with two muskets in his hands, and the wings were behind Hana, aiming at the panicked guards on the sidelines, the very limited guards.

The guardians froze on the table motionless, and the entire venue was on edge.

After all, they were big pirates who used to dominate the sea. Even if they deteriorated or degenerated, even if the more dangerous Lorraine stood behind them holding a long knife, they still keenly discerned that almost all the killing intent at the venue came from Henna in front of her.

The old captain's face was livid: Drake, are you going to declare war on the entire pirate world?

misunderstanding.

Lorraine easily held the blade, flipped his hand, the blade pointed upwards, and the oblique tip of the blade poked twice on the table, lightly hooking the sharp corners of the two charts.

You have misunderstood me, you have misunderstood privateers, and you have misunderstood the word stolen goods.

The so-called stolen goods, the law of the civilized world stipulates that personal wealth is sacred and inviolable. Pirates seized their property without the owner's consent, and this property is stolen goods.

Stolen goods are what lawbreakers demand from law-abiding people, and they are the protection of good people by civilization and the country. The transformation of property rights from law-abiding to law-breaking is a necessary attribute of stolen goods.

Farmers killed wild boars that trampled on wheat fields, and wild boars became the legal property of farmers. Tramps snatched gentleman's tuxedos, and tuxedos were stolen goods from tramps. At this time, if a noble and brave man stood up, Chased away the homeless, retrieved the tuxedo, who do you think this tuxedo should belong to?

The third from the left stared at the old reflection on the knife, and replied tremblingly: Gentleman...gentleman...

This answer is not accurate. Lorraine smiled and dragged the knife back, allowing the tip of the knife to plow two deep nicks on the table. The key lies in property rights.

When the knight acts bravely, if the gentleman is still chasing the tramp and has not given up, the help is moral, because the property right has not been transferred. However, if the gentleman is dead when the knight catches the tramp, or he is kneeling down in despair Lamenting the injustice of fate on the spot, the tuxedo becomes the trophy of the knight, it is his return for justice, and should be protected by the law.

This brings us to the second question. Is the tuxedo considered stolen goods in the hands of the knight?

The fourth from the right glanced at Hai Na, swallowed nervously: It doesn't count.

Yes, it doesn't count.

Lorraine raised his hand and drew back the long knife. With a flick of the blade, two charts floated down in front of Barto.

Barto didn't even want to put away the gun and pick up the picture, and then he stood at attention behind Hana with his hands behind his back, his chest raised high, and his eyes were not squinted.

A tuxedo in the hands of a gentleman is not stolen goods. It is stolen goods in the hands of a tramp. When it is transferred to a knight, it becomes sacred and inviolable legal property. This is the rule of civilization.

So what exactly is the merchant's pursuit? Lorraine dragged his knife and paced slowly, Or what is my favorite marine environment?

Safe, smooth, prosperous, and stable. Businessmen don't care about competition among their peers, because there is never enough money in the world, and the more people who earn it, the greater the profit of the entire industry will only be.

So my guns will not be aimed at good merchant ships, and my wealth will not contain stolen goods. My sword is against lawlessness, either the enemy of Great Britain, or... the enemy of civilization as a whole.

Then... The old captain stared at Henna, finally made up his mind, and turned to Lorraine, Then why do you want to be a pirate!

Why do you want to be a pirate?

Lorraine murmured and smiled, and raised the knife in his hand high, facing the codex in the distance with the blade, and then chopped it down.

The sharp long knife slashed down, rubbed against the old captain's shoulders and arms, and slammed heavily on the solid wood tabletop with unparalleled mighty force, the debris splashed and pierced into the wood.

Click, click...

The tortuous cracks appear on the tabletop with the crisp sound of the plate cracking, connecting from one side to the other, and extending from one end to the other.

The table was supposed to break in two, but Henna was there, and the table was there.

Lorraine laughed, holding the handle of the knife, straightened his arms, and the laughter echoed wildly in the hall.

Why am I a pirate? The reason is simple. Because someone is breaking the order I like, someone is stealing my wealth, and I have to make them understand that they have done something wrong and need to be corrected.

So I have to choose one of the two flags and make a quick decision. Should I hide the blade behind the Chamber of Commerce flag and wait for them to provoke again, or unfold the skeleton flag and take the initiative to attack with a warship.

Having said that, Lorraine retracted the knife, sheathed it, and bowed deeply to the guardians of the code like a most qualified gentleman with sincerity and respect.

You see, I don't like to wait.
