A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

No, the credibility of the pirates should not be trusted... the common good should be trusted.

Didn't that "Jack Sparrow" keep saying that the Black Pearl was actually his ship and that he wanted to get back the captain's seat?It doesn't matter even if we use each other for a while, I will save my beloved woman, you will be your captain, we will have nothing to do with each other from now on, that's enough.

It's just that Turner hasn't figured it out yet, the two pirates can obviously act on their own...why did they have to bring along their own blacksmith?I've never heard of a pirate ship that needs a ship's blacksmith...

He walked into the blacksmith's shop full of thoughts.

The real owner of the smithy was still drunk and snoring loudly, but Turner kicked him, and the old bastard didn't wake up.

"...Sparrow?" he whispered, turning his head to look around.

The blacksmith's shop is not big, and he is very familiar with it, so he can tell at a glance whether anyone is hiding; but after looking around for a few times, he couldn't find the two pirates, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed... I shouldn't believe it Their!What is the truth in the mouth of the pirates?

At this moment, a few bird calls came from the rear window.

Turner walked over suspiciously, but was dragged out by two hands, and fell firmly into the mud under the window.

"Don't shout, Turner. You didn't come back with the soldiers. I can take it that you agreed to our proposal? Go to be a pirate with us?" Jack asked the little blacksmith by pressing his shoulder.

"...I will go to sea with you, but I will never be a pirate! Never!" Turner said firmly.

"...All right." Jack obviously didn't want to say more to him, he stood up first, took a good look at the situation on the street, and went to a place where there were few people.

"Let's go, master." Luo Sanpao urged Turner from behind with a sneer, "I forgot something and didn't take it? I don't have time to prepare for you."

He didn't know where to get another set of clothes, covered his eyebrows with a headscarf, and shaved his own beard; this way, even if he bumped into the British army he snatched once last night, he might not recognize him out of him.

Turner looked at him, pursed his lips, and made up his mind in his heart. Without looking back, he followed the footsteps of "Captain Jack Sparrow".

The three avoided people's eyes and ears, and walked all the way to the port from the alley and under the bridge.

Last night, the Black Pearl plundered Port Royal. At this time, there were still traces of fighting in the port, and the British soldiers were busy clearing the dead bodies out of the port area and restoring order in and out of the port.

Recently, few merchant ships dared to call at Port Royal. If it wasn’t for the fact that the colony’s agricultural development was good and there was no need to transport food from overseas, I’m afraid it would be a problem for these people to eat.

All the ships of the Royal Navy did not moor in the port, but sailed slowly in the surrounding waters, on alert, and the captains all had pale faces.

Such a huge naval fleet was caught off guard by a pirate ship last night... Everyone felt ashamed.

Especially the captain of this ship, whose complexion can't be called ashen, it can be said to be dark.When the Black Pearl came calling last night, he was watching the night on the ship; but until the black ship approached, he didn't organize troops, and he didn't even roll up the anchor, let alone launch a cannon.

Seeing the skull and skull flag drifting closer and closer, the sailors jumped out of the boat and swam back to the port one after another. His own hat was also picked up on the tip of the knife by the pirates.

This morning, he was called by the brigadier general. He stood at attention with his head bare, and as expected, he was scolded.

Norrington said he was: "Having no sense of honor in the Royal Navy, not even ability to pass."

If the governor hadn't been persuading him, he might have been stripped of his position on the spot and told to guard the lighthouse.

It’s just that the captain felt aggrieved. There were so many warships in Port Royal last night, and I was the only one who went to watch the night with a strong sense of responsibility. The others didn’t make a fool of themselves, but that’s because they didn’t show up at all!

He was angry with the brigadier general, and of course he would spread the fire on his sailors when he came back.

"Is your cable tied up, bastard! Wait until I start to tie it again! ... You, and you, what are you two standing there looking at? Move these buckets of oranges in ... I don't know how recently Is it possible to go to sea?!" The captain yelled and cursed harshly on the boat.

The sailors were being scolded all over the place by him, and they suddenly stopped their movements and stared at their captain.

"Okay, okay, so you also know that we are going to sea. I'm really sorry, can I invite you to get off the boat? Let the oranges stay."

A few drenched men climbed onto the side of the battleship, and before the sailors on board said anything, they drew out their knives and put them against the captain's throat, controlling the situation.One of them, with his mustache braided, flicked the water out of his hat and said so to everyone.

