Reborn As a Pirate

The fraternity first contacted the calling order about three months ago...

The old voice turned on the memory mode.

Three months ago, that is, between March and April 1786, the White Seminole War on the Florida Peninsula was coming to an end, and Lorraine, who thought he had missed the opportunity, received a call from the United States.

It was at that time that Pavlomy and his Royal Happiness descended on Nassau.

Lorraine could feel the weight behind this common statement.

The pirate empire prospered in Henry Morgan, who established a special order that was different from the common world and fit the values ​​of pirates.

In this order, he was at the top of the food chain, and there were seven pirate kings below him, and then there were the big pirates who were competitive, and the little pirates who were not competitive.

The Brotherhood of the Sea is a special case. They were born out of the third-tier big pirates. They have qualifications and backgrounds, and they have taken the initiative to withdraw from the food chain, accept the support of all pirates, and become defenders and bystanders of order.

In all fairness, the stability of this order far exceeded Henry Morgan's own ability. Even after his death, it still operated smoothly for nearly a hundred years.

The stable pattern of the Qixiong struggle for hegemony did not officially begin to disintegrate and loosen until the appearance of Lorraine.

After the Association War, Edward the Blackbeard relied on his prestige, Pavlomy the Black Baron relied on his ingenuity, and Lorraine stood out by relying on his financial resources. Split into upper and lower layers.

After that, the upper class continued to split. Blackbeard was completely defeated in the Battle of Basseterre, and Pavlomy retreated. Since then, Lorraine has become the only strong man. Even if he has not yet reached the deterrent power of Henry Morgan back then, he is still uncrowned The emperor, the first black baron, has not let up much.

This is the ecology of today's pirate empire. White Flag Lorraine is alone at the top of the food chain, and Blackbeard Edward and Black Baron Pavlomyu continue to maintain a gap with the third group.

Cotton Jack, Henry the Hound, and Bellamy the Black Prince are shrinking over the big pirates, such as Bonnet the Viking, Drakey the Veteran Pirate who reached his peak before his defeat, and Genie the Nutria as the representative. The emerging forces fought together and launched an attack on the Highnesses who were once unable to face up to it on the fourth floor.

In the situation of one super and two strong, it is a fierce collision of heroes fighting for hegemony and gathering and separating.

Of course, the only one affected by Pavlomy's actions was Blackbeard.

Because of the special relationship between Lorraine and pirates, the current pirate empire only has a clear north-south confrontation at the highest level.

In the south is Pavlomy, based on the first-line archipelago of Paraguay, and the scope of activities covers the entire South America and the Spanish area on the west coast of Central and North America.

In the north is Blackbeard, with Eleuthera as the center, following the traditional Caribbean sea and mid-latitude transoceanic routes of the pirate empire.

Beasts of the same level tend to abide by the principle of avoiding each other, even if life and death are at stake, they will not easily step into the core of other people's power, and Nassau happens to be at the core of Blackbeard's power.

In other words, Pavlomy's uninvited visit to Nassau was even more unreasonable than Lorraine's raid airborne this time, especially the old man of the Brotherhood, who was Blackbeard's most combative unit at the time And Blackbeard himself rested in the harbor of Eleuthera.

Then the second doubt arises, as if it was agreed in advance, Blackbeard kept silent during the sudden incident that was enough to start the Pirate King's war, and was disconnected the whole time.

Lorraine couldn't help covering her chin: It's like an agreement in advance...that is to say, the Brotherhood only knows that they have a tacit understanding, but they don't know whether they have communicated in advance?

The meeting between the pirate kings cannot be hidden from the Brotherhood, said the old man, because they will definitely attend the meeting on the flagship, and they will never go into other people's lair. In the world of pirates, the meeting is simply regarded as a negotiation. The guy is probably dead by now.

Lorraine took this sentence seriously: But communication doesn't necessarily have to be done in person, right?

Then why did His Highness come to Nassau in person?

To confirm...

Lorraine suddenly became silent.

Meeting, negotiating, communicating, and social behaviors like this do not have the rigid need for leaders to personally implement them, but not everyone can replace them. It is necessary to comprehensively consider authority, ability, and trust relationships. The more important the occasion, the more so.

