Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 166 Pirate Kingdom: Kill the yellow bird before starting the war!

Northeast corner of Bantaan Sea, Bahamas.

Among all the pirate private ports in the Bantaan Sea, the largest one, "Black Sail Port", is located here.

This port is also a new pirate city established in the Bantaan Islands after the pirates of the Old World were forced to migrate south (Chapter 23).

Most of the free pirates gathered here.

This was also the first stop for the Castilian adventurer when he arrived in the Bantaan Islands.

Located on the edge of the Devil's Triangle, an area of ​​water that can only be entered but not exited, it has more than 700 islands and 2400 reefs.

It is very convenient for many free pirates to avoid escort fleets from various countries chasing them.

The most important thing is that this place is close to the "First Gyre", an important sea transportation route with frequent ships coming and going. You can catch the fat sheep that comes to your doorstep as long as you wait at home.

"Get off the ship. The sailor on duty will be responsible for guarding the ship and handing over the loot from this robbery to the pirate group's quartermaster."

"The rest of you are free to do what you want. We will have a big operation soon. Please report back in three days. No more waiting after that."

A small fleet flying the flag of the Pirate King [Ocean Throne], led by the port pilot, passed through the thick fog and dangerous waterways full of reefs, and slowly docked at the pier of Black Sail Port.

creak!

A huge figure, two meters long and wide, walked down from a flagship whose forecastle was obviously damaged, causing the wooden plank road under his feet to creak.

This was none other than the [Fat Dragon] who had an unexpected encounter with Byron and was transformed into a [Weird Wild Hunt Servant] by him after a great battle.

For the first time, Byron's perspective was extended to this new pirate city.

“The air smells of freedom and decadence.

Compared to Iron Anchor Bay, where many ordinary Beidiwan people live, this place is more in line with ordinary people's imagination of a pirate port."

The notorious Blacksail Port is home to the up-and-coming Bantaan pirates and is known as "one of the most depraved places on the sea."

Walking on the bumpy streets, with sewage and even drunken pirates' vomit everywhere on the ground, it shows that public management is dysfunctional.

There are densely packed and messy buildings on both sides of the street. It is obvious that this port city was not well planned when it was first built.

One out of every four buildings on the street is a tavern or a brothel, and most of the other shops are casinos, weapon shops, or pharmacies selling various contraband.

Of course, there are also banks and black markets run by the Remit people.

Apparently, those pirates who risked their lives on the edge of their swords would return here to have fun after each robbery, looking for beautiful women and rum.

Byron also captured the voice of [Fei Long]:

"This is a place where men spend their money. When women and wine are placed in front of them, no matter how much money they have, it is not enough.

Some people can spend two or three thousand gold coins in one night, and they are even willing to spend 500 gold coins just to watch a beautiful dancer take off her clothes. "

“This is the holy land of the Jinyuan sequence, it is both heaven and hell.

Many people make money and then live a life of luxury here, spending all their savings in a few days. If they lose the ability to rob, they can only survive by begging.

If you are unlucky, you will die in a stinking ditch the next day, or become the raw material for some taboo ritual."

"Their pursuits are really too vulgar, I am different, my hobby is elegant food.

It’s totally worth spending any amount of money for this hobby.”

The Barbary Pirates, with a fifth-level pirate king in charge, are obviously one of the most powerful pirate groups in this pirate city.

Not only does it have an independent pirate base, but it also has an independent fortress built on the coastal cliffs far away from the main urban area of ​​the port.

Even though their power far surpassed that of others, they were still not satisfied, because the next big thing the Barbary pirates were going to do was to establish a country!
The top brass hurriedly summoned all the captains at sea to return for a meeting, also for this matter.

This opportunity is rare, so even looting can be put aside for the time being.

As soon as Feilong (Byron) entered the rough-style meeting hall in the fortress, he unexpectedly heard some of the captains who had arrived earlier talking about him:
"Hey, have you heard? The Wild Hunt who made a big splash in Anchor Bay last year has done something big again this time.