"Are you crazy?" The captain looked at these incomprehensible people and mocked, "You three just want to drive such a big ship? Where can you go without sailors? You can't even get out of the port. "

"Son, it's Captain Jack Sparrow standing in front of you. Got it?"

Jack smiled and said this to the other party, then pulled out the knife from his waist and pressed it against the other party's chest: "Don't I need to remind you again, gentlemen?"

Luo Sanpao, holding a knife, also stepped forward, and drove the people onto the lifeboat, leaving the unfortunate captain as the last one.

Just before the captain was about to board the lifeboat, he suddenly grinned and picked up the captain's hat with a knife: "I see that your hat is gaudy and trimmed with gold, it's very pretty! Lend me a pair of hats for you to wear." wore!"

The captain's face turned pale.

After a while, Commodore Norrington, who was counting the losses at Port Royal, discovered that a warship in the bay was sailing out of the port without receiving an order.

He quickly grabbed the binoculars, but at the rudder, he saw Jack Sparrow, who was arrested yesterday and escaped from prison at some point, and the little blacksmith.

"...These bastards...Will Turner, you are so reckless."

Brigadier General Norrington gritted his teeth and turned back to order: "The Intrepid has been hijacked, get on board quickly! Get on the Interceptor, let's go after it!"

The "elite British army" in Port Royal moved quickly and boarded the fastest ship in the Royal Navy, the Interceptor.

Of all the warships of the Royal Navy stationed here, there is no doubt that the hijacked HMS Dreadnought is the largest and most powerful.But when it comes to speed, it can't match the newer design of the Interceptor.

The two ships have almost the same sail area, but the smaller Interceptor can run at a speed of 18 knots, which is also the top among the new warships of various countries in the vast Caribbean Sea.

In particular, it was not difficult to drive this ship. Almost in an instant, more than [-] heavily armed soldiers, together with Commodore Norrington, stood on the deck of the Interceptor and quickly chased towards the port.

I don't know what the people who hijacked the ship were thinking. There are less than [-] people on the deck of such a large warship as the Intrepid, and they can't move at all. Now, the sails are not fully lowered, and they are heading towards the exit of the harbor with the wind Turtle is moving forward.

"Catch it, jump over and stop the boat. Shoot anyone you see!" Norrington said.

However, it didn't take long for the Interceptor and the Dreadnought to go hand in hand, and the speed of the Dreadnought gradually slowed down, and finally stopped altogether.His Excellency the Commodore showed his excellent physical fitness and sailing skills, and proudly stepped onto the deck of the Intrepid after jumping with the help of a cable.

"...Where are those stupid pirates?"

Brigadier General Norrington raised his head and asked.

The soldiers present had searched every corner of the Intrepid, and even went down to search in the cabin, but they couldn't find any traces of pirates.

At this moment, Norrington seemed to have thought of something, and quickly looked back at the Interceptor, which was in a smaller circle, only to see that it had raised its full sails and was speeding away towards the bay.

The pirate Jack Sparrow standing by the steering wheel waved his hat this way and laughed a few times.

Within a few seconds, they were already far away from the jumping distance, and the Intrepid, whose steering wheel hinge was cut off, was slowly crashing into the port of Port Royal with the tide.

Luo Sanpao grabbed the cable, jumped all the way from the top of the Interceptor's mainsail, limped to the side of the ship, sneered at the British soldiers behind him, spat in a low voice, and said, "This gang If someone was under my Luo San gunner, I would have kicked him to dig the latrine. How the hell can no one stay on the boat when he jumps?!"

Turner next to him was in a depressed mood. Before he secretly hid behind the sail and looked for an opportunity to jump over, he had already heard what Brigadier Norrington said... The Brigadier called the three people here pirates.Although this was the price he was willing to pay to save Elizabeth, he was always unhappy in his heart.

Jack, who was staring at the steering wheel, licked his lips and shouted to this side: "Sorry, Turner! You just joined us and seized the British Navy's ships in the British colonies. This is out of the question Piracy! Hahaha!"

Chapter 5 Thieves have their way

It is actually difficult for people who have lived on land for a long time to understand what the "ocean" is.

Port Royal was no longer visible, and there was endless sea water all around, and the waves hit the hull and stirred up layers of foam.In the distance facing the bow of the ship, the sea and the sky are connected into a piece of blue.

