Chapter 179 Fight for Nassau!

The news of the "pardon" spread throughout the Caribbean, and immediately reached Nassau in the Bahamas.

The pirates reacted differently to the news.

Some people think that this is a great opportunity for them to start over; some people think that this is just a British conspiracy. Once they accept the pardon, they will be taken to a certain prison and executed secretly.

While the pirates were discussing the pardon, an urgent meeting was held in the lobby of the Fort of Liberty.

All 21 pirate captains from the Pirate Council were present.

Sitting at the head seat of a long table, Luo Xia crossed his arms and looked around the crowd calmly, before saying in a deep voice:

"I think you all know why all of you were summoned suddenly. I want to hear your thoughts on the pardon..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his temper has always been irritable, just like Charles Wayne, he stood up abruptly and roared in a hoarse voice:

"I think it's fart! It's all fucking fart!"

"It's their ruse to weaken us before they attack Nassau, just wait and see!"

Seeing Wayne expressing his attitude with great excitement, the black beard sitting first on the left side of the long table twitched his mouth and said:
"It's not a ruse, Wayne! I've heard from a smooth-talking Boston captain that the Brits will offer pardons to all pirates..."

"so what!"

Staring closely at the black beard who was dressed in black, Wayne couldn't help but frown, "Is the famous black beard planning to run away and then go up to lick King George's shoes?"

Facing Wayne's ridicule, Blackbeard's expression sank, and he was not angry, but just replied in an extremely unfriendly tone:

"I didn't say that I intend to accept the pardon. I'm just explaining the fact to you, lest your pig head can't understand."

Hearing this, Wayne frowned thickly, and wanted to open his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Rorschach's voice:
"Enough, Wayne!"

"I've heard your thoughts, and I'll give others a chance to talk."

For Rorschach, the leader who brought prosperity and development to Nassau, Wayne respected him very much. He shrugged and spread his hands:
"Well, anyway, I don't believe the pardon's nonsense at all..."

As soon as Wayne sat down, Kidd, who was sitting next to him, took over the conversation and continued:

"Regardless of whether the pardon is a trick of the British, it is clear that the British have already planned to take back Nassau by force. How to deal with it is what we have to think about next, not unnecessary quarrels."

"Kidd is right." Edward, who was sitting first on the right, had a serious face and echoed, "We must do something before King George's army arrives in Nassau!"

Maybe it's because of Nassau's booming development that Edward, who regards money as his life, has earned a lot of wealth; or because the Pirate Republic has his companions, his ideals, and a leisurely life, he naturally doesn't want the current life dispossessed by the British.

After Edward, a Dutch pirate, the pirate captain nicknamed "One-Eyed De Jong", immediately said:
"I'm thinking, is it because we have been too high-profile recently, which caused the dissatisfaction of the King of England. Or we will keep a low profile for the time being, not to rob or kill, and when the limelight passes, we will continue to live our lives."

"Perhaps, this is just a casual slogan shouted by the British..."

However, some people reacted very strongly to this proposal that seemed like muddy mud:
"De Jong, I can't believe what you're saying! Why don't you just ask for a pardon and get the hell out of Nassau?!"

After being pointed at his nose and scolded, the old man quit immediately and stood up abruptly.

While the two scolded each other, they did not forget to invite their friends to be their support group.

As pirates, of course not all brothers are good friends, there are usually some frictions and rifts caused by various things.

For a moment, the entire hall was in a moan.

Looking at the noisy and chaotic scene in front of him, Luo Xia frowned, and slapped the table with a palm:
"Quiet!!!"

This roar directly silenced both sides of the scolding.

You know, in the past six months, Rorschach's personal fleet has expanded to five ships.

The five captains under him are all powerful pirates, and they are also members of the Pirate Council.

Strong strength, coupled with extremely high prestige, made Rorschach's position in the Pirate Republic unshakable.

Seeing that Rorschach was still spitting at each other, the pirates closed their mouths at the same time.

Under Rorschach's sharp gaze like a falcon, the pirates sat down one after another, not daring to make further mistakes.

Of course Rorschach knew that sooner or later the British would attack the pirates.

As for the move of the pardon, he had already expected it.

He just didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

It seems that the waves created by this little butterfly of mine are much bigger than expected...

Speaking of it, Britain was the first country to condone the breeding of pirates.

At that time, in order to crack down on other trading rivals, they privately issued privateering licenses to the captains of their own countries, encouraging them to legally rob merchant ships of other countries.

Subsequently, European countries followed suit.

During the War of the Spanish Succession, privateers became regulators of resources during the war.

Afterwards, because of the end of the war, the countries signed the Utrecht Peace Treaty, and the privateers who were abandoned by the country were forced to change into more unscrupulous pirates.

Now, seeing the rampant pirates, which have seriously threatened the trading activities at sea, I have a feeling that the tail is too big to lose, so I plan to kill the dog?

How can there be such a good thing!

Thinking of this, Luo Xia slowly stood up and spread his arms:

"Our existence itself is a huge threat to other countries. Even if we stay obediently and do nothing, sooner or later those countries will stare at us and find a way to eradicate us."

"Now, what we have to do is not to back down and bow our heads, but to defend our freedom!"

"And isn't this what we've been doing all along?!"

"The fortress we are in, you should all know what its name is."

After a pause, seeing everyone thinking, Luo Xia blinked, then raised his tone, and said loudly:

"Gentlemen!"

"The land under our feet is the Garden of Eden bought by all pirates with their blood and sweat! Here, we enjoy the air of freedom, happiness and dignity that are not available in other countries..."

"What I want to know is, are you planning to throw away your dignity and freedom like this, and surrender to these guys who call us pests and may hang us at any time..."

"I still plan to fight with me for Nassau and our country!"

"You choose!"
