Reborn As a Pirate

Cotton Jack in history was a legendary superstar who was active in the golden age of piracy.

Merry, fickle, greedy, hypocritical, and cowardly.

He should have certain sailing skills. He started out as a sailor and served as a quartermaster on a pirate ship named Treasure, in fact, he was in charge of managing the cargo hold.

He cleverly used his identity. Although he could not enter the power triangle of captain-helmsman-pilot, he still recruited a group of loyal supporters for himself.

By chance, he set off a mutiny on the ship, exiled the original captain, and replaced him with a dove occupying the magpie's nest, thus becoming the pirate captain.

He is a strange pirate.

Throughout his pirate career, he did not leave any representative wars and achievements in his short active period. The most talked about is that he initiated and promoted the pirate flag, and the other is that he and the two confidante Anne Bonny , Mary Reed's love and hatred.

What he experienced and what he pursued did not seem to be the mercenary barbarian in the traditional thinking, but rather a little nobleman who tried his best to gain a living in the social circle and racked his brains to settle down.

According to Catalina, the idea of ​​the Jolly Roger brought huge popularity to Cotton Jack.

Although his record and strength were not enough to make him included in the list of candidates for the Pirate King, there was a ready-made Pirate King who defected to him, offered a token, and was willing to help him.

This incident shocked the entire pirate world at the time.

According to the Pirate Code, Cotton Jack's situation was finally judged as relying on his own strength to complete the collection of the king's token. The Brotherhood of the Sea gave him a three-month attack period, and the pirates in the entire Caribbean flocked And to.

Melee, chaos, fierce battle...

The three-month period ended, and the former pirate king who defected to him died heroically in battle, and Cotton Jack made his two beauties pregnant with children during this period.

Thus the new pirate king was born, and along with this throne, a legend of an era... must be overthinking.

The real ending of this incident is: the overly high-profile Cotton Jack successfully attracted the attention of the Royal Navy, and with the funding of Woods Rogers, the Governor of Jamaica at the time, the pirate search team easily blocked him on the channel.

Cotton Jack hid in the cargo hold during the battle, leaving the two pregnant pirate princesses to fight against the sailors on the deck. Finally, the three of them confronted each other, and Qiqi was put in prison.

Cotton Jack was soon sentenced to be hanged, and after a few months of drying his body, Cotton Jack II, who was more in line with the standards of the Pirate King, defeated his competitors and succeeded in taking the throne. Until today, this title has been passed down to the seventh generation.

The leadership group of the Jackdaw, playing the role of a sparrow, still gathered on the yard, watching the pirate formation in the distance, while listening to Lorraine and Katerina taking turns talking about the secrets of the pirate world in a relaxed tone.

After finishing speaking, Bell looked at Lorraine suspiciously.

Captain Dibo is the famous and stigmatized saint, the red-haired Catalina known as the Caribbean Red Rose?

yes.

I have seen the information. Not long before we arrived in the New World, she was selected by the Brotherhood of the Sea as a candidate for Pirate King Mansfield III, right?

yes.

Since he is an insider, it is only natural for Captain Dibo to know so many secrets. But you...

Lorraine scratched his head embarrassingly: Although it sounds a bit unprofessional, from the perspective of the code, I am actually a non-candidate competitor for the seventh pirate king. And as long as I get the third token scattered outside , a new title can be born.

Oh...huh?!

...

Gentle wind, tame the waves.

At the edge of the Jackdaw's field of vision, the flagship formation of the Pirate King Cotton Jack VII floated up and down, advancing towards the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay without haste.

This made everyone on the Jackdaw find it difficult to understand.

The Bloody Mary is an old-style Galen of the same type and level as the Golden Hart. Judging from the design era, it is in the period when the French navy is rising strongly and is attacking the British sea power.

The change of ship type in that era was led by the French. The fifth-tier ship fought the fourth-tier ship, and the third-tier ship beat the second-tier ship. Although it could not really replace the United Kingdom as the sea supremacy, as a ship, the Galen destroyer of that type was undoubtedly It is a classic among classics.

But the classic destroyer is still a destroyer, and the firepower of up to 18 pounds does not have the strength to challenge the cutting-edge third-tier ships. What's more, the blockade formation is also a three-ship one, forming an absolute crush on the pirate formation in all aspects.

Did Cotton Jack VII not know the truth about the blockade at the mouth of the bay?

Lorraine found it impossible. Lingjiu Literature Network

The pirate formations emerged from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. If they don't know what's going on on the east coast of North America, they don't make any sense to do this kind of behavior.

So, does Cotton Jack VII have the confidence to break through Shaq's blockade from the front?

If this is the case, Lorraine can only say that the Sea Brotherhood can start selecting candidates for the VIII from now on.

I can't figure it out...

Lorraine pouted and looked at Katerina: Do you have any idea?

I heard that Cotton VII was originally a manor owner in Virginia. He was forced to go to sea after being persecuted by the local governor. If this rumor is true, he should be a supporter of the War of Independence. If Virginia's old friend has It is understandable to ask him to take risks to support the war.

But he is preparing to break through the blockade of a third-tier ship from the front.

Pirates are often confident in their speed, not to mention that Virginia's receiving port is in Norfolk, which is very close to the mouth of the bay, unlike Baltimore.

It must be admitted that only those who have really been pirates can understand the strange gambler thinking of pirates.

Do you just feel that you are fast enough to dare to bet your life with confidence?

Lorraine wanted to laugh a little.

He spread his hands indifferently: Okay, Mr. Pirate King thinks he can outrun the blocking formation. What about you? When are you going to welcome?

I want to follow in.

Lorraine raised his eyebrows in surprise: Broad day?

Katerina nodded solemnly.

Just like Cotton VII thinks he will be able to escape, I also firmly believe that he will be blocked by the block formation at the mouth of the bay. This is our chance, as long as we operate properly, we can buy back half a day for this trip.

After speaking, she looked at Lorraine, waiting for Lorraine's final decision.

Lorraine looked back strangely.

This time you are the captain. What do you think I am doing for something like this that concerns the lives of the entire ship?

...

Whistling, on duty, the sailors are running hard on the deck. Bell took over the handwheel again, and Hannah and Pierce boarded the lookout successively.

The adventurous surprise decision was executed hastily and carelessly in this way, very much like Katerina's character, impulsive and full of courage.

Lorraine is not going to interfere with her decision, even if this decision is still a little risky in Lorraine's view, at least it is far less secure than Yehang.

But adventure...

People who walk on the sea are taking risks all the time. This smuggling itself is a huge gamble. Compared with it, a strong assault under the cover of a pirate formation is not even a risk, but a simple and daily adventure. That's all.

Since it is a daily routine, why bother to interfere?

Walking on the boat, admiring the selfless and skillful work of the crew from a rare onlooker's perspective, Lorraine couldn't help but took a breath of admiration.

Since it is a first-level security, the divination room should not be allowed to be used. Otherwise, go to tell your fortune?

Before he could make a decision, Hana's cry was passed down.

The distance is 24 kilometers, the heading is southwest, the relative speed is 4.5 knots, the formation in front cuts the wind!

Will you go to Henry's Corner honestly? I thought there would be a bolder choice... Lorraine and Katerina said at the same time, separated by two places.

After leaving these words, Lorraine lazily pushed open the door of the divination room.

Katerina stood tall and tall on the upper deck of the bow, and drew out her sword with a clang.

Raise the sails, set up the catching sail and the bowsail. Since they are going south, our goal... is to go north and capture Cape Charles.

Jackdaw, let's go!
