Turtle Island, the sanctuary of pirates.

This pirate island hanging at the exit of the Windward Strait is the Antarctic of the Bahamas. From a geographical point of view, it should be regarded as the land extension of Hispaniola Island.

It has a long and narrow island body, 32 kilometers long and less than 5 kilometers wide, with four legs extending and embracing the bay.

These extended beaches and cliffs make its outline like a turtle lying on the sea, and the sea fog that rises from time to time makes its position looming, even if it is near the more developed French colony of Santo Domingo. would attract too many visits.

Islands like this are everywhere in the Caribbean Sea, and the reason why Turtle Island can be chosen by picky pirates is because it has the most precious fresh water in the sea.

There is a quiet volcano in the center of the island, and there is a water source at the southern foot of the volcano. Like a gift from nature, a miraculous silver belt is outlined in the island, allowing the entire island to have endless water.

Abundant fresh water resources shape the lush vegetation on the island, and the lush vegetation supports the tropical ecology of the mountains and plains.

Lorraine has always been curious about how those species that fear the ocean took root on each island.

Although the knowledge of later generations clearly told him that most of the terrestrial animals migrated in ancient times, before the land passages were submerged by sea water.

All in all it was amazing.

In contrast, the people on the island are not so magical.

Because humans can build ships and pirates can sail them.

The pirates who lived towards the sea settled down on this small island hundreds of years ago, and the history of human settlement is no different from the time when the Spaniards opened up the new continent.

But even after going through such a long time and prosperity for such a long time, the idle vagrants still failed to leave civilization on this island, and even a decent wharf is not even located on the winding coastline here. Failed to build.

"Pirates... What is the value of this species to humans?"

Leaning against the brand new bow of the Golden Deer facing the sea breeze, Lorraine muttered to himself with a playful smile.

"reef!"

"Pay attention to turbulence, be careful of turbulence, and notify the Liao Ship to pay attention to coordination!"

"The admiral has an order! The bureaucrats will not dock, but anchor on both sides of the flagship. All will maintain a level-3 alert, level-3 alert!"

"The tide is ebbing now, beware of running aground. Full starboard, tap!"

With a command, the Golden Deer turned around the bow slowly and steadily, and the iron anchor sank with a clatter, smashing into the floating sand at the bottom of the water, fixing the whole ship on the sea surface more than ten meters away from the beach.

Lorraine saw Cupid and the Three-Eyed Raven.

They stayed at a position about 20 meters away from the Golden Deer in a bilaterally symmetrical manner, and were turning around so that the 45-degree slope of the bow faced the opposite sea area, giving full play to the density and power of the side gunfire.

Seeing their appearance, Lorraine laughed dumbly.

"The horizontal Golden Deer and the oblique side ships, are you going to bombard Turtle Island? Too nervous."

Dylan, who was in charge of coordinating the overall operation of the fleet, had seriousness and earnestness written all over his face.

"Admiral, be prepared! Barto has prepared fifty guards for you, all equipped with long and short guns, and he will personally lead the team..."

"Look at the colored-eyed skeletons on our mast-tip, old Dylan, don't ignore our identities." Lorraine smiled and pointed to the pirate flag flying high, "This is a holy temple, even if the decoration is a bit dilapidated , but as pirates, we needn't be nervous here."

Dylan didn't relax because of Lorraine's advice: "Admiral, you're going to Tortuga. Everyone there is dirty, festering scum and scum, and they have nothing but life. You Totally different from them!"

"I always feel like you scolded me too..." Lorraine rolled her eyes, "But it's not important, um... fifty guards are unnecessary. Let's take a step back, I'll just take Henna, you Let Barto reduce the number of guards to thirty, and make at least one of the small boats more spacious..."

...

the dinghy is lowered,

Carrying Lorraine, Hannah and the guards headed for the beach.

It's just that the boat is still a little overloaded.

Although the number of people was agreed upon with the tense temporary seamen, Barto and Dylan conspired to cram people into the boat in different ways.

The guards are the guards. In addition to the guards, each boat needs four oarsmen and two escort guards, so there are 12 more people, plus 33 people who landed on the island. The assault boat with a load of 40 people is crammed into 45 people.

Fortunately, they still took care of Lorraine's pride. 30 of the 45 people crossed on the auxiliary boat in the arrangement of canned sardines. Lorraine's main boat only had 15 people, which barely met the requirement of spaciousness.

For this kindness, Lorraine could only laugh it off.

The place they are going to is called Tortuga, which literally translates to Turtle Island in Spanish.

As the origin of the name of Turtle Island, it has now become a special name for pirates, specifically referring to the holy place of pirates in the deep jungle and the seat of the Sea Brothers Council.

Katerina said that it was a wooden dome hall built by a small lake, which enshrined the original "Pirate Code" handwritten by Morgan and the "New Code" written by the "Pirate and Pseudo-Emperor" Black Baron Pavlomy. 】, Just like the significance of the "Old Testament" and "New Testament" to Christians, it is a sacred object in the pirate world.

They are guarded by the spirit and fame of the Brotherhood of the Sea and the Kings of the Sea.

That's the way it is.

The Brotherhood of the Sea is a patriarchal body of 12 known as the Keepers of the Code, each of whom has been exposed to the charts of Morgan, who carry the honor of piracy.

Whether it is the lucky one who handed over the map to the brotherhood, or the ambitious person who joined the competition for the king, their names will be recorded by the brotherhood.

When there are vacancies for 12 people, someone will find them in order and ask them if they are willing to sacrifice their pirate ship to the ship grave at the east end of Turtle Island, and then go ashore to become the guardian of the code of law that accepts sacrifices from all pirates and remains neutral forever .

Most pirates couldn't bear such a simple temptation, especially in the legend, a pirate swore on the gallows to become the guardian of the code, but was released by the executed navy on the spot.

From Lorraine's point of view, such rumors that he is obviously paying for himself is not at all credible, but he is here to apply for qualifications today, and since he needs to use someone else, he is willing to support the other party's political propaganda.

That's right, navies all over the world wear the same pants as pirates.

These outlaws who can't even build a dock are widely respected all over the world, such as King George of England, King Louis of France, and the like, they dare not stroke their beards at all.

Or...orca baleen?

Strolling along the beach, Lorraine and the guards walked slowly to the middle of the island.

Along the way, he was embraced by the waves and dense forests, and except for the pirate ships that could be seen from time to time on the sea, he hardly felt any human traces.

Until here, he saw two obviously pruned oak trees, one bent to the left and the other to the right, with intertwined branches and leaves, forming a towering door together.

On the bark, someone wrote messy handwriting with blood-like paint.

【BLOODWAY】

The Blood Road, the blood-stained path, also has a special meaning in China, which is another name for the Animal Road.

Lorraine couldn't help laughing.

"It's a mystery, but the name of the road is apt. It's a pity that the person who named it probably won't understand the meaning of the name. It would be a waste to simply use it to scare people."

As usual, Haina was interested in these weird things, raised her hand and tightened her loose smock, and asked with her face open, "What wasted?"

"Bloodway, I think it's a waste to hide such an overbearing name on a desert island."

Haina curled her lips in disdain: "Even the holy mountain of Assassin dare not claim to be a bloody path, mere pirate..."

Lorraine couldn't help but laugh: "It's as if you have been to the holy mountain."

"I went to the Holy Mountain with my father when I was a child, but it was corrupted. After the fall of Eagle's Nest City, no one stayed there."

"That's also expected." Lorraine shrugged. "Come on, gentlemen, we are going to visit the legendary Sea Brotherhood. Don't let people look down on Drake's descendants."
