Chapter 110 New Captain, Poseidon
Escaping Kingston is only the first step.

It is not a solution for them to sail aimlessly on the vast sea like this.

So, while controlling the rudder with one hand, Rorschach looked at Big O'Neill beside him, and asked:
"Where are we going next?"

"I sent someone down to the warehouse just now to check. Although there is some fresh water and food, there is not much. We must find a port as soon as possible to replenish supplies."

Nodding his head, Luo Xia immediately thought of something, and asked casually: "When I was in prison, I heard them calling you a quartermaster. I thought you were the captain... But then again, where is your captain going?" gone?"

"captain?"

Spreading his hands, Big O'Neal explained a cruel fact in a light tone: "Our captain has already gone to hell..."

From Big O'Neill's mouth, Rorschach learned that the O'Neill brothers and the pirates on board were originally crew members of a pirate ship named "Persistence".

Big O'Neill was the ship's quartermaster and O'Neill Jr. was the boatswain.

However, a few days ago, the "Persistence" encountered the British Royal Fleet at sea.

In the situation of being outnumbered, the "Persistence" was sunk, and all the surviving pirates on board were captured and brought back to Kingston, ready to be hanged.

Just earlier today, their captain and helmsman went to the gallows first.

Therefore, none of them knew how to sail.

Sailing and sailing are not the same thing.

To sail a boat is just to drive the boat and sail in a specific sea area without capsizing.

But sailing involves a lot of knowledge.

Especially as a pirate captain who is wanted by the fleets of various countries, there are much more things to consider than ordinary pirates.

Mastering the laws of the monsoon and how to steer a boat are just the most basic skills.

You also need to know which route is more profitable, how to build an intelligence network in each port, how to judge the cargo loading on a ship through the waterline, etc...

However, most importantly, a qualified pirate captain must know how to rob!

There are basically only three robbery modes for pirates.

The first is to stay on the major routes and plunder the passing merchant ships; the second is to use the inside lines of the major port cities to obtain information on merchant ships so as to conduct precise strikes; Raid the port, loot the town, as happened in Stonetown!
The first two are normal choices for most pirates.

The last type is a crazy move that only powerful and ambitious great pirates will occasionally make.

This can't help but make Rorschach have a lot of daydreams.

In this era, there were very few pirates who dared to attack the ports controlled by the British.

Could it be that he just passed by one of the legendary pirates just now?

With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Rorschach did not forget to reach out and pat O'Neill on the shoulder, comforting him:

"Congratulations..."

However, Big O'Neill just shook his head, his expression didn't show too much sadness, he only said calmly: "It's okay, from the moment we went to sea, we all made up our minds. Death is never terrible, what's terrible is that until death , and never embraced freedom and wealth..."

"It's you, is it your choice to be a pirate?"

Hearing this, Luo Xia was stunned for a moment, and then his brain started to run at high speed.

He is now among a group of pirates. If he is not a pirate, isn't it a bit dangerous.

Moreover, with his complexion, in this ignorant and greedy age of great exploration, it is difficult to become a big figure in society.

He couldn't think of a better way to survive than to be an unfettered pirate.

What's more, when he was playing the game "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag", he had imagined that one day he would become a pirate in the Caribbean and conquer the sea to his heart's content.

And now, there is such an opportunity!
Thinking of this, a bright light flashed across Luo Xia's black eyes, and then he showed a confident smile:

"Of course! I've always been my own master!"

Rorschach's answer made Big O'Neill very satisfied, and he nodded, "Since this is the case, then I think we have a new captain!"

"What do you mean?"

Facing Rorschach's puzzled eyes, O'Neill didn't answer, but just grinned.

In the next second, he turned around suddenly, took a big stride, stood on a wooden box beside the rudder, pulled out a saber he found in the cabin at his waist, and shouted loudly:

"Guys! Listen to me!"

When the eyes of all the pirates on the deck were concentrated, Big O'Neill rang out with a thick voice:
"The reason why we can avoid being hanged and continue to live is entirely thanks to one person..."

"It's His Excellency Rorschach who is by my side!"

Stretching out his hand to gesture to the bewildered Rorschach, O'Neill began his passionate speech:

"If it wasn't for him, who killed the guards and got the key to the cell, we wouldn't have left the prison!"

"If it weren't for him, his heroic performance in the fort bought us time, and we might have been shot to death by the British!"

"If it wasn't for him, driving this ship out of the port and avoiding the gunfire, we wouldn't be able to embrace freedom and the blue sea again!"

After a pause, he found that everyone was listening to his words with rapt attention. Big O'Neill immediately jumped out of the wooden box, came to Rorschach's side, grabbed his arm, and raised it high:
"Such brave and fearless people who never abandon their partners are the ones we should follow!"

"Therefore, I recommend His Excellency Rorschach to be the captain of this ship, leading us to pursue more wealth and adventure!"

"If you agree, just say hey!"

As soon as the words fell, all the pirates on board, including the taciturn O'Neal Jr., raised their fists and shouted without hesitation:

"Hey!!!"

Although only a dozen people.

However, the roar was still deafening to Rorschach!
A sense of pride and ambition arises spontaneously.

In the next second, he imitated Big O'Neill, stepped on the wooden box, raised his fist high, and shouted loudly with all his strength:

"My friends, since this is the case, let us set out to the sea together and plunder wealth as much as we want!"

What answered him was the uniform passionate cry of the entire crew:
"Hey!!!"

"Very well, our goal now is to find a port first, repair it temporarily, and then go to the next destination!"

"Everyone, go to your respective posts!"

After the order, Rorschach jumped down from the wooden box, looked at the grinning Big O'Neill, and joked:

"Those words sound really exciting, have you practiced in advance?"

Hearing this, O'Neal smiled slightly and spread his hands: "I've been thinking about it since I left Kingston."

Returning to the rudder again, Rorschach's expression immediately became solemn, "Then, Mr. Quartermaster, do you have any advice for this novice captain?"

"Yes, Captain! You'd better give this ship a name first."

Hearing this, Luo Xia frowned, and then thought of a ship name that he had thought of when playing games.

Pursing the corners of his lips, Rorschach's eyes were like torches, he patted the rudder, and said firmly:

"I have decided, from now on, it will be called..."

"Poseidon!"

　Thanks to "The Sow in Your Backyard", "Alex Murphy" and "Soul Box" for their rewards, Bobo!
