Surrounded by a bustling castle, the rose vines formed a natural wall to enclose the castle, and the bright sunlight shone on the castle, making it extraordinarily dreamy and warm.

A study room in the castle, the room is filled with all kinds of bookshelves, simple and luxurious, but at this time there are only three people in the hall, one of them is sitting at the desk, while the other two are wearing white wigs The other man lowered his head desperately, wishing he could find a place to sneak in and disappear!

"boom!"

Duke William's face was flushed, he raised his hand and threw it angrily, and the thick stack of newspapers was smashed to the ground!

"Look! Look at what these newspapers say?! Incompetent Portuguese Imperial Navy? Cunning new century pirates?"

"My face is simply thrown away by you!"

Duke William is a middle-aged man in his thirties and 40s. He is tall, wearing a unique upper-class aristocratic jazz suit, and the blond hair on the top of his head is combed back one by one. Today is already the fourth day after the incident! You have not even been able to find the trace of the pirates, what use is it for me to support you?"

But every time he said a word, the bodies of the two sitting down trembled, and their faces became paler and paler.

"Your Excellency, please calm down... We have found out that the person who attacked our colonial port this time... was just an ordinary little pirate named Bartholomew Roberts. I believe that with this clue, we will be able to arrest him immediately. .” Taking out a handkerchief from his pocket, one of the administrators said with a smile as he wiped the sweat from his forehead tremblingly.

"Bathalomeu Roberts? An ordinary little pirate? Do you two really think I'm a fool? Do I just look like a no-brainer?" Then Duke William was furious again, and the man was furious and stared at the two of them fiercely: "The names of those pirates were passed to me that day! Don't you know what the other party's name is these days?"

"It's true that the other party is a little pirate, and it's also true that it's called Bartholomew, but using this kind of nonsense that you can get wanted immediately if you know the name, you can only deceive those fools!"

"There are so many of you who can't even find their traces. What are you doing these days?! Tell me what are you doing?" William's anger seemed to burn his reason.

Since the outbreak of the War of Spanish Succession, in order to compete for the Spanish throne, most countries in Europe have participated in the struggle between the Bourbon royal family of the French Empire and the Absburg royal family of Austria. Portugal is geographically closest to Spain, so naturally they cannot escape beyond the scope of this war.

Especially this war, on the surface, it seems to be for the issue of succession to the throne, but in fact, the purpose of the empire's actions is to plunder the empire's colonies, and William naturally knows this.

Because of this matter, the consumption of the empire's troops was much higher than usual, and he was extremely busy every day, but now at this juncture, such a big thing happened!Even His Majesty knew about this matter, and this morning he specially asked him to ask for a talk. In front of many ministers, his face was completely humiliated!Even the whole family was humiliated!

"My lord duke, please calm down! We will do our best to catch them!" Beady sweat appeared on the top of their heads, and the two felt that they were about to burn as if they were being placed on a fire.

Those damned pirates!

I really don't know where they went. They tried their best to find each other's trace, but the ocean area is too vast, and they dispatched dozens of naval fleets, but they couldn't find it.

The ability to hide and escape is really amazing!

"Hmph! This time, if you haven't found their group within a week, I will dismiss you all!" Duke William hid his eyes, and his cold voice threateningly resounded throughout the room.

"I don't care where they came from! Exactly how many people and how powerful the crew are! But since they dared to attack the colony under my control and made me lose face in front of the imperial family, this time I will never forgive them easily!"

"The order goes on, I broadcast [-] gold coins from the private vault to buy their lives! I want everyone to know about this! Let there be conflicts among them! Let other bounty hunters and pirates all fight for their lives! These bounties are crazy!" William yelled at the two of them angrily, "I don't believe that if this continues, I still can't catch that damned pirate!"

Fifty thousand gold coins?

An adult slave is only 12 gold coins!Fifty thousand gold coins are enough to buy more than 4000 slaves!

With this money, they don't need to be pirates at all, shuttle and rob dangerously at sea, and can buy a piece of land in Europe and America at will to become farmers!Isn't it just to make money when they spend their days at sea?Isn't it just to make your life better in the future? ——This amount of money is enough to make all bounty hunters and pirates tempted.

Even the other pirates on that pirate boy's ship, once they know that their captain's head can be exchanged for [-] gold coins, I'm afraid someone will attack them that night!He would like to see how long that guy can last? !

"Yes!"

Seeing that Duke William had no intention of punishing the two of them at this time, the two of them wiped the sweat off their brows and quickly nodded in response.

As the Duke of the Empire, once he really wants to deal with some pirates, no one can escape their palms!

……

No one knew that Duke William was acting so crazy at this time.

Donoghue and the pirates stood on the deck, his eyes flickering. He stared at the dozen or so merchants on the deck, and looked back and forth with interest. These people were all caught on board when they attacked Casablanca. When the port was attacked and chaotic, Palu took advantage of the opportunity to catch them.

"Tell me, where did you guys hide your treasure?" A pirate held a scimitar, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"How dare we hide it? We have already taken off all the jewelry on our bodies and handed it over to you, so how can we have other treasures?" A middle-aged businessman with a beard said helplessly with a shy face.

"Hmph! Do you think I will believe what you say?" The blade slapped the middle-aged businessman's face fiercely, and the pirate bared his teeth and shouted fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense, I am a pirate, and what I want is money! You have to give me money!" Take it out, I will let you go as soon as possible..."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The faces of all the merchants changed in unison.

"Tell me all the places where you hide your money on weekdays, and take off all your clothes and pants to check! Don't miss a single one!"
