Two Hundred and Ninety Eighth Sharks and Dolphins
"Being a Pirate ()" Find the latest chapter!
Like a manifesto.
Bellamy's cynical face showed seriousness for the first time.
Of course he didn't really know nothing about Lorraine as he showed.
As one of the seven pirate kings of the Caribbean, the top figure in the pirate world, no matter how simple his nature is, the majesty and arrogance brought by that title will not allow him to be ashamed of a stranger who knows nothing. relatively.
In fact, there is only one reason why he approached Lorraine so deliberately, that is, someone wanted him to do so.
The man told him that there were three warships moored in the south of the island, one modified fifth-tier, one standard fifth-tier, and one high-speed sixth-tier, flying the colorful pupil pirate flag uniformly.
However, there is no record of the Skull with Colorful Eyes in the records of the Brotherhood of the Sea.
This discovery made the man suddenly alert.
According to the current popular naval algorithm, the strength of the colorful-eyed skeleton visiting Turtle Island exceeds 100 guns. There are hundreds of pirates floating in the Caribbean, and this strength is enough to rank firmly in the top 30.
Not to mention the high quality of this mysterious fleet.
The ships are new and well maintained, the sailors have shown good professional skills in the process of approaching the shore, and the final berth and posture of the fleet show that they have tactical qualities that are rarely seen in the pirate world.
If these positive conditions are also included in the calculation, the strength of the colorful pupil skeleton will be firmly in the top ten among the pirates in the Caribbean. Even if it is still no match for the six existing pirate kings, it is definitely the most powerful under the honor pirate group.
Such a pirate group could never have appeared out of thin air!
Where did he come from and why? Is it an excellent counterpart from other sea areas, or an invading force from other worlds?
With these four questions, that person found Bellamy and persuaded Bellamy to stand in front of Lorraine.
Now Lorraine has Bellamy's answer.
Privateering merchants.
A privateer in the Caribbean.
A privateer who wants to be a pirate king.
An excellent colleague from other worlds who wants to win the pirate world.
Is this the truth from Lorraine?
Bellamy narrowed her eyes slightly, trying to distinguish the truth from the falsehood from Lorraine's expression.
But he can't.
Lorraine's expression is always far away, and her true emotions are concealed under her acting skills.
Either true or false, half true, half false, sometimes true and sometimes false.
The only message Bellamy could make out was that Lorraine didn't trust him, and wasn't prepared to trust him.
Miscalculated...
A strong sense of frustration lingered in Bellamy's heart.
He knew that it was time for him to end decently. At this time, he should take the news from Lorraine and pass it on to that person intact. As for whether it is true or false, there will be interested people to continue to verify.
But that meant he admitted defeat.
Even if this victory or defeat has nothing to do with profit or life and death, failure is failure, and Bellamy hates failure.
He suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, and while laughing, he pulled out the hand that was held back by Lorraine, holding it high until he retreated to the social distance.
"Hey, Lorraine, you almost managed to scare me," he said, "but come to think of it, why would a successful man like you have any reason to mess with us bums?"
"There is really no reason." Lorraine stared into Bellamy's eyes, "But people's behavior is not all driven by reasons. Many times it will put the cart before the horse, just like I want to be a pirate king, so I tell myself that I need Go kill some unlucky ones with skull flags."
"It might be harder than you think."
"Maybe it's not as difficult as I thought."
"Really?" Bellamy took a deep look at Lorraine, "I hope you really understand the weight of what you just said."
"Because you're going to bring it to the Sea Brotherhood?"
A moment of silence.
After silence, Bellamy laughed loudly: "Did you guess it?"
"You guessed it from the moment you introduced yourself.
Lorraine bowed slightly and smiled, "Then, Your Highness the Pirate Prince, would you like to convey my intention of coming?" "
A moment later, the Domed Hall.
Bellamy sat cross-legged on the sacred council table of the fraternity, with a dagger in hand, trimming her long nails once and for all.
Opposite him sat three old men.
The old man in the middle asked: "Leonardo, did the colorful-eyed skull really say that? Because of a sudden whim, a privateer is going to join the Pirate King's fight?"
"I remember that my job was to spread the word, old captain. Your request, Tori, does not seem to be obliged to embellish it."
"Then do you think this is his sincere words?"
Bellamy grinned: "I don't seem to have the obligation to judge whether it's true or false."
The old captain frowned displeasedly: "Leonardo, I taught you."
"That's why I insisted on sharing my wealth with the sacred Brotherhood of the Sea, instead of ignoring the call of Turtle Island like the other highnesses."
Bellamy turned over and stood up, stepped on the sacred table, and walked lazily to the display case of the Pirate Code.
"Times have changed, old folks. Sharks are about to swarm with aggressive dolphins, and you... have no choice."
...
Lorraine and Henna were invited into the dome hall, and only Barto, who was a sailor, was allowed to accompany them, while the other sailors were forced to reject them.
They are now sitting at one end of the round table, and the other end is crowded with twelve middle-aged and elderly people who have no pirate temperament, each with a magnifying glass, and in groups of six, they are seriously studying the two seas submitted by Lorraine. Tu, from time to time even whispered a few words, the dispute is very intense.