He actually worked with the Azik Empire to create a monster that spread the smallpox virus.

Right now, the Bird-Billed Plague Doctor is wreaking havoc on the island of Yucatan to the west."

Hearing his words, another pirate captain next to him sneered:

"You also believe the news released by those bastards in the Kingdom of Castile?

I also saw the bounty of 48000 pounds.

It's just a cover-up for the dirty deeds you've done.

Even the famous [Conquistador] Cortes was killed. Castile couldn't catch him, so now it can only take advantage of him with words."

"Besides, a group of natives teamed up with outsiders to create a weapon that can only be used to kill themselves? Are you stupid or am I stupid?
Castile has been rampant for too long, even his lies are illogical.

What if one day in the future they took out a tube of lime powder and accused the Holy Silver Empire of developing extraordinary weapons against them?

And then I wouldn't be surprised if they robbed the Habsburg crown."

The pirate who spoke first didn't take it seriously, shrugged and continued:

“It doesn’t matter who created that monster. The key is that the natives on the island died of illness on a large scale.

Our chance to build our nation has come!

Think about it, that's all unowned land, there's no better place to establish a country than Yucatan."

Hearing the topic he was concerned about, Byron took over Fat Dragon's body and sat down on a chair nearby.

Glancing secretly at the meeting hall, a huge nautical chart had been placed in the middle of the hall.

Two or three hundred pirate captains were sitting around a wooden platform.

Although the majority are Barbary pirates with exotic clothing, there are also Gulf pirates and Bantaan pirates from various countries.

Everyone is extraordinary.

Fat Dragon is the strongest among the second-level creatures. He even dares to fight against the third-level creatures on the non-combat side by relying on his staple food, geoduck. His status can only be considered upper-middle.

Just sitting near the platform, there were more than a dozen third-level pirates.

This shows the background of a fifth-level pirate king.

You should know that the most powerful adventurers and pirates in the Bantaan Islands have already gone further south to compete for the right to discover new routes and new continents.

That is not only an honor, but also real extraordinary power.

It is said that the fifth-level pirate king [Ocean Throne] was no exception and naturally took away a large number of elite troops.

No wonder they had the confidence to plunder the church, the imperial family, and the maritime overlords at the same time.

The heated discussion nearby continued. The pirate captain who spoke first waved his jewel-encrusted scimitar and said loudly and passionately:
"As long as we establish a nation on the island of Yucatán, we can replace the Taino people and directly control the source of spices and various indigenous specialties.

From now on, all merchants will have to look to us for guidance."

“Yes, from then on, we Barbary pirates completed the key step from plundering to collecting taxes.

As elders, everyone will be a new noble of the Pirate Kingdom!"

Take off your pirate outfit and wash the blood off your hands.

He counted the gold and silver he earned from murder and robbery and the slave trade, then bought a manor and a title, put on noble clothes, and from then on began to call himself a gentleman and a civilized man.

Such stories were repeated in the Old World, inspiring generations of pirates to follow.

There are also some reasonable pirates among the crowd:

"The key is that our other identity is the navy of the Star-Moon Empire, and this matter still needs the approval of the empire.

Now that the Pirate King is gone, if we are not recognized, even if we establish a nation, it will just be another large-scale pirate city."

At this moment, the noise in the hall came to an abrupt end.

With the sound of footsteps coming from the side door behind the platform, an invisible pressure suddenly weighed heavily on everyone's heart.

"Master!"

Byron also clearly felt that this body's heartbeat was accelerating and its breathing was becoming difficult.

When a tall figure with blue hair and blue beard appeared on the stage, the powerful sense of oppression reached its peak.

It was not until he walked to the center of the platform and waved casually to the audience that the pressure disappeared instantly.

"Good day, Vice King!"

Then, all the pirate captains, including those third-level pirates, stood up and saluted him respectfully.

