Chapter 111 The rookie captain who can only sail and the pirate who can't swim

"Poseidon?"

O'Neill certainly knew one of the twelve main gods of Greece, the ruler of Atlantis, Poseidon.

Most pirates worship Calypso, the goddess of the sea.

However, Poseidon's name is also known to everyone.

Dare to use the name of the sea god as the name of the ship, which shows the ambition of this man!
"The name is very good, but will it offend that sea god?"

Rorschach, who has learned about the world view of "Assassin's Creed", naturally knows that Poseidon in this world is actually a member of the ancient race Isu civilization.

It was only through the spread of human beings for thousands of years that they gradually became the gods in Greek mythology.

Besides, if God doesn't love him, would he love a naked man with a fork?

Of course, just because he doesn't care, doesn't mean he can ignore the concerns of the crew.

Therefore, Rorschach explained seriously the reason why he chose this name:
"On the contrary, this is awe of the vast sea and our determination to conquer the sea in the future! I believe that with the protection of Poseidon, we will be invincible above the sea!"

When a name is attached with meaning, it will suddenly become sacred.

And Rorschach's well-founded explanation successfully dispelled the concerns of Big O'Neill and other crew members, and even made them feel proud.

Sailing under the protection of Poseidon... how daring and inspiring it sounds!

. . .

As the night darkened, a ray of light slowly rose above the sea level.

Five hours had passed since Rorschach and the others left Kingston.

And during this time, since no one else on board could steer, Luo Xia, the new captain, could only control the rudder all the time.

Fortunately, when Rorschach was a bounty hunter in Westworld, he was used to adjusting his sleep state.

Even if he doesn't sleep for a day and a night, it won't have much impact on him.

Moreover, with the route provided by the old sailor, he only needs to follow the route and adjust the sails from time to time according to the direction of the wind.

If they really want to rest, they can also find a small island, drop anchor and rest temporarily, and set off after dawn...

At this time, Big O'Neill, who was carrying an oil lamp, and Little O'Neill, who always followed behind his brother like a shadow, came to the stern again.

Handing a bottle of rum with the lid off to Rorschach, Big O'Neill immediately raised his chin and said:
"I found this in the cabin. According to the Pirate Code, you should enjoy the first bottle of wine first."

Hearing this, Luo Xia took it with one hand, poured a sip into his mouth, and responded casually: "Thanks, I just happened to be a little thirsty."

Rum, the favorite of pirates, is also a must.

By mixing it with drinking water, it can kill microscopic organisms in the water, add different flavors, and prevent scurvy by adding sugar and lemon juice.

"I went to the cabin just now, and the situation on the boat is much better than I imagined."

Frowning, Luo Xia immediately asked, "How?"

"There is no damage to the hull, and there are not too many stains on the deck. The inner chamber and barrel of the cannon are very clean, and the matchlock is also new. It is obvious that this is a well-maintained ship."

"I guess, the Poseidon was parked in Kingston for the purpose of unloading and resupplying. It's just that we drove away before the resupply was finished."

Handing the bottle back to O'Neal, Rorschach couldn't help joking: "Although I don't know who the captain is. But, what an unlucky guy..."

"Haha, I can't agree more. But his bad luck is our good luck."

The Poseidon is a standard Spanish brig with sixteen cannons, eight on each side of the deck.

The Jackdaw in the game is also this type of ship.

However, after the magical modification by Ubisoft inventors, the firepower of the Jackdaw has reached the level of a fourth-tier battleship, with as many as [-] to [-] guns!
Of course, games are games and reality is reality.

For the Poseidon, which had less than twenty people on board, it didn't really matter whether it had cannons or not.

Because they are seriously understaffed!

It is already good to let the Poseidon sail on the sea.

To make these sixteen cannons work, more crew members have to be added...

Picking up the wine bottle, he poured tons of tons into his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth casually, and then the quartermaster of the Poseidon continued:

"Although there is no valuable cargo. However, there are a lot of ammunition and weapons in the cabin. Sabers, flintlock pistols, and a lot of gunpowder are enough to equip all of us."

After a pause, Big O'Neal looked at Rorschach's attire, and seriously suggested: "You'd better pick some too, so that you look more like a captain."

"Okay, I'll go and have a look later."

"As for the cannon, we don't have enough manpower right now, so we can only hope that there won't be any pirates who try to trick us..."

Hearing this, Rorschach couldn't help asking a silly question: "Will pirates attack other pirates?"

Fortunately, O'Neill also knew that this young man who seemed calm and charismatic was a rookie who had just set sail.

Of course, the captain you choose must be assisted by yourself.

If you don't understand something, you can teach yourself to finish it...

"Of course. Pirates, after all, are a group of insatiable hellhounds. As long as they see any possibility of plunder, they will not hesitate to pounce! What's more, we are flying the flag of the British... "

"So, I propose that we should go to Havana first to replenish water and food. Then return to Nassau on New Providence Island, which is called a pirate's paradise."

Havana, Nassau, these two place names sound both strange and familiar.

When playing games, these two places are regarded as the two places with the most scenes in the plot.

"Since the signing of the Utrecht Peace Treaty, Nassau has become a country that welcomes all pirates. There, we can sell stolen goods, have fun, and recruit crews. Everything a pirate needs is there."

"After recruiting enough crew in Nassau, we can go to sea and start our adventure!"

Seeing Big O'Neill's eyes brimming with the desire for adventure, Rorschach couldn't help empathizing, and nodded:

"The plan is good, I have no complaints. However, you seem to be more suitable to be a captain than me."

"I?"

Big O'Neal was startled, then waved his hands, "Forget it, I'm not expected to be a captain."

"why?"

"A captain who can't sail cannot be recognized. What's more..."

Before Big O'Neal finished speaking, Jr. O'Neill, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth to help his brother and added:
"He can't swim."

As soon as these words came out, Rorschach looked at Big O'Neill's constipated expression, and couldn't help laughing out:

"Haha, a pirate quartermaster who can't swim, and a rookie captain who can only sail?"

"Oh, I'm starting to worry about our future..."