Even when the Caribbean Sea is relatively calm, it is impossible for the Interceptor to maintain full sail and move forward at full speed; this is especially true for other sailing ships of this era. Every time they go to sea, at least a dozen or 20 God can reach the destination.

The long-distance ships coming here from mainland Europe along the ocean currents need to spend several months or years in the Atlantic Ocean.

Over time, the unchanging surrounding scenery can easily affect people psychologically, and even drive healthy people crazy, but Jack Sparrow and Luo Sanpao have long been used to this kind of life.

Once they sailed out of the port, they automatically entered the state of "isolation" and leisurely began to find things to do and talk about on their own.

Standing behind the rudder, Jack took out the compass to confirm the direction, nodded calmly, fixed the steering wheel, took off his hat and buckled it on the handle bar, and walked down to the helm position with a swaying waist.

The walking movements that seemed a bit weird at first, were unusually stable and as smooth as walking on the ground on this sea boat swaying with the waves.

Luo Sanpao tied up the sail, sat cross-legged on the side of the ship, watched him approaching, and asked thoughtfully, "Surely it won't work with just these three on board?"

"I can't..." Jack replied, "So I'm going to Turtle Island and find some people before I start."

"Where is Turtle Island?" Luo Sanpao asked again.

Jack Sparrow shrugged and told him about the Caribbean.

There are mixed fish and dragons here, the colonies of European countries are dotted across North and South America, and the frequent exchanges of merchant ships from various continents have naturally attracted the attention of many outlaws.

There are many islands near the Caribbean Sea, which are the most suitable places for pirates to hide in them. The lair of the great forces, and the neutral island Turtle Island.

The so-called neutral does not mean that it is open to everyone equally.Only bandits who do not belong to any country can be recognized by Turtle Island, at least they must be privateers.

Pirates and merchants selling stolen goods throughout the Caribbean will berth at Turtle Island to trade goods, replenish supplies, and recruit sailors. If anyone dares to disclose the location of that island to the navies of various countries, the nine pirate kings will unite and sell the island to the sea. The message and the person who received the message are killed together.

Because it is too far away from the mainland, no European country can invest too much power here; although Port Royal has just been beaten to the center of the town by the Black Pearl, the British Royal Navy is really such a place. The most powerful official fleet on the sea.

At this time, the little blacksmith Turner who had just finished his work also came over and said to the two:

"...I've heard of it too, the heaven for you villains..."

Jack smiled irresponsibly, but Luo Sanpao didn't like to hear that.

He is indeed not a good person, but the attitude of the other party always reminds him of another Hong Kong marine policeman who is about the same age, which makes people angry and evil.

Luo Sanpao squinted his eyes, grinned, and said with a sneer: "Now we are people on the same boat and grasshoppers on the same rope. If I am a villain, you are at least a villain."

Turner's face also changed. In his heart, his ancestors were good citizens for generations, and even his own father served as a guard on a merchant ship and died after being attacked by pirates; , but he definitely didn't want to be confused with these two people.

So the young and energetic blacksmith immediately sneered and said: "...I don't live by robbing others. I was born an honest person. I rely on my own hands to make money for food. My father is a respectable law-abiding citizen... "

At this moment, Jack beside him burst out laughing, which stunned the angry little blacksmith Turner. He immediately turned to him and asked, "What are you laughing at, you pirate?"

"Sorry, but I find it funny to hear people use words like 'respectable' and 'law-abiding' to describe him."

Jack laughed blatantly, and after a while, seeing that Turner's eyes were burning, he shook his body and explained: "Your father's name is William Turner. Few people know his real name, and people call him Nicknamed 'Shoelace', or 'Shoelace Bill.' He's a good pirate, a real brazen bastard, never soft on a kill... I know you, boy, I knew you the first time I saw you Except you, you look exactly like your father."

"...No, you lied to me!"

The little blacksmith obviously couldn't accept this fact, he quickly pulled out the knife he made himself from his waist, pointed at Jack, and said in a trembling voice: "My father is not a pirate!"

Jack shut his mouth, staring into his eyes without speaking.

But the other person present was already annoyed. Luo Sanpao put his hands on the deck, stood upside down, and kicked the knife in Turner's hand away, making the little blacksmith unsteady and staggered a few steps. The person hit the side railing and flipped out of the ship's side.

Captain Sparrow reacted quickly, and immediately flung a cable down, and the taut knot just caught Turner's foot.

