Chapter 133 The Poseidon Resounding in the Caribbean
Within two months, Rorschach used the information provided by the Cuban Governor Torres to carry out unscrupulous sea hunting in the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

The elusive Poseidon, like a ghost, always chooses the most unexpected moment for its prey to appear suddenly.

After the quick looting, they fled away immediately, without giving the navy any chance to pursue them.

With the description and publicity of the survivors on the merchant ship, the names of the Poseidon and Rorschach quickly spread throughout the Caribbean.

The black flag printed with a dragon pattern has become the unique logo of Poseidon.

As long as they see the dragon-shaped black flag fluttering on the sea, all ships will know that it is the Poseidon!

The rumors and notoriety of the Poseidon, like ink on white paper, quickly spread among the many ports along the Caribbean coast.

Kingston, Boston, Port-au-Prince, Puerto Juarez, Caracas…

Among the many rumors, there are only two pieces of real information that have been confirmed many times:

First of all, the captain of the Poseidon is a very young Oriental.

Then, the captain is very educated and principled, and will not be as cruel as other pirates. Even if he surrenders, he will abuse or kill the captives.

As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, obediently hand over all the cargo on board, everyone on board can survive!
This is also the reason why, seeing the black dragon flag of the Poseidon, the first officer risked being sent to a court-martial afterwards and persuaded the captain to surrender.

He doesn't want to die yet!
There is also a newly married wife at home, who is still waiting for his return...

However, facing the persuasion of the chief mate, the captain, who is a member of the Royal Navy Fleet, did not think so.

In his opinion, the British Royal Navy fleet is the overlord of this sea.

What kind of pirates are just scum that can be taken care of at will...

He raised his brows, pushed the first officer to the ground, and then pulled out the officer's long sword from his waist, shouting loudly:

"Soldier! Lock up this coward and wait until we defeat the damned pirates before we can have a trial."

"Don't do this, you are sending us to hell with your own hands!"

"captain!"

"captain!!"

Watching the soldiers escort the desperately shouting chief mate down, the captain turned his head to look at the approaching black-sailed ship, his eyes were firm, and he waved his sword:
"Soldiers, the time has come to serve the king. If we repel these plundering pirates, His Majesty the King will definitely reward you!"

"Gunner, get ready!"

Just as the gunners on the ship were ready, the Poseidon, with its black sails fluttering, adjusted its course first, made a sharp turn with full left rudder, and turned its port side to the merchant ship.

While looking at the row of pitch-black cannon muzzles, the captain standing at the bow, the pupils of his eyes dilated suddenly, as if aware of what was about to happen next.

The next second, the cannon roared!

Bang bang bang!
Shells hit the hull one after another.

One of the chain bullets flew straight past the bow of the ship.

The captain standing at the bow had no time to dodge, and was cut in half by the chain bullet on the spot.

The entire upper body flew up, and fell to the deck with a bang.

It wasn't until he saw the lower half of his body, the captain lying on the ground, that he seemed to be able to react, and was instantly swallowed by severe pain.

A shrill scream followed:

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Without the command of the captain and first mate, this armed merchant ship equipped with sixteen nine-pound cannons and more than fifty sailors could not organize an effective counterattack at all.

Soon, the whole ship was riddled with holes as if bitten by rats, and was finally occupied by pirates who boarded the ship...

When the first mate of the merchant ship was caught out of the confinement room by the pirates and thrown on the deck, he heard a magnetic voice ringing in his ears:

"I heard you just suggested they surrender?"

Hearing this, the first officer put his hands on the ground and slowly raised his head.

Under the dazzling sunlight, squinting his eyes, he saw a black-haired youth with bronze skin in a black robe, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Are you...Captain Rorschach of the Poseidon?"

Hearing this, the black-haired young man only raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his glistening teeth:
"It's me!"

. . .

New Providence.

nassau.

On the beach, many pirates gathered together, holding wine bottles, pointing at the pier.

No one else, just because another ship dared to sail into the port of Nassau and moored at the pier.

However, none of the pirates dared to approach, or have any crooked ideas.

Because, on the mast of that ship, there was a black flag with a dragon-shaped pattern!

At the same time, the Old Avery Tavern was full of excitement.

The gathered pirates were holding wine glasses and pouring tons of rum into their mouths, while talking about various anecdotes that happened on the sea.

Among them, the most talked about topics are naturally breaking into the prestigious Poseidon and the young Captain Rorschach in a short period of time.

"I heard that the Poseidon is back?"

"They seem to have made a lot of money recently. No matter what port they go to, someone seems to mention the Poseidon..."

At this time, a thin old pirate wearing a red turban suddenly said with a mysterious expression: "Guys, do you want to hear some inside information about the Poseidon?"

Hearing this, the pirates sitting at the same table were immediately attracted.

"Old Moore, where did you hear something interesting?"

Seeing that everyone was aroused, Old Moore picked up his wine glass and took a sip before slowly opening his mouth and saying:
"You guys should know Billy Big Mouth, right?"

One of the pirates responded casually: "Of course I know, that guy who always likes to spread the news on the ship. By the way, wasn't he recruited by Captain Rorschach to the ship last time?"

"That's right. You must also know that when the Poseidon came back last month, he hired two prostitutes by himself."

"However, you have no idea that before going to bed, he was bragging to the prostitutes that they robbed nearly 20 pesos worth of goods in a month!"

Hearing this astonishing number, not only the pirates sitting at the same table, but also the pirates at the next table who pricked up their ears to eavesdrop, were so startled that they almost lost their grip on the wine glasses in their hands.

"20 pesos?!"

This number is undoubtedly an astronomical number for all the pirates present.

Don't say you've seen it before, they've never heard of so much money!

When everyone was shocked, a relatively rational pirate couldn't help but questioned:

"Billy is just bragging, making 20 pesos a month? Who in Nassau can do it? Not even Blackbeard and Hornigold!"

"Yeah, unless the Poseidon went to rob the Spanish treasure ship, 20 pesos...how is that possible!"

Facing everyone's doubts, Old Moore just shrugged, spread his hands and said, "I don't know how they did it."

"But! During the few days when the crew of the Poseidon returned to the voyage, they lay in the arms of prostitutes and soaked in rum barrels almost every day, as if they had endless Spanish silver coins on them."

"The crew are so rich, it's not pretending. Some people speculate that even if there is not 20, there will be 10,000+!"