Lorraine took the risk to land on the island because there was no suitable agent on board, and so did Pavlomy.

unless……

Someone could completely replace him and convince Blackbeard to remain silent.

The old man froze for a moment, then laughed wildly.

Does Your Highness think that all the pirate groups in this world are as talented as your chamber of commerce?

This is obviously impossible.

The social circle accumulates prestige in a civilized way, without affecting a series of keys that determine the ownership of the chamber of commerce, such as equity and wealth, so Carmen, Chuck, Ramos, Eddie, and Karen can control social energy no less than Lorraine , while being an employee of the Drake Chamber of Commerce with peace of mind.

Pirates accumulated prestige in a savage way. Once Pavlomy's pirate group appeared to be able to rival the head of the group, the result would be either a change of dynasty or a new one.

Therefore, the person Lorraine assumed could not exist. Pavlomy went deep into Nassau. The most reasonable explanation is that the tacit understanding between him and Blackbeard has surpassed language.

The answer is ridiculous, even if it is ridiculous, Lorraine must accept it.

Lorraine rubbed his brows irritably: And then? Pavlomy issued a summoning order in Nassau? It will allow the two Highnesses to put aside their previous suspicions and love each other. Could it be that this summoning order is actually a black ticket against me?

There was a wry smile on the old man's face.

That Highness spent a lot of time to come to Nassau, donated 5,000 pounds to the brotherhood, and then asked us to issue a summons to all the pirate kings and great pirates, including you.

Including me?

This is really really interesting.

The special existence of the Brotherhood of the Sea, even if other pirates disagree, they will have some scruples. Even if they refuse, they have to find a plausible reason to refuse.

Only Lorraine, even if the summoning order was actually sent to Miami, Lorraine would not pay attention to it, Pavlomy would definitely guess the result, that is to say, he only wanted Lorraine to know the content of the summoning, and the content would definitely It will not harm the interests of Lorraine.

What about the content? Lorraine was interested, What is the content of the call?

I just said, I don't know. The bitterness on the old man's face became more intense, We refused the call and gave up money for it. His Highness didn't force it, and left Nassau that afternoon.

One and a half months later, His Royal Highness Cotton Jack issued a summons, narrowing the scope to three His Royal Highnesses including him and now the only candidate for the Pirate King, Viking Bonnet. As you know, only Bellamy refused the summons .”

We don't know the content of the summoning, we don't know the location of the summoning, we only know that after refusing the summoning, Bellamy's pirate group rebelled. Four ships loyal to him sank in the Gulf of Mexico, and he and the Vader disappeared.

The old man's voice fluctuated, reminding Lorraine of the special relationship between the aging guardian of the code and Bellamy, the black prince.

He used to be Bellamy's old captain, and after abandoning the ship and Bellamy inherited the title of Pirate King, the two sides still maintained a good relationship. Judging from the limited contact, Bellamy should respect him a lot.

Lorraine frowned: Have you looked for Bellamy?

Through the old men on the ship back then, I left him a message using the password at that time. Henry the Hound issued a black coupon and put a reward of 1,000 pounds on his head.

The only way for him to survive now is to go ashore and take an oath to become the guardian of the code. Only then will the black certificate lose its validity, and he will not have to live in fear of being hunted down...

Lorraine looked at the old man from a different place: Very good suggestion, did he refuse it?

I don't know if he will receive the message at all. The old man sighed, There is no beacon in the vast sea, so my message can only be placed in the hands of the long-term agreed place and the familiar intelligence dealer. The sex is very little, even if he receives it, he may not listen to me, just like back then...

then?

Leonardo, His Royal Highness Bellamy, the third black prince, he is not only my crew member, but also my grandson.

The bloody plot suddenly unfolded in front of Lorraine, and many unreasonable things in today's meeting were solved at once.

Lorraine laughed: No wonder...you want me to find him and rescue him?

The old man was noncommittal about Lorraine's guess, he said softly.

Cotton Jack has a personal enmity with you. The old summons may have nothing to do with you, but since you are here, it means that the new summons probably has something about you.

Cotton Jack, Henry the Hound, Bonnet the Viking, Bellamy the Black Prince, my grandson is the only one in this world who knows the content of the Summoning Order and is willing to tell you.

I want nothing more than him to be alive and well, which is fair.

Lorraine pondered for a moment: Yes, this is indeed fair.