He hung the other end of the cable on the mortise on the side, and shouted down a few times: "How about it, Turner? You can deny our way of life, but sooner or later you have to admit that you have pirate blood in your body." .Now, call me when you've calmed down, and we'll get you up—there's no way these two can get this boat to Turtle Island."

Naturally Turner yelled: "I know, I know! Ah, my leg is going to be ripped off!"

"How can it be so easy to break?" Luo Sanpao sneered, but still pulled the little blacksmith up. "Captain" he was right, it was unrealistic for two people to drive such a big boat.

Jack also helped to drag the young man up, and while he was still panting on the deck, he knelt down and said to him, "There are no honest people like you imagined in this Caribbean Sea. What are those Englishmen doing? Minerals, tobacco, tropical fruits, and slaves!"

In America in this era, all countries are desperately plundering the wealth of the colonies, and there has never been any concept of sustainable development.

Ships departing from Europe will first stop on the west coast of Africa due to ocean currents, exchange some weapons, textiles, useless decorations, etc. for slaves from the local area, then cross the Atlantic Ocean, and head to the colonies; in the colonies, they will exchange slaves for goods and gold and silver , all the way back to Europe.

It's not just the black slaves brought over from Africa, the local colonists have already given up their moral bottom line in the process of "opening up".

At the beginning, some exiles and poor people brought in from Europe could still support small-scale production; later, the plantations and mines became bigger and bigger, and these "citizens" who had made money and regained their freedom were unwilling to work hard They took weapons and went to the inland to capture the aborigines. Later, the aborigines were exhausted and tortured to death. They had no choice but to buy black Africans from slave traders.

Today, it can be said that Port Royal is like any other colony, every inch of flat land is watered by the blood and tears of slaves.

Of course, people's moral concepts at this time were not as advanced as those of later generations. These slaves were generally not regarded as "human beings" like Europeans, and the colonists did not have any moral burden to do these things.

The pirates in the Caribbean Sea, except for those Europeans with privateer licenses and even titles, are mostly composed of exploited people from the colonies.

There are white people who have sold their strength but have not been granted citizenship and are too poor to survive, there are native people whose homes have been destroyed and loved ones killed, there are black people who have run away from ships and colonies, and these people offspring.

Because of this, while they were vicious, murdering and stealing, and making a living by plundering, they also naturally developed a set of rules, or "a tacit understanding between bastards".

In the Pirate Code written by Henry Morgan and perfected by Captain Bartholomew Roberts, the most important core spirit is that everyone is equal and helps each other.

Take the famous Roberts precepts as an example: take the "ship" as the unit, except for obeying the captain's orders, everyone has equal voting rights in all daily affairs; stealing the property of the accomplices, killing or injuring the accomplices is not allowed ; Women are not allowed to be forced; deserters are not allowed to die, and those who are disabled due to combat can stay on board without working and receive pensions.

These rules, of course, have nothing to do with the race and origin of the crew.

Jack Sparrow does not deny his own evil.

He tapped the little blacksmith's chest and continued: "...I am a pirate, but I don't think those people in Port Royal are necessarily nobler than me. At least I am not afraid to admit what I have done....Mr. Luo, You are an old sailor, and this kid will be in your charge before arriving at Turtle Island."

"Hey, okay, third master, I haven't taught children for a while."

[56. No. 56]

Luo Sanpao smiled. There are not many children on his Sanpao Island... most of them are young and vigorous, and they come and go quickly.

The brothers who have lived through these years are all brave and good at fighting, especially the ninth day...the one who was arrested by the Hong Kong British government and still able to escape, is really brave.

Speaking of this, he thought of Ma Rulong again... The little bastard not only lied to him, but also wronged Chu Jiu, so angry that Chu Jiu rushed out and killed himself.

Looking at the blacksmith Turner who has a similar temperament to Ma Rulong, his anger is not in the same place.

He said to Turner: "Little bastard... Listen carefully, there are 25 ways to tie knots. The third master will show you one by one in a while. If you can't learn one of them, I will beat you up. Until we get to Turtle Island."

"What's wrong with you?" Turner scolded, staring.

"I have no problem, you have... your problem is that you can't beat me, Luo Sanpao!"

Luo Sanpao yelled, and kicked the little blacksmith's ass.Turner couldn't bear the humiliation, and immediately rushed forward with a roar, but this time he didn't draw his sword...