Very ridiculous feeling.
Lorraine looked at the guardians of the code who were neither noble nor brave nor domineering or even strong, and accidentally saw a dusty and dirty boot print in the middle of the table.
He suddenly regretted putting Katrina on the road mark.
The clean South Beach here, the drunks and wild mandarin ducks by the lake, the wretched fraternity, the conference table trampled at will...
He desperately needed someone to tell him whether these unruly scenes were the unruly tradition of the pirates, or the sacred corruption of the fraternity.
As Bellamy said, his ignorance of the pirates of the Caribbean and their mecca had begun to cloud his judgment.
what can we do about it?
He glanced at Barto, who was obviously nervous, and then at Hana, who had nothing to do with him, and suddenly reached out and poked the back of Hana's hand.
Hana tilted her head and threw a question mark.
"Hina, you will start the communication later, I need to understand something."
Hannah blinked, retracted the first question mark, and threw two more backhands.
"You can do it according to your temperament, don't care about the result."
"Understood." She whispered in a sandy voice.
After a long time, the guardians of the code finally verified the authenticity of the chart.
They struggled to drag the heavy high-back chairs back to their seats, straightened their clothes, and looked serious.
The old man third from the right struck the wooden hammer.
"Now, question time."
Lorraine frowned, because the old man used the word [remonstration], but there was no coercive atmosphere at the scene.
"Lorraine Anason Drake, where did the token of the Pirate King come from in your hand!"
Lorraine just closed her eyes.
"I snatched it." Hana said crisply.
"Uh... what we want to know is where it came from."
"Black Mamba, and red-haired Katrina."
"The name of the Black Mamba!"
"It's been too long, I forgot." Henna was straightforward and strong, "He said you gave it to him, you should be familiar with him."
"Of course we remember!" The fourth middle-aged man from the left blushed furiously, "Where are Lorraine Anason Drake, black Manny Philard and red-haired Katerina!"
Hai Na raised her eyebrows: "Kill the man, let the woman go."
"And where are the Viper and the Spanish Rose?"
"It's sinking."
"It's all sunk?"
Haina thought about it seriously, then nodded: "It's all sinking."
This is the effect of letting Henna let her temper go... Lorraine sighed, and the corners of her mouth turned up inadvertently.
On the question of thinking, he finally came to a conclusion.
The authority is lost, and the color is fierce and timid.
No matter what glorious past the Brotherhood of the Sea has had, but now, there are only a bunch of useless old people left here.
This means that Lorraine no longer needs to have any scruples.
He gently squeezed Henna's hand, and said with a smile: "End this boring conversation, gentlemen. In my opinion, you should have received the news that Ferrard ambushed Katerina, and that Katerina Escaping aboard my ship, knowing my pirate-ceremonial execution of Ferrard and my exchange of charts with Catalina on the Viper."
"At first, you might not be able to connect the two together. After all, my Golden Deer has undergone a lot of modification, and my skeleton flag was only seen by Ferrard and his team members for a while before he died, and then I will see it again." Didn't show up anywhere."
"But when you see the chart, all of this should be connected. You may want to verify the authenticity of the news or recall the details of the intelligence by asking, but since the chart is real, all of this is actually unnecessary .”
"The sea chart is mine. Whether I bought it from an auction house, picked it up in the water, or gave it as a gift from a friend, its sacred property rights will not change in any way, and the rights and interests it brings should also be protected. "
The old man on the sixth left sneered.
"Sacred property rights? Lorraine Anason Drake, this is Turtle Island, and we are discussing the sacred relics of the Pirates of the Caribbean Emperor. Only the Brotherhood of the Sea is entitled to their real property rights. If we want Take it back, you have to obey."
Hearing this, the competent Henna was about to explode.
Lorraine held her hand, not sullen.
"This sentence, can I understand that you have the willingness to redeem the chart?"
The third from the left snorted coldly: "You can also understand it this way, a businessman who only cares about profit."
"In this case, we are talking about business." Lorraine slowed down his speech, and knocked on the table every time he said a sentence, as if knocking on the bottom of a person's heart, "This is a chart worth a million pounds, and it points to The legendary Fountain of Youth. The Fountain of Youth is a priceless treasure, but the mere unconfirmed news is not worth being too precious for the treasure itself.”
"Considering that everyone here may not be good at mathematics, let's keep it simple, and the price is 1.2 million pounds. The sea chart is worth 2.2 million pounds, so one-twentieth of it is 100,000 pounds, and two copies are two. One hundred thousand pounds..."
"You are blackmailing!" The second from the right exclaimed.
"Businessmen don't blackmail, they only offer choices." Lorraine said indifferently, "I have the right to choose under what circumstances to accept your redemption conditions, and you also have the right to choose whether to buy it, or to publicly recognize my ownership of the chart. All the power, the legal right, that it can bring me."
Talking legal in the temple of outlaws, the dolphins headed the ball in the center of the shark pack.
"Dear guardians of the code, merchants and pirates have different understandings of time and contracts. So please tell me, should I exercise the power of pirates with your permission, or skip you and do my own thing?"