The man who came was none other than the Vice King [Blue Hair] Barbarossa Hayle Din, whose status among the Barbary Pirates was second only to the Pirate King [Ocean Throne] Barbarossa Hayle Din!

He looks to be in his thirties.

His small eyes sparkled, and above his lips were two thick blue mustaches that curled up high.

He was dressed in gorgeous silk, with a scimitar in a golden sheath hanging from his waist and pointed boots on his feet.

One can tell at first glance that this is an extraordinary person who has held power for a long time.

Byron also bowed respectfully, but in his heart, alarm bells were ringing:
"Level 4! This kind of oppressive aura is definitely not something a Level 3 Transcendent can possess."

When facing this twin brother who looked exactly like the Pirate King, he felt almost the same pressure as when he stood in front of the King.

His heart sank involuntarily; the opponent's strength seemed to be much stronger than he had imagined.

'Even if the main body is here, due to the difference in class, the logbook cannot read any information on him.

It may not be easy to find clues about the disappearance of [Whale Hunter] Jack Harold from the Pirate King's brothers.'

[Blue Hair] Haier Ding didn't waste any words. He took out a piece of letter paper from his pocket and said loudly to the pirate captains under his command:
"His Majesty Bayezid of the Star-Moon Empire has given us authorization.

They promised us that we could establish an independent country in the Bantaan Islands, recognized our status, and would give us full support in terms of diplomacy, funds, and equipment.

Hail, my captains."

This sentence is tantamount to the starting gun in the battle to establish a country.

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of pirate captains in the audience immediately roared with excitement.

"Roar--!"

"I have finally waited for this day."

“My brother, the Pirate King [Ocean Throne] is attacking new routes in the south.

This time we will establish a country in the southern part of Yucatan Island to build a stable rear base and provide support to them.

By then cooperating with Black Sail Port in the east and west, we can clamp down on the main shipping routes of the entire Bantaan Islands and completely turn the Sapphire Sea into our inland sea!"

Haier Ding had no intention of discussing the matter with others, and there was no democratic vote among the pirates. There was only a cold unilateral notification.

After making this decision, my eyes naturally fell on the huge nautical chart.

An originally inconspicuous place suddenly becomes particularly eye-catching under such a strategy.

"This is where?"

Of course, the pirates under his command knew that [Blue Hair] was not asking about the name of the island, but the specific situation of the archipelago.

Someone immediately responded respectfully:

“Vice Prince, this is the Taiman Islands, which belongs to the Kingdom of Hastings.

It is said that it was designated as the territory of Countess Greenville just years ago, and there is a privateering fleet called the Pioneer Colonial Trading Company stationed there.

The owner was a pirate general appointed by Hastings.

However, there isn't even a single level three warrior there, and their strength is nothing compared to ours.

However, one of the islands had been occupied by the Kingdom of Castile as a forward base, and the people of Hastings did not even dare to protest.

Vice-Prince, you have a sharp eye.

This place is the midpoint of the east-west route, and is also another triangle vertex outside of Castile Havana Island and the Taya Empire. Its strategic value has been greatly enhanced. Even the Kingdom of Hettings itself may not have thought of it. "

[Blue hair] Hailding waved his hand casually:
"What is the relationship between Earl Greenville and Hattings? Never mind. It doesn't matter.

Logically speaking, our only opponent is the Kingdom of Castile, and any other forces are not worth mentioning.

But my strategy is to play it safe.

The country of Hattings is famous for its love of intrigue and conspiracy.

Before going to war with Castile, we first eliminated any unexpected factors that might give us an advantage.

Start gathering your troops now. Before the fleet sets sail, send out three great pirates as the vanguard to take down this place for me!"

His tone was overbearing, as if he was casually talking about what to eat tonight.

But no one thought he was joking, not even the real "victim" Byron.

His face was dull, his mouth felt bitter, and he had countless swear words he wanted to spit out but couldn't.

"How can this person not play by the rules?!"
