Chapter 2 The Pirate Conference at Shipwreck Cove
Shipwreck Bay is an island with a very special geographical structure, surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and only a narrow gap can enter and exit this bay.
The special geographical environment makes this a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With the natural defense barrier, if there is enough food, pirates gather here and can defend it for a lifetime.
But considering their urination, a lifetime is too long, a quilt is very possible!
Shipwreck Bay was not called this name in the early years. It was accidentally discovered by pirates and accumulated with sunken ships. After hundreds of years, an island was transformed.
All the pirates who come here must abide by the Pirate Code. It is strictly forbidden to fight against personal enemies. If you want to duel, you can go outside Shipwreck Bay.
Barbossa, Jack, and Sao Feng moored the ship and went straight to the pirate guild hall, where the meeting was held.
In order to watch the fun, Russell went to the meeting site with Xiao Feng behind. Elizabeth and Turner were also with him. Father, very concerned about the outcome of this meeting.
As soon as they entered the hall, several people realized that they were late, and the other pirate kings had already arrived.
Barbossa had a thick skin, ignored the fiery gazes of the pirates, cleared his throat and said, "As the convener of the meeting, I, Captain Hector Barbossa, announce the official opening of the Fourth Pirate Conference."
The meeting started, and the pirate kings took their seats one by one. The sacred pirate meeting cannot be profaned. Although they are dissatisfied, they can only press it for the time being and wait until later.
"Captains, in order to prove your identities and rights, please present the ancient Spanish silver coins!"
It is said to be Spanish silver coins, but it is actually a pile of broken copper and iron, such as the wooden eyeball of Barbossa, the pirate king of the Caspian Sea.The most valuable piece of 'ancient silver coin' comes from Xiaofeng, a piece of carefully carved jade, tied with a silk pendant from the ancient East, standing out from the crowd among a group of country bumpkins, with a very high style.
These rags were forced by the current situation. Back then, Calypso did whatever he wanted on the sea, and the nine pirate kings were too poor to open their pots, and they couldn’t eat enough to eat. How could they have spare money to buy silver coins.
As for why the 'silver coins' in Xiao Feng's hands are so valuable, I can only say that the Chinese are good-looking, and even if they tighten their belts, they have to buy high-end keepsakes.
Time was running out, and Barbosa, as the host of the meeting, exchanged a few casual greetings, and then began to cut to the topic of the meeting, telling the story of the East India Company's ambitions, which posed a fatal threat to the pirates.
The East India Company plotted against the sea, and could not tolerate the pirates who were accustomed to freedom. They chased and intercepted them all over the world, and the pirates fled around like street mice.
Whether it's money or human resources, the pirates combined can't compare to a toe of the East India Company.
The sea is getting more and more difficult to mess with, more than half of the pirates have abandoned their ships and gone ashore, and changed their careers to become bandits and bandits!
Since the birth of pirates, a career full of money, it has never been so miserable, and the limelight has intensified. This is really a crisis of life and death.
The last sentence was not spoken by Barbosa, and it is possible to replace it with Xiao Feng, but in order to save words, he translated his words into classical Chinese, which probably meant this.
After listening to Barbossa's brief narration, the Pirate Kings all fell silent. They all understood this truth, otherwise they would not have come to the meeting.
The East India Company has cleared out most of the pirates, and it is time to take them, the pirate kings, together. Now that the nine pirate kings have gathered, if they cannot come up with a charter to break the situation, the pirate guild will completely decline. Nothing to do with pirates.
"Everyone, I know that many people still have a fluke mentality, thinking that they can escape this catastrophe by hiding." Barbossa looked around at everyone, his tone turned cold, "But unfortunately, disasters swept across, and they can escape once. We can't escape the second time, we can only face it."
"But the British Royal Navy is behind the East India Company, and we can't beat them..."
Among the pirates, someone whispered, this is the truth, no matter how powerful the pirates are, it is impossible to defeat a huge empire, especially this empire has the most powerful fleet at sea.
"We can hide in Shipwreck Bay. This is an unbreakable fortress, and the East India Company cannot break in!"
"Then we will lose our freedom. Without freedom, are we still pirates?"
"Life and freedom, what's wrong with choosing life?"
Several Pirate Kings quarreled with each other, except for political differences, it was more purely for the sake of raising arguments, raising arguments for raising arguments.
That's right, they just don't like others!
"Captains, please listen to me."
Barbossa took off his shoes and slammed them on the table, waiting for everyone to stop arguing and continued, "Captains, I called everyone here because I came up with a solution to the dilemma."
The pirates all shut up when they heard the words, and concentrated on listening to Barbossa's opinions. Now that the situation is corrupt, they are powerless to stop it but they are unwilling to suffer death.They are pirate kings, and the East India Company will never let them go, and they will die in the end.So, don't look at them who don't care on the surface, in fact they are more anxious than anyone else.
Barbossa raised a finger, "There is someone who can help us change this situation and restore the sea to the era when pirates were at their peak."
"Who?"
"King George II of Britain!?"
Feeling that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Barbosa smiled mysteriously, "Goddess of the sea, Calypso!"
After the words fell, there was a brief silence in the hall, and then the pot suddenly exploded. They had no idea that Barbossa would regard Calypso, the deadly enemy of the pirates, as his savior.
"This is ridiculous!"
"Calypso was sealed by the first generation of pirate kings. Although it has little to do with us, she is a goddess after all. Goddesses are narrow-minded. I don't think she would mind venting her anger on us."
"Barbossa, you think of her, don't you know how cruel she is?"
There are those who deny this proposal, and there are naturally those who agree with it. Of course, these people also have a pessimistic and negative attitude.Anyway, if you can't beat the East India Company, you will die sooner or later. It is better to release Calypso and take the East India Company to be buried with him.
If the goddess is not as cruel as the rumors say, maybe they can get some rewards, such as gold coins that sink into the bottom of the sea, or treasures on uninhabited islands.
"Don't be silly, you are daydreaming, once Calypso is released, we will be the first ones she kills."
"This debt was made by the first generation of Pirate Kings, and has nothing to do with us!"
"Calypso doesn't think so. She has no reason to help me deal with the East India Company."
"How will you know if you don't try?"
"Try and die, you stupid pig!"
"How dare you call me a stupid pig, are you provoking me?"
"That's right!"
"..."
There was a quarrel in the hall, and it quickly turned from a quarrel to a full-scale martial arts. For a while, shoes and saliva were flying all over the sky... Wu, no Xiang, at least not for now.
The chaotic hall was very much like a court at the same time. The battle was very tragic, with quarrels, curses, and fists.
"Unbelievable, they are really crazy..." Elizabeth was dumbfounded. Pirates are indeed a vulgar endorsement, but this is a meeting, can you be more serious.
Barbosa took it for granted, and replied, "Study hard, the politics class has begun."
"Huh, politics is fighting?"
"To be precise, this is called war. They are fighting for their own interests!"
The deep meaning in Barbossa's words is summed up from many years of life experience. Elizabeth is too young, and it is difficult to understand just by the "Sabeth" in her name.
